A Terrible Dealli,
Mr. Fred Niggle, who lived on the
old Michael Niggle place, near Ralston's
mill, in Butler township, met with a
terrible death in this town, last Satur
day night. He had evidently started j
to walk home, about seven o'clock I
Saturday evening, and being under the ,
influence of liquor, fell or laid down, j
in the alley west of Washington street •
and between Cunningham and Jeffer
son streets, where he perished from ex
posure. He was last seen alive about
seven o'clock that evening, near tbe
corner of Cunningham and Washington
streets. When Mr Ward, who lives ;
in the Henry Bauer house, was in his
stable on Sunday morning about 9 ;
o'clock, a woman called to him that
there was a man lying in the aliey and
that he had been lying there all morn- j
ing. Mr. Ward went to the man. and !
seeing that he was dead, so informed j
Esq. Keck, who proceeded to the spot,
j swore a jury of spectators, examined
I the body and had it removed to his
mother's residence, west of the jail. A
post morteiu examination was made on
the body that evening, but no marks
! of violence, evidence of heart disease, 1
' or auytbing else tending to cause sud- j
j dun death were discovered. County (

i death, and an inquest wu.- held next
i morning, but nothing' i.t importance j
; elicited. Toe verdict of the ju'-y was, !

—Over three thousand bills have al

of 1855 the receipts were but $640,§9£,

The exposition in the same city in

those who put money on the venture;
but evpn ttan the receipts were less
than half of the $4,690',T63 expended-
The Vienna Exposition of 1873 present,
ed a much more unsatisfactory exhibit,
for while $9,850,000 was paid out but

It should be observed with respect to
tho itefp of cost that it in most cases
includes permanent investment#, which
may fairlr be deducted from the total.
For example, the amounts invested by
Philadelphia and Pennsylvania for
buildings designed to remain after the
Exhibition was closed, aggregated
$2,500,000. After repaying $1,500,-
000 advanced by tbe Government of
the United States, the Philadelphia
Exposition returned to subscribers
about 25 per cent, of the capital stock
of $2,500,000. The Atlanta Exposi

return.
—Of the $121,851,634.66 of internal
revenue collected by collectors during
the fiscal year, ended June 30, 1881,
$653,836.95 was collected in this dis
trict, comprised of the northern part of
Allegheny county, including Alleghe
ny city, and this county and two or
three adjoining ones, of which Col.
John M Sullivan, of this place, is col*
lector. There are now but ten districts
in this State, and 126 in the country.
The salaries of these 126 collectors
range from $2,000 to $4,500, and there
are 1,035 deputy collectors whose sal
aries rauge from S6O to $2,100; also,
191 clerks, etc., whose salaries range
from SIOO to $f,700. There are also
employed 706 gangers whose fees are
not to exceed $5 per day, 1.074 store
keepers and gaugers not to exceed $4
per day, 644 store keepers not to ex
ceed $4 per day, all paid when actually
employed. The 30 tobacco inspectors
who are paid by the manufacturers, and
j store keepers and gaugers assigned to
distilleries of a capacity not exceeding
20 bushels receive $3 per day. The
largest amount collected during the
year in any one district was from the
first Ohio (likely Cincinnati beer and
whisky), over twelve and a half mil
lious ; the next largest was from the
l\fth Illinois (Peoria Vhisky, we sup
pose), nearly eleven and a half millions.
The first Illinois contributed*'nearly 10
millions, the first Missouri over 5£ mil
lions. the fifth New Jersey millions,
the Ist, 2d and 3d New York add up
nearly 12 millions, the first California
over millions. These are the largest
In the Pittsburgh district, Davies col
lector, nearly 1j- millions were collect
ed. The total amount of internal rev
| enue collected in the country during the
| year was $135,225,912.30, and the re
-1 ceipts for 1882 are expected to be over
157 millions. The things taxed are
spirits, tobacco, fermented liquors and
banks. A comparatively small amount
(about seven million of dollars) is also
collected from the people by means of
stamps on friction matihes, bank checks
and patent medicines. These taxes
are a nuisance and should be repealed,
but as we believe, the best thing to do
with a national debt or any other debt
is to pay it as soon as possible, and as
the receipts of the internal revenue de
partment are over a third of the entire
receipts of the government, we want
to see the iuternal revenue continued
and the debt paid off as fast as possi
ble. The entire expense of collecting
the internal revenue duriug 1881 was
a little over five million dollars, or less
than four per cent, of the amount col
lected, aud all the money collected was
satisfactorily accounted for and turued
o\er to the treasury. Whisky, beer
aud tobac -o are luxuries, u.nd should be
taxed in preference to sueh articles as
sugar and molasses, oil which two ar
' tides the customs receipts amounted,
! last year, to the enormous sum of $47,-
| 977,137 Sugar and molasses, if not
absolutely necessaries of life, are at
least ordinary every day comforts, the
I tax comes off rich aud poor alike, for
■ many people cannot afford to buy any
! thing but molasses to spread on their
| children's bread, and if the receipts of
| the naii(.ual government must be re
duced, the tariff on these and all other
articles of food should be tb« starting
point. Our tariff laws undoubtedly
need revision, but the internal revenue,
with the exception of the items we
have mentioned, should stand.

