While every line of business is
furnishing such facts as these what
becomes of prominent reform
apostles contention that our tariff
enhances the prices to consumers
of articles imported and subject to
duty by precisely the sum paid for
such dnties?" In 1889 we imported
more than $2O,000,O 900 value of iron
and steel manufactures, not includ-
ing tin plates, which we do not
manufacture. With prices so nearly
equal here and in Europe, who be-
lieves that these could have been
bought for forty per cent. less
money in the absence of the tariff !?
IL would require very little more
creduiity to believe that in the alb
sence of tariff on cotton goods
English manufacturers would give
us our oalicoes. Monroe Sentinel.

Business Facts VS. Free Trade
Theories.

Just now the advocate of free
foreign trade finds it especially diff
cult to uphold the claim that a pro-
tective tariff is tax to be paid by
those who buy the products of the
protected industry. The facts stand
out in contradiction of his theory in
figures so plain that he who runs
can read them.
With steel rails on which there IS
tariff of SIT per ton, selling at
the same price in the United States
as in England; while United States
manufacturers, Notwithstanding
their protection by tariff averag-
ing forty per cent, are selling TO
Canada eighty per cent. of her
hardware and machinery; with .
suit of good seryiceable clothes
selling a. low in Chicago or New
York as IN London, notwithstanding
the tariff on wooiens equal TO htty
per cent. advalorem; with some
lines of cotton goods selling for no
more than the tariff charged on
similar imported fabrics; with an
EXPORT trade Of more than $23,OO0,-
Geo worth of lumber and manu-
features from wood in 1883, not
withstanding the s. per thousand
feet tariff on the former aud thirty
five per cent. Oh the latter; with all
these there comes an array Of facts
beside which the threadbare specu-
latious of the theorist seem Is but
hill Of sand.

MI. Blaine'S Triumph.

Mr.. Blaine has achieved a triumph
of diplomacy in effecting conven-
ton for a new extradition treaty
between her Britannia Majesty's
government and that of the United
States. The Bayard-West conven-
ton failed of approval in the Senate
because of It's last clause, which was
thought by many to be susceptible
of Interpretation into acquisceuce in
the demand of Great Britain for the
eXtradition of persons charged with
political crime. Mr.. Blaine has per
suaded Sir Julian Pauncefote to
omit this clause and to add others
which increase the number of ex-
traditable crimes.
The Bayard-W Test convention
added only mauslaughter, burglary,
enlightenment, or larceny to the
value of $50, and "malicious injuries
to property whereby the life of any
person shall be endangered" to those
covered by the existing treaty. The
Blaine-Pauncefote convention leaves
out the last mentioned as being
liable to perversion for political
purposes, but retains the other three,
and adds to them:
ENLIGHTENMENT, larceny, obtaining
money, goods, or valuable securities
by false pretenses, or receiving prop
eity of any kind, knowing it TO
have been embezzled, stolen, or
frauduIentIy obtained.
Fraud by bailee, banker, agent,
factor, trustee, or director of any
company.
Perjury or subornation of perjury.
Manslaughter, counterfeiting, rape,
abduction, child-stealing, kidnapping,
burglary, house-breaklng, shop.
breaking, piracy, revolt or conspir.
acy to revolt against the captains of
vessels at sea, crimes against laws
for the suppression of the slave
trade.
This places twenty-four new
crimes in the extradition treaty, and
closes Canada as a harbor of refuge
to twenty-four classes of American
criminals.
The treaty convention is SO excel
lent as to gain the praise of the
generally critical New York Times.
Mr.. Blaine has achieved the first
memorable diplomatic triumph
gained by the United States for
many year. 1t is not to be doubted
that the convention will be approved
by the Senate.-Inter Ocean.

How to Make Good Americans.

The Beloit Free Press makes some
remarks on the Bennett law which
are well worth repeating:
The "Bennett law" is intended to
enforce three things: First. Every
child between the ages of and Ia
years must attend some school for
at least twelve consecutive weeks of
each school year, said period to be
designated by the school board. On
account of poverty, precocity, inca
pacity, or other good reason, power
is give the county judge to issue a
release from the requirements of
this law Second. a school, in the
eyes of the law, is defined to be
only such as those in which reading,
arithmetic, geography and United
States history are taught in the Eng
Hsh language. This is the clause
which has been most condemned,
strange as it may seem to any
American who was not blinded by
partisanship.
Third. No child under l3 years
of age is to be hired to labor for any
person, firm or factory. However,
children over ten years of age may
be hired if the necessity can be
proved to the county judge, who
will then issue permit to the par.
ent or guardian; said permit to be
given to the employer, who will post
it where it may be seen by any pc
lice officer, school officer, or teacher.
These seem to be the chief fea
lures of chapter $40. There are a
few minor points which will repay
any one for carefully reading the
entire law.
Not long ago the state superb
tendent gave his official opinion that
the law is mandatory in requiring
school boards to designate the
period during which the attendance
of pupils shall be consecutive
! Without doubt, Beloit suffers less
from the neglect of school priv
leges than do many other commu
mites; but even here there seems &c
be chance for improvement. In
accordance with the duty thus laic
upon them our school board has
designated the twelve weeks begin
ming with Monday, January 81, as
the period during which all children
between aud 10 years of age shall
attend some school.

