The Charleston Democrat quotes
from Grover Cleveland and George u.
Vest in support of the incidental pro-
tection" doctrine-or, rather, to show
| that the Democratic faith is not violat-
ed by imposing taxes for other purpos-
es than that of revenue. All Demo-
Gratis are proud of George G. Vest and
We, for one, take pleasure in every
where and at all times admiring him
for his sincerity, frankness and courage,
evidenced In Lis famous declaration
that from now on there must be fight
"to the death" between the taxpayer
and the protected interests. He was
abused for saying so, but he told roth
ing but the truth, and the abuse has
fallen harmless. We, too, quote from
Cleveland's famous message, and COM
mend the paragraph appended to the
prayerful consideration of all good
Democrats whose ears are yet tickled
with the mellifiuous paradox-a tariff
for revenue only, with incidental pro-
lection
Unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation.
Congress has power to tax only for the sup
port Of the government, economically admin
Mustered, within plain, specified constltu-
tional limits; and seizure of the property
of the people by the exercise of the power of
taxation, for any but public and general
purpose, is an unconstitutional and mon
strous abuse.

1t Works Both Ways.

The proposed "trust" of carpet man
ufacturers is an excellent illustration
of the two edged way the tariff affects
trade com limitations,
The tariff taxes carpet woods, the
raw material of carpet manufacture,
anywhere from 25 to 40 per cent. That
makes carpet manufacturing upprofit-
able, because it reduces the demand
for carpets both at home and abroad
and so causes over-produetion and ruin
Gus competition.
This almost forces the manufacturers
to form a trust for their own preserva-
ton. Then the tariff tax on imported
CARPETS gives the combination close
monopoly of the home market and en-
ables it to charge the public about
what it pleases for carpets.
1t is so in all cases where the high
protection principle operates. Either
the manufacturers or the public are
robbed all the time.-Boston Globe.

Last weeks Perryville Chronicle
gave the results of Tuesdays elections
not as they were, but as its Republi-
can editor would have liked them to
be. Hear him:
In the election held last Tuesday the Re-
publicans carried Massachusetts, Nebraska,
Ohio, except for governor, which is In doubt,
and Pennsylvania, with Iowa in doubt. The
Democrats carried Maryland, Mississippi,
New Jersey, New York and Virginia. The
Republicans elected a legislature in Ohio,
which chooses a successor to Hon. Henry B..
Payne, Democrat, in the United States Sem
ate. BY this reverse the Democrats will lose
the seat in the upper branch of Congress,
they held since 1869.
1t is not in the nature of things to
suppose that the Chronicle man will
go to the trouble of amending his re-
port this week, in the consonance with
the facts, but no doubt bis readers have
other sources through which to learn
the truth.

A very interesting letter is published
| in the st. Paul Pioneer-Press from 6
gentleman who acted as an election
clerk at the polls in Montana at the
at the recent first trial of the Austria
liam ballot system in that State. He
had previously acted as election clerk
in Indiana, and was, therefore, fully
competent to estimate the comparative
merits of the old and new systems OF
voting. He says that the only objec-
ton which has been heard against the
new system was that it took too long
to count the votes, and adds:
But really it is not an objection. The sys-
tenn was in no way responsible for the length
That was caused solely and only by the length
of the ticket. There were over eighty names
on the ticket, and over forty had to be voted
for. There was an immense amount of
scratching done by both parties, out of all
proportion to what is done in the States.
believe l am perfectly safe in saying that at
least half the ballots cast by either party in
some of the precints were scratched, conse-
quent y in large precinct it would neces-
sarily take long time TO count the ballots.
have been a clerk of election in Indiana a
number of times, anu 1 was clerk of one of
our election boards here at the late election,
and 1 see no difference whatever on the ques-
ton of time IN counting the ballots, other
things being equal.
Onfhe question of "cum bersomeness"
in the law and of time required in vot-
ing, the writer's views are equally con-
elusive and interesting:
While the Australian law seems cumber-
some in reading, it is otherwise in practice.
All that the voter has to understand about
it is to know how to mark his ticket. This
understood he walks inside the ropes sur
rounding the polling place, and as soon as
in thespolling place one Of the judges gives
him tic ket and another assigns him booth
where he marks his ticket, walks up and
casts his vote and walks out. The whole
thing is very simple IN practice. believe
that under the Australian law fully as many,
if not more, votes can be cast than under
the old law, all the circumstances being the
same. Take any large precinct where there
are from 400 TO 500 voters. Let us suppose
that they are all entitled to vote. Under the
Australian law there are enough booths
provided for these men, and they can walk
up and deposit their ballots just as rapidly
as under the old law. The judges are Sc
cure from noise or confusion-nO person is
allowed about the polls except the judges
and clerks and the persuns admitted to vote,
so that the election officers can do their bus
mess much more expeditiously and salts
factorily than when surrounded by noisy
crowd. Icould say much more from actual
experience in favor of the new law, but
only speak now of the two possible objec-
lions which you mention.

The bond scheme, instituted by the
American Express Company last May,
in which each employe of the company
was compelled to pay into great bond
fund a certain amount pro rata with
their wages, has met with SO much
favor that the other great express COM
panies are seriously considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of adopting the scheme
for themselves. The fund is to reim-
burse the company for any losses it
may sustain through the populations
of dishonest employees, and at the end of
each year the surplus over the amount
of the stealings is returned to the en-
ployes. This scheme makes each man
a detective, because when the compa-
ny loses the money it becomes an in
dividual loss to the men. Since this
scheme has been in vogue the pecula-
tons of employees have diminished
wonderfully. But it is great steal
from the employees, all the SANE.

In the account to Wilkie Collins ia

Those who really knew Wilkie Collins
recall with sadness his singular kindness

Sometime between midnight and day

visited the residences Of Judge ]. H

South Penn street, Island, and the
houses Of Mr.. O. R. Laird and Mr.. Dor.
sey, on Vermont street, near South Penn.
AT Judge Rodgers they were trying 10

out any booty!
AT Mr.. McGregor's, where they next
stopped, they were more successful.
They gained an entrance through front
window, and went through the house.
A gold watch was stolen, also a pair Of
boys shoes, and q sum Of money. A
ring kept by Mr.. MCGregor in a small
pocket OF his overcoat was found yes

and d check in Mrs. McGregors favor
was left on table.
After securing what they could, the
thieves went into the dining room, set
out a nice cold lunch and ate It.
They next called OH Mr.. Laird, and
getting into the house through back
window, went upstairs. One OF them
opened the door leading into the room
occupied by Mr.. Laird's mother, but she
awoke and asked what was wanted. The

and went into her sons room. He per-