Pittsburgh .H ami fact u re* on
Tariff Revision.
[Correspondence of Titusville Herald.]
The Pittsburgh Iron and Steel man
ufacturers are, as I stated in my first
letter, almost unanimously in favor of
: tariff revision but they look forward
i with dread to the uncertainty which
must necessarily attend the formation
I of a new tariff law.
'lt is such a delicate matter to han
ble,' said W. D. Wood, of the McKees
port works of W T . D. Wood <fc Co.,
yesterday, 'that Pennsylvanians may
well have a fear of the results of any
tinkering with the tariff. lam satisfi
ed, however, that there will be a new
tap iff bjll presented to Congress very
soon after' the *nd tb|3 sooner
we have a revision the better. Judge
Kelley is fully competent to draft a
satisfactory bid. Grave Inequalities
exist iu tiie present law and they
shoijliJ 1)P }*pmedied. The 'omnibus'
clauses in the present tariff giye the j
most trouble. The treasury officials
regulate the rates of duty on manufac- j
tures not otherwue provided lor, while
tlie law should make tht duly unalter
able. We favor the MeKiuley bill, j
That proposes to fix tbe duty on ar- i
ticies unclassified at a rate not less j
than thai charged upon fhe 'material'
from which tbe unelsi-.-ified goods are ,
made. Such a l.»w would ilo away j
with the cotton-tie trouble for example '
'Under the McKialev bill cott »u
--| ties w >uid be »'etjuesie<i 10 p»y tbe
same duty a- hoop iron, trom which
ihey are made. The damage clauses
which allow a rebate of duty for goods
damaged during the voyage, should
also be repealed. Russia sheet iron
which may have been stained en route
from the t'ral Mountains 10 at. lie
tersburg, or by sweating while In the
holds of vessels, secures a rebate iu
proportion to the damage sustained
from the regular rate of 3 cents per
pound. The stained iron can be bright
ened in this CC|u(4, unq it is»
sold as a first-class article.'
TIIE WISIJOM OF SECRECY.
'I don't think,' continued Mr. Wood,
'that it is a good idea tor the tariff
people to say what they do or do not
want in pespeot tti either an QF
reduction of duties. If I went to
Washington to trj and accomplish
some change in the tariff that would
be beneficial to our manufactures and
made it known in advance, 1 would
jjnd ha|f a dogen importers ttyere
ing f,o defeat my We are
tariff men here on principle. We don't
believe in the degradation of labor,
and as long as this country is prosper
ing and its people are contented and
happy, I don't think a new policy will
be advocated.'
Mr. Wood and his partners in their
works at McKeesport and Wellsville
employ about 700 men. At the for
mer place the only manufactory of
planqished or Russia sheet iron ia this
country exists. Mr W. D. Wood's
grandfather obtained the seceret of the
manufacture of this iron in Russia
nearly half a century ago, and in 1845
established his works in Philadelphia
The process has been kept in the Wood
family ever since, and has been greatly
improved. Some of the most raluable
patents for the process were issued
not more than a year ago. The mills
at McKeesport are not, it is perhap3
needlessto say, open to the inspection
of the public. The tariff has undoubt
edly been of great adyantage to Mr.
Wood, but has also been beneficial to
the consumer, for he now gives the
public plannished iron at from 11 cents
to 12 cents per pound that used to cost
20 cents per pound
HOW GLASS MEN REGARD THE TAR'.FF.
There are in Pittsburgh frtv glass
making establishments of all kinds,,
with an aggregate capital of $5,491,000
Sixtbousand men areuuipioyed in these
works. The industry ha.- flourished
under the protection given it by
the tariff. There are used in
the United States 500,000 ifross
of beer bottles annually. St. Louis
consumes 100,000 annually, Chicago
very near the same number, and Mil
waukee 60,000 gross. In Pittsburgh
glass of every description is made. T.
B. Atterbury, & Co., of the South side,
are large and well established manu
facturers. Mr. Atterbury, after giving
us the figures quoted aoove in respect
to the consumption of beer bottles, said:
Glass manufacturers in Germany are
laying down these bottles in Chicago
to-day for $5.50 per gross, and in St.
Louis for sG—paying the duty of 35 per
cent., ad valorem, too. It is only a
question of time when St. Louis will get
the bottles as cheap as Chicago. We
consider $6 per gross about as cheap
as we can handle the bottles. There
are over one hundred firms engaged in
the manufacture of these bottles near
Brussels, and American naufacturers
can scarcely compete with them. The
reason is that labor costs almost nothing
there. Here we must pay for it. A
good blower in the United States wants
$5 per day. In Germany he is well
paid if he receives $lO per week. The
great difficulty with the tariff in the es
timation of the glass manufacturers is
the low rate of duty on soda ash.
This article, made of lime, salt and sul
phates, all of which can be obtained in
abundance in the United States, is essen
tial to the manufacture of glass. In
1880, 208,125,700 pounds of soda ash
were imported, paying a duty of 4 cent
per pound. The*re venue obtained from
these importations was $521,064,29.
The value of the importation was $3,-
128,772.25. Foreign manufacturers
have a monopoly of rhe manufacture
of soda ash, and every attempt to break
down the monopoly has failed. They
charge us 2£ cents per pound for the ash.
"Lennox, of Philadelphia, started in
sometime ago to make soda ash. He
built his works and began the manufac
ture ot The foreign manufacturers
immediately sent hundreds of tous of
soda ash to New York and sold at auc
tion for any thiug it would bring, there
by, breaking down Mr. Lennox's busi
ness. Bennett. Clyde <fe Co., of this
city, undertook the same business and
were treated in the same way. We
ought to have a duty of 1 cents a
pound on soda ash and the United
States would be the gainer. Our spe
cially is in the manufacture of colored
glass, lamps aud the hijfhnr grades of
glass ware. In everything that requires
the use of machinery we can bea' the
the foreigners, but. when it comes to
the manufacture of glass, where labor is
I the most important factor, the German,
French aud English glass makers have
the advantage of us."

