ST. PAUL, TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 1881.
Theke is no longer any doubt as to
whether the dog will waggle the tail or
the tail waggle the dog. Mahone is
■waggling the dog.
"Gath" is on a visit to North Carolina,
and the champion liar among the tar
heelers, who has hitherto feared no com.
petition, has thrown up both hands.
TiiEglibneBS and emphasis with which
the Massachusetts Senator prates to his
betters suggest that he ha.« proably re
ceived his training with the jack-Dawes.
LeDuc is to be superseded by a Massa
chusetts man. His tea plantation and
bamboo farm will now be devoted to the
cultivation of Boston baked beans and
brown bread.
Inspired by Mahone's success a son of
Ex-Gov. Wise announces tbat he is will
ing to accept the repudiation nomination
for governor of Virginia. It is an unwise
•on that goes back on the precepts of his
own father.
"We are not repudiators, "shout Logan,
Hoar and Dawes. So it would appear.
You propose to carry out your contract
with Mahone, Kiddlebarger & Co., dis
reputable though it may be. Honor
among thieves is commendable.
Tiue MahoniaHS are promising to make
the Democrats sorry that they gave occa
sion for entering upon ;i political debate
at the present time. Feriiaps they will
keep their promise, but there is likely to
be grief on the other side as well.
"God sometimes chooses some queer
instruments with which to work out his
reforms" says the New York Tribune in
alluding to Malione. True, but Mahone
claims to be a sa f-made man, and has
thus relieved the Almighty of a terrible
resy visibility.
The Mahoniaus have discovered that
that there were great frauds ptrpotraltd
at tii« last election in Florida, uud rieprc
rentalive Finley'p seat will accordingly
he contented. We were uot aware that
they needed another vote to give them a
majority in the House.
PiNCHBAcif scorns the imputation that
he is interfering with the New York ap
pointments, and says he has enough to do
to attend to Louisiana. If Pinch, is to
be the disbursing agent for the Louisiana
offices, there will be a precious lot of ras
cals sent to that unfortunate State.
When Hahone speaks in the Senate his
antics are said to remind one of the ges
ticulations of a monkey on a hand-organ.
His owners will, ere long, regret the ex
change, aud will exclaim with Shylock:
"We would not have exchanged the ser
geantcy of the Senate for a wilderness of
such monkeys."
The Mahonian papers that, two weeks
since, were furious in their denunciations
of Senator David Davis because of his
avowed intention of voting with the
Democrats, are hard pressed now to find
words complimentary enough in which to
express their profound admiration for his
character. Dayis is now voting with the
Mahonians.
Titr Mahonian newspapers are assert
ing that there was no bargain with the
Virginia ri'pudiator. Perhaps not. They
are very strenuous, however, in insisting
that Muhonc's friend and fellow-repudi
ator be given the most profitable office in
the gift of the Senate, and Mahone is as
itreuuaus in claiming it as his due. These
are certainlj indications of a bargain.
President Garfiet-d is in a quandary
as to how Fred. Douglass shall be dis
posed of. His term as marshal of the
District of Columbia has expired, and a
large majority of the society people of the
capital are opposed to a "nigger" in that
responsible place any longer. Garfield
would like to accommodate society, but
he can't find a hole in which to stow
Douglass away. Why not make him gov
ernor of one of the territories — Utah, for
instance?
There are several applicants (colored)
for the mission to Hayti once occupied by
Langston. There appears to be rib neces
sity for a representative of this govern
ment on that island. Though Langston
has drawn the salary of the office for
fereral years, he has been no nearer his
post of duty than the city of "Washington
for more than two years past. As the
office has been practically vacant for so
long a time without any detriment toj^ie
interests of the country, economy would
dictate that it be abolished.
There is still much speculation as to
what the financial policy of the Mahonian
party will be. Some means must be de
vised to conteract the effect of Hayes'
veto of the refunding bill, or the party
will enter upon the* next campaign at a
great disadvantage. It is thought by
•ome that resort will be had to temporary
loans as a means of redeeming the five
and six per cent, bonds as they mature,
but these will be found insufficient unless
the cash balance in the treasury is re
duced to less than forty per cent, of the
outstanding demand liabilities. Such a
reduction would be exceedingly hazard
ous, aud quite likely to place the treasury
at the mercy of the speculators in. Wall
Btreet. It will be some time a de
cision is reached.
If flagrant dishonesty is enterprise, the
Pioneer Press is the most enterprising
paper in the United States. Every day
it prints as "special telegrams'' column
after column of news clipped bodily from
other papers, much of it from three days
to as many weeks old. Yesterday it had
the effrontery to call attention editorially
to a sample of its enterprise, a "special
telegram" from President Billings, of the
Northern Pacific road, relative to the
recent issue of stock by that company.
The telegram alluded to was a regular
press dispatch, and was published as such
in the Globe. The P. P. made a "special"
of it by changing the date aud adding
Mr. Billings' signature. This is the way
a majority of its "special telegrams"
