BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. CJ Thursday Morning, March 26J1S91 TASIFF REFORM THE SLOGAN. In his letter to the Indiana" Re form League a few days ago Glover Cleveland urged upon it the import ance of keeping tariff reform promi nent as the issue between the Demo cratic and Republican parties!, and when he did so he wrote wisely. It is not the only issue, it is true, for there are others, the enormous, and in great part fraudulent, pensions, the extravagant appropriations for general and special purposes, subsi dies, bounties, &c, which are mat ters of vast importance and injwhich there is urgent and absolute njeed of reform; but greater than alljthese, and greater than the financial ques tion, which some Democrats are dis posed to bring to the front as the question of absorbing : inter est, is tariff reform for which the people, versus the monopolists, have been struggling for years. It is the first step in the grand march of re form, and until the battle is fought and won on that line there cart be no substantial reform of any; kind. Tariff oppression is emphatically the grievance of which the Ameri can people have to complain, Ithat is that portion of the American people who pay tribute to the comparative handful of beneficiaries of this exor bitant So-called protective tariff legislation, a tribute which amounts in the aggregate, directly and indi rectly, to the enormous sum annually of at least $600,000,000. There is no class, (if we may use the word class in a Democracy where there should be no class,) nor calling of the American people, out side of those protected beneficiaries just referred to, which has not a di rect interest in tariff reform by which the burdens from which all suffer more or leSs may be reduced, but especially the toilers in the fields and the toilers in the shops arid other toilers who earn their bread I in the sweat of their faces, for on tjiem, as the hardest worked and poorest com pensated, the heaviest burden falls, heaviest because they are the least able to bear it. ! What matters it to the farmer, for instance, who must live, meet his current obligations, pay hisl debts, clothe himself and family and edu cate his children out of the crops he grows, whether or not all the; silver of the hills were coined into dollars, while he is cut off from the markets of the world and restricted to one market, an insufficient one. to con sume his products, and in the con trol of men who have the power to make the prices what they see fit to make them ? With a greater volume of money, resulting in what some people. call cheap money, there might and probably would be sopae ad vance in the prices of what the farmer has to sell, but there! would also be a corresponding increase in the prices of rthose protected articles which he has to buy, so that practi cally he. would be no better off than he was before. Thehsappose, thejvolume of cur rency increased to the desired amount, how long would it be before under the present exorbifant tariff system and the financial system, which is controlled in a great meas ure by the protected monopolists, tne larger part or tnis circulating volume would be drawn from the circumference to the centre, from the channels of trade and the hands of the people to the vaults of the Government and of the Money Kings, to be locked up as hundreds of millions now are? Modify this system so that it will no longer ab sorb the money of the people by the extortionate tribute it annually levies upon them, then expand the volume of currency to an amount suffi cien to meet the demands of trade and a new era full of hope and of cheer will have dawned upon our country. But the cause of the evil must be removed before the evil can be remedied. No good nor substan tial reform can come while the many are oppressed, hewers of wood and drawers of water, tribute payers to the favored, pampered few who toil not, and yet grow rich from the sweat of the patient, plundered, toil ing millions. There are many wrongs to be righted, many grievances to be re dressed, many abuses to be correct ed, but the first and greatest of these is the monstrous, iniquitous, plunder ing tariff system by which all suffer and thousands upon thousands of once prosperous people have been brought to the verge of bankruptcy. That reform is the vital question which, of all the questions of State policies, most concerns the toiling bread earners of this country to-day. They should listen to no other, nor be diverted from this until this great, crushing wrong is righted. MINOR MENTION. The Patent Office is one of the in teresting Departments in Washing ton, to many the most interesting Department. April 8th it will enter upon its second century. Its mar vellous growth and the increase in the number of patents annually is sued give some idea of the inventive genius of the American people. In 1790 three patents were granted; in 1890, 26,292. For the first twelve years one clerk did all the work; now the nearly six hundred em ployed cannot keep up with it, and as a consequence applicants must some times wait for months for patents which should be issued in as many weeks. Of course where there are so many patents annually issued embracing all imaginable de vices, it is no small task for the ex aminers to go through and find whether some dew invention has not been anticipated by some other in vention on which a patent had been granted, or whether some of the claims may not- conflict with the claims in others. With the inade quate force, the examinations made are hasty and frequently imperfect, resulting in conflicts and sometimes in expensive suits for infringement which would have been avoided if the proper investigations and exam inations had been made before pat ents were issued. The Patent Office is about the only department of the Government which is not only self sustaining but has money to its credit, and this being the case there is no reason why it should not have ample room to meet its requirements and a sufficient clerical force to keep up with its work. The inventors of the country who pay half a million or so a year into that department, and are frequently pat to great de lay, loss, cost and inconvenience by its inability to keep up with the work are entitled to this. It was humorously suggested when the Governor of New York present ed the claim of that State for the amount of direct tax to.be refunded under act of Congress, that a suffi cient portion of it be applied to the building of the monument to Gen. Grant, which humorous suggestion was seriously taken and has been since warmly urged by citizens of New York. The organ of the col oied people of Boston advocates that the amount due the State of Massachusetts be expended in the establishment and support of indus trial schools. Other suggestions as to its use have been made in other States. Under the refunding act this money is paid back to 4 the respective