The Republican's criticism of Judge
Cations letter on the tariff is an unfair
perversion The Judge undoubtedly did
say that few night skilled laborers about
glass works got very high wages and that
protection" enabled the employees to pay
them; but that they were as one In five
thousand, the wages of all other workmen
being governed, as they are everywhere
else, by the law of supply and demand;
and as evidence of this, he mentioned the
well known fact that In all the highly pro
tected industries the wages averaged lower
than In the unprotected industries.
As to why the Ottawa glass works pay
no dividends on their stock, no explanation
in Ottawa is needed They were origi,
nally built on a stock subscription of $40,,
600. Half that sum was spent In expert.
ments, and then the works burned down.
Judge Cation rebuilt them with money
loaned by himself to the company, of which
he owned nearly all the stock, and enlarged
the plant at the cost, by this time, of prob
ably $4,000. With an annual charge of
ten or fifteen thousand dollars on the works
to pay the interest on the Judges loans, 1t
Is not strange that little'should be left for
" dividends" Yet We hardly think the
Judge, VINO really owns the works, cons
plains that the investment is losing one
to him. Anyhow, does the Republican
want as TO infer that because the Ottawa
Glass works, which pay exactly the same
wages for skilled labor that are paid by all
glass works west of the Alleghenies, fail
to pay dividend of their stock, all the
other glass works fail also?

OnR IMPORTATIONS.

lf a0surdity was always comical, the
tariff disquisitions of the Wta,od Republican
would afford a never. failing source OF
amusement, That paper of yesterday gives
list OF IA articles Of foreign manufacture
imported during the last year, amounting
TO S231 100000, and says the only way To
stop these importatons is TO put Oh more
tariff, for otherwise "the only way TO
compete with foreign manufacturers is TO
reduce the cost of production, which can
be done only by reduction of wages"
In this list are "woolen goods, IA ,235,'
243." The editor knows that these wooden
goods are imported solely because, on
account of the high tariff on foreign woods
needed for mixing with the home-raised
woods, our manufacturers are unable, In
spite of their 60 per cent protection, to
compete with the English and French
manufacturers; but that with free wool
they can not only wipe out this heavy
importation but compete with Europe In
the market Of the world, thus adding
immensely to the demand for and price of
home raised woods.
In the same list are cotton goods, 500,
10000" These are mainly fancy French
and British cottons which our own manu-
facturers, having such a good thing by
their trust" monopoly of all the common
cotton goods consumed in the country, are
too mean and stingy to procure the neces'
sary costly machinery to produce. There
is no remedy for this but to cut down the
tariff and break up the greedy cotton trust
Other articles In the list are such as clocks
and watches, corsets, earthen and China
ware. funcy articles, hats, bonnets and
hoods, &c.,-all the finer articles of luxury
or vertu, not made In this country, and
which are mainly purchased by our veal
thy aristccrats and snobs without regard to
price because they are foreign" The
" silk goods, $31, 264 ,276," are largely raw
Or unfinished silks by our own manufac'
tuners; and Flax, hemp, jute, manufac'
turers of, $33 sO7 ,2s2," are largely raw ma.
terlsls which no amount Of protection has
yet been able to tempt our own agricul'
turists to produce, but which, II placed
upon the free list. - they are In the Mills
bill, will tend greatly to stimulate our
feeble, struggling home manufactures.
that have hitherto been kept under for
want Of raw material,
So our esteemed contemporary will see
that altogether the larger end of his for
midable list of foreign importations might
be wiped out by little judicious encour'
agement of our home manufacturers In the
way of cheap raw materials, which the
democrats propose to give them.
Meantime the question Is pertinent, what
have France, England, &c, token In return
for these $237, OO0, 900 worth OF goods they
sent us9 They have not taken gold, for
this country annually imports about $780,,
100000 more gold than 1t exports. Our
producers of wheat, pork, beef and cotton
are Interested In the answer as to that Ques.

BLAINE Is at least bold, If not bad
man. Before his return from Europe the
Republicans in the U. s. senate, alarmed
by the manifest Roadway the Democrats
were making In consequence of the abso-
Lutte veto placed on tariff reform by the
Chicago platform, undertook to take off q
little of the edge of that complaint by per
fecting tariff reduction bill of their own.
" WHAT" said Blaine, as soon as he landed
in New York: "split up the party by the
most imposing body of its leaders repudi.
ating Its platform! Never!" and the
senate tariff bill dropped as If hit by
lightning. Then the republican senators
again became alarmed by the loud Demo-
cratic talk about "trusts," and Senator
Sherman proposed to head that of by
proposing on milk and watery measures
against trusts. "Stufi and nonsense" said
Blaine, trusts are private affairs, with
which neither the President, congress or
private citizens have any particular right
TO interfere" And 30 Sherman dried up
about trusts.
The constitution of Blaine Is that the
tariff octopus must be taken as whole.
To touch any tentacle of 1t, trusts included,
Is to alarm and excite the whole animal.
What we must have, he says, is the un-
divided help of the whole monster. We
can make-buy-nore votes by frying out
some of his fat twice over than by any
mawkish attempt to yield to popular
clamor, Stick TO the Saurian!
