THE TiClBUNE AND THE TA It IFF
Inter-Ocean.
Klhhvii.i.e, 111., Jan. 7. To the Edi
tor of tlie. Jnlt r Oman: The editor of
the Tribune tries to make it appear in
his paper on the 5th that he differs with
Sherman s war tarill sdcccIi. as lie t alis
it. If I had control of your columns I
would show the absurdity of each of thu
Tribune's positions. "What is wanted by
all classes in America is high wage, full
employment and low prices on all articles
they buy. Sherman proposes to t:ike off
lutis on sugar, but if sugar comes in
free the danger is that our sugar raisers
will put the sugar land into cotton.
Should they do so then the competition
in raising sugar would be withdrawn, and
the foreign sugar would riso in price
equal to present duty, but if you pay a
bounty then you stimulate production,
and this competition keeps the price of
sugar down more than the bounty given.
With a small bonus this country can make
sugar with less labor than any European
country.
I would say to the Tribune: You will
find the truth of this conclusion in your
own remarks where you say that under
the high protective tariff wool was lower
than it had been for thirty years, 25 centi
pir pound, and that when the duty wai
lowered it rose to 32 centa per pound
precisely. When the duty was high it
stimulated farmer to grow wool, but
when jou reduced the duty the farmers
reduced the sheep and went to raising
wheat. That knocked the price of wheat
down. "Quantum SutJIcit." You say
that the worst paid labor is that in high
protected industries; about 4,500,000 per
sons whose pay you are kind enough to
give on the second column of your truth
ful sheet, and save me the trouble, viz:
Unskilled labor in blast furnaces, Vir
ginia, 82 cents per day; Alabama, 98, say
with board or not; in Pennsylvania $1.09;
Missouri, $1.29. This is better for the
blacks than the price paid in slavery
times in Virginia or Missouri. You say
the iron industry having from 50 to CO
per cent production makes the following
showing: Eastern States. 417 per an
num; Western, f 396; Pacific, $:J54;South
ern, $304; an average varying from $1
to $1.33 per day. Say, don't the West
ern farmer get the benefit f protection
while it keeps all these men from going
to farming, and makes consumers of
farmers' product, and giyei them pay to
buy it with. Bui you are kind enough
to give me the average weekly prices to
workers in woolen goods (having a pro
tection of 70 per cent); in Massachusetts
in 1884 it was $6.90 cents or 1.15 pr
day, while workers in flax, linnen, hemp,
was only (duties 30 to 40 per cent) the
lower the duties the less pay $ ptr
week or 1 per day. Glass workers (with
50 to 100 per cent protection) $7.08 or
$1.2S per day, and to clothing operatives
(40 to 50 per cent protection) $8.58 per
week or $1.43 per day. Now will you
fehow how you willjemploy these 4,500.
000 of workers after you have reduced
these duties, and give them as much pay i
Cleveland himself in his famous mes
sage says that it is these duties that has
enabled American manufacturers to make
articles equal to the foreign article, and
rendered it possible to sell as low as the
foreign article with duties added. And I
that millions of our people use them who
have never seen a foreign article. Also
that the "reduction of taxation should Le
so measured as not to necessitate or justi
fy either the loss of employment by the
workincman. nor the lessening of his
wages." Here the Tribune has a puzzle.
Please show us the measure by which
vou can reduce the tariff without
lessening both employment and wagtF.
It can't be done. Not on this earth.
The editor of the Tribune says that
where protection is highest there wages
ure low and slow to rise. His figures
above do not bear out the statement or
show the fact he speaks of. His figures
on woolen goods (duty 70 per cent)
wages are $1.15 per day for men (women
and children); glass-workers' (50 to 100
per cent) wages, $1.66 per day; cotton
operatives' (duties 40 to 50 per cent)
wages, $1.28 per day; clothing opera
tives' (70 per cent duties) wages, $1.43
per day; while flax, linen, and hemp
(duties 30 to 40) is only $1 per day. As
to monopoly and squeezing labor, I giv
it the go-by, for competition will kill
any monopoly; and increasing the de
mand for labor will increase the price.
