Practical Tariff Talk.

plODe-DeihocTht
In his speech. to the miners who visited
him recently, Gen. Harrison presented
some views upon the tariff question
which were admirably simple and effect
i've. He did not care. he said to present
statistics showing that the condition of
American workingmen is infinitely better
than that of the workingmen of any other
country. 1t was sufficient to note the
fact, he urged. that the gates of Castle
Garden swing inward for the admission
of immigrants from all European nations,
and never outward for the egress of
American laborers seeking more desir-
able land than this That tells the whole
story, and we cannot too often remind
ourselves that such testimony is conclu-
sive as to the superior conditions and OPP
pOrtunities which are here offered to
those who have to work for living. If
men could do as well in free trade coun-
tries they would not come here by mil
lions to found new homes and live under
new form of government. 1t is because
our splendid system of protection has
secured to labor measure of reward and
degree of prosperity never before known
in the world that these people flock to
our shores in such great numbers. With.
out protection To prevent unjust and I'M
fair competition, wages would be no
higher here than they are in England, for
instance, and there would be no induce
ment for foreigners to come here
To insure the permanence Of this re-
markable prosperity we must maintain
the conditions and influences which haye
brought it about No elaborate argu-
ment is needed to establish that proposi-
ton 1t is as plain as the easiest example
in primary arithmetic. Every intelligent
man knows that the more work there is

doing it. is it not clear, then" Gen,

James A. Whitney. a distinguished
lawyer of New York. who has voted the
Democratic ticket with only one break in
twenty-eight years, renounces fealty to
that party and allies himself fully with
the Republicans. Mr.. Whitney is close
friend of Mr.. MARITIME and is associated
with David Dudley Field in the interna-
tional society for the codiflcation of the
laws of nations. He admits regretting
that he has to sever political associations
of life time at the age of 80, but" he
adds. II can't avoid the conviction that
the Democratic party has proved false to
its mission, and is but the empty shell
and semblance of its former self. 1t is
given over to ideas exploded forty years
ago, which are inconsistent with our ma.
tional welfare, with the material interest
Of the people. A man should reverence
his conscience as king in politics. The
first duty of our people is to themselves
The principle has been formulated by
the Republican party and embodied in its
candidates 1t has been repudiated by
the Democratic party through the acts Of
Democratic President and by the resolu-
tons of the Democratic National conven-
ton"
This being his conclusion he follows
the dictates Of his conscience and sense
of duty. Men" he continues, should
range themselves according to their hon
est convictions, not according to immag-
mary bounds. without regard to the wild
claims of party which has forgotten its
mission and forgotten its trust" Mr..
Whitney is one of many Democrats who
think for themselves, and. seeing the
truth, embrace and proclaim it. He says
thousands of Democrats will vote for
the next President, General HARRISON
and the daily roll call of professional men,
manufacturers, operatives in mills and
factories, farmers aud business men, who,
as Democrats, will vote for Harrison and
protection to American interests, confirms
the claim.
The assertions from Cleveland and free
trade are causing dismay in the councils
of the party in power.

And is this Home Rule!

Iowa State Register
How beautifully the Democratic Ad.
ministration has respected the declaration
of its platform regarding the Territorial
offices. Four years ago it had great
deal to say about the injustice of sending
carpet baggers," into the Territories to
fill the offices which by right belonged to
the citizens living there. How has it re,
spected that sentiment? The following
list of Federal officials in Deadwood,
Dakota, gives a fine illustrations:
Judge, United States and District Court,
c. NJ. Thomas, ex-rebel and carpet-bag-
ger Kentucky.
Clerk. United States and District Court,
w. FL. Jones, cxrebel and carpet. Dagger,
Kentucky.
United States Commissioner, w. H.
Jones, eX-rebel and carpet Dagger, Ken
lucky.
Deputy United States Marshal, Felix
Ingram, ex-rebel.
Postmaster, Deadwood, B. P. Smith,
ex.rebel.
A. D. C. to Governor Church, Huger
Wilkinson, ex-rebel
Looks as if Mr.. Cleveland was intend
ing to carry Deadwood for Democracy
and reform if Dakota ever comes into the
Union. 1t must grind the old soldiers,
who have gone to Dakota to make its
prairies bloom like the rose, to have these
carpet baggerS from the solid South sent
up there to hold the offices. No wonder
Mr.. Cleveland wants to keep Dakota out.
1t makes q beautiful asylum for ex- rebel
tramps.

