By WILLLi?! H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Thursday Mornikg, Oct. 22, 1891 A FRAUD ON THE WORKMAN. There never has been a political campaign since the protective policy Was inaugurated that the high tariff champions did not assert that the . rr .1 - . protective tann was in tne interest of the workman as well as of the manufacturer because it enabled the manufacturer to pay -the workman good wages, Detter wages tnan ne could pay if there were no protec tive tariff. The manufacturers them selves put this, in as one of their pleas, in fact their principal plea, to protect their workman from com petition with the "pauper labor of Europe" and ensure him such wages as ihe American . workman shduld have. "- - . This sounded very well, and it not only sounded well, but it succeeded, as it was intended to do, in fooling thousands upon thousands of work men in the protected industries and in securing their votes for the can didates of the Republican party. -If there be any truth in it that there is any connection between the wciox; of thi workman and the pio tectioa cf the employer, and that the wsge-i'o: the workman were affected by the tariff, then it should follow as a- logiccl . consequence that every time iLe tariff was raised the wages of' the workmen should be raised pi.cporticr.ateh-, and that if the man "ufacterer coiiid afford to pay, say, one' dollar a day when he had a' forty per cent, protec trve'iarili he should be able to pay one-ihird more when he had a sixty per cent tariff. This should follow, we say, as a logical consequence, but it does not follow in fact, for there is not, as far as known, a single pro tected industry in the United States where the wages of the workmen have been raised since the new tariff went into effect, but there are scores of them where they have been re duced. In the joint; debate at Ada, in Ohio, Gov. Campbell challenged Mr. McKinley to poiat : to one pro tected industry-in Ohio where wages had been raised and he couldn't do it. Coal mining is one of the protec ted industries, and in the coal fields in the neighborhood of IrTttsburg, Pa., there are now 12,000 men on a strike for better wages than they have been receiving, but instead of listening to their demands the com panies are importing laborers from other sections to take their places. - But the manufacturers of New Eng land are compelled to buy their coal from these protected coal mine own ers, when they could buy it cheaper "from Canada if it were hot for the prohibitory tariff that is put upon Canadian coal. Thus one industry is made to pay tribute to another auu fcu buua 10 oenent another in dnstry which sweats its workmen and forces them to work for such wagesas they are. willing to pay. The iron manufacturing industry is another of the" highly f avored and highly protected industries of Penn sylvania, where so many of the prat tected coal barons .live and flourish, Andrew Carnegie, who runs : some pretty extensive plants in .that State, is one of the favored individuals whom protection has taken under its paternal care. "With the kind assist ance of the Government and its pro tective tariff he manages to scuffle along through life (much of which he spends in his Clunie castle in his na tive T Scotland) on a yearly net income from his iron works of $1,500,000. Recently he has found times so hard that he has had to have a shake up in his establish ment and cut down wages so that his $1,500,000 revenue may, not be reduced. But this is not a cut in the wages of the workmen. Mr. Carnegie would not have any one to be under that impression. It is only a "readjustment" all around by which ten per cent, is knocked off the wages of workmen, and if they are dissatisfied "with the readjust ment Mr. Carnegie will not try to compel ; them to remain but will kindly and as cheerfully as his sympathetic nature-will allow permit them to. pack up their kit and strike for other quarters. Mr. Carnegie has become a millionaire out of protection, but if all the work men who -have worked for him in the past twenty-five years put their savings together they wouldn't pro bably amount to one-half his annual income out of their labor. According to the last census and also to State statistics, the average pay of the employes in the protected industries of New England is seven dollars a week, less than a common day laborer receives in any of our large cities. But" this is what they call protecting the workman by the protective tariff. What a fraud. MINOR MENTION. There is onething we always did admire about the average Republi can stumper and that is the colossal cheek that he carries around with him, and the reckless abandon with which they will utter the most bald faced falsehoods when they know that the facts and the figures are dead against them. Mr. McKinley, of Ohio, is rather above the average in candor and fairness in debate," but when he gets in the backwoods, so to speak, where he does not fear contradiction he is as loose-tongued and brash as the most unscrupulous whooper-up. The following, deliv ered at a meeting of farmers a few days ago, is a sample: They talk-about the tin-plate tax. Suppose we don't make a pound of tin plate. The duty on it has been increas ed from one cent to two and two-tenths cents, but you're not paying a cent more for your tin than you did before. The old tariff on tin brought seven millions into the Treasury. The new one will bring in sixteen millions. Supposing we continue to import it all. We've a clear gam of nine millions and your tin isn't costing you a cent