THE COOLEY REWARD IN DEMAND.
Sheriff Mccormick and All His Deputies
Put In Claim for 1t.

There is dispute as to who is en-
titled to the 81 500 reward offered fol
the notorious Frank Cooley. The re.
ward was offered conformity by the
County Commissioners, the Georges
township school directors and Geor-
ges township citizens. At recent
meeting Of this school board to set
tie the matter five persons put in a
claim for share in the reward
The claimants are Sheriff McCor-
mick, Walter w. Laughed, William
Killing, Frank Smith and Albert
johnson. Sheriff Mccormick mod
estly claims that he is entitled to all
the rewards, as. the other claimants
were simply in his employ, but the
latter protest most emphatically
against the proposed settlement OF
the case. The school directors didn' t
want to settle the contention off hand,
SO they adjourned without doing any
thing. The County Commissioners
will meet in a few days to decide
who shall have the reward they offer

formed the marriage service at the

rather prolonged. What one word
would you suggest as descriptive Of
the clergyman's part? Would "mar-
rified" be suitable? II marrified Miss
So-and so.'
A PERPLExED CLERGYMAN
No, "marrify" will not do. There
woulG be too strong a temptation to
use It as a rhyme for 'scarify" Per-
haps 'weddify' would be better.
But the resources of the language do
not furnish any word to meet the
real requirements Of tho case. Orig
inally the marrying was the work
of him who united others in wedlock.
Those who were so united were
welded" persons. Gradually those
thus joined have secured the use OF
the word which once belonged to the
priest till the priest is crowded Of
bis own ground or made to share it
in such a way as leads to the diem
ma Of our correspondent.
The fact is, the men who marry
in the original meaning of the word
have allowed the welded ones to
usurp and take possession Of . philo-
logical stronghold. In their salts
faction in doing a good work and,
incidentally, receiving the fees At
tached thereto, the priests have fail
ed to insist on their rights, and 50
have been forced into an etymologi-
cal quandary. The only escape IL
by some word labyrinth, and the on
ly satisfaction will be to increase the

How it works as a Tax.
From the Columbian Independent.

Oh, no, the tariff is not tax, &C.
cording to Republican Interpretation
of it. But some one acutely asks
why the price of tin went up when
the tariff was increased on imported
tin2 Did it go up without any cause
whatever, or was it because the in
crease of duty was added to its price?
On the other hand, when the tariff
on sugar was reduced, why did the
price Of sugar go down? Did it go
down merely for fun, or as neces-
sary consequence of the duty going
down? In either case it is quite
clear that the duty, whether raised
or lowered, had something to do
with the price paid by our people.
Such being the fact, isn't it equiva-
lent to tax imposed upon them-a
tax raised or lowered as the tariff is
increased or reduced.

Formerly it was Irish cheap labor
Now it is Italian cheap labor.
Years ago Irish immigrants driven
from their own country by hard times
and scarcity of employment hocked
here by the thousands in search Of
work. They flooded the community
with Irish cheap labor. They built
our railroads, cleaned our streets
worked on our public Improvements
and supplied Irish cheap labor gen
orally.
Now they have been forced out Of
this field either into idleness or into
higher grades OF employment, where
they have supplanted other working
men.
To-day it is the Italians who are
overrunning and monopolizing the
field with Italian cheap labor. They
have taken the place of the Irish il
building railroads, laboring on pub
lie improvements, working in the
streets, and so on.
While many Italian emigrants &C
to South America hordes of then
have flocked here and the tide is
steadily rising. Generally they are
peaceable and law abiding enough
though some of them are rather free
with the stiletto, and others may give
us serious trouble, as in the case o
the New Orleans riot But they liv,
cheap, work cheap and hence have
taken employment from thousands o
laborers who were here before them
1t is all Italian cheap labor now.
If Republican rule is continued
and protection maintained and in
creased the inevitable consequence
must be, to draw English cheap la
Dor to this country. But unfortun
ately for American wage earners i
will not be like Irish cheap labor o.
Italian cheap labor-that is, common
unskilled labor 1t will be English
cheap skilled labor.
When the mills of Birmingham ant
Lancashire are closed and their oper
| atives thrown out of employment b,
Republican protection in this coun
try the tide of immigration which
will set in to America will not be O
common laborers but skilled EN-
ployes and mill workers. 1t is thi
class that will flock to our shore
seeking employment in the factories
and mills of our great industrial cen
tres.
What the effect will be must b.
plain to every one. There will b.
more men than employment, NOR
skilled laborers than skilled labor
Naturally competition will be increas
ed and wages lowered by the influ,
of English cheap labor. The result
will be dissatisfaction and distress
bard times and scarcity Of employ
ment.
OF course, labor disputes, lockout
and strikes will follow, and, as ha
turned ont in the case of Homestead
the American employees will get tn
worst Of it. They will be driven in
to idleness and forced to emigrat
West in search of employment or fac
starvation at home.
/ This condition Of affairs can hay
but one result. The party of protec
tion will have to abandon protection
stop the immigration of Englisl
cheap labor, or be hurled from powe
by ruined and indignant wage earn

x'KINLEY's "BALAscE OF TRADE.
False Claim That Money from Europe
Is Flowing Into the Country!

