THE Arkansas Democracy seems to
have pretty nearly succeeded in abol-
lshing itself.
THE PASSENGERS RIGHTS.

THE New York and National authori-
ties have succeeded admirably in keep
ing the Asiatic cholera off from the
main land of America, for which they
deserve all praise. But it begins to be
painfully evident that to accomplish
this result, the safety and rights of the
passengers on the steamers detained at
quarantine have not been adequately
considered.
There were yesterday twenty-one ships
held at upper quarantine, and there was
scarcely anything to prevent any of the
people ON board from contagion. The
spread of the disease among the crew
of the Normannia indicates that the
passengers are far from safe from its
ravages, and that there is great danger
that the plague may assume such proper
tions as will make it exceedingly diff
cult to manage.
While keeping the plague off the
mainland the health authorities ought
not to neglect the rights of the people
who are innocently on board Of the
ships quarantined. To do SO would be
an error that would result almost as
disastrously for the New York residents
as for the unlucky passengers, for it
would be found to be practically impos-
sible to control the spread of the disease
to the land if it once got among the
passengers ON board the quarantined
ships.
1t is to be hoped that the movement
set on foot for the removal of the pas
sengers to ships not infected will be
very vigorously pushed.

THE JOURNALS "IF.s

The Journal is again in trouble. The
facts brought out by the treasury state
ment for August furnish it with text
for more SANDER. What troubles it is
that there was, as compared with Au.
gust, 1891, an increase in internal reve-
nue. receipts of 81 ,56l ,631. more than 10
per cent, and in customs receipts So. 106,-
994, or over 90 per cent, and an increase
in total receipts of s5, las, ,077, or nearly
IS per cent.
Now for professed calamity bowler
this will never do, and for professed
free-trader who claimed that the Nc
Kinley bill would stop all our reve-
nues, it is the bitterest kind of a pill.
To the Journal the cholera may be a
Godsend, in that it interferes with i'm
portation and curtails our increasing
revenue-for it says: "If the present
tendency continues it seems likely that
the secretary's estimate of receipts will
be exceeded and the only thing
in sight to interfere sis the
cholera, which may stop foreign trade
and greatly diminish custom receipts y
The Confederate States, it was said,
robbed the cradle and the grave for
their army" Truly these northern
sympathizers with their successors in
multiplying federal laws are following
very closely in the formers footsteps
when they bank their hopes upon a
plague.
Another source Of apparent grief to
the Journal is the fact that the gold re-
serve has increased during the month
nearly 1900, 900, being now over $ll4,-
600, 900, despite the fact that only about
IL per cent of customs receipts were in
gold certificates against about SO per
cent three years ago. While this re.
suit shows that the efforts of this gov
ernment to cause gold dollars to move
on parity have been successful, it
brings nothing but grief to the Journal,
which can earnestly support n party
whose platform declares in favor of
wildcat" banking.
And again it has recourse to the
convenient "if," by saying Of the silver
held by the treasury that IL is not ex-
actly an available asset, ''if it was all
thrown on the market at once" To-
ward the close an admission is made
which shows well in comparison with
statement in the first part of the article
when II is claimed that while we are
paying S3,00o,oOo more in duties than
one year ago, the August, 1892, receipts
for customs were more than $1,000, 200

A PROTEST.

