1t seems that a great many wage
workers are fearful that the removal of the
tariff will effect wages and lower them to a
level with those of free-trade England. If
protection has anything to do with the regu-
lation of wages in this or any other country
then we fail to see it. unless it is to lower
them. In Germany, the greatest protective
country in the world, her wage-workers are
as lily paid as any we know of. Undoubted-
ly the demand for labor always fixes the
prices, unless interfered with by a, tifcial
means. The reason why many of our skilled
artisans command as good wages as they do
is found in the fact that their particular
trades are thoroughly organized more than in
that of a protective tariff.-Dayton Work

w-The Cincinnati Enquirer correspon-
dent gives the following pen picture of Sena-
tor John Ryan:
Senator John Ryan is farmer in the very
prime of vigorous manhood, firm and some
what stern visaged, with dark hair, eyes and
complexion, and wears a mustache and
small imperial. One has only to look at him
to see that when he has an opinion he does
not let goof it except for a good and suf
ficient reason. He was born in Franklin on
the 18th day of January, 1874, and has been
connected with agricultural pursuits all of
his civil life. He enlisted as private SOL
dier in company H. Sixty-eighty o. V. L.,
when he was II years of age, and made a
good soldier. Afterward he became captain
of company G, Ninety eighth o. V. l., in
which capacity he served with distinction
and credit until the date of his muster out,
when he again returned to the arts of peace
and the pleasures of bucolic pursuits, and is
the proprietor of fine farm at Whitehouse,
Lucas comfy. He received his education in
the common Schools and though lacking the
collegiate polish, he has all that is practical
and useful at his command. He will not
make many speeches but he can be relied up
on to vote right. For six years he was one of
the commissioners of Lucas county, and
when the Democrats of the Thirty third
district elected him to the Sixty -nineth
Senate, in November, 1889, he resigned his
Office to accept the Senatorship.

Disruption in Indiana
[From the Fort W ayne News, Rep.l

From the Fort Wayne News, Rep.l
1t has been known for some time that be-
tween Governor Hovey and President Harri-
son not the pleasantest political relationship
has been enjoyed. President Harrison is
out of the State, at Washington, and Cover
nor Hovey is at home on the field. At pres
ent the contest between the Harrison and
Hovey political followers, is exceedingly ex-
citing, especially at some of the Republican
caucuses in the northern part of the State.
Among some politicians, who are practically
not in the swim, it is coniectu ed that the
Governor has Presidential aspirations and
desires to fight for supremacy in Indiana.
This seems to be improbable from the fact
that letter was received from the southern
part of the State, in this city to-day, which
is very pertinent to the points at issue. The
letter comes from near the Governors g
home, and is addressed to prominent
politician of this district. The letter
is strictly confidential, and informs the
Fort Wayne politician that Gov. Hovey Is
ready to receive endorsements from any of
the political cauCuses which may be held in
Allen county this week, and that printed reso-
lutions of endorsements will be forwarded Oh:
application. The sample endorsement sent
reads, "for Vice. President" and the writer
believes in "blowing the horn loud and
long"
This Vice. Presidential boom for Governor
Hovey is. no doubt, brought about to kill the
President second term aspirations, and the
fight in Indiana for supremacy may enger-
der some bitter political strifes.

more in the military or naval service during

lasts. Persons receiving pensions under ex-
listing laws may receive the benefits of this
act and nothing in this act shall be construed
as to prevent any pensioner Hereunder from
prosecuting his claim and receiving pension
under any other general or special act, pro
vided that no person shall receive more than
one pension for the same period, and pro-
vided that rank in service shall not be con-

Don't Know What the Trouble Is.
The Scientific american says:

The Scientific american says:
mo other country in the world can
manufacture such excellent tools and
machinery as the United States, and in
no other country are the prices for high
grade articles of that kind lower than
they are in the United States.
Yet Of the So, $4,000 worth of tools
ard machinery that the South Ameri-
can republic of Chilli purchased in 1888,
only $2l1 900 worth, or less than one
tenth of the whole, was purchased of us.
More than $4,000, 900 worth was pur-
chased from England. Germany and
France.
On such a showing as this, is there
not something manifestly wrong some
where? Ought not our manufacturers
and merchants to make more of an effol
to obtain this trade than they have
done? 1t would seem to be the best
foreign market open to u.s."
The Scientific american isa nonpar-
tizan paper, and its editors give little
attention to the study of political econ
omy, or they would know that there
was but one thing to do, and that is to
reduce the tariff, so that Americans can
go into the shipping business, and so
that South Americans can exchange
their commodities for ours without be-
ing robbed.

Government Env elopes.

