Goff. The names of the would Be
bribers are known and warrants are
out for their arrest. They should
send for Dudiey's friend Judge
Wood, to help G6Fs relative out OF
the snarli On his revised opinion
the offer to briBe was an innocent
demonstration, and only became
culpable when the offer was accept
ed and there was a formal delivery
of the goods. 1t was the most
thorough-going judicial delivefance
ever had in this country on how to
make bribery easy and protect the

The Republican, tariff bill puts
a duty Of two and quarter cents
per pound on tin-plate. That does
not seem a great deal, but it amounts
to a tax of ten million of dollars a
year on the american people, and
still no one is protected, for no one
manufactures tin-plate in the uni
ted States. But then the people are
informed by distinguished Repub-
lican Senator, that smore than forty
manufacturers, or those who are
prepared for the manufacture of these
in-plates, have stated hatthey will
ehter upon the necessary prepara-
tions Immediately" In other words
the people must go down into their
pockets and pay somebody for start
ing and running d business that
would otheii;;iisise not be considered
profitable. They must pay and con-
time to pay more by two and aquar-
ter cents pound for their tin-ware,
tin-roofs, and all other articles manu.
factured of tin plate, which will not
go into the public treasury, but as
profits into the pockets of a few
monopolists.
Commenting on this subject, the
New York Times SAYS
The duty is proposed avowedly
in decordance with all understand
ing between the Finance Committee
and certain number of gentlemen
of means who have, appeared before
the Committee, and ahB have made
all their arrangements, established
"plant," &c, to take advantage of
the duty so soon as it shall become
law. we d5 E8t remember SO
shameful and so shameless bargain
in the dark history of tariff leg
isiatare."

A young man in San Francisco
was stricken blind last month in a
very peculiar manner. During the
eclipse on New Years Day he look
ed at the sun for a long time with
his naked eyes. On the following
morning he discovered he was to-
tally blind. An ocnlist has been
operating upon his eyes and he is
gradually recovering sight in the
right, but the left, it is feared, will
be entirely sightless.

Tax.Profiioied .sProsperity.,,


The commercial agencies report
ed total of 359 business failures in
the United States last week-.'pto-
bably the highest number ever
recorded in this country in that
period Of time"
How does the fact square with
the ante-election prophesies and the
post election celebration of the Re
publicans?
Nearly four hundred business
failures in one week, when the
sacred war tariff has been saved
for "four years more?" Bankruptcy
spreading within two months of the
triumph of a party pledged to pro-
mote prosperity by keeping up the
taxes?
How can such things be? This
record of things does not harmonic
with the jubliant tones of the SPELL
binders rejoicing. 1t is out of tune
with the swelling notes of pride and
confidence emitted by the Protec-
ton organs. Our "business inter-
ests," which have prospered greatly
during nearly four years of Demo
cratic administration, inspired by
the hope of tax reduction, present a
stagnant stock market, exports of
gold, closed mills and widespread
bankruptcy as heralds of the Re-
publican restoration.

Harrison can hope for, a re-nomina-,

Blaine he would undoubtedly be

the Republican Convention of 1884.
President Harrison yielded to Mr..
Blaine's influence, probably lbppiss
that he himself could control, him if
he made him p member.of his Cabi-
net. With better reasons President
Garfield entertained the same delu-
sion.
As Secretary of State Mr.. Blaine
will be q dangerous man. When he
first held. that office he showed a
lack of familiarity. with the Govern
ment's foreign affairs that was dis
creditaPle to. a man who had been
in public life for twenty years
His vigorous" policy came near
making American diplomacy the
laughing stock of the World. The

Charleston Gazette.
Judge okey johnson, who has
just retired from the Supreme
Bench, in the Circuit Court last
Thursday, in argument against the
grant of an exclusive privilege to
the Coal River Boom Co., said:
"There is no more hateful word in
the English language, nor one
fraught with more wrong and op-
preston than the word monopoly.
1t is the sport of the millionaire,
and the grinding oppressor of the
poor; it is sweet music to the rich,
but the direful dirge of the poverty
stricken sufferer; it adds more and
still more to the comforts of the
luxurious mansion; but it pits out
the fire in the tenement house, and
snatthesthG clothing from the backs,
and the frugal meal from the scaint5
board of the tired toiler. 1t is
odious in the eyes Of the faat@Sg, and a
th0tsend times more so in the sight
Of Il fIst God"