CHEWING DECREASING.
Reasons why Dealers DO Not Sell al
Much "PIua'' as Formerly.

Reasons why Dealers DO Not Sell as
| Much "PIua" as Formerly.
When the elder Charles Dickens was
in this country on his first visit there
was no one of the American habits
which called forth from the great
novelist more condemnation than the
one of chewing tobacco. says the New
York Press. But times change,
National as we'll as personal habits
change with them - America is no
longer a nation of tobacco chewers,
and that manner Of using tobacco is
gradually. but surely, passing away.
Every tobacconist recognizes tho
great change that is taking place in
what in one sense may he termed the
public taste. A tobacco dealer, whose
trade is not almost exclusively among
sailors, say that he does not sell one
half as much chewing tobacco to-day
as he did ten years ago, and not more
than one third as much as twenty years
ago. Said one of them a few days
ago:
THE falling off in tho use of chewing
tobacco is great deal more apparent
here in the east than in the south and
west, but it is noticeable everywhere.
One cause for the decadence of the
habit is undoubtedly due to the growth
of public opinion that it is an unclean-
ly habit 1t is hard also for q man adj
dicted to the habit to keep from show
ing evidences of it on his clothes and
person.
But the principal causes are right
here. There is great deal more dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble now than
there used to be, and no person with q
weak stomach can chew tobacco The
action of the tobacco juice, which
trlckles down the throat OF n chewer is
to paralyze the action of the stomach.
1t will accomplish that long before to-
bacco smoke will leave any perceptible
effect upon the lungs. Then, again, the
cigarette has done II great deal TO put
an end to the chewing habit.
1.-The growth of the cigarette prac-
tice in this country is aud has been
phenomenal. The consumption of
cigarettes has multiplied many times
during the last fifteen years. About
seven out of every ten boys now grow
ing up smoke cigarettes. After Il boy
has smoaked cigarettes for few ears
he has not only no taste for tobacco
in any other form. but he has no
stomach or constitution left 10 stand
chewing tobacco.
The suffering which an invcterate
tobacco chewer endures when he first
deprives himself of his accustomed
weed are popularity supposed to be al
most intolerable. Some ex-chewers
say they are. while others MAINTAIN that
they are nothing which resolute will
and clear head cannot easily master
All agree, however. that they have to
use some substitute at first, be it only
v match or wooden toothpck."

TO Time u Trains Speed.

I'VE must be going forty miles an
hour"
''Oh. no; not more than thirty"
'Thirty?" nonsense! more like ff-
ty."
Something like this is heard every
day on railroad trains, especially among
parties of young people. says a writer
in Golden Days.
Not one person in one hundred who
travel has an idea of the speed of the
train. Even large percentage of the
regular trainmen cannot tell with any
degree of accuracy.
Engineers uso their driving wheel as
a gauge. They know its crcumfer-
ence, and by counting its revolutions
within certain time can tell very ac-
curately the speed at which they are
running.
The favorite method OF timing a train
among passengers is to count telegraph
poles. As rule these are planted
thirty to the mile. but in prairie coun-
ties and places where only a single
wire is used the number dImnishes to
twenty-five to the mile. so that rule
will not always work.
The most accurate method and the
one most in use by exper enced rail-
road men, is to count the number of
joints the train passes over in twenty
seconds. The rails on nearly all of the
roads are thirty feet in length, and the
number passed over in twenty seconds
is the speed per hour the train is run
ming.
For instance, If a passenger can count
thirty clicks on rail joint in twenty
seconds, the train is running at the
speed of thirty miles an hour.
Actually the method falls little
short as the example given above
would be nearer thlrty-one than thirty
miles, but it is near enough for all
practical purposes. -Atta~ta Coostitu-

A fragile little woman, one would

the United States should adopt free
