Capae- | 1o the - —— influence of American protective tariffs; when the fact is that nota single article of waollens can be specified on which a Ye- duction in price has been experi- enced in the United States, in respect to which eater reduotion cannot be shown to bave taken place in all other civilized countries, thus proving two things: First, that the prico of Woollens in the United States, artificially regu- lated by monstrous duties, both on the goods and their components, has no more effect on the price of similar oods in Eum&e—dimimshefl consumption poesibly excepted—than the weight of a fly on tho wheelof & carriage has in im- pelling the vehicle; and, second, that our high Tariff fisolf has preventod the American peoplo from fully enjoying that reduction in the price of woollens—due to cheaper raw material and improvements in manufacture—in which all the rest of the world during the last ten years have participated. And there is pob to-dsy a civilized country on the face .of the globe in which & man or a woman cannot clothe themselves in woollene—quality and quantity being equal—at least 50 per cent cheaper than they can in the United States. Now, if, a3 Gen- eral Butler alleges, the capitalists engaged in the woollen business in the United States have not, for the last ten years, averaged 7 per cent ngnn their investments, I submit if it is not about time that a business conducted at such enormous cost to the people, and with so little profit to the manufacturers, should either be given up entirely, or else reorganized on an en- tirely differont basis 85 respects tariff legiela- tion. 8o much for the_ beneficial influenco of General Butler's “incidental aid,” on the pric/ of lasting in the American market. Let 18 next consider how much the people of iko United States have to pay annually for tlo Tuxury of a tariff of from 80 to 90 percent on pe importation of this article for the benefit d & small mannfacturing interest in Massachuests. The quality and value of the lasting (incluing serge) imported into_the United States ari Dot separately returned in the Treasury tablé of 'imFortE: but, if we assume £1,800,000 the gold value of the annual import, and 80 pe cent ad valorem 8s thé syerage duty collected n the same (an under rather than over-estipate in both instances) then the enhanced prio which the people have to peyfor their lastiigs, ex- clusive of the enhanced cost of tho lomestic product, is 81,440,000, gold, per annuz- Or, to ut the case differently, the Governmyat of the nited States, .to all intents and purposes, 4mali¥ bist of the schooner Howland, to procure the, assisiance of the tug Leviathan for that ressel.

Butler on ‘Incidental Protec- tiom.” I Noswics, Conn., Oct. 1, 1872 To_#illiam Dmenie, Secretary Boston Young Men's Free Trade Association: ~ StR: Ina letter addressed to you by General Eatler, under date of Sept. 15,1872, there are certain_statements touching the effect of our protective tariff policy which are 80 wholly un- warranted that they ought not to be allowed to circulaie without challenge and refutation; snd #s no friend of free e or revenue reform in your immediate vicinity has as yet volunteered for such service, I propose, with your permis- sion, to undertake it. General Butler, in the outset, says that while 1e i8 * not in favor of a tariff for protection, but xor revenue only,” he neveriheless thinks that 1 levying duties *“ due discrimination’ should be Iad to give incidental aid " to certain industries, md then proceeds to illustrate what he under- tands by * incidental aid," and what he knows © have been the epecific benefit derivable tierefrom. It would be an interesting problem fir General Butler to explain where the revenuoe it to come from when the protection begins, and tc disprove the allogation that “where potection begins _revenue ends.” And fo such illustration he _ selects tvo articles, ‘‘worsted lastings™ and * bunt- tg; " on the import of the first of which the &y, is from 80 to 90 per cent ad talorem, and o1 the lasi more than 120 per cent—the existing avrage duty on. *champagne " being about 63 pe cent; ‘2 “sillk velvels,” 60 per cent; and “French brandy,” 100 per cent. So much for wiat General Butler understands by ‘“incident- aleid " under the tariff ! Now for what he knows a7 thinks concerning the benefit accruing from eich aid! Allowing him to state his own case, he eays: “Upto within & few years, not & pitce of worsted lasting, such as is largely used Inladies’ siioes, was made in this country. eirgle manufactory was started, which would no kave been _without the incident- al prolection given = by the tanff, ant this reduced the