PRINCELY FORTUNES OAL0RE HAVE BEEN AMASSED THERE SINCE 1860, WHILE WAOES 11 VE BEEN PERSISTENTLY PA RED AND RENTS HAVE GONE UP BAL LOTS THAT ARE FREE IN NAME ONLY. Pittsburg is the land of tariff barons and "proteoted" Workingmen. Hero are the Carnegies, the Joneses, the Olivers, tho iron, steel, coal and glass manufacturers, mills and work:.ngmon. The tariff tree is here. What are its fruits? Seventy-two millionaries who have made their pile out of tho "American System of Protection" livo bore. Here are five of whom tho publio bears a good deal: Andre v Carnegie Mr. Blaine's coaching friend. B. F. Jones Ex-Chairman of the Republican National Committee. H. W. Oliver Ex-member of tho Tariff Commission and Republican platform maker at Ciioago. A. M. Byers Republican platform maker; heavy campaign contributor to the Republican campaign funds. Member of the iron firm of E. M. Byers and Co. John Chalfant Mr. Blaine's friend; campaign contributor. Member of the firm of Spang, Chalfant and Co. The autographs of these five "pro tected" gentlemen at the bottom of a check are good for $25,000,00,0 all made within the high-tariff period of Republican ascendancy. As makers of tariffs and irons they are a success. No wonder they are strenuously in favor of the "American System of Protection." ''There's millions in it" literally for them, and it is vastly more pratical than Mr. Mulberry Seller's "eye-water'' scheme. A few years ago Mr. Carnegie was a poor boy living in Barefoot equate, Third Ward, Allegh eny. Twenty-one years ago Mr. Oliv er was a clerk for Graff, Bennet & Co. at $900 a year. Thirty years ago Mr. Jones had nothing but brains, industry and Welsh aptitude for iron-monger-iog. Twenty-two years ago Messrs. Chalfant and Byers were either mak ers of iron specialities on a modest scale or salesmen for iron firms. And these princely fortunes, made in a few years, are one fruit. But there is a notber. Here is tho hotbed of labor dis-affection, of strikes sometimes riots. Here organized labor makes its annual struggle for a "scale" of liv ing wages. Here ten per cent, reduc tions are made in men's wages while coaching parties and castles in Scot land are paid for with the profits from their labor. "Protection for American Labor" is tho unvarying declaration in Republi can platforms and on the hustings, but bave not these proteoted "barons" resisted all attempts of tbe American laborer to get "protection" wages! And when labor becomes clamorous for its rights, has not Millionaire Carnegie summoned Pinkerton's men to keep them quiet, and Oliver scoured Europe for pauper soum to take their places, or imported old nails, whilo American labor stood sullen and hungry "at tbe outer gate!" Has not Chalfant and his "protected" laborers for oonsniraoy for daring to demand a share of that "protection" which tho Republican platform guarantees? And lastly, what was the condition ot those pro tected loborers in Pennsylvania whilo their employers were making millions from the tariff? Their wages steadily declined; their living expenses have yearly increased: Rents have almost doubled. A few figures will make this clear: Cltjr debt of Pittsburg la 1860 f. ,..11,008,800 City debt ot Pittsburg in 18 15,000,000 PoDulatlon of llttsbure In 18(0 49.810 Population or nttaburg In issa 200,000 Major's solus per year In I860 7on Mayor's salary per year In ltfes 7,ou) city solicitor's salary In IB" 400 city Solicitor's salary in 1883 5,000 Annual city appropriation In 1860 , 43o,ooo Annual appropriation In 1883 .S,Slt,500 The city dobt, which is a mortago on the home of every "laborer," has grown fifteenfold, whilo population lias grown but lourioiu. uity expens es havo grown tenfold. Under "pro tection' heaters, and puuulers wages have declined 15 to 20 per oont., cupo la men SO per cent., pitmen 40 per cent, ana so on. Un April 28 Mr. Uarnecie, in an "authorized interview," said to the strikers at iiraadocks: "1 give you my word ot honor that there is no earthly inducement that will tempt us to run the Edgar Thompson works except up on two turns, as our competitors run, and except upon tho sliding-scalo which is ottered you. Whilo Harry Oliver was struggling at the Republican Convention at Chi cago, David R. Oliver addressed tho men hero. Tbe general depression, he said, was due to tbe fact that too largo a proportion ot tbe rccoipts go out wages. The soale was accordingly reduced at Olivor's mills. B. F. Jones, Ex-Chairman of the Republican Committee, eald, Juno 20 "Our works will close down to-morrow and remain closed until a satisfactory scale is presented to ns uy tho work men." A. M.

