5?J?wt" h'S LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCE!?, MONDAY, FEBKUAKY 25, 1881, 'v c ', n V A P." ( tr.i lancastet JntelUgenccr. MONDAY BVENINO, FED. 20, 1804 Iren Makers and the Tariff. Tbe iron manufacturer?, or ratlier a delegation of prominent makers, have been before tbe congressional committee te pretest against the Morrison tnrlli bill ; and a printed pretest Is circulating among the manufacturers which will doubtless recolve the signatures of nearly all. A bill proposing a tariff reduction Is like a red flag waved in the average iron manufacturer's face. He has be lentr been used te contemplato high tariff en Iren as the palladium of his Industry, that he has net the slightest conception that the world moves, and that the tariff Is net se much of a palladium as it ence was. If it was net for this long continued habit of thought it would be necessary te set the Iren manufacturers down as feels, who pretest that n high tariff Is all that their Industry needs te make it prosperous, in the face of the fact that Iren making Is new unprofitable, although It enjoys the protection of a tariff which forbids for eign competition. It Is the home com petition new which takes away tue profits. There is mere new made than the country consumes. The mills and furnaces are limiting orders, because thcre are net enough te go nreund ameDg them all, and thus knock down prices te get them until prices recede below cost. Every manufacturer knows this ; but the most of them seem re solved te refuse te make public admis sion of It. They still declare that a high tariff will save them. One of them, a Mr. Morehead, of Philadelphia, who says he has two idle furnaces In the Schujlkill Valley, prints In the liullctin of the Iren and Steel as sociatien, a statement of the cost of his pig Iren, which he brings up te ever eighteen dollars, whlle the average price he can get for It Is less thau eighteen dollars ; and Mr. Morehead concludes that this is positive evldeuce that the tariff Is tee low ; au addition of two del lars te the duty, hesiys would fix him all right for profitable manufacture. It seems hard te believe that an Intelli gent manufacturer would say anything se silly, when he knows that Iren Is made In some parts of this country at a cost of twelve dollars a ten against his eighteen dollars, and when, as Mr. Morehead ought te knew, if he does net, Iren Is made by many furnaces in this region at au average cost of about seventeen dol lars. The Celeuians, Grubb3, Freemaus, Fergusons, and all who enjoy the right te take free ere from the great Cornwall deposit, make iron at much less ce3t than their neighbors, and no one making a like quality of iron can compete with them In their market, when they are able te supply lt,as they will beshertly If they continue building mammoth furnaces; what will Mr. Morehead de te get away from their comietltien V Will a high iariff help him any, and hew ? The iron manufacturers would de well te consider whether they had net better see what is plain te all unprejudiced eyes, that what they need in the future are cheap raw materials and u wide market. Tim Democratic county committee wisely, we think, agreed te postpone the county convention for the nomina tion of a county ticket until n date later In the year than that necessary for the district conventions te select dele gates te the state convention. The early call for the stale convention ren dered It necessary te elect the state dele gates ntns early a date as March 2Ith, which, in the judgment of the commit teemen, was tee early n date for the Lancaster county Democrats te put a ticket into the Held that will net be voted for for mero than seven mouths later. It may be that nenu of the local Democratic nominees, except coin in is sleuer, auditor and member of Assembly from the city, will have any chance of election, but the present Indications are that the ltepubllcan candidates will be selected by influencea se disreputable as te merit defeat for them and te demand from the Democrats or this county the most forcible contrast In the character of the men they piujfiit Under erdluary circumstances it would he an inconvenience for thu party te held two conventions but the political interest which will cer taiuly be awakened by a presidential canvass this year will render it compar atively easy te gather together n Deme cratle county convention iu September and October, te mmie a ticket worthy of the suffrages of the people of Lancaster county and composed of men lit te ill! its cilices. Tin: meeting of Independent Repub licans In Brooklyn, the ether day, did nut de much mero thau resolve and re resolve te die the same. Their threat te net help the ltepubllcan party te success unless It deserved success, will naturally be regarded as an Idle eue, insomuch as there has been no leceut election when that party deserved success, and jet it had their support invariably, Mr. Selium isft conspicuous type of men who de mand certain qualillcatlens In ucaudl date before the nomination and then turn In and help te elect the very men who de net fit their prescribed essentials. It was a pity, however, that hungry and Impatlent young Republicans of Broek lyn choked off Mr. 15. K. Martin before he had concluded his uarrutlve of what tiie Independent Republicans of this county hnd accomplished. Asthey sue ceeded In electing Mr. McMellen's ticket ene year and Mr. Sensenlg's the next year, his narrative might have thrown aome light en the nuxieus inquiry of Mr. Menleruste whether it Is net Ills turn this year. Tin: Columbia Spy thinks the condi tion of things disclosed by the revela tions of bribery at elections in this city Is "humiliating." Se It Is, but that the politicians of its party de net propose te reform or abandon these methods, It can easily determine for itself, if it will Investigate the arrangements made iu this city today for another "carnival of fraud" ul the primary elections en April IS. It would be well for the Xcw Era and Examiner te inform their readers, new that the election Is ever, whether or net the law of 1671 requiring additions te be made te the sinking fund of the city will be In force under the administration of Mayer ltesenmlllcr. The Jxaim'uT has declared that this law of 1S7I was net in ferce when Stnuffer was In olllce though his term expired mero than three years after its passaee ; the 2?cw Em copied its statement without correction. If It was true, there may be like reason why the sinking fund should net Increase under the coming Republican admtnlstratleu. Hew Is It ? " TnevnLE has begun," for Mayor Mayer elect Rosenmlller. The list of names pressed upon him for the selection of his nppelntecs is net a premising ene. Frem stem te stern It offers no hepe of the reform, non-partisan police which the New Era favored before the elec tion. AnTHtu is a striking example of hew earnestly and yet hew shrewJly a man cau de nothing. Tiik vloterlcs iu tbe Egyptian campaign seem very much like the handle of a jug all en ene tide. One item of woman's apparel, artificial Hewers. elves omeloymont te no fewer than 110,000 women iu the city of Paris alone. Tiik United Suites has 330 college, or mero thau all the ether ceuntries of the world tegether, yet the ereme tie la tremc of the educated classes corae from the foreign universities. The Associated Press is boeonilug a de moralized institution wheu it gives the world the important uews that a notorious prize fighter was struck with a beer glass in a drunken row. The Independent Republicans of Lau Lau caseor county are snch an ieilnltcsitnally small number, that it is uet at all surpris ing that the New Yerk convention of albged Independents squelched the en thusiastic represontative from this ceuuty when he attempted their laudation. When a minister degrades his cloth by playing the political sne.ik, it is bad for him, but ttill werse for the cloth that he represents. One Dr. Snyder has given te the press nu alleged interview with Rosceo Ceukling, which no sooner hail appeared than it was repudiated by the ex-Serater In trying te make an explanation the al leged reverend declares that he had " none of the customary reportorial me lives for misrepresenting his views." Apart from this slur at the members of the " Fourth Estate," if Snyder had been possertcd of half the delicacy of a well bred mule, he would net have misreprenen ted an after diuner social cli.U that all the dictates of politeness required him te keep " under the rose." Hismakck's boencli manners may tuit the continent, but it is safe te May that had his let been cast en this side of the Atlan tic, his magnificent inselence wenld have long ere this received its meritcil reward. It is no longer a secret that Hen. Andrew I). White, the immediate predecessor of our present minister te Germany, resigned his otUee bocause et the inselence of the Iren Chauceller and his upstart officials. Sirgeut, the present minister, has b;en totally ignored by Uisraarck, professedly b-'CaiHJ the former dees uet understand German, but in reality because the " man of bleed and iron " (lads it easier te be boorish thau ugreeable. In the face of considerations of this kind, it is net at all surprising that the titia of Gjrmau immi gration te this country is nearly as lan,e as fr m all e'.hur aiuatrius oembiuod.

