Protection says the Erie Herald does
not increase average wages. No protec-
tive tariff has ever been enacted that
contained a solitary item for the benefit
of labor. Every protective tariff ever
enacted, was enacted for the sole benefit
of the capitalist. The purpose as often
fails as otherwise, but this has always
been the object of protective taxes. The
pottery manufacturers are protected by
taxes on competing products. The
things they sell are protected. What
have their employees to sell? Nothing
but their labor.
There is a tariff tax on foreign pottery,
but there is no tax on foreign labor.
What the employer had to sell was pro-
tected. What the employe had to sell
was not protected. Consequently, the
employer, although he was given more
protection, does not pay any more for
labor, but, on the contrary, is paying
less. The working man has never re-
ceived any benefit from the tariff, and
never will until the tariff protects him
in exactly the same manner that it does
his employer. He will get 40 benefit so
long as the tariff merely protects what
his employer has to sell and does not
protect what he has to sell.

The Republican Quandary.

If Ouav knows what he IL going TO do
at the Republican state convention, now
only a little more than three weeks oil,
he has not told anyone. In consequence
there are some very uncertain candl-
didates for Auditor General and State
Treasurer. for which the asplrants do not
know whom Quay wants nominated
They do know that he can nominate the
ticket he wants, whenever he concludes
to let the delegates know who the candi-
dates are.
In the meantime, Morrison and
Thomson, from the western part OF the
state. are making a wobbling canvass
for the State Treasurership, and Mylin
has not quite decided TO pull himself out
of the fight for the nomination of Audi
tor General because the final kick has
not been administered; Goblin and others
are booming Gregg for the nomination,
and Giles ID. Price, an Erie county
granger. has put himself in the hands of
his friends. 4 week ago it looked as If
the ticket might be Gregg and Morrisan,
with the war still raging for rallyIng
cry The appearance OF Price IN the
field suggests a possible new deal all
round, with Gregg to rally the soldiers
! and Price to gather in the farmers 10
accomplish this either Price or Gregg
would have TO swap his present ambition
the Auditor Generalship-fo noml-
nation for State Treasurer, probably
neither would object to doing.
If Quay shall decide that 1t Is worth
while to make campaign this year, he
| must gather himself together and show
| his hand pretty soon. At present he
probably is pretty well convinced that he
| told Mylin the unvarnished truth when
! he said this didn't look likes a good Rep
| publican year, and he is waiting for some
| sign that he was mistaken in his dag
nosis. The events of the past week, as
reflected by the revelations in State and
City Treasury affairs, have not improved
| Republican prospects, and the week
closes with the political future entirely
| obScured. The Democrats will wait, OF
| course, to see what the Republicans will
| do. Last year Quay nominated ticket
against the protest of a large portion OF
his party and got his end of 1t defeated.
This year he is afraid that ticket sat's-
factory to the leaders of all factions will
meet the same fate, because so many
Republican officials have been shown to
| be derelict in the administration of their
| offices. 1t is the Republican voters OF
every shade of opinion that he Is uncer'
tain about in the present dilemma

II the trial of W. ]. Elliott, editor and
proprietor of the Sunday Capital at Co
lumbus, Ohio, for the killing of Albert
G. Osborn, a reporter of the Sunday
WorId and w. L. Hughes, bystander,
in shooting affray in that city on the
23rd of February last, the jury on Tues
day morning brought in verdict of
equity of murder in the second degree. !"
The verdict is belived to be a compro-
mise one as it does not agree with either
the theory of the prosecution which
claimed a conviction of murder in the
first degree, or that of the defense which
claimed an acquittal on the ground of
self defense. The verdict carries with it a
sentence to life imprisonment as the
laws of Ohio fix that as the penalty for
murder in the second degree.

A WASHINGTON correspondent writes:
"EX-Congressman Kerr, of Pennsylva-
mia, to whom more than any other one
man is due the credit for the Democratic
victory in that state last year, was in
town several days ago consulting with
the officials of the national association
of Democratic clubs, and he brought
news that warmed the cookies of Demo-
cratic hearts. Mr.. Kerr is no rainbow
chaser as his friends very well know,
therefore when he says he thinks Penn
sylvania is a doubtful state, with the
odds decidedly in favor of the Demo
Gratis it means something. He says that
the financial crookedness of the Delama-
matters and the more recent bank wreck
ing in Philadelphia has aroused the
people as they were never aroused before
against the methods originated by Quay
when he was treasurer of the state, and
besides this, the new ballot law will be
worth 10000 votes to the Democratic
party, because it viii enable it to prevent
the Republicans voting the dead men
who have made up 4 large part of their
majority for years"

Lightning Strikes u Church.

