No wELL-INFoRMED citizen OF this
country denies that the late Mr.. Blaine
was a protectionist and yet he con-
ceded that the cost of labor in the man
ufacture of cotton goods in this coun'
try is no higher than it is abroad. But
notwithstanding this, the protected
cotton manufacturers Of the North pro-
test against proposed reduction in the
tariff on imported cotton goods, upon
the alleged ground that by it they arc
enabled to pay their labor higher wages
than those paid by their foreign com
petitors. 1t is hardly possible that the

posed to be engaged in preparing new

TUESDAY EVENING. OCT. 81, 1888.
MIR. JOHN 5. WISE made speech at

Mr.. JOHN S. WISE made speech at
a republican meeting in New York last
week, in which he asserted that the
democrats chad sent out spies to hunt
down poor soldiers and overhaul their
records and find some plausible pretext
for robbing them of their little pen
sions." He took pains not to say that
the democrat who is guilty OF the al
legged outrage to which he refers, is ("
northern ex-soldier, the Commissioner
of Pensions, and that he was melted to
commit it by the discovery that the
shoes OF men drawing pensions for al
legged inability to walk, are worn
down at the heels, and that others who
are disabled by the loss Of fingers, suf-
fered that loss long after the war by
their awkward handling Of feed cutting
machines.

ACCORDING to a recent official re-
port presented to Congress, 1l,471, of
the more than one hundred thousand
people holding Office under the govern
ment, draw salaries aggregating over
eighteen million dollars year. How
much must ali of them draw? What
with pensions and salaries, it is no
longer wonder that those who are
taxed to pay both, but who draw Meth
er, have become dissatisfied and discon-
tented. Some must weep while others
laugh, but the country in which the
many cry while the few giggle, is in
any thing else than favorable condi-
ton

senger train on the Cincinnati, Hamil-

fifty miles an hour, suddenly the boiler

THAT THE "moth of averice," as ex-
President Harrison calls it, has "cut
into the hearts of the present genera
tion," is, according to that gentleman,
proved by the fact that the democratic
Secretary of the Interior has just called
for one hundred and sixty million dol
lars for pensions to soldiers of q wal, the
last shot in which was fired nearly
twenty-nine years ago, and when nearly
all the solliers against whom those re-
ferred to fought, are in the bivouac OF
the dead. But trihes light as air, to
people of Mr.. Harrison's mold, on
certain subjects, are proofs as strong as
holy writ. Fairer-minded men are not
so inclined.

Mr.. DAVID LUBIS of Sacramento,
unlike Mr.. Henry George of New York,
who thinks that nothing else should be
taxed exceptland, says that land should
be exempt from taxation; but that he
is even worse crank than Mr.. George,
is proved by the fact that he also says,
and has written a book in which to say
it, that farm products should be moved
as mail matter, at the same rate for all
distances in other words that a car
load of wheat or cattle should be
brought from the far West to Alexan-
dria, at the same cost as one from Lees
burg. The lot of the Virginia farmers
is not particularly happy one as it is,
but if Mr.. Lubin's idea should prevail,
it would cause them to swoon with de-
SPAR.

7-year-old Elsie Mclaughlin, of Frankfort
near Philadelphia. On Sunday last the child
complained of pam in her head, directly at
the left ear Little was thought of it at the
time, but on Monday the pain was much more
severe and the ear seemed slightly lntammed.
Remedies for earache were applied in the
shape of baked onions and various pOultires
but instead of subsiding the pain increased
until the child was in awful agony.

The SILVER BILL.-It is said that
the members of the democratic caucus
committee who called on Secretary
Carlisle last week misinlerpreted his
words, which caused them to prepare
the proposed compromise. though the
Senator'S themselves insist that Mr..
Carisle's conversation led them to be-
lieve they would be perfectly justified
in declaring that the President would
approve the proposition. Secretary
Carlisle contends that he simply agreed
with the democratic caucus committee
to lay the compromise proposition be-
fore the President. Some of the Sena-
tors from the silver mining States, in
Guiding Mr.. Teller, their leader, were
in favor of stopping the dilatory tactics
in the Senate against appeal and allow
ing vote to be reached on the ques-
ton of unconditional repeal at the
earliest moment it could be reached,
but they found all their forces would
not agree to the surrender.

In the Senate yesterday after Mr.

Mr.. Teller, of Colorado, took thu
floor and proceeded with an argumen
against the bill which he had begun
some time ago.
Without finishing his speech, Mr.
Teller yielded the floor 20 Mr.. Stewart
of Nevada, saying that his throat was
not in good condition and that he felt
unable to proceed.
Mr.. Stewart took the floor at quar-
ter to three o'clock and addressed the
Senate in favor Of his proposed amend
ment for PAn-American monetary
conference.
