WHY THIS UNSEEMLY HASTE!
A Disabled Cruiser Ordered to Sea Sur
prise la tba Navy Yard.
The sudden and unexpected orders for
the new cruiser Atlanta to be put in
readiness for a cruise to the West Indies
as soon as possible made a subject for
.various comment in the navy yard, says
The New York Tribune. She has been at
the yard several months waiting for the
improved gun tracks which the ordnance
bourd has had under consideration ever
since the board's unfortunate trouble with
the original ones, and although it was
known that she needed repairs, and that
it would take sixty days to replace the
cement knocked from the inside of her
bottom, and to repair the plates and braces
broken and otherwise damaged when she
went on the rocks near Newport last sum
mer, these were not so imperative as to
make it necessary to delay the going into
dock of other vessels. She was also to
receive a new propeller. Hence the order
simply to have her hull painted and then
for her to go to sea, if, upon examination
it is found that her hull is not in so un
safe condition as to make it hazardous to
send her upon a cruise, caused surprise.
Ono of the officers of the yard who has
been waiting for the icssel to go into
dock to examine her hull, said:
"It is rumored that Secretary "Whitney
is anxious to get the vessel away, fearing
that Senator Chandler may want to get
on record the officers' opinion of the Roach
cruisers, knowing that they all speak well
other. There is certainly some very press
ing reason for sending the Atlanta to sea
without making the repairs, replacing the
broken screw with a new one, and replac
ing the cement broken out in her bottom,
all of which has been reported by a board
of survey as necessary. The orders read
that her bottom 'is to be cleansed and
painted and the vessel sent to sea. No re
pairs ore to be begun that will detain her,
if the injury to her bottom will not en
pa u is ntr tmry. ne two large guns
forward and aft are completely disabled.
The af terjun cannot be moved, and the
forward one can only be trained with diffi
culty, as the spindle leading to the engines
is bent Tvro of the ports are bac"y
cracked, and all of the 'clip' circles for the
Bix inch guns are sprung. It is also stated
that although the improved tracks are
finished the ordnance bureau has not
money to put them in place, and tho con
struction bureau is so short of money that
they do not waat to renew the ports until
after the beginning of the new fiscal year."
FREE TRADE FALLACIES.
Senator Fry I'ully Aasweis Every Demo
crat io Argument.
Senator Frye made a complete answer
the other day in tho senate to every point
In President Cleveland's extraordinary
message, and to every point and argu
ment since raised in support thereof.
Senator Frye's effort was genorally ad
mitted to be tho most succinct and
thorough summing up of the question yet
heard in either branch of congress. He
was peculiarly fitted and educated for the
task by his summer in Europe, which he
devoted largely to a study cf the question
from the other side.
After quoting from the message tbe
recommendation that the reductions be
made from the customs duties and show
ing some of the results of such a proceed
ing, the senator went on to say that the
only industry in this country that the
president did not threaten had been dis
covered by his secretary of the treasury,
and marked out for attack also. It was
American ship building and an American
merchant marine, which, because it was
not protected, had declined, as all other
industries would under free trade.
The secretary of the treasury proposed
free ships, which meant not only that
foreigners would run the foreign lines,
but that they would take the American
coasting trade as welL
The main and only reason, he said, for
protection in this country was the differ
ence in wages here and abroad. With her
magnificent facilities and wealth of
material, the United States could compete
successfully with any country in tho
world if she paid that country's wages.
Germany, Belgium, England and Italy,
in all of which he had made personal in
vestigation, paid their workmen only one
third or one-half the wages paid to
American workmen, and tho usual story
that the purchasing power of their wages
was as great as that of the greater wages
here was a complete fallacy.
He had cross questioned a consul, who
