Cause «the recent democratic victories have called a halt in that system of steals, nf A —— The Tariff Question—a subject much talked about, says the American Register, but little underetood in its de tails and actual operations by the public generally. A revenue tariff, a protective tariff, and free trade are matters dippant- ly spoken off with but little accuracy of comprehension of the actual differences between them, and their respective ef foots. The tarifl, is as understood in this pry, is a system of revenue for the apport of the General Government, de ved from duties or imposts on foreign imports or goods of foreign produetion. A tariff for revenue only is that system 0! custom duties which excludes all discrim- inations as to the amount of the duties imposed upon the different articles of jmport, except such as have exclusive reference to the amount of revenue fo be raised. A protective tariff sa system of imposts levied on foreign goods with a view of raising their prices, and there- by preventing their being sold lower than the home products. A revenue tariff with incidental protection is that wystem of customs revenue which, white the duties are imposed for the exclusive purpose of raising revenue to support the Government, discriminates and 18 adjost od as to the amount imposed on differ ent articles with reference to equality of the public burdens and the encourage ment and protection of articles of domes tic prodaction. Free trade requires the shandonment of tarill duties on foreign imports, and the support of the General Government by a system of direct taxa- tion. These brief detintiions tend to ac- curacy of understanding of the differ ences between tuese several forms of raising revenue to support the General Government: Free trade has many attractions, and should be encouraged as far as practica ble consistency with the support of the Federal Government by a tariff system, adjusted strictly with reference to equal- ity in the public burdens and equal jus fice to all. But thie people of this coun- try are opposed to a system of direct taxation for the support of the General Government. The direct taxation im- posed for the support of the State, coun ty, and city governments, and for school and the poor purposes, &c., are burden- some and as much as the people can bear. The foreign producer and impor ter of foreign goods would prefer free trade, but there is not a county, certainly pot a State, in the Union, in which the people are not opposed to direct taxation for the support of the Federal Govern- mint. The theoretical free-trade men of Democratic petty would, therefofe, de. feat their own pariy;-ead eGoticue in power the advocates of a high protective tariff for the sake of an abstract political oo A protective tariff is for the henefit of a few at the expense of the many. It cre- ates monopolies and inequalities in the public burdens, and enriches the few at the expense of the many—makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. No wise statesman would advocate such a system. A tanff for revenue only, with inciden~ tal encouragement or protection to home industry, is the revenue system for the support of the Federal Government which the people of this country are in avor of; that is, a revenue tariff levied, and adjusted, in its detidils, with strict reference to equality in the public bur- dens, and the protection or encourage- ment of home productive industry as far practicable, without creating monopolies or affording unjust advantages to one part of the people at the expense of the other. On this subject General Jackson, in his first inaugural address, said: «With regard to a proper selection of the subjects of impost with a view to rev- enue, it would seem to me, that the spirit of equity, caution and compromise, in which the Constitution was formed, re- quires that the great interests of agricul- ture, commerce and manufactures, should be equally favored, and that perhaps the only exception to this rule should con- sist in the peculiar encouragement of any products or either of them that may be found essential to our national indepen- dence.” f tl A mm Benator Beck has offered a resolution fo investigate Hubbell and his blackmail fund.

