PROTECTION INCONSISTENCIES. The advocates of a high protec tive tariff as now understood and ad ministered under the Republican re gime are the most inconsistent men in the world. They pretend that a protective tariff which increases the cost of goods cheapens them, and that by excluding foreign manufac tures, reducing the supply, destroy ing competition and giving the pro tected American manufacturers a monopoly of the home market, that prices will fall. This is sobsurd on its face and so emphatically con tradicted by facts, that it is astonish ing that men should have the cheek to assert it in the presence of an in telligent people. But they don't mean this, for they know better, and they don't intend it either, for the sole object of a pro tictive tariff is to keep foreign manu factures out of this country and to give home manufacturers exclusive control of the home market. Who asks for a protective tariff ? Did any one ever hear people who have not a personal interest in a protective tariff ask for one ? Do the people who buy woollen goods petition Congress to levy high duties to keep foreign woollen goods out of this country ? Do the men who manufacture woollen goods petition Congress to levy high duties on foreign wool to keep it out of this? country so that they can't buy it ? There never was a protective tariff established in this country which was not planned and passed at the dictation of manufacturers who asked it for their benefit, and for their benefit alone. But- how could it benefit them if it didn't cramp foreign competition and thus enable them to fix their own prices and keep them up ? He would be a queer compound of a man who would implore Congress to pass a law the effect of which would be to make him manufacture and sell goodsat a lower price than he had been selling them before such a law was enacted, and yet this is simply what they would be doing if the assertion of these protection ad vocates be true. .We have had abundant proof of the falsity of these assertions under the various protective tariff acts which have been passed, but the proofs have been multiplied in the brief period since the new tariff went into effect. There is scarcely an article of any description affected by the tariff, the manufacturers of which haven't sent out notices to their customers that the prices would be at once ad vanced, these advances ranging from ten to one hundred per cent. The protected American manufac turer goes just as far as the tariff on foreign goods will allow him to go, and fixes his prices just enough be low the prices of foreign goods with the tariff duties added, to prevent these goods from coming in compe tition with his own. If, for instance, a certain line o 'woollen goods was sold at $1.00 a yard, and the tariff of fifty cents a yard was put on, making the same yard when import ed cost $1.50, the American manu facturer instead of. selling the same article at $L00 a yard as he had been doing, would run it up to, say, .45, or as Hear the foreign price with the duty added as he could safely goT j And thus it is all along the line:of manufactured goods. What is the result ? The common purchaser now pays for the same goods whichihe bought before the McKinley tpill passed from ten to one hundred per cent. more. As an illustration. The purchaser who went into a store be fore this bill passed and bought a miscellaneous bill of $100 worth) of woollen goods would pay for these same goods now $135, the $35 being the additional tax put on by the njew tariff. j That's the way the high tariff cheapens goods; and yet the kind of rot they have -been giving us for nearly thirty years, every time they raised the tariff .declaring that the increase of duties would cheapen goods by stimulating industries. ' If what they said was true and each raise they made cheapened goods they would be so cheap now that we would be getting them for almost nothing.instead of paying from ten to one hundred percent, more than;ve have paid at any time since the Re publican statesmen tinkered with jthe tariff in 1883. ! MINOR MENTION. It is notpohtics alone that is at the bottom' of the Lodge Force bill, but there is business rivalry also. There are men in the North, South haters, not many, perhaps, to the credit of that section be it said, but some who have watched with an en vious eye the industrial progress which the South has made, and who would resort to any methods to throw obstacles in the way of that progress. Men of this kind, having neither patriotism nor scruples of conscience, are active and aggressive, and are tireless in "Their efforts to secure any desired legisla tion to accomplish their purposes. They know that the passage of the Force bill would cause trouble in the South, imperil good government, ex cite the fears of capitalists who had invested or contemplated investing money in enterprises in this section, and hence they are for it. The fol lowing extract clipped from a com munication which appeared some time ago in the Philadelphia Press, one of the leading Republican pa pers in the North, and champion of the high protective policy, expresses the sentiments of this class. He says: If the Democrats had never been al lowed to regain control of the Govern ments of the South, Northern capital would never have embarked in the de velopment of Southern coal and iron, and the surest and speediest way to put a stop to this competition from men who are our political enemies, as well as our commercial rivals, is to Car ry through and enforce measures like the Lodge election law. They won't like it, and some of them will be fools enough to make trouble about it, and if we once more get them into the con dition they were before 1876, we won't hear any more about cheap iron . and cheap cotton goods from the South. They will have other things to think about. It seems hardly credible that such monstrous sentiments as these could find expression through the columns of a paper making claims to any thing like respectability, and the fact that they do, shows that the rancor ous sectional animosity is not dead by a long sight. Unbounded cheek is one of the characteristics of the high tariff boomers, and