Y., early Sunday morning, burglars ctleetcd nu entrance into the jow jew dry stere of Emmanuel Marks &. Seu, en River street. The stere was closed about ten o'clock en Saturday ovenlng, the val nables being placed iu the safe, whleh steed iu the front of the stere, uext the show window. About 0:30 Sunday morn, lug, wheu Harry V. Fliun, the clerk, went te put out the gas, he was startled te find the safe deer en the fleer, n kit of burglars' tools being near by. He immo imme immo dlately informed the propnetors. The burglars did net enter the store directly, but first gained entrauce te MacDonald & Van Alstyne'a office, the first stere south, by forcing the fastening of ene of the wiudews en the alley side, probably by prying with a jimmy underneath. They thou raised the sash aud, entering, lowered it and proceeded about their work. In forcing the window fastening ene of the panes of glass was cracked. Then, do de scendlug te the cellars, a hele was made in the twelve-inch wall of about fifteen by twenty inches, suftioiently large te admit of the passage of a nun's body. Advantage was taken of the fact that a water pipe rati through the wall into the cellar of the jewelry store, the small opening affording room for the burglars' ready jimmies. The brick removed was left iu a pile in Mac Donald A Van Alstyne's cellar. The men then mourned tue stairway leading from the cellar te the rear of Marks A Sen's stere. Ne powder appears te have been used ia opening the sale. Access was gained, apparently, by insert ing jimmies ever the right deer aud forcing the llange. Iu this way au open ing of piebably a half inch was secured, and then one of the improved deuble jim mies was attached, by which 6uuicleut leverage was secured te ferce the eutside of the deer from its inner side. Lying exposed en shelvcs in the safe were several trays en which were tlnger rings, earrings, bracelets set with diamonds or ether prec ious stones ; also, between seventy-flve and a hutulred valuable geld watches, cash, etc. In sevtral wooden cempart ments were cards, attached te wuicu were diamond studs, etc. Iu au iron cempart ment ever the woolen drawers, m the upper right hand corner, were a large number of loeso diamonds en trays. This compartment had also beeu forced. The cutire contents of the safe appear te have been ilrst carried in a room in the rear of the stere aui carefully assoiteJ, for all the cheap goods were thrown en the iloer. Hctween $50,000 and 575,000 worth of goods and j00 iu cash were carried off. In the cellar was found a copy of the New Yerk Jii'J and Express of February 20, containing jewelry. Pelice Oflicer Arthur Treuer was en duty en the River street beat between the hours el midnight and six o'clock . He asserts that a few moments after six o'clock he pased the store, and, as is his custom, looked searchingly through the window, and particularly at the safe, which the light from the window exposed fully te view. He is positive that the safe was then intact and that nethiug in the st ve had bceu disturb.-d. TIIK OKAUK tf (JAMI's J'lllOL. A St) n el trio .Noted Seuth Carolina Uurlllit Sheeting Twe Meu. A special dispatch from Cheraw, S C, says . " On Saturday W. II. Cash, son of Uel. E. 15 Cash, the noted duellist, who killed Cel. Shannen a few years age, carae into town early in the day and remained until dark. Just before starting for home he bccirue very boisteroas, and was ap proached by Town Marshal Richards and rcquef.tul te keep quiet. A ditllculty ensued aud they clinched, the marshal 1 uslni: his club freely ou Cash's head and I arms.

