Such a course would insure its ruin.

TARIFF COMMISSION. A Calkf* FfHwii MalfMtaafrM TM«Ai|uwit(rkii^«irkU Philadelphia, Octoberlt—At the seasion of the Tariff Commission, Professor 8am ner. of Yale College, on the relation of pro tective taxes to wage?,denied the allegation that protection bronght capital into nee which would otherwise lie idle, and assert ed that the rate of wages obtained here was due to the economic force* at work. There was only one thing that conld reduce American wages to the European standard, and that was protective taxes applied long enough and with sufficient weight Sum ner then took up and undertook to refute the argument that free trade would drive the population to agricultural pursuits and would thus reduce wages and all other remuneration for labor. He who believed that the way to raise wages was to hinder people from getting at things easily and cheaply, or to refrain from the most profitable modes of obtaining goods, mast believe that workmen raised wages when they stopped working and went out on strikes, and low ered wages when they went to work again. Trades unionism and protectionism were falsehoods. The way of prosperity for the human society was by industry, economy and thrift, skill, eneirey, pains taking, excellence, liberty, abundance; and] P.1—1I asMWsial 1I111 III— scarcity and bad work. The protectionism system required a new set of proverbs, such j as these: "Want makes wealth and de ; atrcys prosperity," "taxes are wages to 1 those who have much and produce little," "blessed are the bad workmen and foolish capitalists, for they shall get abundance." I American industries needed protection, be I canse American wages are higher than for . eign wages. That was joining a very wide 1 inference to a very inadequate premises. There was no ascertainable relation be I tween wages and profits. The employer [ tried to keep wages down, just as he | tried to keep uown the cost and waste of raw material, or waste ot machinery Profits and wages might both be high or both low at the same time, or one might be high and the other low. In stead of one being displaced by the other they almost always went together, both high or both low at the same time. The ! above facts showed that protective taxes lower wages, and that bigh wages were not the reason why protective taxes were neces sary. The remuneration of labor was high because the advantages were graat. It would be higher if laborers were let alone to use the advantages without any re straint or interference. The more the case was studied in all its aspects the more thoroughly was the free trade solution of it continued, because becoming entangled in rediculous obaurdities| it was found that all its relations weie simple and con sistent. The next speaker was Cyrus Elder. of Johnstown, l'a., who commenced with the remark that as the Commission "had just been entertained by a presentation of the English side of the question, it was appro priate that the American side should now be prusented'" He read extracts from let ters frpm students complaining that they could not find in the colleges any teaching of the American doctrineor protection. Another free trade argument was read by C'has. M. Sonlson, of New York, a journal ist Arguments followed on various sub jects ana the Commission adjourned. RAILROAD MATTERS. Chicago. October 14.—As a result of the representation made by Passenger Agent E. St. John, of the Hock Island road, to Commissioner Fink, Fink has decided that the Rock Irland shall hereafter receive a full one-third of the emigrant business to St. Paul. The Rock Island has been con tending for this ever since it opened up the Albert Lea route to St. Paul, but ha" not heretofore received it. CcrUfleaica. .•.Tkl?1*0*05- October 14.—Notwithstand ing ttiai tvx,... » -*-4. * :_ »t York yesterday that he fchould not venture to permit the gold certificates to go into circulation unless countersigned in writing by some officer of the government, it is learned al the Treasury to-day that the de partmental series of gold certificates of the small denominations are nevertheless to be issued without signature, and that the implied disapproval by Judge Folger of the decision of Assistant Secretary New to issue the certificates without written signatures is not of a serious character. The Treasury will probably still send to Sub-Treasurer Action, at New York, to be signed, the certificates of the denomination of $:>00, $1,000, $5,(100, and $10,0001 one man can meet the demand for certificates of such denominations, but it would be impossible for him to sign his name rapid ly enough to approach the demand for the gold certificates of the denominations of $20, $o0, and $100. All certificates of these latter denominations, therefore, will he engraved, aud will be ready for distribu tion as »oon as printed. Postal Matter*.

Washington, October 14.—Lieut. lUnen bower to day testified before the Jeannette board of inquiry. The witness described in detail tbe repairs made upon the bull of tbe Jeannette under his supervision at Mare Island navy yard, and stated that tbe work was first class in every particular. He thought the Jeannette was as strong as ( it wua possible to render her, and that the deviations from recommendations of tbe first board were improvements aud added to her strength. He believed he knew who was responsible for these deviations, but • did not care to state. The question was not pressed, though the impression was given that tbe deviations were at the in- | .stance of Captain PeLong. Tbe witness i thought the model of the Jeaunette wa> not suited to Arctic cruiaing. Attempt to Kill a Coairmmaa.

