A> protective tariff never has and never can give stability and satisfaction HISTORY OF to its own beneficiaries. Even if its victims are too weak and too scattered to agitate for its de crease, those* beneficiaries are sure to agitate for an increase. When the reform tariff of 1846 was befcre congress the air was full jof prophecies that it would destroy our manufacturing industries, throw labor out of employment or compel it to work at pauper wages aad dwarf and arrest the prosperous | growth of the country. Every rep- resentative of four great manufactur- ing states of New England voted against it with gloomy forebodings of its blighting effect. The rate of duties provided in that tariff was much lower than that of the bill we here offer. What was the result? Instead of practically killing the industries and pauperizing the labor of New England or the rest of the country, the tarift of 1846 gaveimmense vigor to manufacturers, with steady em-/ .| ployment and increasing wages to labor. So that after 11 years’ expe rience under it—the longest period of stability we have ever enjoyed of those same states, with practical | unanimity, voted for a further re- duction of 20 per cent, and by a two | thirds vote sustained the tariff of | 1875, which made a reduction of 25 i per cent, and so well pleased and | prosperous were the manufacturers of that and other sections of country under the low tarift of 1857 that when the Morrill bill of 1861 took at M77; the first backward step there was »| deliberate | cessive protection, which stimulates | \ = alone. | of the manufacturers come here to} shot of. under any tariff—the representatives | |fire in the stove. making it so hot that it was cooled before yoiug to general protest against it.

We are informed that demanded some fried eggs. The clerk, Ed. Miller, refused to fill their order, and one of them reached for his hip pocket, as if to get agun and jumped up on the counter evidently intending to go over aud help him self. At this, young Miller picked up a tea cup and hurled it at him. He missed his aim and the cup de molished the cigar showcase. Then ensued a general scramble in which the cups were mainly used as the weapons. They flew across the roow like bullets ou a battle field Two of the large window glasses were shattered beside the show case, aud broken dishes were scattered over the floor. Miller struck one of the men in the head and knocked him sprawling out the door outo the sidewalk. Two of the tramps were arrested and given thirty days in jail The others escaped. TOMS GOOD LUCK.
