L OXGS TllEET ON PROTECTION.
General Longstreet, one of the best
and bravest of men, a true and sincere
friend of the South, has written a con
gratulatory letter to II. Clay Evans, re
publican congressman elect from tin
Chattanooga, Tenn., district, wherein h
expresses not only his own sentiment
but those of the leading men of the New
South. He said in substance:
"Chattanooga is the center pioneer ol
the New South, and, being one of th;
tirst cities to elect a republican congress
man pledged to the protection of
American liberty and American indus
tries, she has laid out a path to indus
trial supremacy that her sister cities
would do well to imitate.
Our party has to see that Mr. Evans
and every man who is fairly elected,
shall take his seat. If there were more
'bobtailcrs' in the executive chairs of
the southern states, there would be less
complaint about a suppressed vote. But
for the Morrill tariff of l;sGl, Chattanno
oga would now be in swaddling clothes.
Nothing is so timid and cautious ns I
capital, and to get into your midst it j
must feel that it is safe and welcome. !
Millions are looked up that would 1- j
gladly n leased and si ck the fertil j
field and the rich mineral deposits f ;
Ihe Sunny S uth if the conditions weie
b-'lieved to be favorable.
Two recent events will produce th s ,
end. The first was the heroic action of
the Birmingham sluriiT, and the second
vns the viit of Birmingham's delegation
to General Harrison. I trust tint Gen i -jtl
Harrison will meet with no facthn
opposition from the south fo- our peoj'K
welcome him more tl.oa can now
discern. An djj rovai of Cleveland's
policy would lw a cal unity, notably to
our ucction."
WAGES OF HOME PROTECTED
WORKERS'.
The bcne.lt? of protection and conse
quent high wages can have no better il
lustmtion than tin; p-iy roll of tin-workers
of Allegheny county. P . In th? ir n
and stvel worcs a!on; it is enormous. In
tins industry 37,310 men arc employed, i
and th; receive every two weeks $'J::y,- j
5CU in wages, or in a singl
year
j:i,4s7,r,0(. , .
But iron and steel is not the only in
di's'.ry in Allegheny county. There ure
other works which may b c lassed with
tho abov and then there are the loco
motive and glusi works. In thesu in
dustries arc employed 17,-")i)0 men. get
ting semi-monthly wages of :!'J''),0(iO.
This makes a total of l,:!,)0 paid to
H.N.V) m n every two weeks, or a grand
total every year of $;l:l,:i:i..000. This,
it must be remembered, is the number of
men employed and wages paid in a single
county. Leave these industries unpro
tected and what would be the result?
We do not care to contemplate it.
Thanks to the vote of an enlightened
people, there is no danger of having to
consider it for a long time to come, if
F:--'These are not infant industries,
but they no less need the protection they
now enjoy. And there are more indus
tries, that could make a proportionate
showing if protected in the same way;
70,000 men could be employed inthctin
plate industry alone and its tributary in
dustries were it adequately protected,
receiving upward of $40,000,000 annually
in wages, and keeping in this country
many millions which now go to England
for tin plate and freight.
A word more. In spite of the enor
mous wages paid in the industries men
tioned the price of the commodity is not
increased one particle. If tin plate were
manufactured in this country the price to
the consumer would not be enhanced in
the least; on the contrary, severe compe
tition would tend to lower prices. Such
figure as the above easily dissipate1, the
worn-f ift and delusive argument of the
free traders thi:t the tarilT is a taw

A Dog's Suicide.
Iii New York a dog committed suicide
by jumping olf a ferryboat. Tho owner,
an old woman, asked a policeman to dtv
hiin at the dock until she got aboard,
but ::s soon as the boat started tho dog
junv.K-d for the deck, and, by a great
c li'oi t, succeeded in pulling himself on
bcaid. Then he ran through the women's
cbi;i with his nose to the lloor, and
fo:u.d bis mistress on the forward deck.
II 13 i-tumpy tail bobbed 60 fast that it
wsis almobt invisible, and if a dog ever
laughed bo did. The old woman was
angry. Sho scolded him as though he
ba.l "been stealing; meat, anil bis tail
gradually stoppeu wagging, whilo bis
head sank lower and lower. lie walked
sle-v. y forward until he was on the edge
of deck, and looked mournfully
across the water. Ho was tho picture of
dog despair. Suddenly he gave a bound
f.ir cut into the river and in a moment
tho ferryboat bad passed over him.

WRITING BY TELEGRAPH.
Kl!ha Grnr'a Invention fnr Sendlns Iv-t-(cm
Ity Wire.
