Joun Horraax .bas been by Kunx's organ, tho Chicago Z%imes, Took at the facts s 1. The City of Chicogo pays the Town Honrds {wo per cent on all taxes the Town Collector may collect for tha city. 2. The ‘Town Board of West Ohicago told Maj. Horraax that they wonld pay him 2 per cont on the city taxes which he might gather in, nnd they settled with him on the basis of that agreement, 4. There was placed in his. hands aity per- sounl tax-warrants to the amount of 253,370 for collaction. He wont to work system- atienlly aud perseveringly on his large, ueat- tored torritory, and spent a considersble part of his commlssion in ndvertising in half n dozon langunges, ealling on people to **Step np to the Captain's office and sstilo,” at his awn expenso. Ha slio sont out circulars and postal.cards to over 50,000 dolinquent taxpayars, atating tho amount of each man's personal taxes, and inviting them not to be backward or bashfnl about coming forward and liquidating, as the city stood in sore need of money to pay its policemen, firemen, school-teachiers, bridgo-tanders, street-cloan- erm, ete., and all this at his own expense. By these means and by throwing off half his comminsion to tho tax-fighters in order to coax the money out of them, rather than lit. igate it, he collected the remarkable amofint of almost 92 por cent, or 230,648 out of a personal lut of only 9263,350, in the scat- tered and widesprend West Town, and at the samo time 92 por cont of Btate, county, park, and town tax. No ather Uollector in this city has ever collected personal taxes wo well and clean, In doiug it he spent nearly half the counalssion ullowed to Lim by the Town Board, 4. But he is traduced, blackguarded, and donounced through whole pages of the Chi- £ago L'imes in every issue for ten days past for nccepting a commission for making tho collection. Not a solitary word of credit or commendation has ho received from that. libolous concorn for tho splendid manuer in which he discharged his duty, He has got nothing from it oxcopt the vilest abuse, It tho wonderful Manx Knmwarr, who is pro- sontod s the model and pattern for all Col. lectors to follow and imitate, * Knuwars,” saya the Daily Kern, * collected the Houth Town taxes for o ealary of 31,600 a yoar,and asks, Why did Horemax tako 8 commission for his work?"

And this is tho reward n good and faithfnt officor gets from that smut-machine for doing Lis duty ! THE CORGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS. One word more about tho three Con- grossional Distrietaof thineity. The election of Col. Davisin the West Division and that of Mr. Bagnzn in tho North Division secm to Do assured beyond reasonable doubt. In the ‘West Division, the nomination of Mirea Kanox ns the Domocratic candidnte, tho wide-spread impression among the Demo- crats that his nomination was not secured regularly and fairly, and the obstinato fight which Coxpox is making as an Independent Democratic candidate, are circumstances that will undoubtedly overcome the small major. ity by whioh Hanniox has succeeded during the lnst two campnigns: ot the same time, tho Republicans should tnrn out aud give Col, Davis the largest mnjorily possible, ns the best means for making tho district per. manently Ropublican. $o in tho Third Dis. trict, all the circumetances are favorable to Mr, Banpea's election. The distriot is naturally Repnbliean, and Mr. Banrnes's nomination satisfled all tha factions that might have beon dusnflected in caso elther Mr., DBrry. TA¥O or Gen, Lzake had been nominated, The Demoerats of the distriot aro uttoriy demoralized by the candidature of a man who has not put in nir appearance among them for two yenrs, and wlo has not even been willing to come on hero from Washing- ton for & ringle day in order to enlighten his desired constituency ns to his views on the lending issuos of the time. Tho election of Mr. Tave under these circnmatances wonld bo an unprecedentod and anomalons outcomo of a one-sided enuvasa, By olecting Messrs. Davis and Bannen tho Tepublicans will gain one Congressman from Cook County. Will it not bo suprome folly and very blameworthy neglect 1f this ad- vantaga shall be wacrificed by permitting 3Mr. Arpnion to bo defeated? It is not to be denied. that tho Republican canvass of the First Diatriot has besu neglected in compar. ison with the work which the mannging 1nen havo done in bobalf of the local tiokat;' it is equally certain that Doortrrie bns been making a most vigorons porsonal camnpnign for months, nud has left no stons uunturned to mmito the votesof tho Democrats, aud Communists, and Nntionnls.

