II It did not have such melancholy re-
suits, the amazing game Of confidence
called protection " would be the most
laughable thing on earth.
The iron baron comes to Paul, his
workingman, and whispers confdentially
that II he will help to rob Peter (the
public at large) the swag will be divided
and that Paul will find his share of It on
the pay roll.
Deluded by the baron's plausible man
ners and specious promises. Paul goes
into the conspiracy. and Peter Il knocked
down, bound hand and foot, and relieved
of his valuables.
In pursuance Of this conspiracy Allie
gheny county, Pennsylvania, where iron
and steel works and workers abound,
rolled up a majority Of $1,000 for Ben
jamin Harrison aud tariff robbery in
1888. and in due time the thieving Nc
Kinley bill became law.
1t was Paurs stalwart blow at the
polls that made Peter helpless, but when
il came to rifling Peters pockets the iron
baron got first hold on the swag, and
without giving any of II to Paul, walked
off with it to his castle in Scotland.
Paul, not seeing any increase on the
pay roll, put in his plea for "divvy,"
but the baron's agent told him he had
expended his share on improvements"
by means Of which Paul would be re-
lieved Of much hard labor, and for this
he ought to be thankful on his knees
day and night, for now he could have
time to visit the libraries the baron had
given to the public and thus improve
his mind.
Naturally enough Paul demurred to
this expenditure of his share Of the
booty, and undertook to make q row
about IL.
The baron thereupon called out Peters
troops at Peters expense and sent Paul
to the right about without either booty
or work. The big thief had robbed the
little thief.
And this is what makes the Herald
say that, as q confidence game on both
Peter and Paul, protection beats "monte"
and "thi.nble rigging" all TO pieces

Common people may well ask why the
tariff has everything to d. with wages
when they are rising, but nothing to do
with them when they are falling. They
may also be curious to know how it
comes to pass, the KcKinley tariff being
skillfully adjusted TO the difference of
wages between this country and Europe
(all Europe), that wages fall here in spite
of that delicate and benevolent arrange
ment. Anybody ought to be able, in the
light of the Homestead affair, to answer
that question. II is not denied that the
Carnegie Company is able to pay the
former rate of wages all around. In
fact, the contention is that the company.
by introducing improved machinery, is
able to turn out more steel with given
amount Of labor, and for this reason
asks for reduction in the scale Of ton.
wages. This may be perfectly proper
contention from the business standpoint,
but we have been taught by Mckinley
and Others TO look at the tariff from a
quite different standpoint, and TO believe
that If the protected manufacturer can
pay higher wages, he will be only too
glad to do so. The whole theory of tariff
legislation is that high duties will enable
the employer to pay high wages, and that
he will jump ut the chance to do so. and
that he will make them as high rs possi'
BILE.
The Carnegie experiment proves that
this Is II lie. The company is perfectly
able to pay even higher wages than the
scale in dispute. Why does it not do 80
Because il would not be business-like TO
pay more than the market calls for. In
other words, the tariff has nothing to do
with the rate Of wages at Homestead OF
anywhere else. II il gives any advan-
tage whatever TO the home manufacturer
over the foreigner, he will keep the diff
ference himself. Indeed, he must do so
for IL he does not, somebody else will
come along and by hiring labor little
cheaper will undersell him and will drive
him out of the market.-New York Ev
ening Post.

The Theatre.

The theatrical entertainment
given Sunday last under the sup
pervision of Mrs. r. de St Lau-
rent for the benefit of the Catho-
lie church, was a success beyond
all expectation. The audience
was large, in fact, as large as the
hall could permit, the different
tables and bar were we'll patroni-
zed; and the receipts, at the door
and at the tables were very salts
factory.
The theatrical part of the pro-
gramme was admirably carried out
by our young amateurs, and their
efforts were we'll appreciated if we
are to judge by the frequent ap-
plause that greeted the them.
The first play, a French Comedy
entitled Lies Caprices de Mimi
was rendered by the Misses Adri-
enne Gueriniere, Aida Mouton,
Marie Wilt, Odile Bienvenu, Ed
ma Bienvenu, Arena Durand, Lii
liza Bienvenu, A. NJ. Delahoussaye
and Estelle Fournet.
The young girls, some of them
their first appearance on the
stage, showed remarkable histrio-
mic talent. They looked as natur-
al and home-like on the stage as
they would in their own parlors,
and these easy manners made the
success of thy play which was
pronounced perfect in all its de-
tails.
"L'Ouviere ct la Grande Dame"
another French Comedy was play
ed by our amateurs of experience,
and this time they excelled all
former efforts.
The rendition of every part was
perfect; the singing was admira-
bic. In the cast were Mr.. Dumas
Hebert, the serio-comic amateur
artist of the town, and Misses
Marie Rose de Lahoussays, Ange
Marie de Lahousssye, Adrienne
Gueriniere and Valentine New
nard. The ladies were perfect in
their different roles, and the play,
without going to the details was
rendered in manner that does
credit to the young amateurs.
The success of the entertain
ment as far as the pleasure part
Is concerned was grand and
one of the unexpected features,
which was highly appreciated by
the disciples of the terpsichorean
art, was the grand ball that fol-
lowed the theatre, and which was
not on the programme.
The financial part of the enter
tainment was very satisfactory.
The MESSENGER congfatulates
all concerned for their successful
efforts.

