scnrsl nd nLAlNE AGAIN.

Mr.. GAEL ScuUrz LAS made a rejoinder
TO Mr.. BuAiNE'~ Ohio speech. which we
regret we have not the space to publish
for Mr.. Scuurz is an exceptionally log
Teal clear and forcible speaker, and
spesks from conviction. He totally
disproves by the bare facts OF history
Mr.. BrArNr's attempt TO explain away
what ne says On his Twenty Years OF
Congress" regarding The prosperity OF
the country under the Walker tariff OF
lSi6. There was not much else in Mr..
Blainc's speech that called for reply
will Dee remembered that before
Mr.. BLAINE reached McKINLEN'S dis
trict Gov. HIT. who spoke there Sus-
gested TO the farmers that they ask Mr..
BLAINE what he meant when he said IN
his letter 90 Senator FRYE;
..There is not a section or line in the en-
tire Mckinley Tariff bill that WAL open a
market for another bushel OF Wue@l OK "n-
other barrel OF pork
shortly after that Mr. BLAINE spoke
there. He made no reference 20 the
foregoing declaration made by him In
criticism Of the bin, and the only part
NJ the bin that he attempted TO defend
was the sa-called reciprocity section-a
section that was forced upon The House
bv the Senate against the wishes OF Mr..
MCKINNEY. lie uttered not another
word FIN commentator OF the bin; not
oven 81 the home OF its author did he
deny that he has been am adverse critic
of the measure. Under the circum-
stances what Mr.. BLAtNE did not say
at Canton is far more significant than
what ne did say.
OfNlr. Bt>lNr's alleged reciprocity
scheme Mr.. SuURz has this TO say;
n tells foreign countries that. unless they
admit certain products OF ours tree, we
shall nut duties upon their sugar ana thelr
hides They know as well AS we do that we
mood their SUGAR for our consumption ana
fheir hides 70 keep our leather industries
and Shoe factories proftab.y running. To
threaten them. if they DO not admit our
products. with depriving our people OF
rheap SUGAR. and with shutting UP our
shoe shops-that, unless they show US
nieasant faces, we shall punish them by

offer OF reciprocity; il looks more Ike bad

people

HERETOFORE We have had for the
Hon. JONI W MASON a very high re-
gard. We did not believe him capable
of doing anything unbecoming a public
official, such as prostituting the Inter
nal Revenue Bureau TO partisan politi-
cal uses. The REGISTER is sincerely
sorry that it is compelled to change its
former high opinion of Mr.. JOHN
w. Mason. In the First district
We have had ocular proof that the
charges against him and his
administration, contained dispatch
from Washington published in this
mornings REGISTER, are true, so far as
this district is concerned, and with Mr..
W. l.. WusoN'S positive statement and
Mr.. MASoN'S own letter to Republican
editors before us, we have sufficient
proof that an that is charged against
him is true, elsewhere in the State. He
has, 10 seems, turned the Internal Rev
enue bureau into a partisan political
machine, has sent the governments en-
ployes to oyer-run the State and cleo
tioneer for the Republican party, and
has disgraced President HAEEIsoN's ad-
miniStratiOn.

HIGHER PRICES FOR HARDWARE.