more. 1 What could be more false or glar ingly, absurd than this. There is a tax of $16,000,000 or more on im ported tin. Who pays this tax ? Do the manufacturers in Wales pay 16, 000,000 for the privilege ot shipping their tin-plate to this country? Do the importers pay it and charge no more for the plate, than they did before this tax was imposed ? How long would they, stay in business done in that style? It is simple nonsense to talk such stuff and the wonder is not that McKinley would say it but that he should think there were even any people in the back woods of Ohio fools enough to be lieve it. The New York World punctures this falsehood with the following quotations of prices from 1885 to the Dresenttime : "In 185 thejiighest price paid for I C 14x20 coke tin was $4.60; that from that time to 1890 the lowest price paid lor tnat kina ot tin was $ 4.15, and the highest price was $4.85, in 1887. In 1890 the highest price was $5.26 and the average price $4.71. This year the highest price is r$5.80, the lowest $5.15, while Niedringhaus tin of this kind sells for $6.48 a box, in very, very small lots. "In the mean time the - price of I C charcoal tin has advanced from $4.79 to $5.90, andot l O 20x23 roofing tin from $8.85 to $10.20, while American roofing tin, w lat there is of it, commands.the enormous, price ot $16.30." . . But Mr. McKinley did not make his statement in . ignorance, but with the full knowledge of the facts and deliberate intention to deceive. Judge Lowery, of Ohio, chairman of the State -Republican committee, seems to be, if reports; be true, in a streak of the,-blues, and somewhat mad, also, because the government clerks and clerkesses (for the female clerks , are expected: to "contribute liberally") are not responding nu imerously, promptly nor liberally to his call for cash to help elect Mc Kinley. He is quoted as saying that he thinks only one in three of the clerks will go home to vote, and only one in twenty-five will give any cash, because they think they are safe under the Civil Service law and think they can't be bounced, and therefore hold on to their cash and let Mr. ; McKinley 'hoe his own row with the' help of the boys at home. The Judge . adds by way of warning, doubtless, "but I think.some of them will learn, that they are mistaken,", and they pro bably will. The New York - Times takes occasion to call his attention to the clause in the Civil Service law which reads as follows : " . "No officer or employe of the United States mentioned in this act shall dis charge, or promote, or degrade, or in any manner, change the official rank or compensation of any other officer or employe, or promise or threaten so to do, for giving or withholding or neglect ing tq make any contribution of money or other valuable thing for any political purpose." This is somewhat of an impedi ment to the bouncers, but they will probably find-a way to "evade it if they conclude that some'.- bouncing may become necessary as an example to the indifferent and as a matter of party discipline, in view of the com ing Presidential campaign when they will need money worse than they do now. ' Gov. Hill's oration at the unveil ing of the. statue to Henry W. Grady in Atlanta, yesterday, . was an elo quent tribute from one of America's most illustrious citizens, to one of Georgia's most brilliant and, beloved sons. It was a happy address in every particular, happy in concep tion, happy in expression, simple in structure, but grand as a whole, and a noble offering to the memory of one whose devotion to his people and unselfish efforts to bring peace, harmony and prosperity to all have en deared him to all and made his name a household word throughout the land. In speaking from the heart as he did, from the standpoint of a full grown, thoroughbred, patriotic Am encan citizen, with soul large enough to embrace every section of our common country, Gov. Hill did honor to himself, .to the great State which he represents, and to manly Americanism, when he thus touch- ingly, truthfully and beautifully honored the memory and phrased the deserts and the fame of the South's young departed "journalist, orator, patriot" the three descrip tive, suggestive words chiseled upon the monumental stone. STATE TOPICS. We referred a couple days ago to the case of a tramp printer who was arrested near Durham for taking two sweet potatoes out of a field to allay his hunger, was brought before a magistrate in Durham, admitted the taking of the potatoes, and was committed to jail to stand trial. The case was such a manifestly hard one, the meanness of the man who arrested him so disgusting, and the action of the magistrate so harsh, that it aroused the indignation of the editor -of the Globe, and the sympathy of the public, and a purse was soon raised to make up the necessary bond and take him out of jail.; But in the: meantime lawyers offered their ser vices and brought the" case before Judge Winston, who promptly re leased him, and he was sent on his way, fair paid on the. cars, to Ra leigh having in the meantime gotten,- we presume, a square meal. The generous sympathy of .the people, awakened by the indignant protest of the editor, saved Durhanr from the odium 1 which would have been brought upon it by the action of the magistrate and the meanness of the soulless man who would deny a hun gry man two raw potatoes, and try to send him to prison for - taking them. A man like that is too mean to be out of prison. POLITICAL POINTS. . The nomination for President seems to be already given to , Cleveland by unanimous consent.