Governor Mckinley in his receni
speech in Nebraska spoke with con
tempt of the we'll known economic
law that imports must be paid fol
with exports. The manner in which
he sought to prove the falsity o.
doctrine is an excellent illustration
Of his unfair use of statistics. Ht
pointed triumphantly to the fact
that during the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1892. we exported nearly
5000, 009 more than we imported
This sum-" he exclaimed "has
been paid US by the foreigners, aud
we have it right here in the United
States in circulation among the
people"
This was pretty piece of decep
tion to palm off upon Nebraska far
mers, who believe that one of the
greatest needs of the time is more
money in the country. This decep-
tion might. have worked with his
hearers at the moment, since they
did not have the United States
treasury reports in their hands to
verify his statement. These reports
absolutely overthrow McKinley's
preposterous claim that there is
now nearly 5000, 100000 more mon.
ey in the country than last year.
The monthly reports of the treas
ury, which are accessible to every,
body. show that the amount of cur
rency of all kinds in circulation on
Dec. l, 1891, was 81, SIT, 100000, and
that on Aug. l, 1892, it was 81 $780,
100000 Here is an increase of
only $23,000,000, which is more than
accounted for by the issue of treas
ury certificates for the purchase OF
silver bullion under the law of 1890.
But there is still more condu-
Give proof that the Mckinley law
has not caused money to STOW into
the country" Along with the year
ly reports of exports and imports
of merchandise the treasury depart
ment publishes a statement of the
movements of gold and silver coin
and bullion between the United
States and foreign countries. This
statement shows that we not only
did not get back McKinley's $780,
600, 900, "balance of trade" and that
we actually sent abroad $13,35l, 900
more in gold and silver than we i'm
ported.
Governor Mckinley will doubtless
repeat this attempt to delude the
people by his talk about balance of
trade" about his tariff law increas-
ing the circulation Of money in the
country; but before he goes any
futher he ought to have the treasury
department suppress its reports.

closes powerful article in the St.
Louis Republic, on the relation OF
the tariff of the farmer, in the follow
ing manner:
sNow the price of wheat in those
markets is fixed by open and free
competition between American, Rus
sian, Indian and other wheat sup
plies. In other words, our farmer
sells his wheat at the price made for
him in the open free trade markets
Of the world in competition with the
wheat Of farmers who employ the
cheapest labor of the world. or our
great wheat crop of last year quite
two bushels out of every five were
thus sold, and the market price OF
the entire crop was established by
this sale. There are now two prices
for the American farmers wheat,
one when he sells Carnegie and
Whitman and other home protected
manufacturers and another when he
sells to the manufacturers of Leeds,
Manchester and Staffordshire. Both
pay him the same for his product.
But when be comes to buy what he
wishes to get in exchange for his
wheat then he finds a great differ
ence. The Englishman will give
him at least one-third more things,
such as wooden goods, and much
greater quantities of pottery, table
ware, glass, iron and steel utensils,
tinware, sewing machines and the
like. But if he makes this bargain,
and attempts to bring these needed
things home with him, his Govern
ment will take one third of them
from him as a fine for buying from
his home ustomer-although his
home customer pays him not a cent
more for his wheat than does his
foreign customer.
What, then, is the plain effect, SC
far as the American farmer is con-
cerned? Exactly the same as if the
Government sent to his granary and
took from him one third Of his wheat
before he was permitted to sell any
part of it for himself and used part
of that third for public revenue, but
most Of it for the protected indus
tries.
The farmer, therefore, gets for his
own use only two-thhds of what
his wheat sells for in the free trade
markets. And the Government, by
forcing him to buy in the protected
home market from customers thai
charge him so per cent more for his
purchases, virtually takes from hin
third of his wheat for the bene
fit of these customers. Let the farm
er remember this as he sows his
wheat this fall Every third furrov
that he plows, every third round
that he makes with harrow or drill
is his tariff furrow or his tariffround
Two thirds only of his hard WORK
does the Government permit him Il
keep for himself"
He thoughly believes in it.-Mr

This thrilling story comes from Ala
bama.
In the year 1882, about the latter part
OF March, l, with some of my friends who
were ON visit to me, went out to an old
ediiice about 200 yards from the house one
evening to enjoy ourselves over a game OF
seven-up.
| When we left the house not one of us
had the least idea that the rays of the sun
would be followed by the black wings of
destruction

about two or three hours. | had the ace.
deuce, queen and jack of trumps. My OBJ
ponent had just thrown down the ten spot
of clubs, and was just in the act of tax
ing it with my jack when 1 was arrested
by loud numbering noise that sounded
like the roaring of a train, but a hundred
times louder
| jumped to my feet and ran to the door.
What | saw as put my head through the
opening will remain with me to my dying
day,
The space above me was as dark as
pitch, except when the flash of lightning
made little light, and by one of these
flashes | could see old timbers, shingles
tree tops and everything imaginable flying
about in every direction.
| sprang to the middle of the room,
clasped my friend to my breast and cried:
I'VE are lost Oh, God, save us!'
The words had scarcely left my lips
when, oh, hOrrorsl | saw the top of the
old barn torn from its bed and hurled tode-
struction, folded in the arms of the mighty
destroyer
The old logs were being scattered around
me. felt the floor moving under my feet, |
everything turned dark and knew no
more till opened my eyes and found the /.
kindly face of the doctor bending over me. /

On inquiring afterward, l found out that
my friends never received a scratch. When
the top Of the old barn was torn off, they
ran out into the yard and lay fiat on the
ground, hugging the roots Of a large
stump.

night, and never see a cloud rising but