reported that the cost of living in Scot
land was half of that in America, into a
nnai admission that what he meant was
that living as workmen lived there was
only half as expensive as living like the
American workmen, and he thought that
was the truth. The tariff, however, which
the Democrats were trying to destroy
enaoiea tne American workmen to live
twice as well as they did in Europe.
This question of the cost of living, how
ever, he said, had nothing to do with the
economic fact that the tariff was neces
sary because wages were higher. If it
were not for higher wages the nianufact
urers would need no protection. They
got nothing out of it.
The president suggested that they might
be willing to give up some of their
wealth, but that was one of the presi
dent's mistaken notions about the great
profits of manufacturing. He was sura
that the average profits of New England
manufacturers were not over 6 per cent.,
and most of them would be mighty glad to
turn over their business to anybody who
would guarantee them 6 per cent, amy
profits.
Of tbe surplus he said that if it were
necessary to reduce it about which he
was notso sure that it might be used in
educating the people, in coast defense, in
building up the navy and in other ways
of value to the country. But if the reve
nue must be reduced, he only knew of two
ways of doing it, either by taking off in
ternal revenue or increasing the duties
and extending the free list. Reduction of
duties would only increase the revenue.
The temperance element of the country,
which the Democrats seemed suddenly to
invoke to continue tbe whisky tax, was
.
against ft. Such a lcnss reduction, how
ever, as that 'of taking off tbelnternal
revenue would possibly be too great, and
he proposed Instead first taking off the
tobacco tax, which would reduce it $90,
000,000, ..then the tax on spirits used in
the arts, $10,000,000, and then putting on
the free list every foreign production that,
does not compete with a successful pro
duction in this country.
That would include sugar, and with tne
reduction or abolition of that tax, which
was put on suddenly, to .meet tbe necessity
for. more revenue, and might be taken off
just "as easily when the revenue is too
great,-bewould- favor a bounty to grow
ers, not only of -ordinary sugar, but of
beet sugar and sorghum.
Americas Girls Picture.
An amusing bit of steamer life is told
by a lady who passed the summer in
Europe.. On the passage over she and her
mother were talking 'with two English
men who had been presented to them by
a friend, and who were returning' home
aftersome months' sightseeing inAraer
IcaT" The Englishmen Tvere pretty severe
intheir remarks uponthe American girl.
They declared that they had met girls
who .were pretty, well educated, well
bred, agreeable and intelligent; but that
they were universally Daisy Millerish.
The Americans defended their country
women as well as they were able, but they
were somewhat cornered and confused in
regard to two girls whom they knew the
foreigners had met, and whom they cited
as examples of refinement.
"They are delightful girls," the Eng
lishmen asserted. "They were at Ni
agara when we were there; and before
we came away they gave us their pho
tographs." The ladies were rather confused by these
statements, and knew not exactly what to
say. when the other young man said:
"By the way, Charlie, we never have
opened those photographs. They were
sealed up," he went en to explain, "and
were to be opened when we were at sea.
We'll get them now."
The Englishmen went after the pictures,
returning before the ladies had been able
to devise any excuse by which they might
reasonably smooth over the rather ill
timed action of their friends. The en
velopes were torn open, the Englishmen
fairly gloating over the discomfiture they
were bringing to their opponents in argu
ment, and the photographs disclosed of
two young women whose faces were en
tirely covered by their bands.
The tables were turned at once. Al
though in strict circles the joke itself
might be considered sufficiently Daisy
Millerish to help rather than injure the
men's side of the argument, at the mo
ment the Englishmen were so disconcerted
by the appearanco of the photographs that
they abandoned the discussion and al
lowed themselves to be unmercifully
laughed at. Providence Journal.

