TUESDAY BVBWINO, MAY 29, 1883,
The Parpese r a Ttrll.
Senater Bayard and ex-Senater Mc
Donald have been giving their views en
the tariff issue te the editor of the New
Yerk World. They are both in favor of
"tariff for revenue only." Mr. Mc
Donald thought that though ' we may
be some time in reaching a solution of
the question, as the public mind comes
te be enlightened it will net be satisned
with any tariff that has net for its lead
ing purpose the raising of revenue for
the government, nor with the details of
any tariff law in which the duties laid
upon foreign merchandise, shall be above
the revenue paid." "We also think that
it will be some time before the public
mind will demand such a tariff law, and
that in time it will demand it ; but net
because it does net think that the gev.
ernment should protect American man
ufactures when they need it ; it will
reach this demand when it is satisfied
that our manufacturers will flourish
without protection ; as at some day, and
net a distant one, they will.
Senater Bayard, we understand, te
argue that a protective tariff is uncon
stitutional, because the federal con
stitution does net authorize the taking
of private property except for pub
lie use and then net without
compensation. The senator's proposi preposi
tion is net remarkably lucid, but we
gather his idea te be that the taking of
a tax for purposes of revenue is legiti
mate, because the money is for the use
of the government, and that the citizen
gets his compensation for it in the pro
tection the government affords him ;
whereas the levying of a protective tax
is a taking of the people's money for the
benefit of these engaged in the protected
industries, and is, therefore, such a
taking of property for private use as is
unconstitutional.
But the government does net take the
people's money in levying a protective
tax. If the tax is thoroughly protective
the government gels no revenue from it.
It simply prohibits the importation of
the article and forbids the people te use
the foreign commodity. If the tax is
net se high as te forbid importation, the
government gets a revenue from it and
applies that revenue te, the public expen
ditures just as it would a revenue
derived from a tariff levied only for
revenue purposes.
The question in the tariff discussion
is as te whether the government has a
right te lay an embargo en foreign pre
ducts. It has nothing whatever te de
with the issue which we understand
Senater Bayard te presenr.that it is un
constitutional te take property for pri
vate and net for public use. If the
United States cannot constitutionally
prohibit the importation of any article
whose importation its Congress deems
net te be for the public geed, then it
cannot levy a tariff rate which would be
wholly or in part prohibitory of such
importation. It is rather a late date te
raise this constitutional question as te the
authority of Congress. After it has been
exercised since the government's forma
tien, that point may be considered te be
settled. The question of the policy of such
an embargo en foreign manufactures
remains for agitation and will be con
tinued te be agitated until it clearly ap
pears, as it wijl some day, that the prin
cipal manufactures of the country can
prosper better en a free trade than en a
protective policy.
We suppose that the majority of peo
ple will net deny that the United States
should prohibit the importation of slaves
and convicts, lepers and these having
contagious diseases, te say nothing of
Chinese and barbarians. If it may
prohibit objectionable people from
coming into the country it may
forbid the importation of objection
able things, infected clothing and
cattle for instance; and if things object
tienable may be be kept out of the coun
try, these which are objectionable by
reason of their effect upon the country's
industry may by the same logic be exclu
ded. The power clearly exists,as we have
said, te levy protective duties, and the
only point is as te the way of its exercise.
