CULTIES.
The merits and demerits of the pro
tective tariff as we have it will no
doubt be the better understood by the
American people in consequence of
the bitter and determined struggle of
capitalists to maintain the monopoly
they control by force of favorable leg
islation. They have shown them
selves capable already of bidding
high or low, if you please, for the
special advantages they hold. To
avoid the equitable reformation sought
by Democracy in behalf of the masses
as against the classes they have shown
themselves competent to intimidate,
threaten and filibuster to an extent
unprecedented in all our past history
as a "government by, of and for the
people." At every step of the tariff
bill s advancement towards completion
it has been, and will be, arrested by
monopolists through hired Senatorial
and House representatives.
Though General Logan is dead his
wife survives him, she being at pres
ent the conductor of a magazine at
Washington which lately said : " Let
Congress act promptly on the tariff
bill, and if possible enable capitalists
to start the many industries now lying
idle." She might have added without
distorting the truth any, '-lying idle
for political effect and their ultimate
advantage."
The tariff question, being older
than Mrs. Logan, was frequently
pulled apart and stuck together again
while General Logan was living, and
it sometimes happened that it was the
height of Republican wisdom to pre
tend, at least, to reform it in the in
terest of the masses as against the
classes ; and, if we remember right,
her husband along with Grant, Sher
man, Butler, Banks and others, some
times uttered words, perhaps calcula
ted to tickle the ears of their humbler
constituants (and right sharp ones,)
against continuing for the special ben
efit of our manufacturers a high war
tariff in time of peace.
To the writer it seems this bull-dog
battle that Cleveland is instigating
against the classes and in favor of the
masses is only in fulfilment of his hon
est promises to the sovereign power
that elected him, and were he to let
loose to-day, to-morrow there would
be no congressional effort toward
tariff reformation or income-taxation.
The victory would be with the money
power entirely and completely. If
Crant was a bull-do? in war, Cleve
land is one in peace, and we verily
believe there are both Senators and
Representatives standing by Cleveland
in this stubborn fight who had much
rather be excused if they could do so
and still maintain the good will of the
President. There is but little doubt
about this in the mind of the writer.

Just A Little Dirt Uncovered.
Under title of "Big amounts offer
ed Senators to vote against the tariff
till," the trifling matter of $j.ooo is
' n.cntiuned ts a single bid for a single
, vote. While this money looks large
to an honest constituent there is noth
; particularly nrique about it in Con
gress. The interests involved with
lar;je manufacturers are so heavy
sometimes that $25 cjo is not regard
ed as much, if by putting it where it
will do the most cood, high protection
will still continue to protect. If noth
ing else proved that there is big money
in high protection for particular indi
viduals these constant bids for votes
prove it. It is not always of course
that the bidders names are made
known. The disclosure of this $5,
000 bid is purely accidental. It seems
that some one has thoughtlessly let it
out that Senator Hunton was indirect
ly offered $25,000 for his vote, and
the like amount was tendered Scrntor
Kyle through his private secretary.
There is nothing strange about it.
Until the lobbyist knows his man he
is, of course, obliged to operate in
directly, but he operates all the same.
If tariff reform is virtually defeated
to-day (and Republicans so declare 1
through Chaunccy Iq ew, who is re
ported as saying that buines3 will
no boom again) we imy pretty safely
attribute it to the c.Ticacy of cash for
votes Democratic votes, Repuplican
votes and Populists votes. The
" boodle so called, has been dropped
carelessly around the House and Sen
ate and into the hand3 of male and
female lobbyists, or wherever it will do
the most good directly or indirectly for
reviving business as they say. How
devilish patriotic and sympathetic they
are !
It is no doubt true that unless par
ticular classes are highly ptotected in
their highly profitable business, and to
detriment of unprotected industries,
the business of these particular classes
will be less profitable and hence less
detrimental to others who are more
deserving of national help and special
favor, just because they have never
yet received it. Such indeed, is the
case with the languishing farmer of
protected America, since he can go to
Canada and buy American-made plows
cheaper than he can buy ihem at
home, just for the want ot a little free
trade, don't you see ?
1 he salvation of our beloved coun
try we think, after all, lies in the val
uable knowledge the farmer is getting
from experience rather than from
books and political tracts and oratory
just before election.
As for oratory just before election.
it don't seem to be so eloquent as it
used to be with the farmer, though it
can hardly be that native eloquence is
on the decline. S'e had rather attri
bute it to the scarcity of stumps now
generally drawn, and from which our
heroic statesmen of old used to pour
forth iheir burning eloquence, the im
press of which would at least cover
the day of election. Mr. Buttz, the
lobbyist involved in the recent dis
closure of several little $25,000 bids
for protection, claimed furthermore to
know here a million dollars might be
reached Dy Senators and Representa
tives who are willing to listen to
money talk. For one we believe
there is too much money involved in
tariff reformation for the present Con
gress to effect a radical reformation
against the classes and in favor of the
masses. But let us at least give Dem
ocracy credit for having made a rather
stubborn effort.
Either a Lie or a License to Marry
Hereafter.
It looks as though peace and equity
can never prevail until we have an in
terstate marriage license law. The
law as we have it in Pennsylvania
rather discriminates against our
preachers, and it favors Jersey preach
ers who can marry anybody without
license. But New Jersey now antici
pates a marriage-license, we are glad
to learn, though its restrictions apply
only to Pennsylvanians and other non
residents of New Jersey. If Penn
sylvanians would not lie so when
about to marry the prohibition might
prohibit their going to New Jersey
and passing themselves off as Jersey
tolks just in order to marry without
license. Though the Federal Consti
tution declares that "the citizens of
each State shall be entitled to all priv
ileges and immunities of citizens in
the several States,"' how are you going
to reconcile it when one state says
" you may marry here all you want to
without leave or liccrse, while an ad
joining State Siys -'you can 'o nothing
oi the kind. But Pennsylvania cer
tainly owes a slice of wedding-cake
to Jersey, if nothing more, for requir
ing that foreigners who come there to
evade the marriage law of their re
spective States must either lie or get
a license before they can legally marry
even in Jersey hereafter. We men
tion the matter as a bit of encourage
ment to Pennsylvania preachers,
though we are still fearful that all run
away matches will naturally gravitate
to Jersey and lie as often as need be,
as to their nativity, for the purpose of
marrying without license. It will be
either lie or license hereafter in Jer
sey, and we are inclined to think it
will be lie mostly.

