DEAR GAZETTE :—The great free trade
and tariff contest opened in the House
last week, and is to be resumed with in-
tense fervor in that body again this week.
Mr. Mills [not Potter], of Texas, who is
the putative father of the Democratic free
trade tariff bill, led OR in a two-and-a-half
hours’ Speech, in which 'lie piled up the
agonizing horrors this nation has endured
because protective of its industries, with
all the fervor of anti-helium pro-slavery
times. He was followed by Judge Kelly
of Pennsylvania, who in about an hours'
reply, proved that the pro-slavery unre-
constructed moss-back and “bunker"
Democracy never learned anything nor
ever forgot anything. Under a flourishing
system of slavery, where capital owned its
laborers body and soul, under which his
friend from Texas had been bred and
nurtured, he could understand how he
could plead for free trade and the opening
of all our ports to an inundation of- the
pauper-paid and pauper-made products of
the Old World. But,‘ how any free man,
friendly to free labor and the free and in.
dependent American laborer, could wish to
degrade our American wage-workers to
the level of tlie down-trodden operatives
of other lands, he could not see.
The charge made by the New York
Sun that Mr. Mills’ speech was prepared
for him by the “Parsee Merchant," a free
trade Jew in the pay of the Free Trade
League of England, and who has been
giving the Democratic members of the
Ways and Means Committee “points” all
winter, is entitled to more than a passing
credence. Mr. Amos Comings, one of the
brightest men on the Sun’s editorial staff,
is as a. member of the present House, one
of the keenest observers of men and things
in and about Congress, and this informa-
tion is no doubt furnished the home ofi‘ice
of the Sun, by a man who knows whereof
he afilrms. At all events, it is known that
“Parsee” Moore has dined and wiried
and coached the free trade members of
the Mills’ Committee all winter, and the
Mills’ speech voiced Moore, the English
free trade agent here as faithfully as a
parrot. . '
Senator Allison hit the nail as aptly on
the head as any of our public men, when
he said : '
“I am one of those uninstructed political
economists that have an impression that.
some things ma be too cheap; but I can.
\ not find myself in full sympathy With this
demand for cheaper coats, which seems to
me necessarily to involve a cheaper than
and woman under the coat. I believe it
is true today that we have many things
in this country that are too cheap, because
whenever it is proved that the man or
woman 'who produces any article cannot
get a decent living out of it, then it is too
cheap.” The cheap article made by
pauper labor necessitates the pauper and
that country is the happiest and the best
off which is able to pay its working people
the best wages. Cheap goods mean iii
many cases cheap labor, and cheap labor
means the degradation of labor, and that
is worse than high prices and higher
wages no matter how high they may be.
There is no economy or advantage for any
class of citizens in what permanently
keeps down or degrades or oppresses any
other class. Certainly not ill America."
FIGHT ovaa FREE woor.
The Democratic Post here of to-day says
that the free wool clause, which is the
corner stone of the tariff bill, is going to
encounter a hard fight. The friends of
the bill expect that the few New York and
New England Democrats who are liable to
oppose other parts of the bill will support
the free wool clause, and that some of the
New England Republicans and some of
the Western Republicans will support it.
This, however, seems to be an optimist
'siid"yéérerau}1an¥ause..9.f 92111139110115
managers who are grooming Mr. Cleve-
land for a second race, that he has been
admonished to call a halt. The non-
partisan b'tar here no doubt gives a well
founded version of the present conditions
of the matter, when it states that: “The
strongest pressure has been brought to
bear'by leading Democrats to prevent the
appointment. He is urged to consider
the fact that Mr. Phelps has incurrcda
bitter animosity of the Irish-Americans,
that by them he is regarded as the incar-
nation of English anti-Irish sentiment,
and prominent Democratic leaders declare
it might jeopardize the party’s success
next fall to appoint Mr. Phelps. He has
been reminded of the loss in 188401 alarge
proportion of the Irish-American vote,
and that it would be dangerous at this
juncture to arouse their indignation by the
appointment to so high a place of a man
whom they regard as an enemy of Ireland
and as a friend and ally of Ireland’s op:
pressors. Our reporter was informed that
these representations, made to the Presi-
dent by men who havc only the good of
the party at heart, have influenced him to
hold the appointment in abeyance at once
and he may determine to reconsider it.”
PRESIDENTIAL.
Ohio has at last wheeled into a solid
line for its favorite son, and will present
the name of Mr. Sherman before the
, National Convention as long as any possi—
bility exists for his receiving the nom-
ination. This much is certainly due
Mr. Sherman. No sons of Ohio have
given greater lustre to the history of that
great central State than: the two Sherman
brothers, the statesman and the soldier.
As they sprang from an old and honored
Connecticut family, and their immediate
parents ware natives and formany years
residents of Norwalk, our people cannot
feel other than a lively interest in the out.-
come of Mr. Sherman’s frank and manly~
candidacy for the Presidential nomination.
With Mr. Blaine out of the way, no one
will claim that any otherRepublican' likely
to be put before that Convention, will be
as competent and well equipped for the
chief executive office as John Sherman.
His champions claim that he will now
come within a hundred votes of a majority
on the first ballot. Other political wise-
acres lassert that because of this great
strength the friends of all other candidates
will combine against him, and thus put
his nomination beyond possibility. Still
other shrewd and cautious political
prophets are of opinion that the Conven-
tion will be so variously and diversely scat-
tered by reason of the multiplicity of
“favorite sons,"‘that despite his protests,
Mr. Blaine will finally have the nomina—
tion forced upon him, as the Democracy
did in the case of Horatio Seymour. But
June is not far off, and Republicans can
rest consoled by the fact that our party is
not limited to a single candidate and he a
man neither the people nor party want.
wrrson’s POINT.
The provision for appropriating to dig
out the channel at Wilson’s ‘Point to a
depth of fifteen feet at low water will be
inserted by Senator Frye in the River and
Harbor Bill, when it comes before his
committee for consideration, and Senator
Platt will do all in his power to secure its
passage through the Senate, but it will
encounter serious, if not fatal, opposition
in the House, because of the lateness with
which the measure has been brought for-
ward.
ransom“.
Hon. John Buck, of Hartford, has been
spending a few days in Washington. It
is a thousand pities that Connecticut could
not have had the benefit of both
his experience and ability in another term
in Congress. '
Gov. C. M. Bowers, of New Haven, has
been here several days, and left for Con-
necticut Friday. While here he was ad-
mitted to an interview with the President,
and gaveas encouraging an account of the
present condition and future prospects of