of the editors who champion their cause. The New York Times has the gall to remark interrogatively thus : "With new 'factories going up all over the "country, which will give employ "ment to hundreds of thousands of 'persons, is there any sane or unpre judiced man who will say that the "workingmen are not benefitted by "the McKinley bill ?" Where are the new factories going up all over the country as a result of the Mc Kinley bill ? Who has heard of this besides the scribe who wrote the par agraph quoted ? That factories are eoing up is doubtless true, as there were before the McKinley bill passed, as they would have gone up if the bill had never passed, but he nor any one else can show that one . single facto ry has "gone up" as a result of that bill, although some-have "gone up" in the other sense of that phrase. We published a day or so ago a paragraph about the closing of one of the largest woollen mills in Rhode Island, the proprietors of which de cided to shut down until they saw how the new tariff law panned out. This is only one of several which hsve "gone up.' A couple weeks ago it was wired all over the coun try that there were to be establish ed several big tin-plate works, but the time- for starting these up was put off . for eighteen months. The object of that dispatch was to humbug the people .and xeconcile them to the monstrous increase of the tax on tin-plate, by which the people will be gouged out of $8,000,000 a year more than they were Under the old tariff, though there is not a pound of tin-plate made ifl this country and -is not likely to be for years to come. This paragraph which we quote is in tended for the same purpose, to hum bug workmen by making them be lieve that "factories are going up all over the country, which will give employment to hundreds of thous ands of people," as a result of the McKinley monstrosity. It is' the worst kind of rot. STATE TOPICS The Raleigh Chronicle of Friday publishes a communication-from P. T. Massey, deputy collector, Smith field, N. C, denying the reported death of Mrs. Creech, in Johnson county, resulting from the alleged brutal conduct of D. L. Flowers, one of the party of Revenue officers. Mr. Massey says the whole thing is wrong ; that Mrs. Creech was treated with the utmost kindness, and that she was not only not dead but was at the time of the writing doing very well. Her husband Creech, an illicit distiller, was captured, and put in charge of a deputy to be taken to Smithfield to go before a U. S. Com missioner, but on the way made his escape and has not since been heard from. Flowers, the man who is re ported to have done the cursing which shocked Mrs. Creech's nerves so badly, he says, is a mild-mannered man, and that it is Creech who is the wicked desperado.

The ladies will find the New York fasiion Bazar for November, published by Geo. Munro, New York, a valuable and interesting number. It is not only a Bazar of fashion but a magazine of lit erature. The Overand Monthly for October, presents a fine list of contents. While this magazine contains-an attractive va riety of productions, one of its features is the attention it gives to life, scenes, occurrences, etc., on the Pacific slope, which arc always interesting.

If there shall be an honest, unpurchased vote in this city, Patti son will receive a majority over Delamater in Philadelphia. Only the power of public plunder; the power of boodle in corrupting voters; the power of fraudulent votes, and the power of false returns, can give Delamater any majority in this city. Phil. Times, lud. Gov. Hill has no sympathy with the cowardly or dishonest sug gestion that the tariff issue should be dropped or kept in the background. There has been no more fearless or forcible analysis of the McKinley law, nor any more eloquent plea for a freer trade, than the great Demo cratic Governor made in his opening speech in Ohio. New York World, Dem. An Ohio Republican is quoted as saying of McKinley: "He does not enthuse. He may at a distance, but he does not at home." When we hear the execrations of McKinley that are daily going up from those who are feeling the burden of the outrageous tax-raising tariff scheme, it is not at all clear that the Ohio Congressman enthuses even away fr.-;tn home. In fact, McKinley is .npidly coming to be the most cor di.iiiy detested man in the United States. New York Star, Don, x The employes at Polk's can ning establishment at Indianapolis went out on a strike yesterday owing to a reduction in their wages. They have heretofore received 11 cents per hundred for capping cans, but as the McKinley bill has increased the cost of tin the firm ordered a cut in wages to 8 cents. This shows the practical operation of the new tariff act and indicates just who will suffer most by it. Strange, isn't it, that a law "having for its object tne raising of wages and the lowering of prices of necessaries" not only increases prices but also lowers wages! Chi cago Mail, Dem. EDISON'S BOYHOOD. The Wizard's First Great Invention the Result of an Accident. Chicago Herald. "But nothing is too wonderful for Edison to produce. When I look back to twenty-five years ago and put Tom Edison, as I then knew him, alongside of the Thomas A. Edison of to-day. and note what has taken place, I am prepared almost for anything. Twenty-five years ago, as I sat by Edison in a New York telegraph" office, I little thought that there slumbered within that man the fires of a genius, that would one day startle the world. There was nothing wonderful about Edi son." A plain and inpretentious man," he came and weh without troubling any one with his conversation. Per haps be spoke toTme more than to any other man in -the placed because we sat at adjoining tables. :-' "One day; hisj wife gave out or went wrong in some way. He was working New Haven; I was operat ing Boston. He; started to fix it, and while thus engaged his message came back over niy wire. I called him. i '. t " 'Tom can you explain this?' "He looked for a moment and then remarked: I v " 'Why, that ii caused by induc tion; the two "wires are near each other." ! "He went off j and shortly after ward came seemingly lost in thought. " 'Yes, that's what causes it," he repeated. 