II was not our intention 10 refer, at
present, to the matter Of the division Of
Custer county, as urged by the super
fetal correspondent Of the Pilot, regard
ing it as We DO as being a proceeding
which at this crude period in our
history is wholly unwarrantcd, and
which would be productive Of the most
direful results, especially in the section
which would be embraced in the pro
posed new county. II in the future the
matter should assume an earnest aspect,
and the question should take the form
OF pending issue, the CHRONICLE will
undertake its discussion. We append
the following sensible article, taken
from the Rapid Journal, which will
serve to reflect the tenor of our views
upon the subject, until in the remote
future, when more united expression
on the part of the people on the eastern
borders of the county may prompt
further expression from us, which in
the mean time, by change in the situa-
tion may be more favorable to the OBJ
jcct in view
A correspondent of the Hermosa
Pilot in communication to that paper
tavOrs "A division Of Custer county TO cut
Oft the agricultural from the mineral
portion. Pennington county has had
the experience of an attempt of the kind
which failed. Glad indeed are the peo-
pie who then wished to divide that
their attempt did fail. This was years
ago, however, and there may be better
reason for the division of Custer county
to-day than existed at that time for
division of Pennington And vet we
very much boubt the advisability of any
such division. Lawrence is much the
largest county of the three. The people
of the valleys have long labored TO be
set apart from those ofthe mountains in
a county of their own. They have even
acted under a law passed to enable them
to segregate. They have as far as DOS
slble, fulfilled the requirements of that
law, and yet have not accomplished
their object. The eastern portion of
Lawrence county would be able to sus-
tain a county government of its own.
The eastern portion of Custer county
would find that to sustain seperate
county government at present would be
exceedingly burdensome. But division
naturally suggests itself as the proper
remedy to people who imagine their
taxes are too high, or their roads in
their part of the county are not properly
attended to, or that their own inl-
portance in large county is not proper
ly appreciated or acknowledged. Divis-
ion is not by any means the cure for all
the ills to which the taxpayer is heir
though it may so appear 1t is a remedy
to be applied much the same as ampnta'
tion where the patient is human being
instead of a county-only after all other
remedies have failed"

The Tax Question

Much Of our space in the present issue
is unfortunately devoted to the question
of taxation, or rather the question of the
prompt collection of taxes and it is TO
be regretted, in view of the adverse in
ituences which might result from its
publicity, that any discussion Of the
question should have appeared in the
papers of the county, which under the
most favorable results, will serve as a
doubtful advertisement for Custer coun-
ty; and il il only with a view Of correct
ing certain erroneous impressions,
which have already obtained to consid
cradle extent, from the publication of
communications from residents of the
eastern portion Of the county in one Of
our county papers, that the CHRONICLE
gives SO much of its space to the subject
in the present issue.
1t would seem by reference to the
statements made by the county treasurer
in his communications appearing in this
issue, all OF which, SO far as they refer to
the question at issue, are verified by the
records Of his Office that there has been
less grounds for complaint in the section
most disturbed over the enforced col
lection Of taxes than the circumstances
would warrant. The statements would
rather tend to indicate q leniency on
the part Of the treasurer which was
reprehensible, than a disposition to in
tiict hardship upon delinquent tax
payers. The statements further show,
that IA very large proportion of the tax
Of which they claim IS SO outrageously
cxorbitant is self imposed, by school
levy in certain districts of three per
cent, levied by themselves, and which
along with their quota Of the county
school, and poll funds, aggregating at
least one half of their total tax is re-
turned to them.
1t is fact, which careful study of the
subject will fully confirm, that Custer
county, in financial point of view,
compares favorably with the counties of
the Hills and that with her tiattering
outlook for increased railroad communi-
cation, and extensive mining operations,
the inducements here offered TO settlers
are cqualled 10y no other county in the
Hills, or the territory of Dakota.

Ralph Kenyon, well known to our
local readers, who few weeks since
left this place for Cairo, Illinois, on a
business mission is thus referred TO in
the Cairo Telegram of recent date:
Ralph Kenyon, an old resident OF
Cairo, who left here in 1876, and went
to the Black Hills, arrived here few
days ago, TO look after some property he

try, and the first specimens of the min

Wooden Wedding.

The residence Of Mr.. and Mrs. +. O.
Burton Of this city was the scene Of a
social gathering Of highly enjoyable
character on Tuesday evening The
friends of Mr. and Mrs. b. successfully
planned a very pleasant surprise for the
occasion, it being the fifth anniversary
of their marriage; which by adroit man
agement on the part of the projectors,
not even a suspicion of their intentions
was entertained by Mr.. and Mrs, b.,
until all of the varied presents, princi-
pally of wood, had been deposited in
the reception room, and the donors
had there assembled. The surprise was
complete, and the wooden gifts which
were both ornamental and useful were
not only duly appreciated for the pur-
pose Of utility, but far more highly as
testimonials of friendly regard. Mrs
Burton, whose surprising vocal talent
has long since become proverbial in the
Hills, favored the guests with "A number
of choice selections which were highly
enjoyed and fully appreciated. a rare

which was discussed at length, after
which the party dispersed, heartily

An Object Lesson.

