THE TARIFF QUESTION.
Railroad Economy No. 1.
EnrroES Clarion: The question of
Cheap Transportation is one of vital im
portance to the people of our State, and
the more no an our product arc bulky
and cheap.
The Panic of 1871, from which we are
now emerging, induced a rigid exami
nation of the great aueataOal of economy
in the management of our railroad, and
the r 11! t wa a material decrease in the
cost of operating, and justified a corres
ponding decroasc in the rate of freight.
But it is questionable whether producer
received any of the benefits which should
have accrued to them, as railroad man
agers insisted that the decreased cost of
operating was justly balanced ly the de
crease in the volume of business.
That the condition of things has never
changed and that the volume of business
lias not only reached, but transcended its
former limits, is certainly true; in the
mean time, the rigid economy which
necessity bad forced seems no longer to
be required as the roads have all they
can do and the manager are consequent
ly deaf to the clamor of the people where
product have constantly declined in
value, while the rates for freight with
trifling exception, i kept up resulting
in a tax upon our industry onerous in
the extreme. In the. menu time, it is
greatly to be feared that our railroad
managers have abandoned that strict
Mipervision overall items of expendi
ture,and are steadily drifting back to the
extravagance of Ami Panic days.
That the railroads must have Compen
sation equivalent to the necessary cost
of operating, with a reasonable interest
on the investment, is admitted, but thoy
should be held to tho practice of the
same economy in expenditure and dil
igence in management that obtains with
individuals in tho conduct of their pri
vate enterprises.
A Quaker hat sollor of Philadelphia
in tho last century, was asked by a gen
tleman the price of a certain hat, to which
he answered one pound and ten shillings,
the gentleman asked can you not sell it
for less, to which the Quaker replied :
"A$ J live J cannot afford to $ell it forlm."
"After your style of living," said the
gentleman, "and livecomformably to a
reasonable profit, and sell your wares at
a fair price." "Obukrveb."

The first article that caught our eye,
in opening tho National Intelligencer,
sent us by Major Watson, of Buena
Vista, is the following:

They Get Their Bights.
New York Tribune.
On the first day of this year the rela
tions of husband and wife in England
underwent a complete change. The
Married Woman's Property act of 1882
is the last in a series of legislation en
tirely superseding the old common law
rule that the rights of a wife are merged
in her husband. The result is that there
are four classes of married women in
England having distinct rights and lia
bilities. First, those married before
August 9, 1870, are entitled to their
wages and earnings, and to any property,
the title to which accrues as from to-day.
But their husbands are liable for their
debts before and after marriage. Those
married between 1870 and 1874 are en
titled, in addition to the above, to all
sums coming to them as next of kin
under intestacy, to sums coining by will
or deed up to f 1,000, and to rent of free
holds descending to them as heiresses.
Husband of these women are not liable
for debts contracted before marriage.
Women married between 1K74 and 1888
can make their husbands liable for debts
only to the extent of the. assets which
the latter have received from their
wives. Women married after January
1, of this year, may acquire, hold or dis
pose of real estate and H'rsonal property,
In the same manner as if unmarried,
without the intervention of trustees. A
wife may now sue her husbaud, prose
cute hint criminally, and even make him
a bankrupt. It remains to be seen
whether or not this change in the law
will increase the business of the divorce
courts.
8EBAT0B BAYABD 3 KEY-NOTE.
f A Tariff to be Just Must be Gen
eral, not Local, in its Operation.
U. 8. SENATE, JANUARY 29, 1883.
The Georgia Pacific.
Greenville Times.
