Tue address was deiivtrrd sev eral yeais ago, before th li.-puMican pany bad got bound entirely to the tariff robbers, and as it is a? irue now as it was then, it is very wholesome reading : "The present system of pro tection back taxes and waterlogs every other manufacturer. The whole system is mutual pluurler one of another and all of each. .Suppose I have a protec tion of 50 per cent. I levy that much extra for nay ods on my neighbors. But my neighbors aido have a piotec fiou of 40 to 1i.hi per cent, aud they levy buck ou m?, aud when we come to balance tut at the end of the year we tic J that, so far at least aa the work ingmeu are concerned, what they have gained in nominal wages they have lost in the arliticial cost of living. The manufacturing capitali's, it ia true, have increased their profits, but it has been done at the expe&re of the unpro tected farmers, who cannot tax back by fixing an arliticial price on their pro ducts because the market value of their crops is determined by the foreign quotations. In this protection struggle to grab one from the other whete the game is the d 1 take the hindmost, ti e unprotected agriculturists are the ones who get "taken in" and done for by the smarter town gentry. Protection is a fraudulent and false system. Free dom of exchange, like truth, alone leads to honest results. In a country liko ours, where money is abundant and for loan by hundreds of millions ; where it goes begging for 4 or 5 per cent, on good securities ; where there is as ruacn surplus wealth as iu any nation in the world except England, and very nearly as mncb as in England ; where men cannot find in vestment for their capital, it is not ne cessary to our "infant industries" any longer to live on spoon vituals. They have been coddled long enough at thd cost of the farmers. They are 'stal warts" now, aud if they can't stand let them sit down or go into soma other buaiueas." The consideration of the question of the Cua! d:slnbu'.iou of the floJ relief fund was considered by the commission at Ilarrbburg ou Saturday and it was agreed to give Johnstown S1.G00.000 now, to be distributed on the same basis as the first, distribution. The comminaiou has received ?2.05, 114,o2, and baa on baud 51,COO,4.G.5o, subject to contracts coi yet completed, amount ing to !3.XiO and appropriations to oilier parts of the State of fM.l'jO.Oo. In ttie Conemaugh valley $700,352.70 has ben expended and In other parlsof the State 5109.'27o.o5. Yarious sub scriptions are still being received by the commission. TliE fact two of l'ens:ou Commis sioner Tanoei's orders have bten rt versed fcy ths Acting CotnmLssioner shows that Secretary Noble contem plates a less liberal pension policy. The retiring Commissioner directed all local examining Boards, upon applica tion of pensionsers receiving a less rate than ?1 a month, to examine them for rerating. He held that a man who was not pensionable at the rate of ?4 a month was not entitled to a pension at all. Il:s purpose was to raise the pen sionnrs receiving ?1, ? oi 53 a month to the 4 ciass. TliE late Republican State Convens tion and President Harris in held entire ly different views. About the time the Couvention was endorsing Corporal Tanner and patting bim ou tbe back for getting rid of the surplus. President Harrison was getting ready to unload the Tension Cowissioner. It makes no diff-rence however to the "truly loyal" in Pennsylvania, if the Convention was be;d to-tu'-rrow it would pss a resolu tion commending President Harrison for hia summaiily bouncing Tanner, for the simple reason that Harrison is now on top. Pension Commissioner Tanner, who opened tbe bung-bole of tbe Treas ury and waa getting away with the aur pltsa in fine style was requested by President Harrison, to step down and oat one day last week and after delib erating until tbe last moment aa to whether be would reaign or be kicked oat concluded to resign, aed bis resign ation waa promptly accented.

