J tar* went beyond tbe platform of the Re

, mitting a constitutional amendment
to be voted upon and submitting
the question of regulating the liqaor traf
fic to the people, any step backward now
would be moat fatal, not only to the Repub
lican party, but would eventually ruin the
very business which they now sought to
protect. He believed the Legislature
should, as soon as practicable, pass a law
taxing tbe traffic the nai as other busi
ness was taxed, and providing that the
tax should be collected the same as other
tax«s. A provision could be made that any
failure to pay the tax should create a lien
on the premises where the liquor wss sold.
He would show no reeentxnen too account of
1 tbe action ot the liqaor dealers in the late
! campaign, bat woald favor the aaiue leeisla
low saloons would be closed and crime
lessened. Unless such a course was pur
sued, snd a step taken in advance which
woald lesson the evils resulting from the
traffic, he should not be surprised to see
the Prohibitionists poll 10u,(W0 votes a
year hence. He believed all interests
woald be best served by placing a tax on
the traffic at an early day. It was certainly
no time now to change the policy of the
Republican party in this State. Such a
course would insure its ruin.

BEECHER'S LATE MOVE.

Nkw Yokk, October 14.—Dr. Talmage, in
a lecture last night, naid that Mr. Beecher
did just what he would have done unuer
the tain* circumstances, llewoulu not re
main in a denomination any longer than it
would take mm to write his resignation if
he dislikes its doctrines. Beecher's theol
ogy is very different from his (Talmages )
but Beeeherdoes not differ with him any
more than he differs with Beecher. Peopie
who have a small congregation are apt to
dislike a preacher who has a full church.
We both nave more people than we know
what to do with, and we are both happy.
He belongs to the company of orthoUor,
but if he thought that it demanded that he
must go to breaking other|people's heaits he
would not be orthodox five minutes.

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

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.

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

gold certificates of the denominations of
$20, $o0, and $100. All certificates of these
latter denominations, therefore, will he

appears that the increase for the fiscal
year in the number of return^- was 5,124 in
amount of revenue The estima

other countries exceeded tbe entire amount
of unpaid postage mail mattersent to other

The Jeannette Inquiry.

board of inquiry. The witness described in

tbe Jeannette under his supervision at

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>

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."

"How will yen boycott tbe potters4"
"Nothing is tatre simple. In contempla
tion of taking the step, we have prepared
ourselves. Here are samples of the ware
manufactured In East Liverpool. The
trademark ie veiry plain. In case the Board
issues the boyditting resolution—and they
certainly will iftbe potters bold out—I will
issue cards to flrerv member of our order
in the United states. The card will be of a
sire convenient to carry in the pocket, and
one end will be plainly printed with the
East Liverpool potters trade-mark. 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

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

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

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.

and the obecene quarreling of some drunken

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
