THE hope that the Democratic ma
jority In Congress would learn something
from the great business depression of the
country and conclude to leave the tariff
alone, proves vain. Already the Ways
Means and Committee is at work on a
bill, or rather have in their possession a
bill, which will in a few weeks be reported.
This bill, member of the committee
says, is 30 radical in the direction of
free trade that, in comparison, the Mills
bill was protection measure. No re-
gard will be paid to home industries,
the principle being American and Amer
ican manufacturers be. The members
of the committee that will have special
charge of the bill are all from the South
and are known to be favorable to the
lowest possible tariff consistent with
raising the needed revenue. In the face
of all these things the outlook for the
country in the way of mills starting and
business booming is gloomy in the ex-
treme.

PUBLIC OPINION.

GOV. M'KINLEY AT EAST LIVERPOOL.
Cleveland Leader.
Major MeKinleys impromptu speech
at East Liverpool Tuesday night served
notice of his determination to press the
fighting upon the tariff throughout the
campaign, and the enthusiastic reception
accorded his remarks in that notable in
dustrial center, for which protection has
done so much, was an auspicious indi-
cation of the feeling everywhere through
out the State. Ohio has never gone
Democratic when the battle has been
fought along national lines and with
national issues, and no reason exists for
believing that it will do so now. With
mills shut down, and the country under
| going a general depression in business,
largely as the result of public distrust OF
the Democratic party, it would Oe re-
| markable, indeed, if the Buckeye State
were to go back on its time -honored
record. We have no fear that it will.
The interest which is already felt is the
best evidence that Republicans are in
earnest, and mean to do their duty
this year at the polls, and whenever
the party in Ohio is thoroughly aroused
victory is certain. The only possible
danger to be encountered this year will
be from over confidence, and that we
believe will be overcome by the thorough
organization which will be in existence
long before the end of the campaign.

SENATOR SHERMAN, in speech in the
Senate last week, took to task those who
for many years have attempted to
traduce him and literally f1ayed alive
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, who, as a
large owner of silver mines, has led the
attack on Sherman. Mr.. Sherman quoted
from Stewards speeches to show that the
latter gentleman both favored and voted
for single gold standard, before be be-
came an owner of silver. He also again
explained his connection with the Sher-
man purchase law and told facts in such
a plain way as to make his Democratic
colleagues vince under the scortching
arraignment for their inconsistency. The
speech is perhaps the strongest ever
delivered by the veteran inancier and
should be placed in the hands of every
voter in Ohio, as it furnishes lucid and
clear review of the financial legislation
since 1873.

No MATTER if the Goyernment ex-

No MATTER if the Government eX-
penditures are in excess of the receipts,
the Democracy is going ahead to reduce
the tariff. They have no idea how they
will provide for the deficiency but will
reduce the tariff anyhow. The tariff
will be reduced to free trade basis even
if the country goes into bankruptcy.
They said they would reduce it, and
they will reduce it, because they said
they would reduce it. The condition of
the country, or the wants of the people,
or protests, have no place when the tariff
is to be reduced.

Study Simplicity.

This truthful and sensible advice comes
from the Ohio Teacher, and is directed
to teachers: You need to study simplici-
ty in your explanations. Children never
go at things in a roundabout way, nor
do they expect others TO do so. Aim to
say Just what you mean in language
your pupils can comprehend. We have
heard teachers talking to their classes in
language no more ineligible to the pu-
pill than so much Greek. 1t is not neces-
sary to talk down" to children, but it is
necessary to come within their compre-
hension if they are to be benefited.

THAT there is a great difference be-

THAT there is a great difference be-
tween the panic of '7S, which was caused
largely by deprecated and fiuctuating
currency, and the present panic, which
is mainly an industrial disturbance
caused by distrust of the action on the
tariff, is well shown by the New York
Tribune. From '73 to '76 the iron out
put was reduced only % per cent. In
the last three months it has been curtah-
ed 40 per cent, and this comparison
holds good in the cotton and wooden in
dustries in as great degree. The
Tribune says: "Under the laws exactly
as they now stand the country touched
the highest point of prosperity and in
dustrial development it had ever attained
in October of last year. But immedi-
ately after the result of the election was
known, with the same laws in operation,
there began the depression which has
already produced such startling effects
The disorder produced by the crash OF
1873 was greater than has yet been real
ized-a far greater proportion of the
banks were forced to suspend payments,
the premium paid for money was much
higher, and the paralysis Of exchanges
between different sections was much
greater. At that time the currency was
of constantly changing value, but now it
is all as good as gold. The evident truth
is that this year the danger is one which
goes directly to the industries them
selves. They are paralyzed because they
are threatened with the unchecked COM
petition of foreign labor"