TnE Harrisburg correspondent of the
Pittsburgh Dispatc7i very pertinently
calls attention te the fact that while the
Heuse is disturbing itself and working
up a deal of futile popular excitement
ever measures of secondary importance
or that have no possible chance of pas
sage this session, a number of ether bills
that are of primal consideration and
have gene ever from the Senate te the
Heuse, ready for enactment, are left te
slumber and die. Notable among these
is the bill of Senater Hall te escheat
consolidated competing telegraph lines,
against which measure it is well known
that an active lobby agent has been per
sistently at work. lias it been due te
his influence that this measure has been
held in committee until it obtained se
low a place en the calendar that it can
net be reached ? And what has become
of Senater Humes' bill, requiring that
the millions of state money, new lying
idle in the favored depositories of the
state treasurer or earning interest for
individuals, shall be invested in state or
government securities te make profit for
the state? There id the anti-free pass
bill, tee, which passed long age in the
Senate and is the enactment into law of
a constitutional prohibition with due
penalties for violation of it. What has
become of this salutary measure ? The
members who are responsible for the
neglect te bring these weighty measures
te the front in time te have them passed,
or at least te put members en the record
regarding them, need net expect tees
cape the responsibility of their uegli.
gence or something worse.
Our estimable contemporary, Gen.
"W. "W. H. Davis, of the Doylestown
Democrat, after twenty five years in the
editorial harness, indulges in a very
pardonable and satisfactory review of
his experience and the success which has
attended his efforts at making a credita
ble local newspaper. His journal has
long been recognized as holding a place
in the first rank of the weeklies of this
state and, under his management of it,
it has had that steady growth and im
provement which are tbe inevitable
results of intelligent and well directed
labor and enterprise.
The ancient order of Knights Temp
lar is one that embraces within its
membership se many of the foremost
citizens of this state and of men distin
guished in all the walks of life that its
annual conclave cannot fail te command
the attention even of many who de net
feel any interest in the workings of
the institution. Necessarily the meet
ings of the state cemmandery.attracting
the presence of se many visitors, can be
held only in the leading cities of. the
state, and that our geed town of Lan
caster is dear te the knights may be in
ferred from the fact that they come here
after only six years of an interval since
their last meeting in Lancaster. The
order here has always been strong, and
among its members new are no less
than three who have risen te the emi
nence of grand commander of the state.
That the proverbial hospitality of the
city and its citizens will net be lacking
their visitors, there are abundant signs
already.
TnE Russian czar has been crowned
and still lives ; which is a matter of sur
prise, considering the view that has been
entertained that the czar could net ap
pear te the people without being pelted
with bombs. The coronation reports
represent the exhibition of the usna1
amount of enthusiasm shown upon like
occasions in ether countries ; and though
the reports are probably colored te this
point te secure transmission and are net
reliable indications of the real state of
feeling, yet the fact is apparent that the
coronation took place net only without
public disturbance, but with the exhibi
tion of popular approval. The Nihilists
kept in the back-ground and found no
opportunity in this assemblage of the
people te upset the empire. Evidently
they are net as strong as suspected.
m
The Massachusetts senate has passed a
bill abolishing the prepayment of pel 1 tax
as a prerequisite for voting. Why uet in
Pennsylvania, tee ?
Gen. Drum feels quite certain that
Gen. Creek will net let himself be led
into a trap, and the loyalty of the Indian
soeuts who are with him is, in some
measurei assured by the fact that their
wires and children remain in the custody
of the U. S. authorities as hostages.
One of these blunder, which Itichard
Grant White has elassified as attributable
te " heteorephomy " led te the error in
our columns last night thtJt Judge Shars Shars Shars
woed had been the Democratic candidate
for governor in 18G3. Of course that was
a mistake. Judge Woodward was the
candidate.
In tbe Republican caucus at Harrisburg
last evening a senator cited the Republi
can majority tbat Montgomery county
had given once .
Cooper. " but that
" Yes," explained
was when we weic
building the insane asylum at Norristewu
and had 500 imported Republicans at
work there." An honest confession is
geed even for Cooper's soul.
TnE Republicans had another caucus
of their state senators last night aud fail
cd te come te any conclusion upon a con
gressional apportionment, Stewart and
Lee standing out against the McCraeken
gerrymander. The Democrats need no
better issue upon which te go into the
next Btate campaign than the determined
effort of the Stalwarts te pass this thiev
ing measure.