Electricity is the gi.l genius of this
century. Those who know most about
it say that what we have dono with it
in the past is but a ti ille compared
with w hat w e may hope to do w ith it
in the future. Tin -re are people who
exjK'tt someday to bo able to call a
distant friend by wire, see his imago
in a mirror, hear his voice, and, if de
sired, get his exact signature to a sub
scription paper or a check.
These things may all come. At
present wo get along with an inter
mittent and exasj)crating repetition of
tho voice over the wire, having no
means of determining the identity of
our interlocutor, no certainty of get
ting his words accurately and no
record of what ho says. Cases aro re-4wrt'-H'!KM-iri(H;m'Lrs--i,ascals
have
secured considerable sums by cleverly
imitating over tho telephone the voice
of wealthy business men; in other
cases ordei-s to buy or sell goods or
securities have been repudiated by
those who gave them by telephone,
whilo tho simplo blunders caused by
faulty telephonic transmission would
fill volumes.
ElislmGray, tho well known Illinois
inventor, recently patented a device to
insure accuracy and accountability
over the electric wire. Tho sentler of
a message can write it out at his desk,
anel an exact reproduction of tho writ
ing will bo inaclo at tho other end of
the circuit. There have been previous
attempts at transmitting fac-snniles of
writing, but inventions which de
pended upon a variation in the in
tensity of tho current or upon revolv
ing cylinders proved unsatisfactory.
Mr. Gray's device consists of two
current interrupters at the sending end
anel a pair of electro motors at the re
ceiving end. The sender uses either
pen or pencil, near the point of which
aro attached two threads running at
right angles to each other. These
threads are kept at an even tension
automatically, and each ono passes to
a current interrupter set into the tele
graphic circuit. When tho pen moves
to tho right tho current is broken a
great number of times for a small
movement. When it moves to the left
the current is reversed and is similarly
interrupted. The same arrangement
prevails on the movement of the pen
up anel down. The writer can write
or sketch as rapidly and as freely as if
ho had no telegraphic attachment.
At the receiving end there arc two
electro magnets fitted with rods set at
right angles to each other, so pivoted
as to give any motion desired to the
pen which they carry at their inter
section. When a series of breaks in
the current is caused by a motion of
the sending pen to the right, the mag
net draws tho lateral rod also to tho
right. Similarly upward motion is
given by the vertical rod. Left hand
ed or downward strokes of the sending
pen are reproduced by the receiving
pen in tho same manner. Conse
quently every motion inaclo on tho
paper at one end of the wire is copied
with faultless exactness at the other
end. When the pen is taken off or a
new line is begun an automatic device
operates wiih the same result on the
receiving pen.
The telautograph, ns Mr. Gray c:'1! .
Iiis invention, therefore not only i
sures accuracy, but it so exactly cev, .
the sender's handwriting as to hAi
him accountable for what ho has writ
ten, whilo he retains for his ov ;
guidance the original of the mcssugu
transmitted. Tho experiments made
show that there is no difference in the
handwriting at the two ends of the
wire, except that which is incident to
tho use of the stylographic pen at the
receiving end. New York Herald.
The Pine Tree State.
Tlio assertion has frequently been
made that the title i4Pine Tree State"
ha3 become a misnomer for Maine,
and, although there are lots of pine
trees still standing in the northern
part of the state, there is some ground
for objection to the old time sobriquet.
The statistics of the amount of pine
lumber surveyed at tho port of Bangor
yearly show that tho cut of that kind
of timber on the Penobscot has fallen
oil' from 123,000,000 feet in 1853 to
1'0, 000,000 in 1S87. In tho four .years
from IS53 to 1S57 thero was a falling
oil' in the pine survey of 47,000,000
feet, and in 1S77, twenty years later,
pine had got down to 15,000,000 feet.
The total survey of pine at this port
from 1S55 to 1SS7, inclusive, was
i. 510.000,000 feet, or considerably less
than one-half of the spruce survey,
and about three times the cut of hem
loci:, juniper, etc. Pine used to lead
all other kinds of lumber, but now
spruce heads the list. In 1S55 the pine
survey was 1"3,000,000 feet, the spruce
78,000,000 feet, but during tho war
spruce took tho lead, and theso two
kinds of lumber gradually changed
places, until now the cut of spruce
averages 120,000,000 feet, or four times
the output of pine. Nearly all of our
large near by pine has been cut, and
most of the logs now driven down the
Penobscot are tccond growth. There
is plenty of big nine away to tho north,
but in the face of western and Cana
dian competition in tho 'caeliug mar
kets it would hardly pay to cut it and
dri ve il long distances. Spruce is king
on the Penobncot, and all other Maine
rivci-s now, and this is really more of
a spruce tree slate than anvthing else.
