A contemporary, whose distinction
Is the number of things 1t don't know,
notes the revival in the manufacture Of
pottery in this country. at East Liver
pool, in Ohio. The pottcries have been
idle since the passage OF the German
tariff until this week, it says, when
thrce-fourths OF them started up on
full time, and the rest are running
part of the time. Anxious TO forestall
any credit that might be claimed by
the democrats that this revival Is due
TO democratic legislation, IL informs
its readers that it is not. but that that
legislation gave it Its black eye. The
pottery men. il says. give as the true
reason that, lin order 10 renew opera
tions at all, and prevent their factories
from remaining indefinitely idle, they
were compelled to cut prices TO the
level OF those OF those of imported
goods under the new reduced tariff. :"
This shows, says our contemporary,
how friendly the democratic revenue
rcformers are to the American work
ingman.
We ere Of one opinion with our con-
temporary in its last statement. The
American worlsingmen, who vastly ex-
coed in numbers the manufacturers of
pottery, will certainly not regret the
reduction of the cost of their pottery.
But the really interesting part OF this
confused tumble of statement and de-
duction, is the reason assigned by the
pottery men for resuming. They have
been compelled to reduce the price of
their wares to q point where they
could compete with the foreign inn
ported ware, increased in cost by the
duty imposed. The average nd valorem
tariff on their products under McKin-
leyism was 60 per cent, which was re-
duced by the present act to IS per
cent, making a reduction of little
over Al per cent. Under the present
law the cost OF every 500 worth of
pottery imported is increased S3j by
the tax, making its cost Si35. The pot
terry men, if our contemporary is not
giving US another piece of misinforma-
ton, admit that. for every si0) worth
of their ware, they add this 235 Of pro-
lection so as to bring their price up to
the level Of that of their competitors;
in other words, the pottery manu-
facturcrs thus admit that they are
taking. as they have taken. to them
selves the entire benefit of the protec-
ton afforded.
Apropos of this, and illustrating the
''paraly zing effect" Of the latest tariff
act, we have the case of Trenton, n.
j.. pottery which, on January TO- 1891,
three months after the passage of the
Mckinley act, proposed to its employees
a reduction OF 33h per cent of their
wages. The men went on a strike,
which lasted until April 30 that year,
when reduction of 22 per cent. was
accepted, but was followed on May IA
by further reduction of per cent.
On June l6 Of this year, the same firm,
under this "black-eye" tariff. increased
the wages Of its employees from 10 to 20
per cent. The effect. then, of the re-
duction in the tariff is only to reduce
the profit OF the employers and in
crease wages, while the effect OF tho
Mckinley act was to increase the
profits and decrease wages We agree
that the comparison does show "how
friendly the democratic tariff reform
ers are to the American workingmen.

Jack set himself at undoing his bonds
IL was slow and painful process. and
the bonds had habit of slipping again
into hard knots when he caught a
glimpse of Cissie, and Jack had almost
made up his mind to emigrate to some
outlandish country, for he feared he
would never be his own man again
unless a very broad and extensive
ocean rolled between them No matter
how stern his resolutions were, they
faded away to nothingness when he
met Cissie in new, pretty and stylish
dress, for every costume she adopted
seemed To be even more fetching than
the last. Clothes have so much to do
with the appearance of pretty girl.
The trouble with Jack was that he had
too much respect for women IN general.
and they all knew that, and conse-
quently dcspised him, Cissie being the
lea der in hcaping contumely on poor
Hinkston, who, after all. was a very
nice sort of fellow, who did not realize
that girls as rule are somewhat silly
and more apt to take up with shall

with a fellow Of genuine worth like
Jack Hinkston.
Jack had heard that Cissie had taken
to the bicycle. but he had never seen
the young lady on machine. For the
past week or two Jack had avoided
.Cissie, and his resolutions Of abandon
me mt had SO strengthened themselves
that he felt he would be free man il
he could merely keep away from her:
but on the other hand he realized that
the next time he saw her she would
have on a new dress and would look
more like an angel than ever, and he
tremblcd for the result.
In the matter OF the new dress Jack
was perfectly right. and he saw the
girl under circumstances that nearly
resulted in his downfall, but not the

il failed to yield revenue enough to

expenditure inaugurated by the Fifty

seventy million dollars in the last fis-

and other reasons many republicans
wish to eliminate the tariff. Besides,
however willing others may be to make
the tariff the dominant issue. the free
silver men are to be reckoned with.
They insist that there shall be Q free
silver platform and free silver cam

party, but have q candidate of their
own. This indifference is in its nature
irreconcilab in any other way than
the conversion of ones party to the
views Of the other. Mr.. O'Connell's
suggestion that man be nominated
pledged not to veto silver bill will not
satisfy either faction.
No one knows where Gov. Mckinley
stands on the currency. II they knew
his present position, they would not
know where he would be next year. He
has been on all sides of the question.
He would not be satisfactory either to
silverites or sound money men with.

him SO far. The chairman of the re-
publican national committee, Mr. Car

sire an early convention, to be held in
May, SO as to allow five months debate

THE TARIFF AS AN ISSUE.
An Experiment That Would Bring Disastes
on the Country.

An Experiment That Would Bring Disaster
ON the Country.
As the Times has heretofore indi-
Gated. the rcopcning Of the tariff agita-
ton would be o most dangerous ex-
pertinent at this time, or even next
year. The country has gone through a
severe strain, the result of the McKin-
ley law folly, and during the months
which have elapsed since the repeal OF
that measure returning prosperity has
encountered good many difficulties.
But the work has been finally accom-
plished.
To reopen the question now or in the
near future would instantly spread
alarm throughout the country, drive
capital back into concealment, de-
throne confidence in the safety OF in
vcstments and minimize industrial
operations To invoke such a condi-
ton upon the people Of this country
would be crime equal to high treason.
1t would plunge thousands OF indus
trious people into idleness. despair and
ruin.
But, viewing the matter from the
standpoint of practical politics, the
democrats would not suffer from such a
contest ItwouId be those who aim to
restore the excessive taxation, the
blighting economic system, that
would be smitten hip and thigh. The
democrats don't invite contest on such
conditions. but If it comes they will
meet the foes of the people with such
force and vigor that the folly win