The Bullitt bill, for providing Philadel
phia city with a new scheme of govern
ment, has finally failed in the Heuse and
will net become a law. The active sup
pert of it by the Republican boss politi
cians, made Democrats generally distrust
ful of it as a plan te contralize and conseli
date power in the city government in such
a way that it would be dangerously
subject te cress abuse by the dominant
party there.
The informer has his reward. Farrell,
one of the informers in the trials of Phee
nix Park murderers, has received 1000
from the English government, and Mich
ael Xavanagb, the carmau, another in
former, 250. They have both quitted
the country. Jamas Carey, the informer
and his brother Peter will receive small
sums for their services. Nevertheless the
popularity of their avocation ha3 net been
enhanced in Ireland.
Colerado, a bran new state, seems te
be no better than hoary Massachusetts. A
legislative committee has leund the peni
tentiary Bystcm out there te be se cruel
that the application of it often results in
insanity. "The hose bath has been the
favorite method of punishment. Victims
are tied te a pest and a stream of cold
water from a half inch nozzle at fifty
pounds pressure thrown into their faces
for half an hour at a time, with only short
intermissions te prevent their becoming
insensible."
The Press has a beat en the Times to
day in the announcement that its late
the Times' correspondent, Je. Heward,
recently weu $500 from a three card monte
man. But neither paper has yet printed
the " exclusive" news that the Times'1
correspondent, Geerge Alfred Townsend,
was recently hammered by a brother e f
tbe actress whom he accused of being tee
intimate with the Press correspondent,
Je. Heward. The competition of progres
sive journalism in Philadelphia should

Murder and Suicide A Bey Lever' Yen.
Seance ob Hit Krral Three
Lives Lest.
St. Leuis Dispatch te Times.
There was a 'double murder and suicide
yesterday at Cedar Hill, a little town en
the river bank just 25 miles below St.
Leuis. Araiel Deurentz, 23 years of age,
had for some time been acquainted with
Martha McDaniel, a young lady who lived
in the vicinity of Cedar Hill Catholic
church. Martha had another suitor, how
ever, Hiram Snellines, a boy of 19, who
frequently visited her and seemed te be
deeply smitten with her charms. The
boys were apparently friends, notwith
standing the fact that both loved the
same girl. Martha had a sister, whom
both young men knew. On last Sunday
week Deurentz and Suellines, the mur
dered man and the murderer, accompanied
the two young ladies home from high
mass and the quartette seemed te be en
the most friendly terms imaginable. It
was an open secret, however, among these
who knew the facts that Deurentz
and Suellines were both Tsmitten
with Martha and that the ether sister had
no charmB for either of them. In the
walk Martha chese te walk home with
Deurentz and Suellines followed with her
sister. Frem expressions that Suellines
was afterwards heard te utter it was plain
that be was much piqued at the young
lady's preference, but nobody who knew
him expected such a terrible ending te the
love affair.
The Asaaseln Lying In Walt.
Yesterday morning Miss McDaniel at
tended the Catholic church at Cedar Hill,
where she assisted at high mass.
Deurentz was also present, although it is
'thought the girl went te church unat
tended. If Suellines was at the church,
few people saw him, and it is probable
that, having arranged his murderous plan,
he kept in hiding while the Sunday ser
vice was in progress. When mass was
ever Miss Martha came out. When she
was next noticed young Deurentz was at
her side. The ceuple chatted pleasantly
with seme friends and appeared as happy
and unconccrned as any levers could be.
After a short walk they started off in the
direction of the young lady's home. The
worshipers' had scattered in different
directions and Martha and her lever were
walking by- themselves across the fields,
when suddenly Suellines confronted them.
He had a deuble-barreled shotgun in his
hands, and jfreni his appearance it was
evident he meant mischief. The girl
stepped involuntarily, but her companion
advanced a step. He did net seem te fear
that his friend meant te de him harm.
