Figures That Mean Something.

Give me some eviden 70 that Pre-
lection has cheapened the price of ar
ticles to the Masses" remarked a
Free Tradper yesterday to the Ne
trOpoliS. II want figures"
Well. you shall have them. Here
are some truthful contrasts of the
prices of articles from 1880 to 1890
under the' protective Tariff. Read
and jndge fer yourself:
The self.hinding reaper, which
sold for 1915 in 1880. is suld for Sl3O
in 1890 The seeder. which cost S35
in 1880. isi worth. but Sl3 in 1891.
Pu,nps:which:were wortI, Sl5 in 1880
sell vt S6.in 1890. Like reductions
are notsl,ie iss nearly all thincs Used
I'M againnltnra worlss Barb wire,
whirh cot 10 cents nei. pDund iA
1870, sells for 4 cents to-day. Win
dow glass, of the duty on which
Free Traders complain s0 tiercelY, is
cheaper 10y % per cent, than 1t was
ton years ago. The "tn.rup," of
the duty on which the Frrn.TraderS
complain, j. now worth 5 cents,
against 10 in 1880. Chains which used
10 sell for - cents per pruud now
sell for II, aud even zinc, about "the
trust" on which we hear so much,
sells at 10 cents per pound. against 10
cents in 1880.
Coming to matters which Interest
city folks as we'll as country folks,
the MettOpolis finds that the same
grade of sugar which the merchant
sold for 12B cents per pound in 1880
is now offered At 7 cents !; that viii h
sOId AT 10 pow costs a fraction more
than I. Kerosene oil was worth p
cents d gallon in 1880, and is worth %
in 1890. Salt!9old for s. - per bar
rel then, and sells for 81 % now.
Flour Wa- worth 81 so per 100 pounds
then, and is worth S2.50 Low. Oddly
enough, and we ask Free-Trader| to
consider the oddity, the only two
groceries in the price ..0f which M
change is observable are coffee aud
tea, both of which are on the free
iiSt. The articles affected by 1.-THE
Tariff universally have cheapened,
the two things unaffected by Tariff
nave not cheapenpd. The parrots
which prate Tariff is robbery"
should pause a mOrient and consider
this peruiarity of ''rohbpry" which
makes the things of which the public
is "fohbed" cheaper and more pienli
ful than the things Of which they are
not "rubbed." But the parrots are
not capable Of reasoning; prating Is
their specially, and they will keep on
prating "the Tariff is tax" "the
Tariff is robbery" Now, this is
worth thinking about. If articles are
cheapeucd under protection. then our
people should indorSe il, and not let
"A foolish sentiment prevent them
from doing so. If it does not benefit
the breadwinner. then we don't want
it. That's all.

A New Charter Deoeption.

That the New Charter gang does
not mean honestly by the city is
shown by the shifting and juggling
chat has taken place over the Water
Departments accounts. The story is
told in our news columns today.
One of the strong pleas that was
made in favor of the New Charter
was that it would provide a proper
check upon the accounts of the Water
Registrar-Of course it will be under
stood that in these remarks no asper-
sions are meant upon the present IN
cumbent of the oflce-it being ad-
mitted that the old system was lax
and dangerous in the superlative de-
gree.
But even the Charter itself was dis
honest on this point. 1t did not
really create the pretended safeguard.
1t only provided that, if the Board OF
Finance saw fit, it might establish
proper systems of accounts. In other
words, as soon as one branch OF the
Cleveland ogencamp ring chooses,
the other branch will be compelled to
adopt reasonable business methods.
The best commentary on such a
plan of legislation is that we have
lived under the ''beneficent" sway OF
of the Charter for over twelve months
now, and the Water Department
finances are still managed nnder the
same old irresponsible, happy-go.
lucky, take-your-chances plan as be
fore.
We are sick of the New Charter
with it's hollow mockery of reform
We do not say that the law was bad
in itself. Indeed, in some respects il
was a very good charter, but admin
istered by the worst man who eve
held a public office in Jersey City
an utterly hardened old corrup
zionist, it has brought about
more disastrous state of things thai
prevailed even under the big -Four.
Let us hope the next Legislature viii
take the matter in hand, legislate tn
whole gang of plunderers out of office
and give the people of this ~unfortun
ate city a new chance of life.
