A Mr.. Smith, a section boss, of La Sale,
sent daughter to Chicago several weeks
ago, to attend school at the North Market
st. Convent. She, however, was iured into}
low dive on South Clark St., kept by a.
disreputable woman named Lawler, who al
50 has rooms to rent on the second floor Of
her GROCERY. While in this hole, she met
a hack driver named MCGOWAN, with whom
she spent the night in room at the Arcade
House, on West Madison. On Monday, an
officer passing the saloon, saw the girl site
ting inside, and thinking respectable look
ing girl would have no business in place Of
that character, took her to the station house,
where she told her tale. Mrs. LAWYER was
fined $75 and MCGOWAN 1856 for disorderly
conduct. The place is frequented BY hack
drivers, who room overhead, and lure ooun.
try girls into the place to their lasting dis
grace.

out was too subservient to the rinkertons
IL THIS DESCENT?

In his multitudinous little speeches to
delegations gotten up "regardless of ex.
pence" to visit and stiffen up the back bone
of the republican presidential candidate at
indianapolis, he almost daily repeats-as
he did TO delegation from Iroquois
county, Ill.,, on Wednesday-stuff like the
following
In previous campaigns we have not quite
known where our adversaries stood Now
we do know. Our democratic friends say
that protective tariff is robbery. You see
this written at the head of campaign tracts
circulated by their committees. You hear
II said In the public speeches of their
leaders You haye not once, l think, In
the campaign, heard any democratic
speaker admit that even low protective
tariff was desirable.
Now, while We know very we'll that this
sort of talk Is the constant and almost only
available stock In trade of the lower grade
republican newspaper scribblers and stump
howlers, II is nevertheless known to and
admitted by every man laying claim to
common intelligence and decency, tina,
there is not word of truth In it-thst, In
plain English, II Is mean, low, dirty LIE
II is the more disgraceful to Gen. Har'
risop because he hnO,os 1t Is lie. Neither
President Cleveland, the St. Louis plat,
form, or any democratic campaign tract
ever said protection is robbery They
have said, and say all the time, " unneces-
sary taxation is robbery" but the principle
Of protection is distinctly endorced and
defended In President Cleveland letter OF
acceptance, and is the foundation stone OF
the Mills bill 1t removes much unnec'
essary and harmful taxation from raw
materials In aid of our manufacturers and
duties on other imports that are wholly
unnecessary for protection, but in no case
takes off protective duties where honestly
needed.
We know it sounds rough to tell Gen.
Harrison he lies, but when he says not
only that the democrats call protection
robbery, but deny that " even low pro-
tective tariff is desirable" he is palpably
uttering what he knows is not true, and a
thing said in that way honest Anglo Saxon
always calls lie.

Mr.. Nattinger's Times says some "Wis.
consin fool" offers to bet that no three
judges in Wisconsin, all republicans, will
say Cleveland's message or the Mills bill
are "free trade" documents. The Times
"fooi" says no one "need look outside the
documents :" the President and the Mills
bill advocate free wool, free flax and hemp,
tree wood, &c. Doesn't that mean free
trade? asks this astute economist. No
body but fool believes 1t is or would be.
1t is not so considered by Germany, France,
Russia, Austria, Italy, Spain, all protection
countries, but all of which admit all rap
materials FREE. 1t has been left for the
protection fool of America alone to commit
such an objectionable commercial blunder,
as the taxing grows materials.

The engineer of the c., B. y Q. switch

other, or totally demoralised on Wednesday.
evening, for his manner Of handling cars
was hasty and singularly eccentric in the
extreme. He was sent down into the yards
of the Pioneer Fireproof Construction Co.'S
works, to place two cars on the east Of fac
tory A. He started down the hill at
twenty mile an hour rate. and instead OF
slowing up when he got to the bottom, as he
should have done, ran at the same speed in
the yards, sending half his train Oft the
track. A heavy car struck one Of the tall
smoke stacks, totally demolishing it, and
continuing in its course ruined two large
tile kilns. The stack and kilns cannot be-
repaired and will require rebuilding. The
damages were at least $1,000.