We have received from one Of the
most beloved clergymen of PROVIDENCE
letter which we take the liberty to
print 1t was presumably designed
for private admonition TO the editors,
but there can be no harm in giving it
this wider publicity, reserving only the
name:
/ believe express the sentiment of n
large portion of your readers when say
/ do not believe that reports OF pugilistic
fights come under the head of Legitimate
news believe you are unjust to your
patrons when you give n column and "a
half of your paper TO an account OF such
~ barbarous practice, and withal two
hideous illustrations.
Many OF your friends and supporters
have hoped that you would make "a paper
that IL would be safe to introduce Into
our families. They do not believe that
dog fights and cock fights and man fights
have any legitimate place in family
paper.
The editors have no idea of replying
to this letter, or of endeavoring to refute
it, because they are themselves in entire
agreement with most of its conclusions
The practice is barbarous, and the pic
lures which are used to illustrate articles
on the subject are as "hideous" as the
reverend gentleman considers them.
We do not think that prize fights ought
to be permitted, nor have we any adj
miration whatever for the toughs and
murderers who are now in New Or
laaro oooiofsner in, cv.,,, anatnof do
cency.
But we do not approve murder or
robbery by printing the details of its
occurrence. We do not approve prize
fights by printing their results. Wed do
what, as a matter Of necessity, every
newspaper in the United States of any
consequence is compelled to do, simply
because nine out Of ten of our readers,
as of theirs, do consider the prize fights
as part Of the legitimate news of the
day. We doubt whether there is a
prominent paper in the country that
could omit all prize fight news for six
months without such serious loss OF
both circulation and advertising as to
endanger its very existence.
1t is matter Of necessity laid upon
the conductors of this or any paper to
print the news. as the term is almost
universally understood, or go out of
business. We prefer the former alter
native, and will only ask those of our
readers who disagree with us to help all
that they can to displace brutality by
honest and healthy athletic interest.
The Germans have many athletes but
no pugilists. Let us learn from them
in this respect as much and as fast as
we can. And if we find in our papers
something which we don't like, let's all
"skip' it and try to believe that the
editors probably dislike it as much or
more.

permit such tactics as these hot-headed
gentlemen are now advocating, but the
great Liberal leader cannot stop the How
of political anarchistic doctrine which
they seem determined to keep going
during the parliamentary recess.
II is one of the discouragements OF
progressives that they no sooner win a
battle from their legitimate opponents
than they have at once to begin as strong
and more virulent conflict with the
uneasy and unwise forces within their
ranks to save themselves from homi-
eide.

After tho passage Of the Mckinley
law the figures are very striking:
,so, ProdSst, Ps,S,sS kegs. Per s1;S Pound. nd
According to The Iron Age the price at
the present time is 0-l0 cents pound.
The Mckinley duty is . cents.
1t is shown by the preceding tables
that when protective duty was put on
wire nails in 1883 production immedi-
htely increased and the price fell. This
went on continually until in 1890, the
Sear of the passage Of the Mckinley
law, wire nails were actually selling at
Q $40 cents a pound, or 2-i0 cents less
that the duty.
Since the passage of the Mckinley law
(which reduced tho duty to Q cents
pound) the price has fallen still more,
selling in 1901 at $40 cents a pound,
or 2-10 of cent less than the duty. To
day the production has reached 1900, 900
kegs, and wire nails are sold for 6-i0
cents pound, or 4-10 of cent less than
the "tax" which Grover Cleveland says
enters into the price Of every dutiabls
article.
The duty on pig iron, fixed by the act
of 1888, was $40 Of cent per pound.
This was left unchanged by the McKin-
lev law

less than the average for August during
the past six years.
If the customs receipts for August, 1892,
a light month, were over 100000 less
than the average for the past six years,
does it not conclusively show that the
Mckinley bill in its workings is a
marked advance toward the reduction
of the annual taxes paid by the great
mass of the common people, who through
the workings of that bill have praci-
cally free breakfast table-in tea, cof-
fee and sugar, as against all those aiti-

TARIFF AND PRICES.
THE EXACT EFFECT OF ONE UPON
THE OTHER.

somo Intsrssting Figures for the Cos
temptation OF Free Trsders-The cost
Of Iron and steel 90 the Consumer De-
creased by the Tariff.
Nothing demonstrates moro conclu-
sively the fallacy of Grover Cleveland's
proposition that the tariff is tax than
the statistics bearing on the iron and
steel industry. The facts are that with
out any exception manufactured articles
are cheaper today than In 1860, and that
frequently the price is less than the
duty. 1t is also true that as rule the
Mckinley law has reduced the cost OF
such articles.
In 1870 the price of steel rails was
e106.75 ton. Today steel rails sell for
S28 ton and even less. At the same
time production has steadily increased.
Wages also have risen.
Before 1853 very few wire nails were
made in this country. In that year con-
gress placed duty Of cents pound
on them. Previously the duty had
been ad valorem, under general clause
of the tariff law, and was not really
protective. The following table demon
strates that the price under the old
schedule of duties grew gradually less,
and that the production grew greater
year by year:
