A Manufacturer on the Tariff.


Everybody should read the speech of
Hon. Tom l.. johnson, of Ohio, given on
the fourth page of this issue. Mr.. John
son, in his speech, which was delivered in
the House of Representatives last week,
covered the whole tariff question, and dealt
with the subject in very vigorous manner.
We have given only that part that deals
with steel rails and structural steel. Mr..
johnson is a steel rail manufacture, and he
speaks from experience and absolute knowl-
edge as to the manner of manuiac-
ture, the cost of production, and the rela-
ton of the tariff to the steel rail industry.
He does not deal in theory, but in facts.
In the course of his remarks he paid
his respects to the steel rail trust, and
stated that the trust is paying the Spar
rows Point steel works, near Baltimore,
$1,000 day to close their works. Mr..
johnson presented a copy of the contract
between the trust and the receiver of the
Sparrows Point works, and il is published
in the Congressional Record as an addenda
to his speech. When these works closed,
and the employees were discharged, it was
supposed that it was the result of the gen
eral business stagnation, and the workmen
no doubt thought it was all chargeable To
Democratic intentions in tariff changes.
Mr.. Johnson proves that it was the work
of the steel rail trust, which could have no
existence without protective tariff, and
the discharged and unemployed workmen
will understand that protective tariff does
not protect them-it only enables manu-
lacturers to combine to limit production by
buying mills to close up and cast them out
whenever it is to their interest tn do 50.
Mr.. Johnson's speech should be care

Mr.. Sloan's Resolutions.

Mr.. Sloan, Republican member of the
Maryland House OF Delegates from Ale
gany county. introduced preambles and
resolutions in the House on Tuesday night,
against the placing of bituminous coal on
the free list. as provided in the Wilson
tariff bill, and requesting our Senators and
Representatives to use their efforts to de-
feat the attempt to remove the tax of
seventy-fve cents ton on importations,
as provided in the present law. In the
preamble it is asserted that
Whereas it is admitted by men of all polti-
cal opinions that if the duty shall be removed
and bituminous coal placed on the free list,
as proposed by said bill, it will have to be
mined and transported at less cost than il now
is in order to successfully compete at tide
water with foreign coal, and that the operators
Of the Maryland coal field ,cW either hare to
cease tcorking their mines or reduce tie cost
Of its production TO such da ertent to enable
them 10 compete that tcould bring disaster and
rant upon many thousands Of orr people:
If the part we have put in italic be true,
it is a statement that the coal operators do
not propose to relinquish any part of their
profits They must still have their share,
ecen # they hare to reduce 'eages and
bring disaster and rant upon many thou
sands Of people.
1t was admitted by Protectionist in
Congress few days ago, that manufac-
turers never paid fair wages, no matter what
protection they received, unless forced to
do so by trades unions; and if what Mr..
Sloan recites is fact, coal barons are like
the manufacturers they only pay in wages
what they are compelled to. When ask
ing for Protection, both plead for it in the
interest of labor; when they get it, labor is
forgotten.
The resolutions should be laid on the
table and Mr.. Sloan on top Of them.

Abolish the Fee system.


The fee system, so far as it relates to
sherifs, magistrates, states attorneys, and
other officers, will have to go. The evil Of
it has long been apparent and has attracted
the attention of thinking men, who have
clearly foreseen that fixed salaries for these
officials would be far better, not only for
them. but for the public. The Maryland
Prisoners Aid Society, G. S. Griffith,
President, have led the way in their report
ON this subject. Itsays-"The fee system
Is an evil which multiplis arrests and often
inficts unwarranted punishment. The
continual increase of the public expendi-
ture, under this system, is an evil of grow
ing magnitude. Let the Legislature now
in session give attention to this subject
There ought to be a new constitution or
the present one ought to be so amended as
TO permit of these and other changes.

Kill the Bill.