As he came up te them Suellines cried
out :
"Amiel, have you get your revolver
about you?" At this Miss McDaniel
screamed and young Deurentz stepped
forward, with hands upraised, as if te im
plore his assailant te have mercy. He
bad no time te speak for the murderer
was tee quick.
Tne Tragedy In the Field.
Without waiting for an answer Suellines
cocked his gun and bringing it te his
shoulder, fired, the full charge of buck
shot taking effect in the breast of his
victim, just ever the heart. Ducrentz fell
immediatciy and the supposition is that
his death was instantaneous. As quick as
he could the murderer cocked his weapon
agaiu and lircd at the young lady, inflict
ing injuries that are known te be severe
and that were reported at neon te be
fatal. Suellines immediately started
away en a run. After about half a mile
from the scene of the murder he stepped,
leaded both barrels of the gun with a
heavy charge, cocked both hammers and
with a forked stick, which he had picked
up by the roadside, fired both charges at
ouce into his body and fell a corpse.
When found he was dead and the shotgun
and the forked stick lay across the corpse.
The body of young Deurentz was brought
up te Citrondelet te the residence of his
sister, Mrs. Voght, who lives near the
Jupiier fnrnace.
When a reporter visited the home the
body was surrounded by the aged father
and mother, the sister and ether relatives.
The parents and relations were utterly
prostrated with grief ever the tragic
death of the boy. Arrangements have
been made and the funeral will take place
te-morrow.

Week Ending Saturday, May 2G,
10 A. M. )
U. s. Tobacco Journal.
Seed Leaf Notwithstanding the in
tervening holiday of Thursday, the
transactions in our market feet up te a
respectable size. Contrary te general
expectations, the large sales of '82 Penn
sylvania did net bring large manufacturers
into line for an uproarious onslaught upon
this crop. These manufacturers have
grown very eautieus. They no longer
put in stocks te last for a season, nor does
the action of one in reference te leaf
purchases incite the ether te imitation.
The market is se acommedating, se full of
all kinds of tobacco, that only after in
spections, often lasting for days 'and
weeks, exhausting the patience of sellers,
they (the manfacturers) make invest
ments ; and even then in limited quanti
ties only.
At present most of the important buyers
are holding back till the new Sumatra
comes in. In a flew days considerable
shipments will be unleaded and then,
when prices for the same can reasonably
be established, the fnture of all of the '32
crops can be judged. If this Sumatra
proves in general light and ragged, and if
much higher prices are asked, our seed
leaf tobacco will stand en a solid basis ;
if, en the contrary, the tobacco is dark
and sound and prices ceme within theso
prevailing for old, seed leaf will have a
dragging, profitless time ahead.
Among all the tobaccos of '82 growth
Pennsylvania stands the best chances of
realizing a profit for investors.even should
the new Sumatra prove adapted te the
market. In the purchase of this tobacco
packers exercised caution and geed judg
meat. Fine as a great deal of '82 Cen
necticut is,it was bought- te a great extent
heedlessly. Te get prices which will leave
a profit will preve a most difficult task.
Fer expert no public transaction was
made. The rush of last week for Wiscon
sin has subsided. Exporters claim that
theso samples were as samples merely,
and that further large purchases depend
upon reports from abroad .
The sales of the week were as fellows :

400 consisted of one packing, balance of

in cigar leaf can be claimed this week,

The Lecal Tobacco Market.
There is nothing peculiar or important
te mark last week s operations. About
400 cases of old tobacco were suld en pri
vate terms, th9 crop of '80 being preferred
te '81 and selling at rather better figures.
Helders of '82 profess te think that they
have a bonanza and talk confidently of the
excellence of the crop which, earlier in the
season, was se vehemently talked down.
The very small quantity yet remaining in
the hands of growers is being sought by
buyers. A few geed lets are te be had,
but most of it is of low grade and sells at
low prices, but it is needed te fill out the
demand for fillers and binders.