General John B. Gordon, President of
tho Georgia Pacific, in an interview,
stated that thero was all the money nec
essary back of the Georgia Pacific road
to build it, without a moment's delay, to
the Mississippi river. A survey has been
made, and a line permanently located,
from Winona, on the line of tho "Big
J," west to Greenville, on the Mississip
pi river. 1
Mr. Bayard aaid :
Mr. Praatllref t I with to My slew wordi
in regard to the remarki of my friend from
Missouri Mr. Vest. We are trying lo take
a step toward reiorm of our system of tariff
duties. I here la a general concession in pub
lic opinion that the present tariff is ob
structive to our domestic industries and ob
structive to our commercial intercourse
with other nations: that it is complicated,
obacuro, ami excessive in its rates. The
task has been proposed to Contcresa to re
model the tariff and get rid of these defect
if possible. There is, as far aa I can under
stand, an intelligent, clear, public demand
for a reduction of the scale of tariff duties,
for a simplification of the system ; that
there shall be some method by which the
necessaries of life and the cost of produc
tion in this country shall be lessened.
How is that to be obtained .' I Ieei
here the difficulty of dealing with the di
versified industries of this country and the
diversified productions of the country.
The Senator from Missouri epeaks very nat
i.rslly when he says that while he is for a
revenue tariff generally, yet when it comes
to some especial interest near his
homo and among his people, he feels the
duty incumbent upon bun to mailt upon a
protective spirit in the law that he Iocs not
feel as applied to other portions of the
country. That is a very natural fettling
which docs exist, and it is one of the chief
OSVBtt of difficulty we now cucounter in
settling our system of tariff taxation.
At the very root of the doctrine of luxa
tion lus, it is true, a necessary principle,
that it is a pnblic act and for a public pur
pose, mid the very instant that you shall
change that doctrine and make it a private
act or a local act for a private, class, or lo
cal purpose then you have begotten the nat
ural rivalry between localities sud local in
terests that will make it almost impossible
ever to reduce a system of taxation which
has been swollen and enlarged to an im
proper extent.
It was the exigency of the war; it was the
haste, the inevitable haste at that time to
discover objects upon which taxation could
ha levied that led to this conglomerate sys
tem both of internal and external taxation
which we have witnessed for so many years
past in this country.
The internal rereaue has comparatively
been simplified. It has been reduced to
three or four chief heads. Distilled spirits,
fermented liquors, and tobacco form ila
chief heads ; but the tariff upon imports
has not only had no modification since war
ceased, but, on the contrary, repeated inten
sification in many of its features.
The tariff of 1867 lowered internal reve
nue, but it seriously increased the duties
upon imports. The tariff of 1875, another
most unwise advance in tariff duties, was
made in a time of profound peace, and
some of its evils are those front which we
are now seeking relief.
Mow is It to be done? If the doctrine
suggested by my friend from Missouri is to be
followed up, then the compliments of the
Senator from Michigan will of course be
passed around the Senate "You tickle me,
1 tickle you ;" "You .sustain my local in
dustry, ami 1 will join'.luiinls with you to
suHtaiii fours." And so vou will have this
cordon of combined interests which will ef
fectually prevent anything like the refor
mation and reduction of taxes which is
sought.
Air. Conger. Mr. President
Mr. liayard. The Senator will pardon
me, 1 will give way to him in a minute. The
Senator calls on the Senator from Missouri
and welcomes him into the ranks of protec
tion because he says upon the subject of
me ami spelter and the like he wants to
have an increase of duty over the present
ingn rates, and now he says, tou voted to
put lumber on the lree-list, but 1 will snow
a peculiarly Christian spirit by voting for
your favorite article, and I will vote for
every other in order that there shall be a
firm combination that in the end will liu
able ti resist all attempts at reform and re
duction asked for."
I saw this spirit ; I recognized it. I do
not speak ol it disrespectfully ; I look upon
it as a natural exhibition of human feeling;
hut 1 do say it is as fatal as death to tin
principles of sound and just taxation. In a
country like our own, with that spirit started
n:id that rivalry for local interests among
boa) representatives, thero never can bt
and there never will be an agreement.
If we ever mean to pass a truly reforma
tory law upon this subject, it must be upon
the basis that it is the public interest which
shall affix the grade of taxation sufficient
for public needs and purposes, and that in
dividual demands raising it bovond such
requirements shall not prevail. Upon that
principle Congress may proceed to make a
tariff law. Upon the other system of amcre
division of the spoils of legislative power,
for that is what it is, I do not believe that
the Semite or the House of Representatives
over can agree.
