^tumorous gtjrattment. DAYS OP EARLY RAILROADING. The first train ever operated roust have been a grand sight. First came the locomotive, a large Babcock fire extinguisher on trucks, with a smokestack like a full blown speaking tube with a frill around the top; the engineer at his post in a plug hat, with an umberella over his head and his hand on the throttle, borrowing a chew of tobacco now and then of the farmers who passed him on their way to town. Near him stood the fireman, now and then bringing in an armful of wood from the fields through which he passed, and turning the damper in the smokestack every little while so that it would draw. Now and then he would go forward and put a - ?*- -i-J V-i. ? I porit rmu uu u nut uua ur pu<>uu uu iuc cylinder head to warn people off the track. Next comes the tender loaded with Dice, white birch wood, an economical style of fuel because its bark may be easily burned off while the wood itself will remain uninjured. Beside the firewood we find on the tender a barrel of rainwater and a tall, blonde jar with wickerwork around it, which contains a small sprig: of tansy immersed in fourgalloDS of New England rum. This the engineer has brought with him for use in case of accident. He is now engaged in preparing for the accident in advance. Next comes the front brakeman in a plug hat about two sizes too large for him. He also wears a long-wasted frock coat with a bustle to it and a tall shirt collar with a table-spread tie, the ends of which flutter gayly in the morning breeze. As the train pauses at the first station he takes a hammer out of the tool box and nails on the tire of the fore wheel of his coach. The engineer gets down with a long oil can and puts a little sewing machine oil on thepittman. He then wipes it off with his sleeve. It is now discovered that the rear coach, containing a number of directors and the division superintendent, is missing. The conductor goes to the rear of the last coach, and finds that the string by which the directors' car was attached is broken, and that, the grade being pretty steep, the directors and one brakemen have no doubt gone back to the starting place. But the conductor is cool. He removes his bell-crowned plug hat, and, taking out hia orders and time card, he finds that the track is clear, and, looking at a large valuable Waterbury watch, presented to him by a widow whose husband was run over and killed by the train, he sees he can still make the next station in time for dinner. He hires a livery team to go back after the directors' coach, and calling "All aboard." he swings lightly upon the moving train. It is now 10 o'clock, and nineteen weary miles still stretch out between him and the dinner station. To add to the horrors of the situation, the front brakeman discovers that a very thirsty boy in the einigrantcar has been drinking from the water supply tank on the tender, and there's not enough water left to carry the train through. Much time is consumed in filling the barrel again at a spring near tbe track, but the conductor finds a "spotter", on the train and gets him to do it. He also induces him to cut some more wood and clean out the ashes. The engineer then pulls out a draw head and begins to make up time. In twenty-minutes he has made up an hour's time, though two miles of hoop-iron are torn from the track behind him. He sails into tbe eating station on time, and, while the master mechanic takes several of the coach wheels over to the machine shop to soak, he eats a hurried lunch. The brakeman here gets his tin lanterns ready for the night run artd fills two of them with red oil to be used on the rear coach. The fireman puts a fresh bacon rind on the eccentric, stuffs some more cotton batting around the axles, puts a new lynchpin in the hind wheels, sweeps the apple peelings out of the smoking car, and he is ready. Then comes the conductor, with his plug hat full of excursion tickets, orders, passes, and time checks; he looks at his Waterbury watch, waves Ms hand, and calls "All aboard" again. It is up-grade, however, and for two miles the "spotter" % has to push behind with all his might bea *.t_ f x ~ 11 I iore me conuucwjr win aiiow mm iu gei o on and ride.

He Resigned at Once.- A village newspaper, giving an account of a lecture by a noted lecturer, said briefly and indefinitely that it was 'a wonderful flow of language'?which seems to have been the idea of the hearers of a certain colored minister, mentioned by an exchange, whose gifts were rather superficial. The length of the words he hurled at his hearers was only limited by the amount of oxygen he could take into his lungs at one effort. This was all very well for a time, but the church did not seem to prosper, and by and by a change was decided upon and a committee of one was appointed to ask for the worthy minister's resignation. When the errand had been stated, the preacher indignantly asked what the congregation expected for nothing. "Wall, now, doan you see, we duzzent expect"? "Isn't my character away up yan above procrastination ?" "No trouble'bout dat; but, sah, yer isn't fur enuf eddicated to"? "Kaint I talk confluently enough ter | suit de mostrapashus?" "Dat's it, chile; dat'sit; hole right on where y'ar now. Yo' kin talk and yo' kin talk, but yo' doan't pint out; yo' kin argyfy an' yo' kin argyfy, but yo' doan't show wharein." The resignation was handed in directly, j "Why," said the young wife of a phy- j sician, who was given to boasting of her j husband's professional skill, "he cured a patient of convalescence in less than twenty-four hours."