Oh, come off you can't stuff that down

they do get $3.50 day; that is only 5000

supposed in law to be worth $1,000. A
dollar and half day is but little over
8 per cent on the Investment, If the man
has good health and never misses a day

facturer gets that per cent and big
share of the AZ added to 1t. Is that fair to
the laborer9 But suppose you run down

Ottawa street laborers, who are skilled

We are not able 10 compare the low tariff
year, 1855, with the blessed high tariff year
1888, because the Almanac does not give us
the figures; but II gives those of 1886, with
which those Of 1888 can very little differ,

partial, non'partisan publication, the years
all must admit are fair, the articles are not
selected to give the best effect, but all are
taken as given In the Almanac except bar
iron and cotton, with which our farmers
have nothing to do and which would have
made no difference In the result; while the
years taken by the Tribune are conspic>
uously unfair. and Its articles are carefully
selected with view to deceptive effect.
The Inter ocean, much as II hates the
Tribune, becomes party to this fraud by
transferring the article bodily to Its own
columns, adding with a chuckle, "Well,
you don't want to talk TO farmer Brown
about democratic free trade being better
for him and his family then republican
tariff, with such figures before him."
Well, all we have to say to farmer Brown
or any other farmer Is that If he will allow
himself to be bamboozled by such figures,
and Is content to be robbed right and left

John Phillips, of Pittsburg, formerly of
Ottawa, who represented the American
window glass workers at a federation In
Brussels few weeks ago, arrived at New
York on Tuesday. While in Europe Mr..
Phillips visited France and England to

by the Introduction of free trade ss In
England, or excessive tariff taxation, as In
France, Belgium and Germany, to bring
down the condition of American labor and
wages to the low grade In these countries
particularly the latter two. Now this
would be to propagate tlimsy, shallow
lie-a very low, dirty business for an hon.
cradle man, a. We take Mr. Phillips to be
to engage in. No party or man opposed
to Harrison proposes or dreams of intro
ducing English free trade, or German

system undisturbed, meaning only to lop
off here and there few obvious excuses
and TO take off the tax on raw materials In
cases where II can DO done in the interest
and for the benefit Of our own industries
and workingmen. Bear this In mind. Mr.
Phillips, and If you must take the stump

"The democratic party" says Mr.. Car
Isle on Wednesday, "does not advocate free
trade. II recognizes the right Of the gov.
eminent to raise money for the purpose Of
defrsying Its expenses and meeting Its
obligations, and We believe this money
should be raised by loving duties on im>

The republican quilldrivers and stump
howlers know this, and seeing the ground
swell among the farmers of Illinois, Wis

extortion, are quaking with fear least the
whole farmer vote may desert them.
To avert such disaster they make II an
especial and constant business to ply the

One of the ludicrous economical absurd-
tiles In which Gen. Harrison INDUCES In
his little letter of acceptance, and which,
through stupidity or sheer demagogism, he
is constantly repeating, is the one that "the
import duty upon foreign goods sold in our
market, is paid by the foreign production"
In the same letter of acceptance he says:
1--WE believe it to be one of the worthy
objects of tariff legislation to preserve the
American market for American products. y
Now this hangs the General on this queer
dilemma: He insists that this country is
just now In that happy condition that the
over two hundred millions of dollars paid
annually into the national treasury as tar

he would put stop to all that-shut out

only, and make our own people pay those
two hundred million annual taxes! Was
there ever more magnificent economic
asiIinity!

The reason that the projected Interests
wax fat at the expense of agriculturies
because agriculture has got home market
for most of Its stuff-but at foreign
price; while the protected Interests have
got both home market and home price,
and that price Is just what greed and com.
bination choose 10 make It, up ia the limit
of At per cent protectian against foreign

At the same time with money thus real-
lied, he made the following purchases:

Leaving $50 with which to pay farm
hands, &c.
In June, 1888, the farmer sold precisely
the same articles In Chicago for $457.70
and made precisely the same purchases for
$3.50, leaving 1868 20 with which to pay
farm hands, &c.,-$2S62O better off In
1888 than he was In 1858 In the same trans
action.
The point the 7ibune would exc out Is,
that 1853 was year of low tariff, while In
1888 we are living under our glorious old
war tariff of 1869.
But see how deceptive and villainous
this is. The year Of slow tariff selected is
1858, when the country was In the throes
Of severe money panic, when paper money
was 30 shakey that farmers refused to sell
their produce except for gold, though they
could buy at the Chicago, stores for paper
money. making change with postage
stamps. as silver had entirely disappeared.
1t was the lowest year for farm produce
the country has seen 10 forty years, while
the Chicago merchants, being obliged TO
DO most Of their business In doubtful paper
money like Georgia wildcat and Illinois
"stumptsil," charged nearly double price
for all they sold. Don't our farmers re-
member thisG The 7'ribuue assumes they
are 30 forgetful or poorly informed that
they know nothing about 1t.
To further illustrate the villainy of this
Tribune statement let US make similar
comparison, one that Ia based on irrefrag-
able figures and for which we challenge
the most rigid scrutiny. We will take the
year 1874, when the country had fully re-
covered from the great panic of 1887 40,
was exceptionally prosperous and was In
the height Of Its enjoyment Of the benefits
of the high tariff Of 1S42-the highest tar