Our interests in this country are so di
verseby that I mean that the diversity of
the production, the natural clash and rival
ry of looal interests, are so great how are
taey to be harmonised; how are they to be
brought together ? If you are to have com
bination! to advance one especially or an
especial class, what will be the result?
That the weakest will go the wall, that those
who can command the most votes will de
mand and receive the greatest share of the
taxing power, and injustice must surely
follow cr else human nature will have been
changed.
I submit to the Senate if we are to embark
upon the rule that each member of this
body is to get for bis immediate constituenta
all he osn of the taxing power of the United
States if that is to be the rule, if it is to be
"tho devil take the hindmost" of course
then this tarift bill is to be a scramble for
the spoils of legislation. I d not aeo how
any wise change of the law cau occur, or
how any just basis of taxation can be ar
rived nt or shall long be satisfactory ; be
cause 1 am satisfied that in this country
there will come sooner or later, and 1 think
soon rather than late, a perception in the
minds of our people that there is sue
national interest that is superior to sny
local interest, and that our laws for taxa
tion and for all other public purposes are to
be arranged with reference to the national
interest first and chiefly, and that that can
not be done by having a scramble between
the different localities and States of the
Union as to which shall obtain the greatest
share and benefits of the taxing power of the
General Government. There
fore it is, I say, that I regret every evidence
that I see of the intention to settle or try to
acttlo I think it will be a vain attempta
tarift system upon the basis of local de
mand and merely looal or claas interest.
There must be a general consideration of
me needs of the country aid there must be
something like a principle adopted, or the
attempt to make an equitable tariff law will
be fruitless.
The Deacon's Story.
Waverly Magaxtae
I remember her well. She was a
blithesome little creature this Bertha
Maynard as happy as any bird caroling
her song all the day long. We all loved
her verv much, and I. for one, shed tears
of joy when she left the flowery paths
of sin and came out on the Lord's
side. I remember well the day upon
which she was baptized. Good old
Edwards, was our pastor then; and I
never heard him preach so well as he did
on that morning. ISertha Maynard was
just seventeen years of age then, a pretty,
girlish creature, slim ana graceful, blue
eyed and sunny-haired. Yet young as
she wai, she seemed very much in
earnest, and willing to give all to the
Ixrd; and none, unless Brother Gregg,
even doubted her sincerity.
"f-he is too giddy a girl to make a
good Christian," he said, shaking his
head doubtfully. ''She has commenced
in the right way, but I fear she will, ere
long, turn hack.
"The Lord has power to bring all into
His fold," I said, in a reproving tone
"I know that; hut I do say that it
takes a great stability of character to
make a good Christian. HOW, we all
like Bertie, who is u petted and spoiled
child, used, young as she is, to all kinds
of dissipation, and with a score of
fashionable friends whom she likes quite
M well aa she does any of the brethren
or sisters of this church. Think you
she will bear their tempting and re
main pure? that nhe will pans through
Katan s fire and come out unscathed?"
"I think so," I returned still his
words set me to thinking, and I resolved
to watch the poor girl,andto sec how far
Isrother Ureggs words would prove
true.
She had been a member of our church
for nearly a year before I noticed any
thing unchristian like in her behavior.
It was one night in early spring that 1
happened to be kept at my office by bus
iness until after eleven o'clock. At last,
having finished, I closed my books, and
putting out my lamp, I stepped into the
street.
Just opposite my office was Burke's
Hall, now all lighted up for a grand ball.
I could hear the rich music and could
see the magnificently dressed ladies as
they glided through the dance; and I
sighed as I thought of the many ways
Satan had of enticing poor mortals from
their maker, only to add them to his own
list. I resided about a half mile out of
town, and my way lay by the Maynard
place
"Sweet little Bertie is sound asleep
and not wasting the hours which God has
fiven us for rest!" I said to myself, as
glanced at the dark windows of the
building. "One and all of the family
are enjoying the blessed boon sleep!"