The Literary ••Rebellion."
Mr. John B. Alden, who organized the "Lit
erary Revolution," which has given the peo
ple the best of books at such wonderfully low
prices, does not give up the tight with the fail
ure of "The American Book Exchange," which
failure, he claims, was in no respect the result
of selling books too cheaplv, but was caused by
the combination of publishers and booksellers
against the enterprise; infamous and baseless
slander being scattered broadcast culminated in
a "panic" among the creditors of the institu
tion, causing a "run" which resulted in the ,
failure of the company, just as it has often
caesed the failure of bunks and other institu
tions perfectly solvent under ordinary condi
tions He and other friends of the enterprise
have organized "The Useful Knowledge Pub
lishing Company," and a literary Rebellion
which proposes to carry on the fight. The first
work published by the new company is a beau
tiful edition of Mucaulay's "Lite of Frederick
the Greatj" which they sell for the marvellous
ly low price of 20 cent#, neatly bound in cloth.
The companv proposes to begin immediately
the publication of a series of cyclopaedias—one
of history, one of oiography, one of science, one
of choice prose literature, one of poetry, and
one of religious literature—each of which cy
clopaedias will be in several large octavo vol
umes of over 1,000 pages each, at the price of
$1.2.3 per volume, in cloth binding, and will
also be published in numbers, at only two cent*
per number, being considerably below even the
"revolution" prices ! They will send specimen
riages and catalogues free, and friends of choice
i'erature at low prices will be sure to shower
them with postal cards, at least. Address THE
