It has been the cans' in this way: The law has been ob no.i 'Us to the railroad managers, and lliev propose to make it odious in the .A uf the people of the Wci-t by in- cie;i ing the Imig haul rates. The long haul rates were not inc reased by the rail macs us a matter of protection to thcin selv'S to saye them from losinir on the short haul business. The long haul rate-could have been left tit what 'hey v. ere bt foie the law was passed, and the railroads would, doubtless, have still iicide a reasonable per cent on the capi ta' invisted. Why were not t lie long haul rates increased in the e.i-t as they were in the west? There are two reus lis why th-y were not. One is that compe tition is sharper in the cist than it is in tin west, and an other, and perhaps -troe-er reason, is that the men who own the ladioads of the west are east .-rn cap italists who have large property interests in the east, and who are then-fore on Ceined in preventing a depression in business in the suction where their prop erty interests lie. That is why the west is made to suffer from the efforts of rail road managers to make the law odious, and in doiny which tin y hope o procure its repeal. Iiut the wefct, notwithstand ing the fact that the new law on account of its defects has co.st dearly, does not want it repealed. It has established a principle which they want to see main tained at whatever cost or hazard, vi.. That railroads are sub ject to government control. There is no necessity fur making concessions, com promises or agreements. Justice ami right can make no compromise with wrong and oppression. What the uronl -jf 'llt, west ask, is that the law be cured of its defects. That it be unleaded, not by re pealing cci tain portions of it and making it nugatory, but by so strengthening it thnt it will prove ar. i ffectual safeguard to the people against the exactions of the railroads. The inter-state commission should be given more powir. The board '. ;v; 1 r 1'iroiKl commissioners ot this state is , Lhe pov.er to uiisciutety fix or re duce t ue rates wnen tney are maniiesiiy unju t. Why should no1 the inter-state commission be given such power, if nec essary to render the inttr-titate layy e?tec iive ; 'ihe liepub'ncin believes that eastern capitalists should have a reason able per cent upon their invstrrcnts in iv- stein railroads, but it does not believe that they should be permitted to rob tl!6 people. Why should not the railroads be reouired to make a sy.'orr. report of their earnings, running expenses and capital stock invested ? Sworn statements are required of banks, and railroads being common carriers, why shoved i'ney not a-o be rcquhed to make reports ? From these reports the inter state commission could ascertain the dividends the western raiiio.ins yvcic paying eastern capitalists, and if it were given the power, and cir cumst mces would warrant it, they could require of the railroads to make out new scheduUs, giving to the p..ople oi the v. e.-i as good long haul rates as they do tlu cast. This would be justice, and that is all the people of iuo west ak. Tiie rere-'tit dives from the west in congress should u-e their best endeavors to secure an amendment to the law that will give, t ) their sonstitu nts the relief soucdi" f :".

Om govern ment has undertaken to i!o this and at the same lime protect its own citi.-ns in manufacturing everything possible with its own labor, thus are those who desire to patronize foreign lands and manufae turns for goods that are fully as good and made at home, enabled to furnish a large share of this revenue, and lhe cost of the home in.'ide articles is not increased thereby. Then we maintain this mag nanimous difference from Great Britain we place no tariff on articles which cannot he produced at home thus re moving the la.-t film fiom the eyes of those who would see the tariff a tax. The democrats have howled t hiin-cl vi s hoarse ovr this very thin doctrine of "tarilT is a tax" and are now vainly en deavoring to make the people believe that the tariff bugbear, as thev term it for want of sutticicnt knowledge to tin rwise explain, is responsible for the pi a sent business depression, hen i very thinking person knows that it ison'.y this "tinkering" with the tariff that has c niseil so much c ajilt d to be locked up in vaults" or inyisted in bonds rat her than eXjieiidid iii in iliU f ic! ui i ng intcipii-.es vhieii would employ labor.

