From the South American states the
great exports are coffee, hides and WOOL
The first two are imported free from duty
and the industries which have grown out
Of their preparation FOR market here are
large. prosperous and lucrative The
wool industry languished because the
wooden manufacturers have TO pay too
much for raw material &c compete with
the manufacturers Of other countries
who obtain wool free. Another instance
Of making trade mutually beneficial and
increasing It's volume and prosperity
thereby Is furnished BY quinine. The
duty was taken off quinine, 50 that
the price was reduced from So tc
80 cents per ounce Thus Go, 5000, 00C
people obtain necessary drug 81
one-tenth its cost under the tariff
That is an almost incalculable good
But further, the number Of quinine mills
has been increased, the number OF EN-
ployes has been doubled, the output il
/ Eve times greater and wages are not re
duced but increased. The phenomen,
prevented by taking the tariff off hides
silk and quinine cannot be explained oi
the protectionist's hypothesis. Their
are thousands Of articles which can
treated similarly so that while th

sail was employed as coat maker by
Sylvester, whom she alleges began to
show silly symptoms" last September
when he paid her 90 cents more than her
wages amounted TO- Mrs. Pearsall re-
sisted and returned this costly blandish-
ment and then left the service
Of the romantic and amorons Syl-
vester The infatuated man then
began to write poetry and throw
kisses to Mrs Pearsall on the street. She
endured this In silence ana with Chris
tian resignation. But when Sylvester
called at her house and kissed
her she could stand il no longer
and brought suit for $4,000. There
il no telling how much poetry woman
may put up with or how many airy
and unsubstantional kisses may be blown
70 her from across the street but almost
every woman is disposed to draw the
line upon the actually kissed
kisses which a man calls to deliver
in person and against her will. Indeed
many women would have objected TO the
other blandishments and Mr. Sylvester
would have been called to account earlier,
but there Is no concensus among women
as to what is simply a silly symptom Of
foolish flrt and what is actual court
ship. In this case Mr.. Sylvester seems
to have stepped just beyond Mrs. Pear
sails line by an actual kiss, though that
was probably no more offensive than his
| poetry.

THE Australian ballot system which
SO many states have recently rejected
was tried at the late election ia Montana
and it proved a successful barrier to Re
publican vote buying Quay sent enough
money into this maiden state to debauch
her franchise, having assumed that ths
purchase Of votes would not be more
costly than In Indiana. but he was
previously disappointed. The antipodal
electoral system bafiied the blocks Of

the Republican majority Of 5000 has
been wiped out and the Democrats have
carried the state except for the Repre-

A Sensible view OF the ra1 Receipt ouss-


The Republican press Of this state is
making great deal of fuss about the
course of the Wilmington collectors of
county taxes in regard to the refusal to
issue tax receipts to any but the taxables
themselves This is not only proper but
legal The Republican politicians pur-
pose to pay the poll taxes Of certain inn
pecunious taxables in "blocks Of five
ten or twenty, and obtain the receipts
thereof and then hold them until the
day OF the election. This is done for the
purpose Of compelling the voters, whose
taxes the receipts represent, to vote as
they direct or else not vote at all. Yet
these same politicians are constantly cry
ing out against Democratic interference
with the freedom of the ballot The tax
receipt is the voters credential that en-
titles him to vote. Now if some Republi-
can partisan holds 1t and declines to de-
liver it to the voter unless he puts into
the ballot box the ticket he gives him,
then he virtually deprives him Of his
right to choose, which is the very essence
Of the right Of suffrage. This no doubt
is one OF the agencies by which Mr. Hig.
/ gins proposes to carry Delaware next fall.
| Though protesting great zeal for the
purity and freedom of the ballot he il
| trying in every way that his shallow anG
devilish ingenuity can devise, to corrnpi
and degrade it. When he fails in thu:
cheating and defrauding voters OF tn,
elective franchise he proposes to use tn,
potency Of money obtained from the ricl
manufacturers and monopolists Of tn,
country and pay them back by bis vote
ia the United States Senate in favor o
their predatory schemes and devices.
Mr.. Higgins and his supporters may a
well come to the conclusion now as an,
other time that the people Of the Stat
can neither be bought nor cheated out 0
their rights. We think that the cours
adopted by the Wilmington collectors
right and should be adopted by all tn

In an American flag. and the flag was so

we went in and walked around. We
looked at everything. and then we came
out and we took off the American flag

ONE Of the delegates TO the American
Congress talking 70 correspondent in
Washington said:
You people have no idea Of the amount
of money the South American people pay
for freight, and most of it goes into
English and German companies. On the
west coast. especially in Lima, Peru, the
1tslians are largely in the majority, 80
far as the foreign element is concerned,
and naturally they import most Of their
goods from Italy But this is only one
place where they are in the majority.
The English and Germans control the
balance Of trade and charge just what
they please.
The policy Of the United States has
been to confirm these states in carrying
on their trade with Europe. The claim
has been that we needed only the HON,
market and that the manufacturer
should have the privilege Of squeezing

their own avarice. They in turn we're &

THE Johnstown disaster occurred on
May 81 Immediately there WAS gen
erous enthusiasm for giving m oney to
assist the sufferers almost unprecedented.
The disaster was over.estimated and the
suffering was exaggerated so that the
money subscribed was not distributed
Immediately and the thrifty Pennsylva-
mans began TO use It to make money. The
greater part of$2, 600, 000has been retained
by the persons composing the commission
appointed by Governor Beaver. Instead
of Fastening TO distribute the money for
the relief Of those to whom $50 -four
months ago would have been equivalent
TO $500 now, these commissioners have
expended their time dawdling about
methods Of book keeping and in making
useless statistics The people are shiv-
ering now while the interest
drawing commissioners discuss var.
ious visionary methods Of dis
tribution. There is something radi-
caIly wrong in Pennsylvania methods.
The rich manufacturers, aud the officials
who represent them, have become 50
accustomed TO the indirect method Of
taking care Of workingmen by the tariff
route that they apply it universally. It
is the method Of allowing the poor dog Of
a workingman thecrumbs which fall from
the rich mans table AS by the tariff
route. the funds are in the hands
Of the rich men, and II the Johnstown
sufferer does not die Of hunger and cold
he may contemplate the ease and luxury
with which the man, who really gets the
money, lives. That is the way with the
tariff The workman strikes and starves
while the rich manufacturer holds the
money in trust for him.
