Lucky Tariff Beneficiaries.
How the McKinley tariff is alveady
operating to increase the wealth of the
lucky and favored few is already
showing itself. Through its agency
$1,700,000 was made on the very
first day of its operation by a syndicate
of New York speculators in the arti-
cle of tobacco. The duty under che
old tariff on Sumatra tobacco was $90
a bale. The new tariff raises it to
1 $340, an increase of nearly 400 per
cent. The New York syndicate bhav-
ing received the “wink” as to the time
when the new tariff would go into
operation, purchased 6,800 bales of
Sumatra tobacco in Rotterdam, and had
it shipped from that city by a special
steamer with directions to have it
make the port of New York before the
McKinley extortion went into force,
the captain of the steamer being stimu-
lated to do his best in making aspeedy
trip by the promise of a handsome
reward for reaching port before the
6th of October, the date of the new tar-
ift going ‘into operation. His cargo
arrived in New York harbor on San-
which was entered with a duty of $90,
the next day increased $250 per bale
in price, the difference between the old
tariff rate and the new, amounting in
the aggregate 10 $1,700,000. The gov-
ernment did not make a cent out of
this operation ; there was no increase
in the value of the tobacco, but the in-
ing to nearly $2,000,000, is just that
much robbed from consumers. This is
one of the beautiful effects of having
“the tariff revised by its friends.”
RuTaN’s testimony that the Republi- |
can candidate for Governor was the |
paid agent of the Standard Oil Company
in his treatment of the Billingsley pipe-
line bill, remains uncontradicted. There
is business in the exactness with which
he puts DELAMATER’S price at $65,000.
—It isn’t at all singular that the Re-
“tips” as to the time the new bill
would go into force. In all former
tariff changes a reasonable interval was
given before the change took place, so
that there might be full and ample
knowledge of the time. This iniqui-
publican candidate for Governor can’t |
see anything serious in his violation of
the constitution. “The constitution be
d——d,” may be considered a favorite
expression among the politicians of the
Quay order who have systematitally ig-
nored that document for the benefit of
the corporations.
—The votes of PLumB, of Kansas,
PApDocK, of Nebraska, and PrrrI-
GREW of South Dakota, Republican
Senatozs, against the new tariff bill, was
significant a3 indicating the opposition
of the people of those States to increased
tariff extortion. That 1s why those
three votes hurt the feelings of the mon-
opoly managers more than all the op-
position of the Democrats. +
—Col. Tom BAYNE must have'in-
dulged in a quiet chuckle all to himself
after his defence of MAT QUAY in a
speech at Pittsburg some days ago, in
which he placed him on the same pedes-
tal with “LINCOLN, GRANT, BLAINE,
GARFIELD and CONKLING, as the vic-
tim of the spleen, the calumny and
meanness of the Democracy.” Itis
enough to make even MAT himself
laugh.
—That little tin-god of protected
monopoly, JouN JARRETT, who has
been given a consul’s position in Eng-
land in return for services rendered the
tariff beneficiaries, has temporarily
abandoned his official duties and return-
ed to Pennsylvania to help elect DELA-
MATER. He will draw his official pay
and at the same time be liberally con-
pensated for his campaign service. The
apostle of taxed dinner-pails never
works for nothing.
—The miserable politicians who are
falsely charging Governor PATTISON
with being an enemy of the soldiers be-
cause he vetoed a bill that would con-
sign indigent velerans to pauper graves,
omit mentioning that he signed the bills
which continued the Scldiers’ Orphans
Schools and established the Xrie Sol-
diers’ Home, and instituted proceedings
against the Squeers syndicate that was
fattening on the flesh and blood of sol-
diers’ children:
—The Lincoln Indepsndent Republi-
cans of Philadelphia have written a
letter to President HArRrISON asking
hin to deprive QUAY of the power to
dispense official patronage. This is a
proper request, considing the disrepu-
table character of the person against
whom it is directed ; but won't Mr.
Harrison consider it ungrateful to i)
back on the man who managed to raise
tous measure was put in force imme-
diately upon its passage, giving
| ground for the belief that there was an
understanding between those who had
the power to fix the time for the new
tariff rates to go into force, and those
who would be benefited by knowing
when it would begin. Those to whom
such knowledge meant millions could
be expected to contribute liberally to
the Republican campaign fund. What
a source of robbery, oppression and
corruption this monopoly tariff sys-
tem is.

