The existing condition Of affairs in every

US The Nrw York Herald says, 'The spread
of the disease through the persons and
baggage OF those flying from the plague
after having been exposed 10 its infection
Is likely to cause more misery and death
than can be ayerted by opening all doors
TO the refugees" The fate OF 80 many
communities in 1873 is fresh before the
public eye. For instance, as The Chota-
noogn Times tells, that city in August OF
that year threw her doors wide open to
fever refugees from Memphis, where vic
Tins were dyingat the rate Of thirty TO fifty
a day. The icvercame In the person Of Mrs.

ties have strained every legal appliance
and every resource of force and watchiul-

DIR. J. II. RAUCH INTERVIEWER.
IIc Thinks the Quarantine Policy Bay'
bprous-NO HANGER I'm Tennessee.


CANAGo, ILL.,, Sept 2i.--Dr: J. II. Rauch,
secretary OF the State board Of health, ar
rived from Washington yesterday, after hay-
ing attended the conference OF the State
boards OF health in Nashville. He says the
shotgun system OF quarantine prevails most
extensively in Tennessee, and its cruelty and
barbarity is illustrated in the killing of q
man who left train at Durant Ky. DIR.
Rauch approves the course Of the authorities
at Louisville KY, In inviting refugees from
the south. Relative 30 the state Of affairs in
the southern states the doctor said:
From personal observation during the
conference In Nashville and from official 70.
ports received, see no reason 10 change tho
opinion expressed by me week ago, that
there is practically no danger OF yellow fever
in Tennessee, although the developments at
Decatur, Ala, and Jackson, Miss, increase
the possibilities Of IL. So far one death
has occurred in Tennessee at Wildwood
and that was refugee from
Decatur. This was a week ago, and 30 far
no other cases have occurred In that locality.
The death OF a Decatur refugee at Louisville
is the only one that has occurred In Ken
lucky. II il had not been for the Decatur
| outbreak, the true nature of which was Tor
some time doubted, the conference at Nash.
Vile would have agreed upon the southern
boundary OF Tennessee rs the limit north OF
which there was no danger, but owing 10 the
| panic existing la Chattanooga and Memphis,
the northern boundary line Of the State was
adopted. The only real dangoro OF the spread
Of yellow fever now is In the southern p0r-
tions Of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. The dan
ger line is daily moving south aud the most
powerful ally In preventing the spread OF
the disease is the constantly lowering tenn
pcrature. The situation Is not near 30
alarming ~ IL was IN the months OF July
and August In ISIS aud 1879. A chief source
Of concern Is the fact that the shotgun quar-
autine prevails, and In many instances the
regular health authorities are oyerriddon by
the mob. Unfortunately this condition of
things may obtain for some days, even II no
new outbreaks OF fever occur

WAGES md THE TJRIFF-IY.

In previous articles conclusive evidence from
official data has been given for the belief that
wages paid in this country under protection
now average fully 100 per cent higher than
wages paid in the same occupations and foI
the same kinds Of work in Great Britain under
free trade. The question remains, how far
the difference is due TO the tariff. Wages are
and always have been higher in this compar-
atively new country than in older and more
crowded countries, and the Free Trader would
like to have it believed that the difference is
not greater or as great, after twentyseven
years Of protection in this country. as it was in
1860 after fourteen years of revenue tariff.
That wages have gradually advanced in all
countries during the last twenty-five years Of
industrial development is not overlooked. Is
becomes important, first to determine how
great that advance has been, and for that pur-
pose the statistics offered by flee-trade writer's
may be. accepted at present, without any abate-
ment or question. Mr. Schoenhof, the special
agent of the Administration in preparing free
trade statistics abroad compares wages Of
British farm labor for 1861 and 1881 as fol-
lows Average in 1861, 81 Of weekly IN
1881, 81 SO weekly; increase, 50 per cent.
In the same work he compares wages for few
industrial branches, showing a rise from 1860
TO 1883 ranging from l0.1 per cent in iron
manufacture to 37.2 per cent in the cotton
manufacture, but the average Of his figures for
the branches selected is about 20 per cent. A
far more complete and reliable comparison of
earnings of all British labor was made by Pro-
fessor Leone Levi, which is adopted in an
elaborate argument in favor of the British
policy by Mr.. Giffen, president Of the british
Statistical Society. Professor Levi calculates
that the average earnings Of all the workers
in Great Britain increased from 1874 81 in
cent.
But the average wages of agricultural labor,
according to Professor Lewis tables as quoted
by "The London Economist" actually de-
clined. For he reckoned that in 1884 there
were 100000 agricultural laborers. whose
aggregate earnings were t57 900, 900, or
$50 yearly each, while in 1867 there were
2 700 600 workers whose earnings were fSi,-
600, 600, or a little over f3l each. This would
imply an average decrease of about per cent
But THE Economist" states the average earn
ngs yearly at f3l I4s. in 1884 and 132 IS
in 1867, or roughly, Sl73 so yearly against
S16O so, which would give an increase Of
per cent. While the gain is not materially
1fferent from that reported by MIR. Schoenhof,
i may be noticed that. instead Of his average

fact will not prevent Mr.. Cleveland from cleo
tioneering for him. The President is that sort
Of reformer He can support Hill. But
these organs of his which are continually COM
mending Cleveland to their readers as gen.
nine and Jealous champion OF whatever 10 pure
and progressive in politics, they cannot sup
port Hill 1t is as il the stream should en-
deavor to rise higher than its source, as II the
devotee should profess to be more pious than
the saint on whose altar he offers his daily In
cense Certainly there is material in this Sit
uation for opera bouffc.
That Mr.. Cleveland favored the renomina-
tion of Governor Hill was made clear beyond
p peradventure at the Buffalo Convention. ID.
Cady Herrich, an ardent Cleveland man, who
succeeded Daniel Manning as the Albany
representative on the Democratic State Com
mittcc, was put forward as permanent CHAIR
man. Daniel n. Lockwood. a close friend OF
the President, ono Of his appointees, the man
who placed him In nomination at the Demo-
cratic National Convention Of 1884, was Sc
lected to make the speech presenting Hills
name A resolution was adopted to smother
the remonstrance against the Governors re-
nomination, which had been prepared and sent
TO the convention by Democrats Of the highest
standing. and not a single Cleveland delegate
spoke against it, In presenting the report OF
the Committee on Resolutions. the chairman
announced that after reading it he would move
the previous question on its adoption, and not
single Cleveland delegate protested against
the application Of the gag. So, too. Hill was
handsomely supported by the leading Cleve-
land journals in the canvass that preceded his
nomination. "The Albany Argus" which is
owned in part by the Presidents private sec
rotary; THE Syracuse Courier and " The
Utica Observer" both Of which are edited by
Federal oficeholders THE Buffalo Courier"
which was long recognized as Mr.. Cleveland's
home organ, united in eulogizng Hill and in
arguing that he ought to have another term.
It only remains for Mr. Cleveland to do as
well by the Governor as he did by Colonel
Fellows-wrte letter urging his election.
Does any ore believe that if such a letter is
asked for by the Democratic Committee the
President will refuse?
The Buffalo Convention served two good
purposes 1t showed that the Democracy, as
usual, is controlled by its worst elements. 1t
exposed so clearly that he who runs may read
the bogus nature of Mr.. Cleveland's reform
protestations.