while all that glitters is not gold, a good

wealthy young men of St Louis put
$300,000 into a mine in Mexico, on the
representation of a promoter and the
proof given their own eyes by the glitter
of masses of free gold which stood out on
the sides of the workings. But alas!
when the promoter had received his cash
and the most expensive machinery had
been put in operation, it was discovered
that the mine had been both "salted" and
"painted." Nice little nuggets had been
put in here and there, and the gold amal
gam had been laid on thick and slab.

A Mexican Kitchen.
A typical Mexican kitchen, it is said,
has neither stove, table, chair nor cup
board, tbe clean swept clay floor, an adobe
shelf against the wall and a few hooks and
pegs answering every purpose. In the
houses of the rich an adobe range is built
into the wall, which is really a long, nar
row box, made of sun baked clay and par
titioned off into little compartments,
within each of which a handful of char
coal may be consumed. The middle
classes use a big day jar or pot, in lieu of
a range, in which charcoal is also burned,
while the poor have "all out doors" for a
kitchen, and build their tiny fires of sticks
wherever it is most convenient The
cooking utensils are seldom of iron, that
being too expensive, and earthen pots are
almost universally used. Good House

The wife of a cabinet officer, condemned

insist they were coldly received. When
my last visitor is ushered out I co and
plunge my face in cold water to wash and
rub that smile off. If I didn't I should
feel as if I had been 'struck so,' as the
children say. People make fun of a
stereotyped smile where they detect it,

pronounce a public woman without it

A Word to Tariff Haters,
Tho total value of imports of silk manu
factures at the port of New York for the
year ending Dec. 81, 1887, was 30,728,677.
These figures aro official and supplied by
Mr. William C Wyckoff , secretary of the
Silk Association of America.
For ten years prior to 1860 the annual
average value of tho importations of man
ufactured silk into the United States was
$27,600,000. During this period our popu
lation was not over 30,000,000, and tbe
relative consumption of silk goods much
less than now. The annual average value
of importations of silk goods during the
lost five years has, in round figures, been
28,000,000, though our population is not
far from double what it was prior to 1860.
Thus the increased products of our own
looms have supplied the demands of 80,
000,000 additional population and kept
importation practically at the figure of
twenty-five years ago. On the other
hand, England before the French treaty
Imported annually manufactured goods
valued at $30,000,000, and now the aver
age is $85,000,000. The census of 1861 in
England gave 117,989 employed in silk
manufacturing in England, and according
to the census of 1SS1 that number had de
clined to 63.577. . .

Virginia Coming iato IJne.
One of the visitors in tbe city tbe past
week was Mr. W. M. Pendleton, who
used to be on the Republican executive
committee down in Virginia, and who is
still state secretary there for the Tariff
league. Part of Mr. Pendleton's mission
was to convince the Republicans up here
tnat tne industrial revival and the rapid
developmont of its iron and coal resources
has given a new turn to political affairs
down in the Old Dominion, and with
proper effort will turn the state into line
next fall.
"Sentiment and prejudice have given
way to self-interest in ray state," he said,
"and if tho present issue is before the

Washington Special to The Philadelphia
Press.
the Democratic Nominee for President
Mr. Cleveland's renomination is a mat
ter of increasing doubt Of late the presi
dent has been losing ground. His descent
to political machinations, such as his un
seemly participation in the Fellows-Nicoll
contest in New York city and the more
recent influence exerted in the Harrisburg
convention, when Mr. Randall was be
trayed through federal office holders, have
injured Mr. Cleveland materially in the
minds of independent voters.
But this defection is trifling compared
with that caused by Mr. Cleveland's pur
pose to inaugurate free trade principles.
How serious that really is becomes more
evident everyday. It is evident that the
Democracy is looking asont for available
candidates. It may be that New York
state's astute executive will be called
upon. He at least has not made Mr.
Cleveland's mistake in championing free
trade. Philadelphia Press.
Worklngtnen, Consider This.
After all the beauties of free trade, as
portrayed by the ablest advocates, there
is ono glaring fact which tuey cannot
gainsay, which is a full answer to all of
their sophistries. WorkLigmen from all
parts of the world persist in coming to
this country of a protective tariff for
better wages and better living, while no
American dreams of quitting the United
States for a similar reason.
With our protective tariff abolished,
and tho product of the cheaper labor of
other countries admitted free, it is certain
that the wages paid in Europe, in Asia, in
India and in China would inevitably regu
late the wages in this country. These
ore facts which no free trader cau gainsay
or controvert. Free trade is fatal to the
wage worker, but clover to the capitalist.
It is death to the manufacturer, out
wealth and prosperity to the merchant
importer. Des Moines (la.) Register.