Now that Mr. Blaino has arrived, it is to' bo hopod thai tho republicans of the Senate will hurry up with their tariff bill. Tho democratio Senators will not filibuster to prevent the republicans from defeating tho fisheries troatv. If the republicans aro willing to go to the conntry as having rejected a just settlement of this question, it is their own lookout.

Tho democratio party, with the backbone of Andrew Jackson, would not make any foolish quarrel, but if war oame, would stand by the country, right or wrong. The repub licans might mean a joke, might mean some traffic, some swapping of knives, or chaffering about a oontact, bnt tbo democratio ptrty meant business. The Senator, at the conclusion of his remarks, reffered sarcastically to the bomb nroof war records of some of the loud mouthed republican Sanatora. He also reminded the Republicans of tbe fact that Mr. Cleveland had de feated them every time he had ever como in oootaot with them, and that he would do so again this year. ti. tj 1 l , .,, , " " X r genator Call spoke in favor of tho fisheries treatv to-dav.

The Senate has, without a division, passed a bill introduced by Mr. Spoon er to regulato commerce carried on by telegraph The aot is to take effect Nov. 1st, 1888. It places the telegra ph business under the control of the Inter-Stale Commerce Commission. It has been authoritatively stated from the White House, that the rum ors in regard to tbe President's ask ing for the resignation of Commis sioner at I'ensions Ulack, are entirely without foundation. The relations be tween Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Blaok aro perfectly harmonious. Tho House committee on the mer chant marine and fisheries, will to-mor row begin tbe investigation of tbe Alaska Seal fisheries, authorized by the recent resolution of the House. There is a mine of republican crook edness in this matter, and it is believ ed that tbe committoe will succeed in exposing it. Owing to the large excess over the estimates of new railroad mail service put on by the Postoffice department, the Postmaster-General has been com pelled to ask for a difioiency appro priation of $250,000 for that branch of tho service. Tbe National Convention of tho American party will meet here to-mor row. Abont sou dolegates aro exucct od. Tbey will nominate candidates for Presideut and Vico President. All tho talk about disagiecments be tween Mr. Cleveland and the national committee is nonsense.

Washington, Aug. 14 The Presi- dent has not yet begun writting his letter of acceptance and, as matters now stand, it will not bo iswd until after tho Senato has beforo it tho Re publican Tariff bill. Tho President regards this measure as justly stating the Republican party's attitude in the issue rather than what is said in tbe Chicago platform. It is the general opinion of tho Democratio leaders here, indeed, that tho Republioan majority of Financo Committee will bo compelled to "sur render some part of tbe protective sys tem," and thus will belie tho promise of the national platform. Tbo com mitteo is making manful efforts to whip tho rocalcilraiK Senators into lino and to seouro unanimous Republi can support for a bill in apparent har mony with the platform, but at leaBt two of tho Western men bers are as yet obstinate on the proposed heavy cut upon tho sugar tar, and there aro perhaps three or four equally obstinate on the proposed reduotion of the whis koy tax. Tho President will probably, there fore wait until the party ban thus de finitely made the issue. The Senato bill is promised within tho noxt isn days, and the letter of acceptance will ouow very promtly thereafter. Mr. Cleveland's letter in 1884 wn given to tbo pnblio on Aug., 24, and this letter wonld thus go to the country at about tho same date. The President seems not at all disturbed by tbe oppo sition hints and asperations regarding it, but if the Senate majority should find such great difficulty in perfecting 1 1 mii mat mo measure canuot be ex pected beforo well into September, it is probable that ho will not aw.tit its appearance, and will give to the can- vass as forceful, and, perhaps, as im portant an impetus as bis message last winter gave to the general course ot tariff reform. It may bo added that, while he has not yet begun writing his letter, ho has given its subject matter abund ant thought; and, after the Senate Tariff bill is in, or when ho thinks tho proper time has arrived, that it will quickly be put to paper and sent to tho press, it is tho President s habit to write with his own hand, not only at bis stato papors, but oven his official and privato correspondence. It is said upon authority that ho has not used a stenographer sinoo coming to Washington. Ho composes his mes sago or other important document in his mind, and makes surprisingly few alternations from tho first draft in the completed paper. The manuscript of his first letter of acceptance, which is now in possession of Dr. Samuel Ward, of Albany, has not above two or three ohanges to tbe page. It will bo remembered that it was written in the North Woods, while he and Dr. Ward were fishing in tho neighborhood of Saranao Lako. Tho first draft was prepared ono even ing after thuir rnturn from a hard day s work, and tho copy sent to tbo committee was made on the following day. Those who havo conversed with tbo President on tho subject of this second letter say that it will likely be of a natnro to profoundly interest the party and the country, both from the origi nality and tho straightforward fashion of tho views expressed.