States to held in trust and. paid back to those who paid it, if they make ap plication within six years, after which the amount remaining on hand unclaimed reverts to the State. It is a trust fund and no State can apply it otherwise than provided in the act without violating the trust. The "money does not belong to the States; it belongs to the people, or their legal representatives, who paid the tax. If there be any State which paid the State's proportion out of the general fund, that is a different matter. In that case, of course, the State would have con trol of the money refunded and could properly make such disposi tion of it as it "saw fit. There may be others, but there is certainly one level-headed represen tative in the Missouri State Legisla ture, Mr. Lane, who represents one of the St. Louis districts. He has a bill before the Legislature providing for the employment of the peniten tiary convicts on the public roads and contemplating a grand system of turnpikes for the State, the first of which shall be a boulevard from St. Louis to Kansas City. Two ob jects are to be accomplished by this, first in giving the State a good sys tem of highways; second, in settling the question of the employment ot the Stata's convicts without in terfering with' honest labor, a question which has for years given rise to more or less discussion in the Northern States, and has fre quently entered as a factor in politi cal contests. But aside from this, as a proposition from a business and a progressive standpoint, it is full of merit. There is not a State in this Union which has such a system of highways as it should have, and none that has roads, even the best, that will compare with the roads of France, Germany or England. By using the convict labor, as Mr. Lane proposes in Missouri, there is not one of them which could not have within two de cades a magnificent system of high ways penetrating the State in all di rections. STATE TOPICS. We do not believe it was the in tention of the Legislature to tax all incomes, without exception, includ ing the pay of the house servant or day laborer with the salaries of men who receive over 1,000 a year, but if the Machinery act is to be con strued as it reads that's what it did, and every one ho receives compen sation large or small for service ren dered to another, or from property not taxed, will have to pay a tax of one-half of one per cent. Hereto fore there was an exemption of all salaries under $1,000, that being the amount exempted as living expenses. Under the new law as it reads there is no exemption. If this was the intention of the Leg islature it is an outrage; if it was not the intention this fact should be as certained, an extra session of the Legislature called, and the law framed as it should be. Our opinion is that if this matter were brought before the courts they would put a rational construction on the intent of the Legislature and decide accord ingly. CURRENT COMMENT. However much we condemn the lynching in New Orleans, we agree with the Nashville American that it is a peculiar American citizen that calls upon the land of his na tivity to redress the wrongs suffered by his countrymen in the land ot their adoption. The Italian who becomes an American citizen should be more American than Italian. Mobele Register, Dem. "I believe," said Professor Perry in a late speech before the New England Tariff Reform League, "that God made this world on ever lasting lines of order. Each should do that which he is able to do best, and exchange the results of his own foresight and effort against the re sults of the foresight and effort of other men." Professor Perry thinks that the attempt made in this coun try to contravene this natural law of trade costs us about $600,000,000 per year in artificial and unnecessary in crease in the cost of living Phil. Record, Dem. The trouble with the so-call ed official explanations of the gigan tic appropriations made by the re cent .Congress is that they do not explain. They throw no new light upon the question as to what amount of money the Treasury will actually be called on to disburse within the year; they give no good reason for the large increase made in a great many branches of the pub lic service, and they fail utterly to justify the items that have provoked criticism as wasteful and without ex cuse. N. Y. Commercial Bulletin, Ind. It is amusing to see people with their faces drawn as if they had swollowed a feather and it was tickling their lungs and they would be happy if they could only sneeze. Now there is no need of "making faces." A bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup will .draw your face back into a smile. "Kings are like stars, they rise and set." They have headache, cuts, and hurts like meaner men, and are just as sure to call for Salvation Oil. t A THIEVISH BEAR. It Manages to Get the Best of a Vindic tive Quartermaster. New York Tribune. The story of the scattering of the ashes of "Puck-" Meyer from the tp of the statue of Liberty recalls his pet bear, which some people say had such afonclhess for liquor that it died from -delirium tremens. That is about all there is to the story of "Puck" Meyer's bear, but this recalls in turn the history of a bear which belonged to a Maine regiment in the war. The regiment was renowned for its fighting qualities. Indeed, it is said that the men from the Pine Tree State who were in that particular regiment could not get up an appe tite for breakfast unless there were some early morning fighting. But whatever the credit that was due and was given to the regiment for its daring and valor, there was one taint on its reputation. It was believed that there were a sorry lot of thieves in the regiment, and a certain quartermaster hated every man in it from the colonel down to the smallest drummer boy. There was no doubt that a good many articles of luxury were stolen from the quartermaster, but it was no easy matter to detect and to punish the offender. Finally in a moment of desperation the quarter master himself determined to play detective, to catch and to hold the thief or thieves. He found the knave at work one evening just after dark and there was a deafen ing uproar a minute later, for, as an officer in the -th Maine, who after ward became a general, said, "No quartermaster who ever lived could lick a Maine bear." The bear gave the quartermaster a beautiful thrash ing and while the riot was in pro gress the members of the -th went for the stores on the double quick. They literally sacked the wagons and for a week the regiment which boasted a pet bear "lived on the fat of the land." TWINKLINGS. Society Man How long does Lent last? Valet Forty days, sir.

While Mr. Blaine is shy and mistrustful of any reciprocity advances from Canada, lest they should have poli tics concealed somewhere about them, his emissaries are en route to Madrid to pour a dulcet tale of reciprocity into the ear of Spain.