Opinions from Both Sides on tba Maw
York Doadloek.
The Philadelphia Press says, of Gov
ernor Hiil's opeu fight for control of N6W
York Democratic politics, that "the
boasted unity of the Democrats in favor
of the man who is so much better than
his party does not seem to be wholly jus
tified. Governor Hill used the patronage
at his disposal as an offset to that used
by the federal administration, and one
kind of patronage appears to have been
about as efficient as the other, but it will
be a great surprise to the country to find,
as it will from this event, how the presi
dent is situated in his own state."
Six Million Democrats Object
One of tbe earnest demands of the great
Krtion of the 5,000,000 or 6,000,000
imocratic voters in this country is that
President Cleveland shall not be renomi
nated. The portion of the voters joining
in this demand includes business men,
anti-free traders (by which we mean that

trade), . workingmen, Irish-Americans,

thorough canvass of the state and use
every effort to have the full Republican
vote polled. He believes that with a free
ballot and a fair count, the Republican
ticket will be elected. The governor said
further that they did not propose to stand

of patents were issued with the signature
of an assistant This mistake can only be
remedied by special legislation. It is to
be hoped that in construing the laws of
the United States Mr. Justice Lamar will
not disregard any essential little point of
this kind. Unfortunately, the. possibility

INTERESTING POLITICAL CURIOSITY.
Fac-slatflo of tho rinft Stock
Balls te Alkaay.
Below will be found an exact fac-slBaile
of the first "Black Republican ticket"
voted in this state. It was, in fact,
the first Republican ticket voted in
this city at the election1 of 1855, The
Republicans of those days, although not
the extremists on anti-slavery that the
Abolitionists were known to'be, neverthe
less favored the gradual extinction of
slavery, and this fact, together, with the
peculiarity of the first ticket presented by
them at the polls, won for the adherents
the name of black Republicans The ticket,
whose fac-simile is here -given, was treas
ured by a Democrat in the first instance,
and i t seems he held on to it all through the
war. When it came into this Democrat's
possession he was not possessed of pro
phetic vision, and could not see that it
portended the growth of a party which
was to assert freedom to the -slave, and
cement theJJnioa on a firmer aad asses
enduring basts. Who originated the de
sign and superintended the production of
this remarkable ballot does not appear,
but that some of the party managers were
responsible was apparent Mr. Thurlow
Weed was then a power in politics, but
as a matter of course had nothing to do
with the printing of the tickets. It is
said that he first saw the tickot when he
went to the polls on that November day
in 1835. When it was presented to him,
as the story goes, he looked at it with as
tonishment, and he refused to vote it, but
instead wrote out the names of the various
Republican candidates upon a slip of pa
per and deposited that in the ballot box.
Tho ticket here reproduced finally came
into the bands of Mr. James W. Bentley,
who caused it to be framed and presented
it to the Grant club, whose walls It now
adorns as a unlquo and Interesting cu
riOKity. fi
As will be noticed, a peculiarity n? the
ballot is that r.o name can be writteu'apon
nr a.s 4 .ntft.n ik Mr..a oppor
tunity for tho use of a paster. Besides
this it was easily recognized by those tal
lying captions when presented. As may be
Inferred, the candidates upon the ticket
wero not elected, Albany being as much
of a Democratic county then as now, but
the names upon it, both of state and
county nominees, will be recognized as
having been prominent in the political his
tory of the state and county thirty years
ago. The bottom of tho ticket, which
probably contained the namo of justico of
sessions, has disappeared, but what re
mains gives a sufficient idea of the char
acter of the Republican ticket voted at the
birth of the great party in 1855. Albany
Journal.
In Behalf of the Wool Interest
non. A. W. Beard, ex-collcctor of the
port of Boston and present state treasurer,
in the course of a lengthy reply to a free
trade letter by Robert Blakie, scores the
