Sea Girt's Soldiers Honor New Jersey

Sea Girt's Soldiers Honor New Jerseys
Governor.
SEA GIRr, n. j., July l4.-Camp Leon
Albeit was formerly opened here yester-
day with various interesting events.
AT II o'clock the Fourth regiment of
Jersey City, Colonel =. Farmer Warn
ser commanding, reached the camp.
The regiment mustered about 275
men, and was preceded by II fine
drum and fife corps and bugle corps.
A few minutes later the Second bat
talion commanded by Lieutenant Colonel
Moore, reached the camp. The command
comprised one company from Hackensack,
one from Leonia and one from Englewood
and numbered 200 men.
Next came the first battalion, one COM
pany from Passac two from Paterson,
e2j strong, commanded by Lieutenant
Colonel Muzzy.
Next came the GatlinE Gun Company A,
Veteran Zouaves, of Elizabeth, command
I'd by Captain and Brevet General j. Mad
!son Drake, who was the first Jerseyman
to enlist in the late war
The brigade band of fifty men. under the
leadership of Professor Fred Noss, of New
ark, came in about IL o'clock. This COM
pleted the complement of the brigade, and
ut IL o'clock the formal opening of the
camp took place. 1t was christened Camp
Leon Abbett.'
In the morning what might have been a
fatal accident occurred to Surgeon Kud-
Itch, of the Second regiment, who was
thrown from his horse The horse put his
forefeet squarely on the surgeons chest,
but the latter seized the animals legs and
raised the horse from his chest.

American Immi grafton Agents in Italy.
The agents of the steamship lines cover
Italy as the locusts covered Egypt. They
paint the charms of big wages in the
United States; they often induce the
poor peasant to sell his COW and move on
the United States. In this business the
commission money Of clouds of emigrant
agents is the chief inspiration. The ship
would starve without .steerage list {;
there is large profit in handling large
numbers, and thousands of drummers for
eInigrants swarm over Italy, and their
fruit is in the 5000 Italians who, in one
week Of the recent spring, cut loose from
the life Of the Italian peasantry to try
chances in the United States. Many more
applied in the spring of 1890 than the
ships could carry.
There is n factor in italian emigration
which is larger and more important than
perhaps any other European factor of its
class. allude to the devotion Of nation
ality. The Irishman loves Ireland. the
Englishman loves England, and the Ger
man loves Germany, but more intense
than any of these loyalties is the devotion
of the Italian to his ancient and now
United States. This sentiment is as pro-
found among the peasantry as among any
class, and nothing but the most pressing
poverty would drive the Italian people in
such numbers from their native land.
Hence, when they have made few dol
lars in the United States beyond the pres
ent wants they hasten to their old homes.
They love to spend their savings in Italy !;
it seems to them almost a sacrilege to
spend them elsewhere. AS Chinaman's
bones can never rest or his spirit be free
until his mortal remains are celcstially
inferred, so an Italian PEASANTS dollars
seem to bring him real peace only when
they are spent in the place where he was
born. The returning legions amaze the
home people of Italy with their financial
resources; for men who never had dol
lar look on bT5 as rich reserve, and 800
is wealth. These returned emigrants
flourish about their native Italian towns
and set their neighborhoods afiame with
a desire to see the land where even the
shovel and the pick are transformed into
gold Consul Dingley's report from the
Naples Consulate.

Three Young Men Toss Up for the
Right to Court n Girl.