But no just then a faint light glim
mered from a window, out in the dark
ness. Involuntarily I ceased my rapid
walk, and paused before the dwelling,
wondering whether or not nny of the
family were sick; fori knew that they
were in the habit of retirnig early.
I was not left long in doubt; the win
dow was railed noiselesdy, and a lithe
little figure .sprang out. It was dressed
in a rich evening robe, and wore a mask,
but, for all that, I knew it was Bertha
Maynard.
How swiftly flew the little feet as
sho took her way toward town, while I,
like a wolf seeking for prey, followed on
behind her I On, on she went in a kind
of feverish haste, pausing, not until she
had reached the bottom of the broad
steps which led to Burke's Hall, where
she stopped long enough to give a hasty
giunio arouna her, ere she sprrmr up
tueni and vanished trom mv view
"So, so," I mused bitterly. "Brother
Gregg was right after all. Bertha May
nard wears a cloak of religion and attends
et masquerade I ioor, foolish child 1 1
must see her to-morrow. For the love I
bear her, I will be kind and patient, and
then if sho.does not mend her ways, it
will be my painful duty to report her
conduct to the church
Accordingly I called the next day at
the Maynard place. Mr. Mavuard and
his wife were riding out and Bertha was
alone, as 1 had hoped that she would be.
She met me cordially, and her eye
lids drooped under my piercing gazo
and I thought her face wore a guilty
nusn
" Bertha, where were vou last nisrht?"
I shall never forget tho death-like
pallor that overspread her face then, or
how she grasped a chair to keep herself
from falling. I pitied her, and felt glad
that it was only I, of all the church, that
anew ot her sin ; another might not spare
her feelings as I would do.
"Bertie," I said more kindly, "why
did you go there last night r Trust me
I am your only true friend."
" Deacon Mar I " she exclaimed with
sudden energy. " If you are really my
friend, trust me. Do not seek to tear my
secret from me; for as the Lord lives!
mean no wrong!
Her pallid face was raised beseechingly
to mine now, and I could not find it in
my heart to condemn her. 1 mil v said:
" Bertie, I believe you and will trnst
on, if you will promise never go to such
U nliien nivnin "
c 1'iiiv i .t'j.it.i.
" I will promise that readily," she re
turned, grasping my hand. " I want to
do rie-ht, but sometimes I find it hard to
tell what is right. I am not as guilty as
you think I am, Deacon Mar."
And so the matter was dropped for tho
time, and I, silenced but not convinced,
left her. As I at first decided, I made
no mention of the matter to any one ;
but not feeling quite satisfied with cither
myself or her, I kept a close watch upon
her movements, staying purposely out
late at night, whenever any kind of sin
ful amusement was going on in town, to
see whether or not I could discover an
other error in her conduct; resolving if I
should to report it at once to the church.
And so a month passed, and then there
came an evening when Burke's Hall was
again lighted up for another grand mas-
the poor girl. The town clock had al
ready struck eleven, and I was begin
ning to think of going home, when
I observed a tall, well-dressed gentle
man come down the road, and pause
before the Maynard place.
Beginning to get more interested, 1
bent eargerly forward to watch his
movements. He waited at the gate a
moment an if to make sure that the in
mates of the house were at rest, and
then passed cautiously down the garden
path to the house, where he paused, and
glancing up at Bertie's window, uttered
a low but peculiar whistle, which was
ansv:red in a moment by the raising of
a sash sufficiently high for him to spring
into the room when it was lowered as
cautiously as it had been raised.
I could have gone home fully con
vinced of Bertie's perfidy, but I re
solved to find out who the midnight vis
itor was; and so I waited in the chilly
air of a spring midnight for him to come
out airain but it was an hour from the
time he entered ere he did come, and
even then he lingered at the window for
a good-night kiss from the fair occupant
of the room, before taking his way back
to the town, whither I undertook to fol
low him ; but being an old man, I could
not walk as fast as he, and
finding very soon that I could
BOt overtake" him, I turned my steps
homeward, for once in my life foiled.
