INGALLS" ARRAIGNMENT.
-Democratic Pretenses Ixioaod in Terms
of Patriotic Klc|nc.i j0.
When aroused to miuileutu.il indig
nationhis emotions :ue singularly
well under control at oil timesSea*
ator Ingalls is the tno* energetic*
brilliant, aggressive, peitinent, and if
need bo, withering of political orators.
His masteily command of language,
the accumulative force of his faultless
rhetoric, the vigor and originality of
his ideas in logical expression, the au
dacity ot his antitheses, and the dom
inant fact that he is never without the
courage of his convictions, make him
a man to be feared as ^ell as admired*
He is to the American what Cicero was
'to the Roman Senate, and his philip
pics, as his speech on the Pension bill
attests, are as punitive of the culprit
Democracy ever were the invectives
of the patriotic judge of conspirators
against the peace, dignity and honor
of the State of Rome.
In coming to the defense of the
soldier interests it is the business of
the Democracy to assail whenever it is
expedient, Mr. Ingalls was as much in
spired by enthusiasm as impelled by
indignation, and the ringing sentences
hurled defiantly, but with a nice regard
to parliamentary courtesy, at the op
position had in them the ardor of a
sincere sympathizer with the advo
cated cause. Whatever may be the
differences of individual opinion as to
the attitude of the fiery Senator rela-,
live to certain points in his seemingly
impulsive speech, there can be but one
view of the soundness and irresistible
right of his deductions. His stand as
siues hiui of the gratitude of the
soldiers, whose lights he insists must
i regarded and allowed, and the at
tempt of Senator Blackburn to have it
'appear that he maligned the dead,
memory of whom is^preeioils to the ex
eoldieii of the Union army, will not
detiact from the respect and admira
tion won by his emphatic support of
the measure the Democrats are deter
mined shall figure as a partisan issue.
Vigor of language is necessary when
a body of men, ostensibly loyal to the
principles of the Union, sit menacing
in judgment against the just appeals
-of the defenders of that Union, threat
ening the legislative body with the
displeasure of an Executive who sits in
'authority as the representative, not of
the whole people against party, but of
a party against the idea of National
(unity, harmony and justice. Senator
(Ingalls exposed the misrepresentations
and penetrated the sophistry of the
'Democratic politicians who have tried
on the one hand to make it appear that
the petition of the G. A. R. was an in
solent demand, and on the other hand
to insinuate against the champions of
the Union soldiers and sailors that they
are seeking only to foster political sen
timent for selfish purposes.
SenatOi* Blackburn could make no
more effective reply to the Kansas Sen
ator's scathing arraignment of the
Democrats than the reiteration of the
feeble jest of one of his colleagues,
that Ingalls was stirring up for himself
a Presidential "boom." A more paltry
evasion of the imperative issue present
ed by the speech of Senator Ingalls
could not well be attempted, and comes
contemptibly horn a man of Senator
Blackburn's piofesssed intelligence,
whose only other reply was deliberate
misrepresentation of Ingalls' clear and
unmistakable declaration. The Dem
ocrats have persistently falsified the
attitude of the Union soldier, as they
have continuously falsified the facts
and figures relating to the pensioners
and would-be pensioners of the gov
ernment established by the Union sol
diers. The declaration that there were
but eight thousand Southern sol
dieis in arms at Appomattox at
the time of Lees sunender is not
widei of the truth than the assertion
that half the men who weie in the
Union armies are now on the pension
rolls and neither is more delibeiately
untrue than the repeated malign at
tempts to define the motives of the
'soldier and the friend ot the soldier.
Senator Ingalls smote with irresistible
thrust the pretenses and affections of
the Democrats so apparently zealous
to conserve the right of the many, and
placed before them an issue so plain
that no subterfuge or artifice will
enable the Democrats of the Senate
and House to escape putting them
selves squarely on recoid for or against
the dependent Union soldier as a
Union soldier. If the Democrats in
sist, as they seem determined to in
sist, on making the soldier question a
political issue, they will find that there
yet exists in the United States enough
loyalty to the Union and to the soldiers
of the Union to sweep the Democracy
out of existence on that issue alone.