In conclusion let me say that all the
questions, answers, and arguments re
solve themselves into the question of
labor.
Redaction in the tariff means freer en
trance to all the products of foreign I
labor, or reduction ol our price of labor;
it means overstocking our markets to the
exclusion of our home products; it means
stopping our mills and mines, and Hood
ing our farma with men now employed
elsewhere; it means an over-supply of
products of farms; it means a general
collapse of very kind of business and
stepping back fifty years into hard work
and poor pay; it means doubling up of
revenue and making ruin everywhere.
But in the place of this folly you
double the duties you stop revenue, and
American labor will create plants, facto
ries, and mills; so much, that they by
home competition will reduce the cost of
all goods, and in place of shipping fuod
we will cat it up at home and flhip all
kinds of goodd at lower prices, and put
them at prices lower than any other na
tions; then we will run our own thip&,
create sailors and become not only a free
but an independent nation.

Tin; sugar trust is to ba investigated
by congress forthwith. It is said tlie
sugar trust at the present time is paying
a dividend of 12 per cent on a capital of
sixty millions, while tlie actaal capital
controlled by the trust is only about
twenty millions, which would make au
interest rate of 36 per cent, amounting
practically to highway roblwry. And
let it be written that trusts and combines
!ave thrived and fattened in 4 wonder
ful degree during the reign of Orover ;
theie we think the country is to be con
gratulated on this first step to chock the
rapacious millionaires, who seem to have
no limit to their grasping desires.

Who is Your Best Friend?
Your stomach of course. Why? Be
cause if it is out of order you are one of
the most miserable creatures living. Give
it a fair chance and sec if it is not the best
friend you have in the end. Don't smoke
in the morning. Don.t drink in the
morning. If you must smoke and drink
wait until your stomach is through with
breekfast. You can drink more and
smoke more in the evening and it will tell
on you less. If your food ferments and
los not digest right- -if you are troubl
ed with Heartbnrn, Dizzniess of the head,
coming up of the food after eating, bil
iousness, indigestion, or any other trouble
of the stomach, you had best use Green's

Teaching of the Hand.
Careful manual training is one of the
few good things that are good for every
body. It is good for the rich boy, to
teacli him respect for the dignity of
beautiful work. It is good for the poor
boy, to increase his facility for handling
tools, if tools prove to be the thing he
must handle for a living afterwards. It
is good for the bookish boy, to draw him
away from books. But, most of all, it is
good for the non-bookish boy, in showing
him that there is something he can do
welL
The boy utterly unable, even if he were
studious, to keep p in book knowledge
and percentage with the brighter boys
becomes discouraged, dull and moody.
Let him go to the work room for an hour
and find that he can make a box or plane
a rough piece of board as well as the
brighter scholar nay, very likely better
than his brighter neighbor, and you have
given him an impulse of 6elf respect that
is of untold benefit to him when he goes
back to his studies. He will be a brighter
and a better loy for finding out some
thing that he can do well. Mind you, it
is not planing the board that does him
good; it is planing the board in the pres
ence of other boys who can no longer
look down upon him when they see how
well he can plane. He might go home
after school and plane a board in the
bosom of hLs family or go to an evening
school to Jearn to plane without a quar
ter part, nay, without any, of the inval
uable effect upon his manhood that it
will have to let him plane Bide by Bide

Showing
Their ife uii'l Habit.
Professor Albert S. Bickinoiv, the su
perintendent ol the American Museum
of Natural History, .at Seventy-eighth
street and Eighth avenue, the other after
noon showed a rejioiter an exceedingly
interesting collection which was received
at the museum .vithin a few days. It is
an nsHortniciit of over 2,200 distinct sjx-ci-inens
illustrating the mode of life (and of
death) of the ancient Pueblo Indian.!.