reach it over its "special wire."
THE IyjVSTICE OF I'ROTECTIOy.
The Democratic party is a foe to Amer
ican industry, says a Chicago Alahonian
paper. And then it proceeds to argue in
favor of "the wise policy of protection"
inaugurated and maintained by the Re
publican party, claiming that without the
protection afforded by tariff duties on im
ports of manufactured articles, our manu
factures would languish and. die. It
further claims that free trade would place
mechanics in this country on a level with
the pauper labor of Europe.
The Democratic party is not a foe to
American industry, but the contrary. It
is the foe to monopolies — as distinguished
from labor — is opposed to the taxation of
the many for the enrichment of the few.
It does not believe that American indus
try needs "protection" in the sense that
the term is employed, but is abundantly
able to protect itself at all times and
under all circumstances. Labor requires
protection against the encroachments of
capital only when capitalists are "pro
tected" by the government to the extent
of taxing labor for their enrichment.
American manufacturers have nothing
to fear from the encroachments of foreign
competition. For years past the products
of our looms and our lathes have been
placed on foreign markets to such an ex
tent as to prove ruinous to foreign manu
facturers. American edged tools, though
protected by our tariff laws, have long
been exported to England, France and
Germany, and are there sold at a profit to
the manufacturers for a less price than
they can he manufactured for in those
countries. Yet American artisans are
compelled to pay nearly fifty per cent,
more for the same articles purchased in
this country. American prints are sold
in Manchester and Liverpool cheaper
than prints of English make, but when
sold in this country bring about forty per
cent. more. Agricultural implements of
every description manufactured in the
United States are sold in every country
on the civilized globe for thirty to forty
per cent, less than in this country. If the
manufacturers can afford to pay the cost
of transporting their goods to Europe and
sell them there for twenty-five to fifty
per cent, less than they receive here —
and less than the same article can be
made lor by the "pauper labor of
Europe" — it is very evident that
the prices here are altogether too high,
aud it needs no argument to prove that
protection is unnecessary.
The duties levied for protection are
simply and solely a bonus paid to Ameri
can manufacturers that they do not need
— the robbery of laboring men for the
benefit of the capitalists. jSTo part of
the tax goes into the treasury of the
country. It is simply added to the pro
fits of the home manufacturers. Here is
an instance in point: The tariff on linen
and thread hose during the year 1879
produced to the government a hundred
and forty seven dollars. The duty on
these articles is forty per cent, ad valorem .
This duty has simply enabled the Ameri
can manufacturers to charge a dollar and
forty cents for each dollar's worth of
hose, while it has benefited the govern
ment not one iota, as the cost of collect
ing the trilling revenue was far greater
than its amount. Umbrellas, from which
no revenue was received, are taxed at the
rate of sixty per cent., all of which goes
into the pockets of our home manufac
turers. The makers of these articles, be it
remembered, are annually exporting large
quantities to Europe and selling them
there at a reduction of more than fifty
per cent, from the prices charged here,
and at these prices make a handsome
profit after deducting freights, insurance,
commissions of middle men and other
expenses to which they are not subject if
sold in this country.
These are but specimens of the entire
list of dutiable articlfts upon which a tariil
for protection is levied. The taxes re
ceived from them do not pay the cost of
collection. They are simply in the nature
of a legalization of the robbery of Ameri
can consumers. They affect every man.
woman and child in the country, for al!
are compelled, nolens volens, to contribute
to the support of these monopolies. Thi
mass of the people derive no benefit
whatever from these duties. They do
not assist in payiig the expenses of the
government, for the taxes are so onerous
that importations are practically prohib
ited. They are not necessary for the
maintenance of American manufacturer?,
for it is shown that America can compete
successfully with any nation on earth.
The immense resources of this country,
coupled with the facilities for manufac
turing, more than counterbalances the
difference in the cost of labor between
America and Europe.
Protection is & fallacy long since ex
ploded. Our manufacturers can thrive
without it. They would not amass co
lossal fortunes in a short time, as they
now do, yet they would he amply reward
ed both for their labor and their invest
ments. But evi^n if their profits are
small, the relief to the people would be
considerable. The principle of protec
tion is odious. Manufacturers have no
more right to expect tribute from the
people than have any other class of peo
pie. An able-bodied mechanic might
with as great propriety demand that a
tax be levied for the support of himself
and his family in idleness. This system
is opposed by the Democratic party,
which holds that a tariff is justifiable only
as a means of providing a revenue for
the maintenance of the government.
When it goes further than this it be
comes intolerable and oppressive, grave
injustice, downright rebbery.