'I wonder if we could de vise a plan like that to make two circuits on one wire so that two men could send and two others receive at the same time?' 1 "And he went back to his instru ment. Out of that little accient he devised the duplex telegraph system. Then followed the quadruplex, and these have Saved !the telegraph com pany million of dollars." "Had Edison before that shown any inventive genius?" "He had been working on a tele graph system, but he discovered that the Wheatstone; system I think that is the name covered the ground and he gave it up. You know the rest. Edison's achievements are now no secret. j "The steps leading up to that per fected phonograph, how Edison dis covered that the soundwaves of the homan voice might be so directed as to trace an impression upon a solid substance, are just as wonderful. Edison found it almost accidentally while he was experimenting with a different object in view. In manipu lating a machine intended to repeat Morse characters, he found that when the cylinder carrying the indented paper was turned with great swiftness it gave off a humming noise. That led to to several experiments, such as fit ting a diaphram to the machine, which would receive the vibrations made by the voice. The cylinder, when rapidly revolved, caused a rep etition of the original vibrations, just as if the machine itself were speak ing. That settled the matter, and Edison found that the problem of registering human speech, so that it could be repeated by mechanical means as often as might be desired, was solved. Yes, Edison is a genius." A NEW COTTON PICKER. MiRhty Results Expected from Mr. Camp bell's Invention. N. Y. Journal of Finance. Considerable interest is being man ifested in Chicago in a cotton-picking machine invented by A. Camp bell, of Chieago, of which great things are expected. The inventor claims that it will save 90 per cent, in the cost of picking. A company for the manufacture of the machines has been incorporated under the laws of Illinois. It is called the Lone Star Cotton Picking Machine Company, with a capital of $5,000, 000. George Gurley, of Waco, Texas, is the president; Seth Turner, of Chi cago, secretary. They will establish a factory in Chicago, they say, at a cost of at least 500,000, and will employ 1,000 men. Each machine will cost be tween $300 and $500. Last year, they say, it cost nearly $100,000,000 to pick the cotton crop, and they claim that their machine will do it for one-tenth that sum, and that the quality of the cotton will be im proved. One- machine will do the work of twenty men. The cotton picker consists of a two-wheeled cart, with a boxed re ceptacle to catch the picked cotton. The wheels give motion to the ma chinery by simple cog connections. The cylinder looks like a grain thrasher cylinder, except that the teeth, or fingers of it are from four to six times longer and revolve with the cylinder. They also have another distinct, different and more rapid revolution. The forward motion of the cart corres ponds exaetly to the travel of the lingers or spindles on the cylinder, or mechanically offsets the forward motion of the car wheels, so that while the spindles are permeating all through the cotton stalks they at the same time remain perfectly motion less as far as the forward motion is concerned. Mechanically the fingers extend through the bush spinning on all ripe cotton, and from the fact that there is no forward movement of the individual lot of spindles than in the bush, the plant and the unripe cotton bolls are not injured. POLITICAL POINTS. Refrigerator Raum is billed to take the Indiana stump in the interests of the grand old party of God and mor ality, and he will doubtless afford an edifying spectacle for the untutored masses. Kansas City Times, Dem. The French Chamber of Depu ties is now considering a heavy retalia tory tariff against the United States. Then, probably, our High Protection friends here will commence to howl at the ungracious conduct of France. ;But retaliation is merely reciprocity invert ed. Albany Union, Dem. Mr. McKinley did not raise the taxes to make a campaign fund for his party or to enrich a few men. His ob ject was to make the wasteful American people more economical by charging them such rates as would compel them to reduces some of their expenses. Louisville Courier-Journal, Dem. For monumental lying com mend us to the editors of the Eastern high tariff papers. Baron Munchausen, Eli Perkins and all the liars of ancient and modern times are cast into oblivion by the advance these editors- have made. m exxt ai v uivuwow - of i othcrl:days.fVmahid IW&QH&Wj. LY PERSONAL The Austrian ; Emperor ; sub-j scribed $500,000 for the relief of; the sufferers by the floods in his dominions,, and his brothers gave $400,000 more. ; ; Broca, the French anthrbpolo- gist, declares that the broad-headed race now represented by the people of Cen--tral France are the true Gauls or Celts of Caesar. -Persistent rumors are current in royal circles that Duke Guenthes, brother of the German empress, will shortly marry the Princess Maud, daugh ter of the Prince of Wales. In his letter from Florida Gen. FrancisSpinner says there is little change in his condition. His cancer is slowly growing larger, and he hopes "it will soon carry him to his eternal rests." Gen. Grenville M. Dodge, at the urgent request of Gov. Boies and others, has presented the State of Iowa with a life-size portrait of himself, which will be hung in the capital at Des Moines. Fraulein Helene Lange is said to be one of the most influential women in Germany at the present time. She is a lecturer and essayist, with a remark able power of critical analysis and orighv ality of thought. . The oldest man in the world is probably Osman, of Cavallovit, Turkey. He has lived 160 years, and has docu ments to prove it. He is an Arabian widower, and is supported by a small pension from the Sultan. California friends of General Fremont propose that his remains shall be removed from New York the vault of Trinity church to San Francisco, to be interred probably at Lone Mountain, where a monument will be erected.
