Mr. Smith asked Mr. White if he would

seated and they start-Id. They arrived
at the grounds about 7.45 and went Into
the side show. After going around there
and seeing all there was to be seen they
started for the big lent, Just as they
were going into the entrance Smith felt
some one's fingers in his "at pocket,
where he had $2600. He immediately
grabbed for the hand, but "1133?“ it. He
then gave an alarm. Everybody looked
but could not find the thief. lo the
meantime he went Into the tent and
when about to take a seat missed his
watch. Mr. Smith left the grounds in
search of an officer. Mr. White had
been with him during his two mishaps.
Berng unable to find an officer they
both went home. After sitting up and
talking over the matter for'sonrc time
they went to bed. The next morning
when Mr. Smith got up be commenced to
dress. talking all the lime or the manner
in which he had been robbed. and for
some one to kick him around the block.
When nearly dressed he picked up his
vest, put it on, put his hand in his
pocket and found his watch thorn, run-
ning nicely. Putting his band in the
other pocket he found his money there
also. How to explain this was a prob

awoke, and seeing the troubled saprc.

how be relieved him of these articles
just to see how bright and watchful
Smith was. Of course this was a great

by a vote of 403 to 98. a motion revolting
of America, and suspending American
courts until they comply with the rules
rcgarding the admission of colored per-
sons. it was upon this question that the
late James I. Hayes of New Haven, went
to England to argue against the admis-
sion of the negro into the order because
there is more fatality among them and
that it would probably ruin the Insurance
policy. The decision from England vir-
tually insists that colored men shall be
admitted into the subsidiary courts here.

Progress". Dinner Party.
The tables are placed out of doors up-
on IlIII lawn. Overhead are strings of
many colored “Jap”lantcrns woven into
fantastic shapes and designs. Each
guestas he enters is handed a hand-
some little menu card. Upon this is
printed adiagram of the table, giving
the exact location of the scat which it
is PXchwd he will. occupy. The first
course is brought on and disposed of.
Then there is music, and each person
present arises from his seat and the
gentlemen pass to the left around the
ladies' chairs at their side and take the
first vacant seat. At the end of each
course this same programme is repeated.
“And what for?"
At the ordinary dinner party there are
always a coterie of bores. Their company
no omI desires, yet some one must sit
beside them. It is a host possessing
morr.I than earthly wisdom who can sel-
ect members of a company and arrange
all of tlnsm so that each will be happy in
the enjoyment 0f the conversation of a
plea~ant companion. Doctors. lawyers
and ministers will all talk shop a little.
and some one will be dircornllted by hav-
ing to listen to their chatter during the
entire evening.
Under the new order of things each
guest has anew companion for every
course. Besides, the exercise of chang-
ing places must be productive of good
dlgestlou.
"We've Got to do It or he llcfoistsd.”
Congressman Breckenridge, of Arkan-

Committee, gives to a Washington cor-
respondent his views on the mas-gs of
the llills hill in so straightforward a
manner that they are reproduced here as
a corrective to the dishonest hedging
that has characterised so many of Ms
aparty. Such hedging, he said, was to
him annoying:
“I an s free trader.” said he, “and be-
lieve that the fret-r th trade the hitter
ofl ls the worklugmsn. No, the blll 'u
pound is not a free trade hill, but it Is a
step in that direction. The only fault I
have to find with It is that thorn-p is not

I'll! ‘I’Afll'l' QUESTION.
I Broad Vlow of It. Containing Sugges-
tions to “Citizen.”
Tbs South Norwalk Sentinel In default
of the Democratic party having an or-.
can in that place has set aside a column
of its issusto theatre of that party to
discuss its side of the economic question
of the day. We hope that the " citizen”
who has the editing of this column will
not be sectional in his Democracy simply
because he happens to reside in a manu-
facturing State. He should rise above
the argument presented by one of
Bridgeport’s Democratic manufacturers
when in referring to “ free wool" asserts
that Connecticut has no interest in the
Ohio wool grower. The economic ques.
tion involved in protection is a broad
one and embraces all the North Ameri-
can continentlovger which flies the Stars
and stripes. It Is not. “ the devil take
the hindmost,” but that we should each
extend a helping hand to the other and
that the good of each shall be for the
good of the whole. Any industry which
one-half of what we consume is worthy
of being fostered until it will be able to
produce all that we do consume. A
country as largeas the United States.
possessing all the essential requisitcsto
produce wool should not be dependent
upon foreign nations for a pound much
less for one-half of what it consumes.
No one can read the industrial history of
this country as presented by the war of
1812 and fail to " recognize the folly of
having it repeated by so insane a policy
as is now advocated by the Democratic
party of to-day, and yet this party claims
to be the direct descendant of Jefferson,
Madison and Monroe. Free wool only
presents itself as an entering wedge for
English free trade. Any argument that
will apply to this industry will also apply
to eaohpnd every industry. It applies a
thousand times stronger to sugar, a pro-
duct which we do not produce one-tenth
of what we consume, and further, that
the limits of the section adapted to the
culture of canesugar can never be made
to produce a tythe of what we shall con-
sume. But the Democratic party insist
upon a 68 per cent. protection to sugar
and would place wool on the free list.
The eastern wool hat manufacturer has
no more legitmate right to ask for free
wool and insist that the product of his
factory shall be protected by a 40 per
cent custom tax than the Ohio wool
grower to ask that his wool shall be pro
tected by a 40 per cent. custom tax and
wool hats be placed upon the free list.
The wool hat manufacturer says: I have
no interest in the Ohio wool grower and
use none of his wool, and if free wool
hurts him it is no concern of mine. The
Ohio wool grower can as logically say in
in return, I have no interest in the wool
hat manufacturer, he uses no wool of
mine, gives me free hats and if 'It hurts
him it Is no :oncern of mine. As there
are five hundred wool growers to one
wool hatter, the latter in the end will be
obliged to either give up his business or
else compete with the foreign msnufac
tutor for his home market minus his 40
per cent. protection. Now what does
this mean to the men In his employ.
Does it mean that he must place his la-
bor on the level with the foreign labor
market, or also seek some other occupa-
tion also. is th. to any escape from it?
The agricultural Interests of this country
are immensely larger than its manufac-
turing. The protective poltcy which
benefits the one benefits the other also.
It says to the agricultural interest that
while It may cuchsncs prices for certain
articles you purchase you no more than
compensated by the prices you obtain
for those things you sell, and it says to
the manufacturer that while you may
be obliged to pay more for what you
term raw material you are more than
compensated by retaining the home mar-
ket against all outside competition.
And to laboring men of the country,
you are protected against all ruinous
foreign competition. And it says toall
alike that no matter what prices you may
now pay for any article home competb
tiou will eventually encourage invention
andso stimulate production that your
market will be the cheapest or any in
the world and your labor the most re-
nunerative. ~Bridgcport leader.