price of all such lasting to {he American shoe manufacturer and consumer onethird, althongh the amonnt of lastings mele here is very inconsiderzble. This I have fron information on which I place the most per- fecs reliance.” I am most happy that General Buler admits that he does not thus aver from his own knowledge, for it permits me to sy, without being personal, that the above state- ment in its essential feature—the reduction of price—does not embody even 8o much as & scin- tila of truth. That this must be 80, resoning on gent principle, will become evident to any ome who will reflect and reason fo: a moment on the involved conditions anl circumstances. Lasting or serge (a einilar fabric wused for like purposes) are not the exclusive prodacts of any one nation- aliy, and their manufacture does not depend on the possession of any extraordinary skill or secet; and if af any time within the Jast ten or tweity years any one English manufacturer woud not have sold lasting or serge, except for &n axtraordinary profit of 833¢ per cent over and sbore’s living profit, it is ressonable to presume thatother Englishmen wounld. And if all Eng- lishmen had combined, then the French manu- factuns might have been fallen back on, and if tha Eiglish and French had jointly refused to do puriness except on this particular and extra- orginy basis of profit, then the Germans, the Austrions, and tho Belgians stood readyto take the market. 8o that, if the state- ment.of General Butler's informant be true, it necesarily implies that, s soon as the English, Frend, German, Belgian, and Austrian_woollen ‘mapWscturers leamned that one ingignificant es- tablithment, calculated to supply but the merest fractin of the demand of our merket, had been estaiiished in the United States, they imme stely got together in convention, snd unani moudy resolved, that, henceforth, for the pur- oseof strangling such formidable competition, hey wonld abate the price of their products one-hird,—not_alone to their American, but also ;o their European, consumers. On gen- eral p inciples, therefore, the statement that lue price of -lastings has been reduced in the United States one-third through the agencyreferred to, s on its face an absurdity. Fut fwero is Do necessity for resorting to bypotlesis o determine truth, wnen the exact facts are readily obtainable. And tbese are as follows. 1. The quantity of lastings manufac- tured inthe United States is too inconsiderable, 28 com] with the amount consumed, to have any effect in'determining tho price of anymar- ket. 2. Theprice of imported lastingsin the TUnited Statea is now and always has been the * price in the European market, sl\m the duty, freights, interest, commissions, and latterly the gold preminm added. 3. The price of Ameri- can lasting is regulated by the producers, and in the main follows the price of the imported article. And to show how slight are the veriations in these prices, we quote the following from a letter of a Boston dealer under date of Sept. 21, 1872: “ For the cosrger grades, 28 for eleyen-thread, ‘American, being a little wider and heavier than the foreign, s for about the mme price as the foreign of that number. But the finer grades, as, for instance, the fourteen-thresd, not being liked as well as the foreign, sells for 21¢ 1o 5 cents less per yard than tae same num- ber of the foreign.” _1In 1860, with & duty of 19 per cent, the price of 4 fourtaen-{hroad asting in the United States was about 674 cents, gold, per yard; but for the past two years the price of the same article, costing 10 per cent less in Great Britain, but with’ & duty of from 80 to 90 per cemt on its import, has avessged sbout $1 per yprd, currency. That the price of lasting, in common with the " price ©of most other woollen tabrics, has experienced & marked declino sinco 1860, cannot be questioned. Thus, in 1861 the rice cf & fourteen-thread lasting, as already in- Emated, was about 10 per cent in excess of tho average price of the same article in the same market in 1870-71; andin 1864, when gold ranged from 15 to 285, lastings which now sell in the Boston market for $1 per yard, currency, then commanced $2, $2.40, and “upwards. Now, the protectionists ara very fond of the trick of com- paring crent and former pricee of woollens, and then daiming that the reduction which hes been experienced during the last ten years is due the bes, in addition to all its other yeponsibili- ties, become s _partner in #o lasting manufacturing business, and runs Jne or two emall enterprises at an expense tohe people of over £1,500,000 currency per sAUmM—a Bum sbout equivalent to what it cost annually to conduct the whole foreign intefourse of the country, diplomatic, consular, &. And then, to 2dd tothe iniquity of this meter, this large sum, collected on no plea of @vernmental ne- cessity, is assessed in the firpinstance in viola- tion of every theory of protesion, on the largest specific branch of domes® indusiry of the country—boots and shoeg-thereb!