Forty years ago the chief duty Of an editor, in
view Of his limited facilities, was to gather all the
news he could and print it. Intelligence was
transmitted slowly many occurrences Of interest
were never heard of beyond their immediate
locality; ocean mails were long in transit, and the
overthrow of an European dynasty was not known
here until long after the event. Suddenly there
came a change. The railroad and the telegraph
superseded old methods, and the newspaper was
literally flooded with news. The death of a petty
ward politician in San Francisco, the result Of a
Presidential election, the accession Of a sovereign,
the outbreak of a war, and notice that a shanty had
been burdenin Texas, all were hurried overthe wires
into the newspaper Offices, and there being ,.,tS
noidea of discrimination, all were printed. NWNNNI

GARFIELD A PRoTECTioNlST.
The Democratic Charge That He was q
Free Trader Disproved.

The Democratic leaders are driven to des-
perate straghts to defend their ruthless as
saults upon the protective tariff, and in their
wild efforts co Justify themselves they now
assert that some of the most AluStrious
statesmen, among others General Garfield,
were opposed TO protection. General Gar
fields views on this subject were well de-
fined. lie said that one Of the worst fea-
lures in our industrial system IS the irregu-
larity and uncertainty of the legislation in
reference to the tariff" that it was subject
10 too much tiakering and too many sudden
changes such as the Democrats are now try
ing to make. In regard to the example OF
England, which is now held up to this coun-
try by the Democrats General Garfield said:
FOR two hundred years she pursued a
policy that was absolutely prohibitory, then
followed protective period; now she pro-
fesses free trade. When she had built up
her manufactures, and had become able TO
compete successfully with the world, in
matters of commerce, she graciously in
vited all nations 20 drop their protective
policy and become free traders. 1t is Ike
giant or an athlete, who, after months Of
training. asks all the delicate clerks and
students to come out and fight, or run with
him on equal terms"
General Garfield believed, says the Cleve-
land Leader in tariff that would success
fully protect all American industries. Ii
the duties were so high as TO absolutely pro-
hiblt al importation of foreign products,
and allow our manufacturers TO raise prices

Guction. II the duties were so lsyy as to al

What the Muewumps VIII Do.

There has been much speculation as to
the course which the mugwumps would
take in the coming campaign. Some have
believed that, disguised with Mr.. Cleveland's
hypocrisy and failure to keep his pledges,
they would vote for any Republican who
might be nominated. But Mr.. George
William Curtis, the accredited leader of the
free-trade mugwumps, has publicly stated
in an interview that, in his Judgment, Mr..
Cleveland is stronger than any Republican
who can DO nominated, and will be re-elect-
ed. He expects that the mugwumps who
left the Republican party on account of free
trade will vote for the FREQ trade candidate
again as they did four years ago. Probably
Mr.. Cnrtis is speaking with authority as
well as knowledge in the matter.
There is no reason to expect that any
mugwump who left the party because he
wanted free trade will come back to it now.
1t is evident from the attitude of such
papers as the New York Ereniiag Post, Hdr-
per's Weekly and the Springfield Republican,,
that the mugwunps will follow their old
leader whoever the Republican candidate
may be. II is just as well, says the Iowa
STATE Register, for the Republican party to
make up its mind that it has to make the
fight on its merits, and that il must nomi-
nate the strongest candidate it has, and on
a platform that will commend the support
Of every Republican vote without regard to
whether the mugwumps come or go. Il
has it's duty before il and it will receive
quite as many votes by following the path
of duty as il will to delude itself with the
idea that it can call back the free trade
uugwumpS without surrender Of vital
principle.

AN INEVITABLE RESULT.

