Bengough swamped With Applications.

Notwithsta sding the publication, in the
Grand Army column of last Sunday, of state
ment from Pension Agent Bengough relating
to the positions in his Office, the matter seems
to have been misunderstood. When given by
Comrade Bengough, the statement as pub
lished was intended to be Official.
During the past week the daily newspapers
have published a rumor to the effect that there
were to be increases in the force of the Pension
Office. AS result the Pension Agent, who was
heretofore overb9rdened WIN applications for
was completely swamped last week. Comrade
Bengoush announces officially that there will
be no increase in the force, at least for long
time There is a possibility of an increase but
it is so far in the future that it cannot yet be
sighted.

Protection Cheapens Prices.

Protection to domestic Industries
does not necessarily mean higher
prices for products, as the attorneys
for free trade would have us believe.
Its more important function is to in
sure a marker for what is made at
prices kept to the minimum by do
mestir competitor. For illustration:
Here is "A cnnpary willing to put
capital INTO - wooden mill, and To
give stead, employment 10 hundreds
of hands. and to be content with "a
small profit. if given assurance of u
market for it's goods. But if. after
purchasing 4 stock of wool from
n-ighboriny farmers. and paying out
thousands of dollars for labor, taxes,
insurance, etc, the goods have to be
sold In competition with those of
foreigners, who have paid less for
wages, ana nothing toward the sup-
port OF government, schools. etc, the
result will be that hume made fab
rics will disappear from our markets.
And they will not reappear antil the
prices of wages, and material requir-
ed are low enough in this country to
warrant competition with the cheaper
made good of foreigners
Thus IT is that Protection gives
that assurance of a market without
which no prudent man will under
take la manufacture anything at all.
This certainly enables him to give
work 10 men who, without II. would
be forced into some other calling, if
not compelled ts remain idle. The
larger the number of enterprises
promising profit, the Larger the mum
ber of competitors will be found
among capitalists, the more of these,
the greater the demand for workmen,
the larger the proportion of profits
given for wages. aud the lower the
pric. to the consumers.
Theorists all the way from Cobden
to Cleveland have contend-d that the
cost of all products was enhanced by
the amount of Tariff laid On the por
ton sent hith-r bv foreigners, but
against such blind contention there
stands the assurance OF market quo
tatioua that, in every branch Of pro
tec,cd industries. prices to consumers
are now lower, and wages to employees
are now higher, than when the ma
tlonal policy compelled dependence
upon foreign sources for the larger
proportion of manufactured articles
used by our people.

THE SENATE BLOCKADE.

Senator Hoar's cloture resolution did not
emerge from the custody of the Committee
on Rules yesterday, and the Senate sagged
along in the old style. Progress is a word
that the Senate has no use for. The Re-
publican majority seems to be awed into
apathy BY the bold attitude of the Demo-
cratic Senators, and the small band
of Republican kickers. The latter by
the way are not growing weaker as the
days roll by. Senator Teller showed his
sympathy with the minority yesterday. He
SAID he was willing the Senate should sit till
December if necessary rather than curtail
tie rights of the minority to discuss the
tariff bill. Senator Sherman was forced to
admit that the Democrats had not monop-
oily OF the waste of time. The Senator from
Ohio also showed signs of restiveness under
the threat of gag rule. All things seem to
point to the intensifying of the blockade in
the Senate. The Hoar resolution, as THE
DISPATCH pointed out yesterday, may be
delayed by precisely the same tactics used
against the tariff bill.
What is the Senate to do? Perhaps the
Hon. John james Ingalls, can say. He has
the ambition TO initiate Speaker Reed. Has
he the nerve?

ENOUGH NEW THEATERs.

When the Duquesne Theater is built, and
the work is being pushed upon it, Pittsburg
will possess three theaters of the first class,
as far as size and attractions go. Mr.. Davis
proposes to build fourth theater, the splen-
dor of which already dazzles the expectant
public. A fifth theater is to be built by
Mr.. Harry Williams, of whose ability to
conduct any amusement enterprise there can
be no doubt. Enterprising citizens of
Columbus are planning to erect a large
thester in Allegheny. There are, therefore,
six theaters in sight for this community,
taking no account of Harry Williams
Academy, Harris Theater or the museums.
The wonderful growth of Pittsburg justifes
q great increase in the opportunities for
amusement, and, the population at least, is
sufficient to support most of the theaters
new and old. The success of a theater, how
ever, depends upon more than the popula-
tion of the city; the management and ma
terial attractions of the house unit for a
great deal. Under the circumstances enough
theaters are in existence, or are shortly to be
built, to supply Pittsburg's demand. For a
little while, at all events, we can get along
without new theater projects.
