Ciirar-mnkine in this city suflers more hom
triidi's-uuionisui probably than any ot;,er ti aile
in the eity. The last annoyance of thc manu?
facturers is caused by a law which the unions '
had pasaud last winter. Under its provision* |
no tobacco caa bo. made up in the houses oi the
Wgar-makers. Now, under proper condition*,
bf oourno, there is no more objection to allow?
ing oiaars to bo made at home than iu the fac?
tories. This law, however, prohibits all such
?work, and thereby strengthens the leadeis of
the anions in their control over their frllow
members. But it also prevents many women
from making a Bring und entails extra expense

to be hoped that the manufacturers will not
resort to a lock-oat to show their displeasure, as
some of them wish. Tbe remedy would be
worse than tho disease. Better try to have the
law altered next winter.'
Nobody need wasto auy sympathy on the
noul-M.iler.10f this and other cities who were
swindled out of thousands of dollars on Saturday
by false reports telegraphed from Jerome Park.
In New-York, at least, their business is unlaw?
ful, aud if they are cheated by other rogues
who are sharper ami more unscrupulous than
theyare,it is not a matter that need gita the
public or ttie police any concern. It is the way
in which the name WM played that makes it
important that the men who played it should
bfl punished. Neither the Western Union nor
tlie public can afford to hare the telegraph whoa
" tapped." No argument ll necessary to show
that the bnainosa Interests of the entire country
would stifler if the sending of bogus dispatches
in this way were of frequent occurrence. For
this reason lt is highly desirable that these
Jerome Park sharpen and their expert assist?
ants should be found out nnd punished to tho
extent of the law. It is possible that our pres?
ent statutes should he made more severe to meet
offences of this kind.
Tit? policy ol delny seems to have been
adopted both hy China and France in pence ne
cotiatiou? regarding affairs in Tonquln. At last
accounts neithtr Power was willing to make
such concessions ns tho other would accept. So
France has gone on strengthening her position
iu Anani ; and while it is not apparent just
what the Chinese authorities have heen doing,
it is safe to say that they hare not heen inac?
tive along their southern frontier. In playing a
slow game of this kind the Pekin Government
lias the advantage over that at Paris. Its sub?
jects, outside of treaty ports, probably do not
yet know that their country li threatened with
invasion by g detested Western Power. Tho
French people, on the contrary, niu-t he pretty
well informed as to the *-ittiation in Tonqulfl by
this tiun>. The Chamber of Deputies meeta
soon again, rind then the Ministry will he likely
to learn that-the French people la master In
France snd does not want a serious foreign

with Chins when lie had a ebsnee to do so

TBE ONR DANGER
Good reports leach us from all sections of
tl,i- state in regard to the Bepoblican oanvass.
There is general satisfaction willi th" ticket.
All "regular" Republicans sro prepared to rots
it, while in commending it and in snnonneiag
his inls Dtion tu give it his rapport, Sin nunn S.
lingers, (.1 Ihilhtlo, no druid .spoke for tho in?
dependents. Indeed, we bsve heard of bul one
: Republican who is against the ticket. There
m.iv he a lew o'hers who will beep him com
i>.my, but practically speaking tin* Richfield
nominees encounter no opposition in their
own pan y.
'lin-, feel is full of encouragement, imt it
does not demonstrate tl:.it we are going t'l will
in November, li merely^ shows that wc eau
win it wo choose that is all. New-York is i
Republican State every time that nil Nea -Yurt
Republicans work as bard sa they know how to
make it Republicen. Why, then, an* we not
sure to win tiiis yc.it, when factionalism and
the consequent eross-purposes ate conspic?
uously absent 1 The answer is that it la not
difficult te neutralize the power of Republican
unity with Republican apathy. The yoong
fellow in the story who waa asked how much
he weighed, replied: "I weigh 142poonda
ordinarily, hut when 1 get mad 1 weigh a ton."
Toe Democrats cannot beat ns this time, The
Buffalo ticket is a blunder. Three onl of tha
live men upon it have already been pi iced
npon the defensive. It is demanded thsl
head of the ticket, Ur. Maynard, exp!.tin li.-,
; position on the temperance question; thal Mr.
, Chapin explain his on the righi ol' a j..; rc
?? ci'.izcii to public furniture ; snd that Mi. Max?
well explain hu on the propriety ot a St.tte
! Treasurer appropriating to his own Indit
j use a portion ol' the Interest on tin* money
; placed In bis official charge. Such s combina?
tion is nat cale.i r.eil lo call out the full Dem?
ocratic rotc. To dream thai it can make any
inroads upen the Republican string th is rank
nonsense.
And so we >av thu: only Republicana can
feat their patty lida timi', ii every mn a of
them works willi the old-time zeal am: ?
cienoy we cannot hut achieve a substantial
victory. We believe that, ss a raia, om friends
throughout tbe - ste appreciate the situation
and an* organising thoroughly for victory.
Tbe advices received by the Btate Committee
Indicate this. We are not able to point, at Cm-,
wilting, to any ("ninty tbat is not doing its
duty. Dot let tbere be no mistake. A victory
which can ii-* well he achieved ss not must nu'
be lost by inertness anywhere along the, line,
The election moana vcr. much more than the