The Crises in the Affairs of Lsbor-A Ques-
! ton for Working Men to Carefully Con-
slider.
The Democratic free trade Mills Tariff bill
proposes reduction of forty per cent in
the tariff on iron and steel axles. The Mills
bill may never become law, and the dam
ger whish threatens the alternating indus
try may de averted, but until the fate of the
measure is settle the axle manufacturers
are doing business N great doubt and un-
certainty as to the future. Their custom
ers, with the Mills bin also in view, decline
to contract or purchase except at considera-
bly, reduced prices, and tho manufacturers
are unwilling to take the risk of piling up
stock at the present cost Of labor and ma
terials.
In this condition of affairs in anv indus
try what is the logical and inevitable re-
sultf Why, reduction of wages or sus-
pension OF work, of course. In the industry
under consideration the inevitable has al
ready happened. The proprietors Of one of
the largest manufactures of the kind in
Pennsylvania have, says the Cleveland
Leader, notified their employees that owing toa
marked falling of in the demand large re-
duction in wages must be conceded or the
works must close. The same kind of a no
tice has been served in other manufactures
Of iron and wooden goods, and the produc-
ton Of coke, which is a barometrioal index
of the condition Of the iron market, has al
most suspended. A general demand
throughout the country for twenty-five to
fifty per cent. reduction Of wages is only
prevented by the hope of manufacturers
that the Milis bill, or any thing Ike it, can
not be passed. And yet it is true that the
vote in the House on that measure is today
estimated as only two to five majority
against it, while the Republicans have only
majority of two in the Senate.
Whether worldng-men as rule realize it
or not, there is serious crisis existing In
their affairs at this time. The labor mar
ket is a highly sensitive condition, owing
to Democratic attacks upon the high wages
tariff. The Democratic party, which denies
the doctrine that the markets of the coun-
try belong to the labor of the country, is
sparing no efforts to pull down the tariff
barrier that keeps back the flood Of foreign
made goods that seek to fill our markets and
destroy the employment of American work
ing-men- Capital, quick to perceive and
take alright, is already alarmed, and TAX
ing measures for its own protection. The
passage of the Mills bill, or even a general
belief that If would pass, would precipitate
q large reduction of wages all along the line
or suspension of employment A situa-
ton that is menacing indeed confronts the
working-men Of this country. Their only
defense is the ballot-used TO elect a Repub-
hcan President and members of Congress

may not come before the remedy can be aE'-

than it is worth. But, says the Minneapolis
Tribune, when the free-trader believes that
the principal thing to do in order to conquer
the South American markets is to adopt free
trade or tariff for revenue only, he Is Woe
fully mistaken. If he were right in his
views England would be sole mistress in
the South American markets. Commercial
statistics show, however, that she must di-
vide this commerce with many rivals, the
most powerful of which are Germany and
France, where, as is well known, high pro-
tectiye tariffs obtain. The tariff of Germany
is one of the most distinctively protective IN
existence. In that country heavy import
duties are laid even Hpon cereals, provisions
and other s'raw materials" Yet Germany,
since the completion of her present tariff
system, has extended the foreign trade re-
lations and increased the exports Of manu-
featured products more rapidly and success
fully than any other country on the globe.
In South America Germauy's commercial
progress has been astonishing. Within the
past five years she has been able to COM
pete successfully, or TO supersede her rivals
In a commerce which up to that time was
controlled by them.
1t will suffice to cite only few instances
to illustrate the German commercial as
cendancy in South America More than one
half Of the imports into Chill of wooden
goods come from Germany Last year the
German imports of wooden goods into the
province of Rio Grande de Sal, Brazil, were
five times larger than those of England,
and the imports of linen goods twice as
large From Santos aAimilar increase Of
German trade is reported. Even Ger
man cutlery and steel ware competing sue
cessfuny with the English goods. Costa
Rica reports that Germany is fast becom-
ing n competitor in these markets in pro-
ducing wares, if not superior, atleast as
good and as cheap as those of Birmingham"
In seven years Germany has doubled her
trade with Uruguay and Paraguay. Com
mentipg upon the rapid expansion of the.
foreign trade Of Germany the London
Times says: ''On the whole it appears that
the British position in South and Central
America is being seriously threatened by
German competition, not because German
wares are better, but because they are
pushed with more energy, Judgment and
commercial knowledge"
How does this state of affairs comply with
the WORKOUT doctrine of the free traderl
As Great Britain is the only civilized free
trade country Of any Importance it should
leave other countries out of sight in foreign
markets if the free-trader were right. How
is it, then, that England is being distanced
by Germany, a country of high protective
dutiesl Win the free trader please explain
or quit the business of deceiving the peoplea
The simple and obvious explanation of the
remarkable expanse Of the foreign COM
nerce Of Germany at the expense of Great
Britain is that protection protects the labor
and increases the productive power of a
country, and that the doctrine Of free trade
IS humbug in al its rauifications.

