The fact that it would have been an

as this hemisphere becomes more crowded
it will be wise for the people of the United

STRICT KFGBLAEI6k NEEDED.

The dynamite factory has put itself in
evidence again, an establishment of that
sort up in Michigan having exploded and
wiped out of existence sixteen workmen.
One of the pecdliarities of dynamite ex-
plosions even more marked than in the
case of powder magazines, is that when
one occurs no evidence is ever procurable
as to the particular act of neglect or care
lessness which caused it. The persons
who may have witnessed or committed the
fatal act, as well as all vestigeS of it, are
blown out of existence. But it is beyond
dispute that every such fatality proves that
no precautions can be too great or too
stringent in the manufacture and handling
of an explosive of such power. The
Michigan explosion, like that which oc.
cured not long ago at Washington, Pa,
demonstrates that the dynamite business
is proper subject for the strictest gov
ernmental regulation.

THEY WANT FREE TRADE.
to Satisfy the Tariff Reformers
Are Useless.

.
Are Useless.
Chicago journal Of Commerce.
Experience has demonstrated the futility
OF attempts to satisfy the self-styled tariff
reformers by any concession short of abso-
lutte free foreign trade and its necessary aC-
junct of increased taxation on the property
may be found in the history of every rev.
enue measure enacted since that of Wash
ington and Madison in 1889. Notwithstant-
ing the fact that the Mckinley law placed
more articles and greater values on the free
list than any legislation since the Walker
tariff of 1916, the existing law is more vio-
lently assailed than any of its predecessors,
and the old charge of discrimination in be-
half of capital and against the interests of
the masses is repeated with rs great unction
as If its falsity has not been verified by un-
varied experience during quarter Of a cen
tury.
The tariff of 1888 placed the full line of
spices, long list of chemicals and other
articles on the free list, while it consider
ably reduced the duty on woods and wool
ems, iron, steel. lumber and their varied
manufactures. But all this to no avail so
far as giving comfort to the always uncoIn-
Portable free trader who went on quoting
the ad valorem equivalents of falling prices
to mislead unthinking voters into the belief
that no considerable reduction had been
effected. The same is true of his present
attitude toward the Mckinley tariff, in
which even greater concessions have been
made. No credit is given for taking $50, ,000.-
900 per year off of sugar, $6 per ton from the
tariff on steel rails and for reductions on
seem unworthy of notice, while the fewer
instances in which increase was made are
forced into service to assist in discrediting
the entire law, and demanding its early re-
peal in the interest Of foreign manufact-
urers, who would prove to be the only ulti-
mate beneflciarieS.

A FUTILE IDEA.

1t is a striking illustration of the crude
views on political economy which prevail
in Farmers Alliance circles, that at the
time of the largest cotton and wheat crops
in the history of this country it is proposed
that the producers of each staple should
corner their own markets The idea that
this could be done in the wheat market
has hardly spent itself when it is pro-
posed to do it with the cotton crop. The
New Orleans Times Democrat gravely
argues that it is more feasible to do it
with cotton than with wheat, because the
United States produces three-fourths of
the cotton of the world, while our propor-
ton of the wheat production is hardly one
fourth.
Such logic is delicious. 1t may be more
feasible for honsemaid with broom to
sweep out Lake Erie than to do the same
with Lake Superior; but either is
sufficiently impossible. If the cot
ton crop cornerers can raise the
neat little sum of $500, ,OOO, 900
to take the crops of producers whose cir
cumstances or judgment lead them to take
nominal market prices for their products,
they may do something with their corner
But until that time they are likely to make
much more of a success in drawing out
Leviathans with hook than by absorbing
a staple OF which, there are million or
more sellers in the country this fall
The profusion of such foolish plans is
an indication of the decentralization of
business judgment, as well as principles,
produced by the example of successful
monopolies. Because great capitalists, by
the aid of illegal combinations, have sue
ceeded in controlling the market for
staples of comparatively limited produc-
ton, like petroleum and anthracite coal,
Others are not only ready to follow the
example of illegitimate gain, but are
willing to pursue the monopolistic game
into fields of production where the effort
to establish monopoly is as hopeless as
the attempt to control the tides of the
Atlantic ocean.

VIEWS ON HARRITY's WORK.


Opinions of the State Press Upon the
Democratic Ticket and Platform-Some
sanction and Others Condemn the
Evasion of National Issues.
Philadelphia Public Ledger, Ind. Rep.l
AT the Harrisburg Democratic State Con-
vention yesterday the proceedings were
much more to the point, much more business
like and direct to the all important home
snbjects now engrossing public attention
throughout the Commonwealth, than were
the proceedings of the Republican State
Convention held few " eeks ago. The
greatest prominence is given to the condi-
tion of our State revenue and State Treasury
laws, and to the discreditable practices
under them in the Auditor Generals and
State Treasury Departments-which have
scandalized our Commonwealth everywhere,
and have cost to the State the probable loss
of 81, SOC, COO. The Democratic resolutions on
these points are leveled straight at the right
targets They are easy to understand as to
what they actually say and what they really
mean; and they are free Except in one gem
eral resolution and one personal to Mr..
Quay) from the interfering and distracting
influences of the national and personal poll
tics which SO greatly obscured and almost
pushed out of sight-in the Republican plat
form-these all-importanJ and immensely
superior State issues.

