employees. The resolution. however. was laid
on the table. The vote for officers then

The Bad Devices of the Democratic
Tariff Bill

The Bulletin of the American Iron and
Steel Association issued last week, has the
following to say about the Mills tariff bill :
1T embodes the widest departure from
our protective policy and the closest approx
mation to free trade that has ever been for
mally presented for the consideration of the
American people. 1t will greatly please the
manufacturers of Great Britain. 1t might
indeed, be styled bill for the relief of the
manufacturing industries of that country.
The admirable arrangement of the present
tariff by schedules is wholly ignored, and in
stead we are given hodge-podge or stiff
about. Adj valorem duties, which can easily
be cvaded in part through under Valuations
find their proper place in bill which is
framed to help foreigners at the expense of
our own people. The tariffs of 1916 and
1857 were ad vaorem tariffs entirely, and we
know the results"
\ fier pointing out large number of de-
fects, The Bulletin" continues:
This bill is fraud. The duty
on coal and iron ore is maintained at the old
rate, while duties on finished iron and steel
products, in the manufacture of which coal
aud iron ore are essential are greatly reduced.
1t is fraud also in the pretence that it will
greatly reduce the revenues. This is a heart
less bill. Numerous small industries, as
we'll as large ones, would suffer serious in ury
if it should become a law, while others would
be literally DESTROYED. This Eng
fish bill must be defeated Farmers manu-
facturers, workingmen and all patriotic citi-
zcns must protest against it-earnestly, vigor-
ously, The country should be aroused at
once 10 the danger that confronts it"

Will the Associated Press chief man
ayers have mercy on the American people,
The European cablegram giving the dis
gushing details Of brutal fight between
two beasts In human forms is an outrage
on common deceney. As well might the
filthy particulars of the London slums be
used to pollute the ocean wires, whose
wondrous electric powers God gave to
mankind for other purposes. Prize fight
atrocities crafty and stimulate the lower
and coarser instincts of human nature.
Long has it been said by English aud
American moralists that bull-fghts are
shame to Spanish nationalities, and are
an evidence of their retrograde aud semi
barbarous condition. This is so obviously
true. that the best citizens Of spain
strongly wish to get rid of the bloody
struggles of Infatuated beasts. But two
brutes in human form pounding each
other to death make an exhibition Of
savagery more degrading, more shocking
to human feelings, TO good taste and
common decency. than the bloody com
bat Of trained animals. Until the Eng
li-h and American public can be strong
enough in its self-re.pect, in its regard
for law. aud for whatever IL elevating in
civilization, to put its ban on the prize
fight of human dogs. it better keep silent
about the brutal spectacles in Spain and
other Latin countries. If We are return
ing to barbarism and vulgar bestiality,
let us hesitate yet TO confess it, and not
be in haste to prostitute the telegraph, the
printing press, the street walks with the
filthy descriptions and artistic danbs which
symbolic a degradation lower than amin
can go. Surely the agents Of the asso-
ciated press owe something 10 the public
welfare. and should have some respect foi
the principles and graces Of christian
/ civilization.

The New York sun, after having proved
by copous citations from Secretary Bay
ards CORES pOndence that he had abap-
doned the American case when he nego-
tiated the Fisheries Treaty goes on in the
next issue to prove from the columns of
Administration journals that there has
been very significant change of opinion
respecting that unfortunate convention.
Newspapers which at first hailed Mr..
Chamberlain's masterpiece as triumph
of American diplomacy, have either con-
fessed their judgment, or ''are fioundering
about in the outskirts of the main ques-
ton. The Suns explanation of this
change of opinion is this:
The first enthusiastic approval of the treaty
on the part of our contemporaries was not
based upon an adequate examination of the
document itself, but on the results as de-
scribed in the accompanying message. Mr..
Cleveland's statement of results, in its turn,
was not based upon the treaty itself, for his
message conspicuously and unaccountably
msre presented the terms of the agreement. He
must have derived his information from Sec
Rotary Bayard, and Secretary Bayard, in his
turn had in mind what he had hoped to ac-
complish, rather than what had actually been
agreed upon by the ncgotiators. There has
been a misunderstanding all around, but 1t is
rapidly correcting itself.

The movement for a creamery or butter
factory in this city. appears to be meeting
with much favor among our farmers and
business men. 1t formed subject for dis
cusson at the meeting of Capital Grange
on Saturday evening last, and every men,
Der who spoke upon it was in favor Of the
scheme. Many farmers were present who
are interested in furnishing milk to the
city, and all spoke in favor of it,
and said the creamery would In
no case interfere with the
supply of pure milk for city use. We
learn that Mr.. 4. l.. Bradford the well
known superintendent of the Turner
Centre creamery is interested in this plan,
and proposes to build and equip a cream
cry here this spring, provided farmers
will agree to sell his cream. For the
purpose of ascertaining how many farmers
are interested in the subject, and to see
how many will agree to furnish cows for
this purpose, meeting will be held at
the hall of Capital Grange-Grand Army
Hall--on Friday afternoon of this week,
March l6, at o'clock. at which Mr.. Brad
ford will be present to consult with the
farmers. As he proposes to build the
creamery himself he only asks Of farmers
that they pledge the requisit number of
cows to make it a success. We believe it
will be for the interest of our farmers to
give the enterprise a hearty support.