following points:
"Yon say you will not seek the aid of
statistics to refute my statements. Yon
hod better let statistics alone in this case.
In 1860 the entire consumption of wcol in
the United State3 was only 86,000.000
pounds. In 1886, over 400,000,000 pounds.
This shows better than your operations or
mine the development of the woolen in
dustry of this country. So much for de
velopment of the woolen industry prior
to and since 1860. You do not dispute
that tho masses are clothed better and
cheaper than ever before, but you say it
is because of the "improved appliances"
now in use. Tho cost of clothing, like
other manufactures, is made up from ma
terials entering into tho garment and the
labor of making up. The prices paid to
day for making overcoats, undercoats,
vests and trousers are higher than the
prices paid in 1660. It is tho development
of the woolen industry in the United
States that has so reduced the cost of
clothing. You have done your share in
this development. Why make statements
that all manufacturers and dealers know
to be disingenuous and unwarranted, if j
not ridiculous?
"Now, it depends upon the standpoint
yon occupy, how you look upon the prop
osition of free wool. If you believe in
this principle of protection to American
industries in the adjustment of the tariff,
then it becomes a matter of equity as be
tween the 'manufacturers and tho wool
growers. At the present low prico of
wool the duty on wool is a fraction more
than half the duty on woolen goods. In
1860 the production of wool iu this coun
trv waB about 00,000,000 pounds: in 1807,
160,000,000 pounds; it roso to 180,000,000
pounds in 18G9, and then fell off to 150,
000,000 in 1872. After 1872 tho produc
tion of wool increased each year, reaching
820,000,000 pounds in 1884. For ten years
previous to 1884, inclusive, this country
produced four-fifths of its entire consump
tion of wool. Certainly wool growing is
is an American industry in as large pro
portion as wool manufacturing, and as
much entitled to discriminating protec
tion." What Randall's Defeat Means.
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut
are three of the great manufacturing states
of the Union. These tbreo states have
over 500,000 voters employed in protected
Industries, which paid yearly in 1&80
$287,000,000 in wages and more nearly
$400,000,000 annually today. These
states cannot be carried by the Demo
cratic party without the aid of protection
Democrats. In every eampain in which
this issue has loomed large Mr. Randall
has been summoned to aid the Demo
cratic party with his known protectionist
views. His Indorsement of Cleveland in
1884 as a safe man on the tariff did more
for the Democratic candidate than all else
which was said on this issue put together.
Without it the narrow margin by which
Mr. Cleveland pulled through would have
been wiped out a dozen times over.
In the coming campaign President
Cleveland and his friends propose to do
without Mr. Randall. They havo taken
the president's free trade message and
made it the party platform, and they havo
taken from Mr. Randall the control of the
party organization in his own state.
We are not surprised that The Phila
delphia Record wants to minimize tho de
feat and says Mr. Sanders was turned out
"because he had not been a successful
camoaiaBer," or thai The Philadelphia
limes' sees m tbe rxarrlsborg tree trade
victory simply the annual Igfct under
slightly changed conditions."
This is romance. The "slightly changed
conditions" for the Democratic party are
that Mr. Cleveland proposes to asake the
fight, on a free trade platform, with ne
help from protection tot Democrats, and
with such a fight he expects to carry New
York or Connecticut! Philadelphia
Answered Owt of His Own Month.
Our wise president says the farmers
ought not to object to abolishing the duty
ou wool because, though it might injure
the wool growers, a majority of the farm
ers do not keep sheep, and the minority
should be willing to suffer a little for th
benefltTof the majority. This is the argu
ment in his wonderful stump speech mes
sage, aad it is unworthy of a boy of 10
yearaV Let us see. Assume that one
third ff the farmers raise sheep. Abolish
the duty on wool, and that industry is
practically destroyed, and these farmers
