theory of rights far beyond this, we must i
nOs be altogether astonished to find that
the tariff, withall those promises with
which it has been commented to the
favor Of the working-man, has become
one of the most effective propagators of
socialistic ideas.
The working-men will gradually open
their eyes to the fact that those fair
speeches have most cruelty deceived
them. They have only to look at the
rates OF wages in the different countries
of the world to satisfy themselves that
high wages are not caused by q high
protective tariff, and that low wages are
not caused by the absence ola high tariff
We are constantly told, when comparing
American wages with English wages,
that wages in the United States are
much higher than wages in England be-
cause we are blessed WITH protective
system while Englandis is not. But it is
notorious fact that wages in free trade
England range much high than wages
in Germany and in other European
countries blessed with protective tariff.
Now II in one high-tariff country wages
are higher than in one free-trade coun-
try, and il at the same time wages in
that free trade country axe higher than
in several high-tariff countries, then it
cannot possibly be that the high tariff
makes high rate of wages and tho
absence of the tariff low one.
If the wOrking-man purSuas his in
quiries further, he will find that during
that famous period when the United
States had a low tariff, from 1916 to 1861,
wages here were as much higher as those
in any European country as they are
now, and that during that low tariff
period they were steadily rising, He
will find that wages in this country have
always been higher than European
wages, not on account of any tariff. but on
account Of the circumstances surround
ing us-the large quantity Of cheap,
fertile, and easily accessible land; the
almost inexhaustible abundance and
and variety Of natural resources inviting
enterprises; the numherless opportunities
for fruitful activity; the exceptional
energy and productiveness OF labor in
this country; and SO on. He will find
that tho wages of persons engaged in
such labor as is not protected by any
tariff at all, such as employees of trans.
p0rtation companies, house-scrvants
bricklayers, carpenters, bakers, long,
shoremen, plastarers. and many others
are among the highest, compared with
corresponding wages in Europe. Final.
ly. he will find that employment and
wages are as dependent as on the labor
market and tie state OF business in
high-tariff America as in free-tradt
England, and no less; that labor organi-
cations have as much influence upon
such things here us in England, and ne
more; and that the promises with which
the protective policy is commended tc
the favor Of the laboring-men cannot
possibly be fulfilled by any tariff law
and are therefore delusion a nd a snare

A Maryland Republican postmaster
has lost his jOb-not because of "perni..
cious activity" but because of lack of
activity looking to the denomination Of
the nan who gave him his job-BENJA-
MIN HARRISON. 1t appears that as a
federal office holdes he failed to get him
self elected as a delegate to the Min
neapolis convention that he might cast
his vote for the present occupant of the
White House. This lie neglected to do
and another Republican in the same
town got the delegation, and as his price
for his vote for HARRISON demanded the
post office. 1t was on a par With other
deals OF similar nature at Minneapolis
and the president delivered the goods.
Whew! but the postmaster who got
bounced was hot and he has no hcsitancy
about expressing his feelings. He wrote
a astinging letter to the big Philadelphia
merchant who writes "Postmasier-gener-
al" after his name as his price for big
wad to the Republican campaign fund.
In it he makes the direct charge that he
was removed solely that the postof1ice
might ba given to another who voted for
the nomination Of HARRISON, with the
office as price Of that vote. His letter
closes as follows:
Under this statement OF facts, the gross
injustice with which you treated me, the
almost indecent haste with which it was
done, are strongly acceltuated by the
fact that the person whom you permitted
to dictate to you was clothed with no
other authority than the power Of vote
for or against the denomination of the
president. How far these things stood
tn each other in relation of cause and
effect is question which each one can
decide for himself. and in view OF the
charges generally made as to the man
ner in which the presidents renomina-
tiOn was effected, it may prove an inter-
esting question.
While the public are accurately in
formed as to the exact number of Office
holders upon the floor Of tie convention.
it is misfortune that they are not
equally well informed as to the number
OF office-brokers there. to CRAFTY one OF
whom you jumped at the opportunity to
sacrifice faithful servant.

An error in the Republican state
platform is being generally published
throughout the state. 1t reads "our ex-
port trade has reached the enormous
total of two billion dollars" when it
should read 'over one billion dOllars."-
Armour Chronicle.
What's billion or two dollars out of
the way in such conglomoration Of
egotistical verbosity as the Republican
platform? It's comedy Of errors all
through.

Those Chicago fellows are schemera.
Chicago wanted $5,O00,O00 in the way OF
a government appropriation for the

priated S2,50OOo0. Now the managers
Of the exposition propose to have the
s2,5Oo. 900 appropriation in the shape OF
o0-cent souvenir coins for each Of which
they expect to realize S1,O0. In this way
the government gift can be boosted to
the IS, ,OO0,OyO originally asked for.

WASHINGTON Feb 16.-Prof. VIM.
toey, in speaking to a Post reporter
about the brilliant aurora borealis
Saturday night, said that all
though the sight was a very fine
ons yet the greatest display of this char
acter he had ever witnessed was in
1856 or 1857. when the lights were seen
as far south as Havana Many the
ories,' he continued, have leen nd-
vanced as to the cause and extent of
the auroras but after all it is pretty
much guesswork. 1t would seem easy
enough to determine whether when the
lights are visible at the north pole they
are visible at the south, yet this point
has never been settled. If the theory
that the lights arc caused by cleo
tric currents thrown off from the
pole be true, they should be visible
both north and south simultaneously.
We have records of observations as
early as 502 think it is n fact that