THE INEVITABLE RESULT.
Why Tariff-Tinkering is Bound to injure
the Working Classes.
With the tariff on steel rails at the
present figure foreign manufacturers
aie able to enter the American market
and lay down their products, after
adding ocean transportation and cus
toms charges, at a price which leavgs
only a narrow margin of profit to the
home manufacturer who meets it In
other words, the rail-makers of Amer
ica, with all the advantages of im
proved processes and plants, an inex
haustible supply of iron ores almost
at their mill doors, and a market close
at hand, find it no easy matter, even
with the aid of a duty of seventeen
dollars per ton, to compete with mills
whose product must be freighted a
distance of three thousand miles, and
then pay an import tax. Take away
any part of this import tax, and you
leave the American manufacturer but
one alternativeeither to close down
his works and leave his costly plant to
rust in idleness and his workmen and
their families to starve, or else reduce
rthe cost of production by reducing
wages. That is what it comes to at
last. The American working-man must
stand the brunt of the Democratic
policy of wholesale cutting-down of
customs taxation.Chicago Mail,

BENEFITS OP PROTECTION.
A Tariff Properly Adjusted Sheds Its
Blessings Over All*
The scale of protective duties should
be so adapted as to secure the right of
every owner of land to provide for his
present wants and the future of his
family and to add to the wealth and
power of his country by developing
and bringing into profitable use all the
resources of his estate, whether they
be the products of the farm or those
of the forest, the mine or the quarry.
The landowners of a nation, however,
are not that portion of its citizens
who are most dependent upon the
maintenance of a system of duties which
should, under all the vicissitudes of
trade and changes, in the course of
international commerce, defend their
rights) for though commercial depres
sion may prevent them from making
profits to be hoarded or expended in the
improvement of their estates, they may
prooure sustenance from them. But it is
not so with the landless millions. Their
estates consist of their th
sinews of the training of
and hands to quick co-operati
of their taste for and aptne
production of the attractive
texture and color of invent
which enables them, by
nations of mechanical* prin
applications of science to tb*e __
increase the productive power of na
tions. These and the like aptitudes
constitute the estate of millions of
people who are known as artists,
artisans, laborers, or by other terms of
designation and who have the right
to demand th'at their esfate also shall
be defended by the nation, though
their defense shall require other
agencies than the power of a navy and
army. The daily wages of these toil
ing millions are the units of measure
ment by which their estates are told,
and their means of comfort and health
ascertained. And, I repeat it is the
duty of government so to adjust the
regulation of its trade and com
merce as to secure its own people
whatever benefits are to be derived
from the development of the material
resources of the country and the con
version of its native raw material into
useful commodities.
A tariff adjusted to these aims"
would protect every branch of indus
try, yet would not call into existence
a single monopoly. It would, like a
beneficient Providence, shed its bless
ings over all, and prevent the recur
rence of such seasons of suffering, de
pression and want as occurred be
tween the close of the war and the
going into effect of the tariff of 1824,
between the overthrow of protection
by the Compromise act of 1833 and
the adoption of the tariff of 1842 or
again, such as followed the free-trade
tariff of 1846, in spite of the fact that
our gold fields had, in a single decade,
yielded $1,100,000,000. Here was a
direct and unexpected gift from Provi
dence, bestowed for the purpose of
proving, even to the willfully blind,
the truth that a protective tariff is the
only defensive instrumentality known
to modern industrial warfare and
that, by securing the prosperity of all
classes of the people, and thus avert
ing long seasons of idleness and dis
tress, it is, while apparently a law for
the benefit of producers only, in fact
a boon to those who neither sow nor
reap, but are consumers only.Will

As 'long as the Grand Army of the

of revolution or disunion, or of exalta

against which it will not protest, and,
if needs be, its protest will be backed
by the whole force of organized re
sistance. The Union and the wel