——1In case of the defeat of Dera-
MATER, which is quite likely to hap-
pen by a considerable majority, Quay
will be turned out of his position as
chairman of the Republican National
Committee. Arrangements are already
being made looking forward to that
contingency, as the plan is said to be to
elect headsman CrLarksoN as his suc-
cessor. The Republicans feel that it
would be too heavy a load to carry the
condemned and repudiated Boss at the
head of their National Committee.
An Example That Should Be Imitated-
Those who have the Republican
candidate for Governor in charge
might follow the example of the Re-
publican State Committee of Massa-
chusetts which has withdrawn [Major
GouLp, the Republican candidate - for
State Aaditor. This has been done in
consequence of its oeing discovered
that Major GourLp, while acting as in-
ternal revenue collector, used the funds
of tire United States in his hands for
personal profit. The committee
thought it a scandal too great to be
connected with a candidate on the
State ticket. The Pennsylvania party
managers, however, do not appear to
be so sensitive. Dgramar as State
Senator, used the State funds for his
personal profitas a banker, in direct
violation of au express provision of the
constitution fordidding such ase and
attaching the penalty of ineligibility
to office for five years as a punishment
for such violation, The Republican
committee of Pennsylvania have pre-
sented to them the opportunity and the
occasion for imitating the action of the
Committee of Massachusetts by retir-
ing DELAMATER.
The New York Post argues that if
the Massachuseits example were fol.
lowed in Pennsylvania ‘the Republi-

State ticket; and if it were to be fol-
lowed in its national counsels, it
wonld have no head to its national
committee.’ Says the Post:
The charges against Denamarer and his
master Quay, are no less and no more specifie
than those against Major Goutp. The latter
have been sustained-in court, and the former
would be if Deramarer and Quay would con-
sent to take them there. Why should there be
more sensitiveness among Massachusetts Re-
puablicans than among those of Pennsylvania
and of the national administration ? Probably
because the party mgajority is mach smaller
and much less certain in Massachusetts than
it is in Pennsylvania, owing to the prevalence
of more “squeamish notions” of right or wrong
in the former State.
The “squeamish notions of right
or wrong” which have not heretofore
prevailed in Pennsylvania to the ex-
tent they should have done, are show-
ing a development this year that will
result in a retiring of both DerAMATER
and his master.
—Some of the members of the First
Presbyterian church of West Chester
are entirely too thin skinned. They
gave an exemplification of their cuticu-
lar sensitiveness by going out of church
last Sunday because their pastor, Rev.
| J. C. CALDWELL, said : “The spirit of
| lawlessness has produced such a spirit
of indifference in the mindsof a great
p2ople that they suffered a high officer
to take $260,000 out of the State Treas-
ury, and then in a few years afier they
suffered themselves to elect him to the
position of Treasurer of the State.”’—
We shouldn’t be surprised to hear of
these sensitive church ‘members getting
mad at their pastor for reading that
part of the decalogue which says “Thou
shalt not steal.”

from the Mails.
The pious soul of Post Master Gen-
eral WaNAMAKER took offense at a
book written by one Tolstoi, a Rus-
sian novelist, a keen scent for some-
thing over which he might turn up the
whites of his holy eves, having led
him to detect obscenity lurking within