On Sunday morning, while the Rev.
]. c. Sculler was delivering his sermon
in the United Presbyterian Church, at
Greenville. Pa, a sudden storm arose,
and the high steeple was struck and
badly shattered by thunderbolt. There
were over three hundred people in the
church at the time, and panic followed
that was only quelled by the pastor and
other cool heads demanding that no
rush be made for the door.
Many of the women screamed and
tainted when the binding flash was fol-
lowed by a creaking of the steeple. but,
outside of several slight shocks, no one
was injured. The congregation then
Joined in a prayer of thanksgiving for
their escape.

The New Gold Field.

CARSON, New, July 26.-Owing to the
discoveries of free gold at Pine Nut,
New, "a miles from this city, a large
number of prospectors, including many
from the Comstock mines, are going
into that district and rapidly surveying
claims. A town site named Zirnville
has been laid out, prospector named
William Zirn having discovered the
district and taken out considerable gold.
Hebe Halman forman of two large mines
on the Comstock lode, has returned from
the scene and says the country for 10
miles square has many quartz ledge,
showing free gold on the surface, and
contends that the discoveries are as
promising as those first made on the
Comstock.

NsEAE unCu aIc going 0p. Western
holders says the Philadelphia Record
realize that exporters have put out large
contracts for future delivery, and are
evidently disposed to make them pay
roundly for their confidence in the
bearish influence of the big crop. so
much of the advancing tendency rs may
he due To legitimate influence will do no
harm. Europe will require largely
increased supply of American wheat this
year. and it is natural, under such con-
ditions, that better prices should OBJ
tain in the worlds markets.
The American grower is entitled to all
that he can get for his wheat under the
stimules of natural competition among
legitimate buyers. The situation, how
| ever, encourages speculation, and there
is considerable of this factor in the pres
ent market for grain. The titful and
| feverish conditions that are generated
bv speculation will simply retard husi-
ness and work ultimate injury to the
| true interests of farmers. Persons who
are depending upon the necessities o1
| importing countries to give permanent
support to advancing prices in the Uni
| ted States should remember that high
cost breadstuffs imports will enforce un-
| usual economies among European con-
! sumers, and that the after effects of an
ill-timed speculation that might check
exports from this country would be GER
tain to prove disastrous.
1t would be good thing for the gen.
eral business interests of the country il
speculation could be kept in the back
| ground this season. But it will not be.
If the wheat gambler can bag present
profit from the exporter, or from any
body else, the country's exchanges may
take care of themselves.

HoN. BENTON MCMuLEN, of Tennes-
see, in a speech before the Young Mems
Democratic club of Boston, said of the
unprecedented prohigacy of the late bill
lion dollar Congress: Beside this Con
gress the extravaganza of all others sinks
into insignihcance. billion eight mil
hon spent in two years is its record. A
sum so great that it has TO be divided up
and considered in sections and by com
parison to comprehend. 1t is ten dol
lars minute all the time since the De-
claration of Independence was signed
1t is sixty dollars for every hour since
the Savior was born into the world.
You have heard of the prodigal son.
His squandering was nothing when
compared to theirs. If he could rise
from the tomb he would blush because
he had been out-done. He would stand
forth as parsimonious as Shylock when
compared to these. And / apologize TO
the shadow of that poor squanderer for
doing him the injustice to compare him
to this Congress. He squandered only
his own inheritance, not that of Others.
Besides, he repented, while they never
did"

to window and saw two men working
at the door, and another, evidently on
guard, was standing in the street
Mr.. Simpson called to the men and
told them to leave, emphasizing the
order by shot By this time the two
men had burst open the door and rushed
in closely followed by the guard. But
the latter was too slow, for Just as he

aroused by the shots, went to their host s
assistance and held the burglars until

FRIDAY, MARCH 10. 1891,

THERE has never been any doubt
among protectiOnists that the tin.
plate clauses of the Mckinley hill
would soon produce in million
shop. windows convincing object
lessons of the wisdom of the protec-
tive policy. And we doubt if even
their Warmest advocate realized the
extent to which American ingenuity
would employ them for the ihculca'
ton CT patriotism rs we'll as sound
economics. This phase of the sub
ject has been suggested by the re-.
ceipt of a toy drum manufactured of
Americon tin plate by Morton E..
Converse & Co., WinchendOg, Mass,
The ores from which the tin came
were dug from an American mine.
extracted by an American smelter
through an American process; spread
over American iron by American
machines, and put into an American
drum for the unboundable joy and
edification of an American boy. If
It doesn't make him patriotic Re
publican ProtectIOnist he won't be
worth his salt. The boy who would
fail to sustain the Mckinley bill after
discovering the superior amount of
glorious noise to be produced from
this American tin drum is unworthy
of his heritage. He will grow up a
dude or a Democrat inevitably
perhaps both. for there are such, and
when found in combination, what
figures they do cut IN. Y. Tribune.
