In THE annual report of the treasur-
or of the Arlington Wooden Mills, the
following paragraph appears:
~ have been your treasurer for a
consecutive period CT 20 years. During
that period the average earnings have
been POS per cent. on the capital. The
earnings last year were near three and
Il half times those of the year before ;
and there is every indication chat the
current year will be the most proiita-
bic one in the company's history"
A net profit of over twenty per cent.
for twenty years is the direct effect OF
the high tariff tax on oolen goods used
by the poor people ofthis country. And
yet the protectionists say the tariffre-
bounds chiefly to the interest of the
poor people, and, unfortunately for the
latter, many Of them are so ill-iniormed
that they really believe what the only
real benefciaries of the Mckinley bill,
the protected mill and mine owners,
tell them, and they vote accordingly at
every recurring election.

In THE closing hours of the last ses-
sion of Congress Mr.. Enloe, of Tennes-
see, made speech, in which he said, in
effect, that Commissioner Raum, of the
Pensions Bureau, is the greatest show
on earth, inasmuch as no other man
could have conducted the business OF
his office as he has, and escaped the
lunatic asylum or the penitentiary.
And what Mr.. Enloe said is true ;
for on the evidence of his own friends
and clerks, no other public Office was
ever before conducted as the pensions
Office has been since Mr.. Raum became
its chief. But Mr.. Raum's heart, during
the war between the States, beat warm
for his country's cause, and he stands in
with the pension claim agents, and
those agents make large contributions
TO the republican campaign fund.

CONGRESSMAN JONATHAN 2. DOLL
YER of Iowa says Commissioner Raum' S
record as soldier and citizen may
be compared with that of any citizen OF
the United States Why, certainly 1t
might be. But it is no less certain, that
is. if the sworn testimony ofunimpeach-
able witnesses can be relied upon. that
the record of no other citizen of the
country could be made to appear III Il
worse light By the comparison.

they have finally determined to follow
the example ofthe strikers. They have
therefore formed union, and have re-
solved that they will hereafter employ
no union men, and that no walking del
egate shall be admitted TO the premises
on which they are engaged. Such a
course is really the best one that could
have been adopted for reliable, indus
trious and skillful workmen, for such
men can always find constant and per-
mancnt employment, and always com
mand good wages.