WASHING TON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON. LannnrY 81.


WASHINGTON. January 81, 1890
Speaker Reed has fully demon
strated his ability to control the
House no matter how turbulent the
minority may try to be. When the
democrats began to fllibuster by
refusing to vote on the motion Of
Representative Daizell to take up
the contested case of Smith VS..
Jackson in order to break quorum,
be took the bull by the horns and
instructed the clerk to enter the
names Of the democratic members
present az not voting, and then
declared a quorum present. This
raised AS great a row for awhile as
was ever seen in the House; mem
bers stood upon the chairs and desks
and yelled themselves hoarse, but
above all the din stood the com
handing figure of the Speaker,
quietly giving his reasons, and they
were good ones, for making the
decision. He only followed the
example Of Governor Hill when he
presided over the state senate of
New York, and of a democratic
Speaker in the Legislature of Ten
nessee. Mr.. Reeds action is gen
orally commended by republicans,
though there are a few who think
the precedent dangerous one.
Among the Presidential nomina-
tons this week was that of ex Rep
resentative Guenther, to be u, 5.
Consul General to Mexico. The
Senate Immediately confirmed Mr..
Gueuther's nomination. Ex-senator
Bruce was also renominated to be
Recorder of Deeds for this District.
Senator Morrill, introduced Secre-
tary WINDOWS silver bill in the
Senate, and asked that it be referred
to the committee on finance, which
was done. Senator Teller is head
ing . vigorous fight against this
bill. lie made an argument before
the House committee having it in
charge, and in it ne used some very
strong language.
The House having passed the
resolution ordering the committee
on civil service to investigate the
civil service commission, that com
mittee will hold meeting Monday
to decide when the music shall
begin.
The district-tax bill, which was
vetoed by Mr.. Cleveland, has again
passed the Senate. There were ON.
ly seven dissenting votes, two re-
publicans-Messrs. Berry, Call
Coke, Vance and Vest. 1t may
safely be regarded As one of the
certainties of the session that this
bill will pass the House and become
T.. law. 1t will take $2O,0o0,o0o out
of the U. 5. treasury.
The Senate committee on elections
has set February Is as the date to
begin hearings in the Montana
cases. 1t is regarded as almost Ger
tain that the two republicans will be
seated, though a few careful folks
believe that none Of them will be
seated because none of them have
fully complied with the law as to
credentials.
The House military committee
has reported favoraby on the bill TO
retire Gen. ]. c. ("Pathhuder' }

Shall the Majority Rule.


This vital question is before the
House of Representatives in Con-
gress and is before the country. A
Republican candidate for Congress
in one Of the Wese Virginia dis
tricts was duly elected. The re-
turns made by a Democratic can
wasting board showed that he was
elected. A "hold-over" Democratic
Governor, usurping the Office to
which Governor Nathan Golf was
elected, gave the certificate of cleo
tion--not to the Republican reported
by a Democratic returning board as
| having been elected-but to a Dem
ocratic candidate who was defeated
at the polls as shown on the face Of
the returns. Subsequent inyestiga-
! ton showed that the canvass of the
votes giving the Republican candi-
date a majority was lawful and
correct. 1t was on che question Of
giving the seat to the man who was
elected, instead of confirming it in
the possession Of the thief who had
stolen it, that the struggle in the
House was precipitated. The House
has no rules, none having been
adopted, and the question il one
merely of common parliamentary
law-the rules Of common sense and
of law and order-that should con
troll all deliberative bodies
A perverse Democratic minority
undertook TO block proceedings on
this question one day last week by
refusing to vote, but Speaker Reed
proved himself equal to the occa-
sion. A quorum Of the House
consists Of 100 members. Only 1874
members voted, but there were over
hundred Democratic members
present but silent, Speaker Reed,
noting the Democrats present but
not voting, called their names, rec
ognized them in their seats, and
declared that quorum of the House
was in attendance. Instantly a
dozen or two men, who had claimed
but n few moments before that they
were theoretically absent, sprang to
their feet and demanded that they
should be considered as corporeally
absent. The monstrous absurdity
is apparent. A man claiming to be
absent and not voting arises in his
seat to declare that he is an absentee
and that to count him as present is
revolutionary" Nothing like it
ever before occurred in body like
Congress nor in the parliament of
any civilized nation. If man is
there, he is there. He can not be
1 personally present and constructive
| ly absent
A Washington correspondent for
a Democratic newspaper says that II
! Speaker Reed shall hold to his
ruling, and that if he claims that an
actual quorum present in his own
knowledge constituted a lawful
quorum, the Democratic members
of the House will secede in 4 body,
That was tried in 1861. The Dem
ocrats, if they are wise, will not
again try the unfortunate expert
ment.
That the majority shall rule is the
only safeguard of a republican form
OF government

THERE is no country in all Europe
that has a more perfect school sys-
tern than Germany, and the chief
feature of it is compulsory attend
ance. This will account for the
fact that there is less illiteracy IN
Germany than in other great nations
in the world, not excepting the
United States. The latest reports
show that the percentage Of Hitter
acy in England ia 33; in France so;
in Russia 81; in China 80; in Aus
tria 40; in Mexico 70; in the United
States %; and in Germany II. In
this country the illiteracy of 20 per
cent is largely due to the late slave
population Of the south.