The Tariff Commission la the Iron City—A Customs Court Strongly Advocated. Stalwartlem All Broke Up Over the Success of Ohio Democracy —Effect oo the Several Parties in the Keystone State—The Tariff Issue— The German Vote. Special Dispatch to the thmdtw PmeBCBGH, October 14.—Very little of general interest has taken place in this city during the week just ended, if the sessions of the Tariff Commission held Vie Mw diyrtaiihf ma But since yoa bare had the Commission in the Nail City anything regarding them personally would not be news to your readers. While here the Commission heard arguments on almost every phase of the tariff question, from a protective stand point. The Iron trade in all its varied de partments was represented by able cham pions of a high protective tariff. Washing ton county wool growers were heard in behalf of that important industry, and manufacturers of specialties were given a bearing on their points. One of the most important and able argu ments made before the Commission was that of Joseph D. Weeks, Esq., in favor of the establishment of a "customs court." The idea advanced by Mr. Weeks was tha t there should be estsblished at Washington city a special court for the hearing of all cases whore disputes regarding domestic or foreign customs arise. At present if any one objects to anything in the tariff his only resource is to apply to the Treasury Department for a remeuv. Perhaps ho will be granted a hearing and obtain the remedy be asked, and perhaps he won't; generally the latter. It lies entirely with the Depart ment whether a hearing will be granted at all or not, and if granted is io be regarded* as a special favor. Before a "customs court" every man would have a right to present himself and demand tint his grievance be heard, with just as much right as he now applies to the civil or criminal courts for redress when any of his legal rights have been violated. Mr. Week's argument was very convincing, and the members of the Commission said his idea tallied very closely with theirs on that point, but that sr yet they had not been able to form a plan foi'the organization of such a court. Their attention will be given to the matter, and in Their Btport to Cobknm some such recommendation will be made. This was the last week of the Exposi tion. As a financial schcme it was a suc cess, but as a "show," it did not compare favorably with former years. The large crowds that contributed to its financial success were attracted by special attrac tions, base ball, horse racing, fireworks, etc. During the time it was In session over 300,000 people passed through the 'gates. The number would have been much larger had it not been for an unfortunate accident from a falling gallery, by which a gentleman from Wheeling and a number of others were injured. This gave cur rency to the re|)ort that the building was unsafe and deterred the timid from going to it. Pennsylvania Republicans of the Stal wart tyj>« are "'all broke up" over the news from Ohio. It fell upon them like a thun blindeiT them for a day or two. They had been.relying on a victory in Ohio and count edonit'toput some spirit into thedis beaitened rank and file of the "straight outs." "Democracy and whisky combined was too much for us," they say and lay all the blame on poor old Rye. Now that it is done the next thing is t i turn the Buckeye defeats to a Keystone advantage. They say now: "The defeat was a good thing for us; it will show Republicans that the party is in danger, and it will cause large desertions from the ranks of the Independents. The loss we have sustained in Congressmen puts the tariff in peril, and Pennsylvania Repub licans and all protectionists will rally to the support of the 'party of the tarifl' and this issue will save us." In the first place it will not cause many desertions from the Independents. Most of the men identified with that party would rather see a Democratic victory than a straight Republican vi:tory, or to put it in their own words, "would rather see the Democratic party or any party in power, than see affairs in the hands of one man, and that man Dou Cameron." The tariff cry will not be a very effective scare crow, either. The Democrats have had the good sense to nom inate pronounced tariff men in districts where it was desirable. In one Of our dis tricts the Hon. James H. Hopkins has been nominated, a gentleman who has ■ already represented this-City in Congress with credit, and Who haa written a ringing tariff letter in accepting the nomination. In the other district they have made no nomina tion against Hon. Thomas M. Bayne, the Independent