It is no disparagement to the able mei of the past to say that the recent debate ii the House on the tariff, was one of th ablest, if not tne very ablest, ever held ii Congress on that question. The speeche on each side give proof of a wonderfu amount of industry and research in thei preparation. The history of our own an< nearly every other industrial nation ha been ransacked for argument and illustra tion. If the friet dsof Tariff Reform ha< the better of the discussion, the fact isdu> as much to the superior merit of thei cause as to the ability of its champions Of all the speeches delivered in this grea debate, one of the ablest and most thor ough is that of Representative Josepl TTT| *? A A o on inof rn/ifi \7< >v neeier. ui Amumua. . contribution to the tariff controversy the speech should have a wide circulation. I is replete with learning, logic, facts, histo ry and statistics, which General Wheele marshals in a masterly manner to estab lish the following theses : 1. That a revision of our tariff laws i necessary to the best interests of all ou people, including those engaged in manu facturei 2. That a prohibitory tariff creates ant fosters trusts and combinations of capital 3. That the Republicans' oppose tarif reduction in the interest of privileget classes. 4. That all their tax laws have benefitec the rich and victimized the poor. 5. That Mr. Cleveland is sustained bj the messages and public utterances of al our Presidents. 6. That views regarding free wool hav< been entertained by the most prominen Whig and Republican leaders. 7. That for forty years the platforms o all parties have advocated revenue reforrr which Mr. Cleveland now demands. 8. That the labor of the United States theugh better paid, is the cheapest laboi on earth. 9. That the United States should, anc under proper laws can, control the cottor goods trade of the world. 10. That a protective tariff sometime! injures the very industries sought to b< benefited. 11. That tariff reduction will re-estab lish our merchant marine and give us i large export trade. 12. That during the century preceding the establishment of our present govern ment, and before a tariff law was conceiv ed, the colonial manufactories so success fully competed with those of England a nattaa tKo t nmuirnmont fn nrnhihft thfill maintenance. 13. That Alexander Hamilton in his re port to Congress contended that an ad valo rem tax of from 7J to ten per cent, wai ample to foster and protect American in dustries, and that even such a tariff shoulc be only temporary. 14. That our products exceed the demanc of home markets by nearly $5,000,000,000 and that revision of the tariff is essentia to secure a foreign market for the surplus 15. That under the ad valorem revenu< tariffs of 1846 and 1857 we made our great est strides in prosperity. 16. That the United States is nearly equal to Great Britain in the productior of coal and iron ore and pig iron, and ex ceeds that country in the production o finished iron and steel, and that the twc countries together produce two-thirds o the coal and nearly two-thirds of the irot and steel made in the world. 17. That under proper tariff laws th< United States woula control the trade o the world and become the centre of wealth power and civilization. Tariff champions would do well not t( untertake to wrestle with these proposi tions of General Wheeler or with the ar guments which he musters in support o them.?[Record. 4- ? I Cheap Clothing vs. Cheap Whisky Which is worth the p:osfc to the poor mar and the poor man's family, cheap clothing or cheap whisky? This question shoultlbe pondered well "for it is the dorner-fKBBjJSWf^ tariff issue Tf intprpsfs pvprv mnn whr? wpars wnnlpr goods, but especially thepoor man and th< man of small means. To this large ciasi cheap clothing isa matter of necesity not f luxury. Warm clothing keeps off disease.1 and gives health to man, woman anc child. The New York Herald says "Cheapclothing is worth to the poor mar almost as much as religion." Yes ! the question of cheap clothing vs whisky should be well and carefullj thought over, for it is the very corner-ston< of all tariff reform. Let the workingmar turn to the two parties and see how the} stand on this all-important subject. Th< Democrats are in favor of reducing taxe! on all the necessaries of life, and especial ly clothing, while the Republicans are ir favor of "the entire repeal of interna taxes rather than the surrender of an} part of the protection system." Thus says the last Republican platform They will repeal the tax on whisky soone: than take it off of wool; they will repea the tax on tobacco sooner than cheaper clothing, or in any way interfere wit! their darling "protective system," tha protects mouopoly and not labor; that en ables the iron and coal lords to make larg< fortunes on the work of imported laborers Which is the better for the poor mar and the poor man's family, in fact for an} man or any family, to have cheap whis ky in the house or cheap clothing? Le tne family answer.?[Doylestown, (Pa. Democrat. Farmers Should Bear it in Mind.The only pay they can receive for thei surplus agricultural products, amountinj to over a half billion dollars annually, i foreign manufactured goods. The Repub lican party would "effect all needed reduc tions in the national revenue by makinj whisky and tobacco free and by "check ing imports of such articles as are pro duced by our own people"?or in othe words, would cutoff the pay received bj farmers for one-fourth of his production and tender him a cheap cigar and cheaj whisky in its stead. Are the farmers o America prepared to accept this magnifi cent scheme of prosperity spread hefori them by the monopolists and trust organ izers who recently assembled in Chicag< and nominated Mr. Harrison ? If so, the; cannot fall into the ranks of the untaxe< oleomargarine too quickly. It's going t< take mighty hard work on the part o the railroaders and monopolists to pul Harrison through, and of course even farmer will be expected to do his duty ?[Banner of Liberty. *6TTo Mr. Mills's true statement, tha "we must undersell our competitors in or der to get the markets of the world," i war-tariff organ replies that to do thi: "we must pay lower wages to our work men." The United States exported las i ?tnn m /\??aw (^On Ail A AflA nfafik S\f aaffan "it Jr cm uvci ?pi.u,v/vv,wv tvuiui ui 000,000 worth of breadstuff's, $40,000,001 worth of petroleum and $90,000,000 wort! of provisions. Are the wages in these in dustries lower than in foreign countries! On the contrary, they are relatively highe: compared with foreign rates than are the wages in the chief protected industries ir this country. We likewise exported ir 1887 over $10,000,000 worth of leather, the raw material of which is free of duty The wages of tanners and leather-workers are as much higher here than abroad as are the wages in the most thoroughly pro tected industry. The people will under stand these things better before November The Reason of It.?The question i; often asked, "Why is it the English car manufacture woolen goods, ship there across the ocean three thousand miles, paj the duty and other charges, and then uu dersell our own manufacturers in th( American market?" The reason isasplair as the nose on a man's face. The Eng lish mills have free wool, and the Ameri can mills must pay a tax of 41 per cent on wool. The result is the English millf to-day are supplying the American mar kets with woolens, while our own mill are idle or languishing, and our labor un employed. By putting wool on the fre< list and retaining the duty on wooler goods, the American manufacturer will b< able to make cheap goods, supply our owr market, and compete successfully with th< English in the foreign market.?[Doyles town, Pa., Democrat. ; tfWAl 6 : *4KlM?