{ increasing cost, diminishing consnmyion, and restricting exportation, and is finall2id in the main, by the women of the countr through an enbanced price of their shoos; for it ‘is in’ the manufacture of wmen's gaiters that Jesting finds its ck€ use and emgloy- ment. General Butler therefors, has been particularly unfortuna! in aelectmg lasting ag n example of the benecent effect of incidental rotection, for if, in td whole catalogue of tax Eurdena ever Jevied pon the people of this or any other cotntry, thye is one which more than any other is utterly idefonsible, and deserves the name of a swind! 2nd a cheat, it is this duty levied under the exiing tariff on the article of lasting; and if the merican people thoroughly understood the whle matter, and were alive to their trus interestethey would elect any man that advocated theountenance of such imposi- tions a good deal oicker to the State Prison than toa geat in the _ilionn}i %egish!xtnmmlh may be that this will y regarded as harse language ; but I, for one, Hisved that the time has full come, when if ware to make any distinction in the nomenclatw of thieving, it should be in favor of the pa devil who steals from vicious training or the fessure of necessity, rathor than of those who /lunder the people under the name or e f taxation. A word or to nestin regardto ‘‘bunting.” General Butlesays that * while, during the war, 1t (bunting) @t in England no more than it did besgm the w/ and does now, the English manu- facturers pu up the price to some $36 in gold While the @t for ite manufacture (the finest standard qulity) was betwean S8 and $9 in gold.” Cofress, then, at the insti zation, it is Snderstooof General Butler, put on & duty on the importf bunting of 120 per cent, which Gen- eral Butle admits ‘ was high protective” ; and the cisequence of which he states to have been ¢ tit & single manufactory being started, the pricef the finer qualities of bunting has been breght down to $10 in gold.” Now, as GeneraButler says he speaks of his own knowl- edge, Tl not be so disconrteous s to tell him that thabove statement in respect to prices is untrue but I will say that I havs nover been able tfind & single American merchant who has any scollection” of such a change of foreign priceduring th war ; and that the accepted and ttanird English prices current give the follow- ings the wholesale prices of bunting—first quaty scarlet, per piece of forty y: for the years 1863 to 1868, inclusive; ; 19 3d; -1864, 188 2d; 1865, 18s; 166, 188; 1867, the year of Gen- tariff), 175 6d; 1868, el Batler's incident: B 63 At present, the cost of the same quan- 3y and qu of bunting in England is re- trted at about 2085 which Would permit its jm- jt and sale in bond, free of duty, for 15 cents ferency per yard. General Butler, on the other ‘bod, under his incidental tariff of 120 per cent, sils the same quality of bunting at £12.50 per of 40 yards, or 1 1-10 cents per yard; perously talking not the full pound of flesh Yich the law allows, but just sufficient to make {e subject of foreign bunting practically impos- ble. 'The upshot of all of which is, that ie Government gets comparatively little venue, and the people pay twice as much i their bunting as there is any neces- ty for. But General Butler appears to link that the people will find & full compen- stion for this increase of price in the reflec- o that our battles ‘can now befought under imerican bunting, whereas_before the high fiff enactment they could not. Inregly to tis we have to say that we have never heard {at the quality of our former victories was by iy one considered strained for any such rea- y; butif it has been so, then we ought as striots to atonce take messures to see that bne but soldiers of American birth carry a wsket, that we shoot nothing but American 12d, znd above all, that we nse only eo much £ ‘villainous saltpetre™ 28 is of domestic roduct. And in regard to this last article ‘e will guaranty that if General Bu - irwill only obtain sufficient incidental protec- on—say 120 per cent—there will bo &5 once 4ilt up & new branch of domestic industry, ;amely, that of lesching cowyards and stables, 1ind collecting the dirt of old caveh and cellars, ‘all of which pleasant and healthful branches of domestic industry are at present neglected smong us, and simply