on many dinner tables. The shape is the
same the handle is almost Identical, but in
stead of a spout al the other end OF the boat
there is q small hole for the wick, while at
the top; instead Of a cover, there is another
hole through which an ell is poured. How
ever this type is by no means universal, and
many lamps even having this form have
more than one hole for the wholesome, IN
deed boasting from two to twelve weeks. The
wick was nothing but a twisted rag, and, in
order TO keep the lamp burning, almost con-
slant attention was necessary. The lamp was
trimmed with an iron instrument somewhat
resembling a boat-hook, the curved hook
being used for the purpose of pulling up the
wick, and the straight point for adjusting
and striking OF the burned portion.
In the South OF Europe oil was commonly
burned frequently made of olives, though
fish and animal oils were by no means IN
known In the North of Europe, in En-
gland and the Scandinavian peninsula, the
limpid oils of the South could not be en-
ployed, because they would be CONCEALED
by the cold. The most common form of
lamp in Great Britain during the early
middle ages was that Of the ordinary stone
pot, either round or square, from the side
of which hung a wick Of twisted cord, or
piece Of rope, necessarily furnishing light
which had many disadvantages aside from
, the smoke and extremely unpleasant doors
Attending it. However uniform the lamps
may be, however, the same can not be said
of the stands which hold the lamps, for
among the many beautiful works of art ex-
cavated in Herculaneum and Pompeii none
are more exquisite than the candelabra.
The museums Of Naples, Rome and Flor
ence contain many hundreds of patterns of
candelabra intended to hold from one to
dozen lamps. Some are plain, others are
ornamented in the highest style Of ancient
art, and composed Of every material known
to the metal and stone-worker. They have
been found of marble, granite, bronze,
gold, silver, ivory, onyx and other valuable
materials, and the labor expended on some
portions of their construction seems almost
incredible.
a five-lamp stand from Herculaneum Is
shown in the Naples Museum. The plat
form of this candelabrum rests upon three
lions feet, while the stem is tree, the
knots being initiated very cleverly. Five
branches spring out at different heights,
and from each branch is pendant lamp.

Against Partisan Prohibition.

The General Assembly of the United
Presbyterian church, which has recently
been in session II Cedar Rapids, expressed
itself positively against a third party pro-
hibition. Ii took strong ground in favor Of
the principle Of prohibition, but positively
refused TO advocate separate political ac-
ton. knowing that il was unwise, futile
aad an injury in the end The friends Of
this disguised Democratic movement have
been strenuously endeavoring TO commit
every religious organization 10 the third
plan, but, so far, they have met with very
poor success. In the New York general
conference of the Methodist church the
same sttenp. was made and signally failed.
The general conference went on record in
favor of the principle Of prohibition, but it
refused 10 indorse separate political action,
believing that prohibitionists can accom-
plish more by working through the old par
ties than they can BY supporting a new
one. The partisan prohi bitionis;s, says the
Iowa State Register. are lot making much
headway in the representative meetings Of
the churches.

The Third Party Platform.

The platform of the third party Prohib,-
tionists, adopted by tho Indianapolis con
vention, is recognition Of the justice Of
the claim Of the older parties that there are
other questions besides prohibition before
the country. There is probably as mach
principle In this platform as there was in
the platform Of 1854, With more concessions
TO policy, -Four years ago the prohibition
leaders scoffed at those who regarded
economic and financial Questions Of any inn
portance whatever, and at every public
meeting addressed by third party orators
since that time the tariff has been held up
to ridicule and made the subject Of jokes.
And yet, says the Chicago Inter OCEAN, In
the Indianapolis platform the tariff, the in
ternS1 revenue and the money question are
even given as much space as the woman
suffrage question Does this mean that the
third party IS gravitating toward the policy
lines of the old parties?
The uncompromising, fat-footed DECLARE
tons Of the Indianapolis platform are:
In favor Of absolute prohibition; against
licensing or regulating the liquor traffic; in
favor Of the abolition of the internal reye-
nue. system; against polygamy, against
trusts or combinations of capital TO control
and 10 increase the cost of products, and II
favor OF restricting immigration.
The plank on woman suffrage Is CON-
promise or stra6dle on the Dsia question,
with an educational restrictive CLAUSE as TO
the general principle Of suffrage, and the
declaration on the tariff as a. first adopted
was uEsdultera.ed free tradeisn, and as
amended declares IN favor Of both free
trade and protection. The resolution was
thrown in simply TO catch votes, and, as .
bit Of jugelery, would do credit 10 q Demo
cratic convention distrusttul Of its own cen
st1taency.
There IS nowhere in the platform re-
spectful reference 20 the soldiers who
fought the battles OF the Union, 10 recog-
Eition whatever Of their existence or Of
their services, 10 condemnation Of election
frauds practiced by the party IN power, no
expression OF sympathy for the freedmes,
and no weird OF ecl4ent On the policy Of

1t Is Used by FREQ Traders to Prove That
the Tariff Operates a Bar TO Our For
eign Trade.
One of the stock arguments Of the FREQ
traders is that the present tariff operates
as bar on American foreign trade, restrict
ing exports because imports are restricted,
and rendering American competition IN for
eIgn markets difficult, or even impossible
because the American manufacturer has
not free access TO his raw materials. The
South American trade is pointed TO as the
most convincing proof OF the truth of this
proposition. This trade, exceeding SEQ, 0oo,-
900 annually, IS now practically controlled
by Europe, whereas it naturally belongs to
the United States. Do away with pTotec-
ton and adopt free trade and this profta-
bic commerce viii be ours, says the free
trader.
On the face Of it this argument looks
plausible. Most thinking men are ready TO
admit that we should make efforts to secure
pur natural quota of the South American
trade if to conquer it does not cost more