Norfolk jMnamars, uems : IN PERIL IN THE AIR. Wfcat an Aeronaut T&ought During a Half - " . Minute's Fall. DetroUJree Press. v v , "Therelslsome kind of a fatality pursuing me in Detroit," .remarked Prof. Bartholomew to a reportef of -the Free Press yesterday. "First, Cole was hurt, bv his own follv. rhoweyer, in monkeying 6n his para chute when he was coming down; then Hogan was killed ; Miss Carmp drops. within. ten feet of an unfatho mable abyss , of mud in a sulphur marsh, and to-day I have met a man who witnessed the most narrow es cape from death I ever had. "The incident referred to occurred two years ago Terre Haute, Ind. I shall never forget my experience on that day. A number ol outsiders held the ropes of the balloon while it was being inflated, and one 'of the men amused himself by tying a big knojn his guy. I did not realize the danger from thaf knot until it came near being tne cause "ot . my death. My ascent was unusually high on that day, and it" was the means of saving my life.' "I straddled the bar of my para chute and launched myself off. I felt the cord which held the para chute to the balloon snap and a second later there was another tugr from above. I looked up, and there was that knot on the guy,, swung around six of th parachute cords. forming as neat a half hitch as you ever saw in your life and holding me to, the balloon. -You have noticed that there is a weight attached to the top of the balloon, which turns the bag upside down as it is released of the weight of the aeronaut. The guy rope which was half hitched around the strings of my parachute was also fastened to the top of the balloon, and the latter turned up and began discharging the hot air in stantly as I jumped. The air escaped as you see'it every day here, gradu ally, and of course my parachute descended very gradually at first and not inflating. Down I kept coming, the guy rope preventing the para chute from inflating, and I gave my self up as lost; I wound my legs around the ropes of the parachute trapeze and shut my teeth. The speed commenced to be fearfully accelerated, and I was sure that I had to die, but I was cool and re tained my senses. "Soon the balloon had emptied it self and commenced napping its huge tail in the air with awful swishes. The balloon weighed over 200 pounds and was also pulled down by the sixty-pound sand bag, It came down past me, and as the knotted guy rope slipped down the lines the. parachute opened with sucn a nerce snap tnat it seemed as .if the ropes which supported me would give way. The spreading of the parachute saved my life, for the 200-pound balloon kept on down and broke the six cords held captive by the guy rope as if they had been pack threads. It takes a long time to ten the story, but it all happened in half a minute. I was within 400 feet of the groun'd when the balloon tore away, but my fall was checked and I landed all right. "Everybody thought I was a goner that day, and a more excited crowd than had gathered around where I was to have fallen you never saw. There is no mistake about my being scared that day, but I folded my parachute and balloon as coolly as if" nothing had happened and went to bed for the remainder of the week.. CURRENT COMMENT.

THE TELEPHONE OLD. In Use m India Thousands ot Years Ago. Si. Louis Republic. English travelers and officers in India- who have managed, through favoritism with the priests, to gam access to some of the half-ruined temples of Panj, a city about 200 miles from Madras, have learned that the principles of the telephone have been known in that country for thousands of years. In the city of Panj there are two temples, about a mile apart. In the interior on the ground floor of each there is a small circular room guarded day and night from natives as well as strangers. These rooms are supposed to be the abiding places of "governing spirits," Dut m reality are tne termini ot a telephone line which is laid under ground from one building to the other. The superstitious natives regard these little circular rooms with the greatest awe, because they have had demonstrated to them on various oc casions the power of these "govern ing spirits to communicate with the other temple. When this miracle is being performed, the natives are re quired to make their offerings in one building and make known their wishes and desires. Then, upon im mediately repairing to the other tem ple, they are informed of all they have said and done. To us that is all easy enough, but to the supersti tious native of India it is proof that the priests are supernatural beings. Those who have visited these telephone-connected templars say that the transmitters are of wood, and that they are about the size of the head of a flour barrel. The wire is said to be or neither steel, copper nor brass, but of a substance .closely resembling the latter metal. Old worm-eaten transmitters, said to be 2,00 years old, have been shown those fortunate enough to gain ad mission to these temples. . siberianVruelty. A New Style for Toiling Unhappy Victims. The Russian wardens of prisons in Siberia are said to have invented a new style of torturing the unhappy victims from whom they desire to extort confessions, and more horrible punishment can hardly be imagined. The victims are shut up in a small,1 warm cell, and given salted herrings to eat and nothing else; no bread, no water, nothing but salted, her rings. This punishment causes such violent inflammation of the entire mucous membranne of the throat, and stomach that the tongue pro trudes like a piece of tanned leather, the bloodshot eyes stare from their sockets, and the skin bursts into agonizing boils. Confession whether true or false, is thus extorted in or der to gain relief. Advice to irxotbers. b or Over Fifty Years MRS.