PROGRESS OF TARIFF BILL.
While the end of it is now said to
be in sight by hopeful democrats, the
metal schedule Ujon which the high
est kicking will la done has just been
reached in the tedious revision.
" We expect to begin gathering
taxes under the Wilson bill on the
first day of July," says the sanguine
Senator Jones.
If the income-tax proposed is not
eliminated from the bill there need
not be so much objection to giving
our manufacturers their usual monop
oly, provided it is possible to collect
an income-tax from them. But there
is the rub. If they refuse to pay an
income tax and still insist upon being
protected in their various monotwlies,
for one we say sock it to them from
both ways from tariff revision and
from income taxation. It will not
hurt them, and it will do the masses a
great deal of good. They can't learn
any younger that the masses need
protection as well as individuals. The
Government needs it to day a great
deal worse than the particular indus
tries she has fostered until they are
too arrogant and haughty to permit
equitable legislation for the masses as
against the classes, and of which they
are, indeed the upper tendom both in
political and social influence as well
as in all our commercial relations at
home and abroad. We would like to,
but we cannot agree with sanguine
Democrats that the tariff will undergo
any substantial reformation, or that
an income-tax upon fabulous wealth
will be successfully assessed and col
lected, commencing, as they intimate,
upon the first day of r.ext July.
Mr. Quay, having already unloaded
himself of 350 columns of argument
in favor of high protection of the
metals, has only stopped to load np
again from the inexhaustible supply
of high- tariff statistics to be found iii
the tons of old Congressional Records.
Then our sugar industries, the
sweetest plum in America, are un
favorably located for a rigid levision
this session. And as for our lumber
industries, so far as Pennsylvania is
concerned the heavenly elements seem
to have settleJ this industry until
more trees "row on the west branch
of the Susquehanna.

Public Prhter Benadict Settling
Down To Business.
The Public Printer was a little late
about being appointed and confirmed,
but having once got there he very soon
began to level tilings up politically.
Accordingly he has issued about 700
leaves to quit which will be distributed
among the other fellows within to
make room for some of his own kind
without In the 1 riming business there
are but few places held by those in
office that cannot be duplicated by
those who want office, and who, being
in political harmony, should have first
chance in our opinion. If elective
offices belong to the victors, so ought
appointive offices for sake of political
harmony and the perpetuation of the
successful issue.

much at flrit, but toon became more painful, my
strength began to decline and I could not rest at

grew rapidly worse. Early in 1800 I had to use
crutches and my health wa very poor, having
lost my appetite and being reduced in flesh. In
the fall of 1801 I Lad to tike to my bed and

many different niedielnef but did get relief. In
the meantime to give me relief, the several
bunches around my knee were lanced and later

FB0TEUTI0N HAS FAILED.
Every nation must pass through
commercial barbarism to commercial
civilizition, from protection to free
traJe. The tlcsire to get rich at the
expense of others is well-nigh universal.
It is easy to persuade most people
that to " protect " their own artisans
from the competition of " foreign
pauper labor " is an act of patriotism.
This admitted, it is easily narrowed
down to our own State, our own
county, our own city, our own village,
or even our own street. In the last
century the farmers of Middlesex, the
county in which London is situated,
petitioned Parliament against improv
ing the abominable roads of England.
They frankly claimed that so long as
the roads were bad they had a mo
nopoly of the London markets for the
sale of their vegetables, fruit and grain ;
that if the roads were improved the
farmers of other countries would be
able to bring their produce to the
London markets, which would be very
disastrous to the " industry " of Mid
dlesex. This looks very foolish on the
face of it, and yet in principle it is
the doctrine of American protection
ists to-day. Trumbulta Free Trade.
Among other troubles in Jersey,
outside of her proverbial and ever
lasting mosquito-plague, is now the
unhappy rivalry of two State Senates.
The Supreme Court may possibly
determine which is the S:ate Senate
proper, but the mosquitoes will likely
occupy ihe land forever.