indeed is ihe immediate inc,ming, and tbe

TWO WAYS TO REDUCE REVENUE.
It is strange tiiai many intelligent md well
informed ii.en blander tato tl.e notion 11 mt a
reduction of tevtwbt bram tbe tarin must of
course involve a rcductloa of thtths. In an
elaborate pamphlet recently toned, tbongh it
i? understood to have bein prepared by certain
distinguished advocates of mot ucl lon in Penn
sylvania, this erroneous assumption appears!
it is argued that, if the revenue to be derived
from tim tm ill must be cut down, of neeetstty
tlie dntiea miwt bc reduced, so that n less (fleet -
ive protection for liome industry would lesult.
Tlio mist like ia so conni; on, aud it has bo much
Influence ta shaping the opinions of many aa to
questions ol taxation, that it deserves flerious
attention.
For illustration, let the duty on steel blooms
lip considered. This duty of 48 per cent ru?
euloma yielded in the fiscal year 1882 a tew
pime ol 12,684,936. li it is desired to net lid
?.f that revenue, tbere are two ways to do soi
the duty can be repealed, which would be harm?
ful to important home monntaetareej or Ute
duty eau lie increased so lar ns to prerent im?
portation*, of steel blooms In any ordinary state
of the inn k< ti. If it be Msnmed that a duly of
DO pei cent would have that effect, or a specific
duty ot $115per 100 pounds, then it inalvcs
no practical dlflereOCfl M to thc ainouut of rev
enuc to bc obtained whether the dntjr of fl IS
per 100 pounds be impooed ar no duty at all;
either would practically reduce the revenue bj
about (2*600,000. This ls so simple and
obvious timi one would SttppOM il could not bc
overlooked b? any Intelligent mun. Vet the
application of tim -uno principle In moro cam'
plicated lolm is slmest cons! intiy orerlooki l
Ky uiiiny.
lt is desired, Iel US appose, to reduce (I.o
revenue from this ? Ism ul Imports by ono I.alf.
To cut down the duty to 224 per cent would
undoubtedly increasi the Importations. Pos?
sibly it mhrht more titan double them, so tbs!
an actual increase ol revenue would result, in?
stead ol a (leen-.i-''. Moreover, aftei the reduc?
tion goes fm enongb t" make free Imports nos
.si.iii- iii ooiui '? ition i ir domestic pco?
ducts, it ls extremely difficult to judge how
largcl] the imports may Increase. Hence re
iiiu-tion ul revenm bj thal process becomes ai
uncertain and difflcull matter. Hut it is net
diflli ult, prices abroad and hern being known,
to raise the d li a point tbal it will
sine! ,i considerable part ol t!n-im?
portations, without excluding them
and thus cut off apart of the revenue ii itboul
j the whole, ta like manner, a large
proportion ol Iho.duties embraced in tho tariff
con be treated ia either of two ways witli
j the same
) far lowered as to yield loss, or so far
raised u-? to yield lens.
Other considerations, ol course, affect
choice ol methods. Hie article In question
maybe the material of an iudustrj io impor?
tant thal it- total or parti d would do
great harm, iiritn- thal cannot be
c. mil uiicall that
ii heavy duty would bc uni
densouie to consumers. These and i
matti ell-irent legislator will consider.
Dot the essential thing is to ti itice tbat the
ini in- .iii, m. t iud( li tely
withe . . duty. If il
to build uri an industry, and oilier eircum
? -
tion of revenue can be attained '?> a higher
measure ol protection, and, in tim md, the
mer in this count i may reap tbb bent fl I
of lov.pi [iii- e t'n iti-'li tli limenl and
full '1
Jde to favor an iudustrj by giving it
cheaper materials, the revenue cm be rednred
by abolishing or c il ting do iluty
materials. Reduction of revenue may thus Le
so a meted as to increase or to maintain the
protection of industry, ii Congress -.. i
and luis Uir rcqui lite Intelligem e, either by le
ductlon or by kwi--.i-*?. of duties on tat, m iny
articles. I- mses smaller revenue is desired,
? i
protection accoided to home industry mast be
diminished.
Piobably ii wo ! ' beei much bettor for
the country if, instead ol some duties high

