Tariff Reformers Hard at Work.

The Massachusetts, tariff reform league,
which did such splendid work in the re-
cent campaign, has renewed the battle
against the monopoly system OF taxation.
In ringing address to the people it an
nounces that it Will retain its headquarters
and secretary and will urge and assist in
the formation of local clubs throughout
the state. Competent speakers have al
ready volunteered their services in con-
tinuing the discussion, and special effort
will be made to provoke Joint debate. +"
The address continues:
Our representatives in congress will be given
an opportunity to explain why they have sacri-
need the interests of New England to the greed
OF Pennsylvania.
Our protected manufacturers, who a few
months ago Petitioned congress not to put raw
materials on the free list, viii again be invited
to defend their petition.
The wealthy few, who imagine they have
bought the right TO fatten upon the abuses of
the tariff without fear of molestation, are re-
minded that the tariff question can not be
settled at all until it is rightly settled.
The officers OF the league are HENRY l..
PIERCE, president; WILLIAM LLOYD GAR
RIsoN. son Of the great abolitionist, treas
urer; JOSIAH QUINCY, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee, and john +. ANDREW,
son of the great war governor of Massa-
chusetts, chairman of the finance COM
mittee. These are all historic names and
stand for the most advanced thought, the
ripest culture and the most patriotic
craftsmanship in all New England.
Messrs. PIERCE, GARRISON, QUINCY and
ANDREW were all identified with the re-
publican party until the tariff issue came
to the front, and they are fairly represen-
tative of the class of men who are leaving
the grand old party" by the thousands
now that the monopolies have obtained
control of that organization.
The tariff reform campaign is being re-
sumed with yigor all over the country.
The Indiana league, recently organized,
will soon begin active operations. The
work of organization, education and
agitation will be carried forward earnestly
throughout the land during the next four
years, and the result will, we doubt not,
be the overwhelming defeat of the mo-
nopoly takers in 1892.

The Indian Commissionership.

A petition, 10 which the names of sew
eral thousand representative citizens of
Philadelphia and other eastern cities have
been appended, is being circulated by the
"Indian rights association" asking Presi-
dent HARRISON to retain the present COM
missioner of Indian affairs, Mr.. JOHN II.
OBERLY OF Illinois. The petition sets
forth that during his brief incumbency
Mr.. OBERLY has given entire satisfaction
to many friends OF the Indians who are
unofficially and gratuitously laboring for
the advancement of this people, and who
have had the best opportunities for esti-
mating the practical value of Mr.. OBERLY's
services to the government. We believe
that the most serious and dangerous
abuses connected with the Indian service
in the past - abuses which have
brought discredit to the nation,
misery and destruction to the Indian, and
have cost the lives of many of our own
people-may be traced directly to the ap-
pointment of bad or incompetent men as
Indian agents and employees, as a reward
for partisan services. Mr.. OBERLY favors
the abolition of the spoils system in the
Indian service, and the introduction of the
merit system in its place, whereby men OF
character and ability may be appointed to
places OF trust among the Indians, ire
spective of party utilization, and be re-
tanned in power so long as they remain
competent and faithful. Mr.. 0BERLY' $
course so far has, in our judgment. proved
the sincerity OF his professions. We be-
lieve that his retention under the incoming
administration $50 long as he shall adhere
to his present policy will not only save a
valuable officer to the government, but
will pave the way for the removal of the

High Tariff And Low Wages.

During the last campaign the glass
workers OF New Albany and other In
diana towns were told that if President
CLEVELAND was elected and the Mills bill
became law, their wages would surely be
reduced THE SENTINEL showed, upon
the authority OF the census reports, that
the Mills bill left glass of all kinds pro-
tected to an extent greater than the entire
amount of wages paid in this country, so
that, even if the glass manufacturers OF
Belgium and other countries were TO get
their labor for nothing, the American
manufacturers would still have them at q
great disadvantage in American markets,
so far az the labor item was concerned.
The SENTINEL told the glass-workers,
frankly and truthfully, that they were in
no danger from tariff reform; that no
measure which reduced the cost of their
living, while it protected their en-
ployers 10 more than the full extent
of their wages, could possibly do them
any injury; that tariffs and wages had
little connection, and that, in fact, wages
were more likely to be high under low
tariff than under high tariff, because a
low tariff would reduce the cost of raw
materials and enlarge the markets for
American products, thus increasing the
demand for labor, and with an increased
demand for labor the tendency of wages
is certain TO be upward.
The monopoly organs secuted at these
plain statements OF truth. They did not
attempt to combat the facts and figures
which THE SENTINEL marshalled to sus-
tain it's position, but just kept up their
insane howl of "free trade" and "pauper
wages" Their columns were filed, until
the election, with predictions that starva-
ton and ruin would overtake American
-orkingmen if CLEVELAND was successful,