for the remson that ‘the Hindoos, who are adepts_ in collecting salt- etre, willl sell it chesply, and Congress has not et interfered to prevent their doing 0. The hole matter is, however, an outrage, and it is ime somebody moved in the matter. = One word more. If it is & necessity thab enceforth our flags, as we}gfi out to battle, lshall bear the inscription, ‘ Manufactured by ifoteigners ; ” or thege other words, * Manufac- ltured’ by General Butler under a probibitory Iprotective tariff of 120 per cent,” I, for omg, ‘should infinitely prefer the first; and for this simple reason: T would imply the Tight of every American to exchange without restric- tion " the products of his labor, and 8o symbolize freedom ; while on _the other hand, the other inscription, proclaiming that any American citizen should not be at liberty to trade with John Bull if he wished to, but must with Ben. Butler, would equally symbolize . elavery. Genersl . Butler further states that “underthe systemof protection of the wool- len mills of Massachusetts the wages of the workmen have been doubled end thelr hours of labor shortened one-fourth,” and claims that, while these results have been due to protection, nothing equivalent can be shown to have taken place under the ‘‘partial” free-trade system. As no time in which such changee have taken i Place is specified, I will suppose the period re- Terred to by General Butler to be that wkich has elapsed since the advancement of the tarif imm arevenue to a protective basis, . e., 1861~ 866; and I will freely admit that, within that time, wages have advanced greatly. But Gen- eral Butler is very careful not to alludeto the circumstances that’ within the same period almost every commodity which the workmen re- quires has advanced in an equal or greater ratio; andthat, therefore, to the great majority of labor- ers in this country there has been practically bub little or no improvement in wages. If, more- over, it is true that wages have doubled in Mas- sachusetts since the inanguration of the protec- tive system, a8 General Butler asserts, I should be very glad, for one, to have him tell me speci- fically what they were before; for on page 552 of the last report of the Maseachusetts Bureau of I;fgrgré tlg:m!‘x, 1872, I find {his slntement; “That the average earnings of & majority o the skilled laborers of thisg State do fi‘ut rgueh thie averago cost of the necessities of life, '—this average being estimated 'on the basis of the tes- timony of workmen given in the samo connec- tion. And, 28 & further confirmation of the utter .suffered so much more than we only thirteen will ssk_attention to the following statement, ut forth in 1869 by the Crispin organization of gis own_Congressional district, and published in the Boston hide and lesther interest. They say: “‘Taking all the articles needed by the shoemaker to support himself and family, end comparing the present prices with the prices of them in 1833, we find the advance 18 8bomb 80 per cent. In the ssme section (uamely, Massachueetts), and during the same period, the advance in shoemakers’ wages has been 50 per cent.” We see, therefore, that the shocmakers condition, financially, must be worse than it wae ten years ago, since the cost of the com- modities required for his living and support has increased largely, while wages have not increasedin the sama proportion. And, curiously enough, in this ssme manifesto, these conatitu- ents of General Butler denounce this duty on the import of lastings as wholly prejudicial to their interests as shoemekers. General Butler professes ignorance of what has been accom- lished in free-trade Great Britais, during the ast ten yoars, in ameliorating the condition of the laborer. I will, therefore, tell him that the average increase of Wges, &3 measured by their purchasing power of commodities, has been comparatively greater in that country, darin, the last ten years, than it has in the Unite States ; that the hours of labor in Great Britain Bave been greatly shoriened; and, finally, as showing more forcibly than anything else the recent great improvement in the condition of the British laborer, I would ask General But- Jor's attention to the following table, published during the present year by Leone Levi, and showing the_comparative per capila coneump- tion by the British people of certain imported .