there was panic in the agency. The
agent had to supply in some way the
new clerks salary, while tho old clerks
failed to get tho increase they expected.
| Worse than this, the agent rather than
pay the new clerks salary our of his
own pocket, assessed all the old clerks
sufficiently TO mako up the necessary
amount. He says of this extraordinary
act: "Thc extra expense was incurred
under the supposition that a larger ap.
preparation was to be made for the Office
The appropriation was not made and tho
| expense had to be met You know that
people working under the Government
must submit to any arbitrary decision or
get out" This view of the civil service
of great nation is the Harrisonian-
| Tanner one which came into vogue with
the victory of the party of moral ideas
last November.
| THOSE who see in tariff protection u
panacea for labor troubles are calling on
the Democratic papers to explain how
| the London stevedore strike can happen
in free trade country. They should
themselves first explain how we could
have five years of such extreme indus
trial depression and widespread labor
troubles as we had for five years follow
ing 1878 under the highest tariff that
was ever known--a tariff that laid pro-
tective duties averaging a per cent. on
more than 1000 articles They should
also explain how it is that wages are so
much higher in "free trade" England
than in any European country which
pretends to protect wages with a tariff
on imports, and why it is that the strikes
of which we hear 50 much now in
our own country, are chiefly if not
wholly in the protected industries, and
are strikes against 10 and 20 per cent.
reduction of wages, while the strike in
England is for higher wages.-St. Louis

THE Cleveland Plaindealer says: Mr..
Campbell in his Batavia speech left no
doubt as to where he stands on the ques-
tion of tariff reform. He began that
part of his speech by praising the
work of President Cleveland in taking
the stand he did on tariff reform. He
took up one after another the leading
features of the Mills bill and emphati-
cally indorsed them, giving his reasons
therefor. He said he was heartily in
sympathy with the sentiment in the
tariff plank of the platform of the party
which declares that the battle for tariff
reform must be carried on, and the posi-
ton of himself and the party was COM
pactly stated in this paragraph.
The Mills bill is the product of
the best thought of the last
house. Though not perfec, it is,
however, the best measure of the kind
proposed for years. 1t does not advocate
free trade nor throw down the barriers.
1t does reform abuses, correct evils and
relieve the people without injury to the
producer. 1t is righteous measure
founded in wisdom. Tho Democratic
party is not for free trade, but it is solid
ly,honestly, determined for tariff reform
in the interest of honesty, good govern
ment and the people whose servant and
friend it is.

A SENSIBLE WEDDING.
How Thrifty Young Man and His Bride
Surprised His Friends.

One way to get married and take D
tour: The two young people are not
at all rich. They are going to live in
four rooms upstairs in little subur-
ban house. Neither one had home,
and when they made up their minds to
be married they begun, first of all, to
save from their earnings to furnish for
themselves corner which they could
call home. Several weeks before their
wedding they engaged their rooms.
and enjoyed furnishing them and visit
ing them together quite as much as If
they were arranging II mansion TO live
in. They moved their trunks the
morning of the wedding day, and in
the evening they had Il few friends
come in TO see them in their little new
parlor, where the minister married
them. The bride then served the
guests to supper she had prepared
before putting on her white dress. and
every body was very happy and merry.
1t seemed almost as il they thought
this way of doing was as pleasant and
homelike and lovely as If they had
rushed off to spend their savings on a
wedding journey. Christian Union.

The Origin of the Sash.

The broad sash which the young
man of the period now wears is OF
Spanish and Mexican origin. and, as
worn by the greaser dude of the Rio
Grande, is q broad scarf tied at the
side with flowing ends. Since they
have become fashionable with the
American youth the tying in some in
stances is dispensed with, and the
sash, which presents a broad front, is
a delusion and u snare, and, like the
butterfly necktie, is made up and fin
ishes in the back where it is concealed
by the coat, in a small belt and buckle
to keep it on. For the young man
whose shape does not allow of his get
ting along without the use of suspend
ers, the sash is not "a thing OF beauty
or a JOY forever" If he ties his sash
tight enough to keep his trousers in
place it will collapse and be like limp
string in size, and if he allows its broad
folds TO encircle his abdomen loosely
then he is in mortal fear that his
trousers will drop off, so he is never
entirely happy. l saw one real sweet
young man the other day, and he had
his sash arranged with sort OF martin
gale. The sash was very broad, and
he had his four-in-hand necktie come
down and meet his sash, and pinned to
it with society pin. Wouldn't be sur
prised if the sash was also pinned to
his trousers, so that the whole weight

workingmen were enjoying Labor's holi-

Perhaps our contemporary will now

Can't Agree on Trusts.

Republican papers and leaders seem
TO differ very essentially in regard to
the relation between the tariff and
Trusts.
The New York Post deprecates the ex-
istence of the Sugar Trust, and asks:
''NYhat is the remedy?" He answers it
by declaring Congress has it in its power
to break this eXtortionate Trust which
affects every individual in the land by
revising the duty on sugar.
The New York Tribune asserts that
the Sugar Trust exists and EFFORTS
money without the slightest aid from
the tariff.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean says: "Sugar
is necessary of life, and when it comes
to the consumer the least shade of ad-
vance in price is an immense sum in the
aggregate. If this eXtortionate combi-
nation, the Sugar Trust, is allowed full
swing 1t will outstrip the Standard oil
Company in its profits"
1T is entirely competent for Congress
to SO adjust and condition duties as to
Blaine says: TRUSTS are mere private
matters, with which Congress and the
President have no right to interfere"
While the wise ones are settling this
question a half dozen refneries are put
ting untold millions in their pockets as
profits on sugar, and the people are con-
tributing $50, 900, 900 more to the annual
surplus revenue from this source.
Because of this duty on sugar and of
the com linp the c0ngumapg in tho
United States are paying three or four
cents more for every pound of this neces-
sary Of life than they pay in England.
This is an illustration of the way the
tariff cheapens the necessaries of life.

! Most of that public debt was bearing
six per cent. premium per annum; a lit
tie of it four per cent. The annual in
terest charge was $213 900. We had to
pay out that much every year for inter-
est alone. Well, we thought six per
cent was too much interest for the great
State of Ohio to pay under Republican
administration. [Cheers. And so we
proposed to refund the bonds, and we
did refund them into three-pcrcents, and
our credit was so good that we sold them
at such premium that the net rate of
interest was but 2.72 per annum.
That is the highest credit
that the State ever enjoyed in our his
tory; higher than any other State in the
Union ever enjoyed; higher than the
National Government has ever enjoyed;
higher than England herself, the very
highest standard in the commercial
world, has ever enjoyed. Great ap-
plause. BY that, and by paying off
what we have of the principal, we have
reduced the annua interest from 1913, 900
to Ss3, 900 year, saving thereby $50, 600
year"
This is Forakerism. The law to re-
fund the debt was passed by Demo
cratic Legislature during IIoadly's term.
This law prescribed the rate of interest
which might be paid, the manner of ad-
vertising for proposals, and when the
time came for action the sinking fund
commissioners, one of whom was Dem
ocrat, accepted the best bid offered for
the new bonds and paid off the old.
Money was abundant, rates of interest
low, and the refunding good thing for
the State. Foraker is no more entitled
to the credit Of 1t than he is for the
abundant corn crop. II credit is due to
anybody, it Is due to the General As
sembly which passed the law, and this
was Democratic. The saving OF Sl30,OO0
