THE UBIQUITOUS TARIFF.
President Harrison's Defense Of Hig
Protection and PlutOcraCy.

President Harrison's Defense Of High
Protection and Plutocracy.
The only reason, says President
Harrison, why manufactures and min
ing developed more rapidly in New
England and Pennsylvania than in the
South was slavery.
This Is the remark of very SUPER
fetal observer. Why did not slavery
continue to exist in tho Northern
States? Simply because it was not
profitable. The agricultural resources
of New England did not compare to
those of the West and South, hence
profitable employment for slave labor
could not be found and the slaves
were sold South.
Then the tariff was established;
system by which the Western and
Southern States, chiefly devoted to
farming and from natural causes,
were taxed to build up the mills of
New England and the mines of Penn
sylvania.
Thus established under the false
plea of protection to infant industries,
the modern plutocracy has grown
more Unsuitable with each passing dec
ade, and it successfully resists every
attempt to curtail its enormous privi-
leges.
As far as the West and South are
concerned, the tariff gives them no
protection from New England and
Pennsylvania. Alabama iron meets
Pennsylvania iron in the Louisville
market The mills of Augusta meet
the products of the mills of Lowell in
Memphis, in St. Louis, in Chicago,
with no protection whatever. II
there is any virtue in protection it
should be applied now between the
States; if ever the infants of New En-.
gland needed protection from compe-
tition with Old England, our mills and
factories need protection from compe-
tition with the long-established mills
and factories of the East. This is the
test which demonstrates the insincerity
of the advocates of the tariff.
The question in this sense may not
be sectional; but it is worse than sec
tional, for tits contrary to the spirit Of
liberty. The battle now waging against
the policy of restriction is a battle o1
freedom, and
"Freedom's BATTLE once begun,
Bequeathed from bleeding sire 10 son,
Though baffled oft is ever won.''
The tariff builds up classes and class
distinctions; it taxes the poor for the
benefit of the rich; it makes the ricl
more arrogant, more domineering
more dangerous. It degrades the poor
destroys hope in their hearts; stifle
all their aspirations, and it establishe
false wage system that is little bet
ter than slavery.
Down with the war tariff Louis

NAPHTHA SMELLING.
The Latest Female Vice Discovered In the
Metropolis of Culture.

The Latest Female Vice Discovered in the
Metropolis of Culture.
The latest female vice is intoxication
by naphtha. 1t is not drunk. The
fumes of it are simply inhaled, induc-
ing, SO the inebriates say, particular
ly agreeable exhilaration. Not even
hasheesh, it is understood, begets more
fascinating dreams or more gorgeous
visions of splendor. The girls in the
rubber factories, of which there are a
great number in Boston and it's neigh
borhood, are greatly addicted to this
novel form of drunkenness. In such
establishments naphtha is use in enor-
nous quantities to cleanse the rubber,
being kept in big boilers closed against
the air. To the valves of these boilers
the young women employees readily OBJ
tain access, and breathe the ex.
halations therefrom, some UNI
lucky accident having betrayed
to chance experimental the
abominable secret. The notion is said
to have been brought originally from
Germany by immigrant laborers in
petticoats. Now the manufacturers
propose to put stop to the evil by
keeping the valves carefully locked.
An overdose of naphtha fumes brings
on historical commissions and other
unpleasant symptoms. The habit,
long-followed, causes a swelling OF the
face and other parts of the body, with
dropsy to follow, and some times cpl
lepsy. On the whole, it is difficult to
know which of these new-fangled vices
for women to recommend. There is
ether-drinking, laughing gas and tea
eating, beside the naphtha. The con-
scientious pursuit of any one Of them
will surely lead to the lunatic asylum,
You pays your money-as one might
remark-aud you takes your choice. -

THE woL,N.s VOICE.
A Pathetic story Of Musician and Dy-
ing Child.

A Pathetic Story Of Musician and . ~.
ing Child.
The dark angel of death was stand
ing outside the musicians door, for
little Annita, Maestro Narditti's child
was fading away: no tears. no prayers
could avail, not even Carissima's
lovely voice. Christmas voice
was hushed now; the maestro had
no heart to take up his dearly
loved violin and play to soothe his sor-
row, as he had done many years ago,
when his wife died and left his little
one behind. Heaven had given him
the gift Of genius and had hidden him
call aloud to the world. So Carissima
and he had played together through
sickness and sorrow and success and
through all the changing scenes Of
life they had been faithful friends.
They had just come back from the
crowded hall; the people said that never
before had the maestro played so beau
tifully and that never before had the
violin's voice sounded 80 mournful and
pathetic. Well, you sea they did not
know the reason; but we do, for both
were thinking Of the little dying girl,
and how could their thoughts be any
thing but sorrowful, or the outward ex-
preston of those thoughts be any thing
but mournful? The father was weep
ing by his child's bedside. But she
said: "Do not weep; sing to messing
me to sleep, for / am SO weary, dear
father, and the evening has been 90
long without thee"
Then he rose and played 10 her, and
she closed her eyes and listened happi-
ly to Carissima's voice. It sang q
song without words-the music alone
told the tale-of pure young life, too
pure for earth, and therefore to be
taken away to that fair land where
only the good and pure and true
dwell. Yet it was hard to leave the
earth, harder still to- leave the dear
ones behind, and to know that they
would be disconsolate; and here the
violin's voice sobbed and trembled q.
il from sorrow. and the melody be
came sadder and softer, as II describ
ing the very parting which was soor
to take place; then the lingering notes
died away and the maestro's hand wa
still.
"Is that all?"' murmured the child
''oh, play again? Once more h
raised his bow on high, and the air re
sounded with a psalm Of triumph-th
same melody, but no longer soft o
sad, for. the gates Of the fair land wer
opened wide. and amid this jubilan
strain the child passed away With th
LANCE! Of death. -=Qgasgs.I Judd lassaA'

Lungs than any other 1t is probable that
everyone, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the system
and where these germs fall upon suitable soil
they start into life and develop, at first slowly
and are shown by slight tickling sensation in
the throat and if allowed to continue their
rsvsges they extend to the lungs producing
Consumption and to the head, causing Ca