PITTsBURG, SATURDAY, SEPT. 5. 1881.
TWELVE PAGES
A SAFE PREDICTION,

An alleged interview with Democratic
politician has reached publication, in
which it is heralded as an exceptional dis
covery that the Republican candidates for
State offices will be elected by 10000
majority. This is strongly in the nature
of discovering what every one knows
already.
As 10000 is considerably less than the
normal Republican majority, it would,
under the circumstances, indicate weak
ness rather than strength on the part of
the Republicans if the majority were not
greater than that The obstacles in the
way of repeating the Republican reverse
of last year are twofold. In the first
place, it is always difficult in an election
for minor State offices to get up enough
interest to make the political tide flow out
of its regular channels. In the next place,
the conditions which induced Republican
voters to break party bonds last year are
absent this year, unless the Republican
candidates are shown to be connected
with the financial scandals affecting the
State and Philadelphia treasures, which
at present is more than improbable.
Add to this the fact that the real issue
between the parties at present is protec-
tion and free trade, and 80. 600 would be a
very small majority for Pennsylvania to
give against the Democrats. If State in
which every interest is bound up with and
relies upon the maintenance of the pro-
tective principle does not, even in State
campaign, give larger majority, it will
be evidence that the vices of State man.

Avoids the Issues of the Day.


Mr.. Harrity's convention yesterday car
ried out the programme laid down for it
without hitch. Harmony was the order of
the day, in fact, the convention was entirely
passive in the hands of its manager, and
Mr.. Harrity's pretensions to be the political
boss of his party in Pennsylvania were con-
hrmed by the general acquiescence of all
the clans and the complete realization of
all his wishes. The candidates nominated
are of the regulation order. There is no
very strong reason why every Democrat
should not vote for them and no reason at
all why any Republican should. 1t has not
been customary even in Democratic con-
ventions to nominate any man so obscure
as A. L. Tilden for such a responsible office
as State Treasurer. But Mr.. Harrity wants
to have his clerk control the Treasury, and
q complaisant convention deferred to his
wishes. On its personal side the ticket is
weak compared with that of the Repub-
hcans, II the issue were to turn simply on
the choice of men, the Democrats would
go home and think no more of electing their
ticket. But Mr.. Harrity, If he can help it,
will not allow the mere question of the rela-
tive worth of candidates to determine this
election. He thinks he has better issue in
John Bardsley. The platform is terse and
non-coInmfttal on the controlling issues of
the day, but it is elaborate and eloquent on
the subject of John Bardsley.

THE COST OF CONQUEST.

There is a very impressive lesson in the
tone of the German press on the anniver-
sary of Sedan. The sentiment is typified
by the Berlin Postin quoting Won Moltke's
prediction that Germany must remain
fifty years under arms in order to retain
what she won at Sedan,'' and in in
dorSing it with the bellicose declaration
that 'tif others provoke war Germany will
fight as courageously as twenty years
ago."
1t is hard to see how any statement of
the situation could more clearly show the
utter unproitableness Of conquest. Gef-
many, like all other European nations, is
bUrdened and groaning under the necessi-
ty of maintaining immense armaments.
Her people are heavily taxed, a large share
of her population is constantly withdrawn
from productive employment, and i'm
mense sums are constantly expended in
the enginry of war. According to this
statement this condition of things is
rendered necessary, and must continue
at least thirty years more to keep
a couple of provinces which Germany
wrested from France twenty years ago. 1t
is safe to say that on this view Alsace and
Lorraine have already cost Germany, in
the burdens of increased taxation and the
maintenance of a war footing during
twenty years of peace, more than they are
worth. BY the time the fifty years are over
the conquered provinces will have cost
double as much; and, if there should be
another outbreak and fresh conquest, the
period of ruinous expenditure in order to
preserve the gains will be prolonged to in
fnity. ...
Of course there is the correlation to this
foolishness on the other side. The loser
in the war, in order to retrieve her losses,
must spend in raising ornaments and pre-
pairing for war of revenge more than the
actual value of the lost provinces to the
Government As this burden falls on the
common people, it may not appear import
ant to the politicians and statesmen who
thrive by cherishing the war spirit. But
to the student who takes into considera-
ton the effect upon a whole nation the
case is clearly that of reproduction on

Depending on Republican Votes.

Philadelphia Times Ind-Dem.l
The action of the Democratic State Con-
vention, both as to its candidates and ex-
pressions Of faith, was so clearly fore.
shadowed before the convention met that
its work occasions no surprise in any quar-
ter. The nominations of Robert e. Wright
for Auditor General and of A. L. Tilden for
State Treasurer were the result of general
conference between active members of the
party from every section of the State, and
they are presented to the people with q
degree of unanimity that promises a very
cordial and united support within the party
lines. 1t was fortunate Tor the Democrats
that the ticket they presented to the people
this year will command the votes of many
thousands of thoughtful citizens without
regard to their political faith. The develop
ments of each day seem to emphasize the
absolute necessity for revolutionary
change in the control of the financial de-
partments of Pennsylvania, 1t calls for a
change not only in the individuals who fill
the Offices, but it calls for change in the
dominant power that places them there. 1t
is an ungracious task for any party to befoul
its own nest ami expose the wrongs con-
Quoted by those entrusted with its power
and there are tens of thousands of Repub.
ncans in Pennsylvania to-day who feel that
the only assurance of q complete exposure
of the rottenness of our financial system
can be accomplished by Democratic Audi
tor General.