Here are a few late sale, as samples of
the ruling prices : Jehn M. Lutz, of
Crcsswell, sold ten acres te O. Kauffman,
for 15. 3 and 2 ; Albert Yest, of West
Earl, 3,300 pounds te.C. H. Herr, for 8$
through ; Abram Steltzfus, of Meohanics Meehanics
burg, 4 acres at 11, 4, 2 ; Geerge Caulsen,
of Drumere, 1 acre te Dan Mayer, at 9, 3,
2 ; Eber Rsese, of Strasburg, 6 acres,
hail cut, at 8, 4, 2 ; J. Redsecker, of Salis
bury, 3 acres at 10, 4, 2 ; A. B. "Hen-, of
Mechanicsburg, 3 acres at 13, 4, 2 ;
Gideon Lapp, of Gordonville, 2 acres at 9,
2, 2 ; Ames L. Erb, 1 acre at 8, 4, 2 ;
Daniel Zerphey, West Denegal, 1 acre at
10, 2 ; Henry Jehns, of Maner, 1 acre at
15,9,4 2..
The crop of '82 has been as closely
bought up perhaps, as any preceding one
at this time of the year, and if the crop
were much larger there is no doubt it
would all be taken at prevailing prices.
The scare that Sumatra tobacco would
largely take the place of Pennsylvania
leaf for wrappers is about ended. The
smoking quality of tin Oriental leaf is se
inferior that it can never compete with
the fragrant leaf of Havana, Pennsylvania
or Connecticut tobacco. Its only merit
consists in its dark glossy surface and its
light weight the latter quality enabling
maoufactuiers te cover a much et eater
number of cigars with a pound of Sumatra
than with a pound of Pennsylvania. Said
a shrewd tobacco dealer te a representa
tive of the Intelligencer: "Had it net
been for the inferior quality and tbe par
tial failure of the American seed leaf
crops, Sumatra tobacco would net have
been heard of in this country ; and, with
two successive crops ax geed as that of
'82 Pennsylvania, the demand .for Suma
tra will end." True, some of the "dudes"
who reveled in cigarettes as long as they
were fasbianable, new effect a liking for
Sumatra, but connoisseurs of judgment
and experience discard it as worthless.
Thore seems te be no geed reason why
the planting of 1883 in this and adjoining
counties should net be as large or larger
than in former years. True, the prices
received for the '82 crop were net as large
as the farmers expected, but what ether
crop can they substitute that will pay as
well? Certainly net corn, wheat, eats,
potatoes or hay. Any considerable in
crease in the acreage of these staples,
which are grown iu almost all the states of
the Union, materially reduces their price,
and renders their cultivation unprofitable
in a region like ours where land is se high
priced. Our soil is peculiarly adapted te
the growth of tobacco the cultivation of
whieh has done mere than anything else
te enrieh our fanners and make our county,
the most wealthy agricultural one in the
state, and in the Union. There is no
reason, therefore, why the crop of 18S3
should net be as large or larger than any
that has preceded it. The increase of the
population of the country is in greater
ratio than the increase of our acreage of
tobacco. There is no mere probability of
the market being overstocked than there
is of our fine leaf being supplanted by the
flimsy stuff from Sumatra or the coarse
and heavy leaf from Virginia and Ken
tucky. Ours is the favorite leaf for
cigars, and farmers need net be afraid te
grew it if they select geed seed, geed soil,
give it thorough cultivation and " handle it
carefully.
But little can be said as yet of the crop
of 1883. The exceptionally backward
Spring has retarded the growth et the
plants, and prevented as yet any general
setting out of them. Fer a few days past,
the weather has warmed up a little, and
some planters who prepared their ground
early, and had plants grown under glass
or canvas, have set them out ; but net
one tenth perhaps net one fiftieth of
the coming crop has yet been set. The
ensuing two or three weeks will be busy
ones with tobacco farmers. May they be
richly rewarded for their labor.