Opponents of tariff reform so persist-
ently assert that reducing the tariff will
reduce wages, that it is very clear they
regard this proposition of "mi impor-
tance totbsircsscand relyvou it to so.
cure them the votes of many working-
men. Yet the claim itself is absolume
unfounded, and the least examination
sweeps away the last shadow of support
it may siem'to have.
1. The tariff is a tax (and at preseu
an excessive one), sodas such simply
puts into the United States Treasury the
means which would otherwise be om-
ploycd in production; 1. 0., it diminishes
capital, and that important part of cap
ital, the wages fund. Now wages de-
pend directly on the amount of capital
devoted to employing labor and the
number of workers seeking employment.
Wages must rise or fall according as
the wages fund is larger or smaller.
To claim than that the tariff, which
yearly tends to cut down the wages fund,
raises wages or tends to keep them up
is a clear absurdity.
2. But, it is urged, the thrill ,keeps up
prices, and therefore makes higher
wages. In fact, high prices do not
cause high wages. Wages are admit-
tedly highest in this country in what
are called the extractive industries, such
as farming, stock-raising, lumbering,
oil-producing, and the growing of to—
bacco, cotton, and hemp. But the pro.
ducts of these industries are the lowest
in price, so low, in fact, that we can sell
them in open competition with the
whole world, and in value they head
the list of our exports. This being so,
it is not surprising that in our cotton
mills the highest paid labor produced
the goods which are sold at the lowest
price per yard. High wages are not the
result of high prices, but efficient and
well-paid labor enables the employer to
sell his goods at a low price.
Now these industries which most
largely export goods can get no addition
to their price by the tariff; i. e., by rea-
son of our own tax on imports we can
get no better price for corn or lumber or
oIl or cotton which we sell in a foreign
market. If, then, the tariff cannot even
raise the prices of the articles produced
in these industries (and we have already
found a high rate of wages prevailing
in them), then these industries must be
entirely unaffected by the tariff. We
have this result, then, that in avery
large class of employments in which we
are able to compete with the whole
world prices are low, wages are at the
highest in this country, and consequent-
ly higher than in England or France or
Germany, and all this without any bene-
ficialrflect from the tariff. If, then,
the tariff cannot be the cause of high
wages in our extractive industries, what
reason is there to suppose that. it is so in
any other industries, including manu-
fractures?
3. But it is urged that wages are kept
up by certain protected manufactures
which employ so much labor that their
rate must be paid by any other industry
which hires labor. The truth is that
about one-ninth of the labor of the
United States is employed in protected
industries, and it is sheer fully to con-
tend that this one-ninth determines the
rats at which the other eight-nintbs are
employed. The census of 1&0 shows
the labor of the country divided as
follows:
1. Agriculture ........ . ...... 7,670,498
2. Professional and Personal. 4,074,238
3. Tradoand Transportation.. 1,810,256
4 Manufacturer, Mechanics,
and Mining ............. 3,887,112
Total ............ ..... 17,392,099
If we subtract from Class 1 tbs agri-
cultural workers of Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, and one-half those of
New York as possibly afl'ected by Cana~
disn competition. we shall have left
7,290,842 not subject to foreign comps-
tltion. Classes 8 and 3 are of course urn-
affectsd by the competition ofthoss who
are not in the same country with them,
and of Class 4 at least 2,316,848 are en-
gaged In such occupatlons as are obvi-
ously not affected by foreign competi-
tion, such as bakers, blacksmiths,
