Mr uciuu, uii'j uiu una jvai ,H 'lumped, and the exact Information that 'f48, was heretofore attainable as te the amount of goods purchased from partic ular dealers, and the prices paid Is new lacking. Why this radical departures is made this year, wa would llke the dliectorsef the peer te explain. There is no institu tion in the county in the mnnagementef which the public nre Interested te a greater degree than that which dis jenses the charities of the county. It has net been se long since the I.s'Ti:Li.inKXCEit exposed the neglect at the lower hospi tal in the care exercised ever patlentF, and the shocking revelations were such as caused the inauguration of better meth ods and mere humane ticatmeut et some of the unfortunates who were at the time charges upon the county. The beard of peer directors should net fear the most exacting scrutiny of their accounts. They should expect and invite it. This county is wealthy enough te permit its taxpayers te read tl 0 full list of expenditures for the county's peer. "Why was it net given thia year, as it ha3 been done formerly.? Was there anything te conceal ? About Ihlld J-alnr. The Lancaster Inquirer comments upon a recent utterance et this journal upon the question of child labor. The law forbids the employment of children under the age of thirteen and we vere disposed te believe that there was no great infraction of it in this city. We also stated the evident fact that te many a peer and struggling family child labor was a been, though it was hardly thought necessary te repeat what we have often eald of the great harm that it does te the whole community. On this peiU wecan cordially echo the opinion of our esteemed contemporary. The sj stem of cblld labor is ai cleaily against public pUcy cs it is against the law. " It is bringing up a generation of men and women who ere dwarfed in body and xnlnd, unfit te exercise and fu'fili the higher and mere responsible duties of citizenship, and incapable of performing properly the services te the government which may be required of them at the age of maturity." But suppose a peer man with eight or ten children and a dollar a day, and even that small income dependent upon his own geed health and the prosperity of bis employer; would our contemporary severely condemn that man for using the labor et his children te keep the wolf from the dcer V We admit the evil M we admit, the infraction of the law. There is a tenderness of years which is very necessarily protected by the law from greed or need of the parent ; and the Dgtotthliteenisajudieieuslimlt. There are stout children under that age doubt. lMtolrhem UIkw weMld be neninjury, and snch as these may be employed here. It is net te be supposed that the Iaw Is wholly observed ; no "law ever is. The Inquirer says that there are flltytxcep. tfens in Lancaster. We de net think even lhat number would show a serious abuse et child labor here. Some of It deubllefs'ls due te lgnorance of the law ; some Of it te the extreme need of par ents ; and seme of It te the extra stature and slrength'bf ine'dliild.'- Be that we de net think Ihftt' we iced te change our opinion that Lancaster's, skirtsare cbra piratlvely free frem.le'cvi of child 'lH0r., ' ' .'3 ti ; e - lie .Carerul. , -Tlin Vrrivlflpftrtv Jmi'rnfil and -the Ue3- teri Jexirnty .have bee'ri having a tilt ever the effect et the Mills tariff bill upon tlie farmers' intercst,whlch the latter thought were injured by it. The former, however, Bays that the only agricultural products affected of any account by the bill nre flax, hemp, leaf tobacco, rice, sugar and wool, of which the flax and wool pro ducers would probably be helped rather than hurt in the long run. Tobacco, rice and sugar It concedes may be injured, but thinks that their product is of tee llttle value te be weighed against the Interests calllug for the re duction of the tax. It says tint the tobacco product in 18S0 was but thirty nine million?, sugar nine mllllem and rice four millions. Certainly If there are great intmsls In the country calling for the crippling of tliuse industries, that might be a justifica tion for It. Hut we de net think there Is any such demand. We de net want te step the production of sugar or rice, and it Mills' bill threatens this these provi previ sions of It should net be passed. Neither de we want te step the produc tion of leaf tobacco for c'gar wrappers -, as It will be stepped under Mills' and llandairs bills. There Is no Justification of it all ; no demand for it fiem anyone ; and there has never been a mere causelef s and insane assault made upon any Industry. It is simply due te assume lgnorance. Cigar wrapper tobacco Is largely grown In New England, New Yerk, Pennsylvania, Ohie, Illinois and Wisconsin. It has as its competitor tobacco from Sumatra, because the latter Is exceedingly light, fine veined, tough and of fashionable color for cigar wrap pers. The present duty ou the lightest leaves is 75 cents a pound ; these weigh ever 100 te the pound. ,On leaves weigh ing under 100 the duty is its cents per pound. The Mills bill reduces the duty teM cents en both clastes, perhaps te save t rouble te the custom heuse in clas sifying the imports, which might just as easily have been dene by making the duty Boventy.flve cents en all cigar wrap- p;r tobacco. Ne one would have been Injured, and a great industry would have been protected. The duty of thlrty.flve cents will put a quietus en the home grown wrappsrs. 1 1 congressmen under, steed this and that this Sumatra tobacco will drive the home tobacco out of the market because it is se light that a pound of it will cover a great many mero cigars than the home grown, they certainly will net be willing te inflict this great in jury.

Consequently they knew nothing about them. And tborefero they ate looking about lliciu ter seme work that shall inform and Instruct thorn.