at once become, to that extent, more than
before, ewfsHiMewlta tlieirhtotaer
farmers In raising wheat and other prod
ucts of the farm. Suppose the produc
tion of wool b"ore-foarth of the
farmers amounts to $5,000,000 a year.
Destroy that industry and they must do
something else: and what can they do bnt
raise $5,000,000 'worth of the products
now raised by tho other three-fourths?
Nothing can be plainer to reason than the
fact thnt tho non-wool growers are as
much interested in protecting the wool
Interest as are tho men directly engaged
in the business. Detroit Tribune.
Two Good States In Doubt
Missouri will not listen to any proposal
for reducing the surplus which involves a
lessening or repeal of tho duties on lead
and zinc; Alabama insists that iron ore
must be protected, and Virginia and West
Virginia aro determined that ooal, coke
and iron shall never be made free. Mr.
Cleveland will require the electoral votes
of all these states next autumn. If they
fail him he is lost. Alabama and Mis
souri are of course in no immediate dan
ger of deserting the Democratic standard,
though their old time loyalty will be con
siderably shaken if the free trade policy
bo persisted in; but with Virginia and
West Virginia the Democrats aro certain
to have eonsiderable trouble. The iron
workers and coal miners of these two
states are up in arms. They have heard a
rumor that the duty on soft ooal and iron
ore Is to be repealed, and all over the
mineral regions almost daily public meet
ings are held to protest against the
change. Boston Journal.
Randall Kuklnxed.
"It never rains but it pours." This
may be applied to good as well as to ill
luck. Following the inflicting of Cleve
land's free trade message upon the Demo
cratic party, to prevent another straddle
of the tariff question, the Pennsylvania
Democratic state committee has organized
under the manipulations of Congressman
Scott by throwing Randall influences
overboard. The committee passed reso
lutions enthusiastically indorsing themes
sage, and urging the re-election of Cleve
land on the policy of his message.
This action of the committee will not
odly insuro 100,000 Republican majority
in Pennsylvania this year, but it will
have a marked effect upon such states as
Ohio, New York, New Jersey and Con
necticut The federal officers in Penn
sylvania have very much overdone their
work in their seal to let President Cleve
land know tney are standing by him in a
state that will lack 50,000, under the most
favorable circumstances, of polltag a
Democratic majority in a national elec
tion. Binghamton (N. Y.) Republican.
Effects of Froo Trade.
What free trade has done in England
for the working classes can bo told In a
few lines. The pauper class in England
numbers 7,000,000 In a population of
84,000,000, or one in nearly every five is
counted as a pauper. Fourteen million
five hundred thousand persons receive less
than $2.50 a week. Most laborers have
but four days' employment in a week.
Agricultural waces were never Inn-pr nni
there are millions in England who have
iresn meat upon t&cir tables only once a
week or once a fortnight. These are the
facts that Sir Edward Snllivnn writes tn

which President Cleveland and his free
trado followers invite the workingmen
and farmers of the United States. Al

"Tee, It Was a Glorious Victory."
There appears to be no doubt that the
result of the meeting of the Democratic
state committee was a great personal
victory for Cleveland-HilL At least that
is what all the dispatches say; and in the

as is well known, nothing Is ever told

Keep on your toilet-table a bottle of
Ayer's Hair Vigor the only dressing
you require for the hair and use a little,
daily, to preserve the natural color and
prevent baldness.
Thomas Mnnday, Sharon Grove, Ky.,
writes : " Several months ago my hair
commenced falling out, and in a few
weeks my head was almost bald. I
tried many remedies, but they did no
good. I finally bought a bottlo of Ayer's
Hair Vigor, and, after using only a part
of the contents, my head was covered
with a heavy growth of hair. I recom
mend your preparation as the best hair
restorer in the world."
"My hair was faded and dry," writes
Mabel C. Hardy, of Delavan, III.; "but
after using a bottle of Ayer's Hair Vigor
it became black and glossy."