NOSOLOGY EXPLAINED.
What Poets and Philosophers Have Found
to Say on the Subject.
Thomas Moore differs from me, for
he writes, quite oblivious of Lavater:
In vain we fondly strive to trace,
The soul's reflection in the face
In vain we dwell on lines and crosses.
Crooked noie and short proboscis,
Boobies have looked as wise and bright
As Plato and the stagyerite,
And many sage and learned skull
Has peeped through windows dark and dull.
Noses have, however, been held in
respect for many reasons by the learned.
As an oracle the old writers held that
it was a sure sigu of faithful affection.
Writes Rouister: "Did my nose bleed
in your company P1'
And, poor wretch,
just as she said this, to show her true
heart, her nose fell a bleeding. Bleed
ing of the nose did not always indicate
this, however, as the learned Grose
pleaded, for he held: "If a nose bleed
one drop only, it forebodies sickness if
three drops, the omen is still worse."
While Milton, who wrote the "Astrolo-
gist," said: "If a man's nose bleeds
one drop at the left nostril it is a sign
of good luck." Dekker, on the other
hand, held that the principal use of
the nose was to foretell the coming of
strange gusts:
We shall ha'guests to-day
My nose itcheth
There are lots of expressions in popu
lar parlance, too, to show how impor
tant the nose is considered. For in-!
stance, one speaks of a dupe as a per
son who is "led by the nose," and Iago
says of Othello:
He was led by the nose as asses are. lgp(
Paying through the nose," again, is
held to be a condition of too much
trustfulness, and Grimm says that this
saying had its origin in an old practice
of King Odin, who levied a tax of a
penny on every nose or poll. "Tweak
ing" the nose indicates not only a nose
puller, but a nose owner who is weak
enough to let people wring his probos
cis and not,only did Papists in the old
days slit the noses of the Protestants,
and Roundheads slit the noses of cava
liers, but in the war of 1877-7$ theMon
tegrins generally cut off the noses of
all the Turkish prisoners that they
ehancedto take.
Still, though suffering the occasional
indignity of a tweak, a good nose only
belongs to the clever mana man who
is able to find out secrets. For, as the
Latin poet says:
Non cuioungue datum esthabere natum,
which freely reared into English
means: It is not given to every body to have a note
(keen wit)
Still, as I have remarked, the nose is
not treated with the respect that it
should be, and this is possibly because
it is often the medium of ridicule. You
will remember Barnaul's lines:
The sssrlstan expressed no words
To indicate a doubt,
But he put his thumb unto his nose
And spread his fingers out.
Naturally the hands placed tandemin
front of the nose put the organ itself in
some peril, and hence it gets hit occa
sionally in a fight, as witness Hudibras,
who notes that: f^ *m
Those who in quarrels interpose
Must often wipe a bloody nose

The laW presupposes knowledge and there
fore convicts the man who excuses crime

unknowingly wrought, but in a matter of

Pennsylvania Industry.^ ~V
The busiest persons in this city at
present are those of a calling which
probably is unknown in any other
place in this country. That calling is
the piofessional cutting of cabbage for
sauerkraut making. The cutter travels
about the city from house to house from
the latter part of October to the mid
dle of November, by which time the
sauerkraut-making season is" over.
The father of the business is Michael
Bruckman, who has cut cabbage for
Reading's best families for many years.
There are few families in this city from
the highest to the lowest, that fail to
put down a supply of sauerkraut every
fall. Bruckman alone cuts up 200
i heads of cabbage a day during the put
ting down season. His cabbage-cutter
he imported from Germany, and he
says there is not another like it in this
country.
It is the well-to-do families and sa
loon-keepers who hire their cabbage
cut, although the charge is only one
cent a head. The saloonkeepers are
the best customers of the cabbage-cut
ters, for they order hundreds of heads
cut at a time. Sauerkraut for lunch is
one of the delicacies of Reading all the
year round.
During the last half of October and
the first half of November, Cutter
Bruckman estimates, there are not less
than 2,000 heads of cabbage cut every
day for sauerkraut in Reading, or 60,-
000 heads for the season. Those who
do not hire their kraut crop cut have
cutters of their own, or wait their turn
to borrow of a neighbor who has. No
Reading household is exactly complete
without a cabbage-cutter. The person
who cuts cabbage for kraut profession
ally has nothing to do with the making
of the kraut. That is done by the fam
ily, and the family in Berks County
that does not know all the mysteries of
sauerkraut-making had better keep its
ignorance to itself. No family puts
down less than ten heads of cabbage in
pickle to "ripen" into kraut, while the
cutter frequently has a job of a hun
dred heads or more to cut at a single
farm.ReadingLetter.
