PRACTICAL PROTECTION.

Correspondence Athens Journal.
Why is it the American laborers
do not ask and vote for tariff on
foreign labor? They have been
taught that America is for Americans,
and they have certainly learned by
sad experience that the higher the pro-
tective wall is built around their en-
ployers and their products, the less
they receive for their labor; and they
surely know by this time with the
schooling they have had during the
last three years that they have no
protection against foreign labor,
while it can be imported in any
quantity from any country free OF
duty to take the place of American
labor at pauper prices. Why do we
not ask our representatives in Con-
gress to pass law requiring every
man, company, syndicate and mono
poly, that hires a man who is not a
citizen of the United States, to pay
1--WE will say 20 per cent, of the
amount of wages paid him, into the
National treasury. To illustrate, if
he paws foreigner one dollar per day
let him pay our government 20 cents
for the privilege of hiring the for
eigner. That would come pretty near
the eforeigner paying the tax" that
we have heard so much said about in
the past few years for, the syn dicate
that hired him would be pretty sure
to take the amount of tariff out of his
wages, just as they add the tariff to
our home manufactured products, and
force the poor consumer to pay the
same into their own pockets. We
have an almost empty National Trea-
ury, and the secretary forced to issue
interest-bearing bonds to save the
credit of this boasted republican COM
monwealth, and the American labor
er and producer will have them to pay
if he looses his home in the struggle.
Now the question is why do we
not protect the home laborer as well
as the home capitalist.

An Opinion Wanted on Spring
Opening.

For some months the Cincinnati
Enquirer has added to its various
sensational feat ures an Opinion De
partment. This department is manip-
ulated in Washington City, and is
peculiarly interesting in displaying
the versatility Of Sam Johnston,
Enquirer Opinion Editor in con-
troverting Sam Johnston, Demo
cratic Journalist.
Fault finding with President
Cleveland, denunciation of the
Democratic Congress, sneers at the
Country Editors who support the
President and Congress, have been
the burthen of the opinions OF the
Guerilla sheet.
Recently the Enquirer raised the
cry of Reform tor the city govern
ment. The Democratic party was
not considered an agency safe t.

START YOURSELF.

Fairfel County Democrat.
"Will the Sherman monument be
built? Will any of the Garnd Army
men, in this city move in the matter?
How badly do they want monument
erected? Will each Post in Ohio con-
tribute S12 or SIS toward this object?
Who will be the party to take the lead?
Which Post would like to be the origin
ator of this great movement? A good
leader is all that is needed"
The scheme is now we'll laid and
the trap fairly bated, Bro. Hite, but it
wont work.
General Sherman was great man,
a good commander, and patriotic cit
izen. His life and his acts are part OF
the history of his country and the mem.
ory of his services will be more endur.
ing than marble or granite.
While this is true, the asking Of the
citizens and e-xsoldiers of the state tc
contribute to the erection Of a mon
ument to decorate the streets of Ian
caster is an exhibition of unadulteratec
gall.

AN OLD FALSE PRETENSE.

New York World.
Two of the New England cotton
manufacturers, whose views of the
Wilson bill and the action of the Sen
ate were solicited by the World, de-
clared that the "wages must come
down" if the bill becomes a law.
They must have, they say, sufficient
protection" against English competi-
ton.
This is an old story. What are
the facts upon which the claim is
based?
The duties on manufactures of
cotton in the Wilson bill average 36
per cent.-the same, almost to a
fraction, as under the Republican
tariff commission law of 1888.
About that time Secretary Blaine,
in state paper on the consular re-
ports, said: Undoubtedly the in
eequalities in the wages of the English
and American operatives are more
than equalized by the greater efiiclen-
cy ofthe latter and their longer hours
of labor"
The labor cost in English cotton
was shown to be higher than In
American cottons.
The pretense that 36 per cent.
duty will not protect the New Eng
land manufactures against those OF
Old England is demonstrably false.
Before these hoary infants ''reduced
wages always their first resor1-let
them look after some of their high
salaried sinecures, and be content
with dividends somewhat smaller than
8 or 10 per cent;

RESULTOT McKINLEISM.
KentOn Democrat.