dustries, Congress had imposed much bigh;r

thracite. Dealers in this city and Philadelphia,
and even in Providence and Boston, are aware
that iron of excelleut quality bas been sent to
them from tho Virginian at prices much below
thc cost of irou from nearer anthracite works.
It is to bo noticed, moreover, that tbe other
branches al manufacture aro likely to be built

monopoly prices.
MONET ASD BUSINESS
There has heen another week ol' great
iu the money market, of favorable news as to
and the general condition of business.
and of declining prices in almost every market.
Thia anomaly, so often seen of lalo, is begin?
ning to Sttra0i attention to Its leal cause.
Tho markets have Inen made by speculation
for a long time; the speculative transactions
have so greatly exceeded all others tliat legiti?
mate pun liases or Mles wile ol' no eil'ect.
Tho .speculative fraternity bad autici
piifed a largo bnstneae, great prosper?

had accordingly loaded up. Hut the
public declines to baj at tin? advance ; the
speculators lind themselves forced to sell out
at a loss, ,,in* after another| alni their sales so
far exceed the ordinary purobsses lor consump?
tion, export or Investment that prices steadily
.sink. In hi id', tho public refuses to speculate
this year, and leaves tin* professionals to put
up prices If they canj they arc unable and
h.ive to sdi, nnd so thc public is enabled to
buy what it must have .it ratea whieh would

adversity.
Deners] adversity there is not. The volume
of bnslnoaa is not as huge aa it w,h Inst year

speculation, hm it ls nevertheless very large

lowei prices Laboi i- gen rally employed,
and at i.nr nag's. The obstacle to a genuine
Improvement is a prevaUng want of confi?
dence, and Lh.it is ails ,1 mainly !?> clo
speculation.
The exceptional marketa which showed
strength laal week were few. Cotton advanced
, ' ."i middling uplands, and ranged
higher on all futures, in anticipation d' a
unfavorable crop report, but when
the Bureau report came mu on Thurs*
day it was found less em om liort

any marriage ceremony or any contract or mutual
promise of marriage between .tem, and that she
never understood or believed that she was a wife,
bat knew perfectly that the tie was temporary.
Tne evidence aoemed to support the denial i and the
judge says that if ths pair nover actually agreed
upon marriage, hut only represented themselves to
tho public as married, neither has the claims of hus?
band or wife upon the other. A man's lutroduoiug
a woman na bits wife is net enough to make ber so, if
neither ho nor she understand that the marriage is
real.
Several (.(-el-lions, loo.ely harratsd, have given
many por eons aa impression that assuming tho out?
ward social appearance of wedlock amounts to mar?
riage. Hut tt ls not the law ot tbls State that mere
reputation ls equivalent to a genuine contract.

the woman a ring as they were riding together in a

went to live wlih him aa hts wife; and the Court
adjudged it a marrh??e. Such was the Hayes case,
in wbich a married mau, Iii tbe guise of t bachelor,
courted a girl, bronght a pretended clergyman to
ber home, and we_it through a mock marrlaxe. ex?
pecting to ko tree when be clio ie, like thu scamps iu

bigamy, tho Court saying that neither clergymau
nor ceremony was important; tbe actual agroe

welch .Turlee Folder In tlie Court of Appeals, two or
tbroo years uro, explained the law in language

whoro tbero is an actual thouin an informal, even
an unexpressed, agreement of ui una_r_ must be
carolully distinguished from those in which then' is
SO agreement, but only a pretence.
When the woman declares that there was an
ugrromeut of marriage nnd the man denies it, and a
certificate or testimony of witnesses ls imt fotth
coming, proof that the mm publicly represented ber
who d irelt with him as being his wlf? ls received by
tho courts ru a strong and important corroboration
of brr version. Such was the lltinitley case, which
.it werai stacee attracted public attention. The
woman earuostly und nuder oata asserted un ai<re_

hut admitted that he had intro.lu. ed her -ah his wifo