The bill introduced into the Senate, es-
tablishing the Office of State Fire Marshal,
and providing salary of $1,000 for the
marshal. $1,000 for clerk and $500 for
other expenses, ought not to be passed.
The duty of the marshal is simply to in
vestigate fires, where crooked work is sus-
pected. Such an office is entirely useless,
and looks like the object Of its creation was
to provide soft place for somebody.
States attorneys, police officers, detec-
tives and grand jzries do this work satisiac-
torily, when occasion demands, and Fire
Marshal is not needed. Kill the bill.

Neal on Religious Liberty.

COLUMBUS, o., January s.-The Hon. Law
renee T. Neal. of Chillicothe, the Democratic
candidate for governor last fall, at the Jack.
son Club banquet here tonight, responding TO
the toast, Prescription of Religious Liberty
the Destruction of the Republic" said:
A secret political organization Of any kind
is hostile to the spirit of our free institutions;
but when such an organization, in a republic
like ours, obligates its members by oath to
violate the constitutional provision which
guarantees religious freedom to every citizen,
and secures immunity TO Christian and inf
del alike in his belief or unbelief, 1t reverses
the progress of civilization, wages war upon
civil as well as religious liberty, and, if sue
cessful in its aims and purposes, will strike
the deathblow not only to the fundamental
principles of American liberty, but to Chris
tianity itself.
Cowardice alone will prevent the ignorance,
bigotry and hate, upon which such an organ
ization must depend for its support. from re-
storing the prosecutions and crimes of the
darkest periods of the dark ages OF the world.
Such an organization or order can not legiti-
mately hold place among the political par
ties of our country, either as an independent
organization, or as an auxiliary TO some other
party, no matter how high sounding and pa
iriotic its name may be. 1t may live for a
time upon the credulity ana preJuulces OF
those who may be induced by the wiles and
articles Of designing, INSCRIPTIONS and cor.
rupt demagogues and leaders, to adopt Its
dogmas, but the intelligence and patriotism
of the people, when aroused, will reject and
desiroyi it.
The union between American liberty and
religious freedom must be indssoluble. 1t
niust stand or fall. II we are to retain the
one, we must preserve inviolate the other.
Our highest duty is TO resist with nnfalter
ing courage every attempt, insidlous or open,
10 proscribe the political and other rights of
any Of our citizens because Of their religion,
as a dangerous assault upon constitutional
liberty.
I speak not only AS a Democrat, but as a
Protestant, and say that We shall prove our
selves dasiards in the Democratic faith il we
fail to discharge snch Il duty.

The Gettysburg Pa Fire
rsnm The compiler Of Tuesday.

AT $50 on Friday morning the stable oil
the Eagle Hotel, on Washington street. was
discovered to be on fire. An old frame
building. it buried with terrible rapidlty, q
high wind prevailing at the time carrying
clouds of sparks to the east and southeast ana
creating wide spread CONSERVATION. Our
firemen responded and were soon hard at
work on what seemed and which proved an
arduous task. The steamer was attached TO
the plug at the City Hotel, and several streams
were soon at work. The stable, with several
others adjoining, was quickly consumed %heu
fire was discovered under the cornice OF the
west wing of the hotel, with such headway IN
the roof as to battle the iremen. The pro
lonred exertion ON the part of the members
of the company produced exhaustion IN some
cases, when citizens and college students
promptly aided in subduing the flames and
| protecting other property.
The situation rapidly grew so critical that
the authorities through Burgess Benuer, tel

Seed Oats" Notes.

From Gettysburg pa star and sertinel.
An attorney was here last week from Ohio
to see after the collection of certain Seed
Oats notes which some of our conlidine
farmers were recently trapped by travelling
sharpers into signing, and which now turn
out to be different things from what they sup
posed they were signing. The notes are now
claimed to be in the hands of what are called
innocent holders in contrast with the
guilty procurers of them; and the unfortunate
signers must. therefore, look out for lega
raid on their pocket-books. How many more
lessons must our people learn before they
will learn to distrust and avoid and refuse
dealings with slick rascas who are constantly
proving around for victims?
