How oabio message Is Received.

Only the feeblest currents should be used
on submarine lines, since heavy pulses which
could be employed with impunity on land
lines, if they did not soon destroy the cable
covering, would at least tend to develop
faults which otherwise might long remain
latent Defects in cable covering that other
wise may not lead to harm admit moisture,
and hence, under the action Of a strong cur
rent, oxides arc quickly formed, destroying

the development Of a class Of recording in
struments remarkable for delicacy Of action
notably the siphon recorder, which indi-
Gates the electric impulses by a wavy ink line

Horace eresl.y.s biography.

The biographers Of Abraham Lincoln
In the Century are now going for
Horace Greeley. Poor Mr.. Greeley fares
even worse at their hands than did Sec.
retary Chase There is not an easier sub
ject to hold upto ridicule in our recent
history than was this same Horace
Greeley; and yet, after it is all
done, the fact remains that Mr..
Greeley was a man of rare genius,
patriot of thepurest type, philanthrop-
list of the noblest instincts, and that he
rendered service both to his nation and
to humanity second to very few of his
generation. Besides all which, he was
much the most vigorous editorial
writer that this generation has produced
Then earlier named considerations might,
perhaps, induce some leniency of iudg
ment toward his known and admitted
weaknesses; but we opine that Mr.
Greeley's reputation is safe in any event

II the class of men who preach the
false though specious doctrine Of ''pro-
tection to the American workingman"

humiliated at the general rise OF wages
in England and general fall Of wages in
the United States England is the high
uesk type Of low tariff country, and yet
while coal miners here are starving under
a protective tariff of 10 cents ton the
miners Of England have obtained an
advance in wages Of 10 per centum, and
in October they viii receive another
advance Of per cent These advances
have not been confined to the coal miners,
but iron workers, ship builders ana EN-
ployes Of all kinds Of manufactures have
been rejoicing in an increase Of wages.
These pleasant results have been brought
about, not BY strikes, but are the natural
results Of Great Britain's immense trade
monopoly secured by advantageous and
liberal commercial laws In protected
America things are not going on so
well. In Pennsylvania. thousands Of
iron-workers and coal-miners are out Of
employment; Carnegie's 2, 500 men must
submit to 20 per cent. reduction; at
Brazil, Ind, the miners will have to
choose between starving on scanty
pay or starving without any
pay; at Braidwood, III, there are even
more miners in worse condition.
These facts are not explained by the elo-

fanciful speeches to persuade the work
ingmen that with Harrison would come
plenty. Surely there must be some pro.