ter General is also a millionaire;
great many Of the United States
Senators, as we'll as some members

men in the United States, whose
wealth exceeds thirty, forty, fifty
and some one hundred millions.
Now in the ordinary course of
human life and business, in a
country, like this, where the right
of premogeniture does not exist,
it is impossible to accumulate
such large fortunes into the hands
of any one man or set of men; this
could be done only by the majic
wand of fairy or by the great
power of government.
1t is an apparent and a we'll
known fact that these millions
have been accumulated, through
means of Federal Legislation,
having drift to contralize and
concentrate capital and wealth in
corporations and favored indus
tries, such as the protective tariff.

History has proven that the

fluence of money in and on the

ence begets the existence of the
currupt methods and practice in
our elections, which will, if not
checked, alternately subvert the
free institutions of this country;
for as certain as effect will follow
cause, if the people do not put a
check on the growing influence of
capital and wealth in shaping the
Legislation of the country, these
great principles of Democracy
equal rights to all and favoritism

laws should be framed and passed
with the view of securing or pro-
curing the greatest good to the

the guide of the Legislator; and
the drift of Legislation will con-
tinue to centralize and concentrate
wealth and capital.
The accumulation of millions in
families or in favored classes, will
beget a tallow-candle aristocracy,
this, is, as a general thing, a class
of conceited and selfish people,
who would part more readily with
their gold to corrupt the voters or
to buy a title of nobility, than they
would for a patriotic. or charitable
object. The country has not much
use for these people.

Early Louisiana Heroes.

The native white Louisianians
are descended from a race of he
roes who always had the courage
of their convictions, and were
always ready to seal them with
their lives. They inherit to-day
the spirit of those patriotic
Louisianians, who, even before
the American colonies declared
for independence, were shot to
death in the Place dArmes, of
New Orleans (now Jackson
Square,, for resisting the tyranny
of Spain. The mere recital of the
tragic event is enough to stir a
fever in the blood of age, but it
should make every American feel
a thrill of pride to claim the de-
scendants of such heroes as fell
low cOuntrymen.
1t was in 1859, six years before
the first shot was fired at Licking
ton, that five Louisiana rebels
were led in letters into the pub
lie square by a file of Spanish
soldiers. They were Nicholas
Chavin de Lafreniere, Pierre
Marquis, Joseph Milaet, Jean
Baptiste Noyan and Pierre Ca
reese. Their crime consisted in
having signed a memorial of the
planters of Louisiana, which con-
tanned the following rebellious
and atrocious doctrines: "Liber-
ty is the mother of commerce and
population. Without liberty there
are but few virtues" While the
copies of this memorial were
thrown, one by one, into a fire
by colored man, a herald an
nounced that they were publicly
burned by order of his Excellency,
Don Alexander O'Reilly. who Or
dered the signers to be shot for
high treason against the King of
Spain.
A grenadier stepped forward
to bl ind the eyes of the rebel
martys, whereupon Lafreniere
waved him aside, saying: "No!
think you we are afraid to look
on death?' Then turning around
to the citizens, he waved his hand
in adieu, saying: Farewell,
fellow-citizens! The cry of lib
erty is already heard: it will be
crowned with victoryr' He had
scarcely finished before the her
aid again stepped forward and
cried: "In consequence of his
youth Don Alexander O'Reilly,
Governor of Louisiana, spares
Monsieur de Noyan."
NO! MOI" cried the beardless
young man, with my comrades I
fought; with them / die"
Are you ready?' said the Span