Bat the business-men of Chieago, withouy regard to party, cannot afford to lot such a person #s DoorrrrLz go to Congress as their repre. sentative, Tho First District includes most of the grent business houses of this city; thero is not a Congressional District in the United Btates that embraces mora important commereinl interesta, Tt will bo in tho high- est dogreo offensgiva to have this kind of a district ropresented in Congress by n man willing to pander to all the outrageons schemes that the demagognos and faustics ‘The business. men of the district can pravent this scandal if they do their duty to.day. Mr, Arpnicn is o conservativo man whom consorvativo Democrats as well as Republicans .can trust in Congress, and he should-not only poll the golid Ropublican vote of the district, bat, under the circumstances, should receive o Inrgo proportion of the Democratic vote in the Firat, Bocond, Third, and Fourth Wards, and Hyde Parl. BUTLER ON THE FISHERY OUTRAGE. A correspondent of the Cincionati fin- quirer has bosn Interviewing Bzx BurnEn upon the uow phase assumed by the Halifax Figheries award. Tho interview resnlted in some interesting information upon the sub- joct, and in tha delivery of an opinion,— and about tho only opinlon of that con- scienceless politician that will bo genornlly indorsed by tho American people. The atatement of Gon. Bursen shows that wo have been bhitherto systomatically swin. dled and complotely overresched by the Canadians in this Ouhery busincw. Origi- nally they claimed the right to' control tho fshing within three miles of shore, following its indentations, but at the timo they deo. sired to force us into the Reciprocity 'I'reaty they assumed the right to keep our fisher. men out of their bays by refusing to allow them t2 cross & lino from headland to head. land, without regard to the distance of that line from the wmain shoro, and this mght was confirmed by the law officers of the Crown upon an interpretation of the treaty which they themsclves now admit was erroneons, As the Nova Scotiany wero auxious for the trade of our fishenmnen, the Cansdian suthorities cdnsented 3 a license system, and allowed our fishermen to fish within three miles upon the payment of b0 cents a ton, which, as wo had sbout 16,000 tons of shipping on their cosat, amounted to abont #7,000. The second year the foo was increased to $1 a ton, aud most of our fisherrnen paid it, but the third yoar thoy raisud it to $2 per ton, which would hava yielled them nearly 130,000, bad not our fishermen refused to pay it. Mcanwhiloe wo wero forced Into the Re; iprocity ‘Ireaty, aud, aftor its oxpiration in 1805, the Washington Treaty of 1871 was relied upon to settle tha disputes between our fishermen and the Osuadian autkorities. Tho provisions of {hat treaty are well kuown, ‘Tho United Htates sgreed that the Canadion flsh should come into our ports duty froe, that tho Canadian fishermen should have tho same privileges upon owr Bhore from Capo May to Eastport as our own fishennen, and that we would pay whatever mouoy award three Comulasioners shpuld decide as au equivalent for tho right dydog twelve years, ‘tho period of the treaty. ), What has beon tho rosult? Our fishermen have been ruined by Canadian cowmpetition. ‘Wo bave lost in duties upon fish and fsh-oil $100,000 per annuw, or, in gross awount, nearly §5,000,000. -In addition to thils, we have been taxed #5,500,000 for rights that 8 few yeors peo the Cunadicns offered ot it too dear, Upon the top of this, the En- glish Government now offers n [nrther iu- dignity to our own by sctting aside the provisions of the treaty in favor of the lodal laws of Newfoundland, wheu this vory col- any of Newfoundland passed n specinl act in 1874 to mnko sil the treaty provisions applic- Able to it as well as to the rest of the Do. minion. In tho faco of the treaty, the Newfonnidlanders have destroyed the prop- erty-of our Sshermen and driven them from fishing-grounds whero they aro allowed to fish by tho trenty, and the Fnglisk Govern- ment not only palliates but indorses tho outrage, and this without aven calling for tho testimony of our fishermen or hearing their side of the story, Gon, Burren's opinion of the ontrage is thus forcibly expressed : 1 iope that no money will be pakd until It will he authoritatively scttled that our fishormen are to have dlleast the little rights we get ander tho treaty for the foollsh and abannd concestions made to Gireat Nritan to get them, Onr Gavernment nuchtnot 10 vield ofie Inch, ar nay one cent of money, antil *he Tirltish Government assurea one fishermen the right 1o fish undistarbed by tho law h ‘anada; and then, before the money in LIVAN and bis Nect ought to be filiy ut of tho award. 'Fhis opinion will be indorsed by the entire Amerioan peopla aseminently just, aud they will look to the Government to withhold the money unlil the English (iovernment gnar. nntees tho oxccution of avery provision of tho treaty without any reference to the local laws of Nowfoundland. faving boen swin. died at tho rate of R500,000 a year for twelve yoars; having .been condemned by n packed jury to pay £ ,000 for privileges that the Canadiang thomselves offered at the rato of 980,000 a year when thoy wanted to forco us into the Reciprodity Treaty, they are in no mood now to have tho treaty sut aside to snit the sclfish intoreats of a faw Newfonndland fishermon, Tho English Gov- ernient must back down or lose its money. AMERICAN PRODUCTION IN 1873 AND 1873, The year 187} will for a long time stand na a starting point in all comparisons and estimates concerning production, the em- ployment of labor, the value of monoy, and the growth or decline of national prosperity, Tho year 1860 marks tho commercial progress which we had attalned whou thg Civil War broke ont, and interrupted the general affnirs of the country; whilo 1873 marks the high- est poiut of nominal prosperity under the aystem of deprecinted forced money and the utmost expansion of the debt or credit ays. tem. To that poiut tho advocates of *chenp money rifer as tho neme of national and individual prosperity, when monoy was abandant and cheap, and eredit #o expanded that the manufacture and ixsne of bonds was of itself a distinct and flour. ishing brauch of American industry, The downfall of Yhat system, with" all its disas. trous results, will always mako tho year 1873 a memorablo ona. Since then the recovery bas been going on. Five yeara have passed, aud the last foatares of tho depreciated pa- per currency are about disnppenaring, Our national money has reached coin wvrlues. All over tho world thoro has boen a general deprossion, nud prices hava not only fallen to the specio values kuown in 1860, but to o lower figurs, uot only in this country, but in all countries. A comparison with 18738 shows many ohanges. At tho present time the dollar is worth 100 cents; ' 1873 it was worth 88 conts. 'Thers aro 40 per cont more persona employed at all skilled ocoupations in 1878 than in 1873, and the wages are perhaps one. third less; of ordinary unskilled laborers, tho number is fucréaidd and the woges do- crensed in sbout tho same proportions, The oont of living has Loen roduced very heavily. "Tho railronds and canals of the United States are now transporting .vestly increasod quan- Utien of dactionsfor less inonoy than they received in 1673; productions of every kind have iucreased .in such graud propor- tiona that, despite the great reduction in pricos, the agfregato valne of tho sales are immensely incrensed. - 8o that, in 1878, wo prodnce more, sell it for more money in the aggregate, cploy moro labor at & groator aggrogate of wages, and buy moro of overy- thing wo noed for loss money, than we did in 1873.