The collection was made and donated to
the museum b Dr. Edar A. Mearns,
assistant Hurgeor in the United States
army, now stationed at Port Verde, A.
T. Here he h;u. Ixvn for nearly three
years, and has occ ied himself w ith
searching for and exploring tl? wonder
ful cliff dwellings ana other ancient re
mains so common in that region. The
collection which ho has sent on to the
museum is exceedingly line and interest
ing. It embraces : tides illustrating tho
art of war as carried on by these alwrigi
nal inhabitants of America, their various
domestic manufactures, their manner of
hunting and the fxxl upon which they
lived.
Prom the great lepth at which tho
articles were found, thy immense lapso
of time since these vi luges were in active
operation and teeming with life, may bo
estimated. Some of tho articles wcro
found at depths ranging from two to six
feet ; in the caves they were covered with
dust and guano formed by the millions of
bats which inhabit these dreary recesses,
while out in the open plain thev were
covered with volcanic dust and scoria
washed down from the neighboring
heights. The caves are situated far up
(sometimes hundreds of feet) on the sides
of the canyons in which all the streams of
that region are found. They are- prob
ably artificial and were made- by the
ancient inhabitants as protections against
wild beasts and their human enemies.
Among the most interesting specimens
in the collection just received jre fceven
large lava or sandstone mortars, called
metates by the Indians of the present
day. They were and are still used by
the modern Mexicans for grinding corn
(maize), preparatory to making it into
cakes. The method of grinding was
exactly similar to that of the common
mortar and pestle. But the chief in
terest attaching to them is their great
size, several being one and a half or two
feet in length and a foot in thickness;
also the unusual depth to which they
have been hollowed or scooped out. This
depth shows the unremitting toil, energy
and patience of this primitive race, who,
with but another stone as a tool, gradu
ally hollowed out, by hours and days of
labor, a block of stone of tho hardest
kind to a depth of several inches. Each
mortar is accompanied by several pestles,
also made of lava, sandstone, and some
of greenstone, a variety of Java.
Another exceedingly interesting set of
specimens are the axes, of which there is
a large number of examples. Among
them are a few, which Professor Bick
more states he considers to lie probably
unique. These are stone battle axes,
with a pointed end liko an awl, instead
of the usual Hat edge. In the collection
is an assortment of cloth fabrics, and
among them is a needle, found in a piece
of the cloth. This, unlike our modern
needles, although yet very sharp, is of
wood, being nothing more or loss than
the sharp, needle like leaf of a member
of the pine family of trees. The thread
is still in position just as it was left by
some aboriginal lady of fashion, long
since dead and gone.
Besides these articles already notice!,
the collection includes pieces of wicker
and basket work, almost as it came from
the hand of the maker, specimens of corn
grains and cobs, ends, bone awl3 and pin.-?,
stone arrow and spear Kints, fashioned
both from splinters of obsidian (volcanic
glass) and from chalcedony hammers,
arrow sharpeners, stone knives and
many other articles made both
from stone and bone, whose
uses are sometimes not wholly
clear even to the skilled archaeologist.
Among the Taripus tools there is a small,
round piece of wood, which Professor
Bickmore explained was evidently in
tended to produce lire. A soft, pithy
stick, being inserted in a hole in the first
piece of wood and quickly twirled back
ward and forward, the rapid motion soon
sets it afire.
Besides the corn and seeds the food of
the ancient Pueblos is also shown bv a
large assortment pf bones some whole,
some fractured, and some mere splinters.
When found they were in such a position
and condition as to show that they were
the remains of feasts. Other bones, such
as those of man, have also sometimes
become mixed with them. Some of tho
animals whose bones can be recognized
are tho elk, mule deer, antelojxs beaver,
spcrciophilu and gopher, tboth species pf
rat), turtle, snake, turkey, cottontail and
jack rabbit, mouse, musquash, and many
others. New York Evening Sun,