Great Business

The Hoke Smith administration now has
a number of detectives in this community
hunting down the old pensioners OF the
Union army. They pretend to have some
other business, but from the questions
they ask the people concerning the old
soldiers who have been drawing pensions
and are now suspended they have given
the snap away. This would not seem to
be great business for great party, but
then the party is only a partial remove
from the one that hunted the Union
soldiers with bloodhounds. - Guernsey

THE FORTNIGHT TARIFF BILL.

THE FORTNIGHT TARlFF BILL.
New York Press.
Fourteen working days to hear all that
the great industrial interests of the
United States have to say on the tariff
question: Fourteen days of five or six
hours each to hear the evidence which
the myriad interests affected in one way
and another by a change in the tariff
Mining, iron and steel, cotton, wool, silk
fax, hemp, chemicals, earthenware
glass, knit goods, hats, caps, clothing
employing millions of hands, affecting
the income and home life of millions of
people, all to be decided on the testimony
of fortnight, and weeks notice to
prepare!
In 1882 the Tariff Commission, com,
posed of experts, allotted six months for
this work, while Mckinley and his col
leagues gave many months to a careful
investigation of the condition of all in
dustries. In view of the general stag
nation of manufacturing at the present
time The Press thinks more time should
be allowed to make full and exhaustive
inquiry into the exact condition of each
industry. with view of ascertaining its
present needs.
The announcement that fourteen days
only will be allowed indicates that Mr..
Wilson and majority of the committee
have made up their minds what they
will do, and that the granting of any
hearing at all is merely to allay the
growing public sentiment that with a
totally different condition confronting
Congress the party in power should at
least make show of deliberation.
Fourteen days for testimony is not likely
to deceive any one.

the county between the time the goods
are listed and the date upon which the
regular collections are made. The Coun-
ty Treasurers think they should have au-
thority to bring attachment proceedings
in such cases.

IMMIGRATION AND LABOR.

Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
The scarcity of work has naturally
attracted attention to the influx of for
eigners of the laboring classes. Very
nearly 100000 of these, mostly from
Central Europe and of the class who
compete with Americans in the mines
and mills, in the construction of high
ways, ditching, sewering and the like,
landed at our ports during the four
months ending last June. In spite OF
laws against the importation of contract
laborers the foreigners still flock hither
by hundreds of thousands. Few of them
come under contract, but they get here
nevertheless. The American Economist
notes that in February last, the last
month of Republican administration,
only 1856 immigrants were allowed to
land in New York. In March, under
Democratic rule, the number increased
to ~ 2.639, in April to z, POI, and in May
to $685..
The Republicans have been accused
of fostering foreign immigration by
keeping the tariff too higs. If the
Democrats inaugurate their policy of a
low or revenue tariff, then immigration
should fall off as result of lower wages
and less work. This is very likely to
happen. The present industrial de-
preston has thrown idle hundreds of
thousands of men employed in mines,
mills, factories and furnaces, wages are
being reduced where employment is
being continued, and thousands of
Hungarians, Italians, and other foreign
ers are leaving the country. They see
nothing to encourage them to stay.
These new comers can well be spared
under the circumstances. There is little
for them to do here now, and there will
be less if the Democratic policy of free
trade is carried into effect. One year
ago workmen had the courage to resist
wage reductions by striking, but who
hears of strike now? No one can tell
what the future may reveal. The Dem
ocratic party is in power and can do as
it pleases with the tariff. 1t may not
dare to make the changes it stands
pledged to make. If it does times will
be worse than they are now. The
promised "boom" which was to follow
Democratic success has not yet material
lied, and wage workers must not depend
too confidently upon abundant work and
better wages as a result of "tariff re-
FORM" Foreign immigration may fall
off, but that will not compensate our
own toilers for enforced idleness and
reduced wages.