| articlea in 1860 and 1870 respectively : Articles, - 1860, 1870, Bacon and ham, bris. per head...... 1.2§ 1.98 Butter, bris. per head. 415 Cheese, brls. per head, 367 Corn wheat, flour, brls, per head. 124,39 Sugar, raw, bris, per bead.. 41,93 Sugar, refined, brls, per head 5.83 Tea, brls. per head. 281 Tobacco, bris, per hes 134 Rice, brls. per head. 141 674 Wine, gals...... 023 0,49 Now I challes General Butler to show any guch result as this, or any approximalive there- to, during any period in the United States when protection hes been the dominant fiscal policy of the Government. Did space gufice, it would giveme pleasure to equally illustrats how much General Butler knows of the bsneficent influ- ence of our sxisting system of legal-tender cur- rency, but in default thereof I await another op-~ portunity. I am yours, most respectfully, 5 Davip A. WELLS. i~ e e RELIEF FOR BOSTON. The Chicago Donation, From the Brston Journal, Nov. 13, The fact that £100,000 have already been raised in Chicago for the reliof of our sufferers bythe fire, is 80 marvellons that gratitude is in dinger of being confused by the extraordinary ssgociations it suggests. Never was there such 4 case of bread being thrown upon the waters and returning ere many days. Only a little over ng:ssr 2g0. in the crieis of & general solicitude which none of us can ever forget, we hurried onr contributions to Chicago. We hoped the would help to keep her people alive, ti they should get fairly started in the long, weary work of rebuilding their city. And now, out of their abundancs, they are sending a glorious sum, in chargs of a glorious Com- mittee, for the relief of Boston! That they can do such a thing at this time is as encouraging to all our business sufferers as the fact that they ltnve Ll}]a heart to do it is grateful and refreshing 0 ua all. Let us add that the innumerable evidences of sympathy and charity which bave_been invoked throughout the country by our misfortune have not falled of heastfalt appreciation ers, though our New England reserve may affect its public recognition. Boston is notsuch a centre of kin- ship and investments, spreading over the whole country, as Chicago was. Our business rela- tions wero built up, like the burnt warehouses, high and narrow, comparatively speaking ; and, besides, it was said that Boston was cold and unsympathetic. We want mo_better proof of the groundlessness of such insinuations than the Leen and eager intorest, the generous out- pouring of sympathy, the prompt offers of aid, and the. noble contributions that have beon evoked on every hand by this great calamity. To ench and all of our donors we refurn our warm- est, heartiest thanks, with the assurance that the donations will be discrectly nsed, and the good wishes will all b funded in grateful hearts, Whether they are ever needed in return by the benefactors or not. From the Boston Adyertiser, Nov. 13, Before the firemen had been successful in hemming in the fire g0 that they could assure us that it should spread no further, Chicago, which monthe ago, telegraphed the Mayor that she would send us help. Other cities speedily fol- Iowed with generous offers of assistgnce. We have not seen any of the replies made to thess despatches, but we learn from' Chicago that Mayor Gaston has telographed to the Mayor of ‘that city that Boston will gratefully sccept pecu- niary assistance. We can_appreciate the feel- ing which prompted the Mayor's reply. We do not wish to seem ungracious when friends, far and near, are_so generous. But we think the language used was calculated to convey i wrong improssion. We cannot imagine bow tho money to be sent us can d}lmperly be used. Upto the middle of yesterdsy forencon, but twenty-five applications had been made at Chardon street for relief in consequence of the fire. The dis- trict destroyed included but a emall numler of dwelling-houses. We do not believe that 5100.00§ in all would be insufficient to makegood all the property of the poorer classes Which was destroyed by the fire. Should milions ‘e given us it wonld be a misappropriation of it to bestow it upon others than these poor peale. We could not grant the use of it to mercharis ; weoughtnot touseit to give food and clothing to ‘persras who are simply thrown out of employ- ment, and who will very likely get other occupa- tion. Boston is exceedingly grateful, and her pecle have been greatly touched by the univereal si- ressions c;r:ympn!hy in our great misfortan ?Vera the case different we shonld most thank- fally accept aid in doing What we might be uwasble to do for ourselves. . But -the truth is that the sufferers in Boston ire well-to-do merchants, or are at least left with credit and enterprise to start again. It woull require five times the sum given to Chicago to get them back into anything like the condition they were a week ago. This we conld not ask, and could not accept if tendered. ~ The absolute distress is by no means