A Proclamation by President Harrison.
OCTOBER p is TO BE OBSERVED AS GEN.
ERAL HOLIDAY.

President Harrison, complying with the
Act of Congress OF June 18th, has issued
his proclamation making Friday, Oct. 81 a
general holiday. This is the recognition
OF the movement to put the celebration of
the 4OOth anniversary of the discovery of
America into the hands of all the people
by giving 1t to the institution closest to
the people and most characteristic of the
people-the public school.
The movement undertaken by the Ma
tional Educational Association, through
an executive committee, which has so pre-
sented It as to gain the endorsement of
the press and general popular acceptance
proclamation is as follows:
Whereas, by joint resolution approved
June 29, 1892, it was resolved by the Sem
ate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress as
sembled. "That the President of the Unit
ed States be authorized and directed to Is
sue proclamation recommending to the
people the observance in all their localities
OF the 4O0th anniversary of the discovery
OF America, on Oct. 21, 1892, by public
demonstration and by suitable exercises
in their schools and other places OF assem-
bly.u
Now therefore, |, BENJAMIN Harrison.
President OF the United States OF America.
in pursuance Of the aforesaid joint resolu-
ton, do hereby appoint Friday, Oct. 81,
1892, the four hundredth anniversary OF
the discovery of America by Columbus, as
a general holiday for the people OF the U.
). On that day let the people so far as
possible, cease from toll and devote them
selves to such exercises as may best ex-
press honor to the discoverer and their
appreciation of the great achievements Of
the four completed centuries of American
life.
Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer
of progress and enlightenment. The sys-
TEN OF universal education is in our age
the most prominent and salutary feature
of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is
peculiarly appropriate that the schools be
made by the people the center OF the days
demonstration. Let the national flag
float over every schoolhouse in the coun-
try and the exercises be such as shall inn
press upon our youth the patriotic duties
of American citizenship.
In the churches ana other places of as
sembly of the people let there be express
sions of gratitude to Divine Providence
for the devont faith of the discoverer and
for the Divine care and guidance which
has directed our history and so abundant
ly blessed our people.
In testimony whereof | have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city OF Washington this 21st
day of July. in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and ninety two,
and of the independence of the United
states the one hundred and seventeenth.

THE TARIFF BUILT 1T
THE TOWN or HOMESTEAD THE
RESULT OF PROTECTION.
A System That Enables Workmen to
Earn from IS to s14 per Day Needs No
Further Recomm mendation-Such Wages


Unheard of in Free Trade England.
According to so good a Democratic
authority as the New York World, the
four or five Thousand workmen in the
Carnegie mills have been earning on the
average between SIS and $50 week.
But there are only 1926 skilled workmen
whose wages are affected by the pro.
posed changes in the schedule, and these
men have been earning immensely more
than that. An official statement of the
wages paid at Homestead shows that in
the slabbing mill heater has been earn.
ing $6.37 day; a screwman, e6.sl day,
heaters helper, $4.53 a day; and roll
engineers, roll tablemen and shearmen,
$3.50 a day. In the plate mill wages
are upon even higher level. Rollers
get $9.3l day; screwmen, 81 GO; table
men, $685.; the first shearman. $500;
heaters helper, $40, and heater S14.6G a
day. We submit that wages running
from $3 to $14 day do not represent
poverty" and if the governor We're not
more anxious to make political point
than to convey a truthfulH apression he
would not 50 describe the situation.
Talk of poverty; here is the New York
Worlds description of Homestead:
''The town is about thirteen years old.
1t has been built, not by the Carnegies,
but the Carnegies' workmen. Most Of
the residences in Homestead are owned
by their tenants. There are no tene
ment houses, no flats and no hovels
Each house has its plot Of ground in
front and rear. The town has its opera
house,. schools, churches and halls for
the various social organizations to which
the young people belong. II has electric
light, good sidewalks, very fair streets
and, best Of all, an intelligent, progress
i've and peaceable class Of citizens"
Our Democratic friends are very insist /
ent that the tariff is responsible for the
troubles. VIII any of them
tell us how they escape the conclusion
that the tariff is responsible for the crea-
ton of such towns as Homestead, with
thrifty population living in houses which
they own, with an absence of tenements /
or novels, and with workmen receiving T
as high wages as fourteen dollars day: /
And would any Of them like to print an
accurate description of any of the Brit
sh towns devoted to like industries and
place it side by side with The Worlds
description of Homestead? If they can
point US to single iron manufacturing
own in England where such wages and
such comfort prevail as at Homestead
We will concede that the protective tariff
5 not an advantage to American wage

When the principle of free trade be.
comes identified with the cause of an
archy and the destruction of the right
of property, as its leading advocates
among us are frantically tending to
identify it, all thought of its continuing
to receive serious consideration will
have to be abandoned for many years to
follow. This country is not ready for
such a combination yet. Down with
anarchy! Let law and order reign

Albert A., son of Alonzo A. Red
way of Orange, committed suicide at
his home IN North Cambridge, Mass.
July "a, by cutting his throat. Mr..
kedway was born in Calais in 1854 :,
but passed most of his life in Mont
pelier, where he was graduated from
the Washington County Grammar
School in 1872. He went to Amherst
College and was graduated in 1876 and
then began a business career, being at
the time of his death member of the
firm of j. Wright 4 Co., tobacco
dealers, of Boston. Mr.. Redway had
suffered from two attacks of the grip
the last in May Of this year. He did
not recover and lately his mind had be-
come affected. He went to Virginia
for his health but received little if any
benefit from the trip. Mr.. Redway
appreciated his condition and was much
depressed by 1t. He feared that he
would not recover and told friend so,
saving, at the same time, that he was
willing to try the effect of special treat
ment for his malady. Sunday morn
ing there was a consultation of physi-
clans and it was decided that Mr.. Red
way should 90 to the Mclean Asylum
that afternoon. While the prepara-
tions for his departure werein progress
he went to the closet and handed out
white waistcoat with the remark, Il
euess we'd better take that. A mo-
meut later he reached for razor back
on a shelf and cut his throat. He fell
back into his wife's arms and died in
two minutes. He leaves a widow and /
two daughters, aged nine and two
years, respectively.
