TIE appointment of Springer to the

TIE appointment of Springer to the
chairmanship Of the committee on WAYS
and Means does not have the political
signifcance which is attributed to II 10y
the pessimists, or by the timid, or even
nv some of the conservatives. Undoubt-
edlv there is often found the popular
eader who is supposed TO be the eXemplar
mar excellence of a great idea; hut history
shows that though the leader may even
die the idea survives. II the doctrine
that taxes should he imposed Tor public
purposes only be true; il the question IN
volved in this formula be great one,
then not the election Of Crisp, nor tue
defeat of Mills, nor the change oil the
personnel of the Ways and Means com
mittee will scarcely more than retard
,bo advance Of the party which is charg-
cd with the high duty OF Keeping the
great truth prominently before the peo-
nile. Tilden was fit exponent In ms
dav Of means of reform in the admins
tra,ion ofthe government, yet the demo-
cratic party succeeded after llIden mad
,o,;red from the theatre OF action. Cleve-
land fitlv represents the doctrine oil tar
iff reduction, yet his party can succeed
even though Hill should be its nominee.
The meaning of which is that measures
are greater than men. Indeed, IN times
like this, measures must be everything, I
mon nothing. The treasury has been
looted. the people are being robbed dal-
liz. taxes are imposed each year second
arilv for the support of the government
and nrimarilv TO make richer the pefs
and iavorites of the administration.
Thasa enormities must cease. They will
cease. The people cannot longer be
and deceived. In the iace
of such great public calamties, to check
which is holy and patriotic duty, 1t Is
folly m talk about the cause perishing,

one man NAV behave lily or show a
lack of magnanimity. Thank God, the
democratic party is greater than Mills
and Crisp and all their following. Spring

ROBBISG THE WOMEN,

Many n housewife has been puzzled
rs we'll as annoyed at the higher
prices OF glass fruit jars this year.
Tho writer OF this wus recently visit
ing IL farmers family when the sub
ject OF canning fruit came up. The
good wife had semi 10 a neighboring
city To buy n supply OF jars Tor her
large crop OF fruit and tomatoes. To
her surprise n considerable higher
price was charged, and the merchant,
being n friend, warned her that the
price was likely to 30 still higher.
No one il the family knew that n
trust had been formed not long ngo
and had put up the price OF these
jars; and when the writer informed
then OF this fact they had smother
lesson in the effects Of our high pro-
tective tariff on tho farmers pocket.
The tariff on glass jars for fruit is
40 per cent. on tho best kinds and still
higher on the cheaper grades. b.
sideG this, glass jars nre very expen-
sivo things TO pack and ship, being
very liable To break in handling; and
the new law makes no allowance for
glass broken in shipmen; from abroad,
unless the part broken is Ms much as
ono.tenth OF tho whole.
OndGr these circumstances il is not
singular that our imports OF glass
fruit jars ure 40 inconsidernble that
they are not separately named in the
government rep )rta, The domestic
manufacturers, therefore, have tho
market entirely to themselves, and
being fow in number they can easily
combine and force trust prices upon
the people.
The high protection given these
men is entirely uncalled Tor. The New
York Tribune, tho lending high tariff
journal in this country, has made the
ciaim that plain glassware can DO
made hero us cheaply n in Europe.
Moreover, IL is known thut the manu-
facturors OF all kinds OF glassware

This circus is followed by us tough Il

to transfer the nimble dollar from the
peoples pockets to their own. One OF
our citizens, in buying tickets OF ad-

his open hand by the ticket seller.
Having his wife and family with him
he made no fuss about it at the time
but at the close OF the afternoon per-
formance he me tho party in tho
drug store and proceeded 10 take the
$40 out OF his hide. Friends pre-
vailed on the injured citizen to swear
out n warrant for petit larceny against
the thief and havo him dealt with nc

taken, but while the District Attor-
ney was making out the papers Mr..
