By WILLIAM H. BEBN ABJD. WILMINGTON, N. C. EVENING EDITION. Monday, Feb. 26, 6 P. M. SO.T1E FIGTJRBS AS TO A HIGH TARIFF. A writer in the New York Star discusses the Tariff in connection with workmen. He undertakes to show why Protection really oppresses the laboring classes. A few men have grown very rich by manufac turing, bnt the farmers slid two thirds of the laborers are oppressed and unprotected and have grown poorer. The writer in the Star un dertakes to show how the High -Tariff operates in robbing the laborer. We have not space to follow him in even an abstract of his argument. He shows the evil effects of Protec tion in this country from statistics, J and the substantial results of free trade in Great Britain from Free '- Trade. He takes np pauperism in - Great Britain. In 1849, there were ,1,676,000, receiving aid. In 1881, when the population has nearly doubled, there were bat 1,014,000. Tn thara vara in T?.n rrl anrl hnt , 4.

In 1857, there were 429,000 depositors in savings banks with de -" posits amounting to 13,719,000. In 1881, there were 4,140,000 depositors ;,with 180,334,000 deposits. The v wages in England as compared with - JEuropean countries are thus given: "'The differenca between wages paid in Great Britain and in the protected couu tries is very marked.

The waees caidin the one are ac tually higher than those paid in the other. For example, the average weekly wages in ioj uuuuiDg t iraaes in MaesacnuBeats is f la 04. in cottons it is 87.14, in woollens from $6.75 to $10 89.' ... When we add to tbia faot another consideration we are the better able to answer the inquiry propburided above. That consideration i?, that the Tariff haa really increased - the cost of living and has lessened the purchasing power of a dollar. The Tariff has increased the cost of all the workingmen and their families wear. Goods are made higher. This includes food, raiment, bed clothing, crockery, hardware, &a. Oar writer gives a practical test. A cottage is to be furnished. What will the ar ticles oost ? He says: "The first column of the table indicates what the price would be, unincreased by the tariff: , Worth Price.

A CAPITA!, REBUKE. A distinguished Presbyterian edi tor from Chicago has been in the South. In giving an account of a visit to Richmond, Va., he gives his impression of services held by the celebrated Rev. Dr. Hoge, whose sermon he says was the finest he ever heard. The Doctor holds special services for the lowest class of the population the very refuse of civ . l"tion. We copy a part of the edi tor s very interesting letter because of the rebuke he cot for being a meddler which is so characteristic of the North: 'I looked over the audience, expecting here to Dnd a fair proportion of black faces not one ! not a fuce that bad a shade of black in it dod the disappointment wms painful. Aie the block los' sbeep to he left to be eaten by the wolves? On returning to the hotel I found a brother who is eiv n his lime to children's w rs sod aked b m: Why were there no negroes out to bear Dr. Hoge to-night? Do you propose down here to bar them nut of tar- shot of Christ. even in the streets 7 My friend turned to ine with a little dthmce in h s eye: 'Did ou ever tee a rnixrd relinriou meetinir of negroes and Irish in Cbicagi ?' I bad to answer no. 'The low down class of whites,' he said, 'would be the verv last to acknow ledge the mm hood of the colored man. The ihicg would not be possible here. And then he continued on the aggressive: 'Do your great preachers go out nod gather up the Bohemians and Poles, the socialists and anarchists. the drunkeu and depraved, and creach to them like that?' I could not cUim much on that score. -'Well then ' he snid. whenever your northern gentlemen have your own work well in hand, come down and tell us how to ruu outs ' Bur. mv friend continued to inform me, the colored people themselves withdrew from us at the close of the war. Thev dismissed the white preachers, withdrew from the white churches, and formed churches of their own, and they did it of their own volition, and it is all right. As slaves taev weie members in all our churches 'In the church where I was raised, they had one side of it to themselves, and white people were not allowed to crowd them or drive them out, when the church was over-full. We want them t J prosper, of course we do. and there are the kindest feeling, and we help them all we can. It is really remarkable how anx ious the Northern preacher? of all the churches are "to ran" the South ern religions denominations. They j do not give the negroes any equal i .u xt .u ; i; a 1U luol,u,lu c,cu ,u I matters, as we nave mown onen, 9n , Qa . t, o traAaa .u0 nn)nrfA man is in disfavor and heavily handi- oaPPed from the 8tart' Ask fairly intelligent colored mechanic in the South to day who has spent some portion of bis time in the North, and he will tell you that colored me chanics have a poor showing in the North. They are exclusive in their Church operations and relations as any people in the world, but they are anxious to have all barriers broken down in the South and whites and negroes mingled in the same organi zations. The t;nicago editor re- oeived a severe but courteous rebuke, and we copy it with much satisfac tion.