HIGHER PRICES FOR HARDWARE.
The hardware department Of the
Iron Age rings with advances in the
price Of goods.
The reports from various cities open
with a brief editorial review of the sit
uation which includes this statement
prices on imported goods have general
~ been advanced In accordance with the
provisions Of the new tariff, and there is a
disposition on the part OF American manu-
facturers % advance their competing
lines"
FOSTER * ROBERTSON, of Portland,
Ore, report that several sharp adj
vanceS have been made in solder, pig
lead, bar lead. and shot, that there
is a strong disposition 10 advance the
price Of tin plate" and that "there
has been a very general advance on
stamped and pieced tinware, prices now
ranging about 10 per cent. above quota
tionS OF two weeks ago"
The Supplee Hardware Company, Of
Philadelphia, announces that PETER
WRlGHr's anvils have advanced / cent
per pound, that new list ON halter
chains has been adopted, and that:
son domestic goods clothes wriugers
have advanced in price. All kinds of tim
ware has advanced, aud there is "a stifen-
ing In the price Of Eastern carriage bolts.
Saws that have heretofore been sold at net
prices have advanced, aud the cheaper
grade of table knives and forks has ad-
vanced about so cents per gross
The Iron Age editorially notes that.
owing TO the increased duty ON firearms,
the American manufacturers of the
lower grades as well as Of the better
goods are advancing their quotations,
aud that the market shows an advance
Of from . 20 10 per cent In regard 10
cutlery the journal contradicts a report
current I'm the daily press that JoSErH
RopcEEs ~ Sons are anticipating q
withdrawal from the American market.
las it is not thought the Increased cost
Of their goods will result ia serious
diminution Of their sale. It says
The new duties viii add something 10
the price of the goods, but as they have
sold on their reputation and quality IL IS
presumed that there will still oe demand
FOR them"
New price lists of GEORGE Wo>rEN-
uoINlE * Sous cutlery. NEEpHAN
Bios cutlery, and WADE * BUTCHER
razors are also announced. The Iron
Age also prints a new price list OF Ger
man coil aud halter chains, which are
used principally by farmers. This list
IS signed by five New York firms and
was rendered necessary boy an uneven
advance caused by the form i'm which
the new duty is imposed. Another new
price list required by the revision OF du-
ties which the Iron Age prints is that
.of JouN WILSON'S butcher knives.
People who declare there has been mo-
advance I'm prices should refrain from
consulting the Iron Age. the organ OF
the iron and steel trade.

To he Editor Of The Register.
SIR:-There is much food for refec-
ton in the journal Of the House OF Del
egates for 1852, and some which will
require considerable sauce before it can
be swallowed by the voters and taXpay-
ers of the city Of Benwood. lrefer to
Mr.. Hubbard'S official acts while serv-
ing in the Legislature of this State,
touching House bill No. 213, bill to
incorporate the city of Benwood. On
page lOG occurs the following:
"On motion Of Mr.. Hubbard, the bill
was further amended in section 5 by in
sorting after the word taxes in line "a,
the following: The Council or other
authorities Of said city shall not have
power or authority to interfere with the
property or rights within said city OF
any railroad or manufacturing corpora
tion. nor TO interfere with the location
or construction through said city OF the
railroad of any railroad company here
tofore organized.
Now contrast with the above the fol-
lowing, which was the original draft:
The city Council or the authorities OF
said city shall not have the power to
grant the right OF way through any
street or alley to any railroad or other
corporation without the consent OF a
majority of the holders or owners OF
the property to be affected thereby,
given in writing to the Council
On page al, OF the Journal OF the
House of Delegates. referring to aeon
Sideration to the same bill, appears the
following
ION motions Of Mr.. Hubbard, sever
ally made, the bill was further amended
as follows:
in section 5, line II, strike GU. all
after the word tax" to and including
the word thereof, in line 10, and in
Sert in lieu thereof the words $50 levied
upon property for all purposes shall not
exceed fifty cents on every one hundred
dollars of the value thereof, any pro-
vision Of any other law TO the contrary
Notwithstanding"
In same section, line 40, after the
word provided" insert "but the realty
OF any such corporation as is mentioned
in this section, shall not be condemned
for any such purpose, nor shall such
corporation be compelled to curb or pave
any sidewalks, 'oot-wayS, croSS-walkS,
drains or cutters, or to pay the expense
OF such curbing or paving"
Further comment is unnecessary, than
to add that the bill as amended by Mr..
Hubbard is the law to-day.
Can any working man vote for him,
when any matter of legislation where
the interests Of corporations are con-
cerned? Does not his whole past public
career show that his corporation inter-
eStS so affect his vote that it would be a
great mistake TO intruSt him with the
important function of legiSlating for
the masses. ENQUIRER,

The Manner in Which Disaster Came To
Grow Wnr Band.
The signal codes of civilization are more
scientific than those of the savage races, but
it is an open question whether they are more
efficient, taking it as an accepted fact that
the signals are for transmission from eye to
eye, and that their efficacy does not extend
beyond the range of vision. The Esqumau
of the far north depends upon the waving of
his arms OF of u blanket to notify his friends
at distance of any important fact, such as
the finding OF n reindeer, or the need OF as
sistauce. while the American Indian, in the
old days when lie was still unsubjugated got
better results from signal fires by night or
columns OF smoke by day than from anything
else. But there was one objection to this
method of communicating intelligence, par
ticularly in hostile country. The fire or
smoke was rs plainly visible to an enemy as
to friend, ana instead Of re-cnforcements
there might come rout, in case the enemy,