Thero languishes in the county Jail for want of ball, a man by the name of Hiram Eckroth, of MiRllnylllc, Pa., well-known throughout both Columbia and Luzerne counties as an active business man, but who lately has, unfortunately, been the vlc'lm of Ill-luck, or his own folly. Eck roth a few years back was known as a very prosperous young man, and probably en vied by many of his acquaintances for his successful career, but misfortune cast her mantle upon him later on and he had the experience that "trouble never comes single handed." Ills first series ot tribulations cams in the form of very heavy costs placed upon him by a jury in the courts of Colum bia county when the verdict of "not guilty hut pay the costs," which, by the way, was from $1,000 to $1,200. Whether this ver dict was a just one seemed to bo a question to many, but while other men under such circumstances would havo given up the struggle to success in despair, Eckroth stuggled on with the best prospects before him until quite recently. Certain rumors Eckroth says were unfounded ; but never theless, they were probably the turning tide of Ids life, for they had the effect of creating a ruptlon in his family tics, and he became an alien to them perhaps forever. These facts we merely mention to show under what difficulties ho had been laboring and now to come to his present difficulties wo will state it as his side of the story : Last October Eckroth hired a man from Shlckshinny by the namo of C. II, Roberts, who had been lumbering. Tho latter, pre vious to his hiring with Eckroth, had sent a car load of lumber to Philadelphia parties who rejected It as culls ; Eckroth then es. sayed to go down and sell this lumber, which he did, realizing $101 and tho freight wbilo the Philadelphia parties would not even pay the freight to havo it- In the meantime Roberts sold something like $1G0 worth of Eckroth's lumber, and when the latter returned bo proposed retaining the amount ho obtained In Philadelphia to olT scl what Roberta had realized, but Roberta did not propose to settle that way, aud said he wanted tho funds Eckroth retained for his expenses, &c., aud when the latter re fused to comply with the request, ho was arrested for embezzlement as bailee, when Eckroth mado a counttr-chargo and the cases went beforo tho Grand Jury and both ignored, as they termed It dog eat dog case, But this did not sctilo tho strife for Eckiolh was again arrested on the samo charge aud Bid Wilson, of this city, went his ball. It was the understanding, Eckroth says, that his trial would not como up until the Sep tember session of court, as be was told by Alderman Donohue. Matters assumed a serious shapo however, when tho case came up at tbo Juco session when by tho non appearance of Eckroth for trial ho forfeited his ball. Wilson, thinking it was a game of the former to heat him, promptly bad Detec tives Hull and Holland engaged to ferret out tho supposed fugitive from justice. Meanwhile the defendant was enjoying a trip to tho West, and on his return stopped at Wllllamsport, Danvlllu and Uloomthurg, aud at tho latter place was taken Into custody by Holland, whom he says gave him no time to look for bail, hut unceremo niously hustled him oil to the city jail. He denies it as his intention to skip his ball, and hopes to bo enjoying bis freedom by to-morrow, Eckroth's case, If he is Innocent, is a sad and deplorable one, and Ms friends will feel sorry.
