intention is to reduce the wages
of labor. 1t is a direct attack
against labor, and labor has lifted
up it's voice in loud, energetic and
determined cutlery against the bill.
In the West, in the Northwest
and in the Southwest are the peo-
pie equally as affected as in the
Eastern and Central States. Let
those who have friends or who
know others that have friends liv-
ing in all the Western sections
turn a broad-side of agitation in
that direction.
Larger imports Of foreign man.
ufactures mean a smaller output
of domestic goods. This smaller
output means smaller wages, a
smaller number of workers and a
smaller demand for the farm pro-
ducts of the Western section. The
effect of Free-Trade will spread
like an insidious disease from one
to another, from one State to an
other. Let one, let all join hands
and appeal to every Senator in
Congress to have a regard for the
prosperity of his country and for
the welfare of its people. Not on
ly one appeal, but a constant APP
peal now on, week by week, day
by day. Work together while
there is yet a chance to save your
homes from ruin, yonr families
from starvation, and to save your
wages from sinking to the low
level that exists in Europe, i'll In
dia, in China or in Japan.-Amer-

There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness il caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition. hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out Of ten ale caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in

The Honest Elections and
Good Government.

The organization of the Ballot
Reform League was completed
last night by the election Of Mr..
James Legendre as president; w.
S. Patterson, vice president; VIM.
b. Spencer, Secretary, and j. G..
Duncan, treasurer. All of the
officers of the league are young
and able men who enjoy in an
eminent degree the respect and
esteem of the community, and
they will address. themselves to
the work before them with energy
and enthusiasm. The need of bal
lot reform of honest elections and
good government is SO plain to
every citizen who has any regard
for the good name Of the city that
the league is bound to be a sue
cess, and to cause its influence to
be felt throughout the State, as
branch leagues will be organized
in the parishes.
i The ward bosses here who pro-
fit by dishonest elections do not
of course favor the league, and an
effort is being made to impress
vot4rs with the idea that the clas-
ses are to be arayed against the
masses, and that the interests of
the workingmen will suffer. This
is the usual cry of the political
heelers who now control the city
government but the people, as
the real work of the league is tax
en- in hand, will understand and
indorse the purpose it seeks'to ac-
complish. AT the meeting last
night Mr.. Denegre made a speech
on the subject and read the de-
''claration of the Knights of Labor
in favor of ballot reform. The
truth is the league desires the
support of every citizen who be-

THE DEFICIT.

The governments receipts con-
tinue below the average, the total
for February being only 800, $685.
299, a decrease of 81, 700, 600, or IS
per cent, as compared with the
corresponding month of 1893.
This was mainly due to the fall
ing of in customs receipts, the in
ternal revenue being nearly up to
the average.
For the eight months ending
with January the receipts were
$19S, 274,5S7, or 80 per cent less
than the previous year. A CON-
parison of the percentage indi-
Gates that the situation has grown
worse instead of better. g.
To meet this decrease in reven-
ne there was a slight redu ction in
expenditures, mainly in interest,
and amounting to SO, 100000.
The total was S247, ALL 1852, show
ing adeficit of $40, 1877 ,165 for the
eight months, and indicating one
of s73,9O5,S9s for the year.
Is stronger argument needed
in favor of changes in the Wilson
bill, which Secretary Carlisle de-
clares will not provide sufficient
revenue for the support of the 60
vernment, but will continue and
increase the deficit already exist
ing.-Times-Democrat.

THE TARIFF SITUATION.

