This alone prevented a clear, Impartial and in telligent discussion as to the best means of tax reduction.

AJXJ X A titli It Is a queer life this life In a great city; to reside for years next door to a man and know no more about him than If he Hyed in Kamichatka or the Himalaya. Of course thU sort of thing has its advantages, but it also has Its sstbacks, and just now I am re minded of a number ot cases which haye fallen under my observation in the past few years, On tbe opposite side of the block from me lived a very nice gentleman and his family, a wife and three children, and a most admirable family they wore. As I sat at ay desk writing, day after day, I could see my neighbor at some work In his back room, though a light gauze curtain prevented me seeing the nature of It I had uo particular cause for concealment myself, ao In summer time my windows were wide open, and the backs of both our houses looked out on pleasant little gardens. As Shakespeare remarks, "Not as deep as a well nor aa wide as a church door, but sough." Jlfy neighbor's wife was a most exemplary woman, and her children were model of good behavior. She was quite active In church work and gave liberally to the poor. About this time the United States Secret Service was considerably ex- erclsed oyer the appearance of a counter- ftt TTnlttul fiitiH ftinnnt. The work waa iimitiMntni . Ttr a fac simile of that used by the United States. The engraving ot the plates and the printing was then dene by the American Bank Note Com- panv.

They lived most pcnurlously, keeping a girl, whom they nearly starved to death. At last they both hecamo so weak that it became necessaryto get further as- slstance. A stout young Irishman was en- hraced, and ho acted as a sort of major domo. Then tho elder sister died; after thai tho younger, who was about seventy, seemed to grow stingier than oyer.

But it Is no use talking; there is no act of Congress against men making fools ot themselves. Wood don't eare, for tho presumption Is that Wood Is now clay. It lias been a week of abasement and humiliation. Jany prominent people have been called before the Fassett Com mltteo, and the exhibition there made has filled us all with shame and sorrow.

Up to this time It was the organization of clubs and preparation for the practical work that Is at hand, The first big turnout was the great tariff reform demonstration ot Raturday evening. This meeting was held right In the heart of tho great Republican textile district of Philadelphia. During the past It would has- been worth a Democrat's llfo to openly advocate Ins party's claims In this section. This la all changed now, as Saturday night's demonstra tion testifies. Over 10,ooo textile workers wen present to attest their Interest and concern tho groat question nnd principles that will bo tho means ot producing part of that emancipa tion for which these Ill-paid and oppressed toll ers aro struggling. The Interest they manifest- ej. tho earnest enthusiasm contributed, and the scoring oi every applicable point applauded, plainly shows the bent of their purpose, which clearly Indicates a largo Increaso In tho Demo- "" "ri'uuut.m ucn tit t inland- Il'hla.

McCullough was good fellow, but Independent In characteristics, His wife,wltlian nbomlnai motlier-ln-lawtlirow in, wanted to lulo the roost, but John would not have It thus and as a consequence a multitude of troubles, liut the great mistake he mado was In signing over to his wife's control $30,000 worth of bonds, Valuables, etc., at a time when they were on yum, yum, terms. No sooner did he do this than tho mother-in-law stepped In and Mc Cullough had to step out, Theso vexatious cir cumstances and things preyed upon his mind until he committed tho rash act. The letter ot Charles 8. Lltchman, assistant general secretary of tho K. of L. to lloss Quay, offering his services to take the stump for tho Republican monopoly party has caused a tre mendous feeling ot bitterness against him among tho Knights. The result Is ho has been forcrd to resign. Binco this suicidal step on his part he has been denounced by official action and openly by authoritative bodies of Knights of Labor As semblies and Individual members. Tho fact the case Is that the great body ot theso people are against monopoly protection as typified by the party of thus rs which Maine claims are prl vato property with which President Cleveland has nothing whatever to do. Lltchman Is being openly repudiated and charged with having sold his influence for a "pot ot mess." lie this as may, he at all events transgressed tbe require ments of his osltlon and as a consequence outside ot the pale ot fellowship. The Influence of Litchman's move Is not of much account, be cause he not oi er three months ago, In Knights ofj-abor Assemblies, declared thatthe tariff had nothing to do with either raising or depressing wages. That It the tariff were like a Chinese wall the monopolists would absorb all the bene fit of nny artificial advantage. In view of his later course, the charge that he lold his influ ence to Quay is susceptible ot demonstration, He this as It may, he lias ouly looked out for an other employer, The Pennsylvania State Fair was opened 011 Monday with a very largo attendance ot sight- setrs.