A few weeks ago we referred to govern
ment printing envelopes, and the injustice to
the private printer and publisher.
Remember we are not kicking on honest
competition, but on the government, which
is supported by tax on the whole people,
stepping in and doing work which by right
belongs to the job printer, and doing it at
loss, and this loss made up from the general
funds of the government.
The Newspaper Union, in commenting up
on this subject, remarks:
SIT is to the interest of every printing es-
tablishment in the country that something
be done to stop the government from print
Uncle Sam to ran clothing, dry goods, gro
cery or hardware store as it is to sell printed
envelopes, and would have no more depres-
sing effect upon the above business than it
has upon the printing business"
How long would the merchants consent
for the government to open a general store IN
every town in the country and sell goods at
absolute cost, and paying the wages of the
man who waited upon the people out of the
funds raised by general tax How long
| would it be before every customer whose
trade is worth having would be trading at
the government store, and the private mer-
| chant dribbling out his goods to people who
wanted such small quantities that the gov
eminent would not bother with?
lnlS lb dDOub Utl6 COHulJlOH VI Ln6 envelope
business with the average printer.
From the annual report of the third as
s1stant P. M. G.. for the year ending June 30
1888. we learn that the government printed
1876, ,629, ,250 envelopes during the preceding
year, which is 100000 greater than those
sold plain.
In this area of protection, we say, let every
printer in the United States inform his con-
gressman and Senator that he is entitled to
protection from a competition compared
with which the pauper labor of Europe is not
to be compared. Let us ask that the govern
ment be restrained from printing them for
less than enough to pay good return on
the work, or what is better, be enjoined from
doing printing for private individuals at any
price.
| There is another injustice connected with
| this business The contractors who have
the government envelopes to make are en-
abled to monopolizs the whole business,
while other parties find their goods drug on
| the market. .
Justice to all, demands that this abuse cease
at once.-The Manson, (Iowa). Journal.
This is a matter deserving the attention of
all fair-minded congressman. tits not only
the printer, but thousands of stationers in
the country are sufferers by this government
competition.

rsy-The beauty of our system of war taxes

rW The beauty of our system of war taxes
is illustrated by the decision of the supreme
court in the eat ribbon case. An executive
order increased the duties from 20 to SO per
cent. The court decides this to have been
illegal. But in the meantime, the government
has taken from the merchants of New York,
Philadelphia and Boston Sc, 10000 to which
it was not entitled under the law. The su-
preme court now says that the money must
be restored. Brother Wanamaker comes in
for big slice. But the customers of these
merchants-the women who bought the rib
bons-have paid the increased price for the
goods-in other words, the $6,500,00O and
profit on it-and they will not have the bene-
fit of the refunding. The consumer is al
ways the victim under our present tariff
laws. A similar result is expected when the
worsted case is reached in the supreme court.
The importers will get the benefit of the re-
turn of the money. Not cent will go to
consumers, who, in reality, paid the tax.

The question Is being considered by
the Government of the enlargement Of
the Illinois and Michigan Canal, con-
Meeting the Chicago river with the H.
linois and Mississippi rivers, and thus
opening a channel navigable by large
steamers. Such q canal would be of
great advantage commercially to large
section Of country, aud would be of in
estimable local value to Chicago In the
solution OF its sewerage problem. The
estimated cost of the work is SIS, ,00O. 900.
IL IS curious fact that the opening of
an outlet OF the Lakes by way Of the
Mississippi would be only partial re-
turn to the condition of things in the
pre-glacial period of the world when,
geologists tell US, the waters Of Lakes
Huron, Superior and Michigan found
their way down the valleys of the riv-
ers Des PLANES, Illinois and Mississippi
to the Gulf of Mexico, while Lakes Erie
and Ontario alone fed st. Lawrence.
The huge glaciers which overspread the
whole Mississippi valley as far south as
the Ohio, left behind them a sediment
that obstructed the natural lake outlet
near Chicago and turned the current of
the three western lakes toward the
river st. Clair and into Lake Erie.
The proposal is to make a canal that
will allow 300, 900 cubic feet of water
per minute to pass down from Lake
Michigan to the Mississippi. One OBJ
lection raised against this scheme is
that itwould lower the water In the
lakes, but the effect produced in this
way would not be appreciable. 1t
would take nearly twelve years to lower
the level of the three great lakes by one
foot, even If the flow of water over the
st. Clair flats should continue as great
as at present, but, In fact, as soon as the
level of the lakes began to be lowered
the flow of water down the Detroit
River would be lessened, and that
river could spare 100000 cubic feet a
minute without missing 1t much.-N.

A bridge is being built across the
Ohio river between Louisville and JEFF
fersonville. In the construction of
thess bridges it is necessary to employ
what are called "caissons' in making
the excavations at the bottom of the
river for the foundations of the piers.
These caissons are simply huge boxes
sunk in the river, out of which the
water is pumped so that men can go
down and work in them-first to make
the required excavations at the bottom
of the river, and afterward to build up
the masonry of the piers. Eighteen
men were working in one of these cais-
sons one day last week, for the bridge
aforementioned, when it suddenly
collapsed, drowning all of them but
four.