Passing by liim a low paces, Cash suddenly wheeled around and, without saying a word, ilrew a rovel ver from his hip pocket and fired three shots ia rapid succession at the marshal. The ilrst shot passed through the left luu of James Ceward, an innocent bystaudcr. The second ball took effect in Kichards'a left lung, and as he fell, Cash fired again, but the shot miised its mark. He then ran te his horse, which was hitched at a convenient place, aud in the excitement was permitted te escape. Richards and Ceward are mortally wounded. The most iutense excitement prevails throughout the entire county, auu hundreds of rueu are iu pursuit of Cash. If caught he will undoubtedly be lynched." JL'Ul'IMI Fll 131 IIIHUI.

It Is eharged, and ue doubt admltted, that both sides made Imuroper nsea of meney In the cloe tlen en Tuesday. They have a peculiar system down thore of putting doubtful partisans nud purohasable oppenouts ou their poll committees, and paying thorn various sums, ranging from two te ten dollars each. It Is a Hpceles of pollte bribery, inaugurated by the managers, which Is yearly Increasing nnd whleh If net steppod, will debauch the politics or the city beyond hepe of reelam. atieu, unless It Is speedily and absolutely stepped. It Is nil well enough te employ poll committees, selected from known partisans, nud paylu thorn roaseuablo wages for thelr time and labor, but when It is se oxtendod as te ombrace doubtful voters aud purohasable oppeuonts, It be comes downright bribery. It is said by politicians of both sides that the purohas purehas purohas abeo vete of Laucaster city Is from flftoen te eighteen hundred. This is a shocking impeachment of the integrity of Lancaster city's voters that nearly oue third of the voters of the great elty of Laucaster the home of Stovetm and Huehauau can be beuclit. that tbev will soil their votes for sordid geld.

The burglar who was killed whlle trying te break into a cigar manufactory at Saiunga a short time age has at last been recognized as W. H.

Iu 1330 he raode bis appearance iu Quarry ville aud obtained a position ou the Lancaster and Quarryville railroad which he held for seme six months, when he was made watchman at the cngine heuse of tbe R. & C.

In fact, noue who had known him here saw It while lying at the peer heuse, but a photograph, which had been taken by the autherltlcfl.hapjicncd te fall into the hands of his own family, and they recognized it immediately. He was of a respected family, but he was hardened iu crime, and theso with whom be was lutltnately acquainted In this ceuuty de uet hositate te say he was capable of committing nny effense.