The Pail Mall Gazette of July 20 con-
tains the following:
"a RISE IN THE PRICE OF TIN.-The
passing by the United States house of

has led to sharp rise in the price of tin.
Yesterday Straits touched $50 rs. Cd.

an advance of from Ella to e15 on tho
figures quoted recently. If tho senate
passes the bill in its present form, tin
will command higher prices than have
ruled of late, and a great impetus will be
given TO an important branch of manu-
facture in this country"

WAGES STEADILY INCREASING.
The Result of Thirty Years of Protection.
A Home Market.

The Result of Thirty Years of Protection.
A Home Market.
In illustration of the advances made in
this country under a protective tariff we
said on Saturday that the gross value of
manufactures increased, from 1850 to
1880, 300 per cent. while population in
creased only 116 per cent. and the farm
acreage 20 per cent. The figures were too
small; the net value Of the products of
manufacture increased over 800 per cent,
the gross value showing gain of 427 per
cent. But as the value increased-al-
though the prices of products have low
ered-the wages of the workers have gone
up. Although the prices of manufactured
articles are lower, so that you can buy
handsaw or set of dishes much cheaper
than you could thirty years ago, wages
have gone up in the meantime, because
the tariff has enabled us to make so many
articles, having command of large home
market, that the returns have been large.
In the thirty years between 1850 and
1880 we find that the amount of wages
paid has gone up over 300 per cent, while
the number of hands employed has in
creased only 1876 per cent. This means
that the average wages are nearly 90 per
cent. higher now than they were thirty
years ago This increase, remember, has
been right in the face of some of the
most discouraging conditions possible.
During those years we have had the
greatest immigration known in the worlds
history Such an influx of labor, by it.
self, would undoubtedly tend to lower
wages. The amount of work to be done
remaining the same, and the prices OBJ
tanned for the product of the work not
rising, an increase in the number of
workers is bound to bring down
the share of each. But q protec-
tive tariff has made it possible that the
amount of work should be increased more
rapidly than the number of work
ers, even while the prices obtained for the
product were falling; and so the share of
each worker has been decidedly increased,
instead of being diminished, as it must
have been under any tariff that did not en-
courage the starting of new industries
and the continuance of those already
started In 1850 about one million
factory laborers earned nearly $685.
600 000-about $2i0 apiece. In 1880
there were not quite two and three-quar-
ter millions of laborers in manufactures,
and they were paid in wages nearly $780,
100000, or about $3.50 piece. This re-
markable fact of the wages and the out
put increasing together, while the prices
of the products of the factories were de-
creasing, it is worth thinking about.
without tariff, and pretty high tariff,
new industries certainly could not have
started; and without the securing Of the
home market by continuance Of that TIA
riff, certainly our manufacturers could
not have afforded to raise the wages Of
their employees instead of lowering them
to the European standard. -New York

Downed an A narchist Flag.

CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 4.-Labor day was
observed by an unusually large number of
workingmen's organizations, about 800 peo-
pie being in the parade. An association Of
Anarchists, which has bsen in existence for
some years, joined the parade, and were per-
mitted to march in the rear of tho process
sion, carrying a large red flag, much
to the disgust of the workingmen. When they
arrived at the garden where the picnic was
to be held, the Anarchists attempted TO hoist
their colors on a pole over the American
flag. The Painters and Bakers unions pro-
tested vigorously and small riot ensued,
six of the Anarchists being very roughly
handled. The police arrived in time to save
their lives, but they were promptly jailed on
n charge of rioting. o..

HARMONY In Indiana.

A newspaper special from Indianap-
oils on the 18th, if to be relied upon.
settles the question of the Republican
nomination for the presidency. 1t states
that the Indiana delegation will go to
Gresham after few ballots il they see
that Gen. Harrison cannot be nominated
Ii that program is carried out, Judge
Gresham will be nominated. There is
no more likelihood of Gen. Harrison
being nominated than there is Of his
being made King of Bulgaria. If the
Indiana delegation keep their temper,
and do not make any trades, the
probability is strong that Gresham will
receive the nomination.
A meeting of the Indiana delegates
was held at the Hoosier capital on the
18th. Among other business an in.
formal discussion of the presidential
situation was entered into. OF course
the sentiment was Harrisonian, but
there was no "die-in-the-ditch about
it The dispatch referred to contains
the following which represents the
feeling in Indiana as it should be:
The Indiana delegation will 90 to
Chicago with the intention of doing all
in their power to nominate Harrison.
but they see that this cannot be done.
They will not throw straw in the way
OF Gresham. On the other hand, the
delegation will vote as one man for
Gresham when they see that the trend is
for him. There will be no wran-le.
1t is settled now that the Indiana dele
CATION will act sensibly and harmonious

from other States is not heard here.