And perhaps for being thus foiled, I
grew more angry with the girl.
' She will not find me as lenient now
as she did before. I, one of the pillars
of the church, cannot sec such iniquity
and let it go unpunished. The church
must deal with her!" I said to myself,
a little spitefully, I think.
Accordingly, the very next day, talc
ng Brother Gregg with me, t repaired
to the Maynard place, where I found
Bertie seated with her parents in the
parlor,
"I am glad that you have come,"
said Mrs. Maynard, reaching out her
hand to me. Bertie seems ailing to
day. I never saw her look so miserable.

Tell all I must, tnero was no help for
it now; and though I wished myself a
hundred miles away, I told what I had
seen, while the mother listened with
gasping sighs, and the daughter sat with
her face buried in her hands, trembling
violently. When l had hnished, Mrs
Maynard asked sternly !
Bertie! what have you to say to

The girl rose instantly to her feet
She was calmer now, though her face was

querade; and that evening I took my
stand near the Maynard Place, in a spot
that would command a good view of
Bertie's window, and where I could re
main unseen by any passer-by. And
there, hour after hour, I crouched like
a wild beast ready to spring unon its

" At last, Deacon Mar, I may make
my confession to you; but in order to
do so, I must go back and commence at
my childhood, thus giving you a sketch
oi my snori, dus eventful life. In
prey village, many miles from here,
wo lived latner, mother and I. We
were poor, dui lor an that ws were very
nappy; for love buttered our brown

his scanty earnings were barely sufficient
to give us a shelter for our heads, and
to provide the poorest food for us.
" Such were our circumstances when
there arose the cry of 'Gold in Califor
nia,' and a party of adventurers, among
whom was my father, started for the
far-off Eldorado. We had still harder
times after he was gone, but my mother
bore up bravely, toiling all through the
long days and often the greater part of
the nights for a sustenance for herself
and child, until the news came that he
had died with fever in the land of prom
ise. Then she sank beneath the blow
and fell sick. It was many months after
the day on which the dreadful letter
came ere she was aoie to sn up again.
During these long months I know that
we should have suffered from want of
food, fire and clothing, had it not been
for the kindness of a gentleman, a stran
ger, who was recruiting his health at our
little village, indeed, so Kind was ne
that, when after a time he asked for my
mother s hand in marriage, she could
not find it in her heart to refuse it to him.
They were married at the little church
in Alton, and soon alter tneir marriage
they purchased the house known as the
Maynard place, and removed to that
town, where, in accordance with my
step-father's wishes, I passed for his
child.
But mv own father was not dead,
though he had stood upon the bounda
ries of the other world; arid alter
months of hard labor he returned to find
the ones for whom be had toiled claimed
by another.
'At first,' said this dear father to
me, on the night when he met me by
appointment at the masquerade, 'I
thought that I should gaway, and none
would know that I was still alive; but
my love for my child overcame my reso
lution, and I resolved to see her at all
risks.'
After that I met him oftentimes in
my own room, sometimes in the woods;
for it always gave me joy to live even a
moment in his presence.
"I have heard it said that I am too un
stable in mind to be a good Christian.
Perhaps it is so; still I have been strong
enough to endure everything for my
mother's sake. To keep the bitter truth
from her, I saw myself an outcast from
society, and the object of the jeers of
even those who had professed to love me
the best.
"It was nnlv in the drain? hours of
my mother's life that she knew all ; and
when those unearthly bright eyes gazed
fondly upon me, and the dying lips mur
mured taintly, 'Uod bless you, my darl

repaid.
this u the confession you wished me
to make this is the dreadful thing for
which you took away my good name,
and had me expelled from the church !
Well, those bitter days are over, and
thank God, they can never return! The
last sod has been placed upon my
mother's coffin-lid, and I go away with
my only remaining early friend, never to
be parted from him until God shall call
one or the other to the eternal rest. And
now, Deacon Mar, I entreat you by the
love you once pore me to clear mv name
of the blackness with which you have
surrounded it. Do this, and you will
ever have the prayers of