who created such a sensation last winter by his attack upon 1'resident Arthur. The truth is that No Anti-Tariff Party can live in Pennsylvania as long as public sentiment remains as it is on that question, and here the Democratic party is jnst as much of a tariff party as the Repubican party. Self-preservation is the first law of nature, and it can be set down for a truth that 110 Congressman is going to advocate anything he knows will be his own politi cal death. The only way in which the Ohio defeat can be beneficial to the Republicans in Pennsylvania, as some of their shrewdest managers said to me, is to show the party exactly where it stands. "It will put them on their mettle, and from this time forth, on the part of that party, you will see one of the most vigorous campaigns the old kevstone State ever saw*. No*, a stone will be "left unturned. Every voter will be brought to the polls, and if defeat comes it will not be because the battk was not fought." Again It may help the iUpubli cans by making the Democrats even more " sure of a victory than they were before and consequently more careless in the conduct of their cam paign. I sj.oke of this want of energy on the part of the' Democrats in my last, and have the same complaint to make now. They have not yet made ray signs of a can vass, and seem to be simply "trusting to luck," and. the dissensions in the rank of the enemy. As in oilier States, so in Penn sy 1 van ia, there is a large class of voters ready to cast their votes with the majority, and the tide carries these ia which ever direc tion it is setting. The tidal wave from Ohio may carry these votes to the Democracy, and if it does. Mr. Pattisoo ia going to be the next Governor of Pennsylvania. The undoubted tendency of the Republican party towards "Prohibition" will influence the German vote h> a considerable extent and drive it to the Democrats. Tbt 9H— of this city is very strongly Republican, but they are beginning to look on that jarly with suspicion. An intelligent Ocr u,an raid to me tbe other day: *Toe course of the Republican par-y in Kansas, Iowa, Michigan and Ohio shows only too plainly that the party is slowly drifting into the support of the Temperance question. Nat urally tbe Democrata take the other side, and the result will be that tbe Republican party will b. driven to support the Pruiii bitiouists. Before that time comes it will loee nine-tenths of ita German vote." Tbe Hon. J Simpson Africa, the Demo erai»c candidate for Secretary of Internal Affaire, was in the city Ian night. He ha« been traveling ov?r tbe State on his own hook, working up an Africa bjosn. Re be lie re* that the Democrats are going to carry tbe day, butdoea not take quite as rosy a view of *he situation as the average Demo crat He estimates that tbe mtjority of his party will be from 10,000 to 16.U0U.

The bearer of the card, if he be a good Knigh, will refuse to buy or in any way use any articles bearing a fac simile of tbe trade mark appearing on the card. Not only that, but they will not work for any firm dealing in or in any way handling the product of the East Liverpool potters. Besides, we have a recognized understanding With all other trades organi zations that when one branch of organized labor boycott any brand of article, no mat ter where, no matter how, that we shall all do the same. They may change their trade-marks just as often as they like. We have facilities for keeping posted in the matter, and will only have to notify our different Lodges. We will teach those East Liverpool manufacturers that labor is respectable, and that the firms which expect to carry on the pottery in dustry in ObiO must respect it and acknowl edge labor's rights. The order has not been issued yet, but I ejpect it very soon, as lam perfectly informed of tbe prevailing opin ion in the Executive Board when they met here recently* I am ready to carry out their orders. ' The effect of black-listing the East Liverpool ware would be greater tban may be at first imagined. You may think that if the Knights of Labor did not buy at retail that dealers would still keep Liverpool pottery on sale for persons who did not belong to any Order or organized labor. Not ao. We would refuse to buy any other article from a firm which sold East Liverpool brands of ware. This is our greatest argument. We feel able to kill any firm in any business.'1 THfe FIRST PAY-DAY. Mill Workmen la Pittsburgh .n»df Mmppy. Pittsbiruk, October 14.—This afternoon was a joyful one over on the South Side, as for the first time in four months the majority of iron workers on that side re ceived their pay.

