1t Is now positively announced that on
May Isl, Messrs, Duncan, O'Conor Il Gil
bert will open law Office in Opera House
Block (cor. Washington anu Clark Sts.,)
Chicago. The making of this enlarg.
ment of their business will necessitate the
removal of Hon. j. w, Duncan, and Judge
Gilbert to Chicago at once and Mr..
EcKels later on. The Ottawa office will
remain open as usual and be in charge of
Mr.. A. J. OCJnor while Mr.. V. J. Duncan
will have the La Sale Office in charge.
Neither Mr.. Duncan nor Judge Gilbert
will withdraw wholly from business in
Ottawa, where they have many important
cases yet to finish up, and they will be seen
here, therefore, frequently. Still their
ever partial withdraw fran the LA Sale
county bar will leave marked vacancy in
that body of professional men. They
have in the comparatively few years of
professional life in Ottawa made for them
selves, personally and as firm, so impor-
tant a position among La Sale county's
attorney that their absence will be more
marked than that of perhaps any other
two men who have practiced In this city
for 90 years, During 10 or ~ years the
firm of Duncan Il O'Conor had presented
one or the other side of at least two-fifths
of all cases brought to the Circuit Court
and later the firm of Duncan, O'Conor &
Gilbert has represented one side in every
important case tried In Ottawa. 1t has
long been recognized as one of the ablest
law firms in the State. The bar, then, will
miss them. their local clients will
miss them, and they have lived here SO

Inc recent murders In saloons kept by
Hungsrians in Streator ought to teach the
council of that town lesson. The deeds
themselves ought to be enough to put a
stop to the granting OF licenses to men of
that nationality, few of whom can even
speak the English language-the language
of the nation and of the government. No
city or town should grant license to an
English speaking man who is VIGOROUSLY
unfit to manage business of that kind in
way to protect his patrons as we'll as the
peace and quite of the neighberhood, much
less to man who cannot speak English or
read 1t. Zabo, the keeper of the den In
which the last murder was committed
should be held to strict account. No
saloon man should be deprived of any of
his rights under the law, but he is not en-
titled to anything more than his rights;
and most men believe in the rule of the
Pennsylvania court as mentioned last week
that saloon-keeper is bound TO protect his
guest or patron and should be held respOn
sible for any injury he may sustain while
in his house. La the case at Streator it is
quite likely that the Huns know little if
anything of the nature of law, justice and
rignt. They know America is free"
country, and think, therefore, they may do
as they please even to the taking of life
This notion should be taken out of their
heads, and it cannot be done any too quick

ishmeut under the law excepted, A hang.

The debate on the tariiT bill, rs perfected
by the ways an means committee and
reported to the House was opened on the
lOth inst, by Mr.. Chairman Mills, in an
able and exhaustive two hours speech.
Those who had been accustomed to Tidi-
Guile him as rough, uniformed repre-
sentative of the cowboys and curncrackels
of the Lone Star State, were rather taken
back, both by the manner and substance tf
his effort. As a Philadelphia uewspapt
correspondent puts II, he turns up emphat-
ically ~ singed cat His delivery was
cool calm, collected and forclble. When
interrupted by questions, his answers were

were irresistible and conclusive, and as a
whole the speech was on all sides conceded

Mr.. Kelly of Pennsylvania, the father
OF the House. and the apostle Of prOtec-
ton" per Sc, was pltted against him to open
the debate on the side of the high tarlilites
and his speech, also some two hours in
length, is conceded even by his friends
To have been weak and disappointing
while the other side unhesitatingly charac-
terizes II as "a sheer specimen of parlia-
mentary demagogism." None of the salient
point of Mr.. Mills's speech were attempted
to be answered, but Mr.. Kelly branched
eff into a frothy deplnciatlon of the Inter
nal revenue tax, declaring the tobacco taN
an unjustifable oppression of the poor
man, and the whisky tax, as the author OF
the whisky ring, the parent of system OF
tyranny and oppression equal to the slave
power before the war. He presents
therefore, for his party the single issue
upon which to go before the country, OF
total abrogation of the tax on whisky and
tobacco; and, as that world result In a
reduction of the revenue 10 the amount OF
$40, 100000 a year more than the present
surplus amounts to and more than the
exigencies of the treasury can bear, he
would add that amount 10 the already
almost prohibitory and cruel tax on
necessaries, In order that the most indie
fensible and injurious Injuries Of life may

THE FARMER AND THE TARIFF.

The Am. Manufacturer, the Hon. Joseph
ID. Weeks, editor, takes the FREE TRADER
to task Tor the statement that
Az American farmers nave 10 sell every
Dushel of grain they market whether ii is
consumed al home or abroad, at prices
fixed 10y Europeans" earaing half wages,
1000 miles away it Is hard to see what
difference II makes to them (which are
the best customers
The Manufacturer says "If Europeans
" can fix prices of American farm products
when they take only onetenth of the
" total produced, could they not fix them
" far more tayorably for themselves if by
" the destruction of our protective tariff
the supply of those products were in
creased and the quantity thrown on the
" European market doubled or quadru
"pled"
Now, in the first place it is by no means
conceded that the obstruction of our pro-
tectiye tariff " will increase the supply OF
farm products; for ii does not follow that
tariff reform will drive single, solitary
man out of the factory To the farm. That
of course is the great bug y boo protection
lists are perpetually thrustiug into our faces
But ii is only scare crow and not po.
tent danger
But the Manufacturer says:
.. Why does the American farmer sell
zone tenth) of his products in low trade
market Because the home demand Is not
| large enough TO take them all. But if pro.
lection is maintained it will not be great
while until il will be Then he will not be
obliged to sell in ~ low free trade market"
nor will the European be able to fix his
| prices; nor will he be obliged to pay the
expenses of shipping his products four
thousand miles TO find market; he will
| find better market al home for all his
products, as thanks to protection, he al
ready does for nine teHtts of them. In the
good old days between 1850 and 1860
when duties were for revenue only, he very
often found no market either at home or
abroad, and consequently used his corn for
| fuel!
How much longer are we to wait be-
| fore all our produce is consumed at home .
In the II years, $4,000, the average per
centage of exports of agricultural products
to the total of domestic exports was 79455,
In the II years, 1877 to 1887, inclusive, /,
was 77.l43, In 1887 after 25 years of home
market" the farmers furnished "A 10 of the
total exports or but sos per cent less than
they averaged In the SOS, and s O6 per cent
less than they furnished In 1861. At this
rate 1t will take 200 more years Of pro-
lection before they will be able to sell all
they produce In home market" This

The statute which prohibits the impor
tation of foreign labor under contract has
been on the books for long time, but
importing capitalists have paid but little
attention to it, During the Reading strike
its violation was open and notorious though
the Philadelphia port officers could tiud
no evidence to convict any one under its
provisions. The President has, however,
the matter in hand, in the case of lmpor-
tations by Massachusetts vessel owners,
who have been manning fishing vessels
with Canadians in violation of the statute.
and has ordered the district attorney of
Boston to investigate the cases, supplying
him with special agents for the purpose
This is a new wrinkle and doubtless
not pleasing one to the Boston importers
