Duties and Wages Again.

The Voice quotes the following para
graph from IAN impartial farm Jour
nal" whose name, we regret to say, it
does not mention:
"No tariff should be greater on any
article than the difference between
the cost of its manufacture in this
country Con the basis of fair wages
and moderate interest on the capital
invested) and the cost of the same
article laid down in New York from
abroad. Anything beyond this is a
burden upon the consumer and pro-
lection to trusts. Congress should
establish bureau Of information for
the collection of facts upon which a
tariff might he based and constantly
kept within the lines ] have indicat-
ed"
There is such bureau. The De-

In the Right.

The offer of the Indians to deliver
up the murderers of Lieut.. Casey
when the United States authorities
arrest and execute the murderers of
Few Tails at the same time, is perfect
ly fair and just. If the killing of
Casey was murder, the killing of Few
Tails was murder also.
Few Tails was good and peace
able Indian. He was one of band
ofsix belonging to Young-man-Afraid-
of His-Horses-a Crow Indian
Young-Man had been out bringing
his followers together in order to pre-
vent their joining the hostiles. The
little band mentioned was on its way
to Pine Ridge provided with pass
from Gen. Brooke. Not a man of
them had on war paint, not one had
arms or ammunition.
They were starting early in the
morning on their journey from the
Butt country to Pine Ridge when
they were fired upon by ambushed
whites. Few Tails fell dead and his
squaw was wounded. She hid in the
bushes until night and then dragged
herself to Pine Ridge agency, more
than 100 miles distant, reaching it al
most dead. The rest of the band
abandoned their wagons and fled.
One of the murderers is known. for
he came into the United States sold
iers' camp and admitted that he had
killed an Indian because he had been
stealing horses. But this charge is
denied and the captain in charge of
the troops there says it was "a cold
blooded murder" The governor of
South Dakota has been asked to APP
prehend and punish the murderers.
The killing of Lieut. Casey while
walking short distance from the
camp near Pine Ridge, is not denied
by the Indians. They admit that
they know who killed him, but they
will not deliver up his assassins to the
United States authorities until they
are assured that the white assassins
are apprehended and will be hung to-
gether with the Indians.
And 10 sophist can show that they
are not perfectly justified and reason
able in their position, Detroit Journ-

The Sorrows of Life.

We all have our sorrows what
turbulent oceans of grief are surging
in the hearts of the great masses of
humanity that one meets in the streets
day after day. We stop to speak II
word to n brother or acquaintance
upon the busy thoroughfares of life,
and though he may smile H. he greets
US. a river of hot tears may be ready
to gush from his eyes. At his hume
there may be clouds through which
no ray of light penoirateS Sickness
may be there; death may be knock
ing at the door. and while the broth
err may give no indication of sorrow
that is burning his heart, and seems
to be rejoicing in life, his thoughts are
in the cemetery. 1t may be that
business perplexities press him hard.
Oh how numerous are the sources of
trouble.
1t is said and thought that there is
no subject upon which one loves to
talk so well as that of their own
troubles and it is such a relief to un-,
burden an aching heart to sympath-
izing friend, that the tale of sorrow is
readily related. But it is fact that
we are constantly meeting people who
are burdened with trouble, who never
breathe a word to us of their sorrow.
They meet us with a forced smile ;
speak kindly word press our hand,
and perhaps appear pleased with our
jests and then they walk OF think
ing and subdued. DO you know that
nature intends that we shall be so in
terested in the welfare of our fellow
men that we shall learn of these sor-
rows that make hearts bleed If we
should meet one of our own family
after weeks of separation, how anxious
we should be to know just how mat
ters had been going with them. How
eagerly we should press them to know
if the pathway of life had been entire
ly smooth for them. But our obliga-
ton as men and women makes our
fellowmen members of a common
family. We are supposed to be
gathered about one common hearth
stone, and the chord of sympathy and
love that binds our hearts together is
supposed to be so sensitive that IL will
vibrate from limit to limit whenever
a single heart is bleeding.

Export Prices Of Farm Machinery

While the tariff bill was pending
there was more or less discussion as
to the prices of American goods sold
abroad. Here were manufacturers
insisting that they could not meet

high duty. On the other hand it was
charged that they were meeting for
cign competition in foreign markets
not only without any protecting tariff,
hui where they had to meet costs OF
transportation not incident to bust
ness At home, and where customs tax
es were assessed IN their wares.
The manufacturers in question
denied these statements, but their own
advertisements. printed in Spanish
for circulation only in Mexico and
South America were produced and
these proved that they were offering
farm implements cheaper to the peo-
pie of South America than to those
of the United States. 1t proved that

Christianitys Duty to the Industrial
Slaves.

Recent certified revelations have
laid bare the multiplied horrors and
depravities of the tenement popula-
ton in great cities, where fortyone
out of every hundred families live
each in a single room, where the
poorest pay more rent than the rich
est for each cubic foot of space and
air. These facts put it beyond ques-
ton that, in the name of common
humanity, and as sure as there is an
ethical element in Christianity at all,
there are social sins and human eui-
ties which have more urgent and i'm
peratiye claim on the consideration of
ecclesiastical councils and Of weekly
sermons than any questions of disci-
pline, ritual, hymnology. or predestina-
ton. 1t is not necessary to call out
the names of real-estate tyrants or
savage sweaters in New York and
Philadelphia. There is a sense of
right, after all, which can be reached
and stirred without personal vituper-
alton, by men called and set apart to
holy offices, if they are sincere and
candid, and if their lives agree with
their preaching. 1t is said this would
foster violence and provoke insurrec-
tionary clamor? Telling the truth
has generally been safe in the long
run, and it was never safer than it is
now, when the truth is likely to be
told at any rate. An earnest and
patient treatment Of social wrongs by
wide and large-hearted Church is as
likely as Congress or the courts to
heal discomfort and forestall insurrec-
ton. Suppose the Churchmen and
the dissenters had seen their duty and
had discharged it with clearsighted-
ness and courage who can doubt
that English statesmen, Parliament,
and people would have found out in
less than three generations that,
through monstrous manufacturing
interests and their incalculable profits,
England, since the factory system
came in, has made itself infamous by
the most hideous and brutal form of
slavery ever known to the civilized
world-the white slavery which, on a
vast scale, has tasked, tortured and
slaughtered children under ten years
of age, exterminated chastity and de-
cency in the dwellings of factory
workers, turned men into brutes, and
made society into hell? Would
Lord John Russell's remark still be
true, that lit takes England forty
years to accomplish a reform admitted
to be necessary ?"--Bishop Hunting