Phlla Times. William Scott will not take tho Demo cratic nomination for Congress in his dis trict, this year. If this Is notice that he is out of politics tho Democratic party will lose an Indefatigable worker and a fearless advocate. The votco of old Berks shouted! "Aro you there, Ermcntrout?" And when tho echo came back, "I am," tho voico went out again: "Stay there!" And Ermentiout will slay. Press. K. Y. Sun. Tho comparison of Blalno With Burchard is decidedly premature. ICliatoyer short comings may bo Blalno's ho is not a fool, or a dupe, or a man to go back upon his friends. In tho heat of tho Presidential campaign of four years ago it was remarked that tho Republican party had not taken their candldato from the cradle or tho grave. The inference, of course, was that ho was no child, no fossil. Tho lnfcrenco was warranted, and It Is just as true to-day. OPEN TO EYEltYBUDY. DOES rnOTKCTION ritOTECT? EniTon or the Advocate: 'On ac count of an Inborn sympathy with tho wago worker and because I feel that my pros perity is dependant upon ills prosperity, 1 am heartily In favor of any legislation that increases wages. If Protection Increases wages then I am an out and out Protection 1st, first, last, and all the time. But surely tho most ardent Protectionist cannot but approve if 1 stop first to mako euro that Protection does really raise wages. Let us understand clearly In tho first place, by what process Protection claims to raiso wages. It levies a duty of about 40 per cent at pres' cnt, on Imports thus Increasing tho cost of foreign mado goods. Tho ptitposo of this, It Is said, is to enable homo Industries' to compete, with the foreign, that is to say, to enable tho homo manufacturer to get f higher prico for his product than ho other wise could. Tiio homo manufacturer is of course not slow to tako advantage ol this opportunity. Thus tho tariff increases tho cost of both fotclgU and domestic products. Somo oycr-zealous Protectionists deny this Put they should not do so, because no mat. ter how good a thing protection is, it wll shako people's faith in it to deny that It ac complishes the very tiling for which it is Intended. If tho tariff don't raiso prices what is it good for? If the homo producer can and does sell as cheap as tho foreigner, ho needs no tariff and cares for none, except as a means of raising icvenue. But to fol low the operation of the high tariff a step further after it lias enabled our manufac turers to charge moro for his goods and thus obtain a larger profit, they can and do, wo aro told, pay their employes higher wagesT Hero then we liayo tho connection between high tariff and high wages. High tariff makes high prices, high prices bring largo profits, largo profits allow high wages. IIow simpio it is, any ono ought to.be able to understand that. But thero is ono llttlo hitch in the matter that many peoplo find It hard to get over. Tho employer, llko the good business man th'at he is, docs not go running around trying as hard as he can to spend all tho money ho makes. IIo tries to get everything as cheap as ho can, yes, oyon his help, wo all do it, wc don't pay man a dollar and a half a day if we can get ono just as good for a dollar. This Is hu man naturo and a man cannot bo blamed for it, if he gets his help as choap as ho can. Many peoplo wpuld say ho would be a blamed fool if he didn't. So then we can't depend on It as a rulo that the manu facturers will out of gratitude and beneyo- lenco glvo any of their increase of profits to their employees in tho form of Increased wages. And not only do wo find it against reason to except it, but In actual fact wo find that they do not. What do these con stant importations' of contract labor, In do- fience of the law, indicate? Ti'hy aro there so many strikes and lock outs? Why is there such a continual turnmoil In tho In ( ustrlal world? Why do laboring men strike anyhow? If their wages are not high enough now, wouldn't an Increaso of tariff raiso them? The fact that In the faco of all onr labor troubles no one thinks of at least doubling tho tariff almost causes ono to suspect that no ono really believes in Protection anyhow. But we must not al low ourselves to be carried away by invidi ous suspicions. Let us pursue our invest! gatlons. Thero is another slight kink In tho Protectionists little chain of logic which sbme people will stick at, they say that largo profit 8 would naturally attract a good deal of capital and labor Into a protected Industry and that but for Trusts, and Pools, and Itlngs of various kinds, competition among our own producers would soon bring tho prices down to whero they would bo without the tariff. Indeed it seems that our earlier Protectionists believed such would bo the case, and that our "Infant In dustrlos" would after a time outgrow all need for protection. But theso things seem to be hard to understand and Wo find the original protectionists wcro mistaken that "infant industry" business waa all "bosh." It is labor that lias to be protected aud that no matter whether In an old or a now in' dtistry. Those old fellows thirty years ago actually stumbled into a good thing. They didn't know they wcro going to protect labor. They thought thoy were going to protect capital. They wanted to protect Infant Industries and draw capital into them until they could compete with all the world but hero they find thoy have hit upon some thing to protect labor. Iteally, I must say, it hardly looks reasonable to claim Ibatyou can raise wages by a scheme that was In vented for an entirely different purpose and which seems to fasten Kings, Pools, Ti lists and all kinds ot monopolies and which con fessedly depends for Its successful working upon the liopo that a powerful net of people will be good and kind enough to do what they cannot bo compelled to do, and what it Is directly contrary to their financial In tel est to do. You want to raise wages by a schemo Invented to protect capital nnd used to tills day,Inmost Kuropean countries for that purpose where, strange to say.lt fails to raise wages aa you claim It does here. You want to raise wages by a schemo that fastens Monopolies, Itlngs, Pools, and Trusts, for theso ceittlnly would be much harder to form and keep up and would be much less efficacious It they had the com petition of the world to fight instead of that only of a few large producers In our want to raiso wages by I U't worit unless poop,,, 1 z ...... .1.1-1. ascnuiuu tvuii-u woiri wont unless hButiVn will give motxs than thoy must for ,i,nir i.nlh wl,nn xbj. nil l.nw.