sufficient to call forth any onteide contributions. The city is amply 2ble fo take caa of them, e trust, therefore, that if thereported assurances of our willingness to accept aid for the poor have been given, they will be recalled, with the heartiest expressions of our gratitude to those who have offered help, for their good will. i There is one kind of help which merchants in other cities can give, and about accepting which there might bo no scruples, Our merchants have lost their stocks of goods. They need all the help which both their debtors and their creditors can give them, From the former prompt peyments, from the latter accommoda- tion. We can get through withont inflictinga blow on the business interests of the couutry, .if_wo receive generous treatment from those with whom we have relations. It is quiteas important that the customers of Boston mer- chants be not only assured of our abilu{’m serve them, but persuaded to continue to buy here. In s very short time our stocks will be fully replenished, and our ‘merchants will main- tain their well-established reputation for prompt- ness and fair dealing. This is the reslly impor- tant point for the people of other cities to con- sider, and while we have no doubt that their generosity will induce them to favor those who need it, a8 far as they can, we of Bostonsare sure that under ne circumetances will they'suffer the calamiiy that has Lefallen them to cripple their povwer of doing business, or to eeriously dimin- ish its amount for & veryloog time. SUFFERINGS OF A NOTED PHILANTHROPIST. To 'I"‘)a E. of The Chicago Tribune: ao zsaets of the Firemen's lnsurancs Com- pany, of this city, were nearly all converted into cash some ume ago; eince which, Mr. Scam- mon, the custodian, has had over £200,000 of the funds of this Company in his keeping, mere- Iy waiting ® proper order fof its disbursement. e aseignes of this Compeny is certainly very derelict in duty in not relisving Mr. Scammon from the embarrasement he rests under in his - desire to have the money divided at once among the poliey-holders. Mo one kuows better than himself their needs for means, ¢ this season of the year, to_purchase Ssmi]g nocessaries, and to ey their subscriptions for the Znfer-Ocedn ; and yet, to be obliged, as he is, to withhold this ‘money, due to 0 many, and that from tho want of amero formality in a negligent officer, is sorely wringing the groat heart of this philan- thropist of two cities.. Though policy-holders, many of whom are known to be in necessitous circumstances, may suffer on, as they have upto this time, uncomplainingly, the vicarious dis- tress to which Mr. Scammon is being subjected, through no fault of his own, humanity demands should be relioved, though at the cost of some private inferest of the assignee. 4 Porxcy-HoLpEE.

FIRE DEPARTMENTS, To the Editor of The Chicago Tribuxe: Sm: The great Boston fire has directed onr eyea again to our facilities for subduing the fire- fiend, and we naturally ask ourselvesif our Fire Department has been improved sny since the Great Fire. I think every- body can honestly answer “‘No” If we should have a conflagration such as we hed last year, we would be as unable now to gubdue it as we were then. Our honorable Mayor undoubtedly means well when he recom- mends the increase of our police force, the ne- cessity of & few new Babcocks, etc.; but will theee increased means of our Fire and Police Departments be able to do what they are intend- &d for in case of an emergency 2 1am sorry to have to snawer ‘‘No" sgain. But whar are we to do? Look at the Fire Departments of the great European cities, and you will be answered. What.we want isa per- fectly-drilled and experienced Firc Department, able to cope with: any fire; and, besides this, & wmgmy of ‘ Pompiers,” who will be able to climb to the roof of an eight-story house, on the outside, in afew minutes, and take their hose and axes along, and battle the fire from where it is ossible to reach it. The climbing of eight-story onses, on the outside, may look s little dificult to our firemen; but, if they will only ask those who have visited London, Paris, Berlin, and |- Jther great cities, and seen their firemen, tey will bear that it s _ pos- not alone, but it looks as uite easy for them to-do it. . Yut, as long ae our fireman have nothing to do in tieir feisure-time than polish their engine, smole, drink, electioneer, etc., I think they will hardly qver learn any more than they know now. Tomakes good fireman requires more than to e the petof wn Alderman or other official. It Tequires more tian to be able to hold tha end of 2 hose against the dre, swear like a trooper, and