! his official authority so far as to order
it to be excluded from the mails. No-
thing could have given the alleged ob-
jectionable book such advertising as it
recetved from Mr. WANAMAKER'S put-
ting it under the ban of the post office.
People who hadn't before heard of it
maaaged to get the “Kreutzer Sonata,”
that they might see the dirty things
in it which had caused the Post Mas-
ter Greneral to order it to le kept out
of the mail-bags. It was sold ‘like
hot cakes” on the streets of the cities
by book peddlers, several of whom
were arrested in Philadelphia for the
offense of vending a volume that was
too unclean to be allowed to go
through the post office, according to
good Jouxy WaNaMakER's idea of liter-
ary cleanness. Upon the case being
tried before Judge THAYER, the learn-
ed Judge rendered the following
decision :
“The work may be offensive to our opinions
and convictions, just as others are which are
daily sold in our book stores without objection
or challenge from anybody, but it cannot be
justly said to be of an obscene or lewd charae-
ter, nor is it, either in its sentiments or lan-
gauge, in aoy degree caiculat to minister to
corrupt or licentions practices, or to gratify
lewd desires or to encourage depravity in any
form.
“The Court was reminded upon the argu-
ment that the Czar of Russia and the Post Of-
fice officials of the United States have con-
demned this book as an unlawful publication ;
that the former has prohibited its sale within
his dominions, and the latter have forbidden
its transmission through the mals.
“Without disparaging in any degree the re-
spect due to these high officials within their
respective spheres, I can only say that neiih-
er of them has ever been recognized in this
country as a binding authority in questions of
either law or literature. The defendants have
committed no offense against the laws, and
are therefore discharged.
This decision pats an end to prurient
desire to read Tousror’'s book, which
Mr. WaNAMARER'S foolish order had
stimulated. The
THAYER, judicially rendered, as to the
unobjectionable character of this book
in point of moral effect, conveys a
merited rebuke to the United States
Post Master General who shapes his
official action from the example of the
opinion of Judze
Czar of Russia.
—PATTISON is a clean man in every
respect, ar.d his election would have a
wonderful effect in cleansing the poli-
tics and government of the State. That
is the reason why so many clean Repub-
licans are going to help the Democrats
elect him.
An Embarrassed Organ.
The Shenango Valley News is a
Republican paper that is entitled to
sympathy, It is in a bad way. It
has the party ticket at the head of its
columns and ostensibly supports Dera-
MATER, but is severely down on Quay
and gives reasons why Republicans
should oppose him. These reasons, as
given by the News, are :
“Because he is a boss, pure and simple,
without principle or distinguished ability,
holding his present position through manipu-
lation rather than merit.
“Because he organized and determined the
action of the last Republican State convention
against the known will of the people.
“Because he conspired with the opposition
iu the Senate to defeat the free and fair elec-
tions bill, the only purely national, Republican
measure then and now before the people, and
thus made Republican defeat possible this
fall and in 1892.
“Because he is now conspiring to elect a
Democratic congressman in this district rath-
er than accept a Republican whom he may
not be able to use.
“Because he is a Republican for revenue
only, withouta commendable quality as a
leader, and without any admirable quality as a
statesman.
“Because his continuation at the nead of
the party will wreck the noble organization in
the first national storm that comes upon us.”
The News ought to know that when
it supports the Boss's man it also sup-
ports the Boss. They both go togeth-
er—they are inseparable. Nothing
would so completely confirmed Quay’s
power and render him the undisputed
ruler of Pennsylvania as the election
of the candidate for Governor whom he
imposed upon the party and whom he
intends to own. There is no logic at
all in opposing Quay and supporting
quent power the duty of the people as
received with the greatest enthusiasm,
and the fact is important that all meet-
publicans of prominence, who are heart
and soul with the great uprising of the
ed with the monopoly tariff just passed,
Gov. Pattison’s Triumphal Journey.
Governor Partison’s progress through
the State, which was terminated this
week, was indeed a grand triumphal
march. Everywhere he received enthu-
siastic greeting from people of all politi-
cal parties. His reception in Pittsburg
was the most remarkable political wel-
come that was ever accorded to any
candidate. It was the more remarka-
ble from the fact that Allegheny coun-
ty is a Republican stronghold; but it is
claimed by both the Democrats and
Independent Republicans that this
year the big Republican majority will
be reversed and ParrrsoN will have a
majority in a county which two years
ago gave Harrison 20,000 majority.
The meeting which he addressed at
Pittsburg astonished his friends by its
size and enthusiasm. It was difficult to
tell whether the Democrats or the Re-
publicans whoattended it were the more
numerous and enthusiastic. At Mead-
ville, the hoine of QuaY’s candidate he
probably made the strongest speech of
the tour. In it he laid down with elo-
to boss rule. Everywhere he has been

a little amusing is that in one of its
charges against Quay it says that “he

against the known will of the people,”
and yet it supports the candidate
whom that convention nominated at
Quays dictation.

——~Canvassing by express train is
not exactly a new political performance,
but it was never before carried to such
perfection as was done by Governor
Parison during the past two weeks,
His last performance was a repetition
of the tour he made eight years ago,
ending in victory, hut it was more ex-
tensive and successful, and excited a
greater amount of enthusiasm. A
larger number of people were seen and
more meetings were addressed. In
one day, for instance, he addressed not
less than 16,000 people at nine meet-
ings in the western counties from the
lake to the Ohio river. The atten-
dance of the people all through his
tour was simply immense.
The Rich Man’s Tariff,
The tariff which went into operation
last Monday is emphatically the rich
man’s tariff. It will not only fail to
increase the wages of the workinzman,
bat discriminates against him in laying
heavier duties on his necessaries than
on the luxuries of the rich. This is
shown by comparing the schedules of
the two tariffs. For instance the duty
on cotton corduroys used principally
by the poor man is raised from 35 to
75 per cent., while that on fine cassi-
meres is only increased from 48% to 60
per cent; on sealskin sacques, worn al-
most exclusively by rich ladies, the du-
ty is actually reduced from 30 Sto 20
per cent, while silk plush in imitation
of sealskin, which is used by people of
moderate means, is enormously increas-
ed from 50 to 110 per cent.;" fine
broadeloths used by rich men is slight-
ly increased from 50 to 60 per cent,
but woolens used by workingmen is
pit up from 80 to 110 per cent; silk-
velvets in which rich dames array
themselves is treated so kindly that
thie duty of 50 per cent. in the old tariff

cotton velvets with which the poor