It says: How beautiful, hew nnaffected, how altogeth. er pure and lovely is the penitence of a man who is so near death that he has not the least reason to cherish the sins that have been his lifelong darlings! These reflections are suggested by the sudden interest exhibited by certain re publican Representatives in Congress in civil servive reform, When Mr, Kasson yesterday offered a resolution direoting Civil Service Reform Committee to re port a bill at once Mr, Kasson declared that the whole House was in fayor of evil service reform. If one had risen from the dead there conld not have been greater surprise throughout the country, for among the desires of Mr. Hiscock’s heart civil service reform has never been imagined to bave even au unconspisnous place, Other republican Congressmen have been heard, in hotel lobbies and cloak rooms, to express sentiments simi- lar to that with whioh Mz. Hiscock paral yzod the House. Probably they all would say as Mr. Hiscock did, that the only dif ferences of opinion on the subject of civil service reform were as to method, At any other time this explanation would be received with jeers, for itis the usual ex- ouse of men who want to work all kinds of sly mischief yet appear well in the eves of their follow men. Even now it does not mean anything, but in consider. ing the remarks of such personsthe pub. lic should recall the case of the hardened old sinner who, straying into a Metho- dist church, was frightened to death and then converted. He arose to explain that he was a ohaoged man, but his tongue wis so unacoustomed to decent janguage that he discharged within two or three minutes the most dreadful as- sortment of slang and profanity that had ever been heard inside of sanctified walls, Republican desire for civil service re- form seems at last to be genuine; if it is not it ought to be, for it is one of the few indications of penitence that are possible to the party at this late hour, i ————— - The Morning Patriot has exposed a grave-yard horror at Harrisburg. In the free colored cemetery in the suburbs there are at least four layers of dead. fhe dead are only pardally buried. Many are uncoffined, and dogs have been feasting on the remains for many years, portions of bodies being dragged to neighboring farmhouses, : i Attorgey General Brewster estimates that the Star Route thieves stole $4,000, 000 instead of $1,500,000, as commonly reported. This stealage was accomplish- ed during the last four years of Star Route ring operations. The aggregate stealuge of ten years is not known, - ph an Dorsey says it cost $400,000 to Carry Iudiana in the campaign of 1880, and he kaows, an/ that it required four times that amount fp carry New York which was over one mi\ion and a half, about which Arthur has full knowledge. Let the books of the National Republi can Committee be opéned. Dorsey is Secrelary and proposes to tell a great deal, as well as Brady, unless there is some let-up. ROR THE PENITENTIARY FO 8L1AR ROUTERS, The star-roate thieves, the most impu. dent of all the goverzment thieves, stand a big chance to have the penitentiary for their Chrisumasgift. A telegram dated Washington 7 says: Judge Wylie brought the defendents and their counsel in the Star route cases up standing to-day when he over-ruled all motions for delay or seperate trials, Mr. Ingersoll asked leave to file a paper charging JoGge—Wyne-With prejudice and setting forth that the defendents could not have a fair trial belore him, which brought out the judge, who pro- nounced it an insult to the courtand Mr, Merrick who characterized the paper as insulting, scandalous and mendacious. Mr. Bliss stated that when ia the Tweed case counsel for the defense sought to file a paper attacking the court he was committed for contempt. Judge Wylie decided to let the paper be filed but would hear nothing from the counsel for the defense in its support. An attempt was made to delay the trial on account of the alleged illness and loss of vision of Dorsey but failed, although Drs, Bliss, Marmion and others were all in court to assert that it would be dangerous for “Steve” to go to trial. Mr. Merrick ex- pressed the opinion that a man who wouid on Friday put forth a paper con- taining a vigorous attack on the govern~ ment ought to be abie to go to trial on the following Monday. The impression pre- vails that the government is determined to convict if possible, and that Brady, Dorsey and the others will be railroaded to the penitentiary. esis a THE PRESIDFNT'S RECOMMENDA. TIONS AND HOW THEY WERE RECEIVED—A SMILE THAT WENT ROUND. The President makes the following recommendations to Congress in his Message: 1st—To stop the coinage of silver dol- lars, retire the silver certificates. 2nd.—To repeal enough taxes to abol- ish the monstrosity of a surplus revenne. 3rd.—To do this by repealing all the internal taxes except those relating to spirits and reforming the fariff by ad- ding largely to the free list and a simpli- ficution of the duties on cotton goods iron and steel, with a substantial reduc- tion of the duties on those articles and on sugar, molasses, silk, wool and woolen goods. éth.—To pass no river aud harbor bill ab this session, 5th.