siand on an engils going to the fire, full of your own_importaise, when you are fully aware that, if the firo ma%es any headway at all, you would ' not burt it rauch,—at least, not unti 8 few blocks are burned down. ‘Water alone cannot subdue a big fire, of which most everybody is aware mow. What then? Look at {gs work of & European drilled Fire Department, and you will be auswered, 2gain, As s0on a8, 2 fire breaks ouf there, the streef in which it occurs is cleared of everybody but those who belong there—the firemen and po- lica; and then you ought to see them work, to get &n idea of What firemen ought to be. If the fire is large, the houses adjoining it, as near ag the fire allows human beings to come, are razed in quicker time than any fire canreach it; and not blasted, but & miraculous process employed, which, though I think a little powder is used, razes the house or block so_effectially tha nothing but & Leap of brick and other debris is left, and still letyes those buildings which it is unnecessary to destroy intact. And, while the “Pompiers” are doing this, you seo the firemen proper all over, wherever there is & place for a human being to stand, on the street a8 well as on the yet standing walls,—sometimes _enveloped in _ smoke, h‘“,d even fire, bravely batiling the fire with their water-hoses, 1f the Fire Departments in those cities were mot a8 good 3 they are, how would it be possible to conquer x firs there when the majority of the strests areabout 16 1020 feet wide. Butthesemen are ot born with their ability to conquer fire; they: acquire it by fhm}‘ stant Aard training, which youcansee in X elé dopots” b all Himes. of the day, provide i -e to battle.

I offeritas a substitute for the Sunday Liquor law. In the first place, it is rather up-hill business to drive men (especially our German citizens) to do what a class of men would deem right, and :%‘esay “f‘tnh\ii nl}:a_\:x mnu-fibr;';dglgent of their hiber- 8. it wor e better to thtsflr better nutl:ire. Arpeal uppose our law-makers should pass a law that our wives should not drink t\go cups of (not weak) ten at each meal on Sunday (there is more poigon in a cup of-strong green tes than there is in s glass of beer), what wounld they Eay? “I want mytea on Sundayas well ag Monday,” My plan is this: Let our law-makers appoint ome, two, or thres philan. thropic 8IS0ns for each Division have e ofiicer centrally located, an adyertise their places of business, so that any *lady or gentleman could find them if he or sho desired to inform them of any disregard or in- fringement of the law. Such officer should mot reveal the informant’s name, unless called upon 28 & witnees in court. his . i8 my theory: TLet every man do as he pleases, providing he does it at his own cost, and not at the expense and suf- fering of anofher, financially or morally, as nedr as we can make persons do 80 in the present order of society. : Pass a law that every saloon or hotel keeper shall be made to provide for any family who it can be'made to_appear are suffering for the necessaries of life (that is, food or clothing) from the excessive drinking of their liege-lord, and also from any accident, such as loss of life or limb, through intoxication. _There are but a few saloon-keepers that wonld like tohave families euffer from the oxcessive drinking of their heads. Ithink the most of them would like to haye such & law enforced. Said officers should visit all the saloons, ete. They should do so especially on Sundays, and sco that there wes no excessive_drinking oF disorderly conduct of any kind; and if anythin of tho Lind was going on they would speat Lindly to the landlord to have it atopped, and, it he was inclined to be rebellious an; 8till_con- tinued, have him arrested for keeping a disor- derly house. The officers could be at their offices, a part of the time, to receive complaints, if any. They might have & general overaight (in a moral sense) of any sbuse or misuse of man or beast, and report any misconduct of apy kind to the proper suthorities (I want to givo them enough to do, 80 that they will earn. their wages). Suppose we_give them a name, and call them the Moral Police. Yours truly, . P. 8.—1Tt would be well to have the law put up in each saloon in English and Germen. Then the landlord could say to the excessive drinker = “There is the law; I can not give you any- thing more to drink, Csicago, Nov. 15, 18T e ey ““We Like It.” ‘This i8 the universal verdict upon the Domestic Sew- ng Machine, for, with the good gualities of the old standard machines, it possesses several peculiar to itself, and which commend it at once to the favor of all who try it.