KentOn Democrat.
A few days ago reduction of
wages went into effect in the iron
works of Cooper, Hewitt d Go. at
Trenton.
In commenting upon the reasons
for it Mr.. Hewitt said it was due to
the prevailing business depression,
which caused heavy losses last year.
Tne business depression, he said
could be traced back to the McKin-
ley bill. The country could stand
almost anything but the Mckinley
bill. Ever since that bill was pas
sed wages have decreased"
Speaking of the probable effect
of the Wilson bill on business in
terests, he said ANYTHING that would
do away with the present uncer'
tainty would be good.
"BusiDess interests are waiting
for something definite so that mer
can know where they stand"
AS regards thn iron interests, he
said that not even free trade wOulC
hurt the Carnegie business, and thai
| if the free trade did not close on
the New Jersy company, Carnegie
would.
He regards the prompt passage o:
the Wilson bill as the most impor
tant thing for business now.

Funeral OF R. W. Keynes

The funeral of Robert w. Key
mes. which occurred OH the after
noon of last Sabbath, was among
the largest if not the very largest
that has occurred III our town, and
was a testimonial of the respect In
which kindness Of heart. gentility
of disposition, and honor and integ-
rity in business is held by our Cit
izens, that is louder than the roar OF
the crock beaten surf" and strong
er and deeper than the booming of
cannon.
The populace turned out en- masse
to do honor to his memory, while
the participation of the Odd Eel
lows and Knights of Pythias, the
deceased being an honored mem
ber of both orders, was the largest
that ever took place in the town,
not excepting the kt. Templer, and
Masonic attendance at the funeral
of Hon. O. Case, which occurred
some years since.
The funeral cerimonies were an

The religious exercises were con-
Quoted by Rev. DR.. Moore of the
Presbyterian, assisted by Rev. Mar
tin OF the U. B. Church.
Mr.. Keynes was we'll known to
all the community, having been ac,
tlvly engaged in the grain and mill
ing business in our town for more
than 80 years, and in which ne
amassed considerable fortune. He
was man Of public spirit and a
high sense of honor, and there are
few of the industries of this place
which he did not encourage and aid.
He was orner Of considerable
stock in the Motherwell Iron and
Steel Works, of this place, the end
of which proved great financial
disaster to him and other business
men Of our town and vicinity, and
in the settlement of which he shirk-
ed no obligation nor ever wavered
from the path of strict honesty.
The record Of his business life is
rich legacy to the surviving fam
lily and the community at large.

AS 1T GOES TO THE SENATE.

The tariff bill as agreed on by the
Democratic members OF the finance
committee of the senate, and as 1t
will 90 TO that body for action, was
given to the full committee and an
ABSTRACT of its more important
provisions given out.
The changes made are in both dl-
rections, but in most cases the SEN
ate has increased duties and has
slaughtered important advances by
the house in the direction of free
raw material. The income tax re-
mains in the bill. Sugar is made
dutiable at one cent a pound, up to
the refined grades, when fractional
advance is given. Iron ore and coal
are taken off the free list and duty
of forty cents ton is levied. There
is trifing increase in iron and
steel manufactures over the rates
fixed by the Wilson bill. For in
stance, Oh structural iron and steel
the duty is advanced from 80 to
35%, and Oh rails from 20 to 225 q
The advances ON other articles
are trihing and show disposition
to make minute changes. not amount
ing to much in the way of either
protection or revnue.
There is a slight increase in the
pottery ard glass schedules. The
whiskey tax is increased to 81 10.
The wool schedule remains un-
changed, and there are some rcduc-
tions on WOODEN manufacturers,
making them 81 less than the Will
son bill rates. The lumber aud cot
ton schedules are unchanged.
The time for the new tariff going
into operation is changed from the
lst of June to the 30th, which &C
cords with the commencement OF
the fiscal year.
With imperfect knowledge CT
the details and effect of the changes
made by the senate, We should say
there are no serious difficulties in
the way of the two houses reaching
an understanding bya a conference
committee.
There will be contention over the
sugar duty, which can be defended
from the revenue standpoint. A cen'
pound will bring in $50, 900, ,oo(
revenue, while the duties on Goa
and ore will also add to the treasury
receipts. Bnt the house willnot read
lily give up free ore and coal.
The finance committee as whole
will not consider the bill, or rather
the Republican members of it.
Probably week will be allowed
them for this purpose, and then th'
bill will be reported t. the senate
and the hattie commence in tha
body. The final shape to be given
the bill Will no doubt be settled II
conference committee. All Demo
Gratis will rejoice that the bill /
now out in the open. and an end OF
secret intriguing by interested par
ties reached.

