Under this caption, in the New York Prpsa, we find a number of instructive paragraphs on the subject of the tariff. We quote oue of much force : The Press taiiff talk to-day is taken from a recent letter or Adam J. Burke, of Albany, N. Y„ to the Albany Citizen, in reply to the free trade speech of Congress man Tracey on the Mills bill. Mr. Burke talks diiectly to the point, and we com mend his words to those who are honestly striving to get at the rights of the tariff question. Mr. Burke says : “Again our raisrepresentative gives as an illustration of the benefits that will ac crue to the workingmen from the free trader’s bill: Suppose twelve pairs of shoes can now i e bought for $30—under the Miils bill they will be bought fur $25.50, a gain of §1.50. By what mental process he worked out this problem so as to get the aforesaid result 1 cannot tell, as the twelve pairs of shoes never paid one cent of duty. The calf lrom which the skin was taken was born and raised in the United States. ' The tannery that tanned it is located in the United States, “The men who made the shoes are liv ing in the United States. Where does the Mills bill raise or lower the price, when everything belonging to the shoes is now produced in the United States ? But our Congressman says the shoes sliouid be made in Europe and be, under the Mills bill, admitted free. Then what would become of our w oikingmen V They would have to be cut down to European wages, and even then they could uot compete, as there is a craze in this country for im ported goods, and they would Hud a mar ket even if we could produce as good an article, and a panic would be the result. Suppose all the articles enumerated in the Congressman’s speech be admitted free, viz: cook stoves, crockery, cheap glassware, cheap cutlery, carpets, sugar, molasses, salt, clothing, shoes, wool hats, furs, ladies’ bonnets and bats, all kinds of farmers’tools, medicines, thread, needles, thimbles, scissors, etc., blankets, um brellas, cotton hosiery, undershirts, win dow glass and starch. All these, he says, can be manufactured in Europe so much cheaper and the poor man will be that much better off. What a misleading state ment. Where will the poor man then get employment? Who will then pay the mason $2 a day to work on a house ? “The landlord cannot rent for over $4 a month. Who will pave our streets? Who will use our shoes or carpets? Where will the money come from to support our local institutions? Who will patronize our grocery stores ? Who will eat the farmer’s butter and eggs ? lie will suffer thus by not having a home market for his products. Some free trader will ask what do they do in Europe where the men have to work for the same wages as our me chanics would have to if the tariff was taken off. I have been very recently in Europe, and what I found them doing there was living without animal meat or any of the luxuries the American work ingman enjoys. “As one Englishman said to me, ‘Our country is one vast almshouse, and will so remain if America don’t take off her pro tective tariff.’ And adds : ‘Do you think Cleveland will accomplish anything for us.’ This Englishman now works in a house on Beaver street. He could riot wait in England until the English representatives opened this country up to English manu facturers. What will the farmer be bene titted by free wool ? How can American farmers compete with Australian farmers ? “In Australia one man and four dogs can attend to 5,000 sheep. In this coun try, where we have severe winters, one man cannot provide winter food and shelter for more than ten sheep. What will be the result ? A clean sweep of that industry. Australia will furuish this country with wool, as she has as many sheep as all the world, aud can produce as mauy more for one-tent'u what any nation on earth can. Should a war break out and England stop the wool, our sheep gone, what would become of 11s ? Just think of it. Worth Knowing, Mr. W. H. Morgan, merchant, Lake City, Fla., was taken with a severe cold, attended with a distressing cough and run ning into Consumption in its first stages, He tried many so called popular cough remedies and steadily grew worse. Was reduced in ilesh, had difficulty in breathing and was unable to sleep. Finally tried Ur, King’s New Discovery for Consumption aud found immediate relief, and after having used about half a dozen bottles found himself well and has had no return of the disease. No other remedy can show so grand a record of cures as King's New Discovery for Consumption. Guaranteed to do iust what is claimed for it. Trial bottles free at Hughes & ltoblnsou’s Drug Store. Philadelphia Press : The New York Tablet, one of the foremost organs of the Homan Catholic Church in this country, administers a sharp rebuke to the dema gogues who are trying to raise the Know Nothing issue against General Harrison, and plainly tells them that their policy will injure none but themselves and the Democratic ticket. The Tablet is giving a hearty support to the Republican nom inees, and it represents a constituency who are not to be deceived by Democratic falsehood nor influenced by a witless ap peal to race prejudices.

One day last week some coal cars were thrown from the track by the giving way of a rail, in the yard. Luckily no one was hurt, and the cars were soon replaced, with the exception of one very large car, which was full of coal and caused considerable trouble. Uoosier. --»-o-—— Something to Think Over. The Petersburg Index-Appeal, by long odds the ablest and fairest Democratic paper in the State, presents the follow ing facts for Democrats to think over: Since Mr. Mills was put at the head of the ways and means committee in the national house of representatives, and it became clear that the house democracy meant an assault on the tariff and a let alone policy as to the internal revenue laws, there have been three elections of importance in the United States. The first was in Rhode Island and the Republicans recaptured a congressional dis trict. The tnext was in Illinois, and for the first time in the history of that State, the Republicans gained control of its judi ciary. The third was in Oregon, and there, al though “the returns are not all in,” the Republican majirity is such as to shame Vermont. The State seems to be almost entirely Republican, in Vermont the Re publicans somtimes detail men to vote the Democratic ticket so that there may ap pear to be two parties: but in Oregon, if the returns are correctly given, they would have to resort to a draft to get men for such a purpose. There is great significance in these three elections. Rhode Island is a manufactur ing State, purely. When a Democratic Congressman was elected there three years ago, the fact caused unthinking democrats to believe that there was a reaction against protection in the old home of protection. The late elections show the folly of this idea. Illinois has been Republican, substan tially, fora generation, but the crowning victory of the party has only just been achieved. Oregon was thought to be a debatable State a year or two years ago. Terhaps it was then. Now, in every one of these elections— and they are all we have-had for a year— the question was protection or no protec' tion. Let the careful reader consider the facts.

