WASHINGTON CITY, July l5-Postmaster
General Wanamaker, when asked Saturday
about the truth of the report that he had
made an order re iucing the rate on govern
ment kilograms from ! cent to l mill per
word, said that he had suggested this rate
and notified the telegraph companies to this
effect To some of the companies that OBJ
jected to this rate he had written a letter
which stated, among other things:
Il desire to say that the rate proposed was
fixed upon information furnished to this de-
partment that your company has been max
ing rates to various large corporations that
in some instances as low as the figure
now proposed for the government service.
With the notice of this fact | would not be
justified in making for the government a
a new contract at higher rates than were
charged other patrons, especially so in view
of the privileges and benefits extended to
your company by acts of congress / sub
NIT to your own sense of right that the
government, under existing conditions, is en-

The Consumer is Wor.ted.

froa The Chicago Times.
The recent arbitrary ruling of the treas
ury department increasing the duty on
worsteds is bringing to light what might
prove to be a most nefarious political
bargain. 1t has been charged, and the
charge has not been wholly denied, that
the worsted nsbobs gave enormous con-
tributions TO the republican campaign
funds with the understanding that the
duty was To be increased on worsteds for
the next two years. But how will this
pay them for their contributions? Well.
If the beautiful campaign assertions of
the high protective tariff party were true.
that the foreigner paid this duty, and not
the consumer, il would not. But, unfor>
tunately for them, this is not the case.
1t will be remembered that some time
ago the treasury department rated hat
trimmings made of silk ribbons as silk
ribbons and charged duty accordingly.
The importers paid the duty. amounting
to IS, 100000 under protest and then ap
pealed to the supreme court. That tri-
bunal decided in favor of the importers
and had their money refunded. In the
meantime they had advanced the prices
OF their trimmings to cover the extra duty
and had got il all back from the con
sumner, with profit on their investment, as
we'll as per cent on the SO, 900 they
had paid out as extra duty. Then when
the treasury had refunded them the So
100000 they put that in their pockets.
Of course they never prorated 1t among
the consumers to reimburse them for
having paid this duty in the first place
Not they. These importers and ribbon
barons look on AL such as this as a part
of the governmental scheme TO assist
them in gouging a few extra millions
year from the deluded taxpayers of this
free country. So it will be in the case of
The excess of duties just put on worsteds.
OF course the worsted barons will APP
peal. They will make a great howl about
the burdens on the consumers, and all
that, and righteously and Indignantly
appeal 10 the supreme court. This is
part Of the scheme And, of course, as
in the case of the silk ribbons for hat
trimmings, the supreme court will de-
eide in favor of the worsted importers,
az the law is the same. In the mean
time the prices of worsteds will be raised
to the consumers to meet this excess of
duty, and the people will have to pay 1t.
Then the treasury department will be
made to refund this duty To the worsted
men, who will put it down in their pock-
cts. In this way. during the next two
years, they will get back all they con-
trlbuted to the high tariff campaign
fund several times over, together with
double compound interest thereon. And
thus it works. And then they will be
ready to contribute again in 1892,

Deafness Can't be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflaDed con-

ian tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored TO its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catsrrh,
which is nothing but an infismed condi-

THE special election for states attorney

death of the late Hon. Patrick 0'Msra,

didates in the field-Eugene Lewis, DEM
ocrat, NJ. II. Sturgeon, republican, and
5. W. O'dell, prohihiuonist. OF course
the contest lies between the two first
named With n full and straight" vote
Mr.. Sturgeon would be successful, as his
party has several hundred majority in
the county. But nobody expects any
satisfaction expressed throughout the
county over the republican nominee,
makes the result highly problematical.
While Mr.. Sturgeon had a majority to
begin with, his nomin att on was holly con.
tested by three other gentlemen, whose
friends went home disgruntled and
sore over the manner in which
Sturgeon manipulated the conven-
ton. This, with other causes, has weak
ened him considerably. Mr.. Lewis, on
the contrary, was nominated by acclams-
ton, without dissenting voice. With
one accord the delegates asked him to
accept the nomination. and there were
not subsequent chickering's or fault find
ing. Everything connected with his cam
didacy has been harmonious and fraught
with the best of feelings. There are no
dissensions in the democratic ranks, and
Mr.. Lewis will undoubtedly get the
united support of his party, which he is
certainly entitled to. This, with the
large republican vote which Mr.. Lewis
will surely receive by reason of his high
moral character. legal ability and general
fitness for the Office will be sufficient to
secure his election.