free wool. Mr. Spooner, of Rhode Island,
for the New England Republicans, de—
clared that not one of them would be
found voting for free wool. Out of about
forty woolen manufacturers in Rhode
Island he says not more than four or five
want free wool. The number who wanted
it, he says, used to be larger. Then from
Mr. Mills’ own State of Texas there is
some opposition threatened. Mr. Crain
declares that as he represents the greatest
wool-growing district in the country, he
cannot vote for free wool. He says that
Mr. Sayers, of Texas, is opposed to it.
What Mr. Vance, of Connecticut is
.inainly interested in is wood screwa. The
manufacture of wood screws, he says, is a
great industry in Connecticut, employing
1,500 people. It was by the manufacture
of wood screws for all theworld that Mr.
Chamberlain became a millionaire. Mr.
Vance points out as a remarkable circum-
stance that the three articles 'of manufac-
ture in which Mr. Chamberlain is chiefly
interested—wood screws, cotton thread
and tin plate—are three things which are
severely dealt with in the tariff bill. Mr.
Vance intends to make a speech about
wood screws and the . influence of Mr.
Chamberlain on our tariff legislation.
DAKOTA.
The bill admitting South Dakota as a
State, and creating North Dakato a terri-
tory, passed the Senate by a‘strietly parti-
can vote. It is not~very likely to pass the-
House, and yet there may be honest men
enough in that body belonging to the
Democratic majority who will so far yield
~ to duty as to join the Republicans, and
help them. to a majority vote on this just
and equitable measure. Did that far off
State promise a steady Democratic rule, it
would go through with a rush, and the
President would sign the bill as being
justified on every principle of justice and
patriotism. But what a difierence it
makes with political parties in genera1
and the Democratic party in particular
“whose ox gets gored.”
During the heated discussion in the
Senate, Mr. Pliitt, Spooncr, Sherman,
Chace, Allison, and others, battered the
Democratic partisan assaults on the bill
with most damaging effect. Mr. Sherman
was especially successful when he retorted
on Senator Vest’s’ charge that Hayes had
usurped the Presidency, and Sherman by
accepting a place in his cabinet, had
profited by the stealing. The Ohio senator
proved, what 110mm! and honest man
who ever cared to acquaint himself with
the facts could doubt, and that was that
Mr. Hayes was as fairly and truly elected
as was ever a President of the United
States. By every artifice and crime known
to election rogues, it was sought to steal,
purchase and cheat him out of that honest
election, but thanks to the ability, activity
and courage of now Senator W. E. Chand-
ler, that attempted outrage was not con.
summated. Again, when the Democrats
felt sure that the Supreme Court was in
their hands, and originated and urged the‘
passage of the Electoral Count Bill, the
Republicans in the interests of peaceand
tranquility, acceded and joiiied issue with
the Democracy on the law of their own
adoption, and because the dice were not
loaded, as that party’s schemers supposed
they were, we beat them again, and