—To take measures to replace our present cruising vessels by iron or steel ships, the monitors by modern armed vessels and the naval armament by high power rifled guns. 6th, —To reduce letter postage to two cents, 7th.—To pass a bankrupt law. 8th.—To pass laws preserving the tim- ber lands owned by the goverment. 9th.—To pass a law prohibiting the levying of political assessments. 10ta~To enact laws for the better management of the civil service of the federal government, The Message was rather coldly receiv- ed by the republicans in the House, who seemed to regard it as a lecture upon the fmisdeeds of the last session, which, in act, it is, for almost all the recommenda- tions now made were made last decem- ber, and were laughed at es ridiculously virtuous by the men who acted under the leadership of Mr. Robeson, Mr, Page and the Speaker. Oddly enough it oc- curred to some republicans to-day to speak of (he Message as a “half-bresd document.” The most sensible men of both sides, however, speak very highly of it as a document of unusual merit and R THE ¥ A LAUGH OR TWO IN THE ROUSE. The House enjoyed several scenes tho first day. A smile went aronnd when it was parceived that the Speaker, faithful to his friend and oreator, Mr, Robeson, had quietly arranged to place that de. feated worthy at the head of the commit. tee to wait on the President and tell him the House was ready for business, It was remarked that Mr. Keifer possessed the rare virtue of gratitude, Mr. Hiscoek, chairman of the Appro- priations Committee, also raised a laugh by hurrying to his feet ss soon as the Hotse was ready for business, and offer ing a resolution to relieve the Civil Ser vice Reform Committee of the further consideration of two bills—one forbid: ding political assessments, the other con- corning competitive examinations ~and turning these bills over to the Appropri- ations Committe with instructions to have thom inelnded on the regular ap- propriation bills. In making this motion Mr. Hiscock violated one of the soundest rales of the House, which forbids gener al legislation on appropriation bills, Mr. Kassson urged that the Civil Service Committee was ready to report, and the House finally instructed the committee to report atan early day fixed, the word “instruct” being substituted on Mr. Hew. it's motion for the doubtful phrase “have leave to report” in Mr, Kasson's motion. The Speaker had placed on his table a large anchor of immortelles—such an object as is usually scen at fanerais— and Mr. Cox raised a laugh by calling at- tention to the appropriatness of this ab- surd floral device, ps GRAVEYARD GHOULS. Hundreds of Corpses Stolen for Jef- Jerson Medical College. Philadelphia, December, 5, —Frank Mes Namee, “Dutch” Pillet, and Levi Chew, the latter colored, were arrested last night while driving a wagon contains ing a six dead bodies to a medical col lege. The bodies had been stolen from the Lebanon Cemetery in the lower part of the city, Two more arrests were made this morning, when a detective visited the cemetery and arrested Robort Chew, its Superintendent, and Andrew Mullen. Four of the six bodies bave been identi fied. For at least the last twenly years, as far as asoariainable at this time, Lebanon Cemetery has been the source of whole sale traffie in human bedies. Hundreds and hundreds of corpses have been carried thence to the dissecting tables, where Jef terson’s students might hack at them. It is no exaggeration to state that the bodies that have been stolen far outnumber those that have been permitted to remain. John Mayer was the first to engage in the business. He was succeeded by a negro known by some by the name of Levy and to others as “Charcoal” or Frank Me: Namee, present messenger of the Phila delpbiz and Atlantic express, proprietor of the Bryn Mawr bagage express, a pub lic carter, a dealer in rags, having bis sta. ble and office on 924 Sansom street, and minor Republican politician of the Eighth ward. Great wealth, brought him by dealing in bodies of the departed, has giv en him even higher positions, and he is now also a contractor employed by the Government at a large yearly expendi: ture to carry United States mails to and from Newton Square postofiice, Lebanon Cemetery is a favorite burying place for colored people. Long before the hour set for the hearing this evening crowds of colored people blockaded Bevs enth street Records of burials at the cemotery showed in two months 65 bodies wera burs jed in one grave. This statement created a sensation smong the audience. Upon the conclusion of the testimony defendants were committed in defauit of $5,000 for a farther hearing on Friday. As -#00n as the crowd outside the mmagistrate’s office learned the _exsfination was over, an overwhoiming rush was made for the en try and gateway, with threats to lynch the prisoners. A sergeant and ten men of the reserve were sent for. The “snatchers” were then brought out. The crowd made another rush and men and women struck at the prisoners who cowered before them. Policemen drew their clubs and a trot went down Chestnut street to the Central Station, where the prisoners were locked up for the night. » ollie Wr ARABI'S FUTURE ABODE London, December, 5.— Arabi Pasha writes he would prefer to live in Damas cus, or if that is impossible, in London.