'The salo and transfer of this wass of productions marks the rapid and onlarged increass of the total productions of tho country, ‘The gross re. ceipts of the railroads iu. 1878 are possibly less than in 1873, though tho amount of buasi. ness dono i vastly lorgar; this wasouly pos. sible by remion of the great reduction in the cost of operating ruflroads, The cost of transportation having been roduced, it has opened now and onlarged markets for pro- ductions, Ona of the tirst eflects of opening the Erie Caval wauto roduce thocout of trans. poriing aton of merchandise from Baffalo to Now York frowm $100 to $20.

Tt reaches to every farm and workshop, and is cnjoyed Ly ovory man who enrna the bread ho eats by labor, But this great enconrage- meat to production is by no means complate with tho reduction of tho rates of internal transportation. Ameriean prodneta are met at the ocenn with n practical embargo. Tho Inw of the land interpoies, and practically prohibits the transportation of American producls in American vessels, under the American . flag. American products aro forced by ocur lawa to ba moved to foreign countries in foreign.owned ves. sols, nnder foreign flags,—the carnings for carriago being paid to foroigners. Tho American is thns denied by his own conntry the privilego of carrying the productions of his countrymen under hiaudlag, aud is forced to employ foreign-owned vessels.

They can't throw tho biamo on the Republic- an voters who refuse to degrade thelr man. hood by voting to be reprosented by such a ringster in the State Senate. Republicans are under no moral obligations to support bnd, nnfit men, If packed cancuses persist in folsting snch chaps as this man Wrire on the decont citizens for tho high and impor- tnut office of Btate Senntor, there is only one coursaleft open to self-respecting voters, mnd- that is, to *'sit down" on snch crentures, and tench the ward.buntmers a lekeon, * It can be taught in no other way. The thing for thorespectablo voters of the Firat Dis- tricl to do is, tn vola for Col. TAvLOR. Though it is searcely known to tho com+ munity at large, it is neverthieloss a fact, that a number of earnest temperance poople are running a regular county Prohibition ticket, and intdnd to vota that ticket simply nsa menna of showing the strongth of their canse, nnd without the remotest notion of coming within 70,000 volos of success. Tho purpose which actuates these people may be of tho highest and purest, but it is certainly wisinkén in its practical bearings. Nearly every vote which shall be cast for the Tem- pecance ticket would ‘have otherwiso boen cnst for tho Republican ticket, for the peo- pla interested in the Temperanes movement are gonerally of the respeetnble and mornd clnss, who aro Itepublican in their politics, If, then, for tho mere pnrpose of coutting noses, there should be 1,000 votes for tho candidates on the Temperanco ticket for County Commissloners, that nnmber takon from the RepublicAn candidatos might' resnlt in the re-election of tho Ring mem- bers, Curary anid Monror, who are the Democratic candidates. This wonld ho in the nature of n pullic disaster, and we do not believo that the most ardent temperanco advocate would volnnlarily assume thd re. spousibility of snch nn ocourronce. We urge this circumstance as n reason why every Repablican who had thought of voting’ tho Prohibition ticket shonld change Lis mind. It would Lo nn emply 'victory to show that there are 1,000 Temperance men.| in Chileago, for psoplo know that without counting votes, butit wonld be sonndalous to risk the re-election of the Ring members of the County DBoard to mecure such n vietory. £ 5 In his recent lelter to the Chieago press Sherllf KEn sald: And I marantee, if any neglect, discrepancy, deficlency, or maladministration of any kind or naturc shall be fonud, I will at once withdraw from he convaws fi favor of auy candidate the geutlemon of the Central Democratic Commlites way name.