Talks on the Tarif-
Saturday's New York Press gives, under
the above caption, the following sensible
views anent the. tariff issue, from an old
Norwalk boy:
Mr. Edward H. Bissell, of the firm of
Banning, Bissell & Co., of 96 Reade street,_
manufacturers and importers of chemicals
and dye stuffs, told the Press representa-
tive the following story, which conveys
its own lessons: . ’
“Previous ‘to 1882," saier. Bissell,
“the tariff on the extract of sumac was 10
per cent. ad valorem. This extract is used
in preparing threads, etc., for receiving
.the dye. At that time all that was con-
sumed in this country was imported. In
1883 Congress put a tax , of 20 per cent.
ad valor-em on. it. -This encouraged a
number of us-to go into the manufacture
of the article. There are five or six firms
making it now, and all the sumac extract
used in this market is made by us. In
1882 the price to the consumer was from
five to seven and one-half cents a pound.
’l‘o-day the price is from three and one—
quartcr to three and tliree-cightlis cents 11
pounds.
. “In 1882 Virginia produced from 7,000,-
000to 10,000,000 pounds of sumac leaf,-
which was ground. None of this was
used in the manufacture of sumac extinct
Last year, while the same amount of
ground sumac was absorbed by the mar-
ket, there was raised and sold to ' us six
manufacturers by the ' Virginia farmers
'7,000;000 pounds of sumac leaf, worth at .
a rough estimate $70,000. J '
"More'than this. Our. .manufactory is
at Huntingdon, Pa.’ When we began
maupfacturing, sumac was growing in
thatneighborhood in great quantities, but
it was not utilized. It was allowed to go
to rot. Now our firm alone buys of this
Pennsylvania sumac 1,800,000 pounds,
worth $18,000. One thing more. We pay
in round numbers to the railroads the sum
of $25,000 for bringing this sumac from
the places where it is grown to our factory,
and for then transporting the extract from
the factory to New York, where it, finds
its market.
"The net result is this: The protective
system ll:lS,-III this instance, brought into
being an industry which gives employ-
ment to a number of people. I can’t just
now give the number,‘but there are six
mauufuctories, and this industry has in
its turn iiicreasef the market of the farmer

The Peoples of the World.
The comparative tables of the pppula'
tion and area of the various countries of
the world, taking them with their depen-
dencies, which appear in the new edition
of “The Statesman’s Year Book,” have
been compiled from Prof. Levasseur’s sta-
tistics furnished to the International ,Sta-
tistical Institute, and may be described as
presenting old facts in a new and striking
light.
In point of area the British empire
stands at the very head of the list, the
number of thousands of square miles be-
ing 9,339. Russia following closely with
8,644. ' '
' Though the Chinese empire is but a lit-
tle less than one half as extensive as its
great neighbor, in population China, with
her 404,000,000, tops all the countries of
the earth. The British empire comes
next with 307,000,000 and Russia with
only 104,000,000; while France has but
71,000,000, the United States 58,000,000,
and the German empire 48,000,000. The
comparative rates of increase of popula-
tion in the European states since 1800 also
yield some instructive results. Thus,
while the United Kingdom has since this
period risen from 16,250,000 to 37,000,000,
Russia in Europe from 35,000,000, to 88,-
000,000 and the German empire from 27,-
000,000 to 47,000,000 (including Alsace
and Lorraine), France has only advanced
from 33,000,000 to 38,250,000. Professor
Levasseur estimates that between 1810
and 1874 the entire population of the
world about doubled—the figures being
682,000,000 at the former and 1 391,000,-
000 at the latter period.

