When the Morning Ne,cs gets through
explaining to its own satisfaction that
the Mckinley tariff bill has lowered the
price OF pretty much everything exccpt
tnware and Canadian eggs, it would be
interesting, and possibly instructive, to
have it go on and demonstrate how
much more "protection" would be re-
quired to bring prices down to the Level
of the products of the "paupor labor"
of high-tariff Germany and Russia. 1t
would be simple sum in proportion
which the mathematical editor ought to
be able to work out with facility and
dispatch. Thus: Let equal the old
war-tariff rate on any desired article,
and K plus so equal the Mckinley tariff
rate. Then proceed to demonstrate that
the article in question sold, at retail, at 12
cents in 1889 and II cents in 1891. From
these premises it will be comparatively
easy to ascertain how much additional
protection" it will require to bring
the price of that article down TO
six cents, or three cents, or one cent.
Then just clap on the requisite per-
centage Of protection and thorc you
are. 1t is as simple as rolling off log.
No doubt the manufacturers of the
article in question would be only too
happy to fry out the amount of "fat''
necessary to influence legislation for the
extra protection" thus mathomatically
demonstrated 10 be essential to the re.
duction of the cost of their product tc
six cents. This question Of fat could
also be measured with mathematical
nicely by the same rule. For instance
assuming that 1t took 80 many million:
of dollars to pass the Mckinley bill, il
would take twice that amount to doubl,
the extra projections" three times tha
amount to triple it; and so Oh, ad in
anitum. Incidentally, If the Nsws could
name few Wilmington workingmer
who have had their wages raised by til,
Mckinley bill, 1t might not be bat
Idea 70 trot them out.

after a prolonged and stubborn contest,
will be ratified in the House to-day, and
the business Of the country can thcn go
forward smoothly into session that we
all may trust will be for the good of the
country. The one great thing, after the
personal and party aspects of the case are
considered, is that the Democratic majority
in the House of Representatives has de-
liberately and firmly decided against the
aggressive type of Democratic gospel
preached by Mr.. Mills.
AIDS THE DEMOCRATIC CAUSE.
Now York Sun.
This result is a triumph for the conser-
vative forces in the Democracy and kick
ct the Mngwumps. 1t is a promise Of a
safe and moderate course on the part of
the Democratic majority in the House. 1t
makes brighter the prospect of electing a
Democratic President. IL will be especi-
ally welcome in this state and this city;
and the New York Congressman who have
helped bring IL about deserve well of the
Democratic party Of New York. And now
that the contest is over, there should be
no Crisp men and Mills men among the
Democrats in the House, but both wings
should flap together.

E. C. Rathbone in War Paint.

Just before leaving Washington
for Hamilton, Ohio, Friday, Assist
ant Postmaster-General Z. G. Rath-
bone indicated to a friend that he
would within few days bring Grim
inal actions against the Hamilton,
Ohio, Daily Democrat Company for
a statement it has recently made
about him and ask for $50, 900 dam
ages.
The Democrat Il few days ago
charged Rathbone with colonizing
the Postmasters in certain States
for corrupt political purposes and
with using his office to corruptly
advance his political interests gen
orally. Rathbone said he was used
to being charged with being polit-
ical rounder, colonizer and all that
by that paper, but that now it
charged him with official miscon-
duct he would try to make the al
legged libelers sweat for it.

astrous fire was discovered on Thurs
day night of last week by Police
man Cline. About II o'clock that
night, the patrolman was making

Hot ashes from stoves had been
emptied into barrel which was
placed in close proximity to the sta
BILE and which was set on fire by the
heat from the contents. The loss
is very slight.