Right to Court n Girl.
A wedding is announced between two
well known young people of Des Moincs.
There is an interesting story connected
with the event, and it would be unfair TO
call names.
Four years ago the prospective bride.
then quite young, was receiving the at
tention of three gentlemen. They, too.
were young, little more than boys. and
just entering upon the different lines of
work which they had adopted for life.
Two of them, indeed were still stu
dents. Matters ran along without much
change with the four for some time
They each understood the situation.
Nothing in the girls manner indicated
any preference. The three boys were
the best of friends, although the situa-
tion was such as to strain their relations
little.
Finally the three met one day by acci-
dent. In some way the young lady's
name was brought up, and after con-
sideration it was decided to match pen
nies to see who should withdraw from
the contest. 1t was stipulated that the
winner should be in honor bound to de-
vote himself exclusively to the young
lady in the future, and to win her hand
if possible. The losers from that moment
were to withdraw from the race COM
pletely. The losers We're further pledged
to act as guardian brothers to the young
lady and see that the winner carried on
no flirtatons with other girls.
The contracts were carried out to the
letter. and the girl was never told why
two Of her admirers so suddenly retired.
And 20, after these years, she is at last
to become the wife of him whom luck
favored in game Of chance. Both are
still young and the gentleman is prosper
ing in business.
OF the losers in the contest, one adopted
a trade and is married. The other EN-
tered upon professional career. He is
unmarried and his name would be recog-
nized, were it mentioned, all over the
Western city.-[Des Moines Leader.

The Tariff a Tax.

The tariff is a tax on foreign goods
that enables the manufacturer here to
put a tax on domestic goods and rob
the people to the extent of such tax
1t is a tax that compels the laboring
man to pay more for all he wears and
uses. while he has to compete with
the whole world with his labor. 1t
is O tax that enables the manufactur-
er to run his factory as long as the
trust wishes them, shut down for three
or four months, crying over-produc.
ton, compelling his employees to re.
main idle. 1t is a tax that enables a
few men to restrict the supply of
goods and keep up prices. 1t is tax
rightly levied to support the Govern.
ment, and for any other purpose
wrong. 1t is tax condemned by
the American people when levied for
any other object than revenue. The
tariff is a tax that snatches the last
crust of bread from the mouth of
famine and gives it to the Andrew
Carnegiea Of this lapd.-Saginaw

The officers of the Tin-Plate Con-
sumers Association Of the United
States have published list Of the
members of the association, and with
it few remarks. The list includes
more than $50 corporations and firms.
among these being the most prominent
packers and Gamers in the country.
The officers and directors say:
"Our position is not one of antagon-
ism to the establishment of the tin
plate industry in America. If the
industry can be transferred to our
country within reasonable time and
without damage to our business and
the hundreds of thousands of Ameri-
can workmen employed in our factor
les, giving us as cheap raw material
as we obtained before the increased
tax was levied on it, we realize we
will be the greatest benefciaries, and,
therefore, naturally most anxious for
its success. Our desire is, if possible,
to transfer the question from one Of
politics to one Of business. It is
matter Of business that since the Nc
Kinley bill was passed we have had
to pay oyer s10,000,000 more for the
tin plates we use In our factories and
workshops, and that the present duty
will add every wear over S16 ,000,00
to the cost of our raw material. 1t
is matter of business, and not Of
politics, that up to the present mo-
ment (the date below these remarks
is Dec. 10th, 1891) not one sheet of
coke tins, which constitute over half
our entire requirements, has yet been
put on the market by the American
manufacturers, and that the present
output Of all kinds does not constitute
! per cent. of the entire consumption
of tin plate in America. Again, it is
a matter Of business that the small
lots produced, have only been obtain
able at prices considerably above
what the same quality can be import.
ed at even under the increased duty"
For these reasons the association
very naturally regards the question
as "a most serious one" as affecting
the interests of its members and of
the entire country.-New York
Times.

The New Three Rs,

Republican Reform Of the tariff
consisted in raising the war duties
after twenty-five years of peace. Of
800 articles or classes, yielding to-
gether moro than IS per cent. Of the
revenue, the Mckinley act increased
the duties on 23b. left 80 unchanged.
and reduced or abolished the duty on
only Is.
Republican Reciprocity consists in
untaxing the necessaries Of foreign
people imported from this country
without abating the taxes on the
necessaries Of our own people import
ed from abroad.
Republican Retaliation consists in
retaxing American consumers of
sugar, molasses and coffee as a punish
ment to certain foreign nations for
not untaxing American products up
on which they maintain tariffs Of
their own.
These three R's-Reform, that
means higher taxes Reciprocity,
that INTAKES foreigners only, and
Retaliation, that retaxes Americans
to spite foreigners.-will hurt the Re-
publican party in 1892 much worse
than DR.. Burchard's merely rhetoric