THE CIGARETTE,

An Exchange in speaking of the
cigarette habit says it is far worse
than nuisance. 1t, in specializing
upon the peculiar facination OF the
practice, and the cause of its blightlng
effects on the mental and physical
organization of those who indulge it,
SAYS that western physician, having
carefully investigated the subject,
furnishes an ample if not startling
explanation:
He says that person who smokes
100 cigaretts a day, inhaling the
smoke, thereby takes l2O grains OF
opium, and if he smokes so he takes
60 grams, and so on in like proportion
down the scale. If he smokes but
one box, containing 10, the amount
of the deadly drug consumed is IL
Grains, and in addition to this narcot
ic he also gets the nicotine poison, 1t
is the opium that produces the pecul-
lar soothing effect which the cigarette
fiend SO enjoys. The physician in
question says there is no doubt OF
the presence of opium, and that
analysis has proved it. He says fur
ther that he has never heard of aci G.
arctic that is free from the drug. and
adds that beyond question the boy
who smokes cigaretts stunts his
growth, wrecks his nerves and weak
ems heart and kidneys long before he
reaches manhood.
Whether there be opium in all Gig
arettes in the proportion stated or not,
there is no doubt they are much more
injurious than either cigars or pipes,
and contain either opium or some 9th
er deleterious drug in the tobacco OF
wrapper, or possibly both, that makes
their use very hurtful. There is, we
believe, law in this state prohibit,
ing their sale to youth under a certain
age, and it should be rigidly enforced
The rising generation should be pre-
| vented as far as possible from smok
ing itself into imbecility and physica
wreck.

Stories That Seem to Support the Theory
of Reincaruation.
II have number of friends who have
shadowy recollection of previous ex-
istence upon the earth said a theoso-
phist, supporting the doctrine of rein
carnation.
"You doubtless have also had expert
ences with an indefnable vague remem-
brance of something, or somebody came
to you, which puzzled you and made you
say, I'm sure I've seen that before.
Yet you may know positively that as far
as this present existence is concerned it
was impossible for you to have received
even an idea Of the place or person. l
have often met people with whom I be-
came intimate at first sight. 1t seems,
as l have often told them, that / had
known them for years. 1t was only the
other evening that l met lady from
San Francisco whose face had been in
my mind for years. AS soon as we met
there seemed to be something that drew
us together. We were as old friends.
"The most remarkable instance ever
heard is that of the daughter of Isaac
Fulton. Twelve years ago no resided in
Effingham county, His. Wills there he
buried daughter named Maria, who
was taken away just as she was budding
into womanhood. About year later he
removed to Dakota, where no still re-
sides. About three yeals after his daugh-
ter's death ho was blessed with another
little girl, who was chyistened Nellie,
it being the favorite nano of his wife.
When the little onB became old enough
to talk, she Persisted in calling herself
Maria. She became quite angry when
told her name was Nellie. She said the
name belonged to her, as her parents
used to call her Maria. A matter Of
business took Mr., Fulton back to Effiug-
ham county, and for company ho took
Nellie along. The father was surprised
at tho intuitive knowledge the girl had
of the place. She not only recognized
the old home, but many people she had
never seen whom the first daughter had
been acquainted with. About a mile
from the homo was a schoolhouse where
Maria had gone to school. Little Nellie
had never. seon the place, yet sho gave
an accurate description of it TO her fa
ther and expressed strong desire to
visit it. Accordingly her father took
her out to tho schoolhouse. AS soon as
she was inside she marched straight up
to the desk her aister had occupied and
said, This is mine. In telling the
story Mr.. Fulton said that it seemed as
if tho dead had come back from the
grave, but her mother would not have
it SO. She says, if thatis true, she had
but one child, and God gave her two. +"

WASHINGTON, April Ain the senate
today report of the secretary of agri.

wheat. in response to the petition ol
Pettigrew, passed yesterday, was re-
ceived and referred to the committee on
agriculture.
A lively debate was precipitated by
the presentation OF memorial from the
Philadelphia board of trade, praying for
additional duty on sugar. Quay, who
presented the memorial, sent it to the
clerks desk to be read, but Harris, car
rying out the threat made yesterday
that ne would object to the interruption

memorial, wheFeupon Quay withdrew ii
and began to read it himself.
