All the coast country, south of
this city, in the vicinity Of Rock
port and Corpus Christi, is being
sought out by northern grape and
wine men with a view to introduce
ing these industries on a splendid
scale, should the Investigations
undertaken result in a recommen-
datiOn of these coast lands for such
purpose. OF this there is little
doubt and the investigation cannot
be too thorough. If the conditions
are not favorable, and this will be
the first time that they have been
so pronounced, il they are now, it
is better to understand that before
vestment than afterward. The
LIGHT does not fear results of the
closest scrutiny, for the adaptation
OF that coast country to wine Gull
ture has been again and again
demonstrated until the matter is
no longer an experiment.

A Parrots Memory.

Parrots nre in many respects, no
doubt, wonderful birds, aud to tho
many stories concerning them has to
be added one from Mayfair. Thopar
ticulnr bird in question was in tho
habit of calling the footman who fed
it "Jacl1o," and the correspondent of
tho Manchester Evening News, who
tells tho story, snys that by and by the
footmnn left the establishment. Years
passed, and he was forgotten. Ono
afternoon, however, the parrot sud-
denly startled the inmates Of the
house by muttering "Jacko" rapidly
and excitedly, us it were, in his
dreams. Some one had the curiosity
to run to tho window, and was just in
time to SEQ n carriage disappearing in
tho distance, on whose box sat Jnclso
the footman, in all tho glory of
powdered hair. The bird, who had
never seen him in tho gniso before,
must, it is alleged, have recognized
him ut once. London Exchange.

Our 6 RuInedO Industries.

Notwithstanding the high price OF
leather, the shoe manufacturers of the
country are keeping up with the in.
dustrial procession. During the last
three weeks 23S,099 boxes of shoes
have been sent out from the New Eng.
land factories, against GOT, 9S4 in the
corresponding period of last year.
Since the LIST of January there has
been m increased export demand fo1
shoes rs well as for leather. At the
Same time tho cotton spinners and
wooden weayers of New England have
moro to do than for long time, and
advances in wages are the order of the
day. These are tho industries, above
all others, upon which the protection.
lists predicted that the new tariff would
have "ruinous" effect. But their
prophecies of evil have already been
disgraced and their howls of calamity
silenced by the hum of the cotton and
wooden mills. AS for the iron and
steel manufactures, also doomed to
ruin" by the new tariff, the blaze OF
the furnace fires and tho tremendous
noise of the mills have quite bewild,
cred them. This is painfully betrayed
in their absurd efforts to disparage
tho industrial movement and to mis-
interpret its causes. Their present u.s.
sertions and denials are as worthless
MS were their past predictions. Phil.

RANK SOCIALISM
should BE Said of Protection, But
Not OF the Income Tax.

Tho New York Sun must be credited
with having led tho fight against tho
income tax, which it denounced in
variety of pet phrases of which its
fayorite and strongest was sthe social
istio tax As the recognized de-
fender Of monopoly and legislation in
the interest of tho privileged few, it
Yves to be expected that the Sun would
oppose o measure looking to the more
equal distribution of our National
burden of taxes. And as the paper
has made itself the organ of-what it
calls property rights" it naturally
denounced as SOCIALISM, n tax law
which was aimed ct the men who by
lew-made, monopolies have got hold
OF great..deal Of property which does
not belong to them.
The surprising feature of the SUMS
attack on the income tax rs sooialistio
wis its contradiction of the principles
which it has always advocated. For
many years the, Sun has been stead
lastly defending the protective tariff,
with its crushing burdens on tho
farmer and workingman, and its utter
disregard of property rights. With
diabolical cunning it has pretended 20
be an organ of Jeffersonian Democ-
raoy in order that it might secretly
stab, with sneers and iibes, every prin-
ciple of individual rights which Jef1er-
son upheld. For what is the whole
protective system, but n direct denial
OF those rights to liberty and property
which Jefferson declared to be tho
foundation of every just system ofsocie-
tyr When Congress passes laws say
ing to the go, 600, 600 consumers of the
United States: "You must not buy
your goods whero you can get them
cheapest, you must buy them in
markets limited by protective tariff
laws, it invades the liberty CT every
free man. When Congress by law
takes from one set of men portion
of their property to give it to few
favored monopolists it denies tho
right of each mau to that property
which lie has produced, This is tho
true doctride of ''anti socialism,"
which the Sun presents in the inter-
est of tariff and unprotected monop-
oily.
There is every indication that in
this country the next great struggle
will be between the forces of privi-
lege, trade restrictions, and class
legislation, and those of freedom for
each man to produce and exchange
goods wherever he thinks best. The
various forms of socialism OF pater.-
nalism--protection monopoly, and I'M
just taxation---will fight hard to re-
tain their privilege Of levying tribuke,
on the people, but in the end justice
and freedom will prevail. And worse
than the plunderers themselves, in the
eyes of posterity, will then appear
such papers rs the Sun, which have
sinned against knowledge in pander-
ing to the monopulists.

BY some strange oversight the Mo.

that tunnels can be had for practical

to dig away the earth and insert the

OF the United States, the cost OF un-
derground excavations is much greater
here than in foreign countries.

