fed to the fact that comb built on fat

Good Doctrine from n Prominent Repub-
licpn with Ultra Tendencies"


iicsn "with Ultra Tendencies"
Hon. Benjamin Butterworth, of Ohio,
who defined himself as "a Republican
with ultra tendencies" has given ex-
preston TO one of the favorite truths OF
the low tariff men. The high protec-
tionists occasionally let slip such truths,
to the great delight of all advocates of
freer trade.
Tariff reformers have been Gazing for
a long time that if protection be in it.
self a good thing our different states
ought to adopt it and protect their home
enterprises against the competition of
the more favored states in the Union.
The inequality in the price of labor in
the different parts of the country affords
here ample play for the cheap labor ar
guments of the protectionists.
AS an example of this, tariff reformers
have pointed out the fact that the wages
paid in 1888 by Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, in
his blast furnace A, ut Braddock, Pa.
ran from fifty cents to 81 lower than was
paid for similar work in furnace No.
Of the Union Steel company at Chicago.
A still more startling difference was
shown in the wages of the heaters helper,
Mr.. Carnegie paying Sl.3e per 100 tons,
while the Chicago concern paid So.
Does not Illinois need a protective
tariff against ''the cheap pauper labor
of Pennsylvania?
But what does Mr.. Butterworth say?
IF the arbitrary control of competi.
ton by congress without regard to con
dition be desirable-that is, il protec-
tive tariff as a means Of limiting coIn-
petition be good in the abstract-con-
gress should at once, il it has the power
divide the United States into six divis.
ions, so that each one may get rich by
fencing out all competition"
That is what may be called "blurtin' il
out in meetin'."

That was a notable event in the his
tory Of tariff reform when recently a
large number Of Philadelphia manufac-
turers IN the late Judge Kelley's district,
who have always been Republicans and
who voted for Harrison, signed letter
asking Mr.. William NJ. Aver to become
the candidate of the tariff reformers
and the free raw materials men against

TREAT OLD PEOPLE WELL.

There is nothing in the world more pa
tlietie than the meek, timorous. shrinking
ways of certain old people-we have all
seen them-who have given up their old
homes into younger hands, and subsidized
into some out-of- the-way corner of it, to
sit by the fireside and table henc-forth as
if afraid of making trouble," afraid of
being sin the way" afraid of accepting
half that is their due, and going down to
their graves with pitifuI, deprecating air
as if constantly apologizing for staying SO
long. There is no scorn too deep and
sharp for the sons and daughters who will
accept this attitude on the part of those to
whom they owe SO much. Sometimes, to
be sure, people grow old with bad grace
They become embittered by misfortune or
affiiction, or are peevish or unreasonable
under the goad of ill-healtb. All the more
do they appeal to great gentleness and
faithfulness. Let it be borne in mind