1t is difficult, at this writing, tO|
determine with any degree of ac-
curacy the possible fate of the
Wilson Tariff bill in the Senate.
Much depends upon the shape in
which the bill is brought before
that body, whether the advocates
of Free-Trade find themselves
compelled to concede to the gen.
eral demand for Protection to the
large Industries of the country
which produce "raw MATERIAL" So
called by the more radical Free
Traders. Should such concessions
be made, it will be a practical vic
tory, to a certain extent, for the
cause of Protection.
The idea of Protection as a To-
cal, not a national, issue is being
promulgated by the Free-Traders
now at Washington. They find
themselves compelled to listen to
local demands, or else lose certain
Of their party votes, and to this
extent they are willing to grant
Protection and to vote for it. 1t
is a species of bubble that might
be expected. Men who will do
such a thing are narrow minded.
Their views are narrow and una
BILE to grasp any idea of the ex-
tent of the country, of the length
and breadth of the land. If Pro-
tention be good for a single indus
try in a single Free-Trade State,
it is equally good for other indus
tries il other States.
From the rank and file of the
party that has deliberately set to
work to violate the Tariff plank of
the Chicago platform but little
can be expected, Still there are
some Senators of liberal views
who have witnessed enough of the
effects of the Soup House Admin
istration and its policy of prostra-
ton, and from whom a wiser and
more mature judgment should re-
asonably be expected. Senators,
who live in States that have been
built up by Protection to agricul-
ture or manufactures, should pom
der long and we'll before commit
ting themselves to a furtherance
and continuance of the policy of
prostration. That some Senators
will do this we sincerely trust.
There should be a pause before
rushing the country on to further
ruin and wreakage. Mischief
enough has been done during the
last twelve months. 1t is time to
build up again.
There is, from now on, an i'm
perative work laid upon every
American who loves his country.
Strong, vigorous and concerted
action is necessary. By petition,
by request, by demand, every
member of the United States Sc
nate, whether Free-Traders or
Protectionist, should be called up-
on to do his duty to the people
and to the country by voting
against the Wilson Tariff Bill. 1t
Is a measure that bodies i'll for
everybody. What Injuries one in

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. 24.-Tho
state board Of arbitration held three
hours session hero on the strike situa-
tion. Representatives OF all tho labor
unions were present William W. Crepo,
ono OF the oity's loading manufacturers
and president Of the Wamsutta corpora
ton, was present armed with statistics
He said he did not como to represent tho
manufacturers but as a private citizen.
He contosteS the arguments Of the labor
men hotly on the ground that the situa-
tion was duo TO the condition OF the cloth
market and on the same basis ondeavored
to prove that wage reduction was justified
Several hot exchanges took place be-
tween him and Secretary Ross Mr. Ross
said 1t was matter OF experience that
one reduction In wages usually followed
another. In 1884 wages were reduced 1877
per cent, in 1885 10 per cent more, or a
total reduction Of 23& per cent in two
years Between these years, he said a ro-
duction in tho spinning of fine numbers
was made amounting TO 80 per cent Out
Of all these reductions only l2k per cent
has been restored
Mr.. Crepo was then asked II no was
willing to submit the matter 10 arbitra-
tion and replied that he was not willing
to take the responsibility on his shoulders.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 24--No fewer
than 20, 000 persons are idle III this town
because Of tho great strike IN the textile
works. II promises to be bitter strug-
glo Zach side aftlrms that 1t will not
yield. Still tho operatives have suffered
SO long from the business depression that
they arc not in a position TO make long
fight.
Notices were posted in the mills which
establish beyond question that the war
between labor and capital here Is to bo
long and bitter one Today every min
operated by the men who arc members Of
the Manufacturers association is shut
down indefinitely.
These mills include every establishment
engaged in tho manufacture of print cloth,
and the shutdown throws 22, 64b men and
women out Of employment. There are at
present about ., 500 who have voluntarily
quit work, which swells tho total to about
20, geo idle operatives.
Lockout Agreed To.
The decision to close was reached by
tho manufacturers at their secret meeting
and is tho result of an agreement TO close
the mills at any time that three-fourths

The sentiment Of the mombors was

The vote was 8S TO 10 against continu-

should act upon the question at tho next

win be attended by any excitement.
The streets Will DO crowded with idle

the appearance of people on holiday than
Of people out Of work. There Is general
hope among manufacturers and the oper-
atives that tho shutdown Will by the at

and SO render the reduction in wages un-
necessary when the mills finally start up