Judge George W. Smith, of Herkimer, It. Y.. who has abandoned the Democracy on account of its free trade policy and pledged tiis support to Ilairison and Mor ton, was a friend and political associate of Samuel J. Tihlen. He has served as a Democratic member of the Legislature, as a delegate to State and National Con ventions and in other positions in the gift of his party. His repudiation of free trade is but an instance of the deep dis trust with which that policy is regarded by intelligent Democrats, and it represents a tendency which is bound to carry thous ands of votes over to the Republican cause as the season advances.

The unfounded statement of Demo cratic speakers and writers that the tariff duty on foreign articles, the like of which we produce in this country is added to the cost of the articles, is the merest asser tion, without any fact to sustain it. Look at the facts as they are, and given by the Washington Gazette. The present protective tariff went into operation in 1861. Before that we had a ! “tariff for revenue only”—a tariff which had made prodigious advances towards free trade. What has been the result? To-day there is not a single manufactured commodity that is not cheaper in the United States than it was in 1860 and the other years under free trade. Crockery is 37 per cent, cheaper than it was in 1S60; cotton goods are at least 25 per cent, less; and woolen goods, including dress goods and carpets, lrom 20 to 25 per cent. less. Silk goods, taking them on an average, are from 35 to 40 per cent, cheaper than they were in 1860, and so are all kinds of textile goods. Iron and steel products, including machinery, edge tools, hardware, farming implements, etc., and household goods, furniture, etc., are also much cheaper than they were in I860. Previous to I860 the duty on earthen ware was 24 per cent. The pottery indus try in this country at that time was sub stantially unknown, and England had at that time no competition, and tixed her own prices, and the peop.e of this country had to pay them. The protective tariff raised the duty to 40 per cent., and it has since been still further increased to 55 per cent. Under these duties this industry sprung into existence, and it has crown to spcb an extent, that now our home manu facturers are making two-thirds of all the crockery used in this country. Our home competition has forced down the price in England as well as in this country, and now you can buy as much crockery here for $2.50 as you could in 1S60 for $1, and many descriptions are actually cheaper and are selling here for a less price than they are sold for in England. L)o not these facts disprove the free traders’theory that protection increases the cost of commodities to the purchaser V The Babies far It And the old folks laugh when they lind tiiat the pleasant California liquid fruit remedy, Syrup of Figs, is more easily tak en and more beneficial in its action than bitter, nauseous medicines.

And to this end let the voice of the people be heard,. Therefore, I would suggest that each congressional district meet in convention at some convenient place in the district and select by a majority of the votes of said district an elector for the same. And as soon as the 10 districts of the State have thus selected their electors, that they (the ten electors) meet in the city of Richmond, or some other place that tin y may agree upon, and select two delegates at large for the State, This method would revert the whole matter to the people where ail power properly belongs, an arbitrator, from whom none would dare to appeal. It does seem that the two factions could come upon the same floor as one great concourse of patri ots, looking alone to the prosperity of their compeers and their posterity. Your humble correspondent has no interest fur ther than every citizen of Virginia should have for his fellow man, himself and his posterity. A Republican. Advice To Mothers. Mbs. Winslow's Soothing syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It relieves the little suf ferer at once; it produces natural, quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain, and the little cherub awakes as “bright as a button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for diarrhoea, whether arising from teeth ing or other causes.

To the Editor of the Tribune, Sir: Seth Low, of Brooklyn, appears to have said that he cannot support the nom inees of the Republican party for president and vice-president because the platform does not suit him. There is too much protection expressed therein to meet h s views. Now since when has anything suited Mr. Seth Low unless he had his say about itV He appears to me like an ovei« grown baby that, whenever his mothe (che Republican party) wants him to eat what may be prepared for the head of the family, mother, children and servant, for rich and poor alike, and he does not have his say before it was prepared, kicks and says: “I’ll get square with you yet.” A man of his means can safely say “I don’t care a continental about protection,” but what is to become of us laboring men? Even with protection it is hard enough for us to scrape together the few pennies to make all ends meet. Let Mr. Seth Low kick. The more he kicks the more votes for the party that favors protection. I say to my German fellow-citizens, let one and all rally round the banner of Harrison and Morton, the representatives of the party of intelligence, the bauner-b< arers of that guarantees us protection for our home industries. Peter Schjiidt. New York, June 30, 1888. WIint is Found in a Ton oi Coal. From the New York Mail and Express. A careful estimate by a Broadway chem ist of tne conteuts or constituents of a ton of coal presents some interesting facts, not familiar certainly to unscieutitic minds. It is found that, besides gas, a ton of oidinary gas ooal will yield 1,500 pounds of coke, 20 gallons of ammonia water aud 140 pounds of coaltar. Now, destructive distillation of this amount of coal tar gives about 70 pounds of pitch, 17 pounds of creosote, 14 pounds of heavy oils, aoout 95 pounds of naptha yellow, 64 pounds of napthaline, 4$ pounds of naph thol. 21 pounds of alizarine, 2J pounds of iolvent naphtha, 1 Impounds of aniline, seventy nine hundredths of a pound of toludine, forty six hundredths of a pound of antbracine.and nine-tenths of a pound of toluohes—from the last named substance being obtained a new product, saccharine, said to be 2S0 times as sweet as the best caue sugar.