THE ORIGIN OF THE CAMPAIGN ROOSTER {Pittsburg Post.] Away back in the forties, we believe a- bout 1844, so runs the story, the Democrat. jc organ in Indiana was conducted by Bird B. Chapman, a politician of some repute. It was & season of political activity, and the Democrats were rather despondent, at the tide seemed against them, Al some local election preliminary to the general election in the State, the Democrats unex- pectedly scooped the Whigs, and a letter from an active Democrat communicating the views lo the editor, began with the in junetion:}*Crow, Chapman, crow.”! Sure enough, Chapman did crow, and using these words asa head line in his next day's edition first introduced the Demo eratic rooster as the harbinger of victory The idea wasa taking one, and the symbol was quickly accepted und csme into general use at least when the Demoeruts gained something to crow over. - eo». m— Mrs Hannah E.

The “Pitlsburg Post” asks: How the Ren publicans of this much protected city and Sate would hive howled “Free Trade,” “Pauper Labor,” and “British gold,” if any Democrat, holding a high position, had in an official communication characs tarized the present Tariff and recommend- od such reductions in the rates of duties as doze President Arthur, In the first place “ro re hess RUA NIRA YB he objects to cutting off more than ones half the internal revenue baoause such ne. tion would prove “a serious if not insure mountable obstacle to any considerable reduction on import duties. Then aller oharacterizing the existing Tari! as “un just and anfair,” he urgently recommends not only “a thorough revision’ but "a substantial reduction’ in the high protees tive duties on iron and steel and the mans ufactures thereof, on cotton goods, on wool and woolen goods, on sugar, mola sos and sitk, These cover the staple man. ufnctures of the country which have beon builtiup to a high degree of prosperity by the protective system. What the Presi dent means by a “substantial reduction’ can hardly be stated in, figures, but the dictionary meaning is a “real, solid and trua’ reduction And President Arthur's Secretary of the Treasury, discussing the question at greater length, takes the same position, getting in this sly drive at th witnesses before the Tariff Commission “In reading the testimony before th Tariff Commission it is to be observed tha with scarcely an exception the representa: tive of every industry, while conceding that a general reduction of the tariff | proper and necessary, has claimed that i peculiar product can submit to no reduce tion of the protection now afforded While the views of the manufacturers are to be weighed, it is manifest that they will never be able to agree upon a reduc tion of the tariff duties.” That was about the way of it.

The Post will impartially relate its progress in is news department, and frankly discuss the leading features editorially, applying in all instances the test of Democratic princi ples and maintaining fidelity te the pledg- os the Democracy has made to the people, There is a Democratic revival through out the length and breadth of the land All Democrats desire it shall be perma pent, that in 1884 we may barvest full fruits of fidelity to priociple and party. There are fears it may not be so, and we may stumble by the wayside. An nonest discussion of partly policy, davger signals whenever and wherever they are called for, and the maintenance of the organizas tion in its party, free from all attempts al bossing or abuse, seem to be the one way to carry us safely over the quick-sand and danger that follow great succession. This is the duty of the Democratic press, and The Post will be no laggard in meeting it fearlessly and justly The Cmomonwealth with the new year, for the first time in a quarter of a century, calls a Democrat to its Chief Magistrate and places the popular legislative branch under Democratic control. The Post’ will give an earnest support to Governer Pattison’s administration, and especially to those measures of retrenchment and re- form, through which our hold on the State government can be made lasting The first half of the new year will witness a radical revolution at Harrisburg The “Post’’ will aim to be its Democratic bis torian.