TKOU SHaLT WOT. Under this luad the Chicago Inter Oce.ui wades through Mr. Medill for one of hi." f ree trade speeches. It says : '"Thou shn.lt not bear false witness against" the struggling tradesi,n and manufacturers of thy country. To Mr. .TCocp'li Medill this ti mir. udmciit spec ially is !ldrcised, wiiU assurance that whensoever he does the Inter Occam will appear as counsel for the falsely ac cused persons, and will make Mr. Joseph Medill's false accusation to be a hissing and a byword among pat riots. Mr. Me dill list appeared as a false witness against his countrymen, and uno- btiialf of the Cobder; clii'o, of I.ondi u, en Wedn -sday, February 1ft, l.sUO, on which day, and in his Cobden club's Chicago Tribune, he did falsely tJL-tiry in words and figures r,d follows, towit ; A :."u;e.le i liustratiun will show the effect which tin advance in tho MeKiuley hill will have Ta!.e ttife white granite ware so largely used by farmers. A full net now elli for 00. ori?3oll f rcash. The items which make up the costs are : Value ot goods., fi si u". les Da per ceat , 11 50 Package and in'acd neiyiit C oi HoiuU frelL'ht 4 75 Insurance 30 Total $.".l !- If a duty of 55 jier cnt is chanreil on the value of lacliai-s and inland freight that will ue s.3 :30, tlms adding 2S jier cent to the amount of duty now- paid. Moved by this tab; of woe, inquiries promptly were instituted. Messrs. I'itkin &, Brooks being asked to show a full set of w Iiite granite ware suitable for, and as such is generally used by, farmers, did so ; and in answer to in quiry us to price, replied, What a falling off was there, my countrymen ' Asked for a better article than that shown i.t S;1S per full set bearing the brand of "Johnson & Co., England," sets at $20. !?'2, and .i4 were prcducd. But $20 was state;! to be the fuM aver age of price paid fo a full set of white J-Jfam.to ware, "so largely used by farm ers," us Mr. Medill blandly says. Twenty dollars, the reader will observe, ' is just fifty cents less than the sum which Mr. Medill fixes as the amount of tariff duty and package and inland freight. The sixty dollars which Mr. Medill fixes as the price of one set of white granite ware, 'which farmers: so largely use," really is more han the price of three sets of granite ware, at retail. Probably a reduction on even that price would be made to a purchaser of three sets. Very elegant sets of English decorated wsre cun be bought for half of what Mr. Medill, r.s Cobden club's wdtness, states to be the price of plain white granite, and French decorated ware is to be had as low as forty dollars per set. Mr. Medill may taite these truthful figurej into consideration Bud painfully remem ber that it is written, "Thou shalt not bear false witness." The Nebraska City Press strikes a melodious chord in the harp of every Nebraska juror in the following : "We have spoken f the a- tion of the Ken tucky legislature in proposing a law to toir. ;1 circuses ',- produce what they adv. rtise, and we comm- nd it as a ood s ep on the part of the legislative branch of the government. We are gl id this morning to be able to call attention to what seems to be an equally laudable movement on the part of the judiciary, ; There is a case in the courts in New j Y,.rk City hi which the murmur of h certain theatrical enterprise now current ut one of tlm city pUy-houses is the cle femlaiit. In this play, or upcctaclc, or exhibition, or whatever it may be called, if we are correctly informed, the actors are largely recruited from among the ranks of the hofter sex ; and again, if we haye not been deceived they are for the most part young and prepossessing mid indulge nightly in a number of extremely inten Hting dunces, marches, etc., in short, if we have not been grossly imposed upon, the enter tainmcnt is one which the average man would look upon with favor. Now tin innovation is this : It its proposed, to the end that the jury may return an en lightened verdict, to send them, in charge of the proper officers, to the theatre Home evening that they may see the w hide per formance. It occurs to us that a system wholly wrong has been pursued in ihe past treatment of juries. With a round of base ball, comic wperas and banquet- we believe that there will be no more trouble in securing jurors. Let the legis latures of the various states make an aj propriati n each year for entertaining grand and petit juries, and there will bo a greater scramble for the position of juror than there is for g-.vernineut placet at Washington. An exchange says we ull get weary. The business man with his cares, disap pointments and struggles; the statesman wilh ihe ingratitude und lack of apple ciation in his constituents ; the fv.riner with the paras'res and biirnacit'S whicle at'ach to and feast on his Substance; the laborer with his plodding toil and slow progress in reaching the goal of hi:- am bition - uu humble home ; the house-wife with her humble, domestic duties, the cares of those about her. We all have our share of life's burdens : we all i'?c, if we arc fairly good wairiora a the battle of life, scores of sorrows und h 'art-aches. The trouble is, that eacb intep.t on self, has no care for the other and so we go. -u jostling each other in m road too rough of itself, until discour aged, disheartened and over burdened we lay down our loJ-.d, and mother eartlt, the best friend we eyer had closes over U. and the last act in what to thy world has been a comedy of errors w committed.
