Nuts for Protec.ionists to crack.

If, as protectionists tell us. wages de-
pend upon tariffs. then, as we have the
same tariff in all parts of the United
States, it would be natural to conclude
that wages should be uniform from
Maine to California. Tho Foundry.
mems association, of Philadelphia, after
q considerable amount of correspond
ence, has compiled tabulated state
lnent of wages paid in foundries of the
United States printed in The Iron Age
of May 90. 1892 Some of the figures
are from country foundries, others from
car wheel. stove and malleable iron and
pipe shops. etc. According to this table
the average wages of inolders vary from
$3.50 per day il San Francisco and Oak
land. Cal, to LEO in Hagerstown. Md.
A few of the other averages are: In
Pittsburg, 50: Conshehecken.l Pa,
S2.S3ls; Philadelphia. $250; chester,
Pa.. $40; York. Pa. $40; Reading,
s.: Allentown, Pa. Sl.90; Bloomsbury,
Pa, Sl.75; Denver, 1925; New York and
Brooklyn, 80: Chicago, Sc. IS; Charleston.
SEQ; Portsmouth. N. H., So %; Emira,
~. ! -, p~' w iihliilt5 TON, DCls, Ei.CJ. uc
average wages of coremakers vary from
$3.50 in Leadville, Colo, and S325 in
San Francisco. to S1.25 IN Elmira and
Brockport. N. Y, and Selma. Ala; of
cupola tenders. from $3.50 in Oakland,
CAL, to 81 In several southern Cities OF
clippers, from $500 in Leadville. Colo,
to rs cents in Athens. GA.
Will some kind and logical protection
ist please explain these discrepancies?
Will he also inform MS how 1t is that the
highly paid labor in eastern cities com
petes with the poorly paid labor in
neighboring cities and In the south, and
turns out Observation-Disclosures than the
poorly paid labor can turn out their
product He might also give his reasons
for thinking that New York laborers
need protection from the pauper labor
of Canada and none from the pauper la
Dor of Maryland, and why tariff wall
should not lie constructed on the Ale
ghany mountains to protect the three
dollar-a-day laborer of Pttsburg from
the two-dollar-a-day laborer Of Reading
and Harrisburg. Snch apparent incon-
sistencies as these are daily occurring to
many nntntored minds. and it behooves
the protectionist to be ON the&alert with
simple, straightforward arguments to
dispel them.

Tie can;.iIacy Or Col. ID. H
Harman, Of Mcdowell COUNTY, Or
state Senator, IS creating d con
'@ideraf3le stiramong tfic Demo
Gratis Of this county. That Me-
DoweIl is entitled to the Senator
ship All are willing to admit, and
among all OF the citizens OF Nc
Dowell county there is none bet
ter fitted for the position, or-more'
popular With the people than Co.
siiarm'an. For fifty years he has
fought for the principles Of Dem
ocracy and has been Independents
OF all factions in the party. and
had he six weeks ago announced
himself candidate for the posi-
ton, he would have had no oppo
sition. His name was not thought
of, however. until Wyoming, the.
Hast ,unty in the district to hold
d convention, instructed for him
in her convention. Mcdowell
and Raleigh had held their con
ventions and instructed for no
zone Lincoln-had instructed for
Wilson, and Mercer and Eegan
had instructed for w. M. Mahood,
ssi4iAgy-MahoodI tMent Y.lline.
Of the ffty-nine delegates to the
Senatorial convention and Ma
hoods nomination was conceded.
While almost every member OF
the Logan delegation is the per-
sonal friend Of Col. Hartman, and
would deem it a pleasure to be
able to cast their votes for him,
vet they feel it to be their duty
to obey the instructions of a regu
lar constituted convention which
has delegated 10 them the power
of speaking in convention for the
county Of Logan. 1t has been
stated that Mr.. Mahood is oppos
ed to the re- election Of both Sen
ators Faulkner and Kenna. We
are authorized by him to say that
he favors and will vote for Sena-
tor Faulkner, and that if the Sen
atofiat convention of the district
held in 1891, is favorable to Sen
ator Kenna, he will also gladly
support him, but that the cam
paign of 1894 is too far off to
make any promises to support
any man, but he is willing to be
governed by the wishes of the
district in the matter. We hope
that Col. Hartman and Mr.. Mahood
will unite III devising some plan
which will be satisfactory to
themselves and their respective
friends, and that the party may
besaved from contest which
Will create more or less discord.
The closeness OF the district de-
mands united action: with it we

ing in true bill against Lizzie Borden
has relieved the people of this city from a
great strain. All along the majority have
been of the opinion that an Indictment
would be found against her, although there
were a large contingent who could not be
induced to believe such result could be
accomplished. These same people are the
ones who even now believe in Miss Bor-
denis innocence and think her to be the
victim of conspiracy.
The news was received here at noon and
as soon as the jury's action had been bulle-
tined the anxious and interested ones
crowded about the boards and engaged in
animated conversations which smacked
strongly of the II told you So" Lawyer
jennings Office was overrun with visitors

Emma Borden left for Taunton and was
closeted with Lizzie. She returned home

WAYS AND MEANS.

Democratic Members May Meet to
Consider the Committees Policy Re
garding Tariff Measures.
WASHINGTON, Dec. at is probable
that there will be conference Of the dem
ocratic members of the ways and means
committee soon after congress reassembles
to determine whether the committee shall
take up and act on any more separate tariff
bills or wait until the new ways and means
committee of the Fifty-third congress be-
gins general revision of the tariff. There
are several separate tariff bills now on the
house calendar and the majority of the
ways and means committee during the last
session held number of fruitless confer
ences to decide whether or not 1t should
report the free lumber, salt, iron ore and
refined sugar bills.
Chairman Springer of the committee
said to day he had not seen any of his
colleagues on the committee and, there
fore, could not say what the committees
policy would be for the remainder of the
session. If the senate shows disposition
to notice the free wool, free binding Irvine
and free bagging bills passed by the house
months ago the indications are that the
ways and means committee in the house
will rest on its oars and await the time
when the democratic party gains control Of
affairs.
Talks with q number of democratic rep
resentatives regarding the state bank ia,
plank In the democratic platform show
that great difference of opinion exists OIL
this question. Many democrats from tn
east and west are opposed to do anything
with reference to state banks, while man.
representatives from the south, voicin
the demands of their constituents for
larger volume of currency, insist that tn
plank shall be given practical effect.