FIRE MATTERS.
Planning for a -New j Engine House—lm
* proved Machinery— No Walkists in the
.Market House. V Lv'\i'?'
A meeting of the commitee on fire de
partment and the aldermen of the Fourth
ward of the city council was held at 7:36
o'clock last evening. Aid. - Grace pre
sided, and there were present Aids. Allen,
Kingwald, O'Connor, Cornish, Griggs,
Minea, md Chief Strong, of the fire de
partment. . . .. ' . -
' The object of the meeting was to con
sider the construction of the proposed
new engine house, corner of Maokubin
and Sell))' avenue; in the Fourth. ward.
A drawing was submitted showing i
the . elevation of - a modern
engine house, together with plans
for the interior of -the house.
The drawing showed tie el.-vation of a
two story brick building, 30x75 feet in
dimensions, with cupola and stone caps.
The plan of the inside represented the
interior of the building on the ground
floor. In the front part of the building
spaces were shown, representing places
i for. the engine, tender and stalls, with
sleeping rooms in the rear.
Alter an animated debate the drawing
and plan were accepted.
Chief Strong submitted his report, rec
ommending water cisterns for fire de-
I partment purposes at the intersection of
Western and Holly avenues, Summit
avenue and .Mackubin street, Grand
avenue and Grotto street, Mackubin and
Rondo streets, Concord and Livingston
streets, Custer and Kate streets and Hugh
and Bertha streets. A number of fire
alarms were also recommended to be
placed in various parts of the city.
Adopted.
Aid. Allen stated that parties had
called upon him and asked the privilege
to rent the Market hall for a pedestrian
match. The matter was generally dis
cussed and it was deemed not advisable
to rent the hall for this purpose.
Chief Strong submitted a letter from
Fire Marshal D. J. Sweeney, of Chicago,
relating to the use of what is known as
the Siamese couplings and lire-escape
ladders. The writer testified to the use
fulness of the couplings, by the use of
which as many engines can be attached
to a hose as '.here are inlets to the coup
lings. The Skinner fire-escape and
Banner extension ladder were both com
mended. . /
" A letter was read from the Silsby man
ufacturing company, of Senaca Falls, N.
V., offering the latest improved steam
lire engine, No. 3, at $3,750, the original
price of which is $4,000.
A lengthy discussion ensued, upon the '
conclusion of which Chief Strong was in
structed to procure some information
concerning the big fire engine at Boston.
The question of uniforming the members
of the department came up, and it was
decided to request the members to pur
chase blue suits for summer wear, as
nearly alike as possible.
The committee will recommend the
following: That Chief Strong be author
ized to purchase badges for the members
of the department; that the city clerk
advertise for bias for an extra large size
engine, and for the construction of cis
terns, and for plans and specifications for
the new engine house on St. Anthony
hill. >