In' their estimation one good act offsets a half dozen betrayjtls of a great party. One Pennsylvanian Protec tionist, who holds his seat by the-favor of the Republicans of his" State, stands in the way o'f the fulfilment of the pledge of the V Democratic party. . , Mr. Edward Atkinson believes in the excellence of oottbn-seed oil even for a diet. He prefers it in his bread, we suppose, to hog grease. Well, that is aooording to a fellow's ''rais ing." If he is fed on cotton seed oil he may acquire a fondness for it, but the people in the South who used to have excellent home-cured bacon and sweet white lard will stand by their early taste. Mr. Atkinson is right in opposing Governmental interference in a matter belonging to the States, but his enthusiasm over doottfred lard finds no echo with as. He said at the recent New York baoqaet: "May it not be held to be an i judicious if not a dangerous extension of the tuuda mental fuctions of the Govern men i when under the pretext of a revenue measure aa act is passed the true inttnt and purpose of waich is to obstruct the sale of a wnole some, nutritious, and cheap article of food Known as oleomargarint t One such act breeds another. Congresa is now called upon to pass an act under the same pretense of collecting revenue for the alleged pur pose of preventing the adulteration of lard with cotton-seed oil I think it would 'be judicious for the representatives of the cot ton industry to ak by whi authority the wholesome, nutritious, and excellent vege table oil of the cotton aetd id tnu9 stigma tized. If there is adulteration in a noxious sense it seems to me that the provision of law should be to prevent the adulteration of cotton-seed oil by the admixture of lard derived from the fat of swine " THE PBiUODlOALS.

Our correspondent had occasion to pass over the narrow gauge railroad from Tarboro to Hamilton, ou the Roanoke river one day this week, a distance of twenty miles, and was pleased with the trip. Capt. Frank Hitch, President, has plaoed on the road a neat and hand some passenger coach for the con venience of the travelling publc, al so a daily mail from Tarboro to Hamilton, thereby makiog close con neotion at Tarboro with tbe A. C. Line, and brmgiog the Hamiltonians in close est neotion with Wilmington and the outer world. Tbe little road is carrying on a heavy freight traffic, connecting at Hamilton with two steamers directly to Baltimore, and two to Norfolk, Va., and transporting goods to Tar boro and other points. Tbe shipment of cotton this season over this road has beeu heavy, and by next fall, when the branch to Kill Quick in Edgecombe county will be completed, and probably ex tended to Wbitaker's. tbe road will have all it can do. Hamilton is on the boom and the number of hands employed by the railroad company will cause the merchants to realise financially. Conoho House entertains well and and is liberally patronized. J.