Tre bill of exceptions CM by counsel for the State was allowed by the court and pending an arpei to tbe United Ptates Supreme Court, Xagle was or dered released on bis own recognizance with bonds fixed at $r.000. Tjie estimated increase of tbe public debt turns out to have been much too small. For tbe month of August it was SC.cra,G92, and for July 51,317,312. During the corresponding months of last year the public debt was decreased S3.CC.7fJ0 and 52,879.052 respectively, This Virning of a surplus into a deficit, if it continues throughout the present fiscal year, aa it has begun In its fiisf twomopths, will make neceeeary an in crease of taxation instead of the relief that baa been proposed. f'c.VKRjuiR Forakeu wasj quoted with saying in a speech made at Spring fleld, Ohio, en Saturday that aa obscure member of tbe Cabinet, Noble, caused Tanner'a downfall. On Monday the Governor denied that be made the state- i.ment. On Tuesday Secretary Koble'a I brother, a business man of Columbus, and several citizens, made- affidavit that Foraker used the language attributed to bim. ! It ia said that n English syndicate has btaice contr 1 of a the tanneries In Ne England and New York, and 1 will run them as one lartre plant. Tauuerim Mill Campant. It is very evident althouTi Tanner ia gone, that his spirit and influence en dure and that the evil be did does in fact live after bim. The determina tion to periston every man who wore a uniform, whether he needs it or cot, or whether the law sanctions sucn a proceeaing or not, seems to be identifi ed with the Republican party sj strong ly that nothing can dissociate the two. Even meu of the character, standing and high military record of Kusieil A. Alger hesitate when asked, to give any thing more than lha customary pla.uu dinoua evasions on the great question of Tannerism. Every indication thus far, however, poio.s to a continuance of the Tanner spiut in the p-nsion Ofli:e. The man universally a kuowledgfd to be hist in favor at Court is William Warner, ex-Commander-iu-Chief of the "Grand Army," than whom no one. cot even Tanner, has spoken aud worked more BTongiy for service pensions, or, in other words, for pensions to every man who were a uniform, be It fot a day or fouryers. As be said in bis address beforw the Milwaukee Encampmeot on the 23th inst.: "Let the Committee on Pensions take your recommendations to coiigiess backed by a united Grand Army cf the K-pub.ic and there will be o failure.' The singular lack of dignity in such a proceeding does not teem to occur to the "Grand Army" at all. They say. in effect, "We are the heroes who saved the Uu:un, and we want to be paid fordoing it. If you don't pay us we will make trouble for you or vote the other ticket." Anything more strongly calculated to take away from the "honored blue" all its glorious or patriotic associations could scarcely be conceived ; and yet this spiiit ia the moat promiuent in the "Graud Army" beyond a doubt. Everyman who suffered lots of limb or health in the line of duty, that ia from lie be 1 bulleta ia ' battle or from dibeaaea necessarily incidental or tiace able to the service, is entitled to a pn sion and if he asked for it, has long ago received It under laws which have always been in force. The enormous overgrowth of pensions which began under that appointed President, Kuiu erford It. Hayes, is over ar;d above and beyond the only correct principle as stated above. If there is any spirit left in the Grand Army and amongst the surviving soldi ery of the ltrbellion that ia not a com mercial one, for heaven's sake let us bear it. Tre mercenaries and dema-(Tocu-s of the Tanner-Warner Tuitle Fairchild sort are fast disgusting sensi ble and patriotic people with tbe very names of "veteran" and "Grand Army of the Hrpablic" This is melancholy but it is a 'act. Let the soldiers who believe in patriotism as against detna gogutry. and who are opposed to grave national