WilKaai Austin Makss « Confession of t Mm! Brutal Crime, the Murder of His Great Aant, Tlsn Msunts the Platform as# Launches 0f into Eternity Serene and Happy. Scenes Before the Execution—A Very Successful Affair--He Did the Deed From Drink. • Dakviu-ic, Kr., October 1L—Daring the whole of yesterday morning a chilling rain fell at times in torrents from dark and angjry looLing clouds. Fifty special guards, wrapped in green overcoats and armad wttMliMftgirtrt, crowd that surged in thousands around the jail. Austin arrived in Lancaster about 8 o'clock Thursday morning from Richmond, where be had been taken about three months ago for safe keeping. Shortly after his ar rival hi* photograph was taken, and he was viai ted by his brother, Bob. During this in terview the condemned man seemed to be Mar* Powerfully Affected than at any ether time since he was sen tenced. Taking a final farewell of his brother, his feelings overcame him. Later on Thursday he dictated an account of him self innocent of the murder of Miss Betsy Bland. Thursday night he slept soundly and calmly, and on arising at (J o'clock in the morning partook of a hearty breakfast. After this about a dozen of his old school mates, includiag several ladies and his old teacher, visited his cell to tell good bv. His former instructress, who was greatly affected by the meeting, said she would never have thought that the bright and handsome little Willie Austin, who uaed to make the fire for her of a winter's moraing in the country school house, would ever die a felon's death on the scaffold. At 9 o'clock be saw bis lawyers, and still as serted his innocence. About 11 o'clock he yielded to the solicitations of his spiritual advisers, and said he was ready to make a clean breast of the whole matter. One of the reporters acted as amanuensis, while Austin made the following deposition: Ujlafloiiiruion. Tlii« is niy dyin£ voluntary confession. 1 ciid murder my great-aunt, Ilefsy Hlaad, on the 20th of January. Whisky was tho sole cause of it. I had nothing in the world against her. I had no motive in the world to kill her. I loved her like a mother. She had always been a mother to me. I ain twenty-five years old. I did not rob her or take any other thing from her. When I got home from tLe still bouse I saw on ax at the woodpile, and theii an awful thought came over mo to take it and kill mv aunt. I did take it, and when I got into iter room she was sit ting at the fire knitting. 1 first sat down near the (Ire, and several minutes there after I rope with the ax and struck her with the sharp edge of it. This is all I recollect about the killing. I have no ex cuse on earth to offer for my fearful deed. I want my fate to be a warning to all, old and vouug, white and black. I oiler my self a willing sacrifice on the gallows for the deed. I do hope and believe that the vilest sinner can be forgiven, if he truly repents. I believe that 'iod has given me full pardon. I believe my aunt was a Christian, and I hope to meet her in feid. Vangfiah, but} am not gut ftr'tft "that crime. I am also accused of trying to rob Randall Pettis, but 1 am not guilty of that either. I always tried to live houest. and the murder of my aunt is the only crime I ever committed. I say this in view of im mediate death, and it is all true. William Aotin. Preparing lor Heath. IHiring)the;morning he| wrote a longjletler with his own band to his parents and brother, telling them that he was perfectly willing to die, and urging them to avoid whisky and bad company. The gloomy corridor iuto which his cell opened was thronged during the whole morning, and tliejprijonerconversed with all without re serve. In answer to the query M to what possible motive he could have had in the crime lie replied: "None whatever. I was wild with whisky." From his cell he conld plainly see the scatfold, which was erected immediately in the rear of the jail, against the corridor window. When the town clock struck The hour of 12 M. he said. "Praise the Lord! only one hour to live!" His 8crintural advisors. He vs. Noel, of the Baptist C'burcb, and Peoples, of the Methodist Church, then entered and re mained with himnntil the moment. A ustin was a member of what is known as the Foiks Baptist Church. He besought the ministers to give him good counsel and buoy up his spirit to 1'nrlng the Srairold Nffac. At a quarter |o 1 o'clock all withdrew from tfte ccll except the two clergymen. Shortly after I o'clock the Sheriff, J. M. Higgciibothani, with an armed pos^e, left the cell with the priioner. The jail yard and all the surrounding buildings and streets, as far as the eye could reach, were densely crowded with eager spectators. Austin advanced with steady step, and be gan to mount the scaffold. It waa raining fiercely. He struck hia tall crowned felt hat against some one's umbrellas, and,the hat was knocked off. When it was handed to him he smiled and expressed bis thatlks. It was 1:10 p. m. when the company Took Position on the Hrmtiold. A jKirtion of the 5lst I'salm- was read, and prayer offered amid a deathlike stillness, unbroken except l>y the patter of the rain and the obecene quarreling of some drunken men scrambling for aents. This ceremooy concluded, the prisoner was told he might state what he would to the jwople. He quietly removed his hat and stepped forth, calm and dignified. Not a tremor could be seen on hi* handsome form or a quiver on hia lips. He wore a jet black suit; hisbair was liaht. his eyes blue, his face handaoroe and fair, though slightly flashed.