Tmmoft Pehrnsrv 23. At 4 o'clock to morrow morning all the engineers of be Burlineion Road belonging to tne ijroiner- bood will stop work. An offlcisl notice to tbat tffect.was sent to General Manager Stone to day. Cnioieo. February 27 A couple of suburban trains were tbe only ones to come in over the Road this morning. Blaster Mechanic Bowfand was in charge of one engine and Superintendent Rtnth ran the other Cttioaoo. Februarv 27. A few minutes before 4 o'clock this morning the Chicago. Burlington fc Quincy yards, at trorai and Sixteenth streets, presented their usual appearance. The early morning mail train bad left on time, and tbe switch iifinei were at work. One engineer took a switch train to the Chicago Atlantic Junaiim shortly before 8 o'clock. He aid he had beard nothing of tbe order to strike, and tbat he wouid certainly take his train to the Junction and run the en gine back to tbe round-house. Tbe other engineers of tbe switch engines also said tier bad not beeu ordered to ttnke. At 3 80 'clock there was the usual movement of crs at tbe freight and switching sta u at Nineteenth street and Western veuue. where tbe cars for tbe East and slock yards are handled. Jut before the time appointed for the strike, trainmaster 8 T. rope issued an or der that no train should be moved west bt Chcgo Tbia was taken by the few train men in the vards as a confession that the Company had secured no men worth men lioninf and that tbe road would In a mo ment more be practically tied np At 4 o'clock precisely switch engine No 447 went into Western avenue roundhouse rnree others soon followed it, and the en sineers and firemen quit work. Tbe strike wai on in earnest, and it promises to be the most remarkable ever knowo, for in it the strongest single labor organizttlon in exist ence has been piued sgainst tbe largest radroad corporation in tbe West, and one of the greatest in milesge and wealth in the world. Should tbe strike long continue it is probable that, in addition to tbe f out teen hundred men directly involved, a great ma jority of the fourteen thousand employes of ibe oompany win be thrown out of work Tne twenty five thousand members of tha Engineers' Brotherhood throughout the country are relied upon to contribute of their savings, and tbe industries of tbe fast section of country tributary to the roads wilt be subjected to partial psralyasir. The far-reaching effects of tbe strike can ba in ferred from the fact that tbe it ad has six thousand miles of main and leased lines Kridironlng the Slates of Illinois, Iowa Missouri and Nebraska. From Cbjcago it reaches to Denver, over one thousand miles away, and Cheyenne, Wyoming, and equally as far. Minneapolis lo the north and Sf. Louis to tbe south, are witbm iu reicn tbe leritorry or an empire. Aurora, lu. , Feb. 27. 4 A. M The shui-Uown on tbe Chicago, Burlingtoo & Qiincy Road is complete All operations ceased even before the hour set for the irike. Several traios cme in jost previ ous to 4 o'cloct, abM as soon as tbey ar rived in the yards, one by one, each was quietly abandoned by tbe train men. Tbe early mail train from Chicago had gone through on time, and when the app tinted moment came for the s.rike no bing was stining. and the Company's premu-es were as silent as a cemetery and looked lonely aud desolate in the dull gray morning light After the arrival of these trains the depot master said be did not expect another su ourban tram before noon, as there were no engineers and firemen lo man one, and uutti tbe General Superintendent c uM se cure some engineers and firemen be was unable to sty whether there would be an other train du ing the day The onlv train that left tbe depot up to 10 o'clock this morning ws tbe fast mail, which departed l S o'clock, and was manned by tbe regu lar engineer and fireman from tbe Brother hood. The financial loss of the Company by tbe strike is a subject of curious comment. In ordinary times the gross earnings of the R jad ranged from $2 000 000 to $3 000.000 a month, but owing to tbe rate war in pro cress for some time past among the West ern Hailr ads a large proportion of tbe Burlington business bss been done at an aetual loss- Whether the margin of profit on the rem si ode of the traffic taken, as it was so small as to make tbe strike almost a boon to tbe company, tbe higher officials probably alone know. It is a point that seems to have escaped close atuntion by the engineers, and one which, taken in connection with hostility of the Knights of Libor, may proves fatal weakness to the strike. The chief depots or round-houses of the Rod are located at Aurora and Galesburg, III ; Oltumwa, Burlington and Creston. Iowa; and Lincoln. Omaha and McCook, Neb. These ci'ies are at tbe ends of tbe working divisions of tne Road. At Omaba arrangements bave been made with the Union Pacific Rad to honor all Burlington tickets toommon points, and it is pre sumed that simitar arrangements have beeu made with other roads. y Philadelphia Feb 26 Captain George L Klujio, National Organizer of the Knights of Labor, is authority for the statement tbat tbe Executive Committee of ha Reading Railroad strikers have notified Oeneral Manager Stone, of the Chicago. Burlington and Quincy Railroad, that in the event of a strike on his road and the failure of Chief Arthur to withdraw the Brotherhood of Engineers who took the places of the strikers on the Reading road, they will send him 200 engineers to-morrow morning. , FIRE HECOHL.
