On tho first , day of -November next, when the present volume closes, the Weekly Star will be enlarged to a thirty-two column paper. .... " By the addition of one column to each pasre and the further- addition of about four inches to the length of the pages, we will be enabled to give our readers from seven to eight columns more reading matter, than we now give, which will make the Weeklt Star more valuable and more interesting than ever before. But, notwithstanding the extra ex pense entailed by ' the . enlargement, the subscription price will remain the same that it now is: $1.50 per year, $1.00 for six months, or 50 cents for three months. ; I 1 We look for our reward in large additions to our subscription list and in increased promptness in the pay ment of dues by our subscribers. We trust our friends will show their appreciation ' of our enterprise by aiding us in extending our ' circu lation. HOW THE TARIFF FAILED TO PROTECT WAGES. There is no question connected with the Tariff that has proved more mis leading than the wage ; questioned. In 1880 the High Protectionists and Monopolists made the working men of Indiana, New York, Pennsylvania" and New England believe that if the Democrats get into power it would prove ruinons to the manufacturing interest and the wages of working men would be severely cut down. This was enough to make them rally to the Bosses and to defeat Hancock. The deception was effective. The laboring men were ignorant of the facts and they acceptedthe state ments of the . employers - without doubt or wavering. They were told that High Protection.' made high wages. There never was a greater error. ' .. Since 1880 there have , been three years of manufacturing under a High Protective Tariff and the re sults have been discouraging.; Fail ures have been numerous.,," The New England manufacturers are not making any money. The iron work ers of Pennsylvania are riot realizing. profits. There -are meetings of the Bosses constantly to discuss "what shall be done?" . They are in distress. They are unable to make money, al though the fifty millions of non-manufacturers are taxed from 40 to 10Q per cent, to keep the manufacturers in the North going. x The other day the glass manufac turers met in Chicago. 'And what did these windowglass : Bosses de termine upon ? Hear it, ye laboring men, and be not deceived farther. They resolved to compel a reduction of twenty per cent, upon each labor ing man's daily wages. If he gets two dollars a day he must lose forty cents. ; We wrote compel" , therril They voted to close up their f actbries unless the laborers agreed Vto the r&- duction. : ' ''-"- . - ' : ' ' ' ' ' ; This is the way a High Protective Tariff protects window-glass makersl The poor people all f oyer the, land must pay to these men a heavy; tax upon every cheap pane of glass they use a tax of at least fifty per cent, and still the manufacturers, say they cannot get - along,.nand " must have twenty per cent, out of , the, wages ot the men they employ.- i You will note that every move-' tnent is in favor of the capitalists i i . f : t-. '.' u never once in iavor pi the hard ly-worked laborers. This is charac teristic of the legislation of our conn try; But as Gen. Durbin Ward said: "A man is worth TYiira than n " w vuciA tm i dollar." ; ' . . - , The New York Daily Commercial ' Bulletin is devoted to finance and commerce. It is an ably conducted paper. We copy , the following in teresting paragraph from a long edi torial upon "Wages and; Window: Glass.", It gays; y ' Zh- thing that' will impreu' the rcauer is the spectacle nf ft. . mtmifiiitnn which has been all along protected against foreign competition by heavy dutiesrang' ing all the way from 40 to 120 per cent., thus forced into a - position of confessed poverty. They say they cannot afford to pay the present scale of wages because they .are unable to compete with increasic for eign importations. : In other words protec tion has failed to protect i JftJsibUng th, case, is it worth while . to maintain these enormous protective duties at all? They r neither provide a profitable home market nor -secure" 46 the workingman--- satiafac tory wages., -If 50 to 100 per cent; will not enable the industry to stand on its legs, : what will ? . In addition to jtho .existing, to 100 per cent., what assurance is jthere, if the manufacturers have recourse to the beg- gar dut r's plea of a little more, that even if; the ties were made higher their position af ter a few years' additional trial would bo any better than it is tnr-day f "The dearer window glass is made, the higher the cost to the workingman,, who, as long as he can get a house or a hut to live in, "must be a purchaser pf it ; ' and by a natural law, therefore, he will insist upon a correspond ing advance in the price of , his labor, in . order to make both ends meet." , " A strong effort , was made in the tast Congress - to reduce the tax on Window glass, but the: success was poor. The 3 tax . is r. still v. high upon low-priced " window glass, an articte used by every householder however fumble. The : proposition t to" tax common r window , glass and cheap Crockery is a 'great, outrage upon millions of laboring people;' It is be- cause of just such injustice &s this that the Stab is fighting to ; put the poor man's comforts add riecessaries upon the free list, and : keep the tax on :, the luxuries on ' wbiske-,' beery tobacco, cigars, diamonds,champagne ftUU BU&.B. ' it.. A FAL.8E CUL1M. The Protection advocates are cer-. tainly very bold.. )They do not hesi tate to declare again.' and again that a xiign arm uoes not? mae . nigu goods. We have seen this assertion made recently in three or four of the leading Protection; exponents. Not pon tent with insisting that High Pro tection makes high wages a most stupendous deception that time arid argument and industrial facts are ex ploding they go farther and declare that goods are no higher : to the. pur chaser because of th high taxes. The American laborer may receive some thing' higher in the way of ; wages than the English laborer receives,' but he certainly has Ltptpay' more for all he consumes except meat and bread. His blankets, his flannels, his coat and pants, his wife's alpaca, his spool thread, his - window-glass, his steel, his iron, his salt, his cups and saucers and plates, his knives and forks, his pocket-knife, are all heavily . taxed from sixty to ninety per cent. Of course ine tax must maice tnese articles " higher. . Why ;; clamor for Protection if it brings no advantage to the American 'manufacturer in in creasing the prices If. there is no increase of price in articles manufac tured how can the laborers be bene fited? Is it not the cry of the Protect tionists th'at High Protection makes high wages ? . .

After day the wina gathered fresh force; and it seemed at . times , as if the sceneV of destruction which marked; the advent of .the great cyclones of September dth, 1881,' were to be re-enacted in our midst.

The long continued gale drove an im nensq volume of water up the river, and as1 a consequence everything on the west side p the river: was .flooded, 'the water being in the; warehouses among the spirits and rosin, 'where ' there were dirt ' floors, and 1 people - were boating .about the wharves.: ! The causeway - was flooded. and it was rurriored that most of the bridge : had been carried away. At the foot of Market street the water was nearly up to the crossing, being higher, . some of the f oldest inhabitants" say, than they, have ever known it. At the foot of Mulberry street the tide was well up in the direction of the intersection of Mulberry'arid Water streets and Messrs. Worth & Worth's wharf and warehouses were flooded; but they had ' 'taken time by the forelock' and moved everything perishable out of the way of the advancing tide. ; r Messrs. Kerchner & Cal der Bros.' ; were not 'so fortunate. Their warehouse was also flooded and about three or four hundred sacks of salt were dam aged. The water was up to and under the New York Steamship Co.'s wharf, but did : no damage. Mr. G. J. Boney had a ware- house on the west side of the 'river which was stowed full of salt in bulk', and at last accounts there was about threo inches of water on the lower part ot tho floor, but at that time the tide had' fallen an eighth of an inch, and he was of the opinion that his damage would be slight i Mr. A.; A. .Wil lard's salt, on the west side of the river, was out of reach of the water.