The Fight For Pure Food.
The aggressive war waged by the Royal
Baking Powder Company upon the hosts
of adulternted and impure baking powders
sold throughout the country is having a de-
sired effect. The bitter attacksupon the
Royal Company by the manufacturers of
impure goods (which are made doubtless
both from a spirit of revenge and in the
hope of breakingnhe effect of the damag-
ing cxposurcs,) with the official confirma-
tion of the charges which in turn have
come from various State authorities fully
corroborating the statements originally
made by the Royal Company, have awak-
ened a wholesome public sentiment in fa-
vor of the repressive laws, which means
mischief to the illegitimate traffic. The
public has probably been as much amused
by these intemperate and ridculous attacks
upon the Royal Company as that company
has been, doubtless, proud to receive
them.
The Royal Baking Powder Company set
out sometimg a_go _t_o_exp_qsg_the charac r
uuuinclnt
baking powders. Haviugfouud from an ex-
amination of many specimens that there was
a large number of actually injurious pow-
ders in the market, they brought the mat-
ter before the public. and denounced the
makers by name in the press and to the
authorities. The affair was taken up by
physicians, Boards of Health and Legisla-
tures throughout the country, chemists
were employed to test the various pow-
ders in the market, and the Government
itself directed analyses to be made before
it would purchase the supplies needed for
army, navy and Indian uses.
The result justified the charges made by
the Royal Company. Not only were the
majority of baking powders in the market
found to be largely adulterated, 'but many
of them were ascertained to contain alum
and other poisonous ingredients to such an
extent as to render them positively unsafe
for use in human food. As a result many
of these injurious mixtures were driven
out of the market, and the sale of all se-
riously interfered with. No occurcncc of
recent date has been so far reaching as
this in its beneficial influence upon the
public health, and the boldness of Royal
such a warfare, and their energy in carry.
ing it forward with such important results,
were universally commented upon and ap-
preciated. In making the charges they
did not hesitate to enter into competition
with every other baking powder in the
country, and it is a public 9 .tisfaction that
in the ofiicial tests by the Government and
State chemists, and by the Boards of
Health, the Royal Baking Powder has
been declared to be superior to all others
in strength, purity amflwholcsomeuess,
and absolutely pure and free from all in-
ferior substances.
From recent official reports it is evident
that the alum and otherwise impure goods
have again come upon the market in dan-
gerous quantities, and their old enemy,
the Royal, is§again upon the war path. In
continuing its warfare against these goods
the Royal is meeting with the old time op;
position and abuse. The public, however,
will appreciate, as heretofore, both the ob-
ject of the “alunitmcn” and the action of
the Royal Company, and. award full jus-
tice to the company that so fearlessly
stands up for its protection from such ad-
venturers.

use will be followed by calm repose, and
natural, refreshing sleep. For nervous.
ness, nervous debility, dcspondency and
depression of the mind it is a perfect spec.
iflc, and‘its effects wonderful. For neu-
ralgia, rheumatism, paralysis, numbness,
trembling and insanity, it is the only rec-

In an article on men who have re re-

York Evening Sun says after Hon. 0. S.
Ferry was transferred from the house to
the senate he gradually but surely drifted
away from the republican party. There
is but one mistake in the Sun’s statement
and that is the lack of truth. Senator
Ferry was true to the last to the princi-
ples of~ the party which had honored him,
though he often opposed measures of the
party when Iie believed it, to be wron, .
hat was as far as he ever “drifted.” n
1872 he was an ardent advocate of the re-
election of President Grant and one
stormy night in the fall of that year prc-
sided at a republican mass meeting held
at Lockwood's hall, in Norwalk and made
a short address in which he took occasion
to severely condemn the scandalous
method of political warfare then in use
by both parties. “I am astonished and
shocked,” he‘said,‘ “when I- read it or
hear it." His advice was to drop it and
present to the peeple for their considera;
tion the real live issues of the times. Sen—
ator Ferry was then’ suffering terribly
from the disease which finally caused his
death and while delivering the address
was obliged to lean on the small desk on
the platform for support. But though he
wasracked with bodily pain there was no
diminution of his eloquence or mental
'VlgOl‘. It was his last campaign speech
“"‘iuwe think, his last appearance ata
political rally. The other speakers at the
meeting. were Senator Cra in, of New
Hampshire, and Rev W. H. homas who
was then pastor of the Methodist church
at South'Norwalk. We fail to see what
there is in support of the Sun’s assertion
that Senator Ferry drifted away from the
republican party.——Bridgeport Post.

Woman’l Belief.
“Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot
heal,” whether arising from physical, men-
tal,lor moral sources. The promises and
consolations of the gospel furnish abundant
remediesfer all spiritual or mental woes,
and the Creator has stored, in the kingdom
of Nature, remediesfor every physical ail-
ment. For ages there remedies were allow-
ed to lie dormant, through the ignorance of
mankind as to their uses, and for ages more
but little attention was given to remedies
for the peculiar afflictions of woman, who
was looked 'upon and treated as a slave by
lordly, and then brutal man, and her suffer-
ing regarded with beastly indifference. .In
later times, science and Christian philan-
tliropy have come to her relief, devising
remedies for her peeuliar weaknesses, which
have been combined in Dr. Pierce’s Favor"
ite Prescription, a remedy that cures the
pains, aches, nausea, displacements, wasting
and debilitating afliictions' to which sheis
constantly exposed. “Favorite Prescrip-
tion” is the only medicine for women,
sold .by druggists, under a positive guaran-
tee from the manufacturers, that it will give
satisfaction in every case, or money‘will be
refunded. This guarantee has been printed
on the bottle-wrapper, and faithfully carried
out for many years.
Advice to Mothers.
-—Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup, for
children teething, is the prescription- of
one of the best female nurses and phy-
Sicians in the United States, and has been
-used for forty years with never-failing
success by millions 'of mothers for their
children. During the process of teething
its value is incalculable. It relieves the
child from pain, cures dysentery and
colic, By giving health to the child
it rests the inother.‘ Price 25 cents a