scandals and embarrassments in the name, of "pensions." epeak out. I 'ft da. Jlcrulil. Threatening the ew England Iron Manufacturers. There is consternation in f rmr rf - r 'j v i i mo riiurat. j?r - tit ion of manufacturers of iron in New England prayinsr for free oreii, coal aud ci'ke, ar.d for a 24 percent, ad valorem duly ou pig iron and steel. Theref;ie fitm behind the breastwork? of the Iron and Steel Association pops up Mr. Secretary S-A-ank, musket in band, ready to d;-lend to tbe last ep the sacred tariff on p'g-irou and its Components. Like other enthusiasts, however, Mr. Swank overdoes his protesting, and r M iiifT.irnri rr. n rv r?..v . -. . overmrowi n:s economic arguments by incautious vuaiiotis ot mdustrial facts. What SeCretarV Swank nn-ara nnat to desire is that the New ELgland irou manuiacturers shall go out of the busi nss. leaving a wider monopoly for the pig-iron loids of Pittsburg and the West. But, with exquisite impertin ence, he does Lot hesitate to threaten tb New Englanders with th direst evils of tree trade if they should insist upon having cheaper ores and coal. "R'duce the duties on pig-iron," cries Swank, "and down will come the duties on everything made from it. If we are ever to have free trade in this coun'ry we will have plenty of it ; and New England will get its full snare." We hoje so. To a similar feast of free trade, if we remember aright, have the attorneys and lobby ia-a of the Ohio wool growers invited tbe woolen manufactur era if they should dare to demaud. not free wool, but ad yaloram instead of specific duties on wool. But these are idle threats. The enor mous duty of $0.72 ier ton on pig-iron, like the paralyzing duties on wool, will have to be reduced. Tbe New England iron manufacturers' proponed 24 per cent, would amount to $3.50 a ton. is quite enough too much, indeed for all honest purposes, and should satis fy even tbe greedy pigLron ring which Mr. Swank so sturdily defends. It ia hieh time that the iron consumers' in nir.g should come. Lower duties would also help the iron manufacturer by en larging bis markets at home and abroad. Phila. JitconL Vetting at Certain Expectations. We are certainly coming to a closer standing of tbe veteran pensloneia platform. The balance of the account between tbem aud the rest of tbe pre sent population was atruck by Senator Icealls at a reunion in Arkansas City, and reported by tbe ytlranln Stnte JmmaL After calculating what the weal-h of the country is, "the soldier," said Senator Ingalls, 'has earned it afl. Without bim there wou.d have teen uo traasurv. no nation. He is entitled to bis patronage of it." Senator Ingalls is a man of strong and feeling convictions, and of great ability and readiness to express them. But, according to bis reasoning, the plan of distribution br proposes hardly seems to be fair. The old soldier would eeem to be entitled to all tfce wealth the Uuited States Treasury may hold. It is still a curious fact that as this movement gathers way to immerse the entire surviving body of veterans and their connections deeper and deep er in the Nation's property, no one as yet arises in the Grand Armv organiza tion to moderate it. A". Y. Sun. Des Moines. ePt. 17. An un known tramp was walking on the Chi cago and Northwestern track from Council B'uffs to Missouri Valley, and between Crescent and Stony Creek be found a broken rail ou a high embank ment where tbe rail makes a sharp curve. It was an outside rail next to the river, and no train could have passed over in safety. The next train due was the limited passenger, and be reso'ved to avert a terrible wreck if possible. He ran to Honey Creek three miles distant, and tried to raise the operator, who was not at his post. He then aroused the"ection hands, and they took the hand car and went back to tbe broken rail, arriving there just in time to flag the limhed and stop it within a few feet of almost certain de struction.

