floor and tells me that this high, this extra
ordinarily high, tariff is for the protection
of the laburng men, tell him that / do
not understand holc lie can possibly substan-
ttate such Meory-John a, Logan, april
-, 1870.
There is no meaner lie, among all the
many, many lies the Blaine Harrison party
is telling during this campaign, than that
the tariff, per Sc, makes high wages. Tab
ulating the arguments of the no'tariff.re-
form party on the wages question, the
working man is confronted with the fol-
lowing claims:
The monopoly takers tell us that
High Tariff Makes WAGES pT,sss f aish
at one and the same time, thus compelling
the manufacturers
10 To Take in Less Money
than they would without the high tariff
And they also tell US that the manufactur
ers will all be ruined unless this same high

Is maintained. This is what James G..
Blaine and Ben Harrison, and all the rest
of the monopoly takers ask the people to
believe.
Is 1t possible there is a sane man, woman
or child in the country who cannot see the
utter absurdity of this situation? Cannot
the workingman see that his employer can
not burn his candle at both ends and yet
increase the size of his candle? In other
words, no sane man can expect the expen>
ses of his business to increase and his
receipts to decrease and yet escape bank
ruptcy. 1t is contrary to common sense
and every day experience.
Is 1t in any way mystery that wages in
America are high? granting that they are
high, which is not true In many industries
Is there any secret of the cause? The
country is new; its soil is fertile; the land
is still cheap; and its resources of coal, oil
and ether minerals have scarcely been
touched. Therefore, given amount of
labor in America will yield larger return
than In almost any othe. country. Besides,
the expenses of the army and the govern
ment are much less In America than in

CHANGE HIS TACK.

In about dozen of his little speeches to
squads Of visitors to the Republican Mecca
at Indianapolis, Gen. Harrison insisted that
there was no need of tariff reduction to get
rid of the surplus, as II ought to be used in
purchasing government bonds. When II
was shown, however, that the purchase of
but 100000, 900 of those bonds In the mar
ket during the last six months had sent
them up from 26 to 30 per cent, and that II
the Secretary of the Treasury went into the
market with $4,000, 900 more the bonds
would probably go up to so or rs per cent
premium, Gen. Harrison changed his
tack, and in his later little speeches says the
surplus ought to be used In refunding to
the States the direct tax they paid during
the war.
The direct tax levied on the States dur
ing the war amounted to some $30,000,000,
of which the loyal States paid sec, 900, 900
and those In rebellion of course nothing.
Tue $50, 000, 900, because paid by the North
only, Gen. Harrison thinks ought 10 be re'
funded.
But If the principle that the tax should
be refunded because paid by the North
only holds good, what about the S40C 900, :
600 or Whereabouts of custom house taxes
that the North also paid during the war and
the $400, 100000 more of internal revenue
taxes? Not dollar of these $S00,00O,00O
was paid by the States in rebellion. Gen.
Harrison only shows his own weakness and
that of his cause by resorting to these mis-
cradle shifts to dodge plain, common
sense duty, to which even his own party
stood pledged for twenty years. to stop the
accumulation of an unnecessary and DAN
gerous surplus by iudicious reduction of
taxation.

And a few minor aIticles-the total of
all being $725, 1873 263,
Now il is law of trade, as fixed and i'm.
mutable as that by which the sun rises and
sets, that no great nation can continuously
export more products than II imports.
Should the L. s., for example, continue for
two years In succession to export 100000,
600 worth of its products and import but
800 1000 900 a year-the amount to which
the Republican party would limit us-the
gold necessary to liquidate the balance of
trade In our favor would clean out every
bank in Europe, causing universal bank
ruptcy and distress there, while such an ex.
traordinary and unnatural addition to our
own stock of coin would be scarcely less
ruinous here.
As result, Europe-and all the world
besides-must at once cease purchasing
from the U. s., except to the amount OF
$l0O0OO0 900 year, which England would
probably take In cotton until she could
force Its production In sufficient quantity In
Egypt and India, as she did In 1862 IS.
And the entire agricultural surplus of the
U. s, including 1921 900, 900 cotton, $780,
100000 breadstuffs and provisions, &c..
100000 animals, &c, &C, In all about
$1,000 900 year, must lie on our hands
and rot, or we must cease to produce them.
In the latter case, which of course would
be the unavoidable and inevitable one, this
would be the result: Our entire agricul-
tural production In 1870, according to the
last census, was $22l3 400 564, of which
We exported $546,476,703. Though the
figures In 1883 are doubtless greatly
changed, relatively they must remain about
the same) To cut off this surplus, for
which there would no longer be foreign
market, would involve the abandonment.

words, the depreciation in value to the ex

and as the value of this In 1880 was 80
l97096, 77G, the loss to our farmers, at one
fell stroke, would be S2,5O0,OOO, OOO-two
thousand five hundred millions of dollars
In 1880 there were 7,070,493 persons in
this country engaged In farming. OF these
100000 were engaged in supplying the
surplus for export. These of course would
at once be thrown out of work.

ical Engines-How They
Put Out Fires,

Desiring to learn all about the chemical
engines, TRIBUNE reporter sought Mr.,
Alng and Piled him with sundry cues
tions on the subject
Are the chemical engines much in
use" he enquired.
! chemical engines" he said, are com
ing into use largely in all first-class fire
departments. The great advantage in
their use is promptness. They get to
work quickly. There is no delay in at
taching them to the hydrant Or in laying
4oo or 500 feet of heavy hose. Nor is
there any delay in getting up steam. One
man can ascend to the fifth or sixth story
| OF building with the hose ready to 90 to
work"
rs there continuous stream?"
Yes. The style ofbullding intLe chem
lcal engines adapts them to a continuous
stream for an indefinite time. As soon
as one tank or reservoir is discharged the
second one can be turned on and the 9th
er replemshed. Each engine carries 200
teet OF hose. Two streams can be played
from these engines at one time.n
what are the general advantages of
the engines?"
"fhey are simple. The chemical en-
gine dispenses with complex machinery.
experienced engineers, reservoirs and
steam. Carbenic acid gas is both the
working and extinguishing agent. AsI
said, it is always ready. The chemicals
are Kept in place and the gas is generated
the instant 1t is wanted. In most cases
this gain in time saves the building. Five
minutes at the right time is worth five
hours little later, Bulk for bulk car
bonic acid is 40 times as effective as wa
ter. The 70 gallons of the two smallest
cylinders are equal to 1880 gallons of
water'' ...'
"Can the engine be easily handled?"
"F'ive or six men can draw and manage
it. Its small dimensions require but a
small area for either work or storage.
One hundred feet or more of its light
plant hose can be carried on a mans
arm up any number of stairs inside
building or, if fire forbids, up ladder
outside. Moreover, the gas does not dam
age goods. The gas smothers, but does
not deluge." n
"How as to cost?"
"rhe engine costs only about half as
much as a first-class hand engine and
about one-fourth as much as a steam en-
gine with their necessary appendages.
The chemicals for each charge cost less
than two dollars"