The methods by which most OF the CO.
lossal fortunes of the country have been
built up are illustrated by the operations
of JAY GOULD and his associates in the
elevated railroad companies OF New York
City. The New York Times tells the story.
The companies obtained possession of
four important avenues as free gift from
the city, and fought persistently against
paying TO private property-owners COM
pensation for their damages. BY means
of construction contracts GOULD and his
associates contrived to conceal the cost OF
building and equipping the roads, and it
has never yet been definitely ascertained.
There is reason to believe, according to
the Times, that the cost was more than
covered by the proceeds of the
bonds issued, and that the orig
inal stock of the two companies
Sl3, 0,000-represented little or no paid
up capital. The next step was the estab-
lishment of a monopoly by the organiza-
ton of a third corporation to operate the
roads of the other two. Then a consolida-
ton was effected, the amount of stock
being doubled without the investment of
a single additional penny. Since that
time the chief effort of GOULD and his
gang has been, according to the Times,
ito extract from the community as large
dividends as possible upon this enor-
mously inflated stock. incidentally they
have made millions by specializing with
the properties. They set out deliberately
to bankrupt the Manhattan company, in
ducing the attorney general of the state
to aid them, and then gobbled up its de-
preciated stock and established their mo-
nopoly. They resisted the reduction of
fares from 10 cents, and extended their
accommodations only as their trains be-
came crowded to suffocation. They fought
against the payment of Just taxes on the
value OF their property"
II is by this sort OF legerdenlain, and by
such wanton trihing with the rights and
interests of the people, that GOULD has be-
come multi-millionaire. 1t is by similar
methods that VANDERBILT, STANFORD,
CRocRER, HUNTINGTON, ROCKEFELLER, SAGE
and others of that class have acquired
wealth and power. This kind of thing,

The Price of Success.

WHITELAw REID of the New York
Tribune, who has been appointed minister
to France, is a man of talent and tact and
industry. but wholly without convictions
When he entered New York journalism
he seemed to have very high conceptions
of its obligations and opportunities. For
a time he conducted the Tribune on an
elevated moral plane. His paper was
thoroughly independent and fearless in
its treatment of all public questions. It
fought, with a good deal of vigor, eK-
travagance, jobbery and corruption in
government. 1t stood resolutely for
honest politics. 1t denounced BLAINE in
unstinted terms for his venality, and
handled other crooked statesmen with out
gloves.
But the Tribune conducted on this
policy, did not prove a financial success, and
REID made a sudden and radical change
in its character. He formed an alliance
with BLAINE and JAY GOULD, and the
Tribune became the leading organ of mo-
nopoly and jobbery in America. All who
have followed its course for the last dozen
years know that there is not more
mercenary or INSCRIPTIONS journal in the
United States. REID, some years ago
married daughter of ID. o. Mills, the
California millionaire, and by this alliance
his fortune was made. He has since
posed as an aristocrat and prided himself
upon his exclusiveness. He has made a
determined and bitter war upon the
typographical union and all other labor
organizations, and no man in the country,
unless it be JAY GOULD, is more cordially
hated, or with better reason, by the work
ingmen. He is snob and toady of the
most pronounced type, and we presume,
values his new appointment chiefly for the
social distinction it will confer upon him.
WHITELAw REID has achieved the OBJ
jects of his ambition-wealth, power, social
station and official preierment But at
what fearful sacrifice of conscience and
manhood

THE Journal, speaking of the disgraceful
appointment OF FRED GRANT to an import
ant foreign mission, says ''the fact that he
is the son OF his father is excuse enough
for his appointment" There used to be
in this country decided prejudice against
the recognition of what might be termed
ancestral qualifications for Office. We
suspect that this prejudice still exists, and
that the policy of rewarding men for what
their fathers did, irrespective OF their own
merits, will not prove popular. The APP
pointment of dead-beats and dolts to i'm
portant offices, because they are sons of
great men, is not in harmony with the
American idea, which is, to use popular
expression, that every tub should stand
on it's own bottom"