The President eeems to have some ditSculty in getting a su'.'ab!e IVusion Commissioner, and it all results froifl the bad start be made at the outset, in appointing Tanner, and instructing him "to deal hberally with thehoya." Gen eral Wafner declines the office. Gener al Cox. of Oaio; baa been suggested, but as be is a foremost lawyer of bis S.ate and has been a cabinet officer will hardly care for such promotion back ward. Iu any appoiatmeut he may make Mr. Harrison will of coarse have th Grand Army and 1'J2 in view ; but the uproar Tanner created by bis reck less and illegal methods shows that the eolid business interests of the country have an eye ou the administration of tit Pension Bureau. How to satisfy this importaut element and the Grand Arnoy politicians at the same time is the vexatiouf problem before the Presi dent. Ot course be will not be able to doit. His first mistake iu appointing Tanner and inviting bin to onload tbe surplus to 'tbe boys,' it is easy to see wa?, the bad start that made a worse ending. While the President deserves credit for booting Tanner out of office, it must be remembered the appoint ment was made despite the vigorous irotests which set forth tbe shallow qualities of rbe man. A suggestion is made tbe ofSce snould go now to a re tired officer of tbe regular army, with no political axes to grind, and some au tempt be made to bring the pension bus iness back to its legitimate functions, and reform the rolls by striking from tbem all persons not clearly entitled to the nation's bounty. This would be desirable, but with tbe impetus that has been given these foray a on the treasury by Congress, by parties and politicians such reform seems well oigb impossible. "It is muling us a nation of jtrjurers," ia a remark we beard not long ago from a high officer of tbe pen fion bureau, a so:dier of merit and a Republican ia politics, in commenting on the loose administration of tbe office, and the arts and devices of tbe claim agents, some of whom have become millionaires. Tbe scaadals narrated privately of tbe affair, of the bureau exceed by great odds ail that baa been made public. PitUburg Post. X W onderful Cruiser. Apparently tbe new cruiser Baltimore is the swiftest naval vessel ever built in any country. In a trial under un favorable couditioua, with new machin ery, in a rough sea. the ship steamed for three hours at a speed ef 20.2 knots an hour icd developed about teu thou sand horse power without beating a journal or showing a strain anywhere. Tbe Cramps, who built tbe ship, are to be congratulated upon an achieve ment far in excess ot requirements, and Ex-Secretary Whitney is fairly entitled to plume himself upon the result in a case in which he selected the design and let the contract in tbe face of much adverse criticism. But after all it is the country which has most reason to rejoice, for the pos session of mch a ship apart from the great credit her character does to Ameiican skill and enterprise in ship building ia an important pirt of that guraatee of peace which alone is the obj ct of Americans In building tbe new navy. Tbe most vulnerable parf of every maritime nation is its cojomerce. and with a few such vessels as the Balti more ailjat under our flag we should hae little reason to articipale wantou attack on the part of any country with a merchant 6hip to lose. The Baltimore is aa speedy as the 'ocean greyhounds" themselves. No ordinary merchant vessel of an enemy once sighted at eea could hope to escape her, while there is no fighting ship ol a data too strong for ber from which she could noteasily run away upon occasion. Fast crusiers are not all that we need for the country's defense, but they con stitute a very important part of the new navy, and It waa sound policy which made their construction the first step. It is also good fortune that the capacity of American craftsman to construct them successfully is so well attested aa it is by the Baltimore's performance. A Y. World. Conrk-t Labor.

Maragrutn staggered out of the cave with tbe bowling cat on bis shoulders, and his companions, not daring to shoot, beat tbe animal to death with clubs. Maragrum fainted from shock and loss of blood when released. He waa frightfully disfigured, and may loose tbe fcightof oue eye. The catamount measured oyer five feet ia kDgtb.

DEPo kainit tiy wSmmim-, 31IIK43 Last Monday eveolag crowded pas senger train on the Erie railroad ran Into a freight train near Tioga Junction. About 20 passenger wire injured, some fatally. All the passenger coaches were burned. Tbe problem of tbe "battle of life" has just been solved In a most extraordinary manner by three dames of a certain age sisters to all appearance, and conofurtably endowed with tbis world's goods who re rided la a pleasant villa at Le Yesinet. For some reason hitherto unexplained they were weary of existence, and they deter mided to die together. Tbe three 6lsters having previously provided themselves with a perfect arsenal of revolvers, set fire to their house on Monday morning. They then, In the most methodical manner, bade each other a last farewell, and turned their weapons eeainst themselves. In tw cases the shots were fired with fatal effect two of the sisters falling to the ground mortally wounded. The third inflicted se vere injuries on herself, but hopes of her recovery are entertained. Some passers-by perceiving smoke iesuing fioni the villa, ran in and found tbe two corpses, while tbe third sister was seen lying insensible on the fl.HDr. The Inhabitants seem utterly at a loe to account for this extraordinary trag edgy, which bas naturally caused intense excitement in the neighborhood. The whole thing was manifestly pUnned with delioeration, care being taken to kill a horse and dog, both old favorites. Every Suit we sell is a walk ing advertisement for us.