proper construction of dwellings, business
Mocks and halls, defective plumbing, defect

Housing the Ilirjh School, all the Question
at lusito—A l'leti for Broad and Tolerant
Action
To the Editor of the Globe.
In the interests of all parties I beg to
suggest whether we are not making of
the High school question a needless mat
ter of difference between citizen and citi
zen. I respect every man's views as to
education, its extent and aim, and I ex
pect the same from others for my own
views. But it does not seem in this case
wise to arouse bitter feeling, and above
all, is sectarian feeling uncalled for. It
is a question of housing a school, now es
tablished thirteen years, and incorporated
as part of the system of free schools here.
It is not a question whether a High school
shall be created. I may agree with oth
ers or not, as to whetner such a school
should form part of the school system,
but when asked to properly house an ex
isting school, on the ground that the
health of the scholars demands it, and
also that it is more costly and inconven
ient to rent rooms, why then I cannot see
why I should not favor erecting the
building asked for. In my judgment this
is a far simpler matter than it has been
made to appear by advocates or oppon
ents thus far. I take no sides in the
premises, as Catholic or Protestant, I
have no diiferences either with Bishop
Ireland or Dr. Dana on the question.
Each is entitled to their own opinion, and
each has courteously and openly
avowed it. But as a sanitary and econ
omical measure, I propose to favor
the High school building. I have no con
troversy to maintain with any about the
theory on which the school rests, I pass
that, and meet rather the issue now
raised, that the school is entitled for
good reasons to a house, like other schools.
1 don't mean to be unjust to any one, nor
ask others to do what I am not willing to
do. It would be wrong to keep the 200
scholars of this school where they are,
and 1 shall not refuse a reasonable re
quest like this of our board of education,
to provide wholesome and commodious
accommodations for it. The material and
educational advantages of the school are
ereat, and the city we all take pride in
needs such to keep it well abreast of those
competing for the lead in the northwest.
I think all having at heart the good of
the city should keep out of this question
all religious jealousies and sectarian dif
ferences. We should meet it as a local
matter, on the broadest grounds of pub
lic policy, and do what we do with good
will to all. I hope to see the measure
generally endorsed by citizens of all po
litical affiliations, and every church. This
is not a partisian matter, and there are
therefore those friendly to it who differ
utterly in respect to politics and religion.
If met in this spirit, it will be generally
dealt with, and St. Paul citizens can he
trusted to do what is wise and liberal.
Certain, it is, that we ought not to allow
any other feeling to actuate us than those
which are kindly, nor should any one be
criticized or censured who favors or op
poses it in an open and manly way, and
who has at heart the good estate of a city,
we wish to see the peer of any.

ENGLISH GRAIN MARKETS.
Generally Qniet and Depressed, With
Good Supplies of Foreign.
Loxdon, March 2S.— The Mark Lane Ex
press, in its review of the British g>ain trade
the past week, says: Notwithstanding the
unsettled weather and temperature the last
fortnight, a great deal of Bowing has been
done, but the season is still late and farmers
are anxious. Frosty nights and cold winds
have slightly affected young wheat. The
backwardness, however, isn't generally fa
vorably regarded. On the whole the wheat
acreage, which is small, looks well.
English wheat is fctill in small
supply on account of the busy season,
but the facilities for threshing have materially
improved the condition of samples. Millers
necessities have created a demand for English
wheats, and sales of low samples was conse
quently easy. The recent improvement in
values was confined solely to the best samples;
others were practically unsalable.
Foreign wheats at the close lost the greater
portion of Monday's advance, a reduction of
5d being necessary to effect sales. The attitude
of buyers was unmoved by crop prospects.
Off coast market or American speculation con
tinues most reserved and cautious. The huge
California arrivals were readily ab
sorbed, because relatively cheap.
The foreign supply at London was more than
sufficient.
Flour quotations — Since Monday it has been
easier in London and the province!. Foreign
flour similar in tone and in good supply.
Barley quiet and drooping. Foreign bailey
dull and easier. British anJ foreign oats in
stock demand and weaker. Maize in more
plentiful supply aud weaker to-day.
Sales of English wheat the past week 31,190
quarters at 43s Id against 27, I'j7 quai ters at
47i 3d corresponding period la,at year.

on an American contest it should begin %>n
May 30 in one of the four cities, Chicago, Ci
ncinnati, Philadelphia or Boston. If the race
tikes place in England it is to begin on June
ooth.
Rowell when questioned as to the intentions
of Thomas Davis that Gm. Hazael ami Geo.
Littlewood were to leave England on the tu,
postiion that the belt would be walkeJ foi
here, said when he started for this countn
Weston was the only man he knew had

here he learned that Hazuel had challenge^
him, but had afterwarX withdrawn his money.
Hunting; For a President For the World's
Fair.
New York, March 28.— Hugh J. Jewett
declines the presidency of the world's fair.

man to be at the head of such a great
enterprise, I do not feel at all dis
eouraged. The commission •will go
on with the work. Jewett's reasons on will
observe are tangible. He is so occupied with
affairs he has on hand! he cannot find time for
anything else and no doubt as 6oon as the
fact was published in the newspapers that the
office would be tendered him he was besieged
by men interested in the Erie road who did
not wish him to give bis attention to any
thing else.