"Frco Traders" VS.. ono Traders. y

Protectionist are fond of using tho
words "free trader" in term of re.
proach. Now, there is nothing espe-
cially bad to American ears in the
word "free." ''Free Trade and Sail
ors' Rights" flew ut the masthead of
the Shannon as the gallant Captain
Lawrence went in to fight heavier
British ship. And almost everything
which we boast of as distinctly Ameri-
can exists because of freedom.
But since the advocates of high
tariff for the benefit of monopolies
have seen fit to make the fight against
''free trade" let us look moment at
the reverse of these words. Are the
protectionists willing to admit that
they want trade prohibited? Senator
Frye, Of Maine, one of tho lending
lingo Republicans, said in speech
delivered in Boston before the Home
Market Club: ave import each year
over $7OO, 100000 worth of goods,
every dollars worth of which should
be produced in this country" Is not
that the logical meaning of policy
which is directly opposed to free, OF
less restricted trade?
There are only two sides to the is.
sue. The party which opposes remov.
ing the restrictions which high tariffs
put on trade must be OPP osed to trade.
10 be consistent they must oppose MI
trade. Why should they not be
called by their right name-"Nc

Protoctionists Should Dict on FISH.

The high tariffites do we'll to fight
against free trade in fish. An en-
inent American scientist, Professor
Mark Twain, of Hartford, Conn, has
shown that fish diet is highly bene-
fetal to the brain, and he strongly nd-
vises that each protectionist should
eat n whale; good, largesized whale,
or two medium-sized whales.
But while this might help tho pro-
tectionists, it would be very bad
thing for the rest of the country.
Suppose that the pauper fish of Nova
Scotia or British Columbia were al-
lowed to compete with the herring of
Ohio, the Goldfish of Colorado, or the
mackerel of Missouri! What would
DO the result? Why, the American
farmers and workingmen would be
able to crafty their appetite for tho
pernicious Goldfish ball. tho deadly
lobster salad, or the loud perfumed
mackerel at far less expense than at
present. Then their brains would
begin to work, and what would be-
como of our great protective system,
the envy of all other Nations (espe-
cially the Chinese), if once the farmers
and workingmen commence to thing?
Imagination recoils affrighted from
the horrible prospect. BY all means
let us keep the tariff destroying fish
out of the country.

FARMERS AND FRBIGHTS.
WHY THE PUBLIC PAYS HIGH
TRANSPORTATION RATES.

High FreIghts Caused by Heavy
Duties on Iron, Steel, Lumber and
Nearly Everything fSiso Which
Goes Into tho Manufacture Of Lo-
comotives and Cars.
The fsrmer who complains of the
freight rates he has to pay ON his
food products and the goods he gets
back in exchange for them, is begin
ming to find out that one of the chief
causes of high freights is the great adj
dition to the cost of building and
maintaining railroada, resulting from
the protective tariff. The steel rail
trust, created and sustained by the
high duty on all foreign rails, has cost
the railroads hundreds .of millions Of
dollars during the past thirty-fve
years. To earn dividends on oil this
additional capital, the railroads were
forced to charge higher freight and
passenger rates. Then the cost of
rolling stock was greatly increased by
the high duties on the iron, steel,
lumber, glass and nearly everything
else which went into locomotives and
cars. And in the long run oil this
artificially increased cost was paid out
OF the charges OF the roads. Had
prices been allowed to reach their
natural level the cost of constructing
and equipping our railroads would have
been very much less than it was more
roads would have been built, and the
result would have been greater COM
petition and lower charges.
Protectionists try to meet these
facts by saying that we export loco
motives and cars, and that, therefore,
we can make them rs cheaply as in
any other part of the world. 1t is
true that we export some of these
things, but, as rule, the prices for the
surplus exported are much lower than
is Charged to the homo purchaser.
Besides, it is only recently that we
have been exporting rolling stock,
and We ship practically no rails.
AS to the question of the tariff keep
ing up prices, it is only necessary to
notice the vigor with which the steel
and iron workers fought reduction
in the tariff to prove that protection
makes their products dearer. If the
duty on steel rails was abolished, as
proposed in the last Congress by Tom
L. johnson, one of the largest steel
rail manufacturers in tho country,
the rail trust would collapse and the
price OF rails would drop fully thirty
per cent. Hundreds of railroads
would improve their carrying capacity
by equipments OF now and heavier
rails, and freight rates would steadily
decline.

An Ancient Costume Abolished.

mover and secondcr of tho address to

when ut first, indeed, NIL members,

floor of tho House in court attire,
says the Westminster Gazette. Lord
North, who was X. G., wns usually,
when Primo Minister. referred to in
debate as the noble lord of tho blue
ribbon. On the opening day of the
last session Mr.. Fenwick, NJ. p, who
seconded tho address, departed from
the practice and appeared in ordinary
morning costume. Tho hearty and
prolonged cheer that greeted him rs
he rose proved that the House was in
sympathy with him in this abrogation
of mn antiquatod and somewhat un-
necessary practice.
