An Issue has come up at Cincinnatl which seems eateulated to puzzle the philosophers of the wllra-proteetion school, and even more to embarrass the manufacturers who par- Uelpate in the advantages which a igh tariff gives the privileged classes. ‘The Cine elinntl niltt-owners, It seams, have been senting to Europe for skilted fnbor on ie- count of an inadequate supply at home, ‘The workmen now employed protest against this netion, and threaten that If tho mill- owners persist they will organize to strike down the taritf, ‘Thu fron age, represent- Ing the home manufacturers, maintains that the draft upon Europe for skilled Inbor ts, not in violation of the princlples of protec- tlons and the Taher Tribune, representing “home labor,” insists that the principle of protection is one-slded when a tariff Is mata tained for the purpose of assuring certain Benelits to the manufacturer: white free trade in laborets deprives the Inttar of thelr supposed benefits under that tarlit. ‘Tho Labor ‘Trlne therenrpon gives the follow- ing significant warning: When-you strike down wages, tien no inducement remains for the workmen to uphold the tart” "his promises to be a very pretty fieht. At may occurto an intelligent person that it is extremely impertinent ti this free eon try for a certain class of Inborers, chtetly consisting of foreigners, to malutaty that the owners of mills aud shops shall not send to Burope any more for thely Ivbor, | But haven't these Inborers’ been taught by dis- ciples uf the protection doctrine that they are antitied to usive privileges of om ployment and the blgh rate of wages inel- alent to an absence of competition? Mow ave the foreign Inborers fa America to bo protected from the # pauper labor? of Bue rope, us the Protectlonists have always prom Ivedt they shottd be, Lt tio pauper iaber’? of Europe ty to be freely hnported Into this country? ‘The “pauper tnbor” of Europe transplanted to Amorlean soll is palpa- bly just ag much fof a competition as If its praduets Iu Enrope were admitted to this country free of tax. ‘The Atmerlean manufaeturer, who relies upon the protec: thon of a high tariil to assure hin high prices for hls goods, maintains that itls prop- er elther to exclude forcizn goods of the snino kind he manufactures or elso te assess such Tnportations to an extent which shall enable him te fleece the eansumer, ‘The po- sitlon taken by tho Cineinneatl workinen fs yery mueh the same, In order to keop up thelr wages, they Insist that laborers, shall not be hnported fram Europe, just as thelr employers Insist thatcheap goods shall not be bronght Into tls country to compete with their dear goods, In order to place theme selves preelsely on the same footing with thelr amployers, the tnborers shoul add, “If our employers aro to be parnitted to bring cheap labor Into the country, then tho Taw shoutd provldde that Crom 40 to 7% per cent of the wages puld to these Imported workmen shall be distributed among the home workmen.” If home manufactures are to by protected by the assessment plan, why should not home Inbor be sluilarly pro- tected ? {t will be the mare diMenlt for tho © pro- tected * manufacturers to escape the logie of this argument because they have always maintalned that the principal. mission of n hlgh tari fs to protect homo Inbor, ‘They havo always been so unsulfisn as to omit any mentlon of the advantages which they (the manufacturers) derive from the high tari, But itis palpnble that protection doug not protect labor, and that the high tariff! falls in Ita milssion to keap up wages, when Amerl-+ can employers send to Europo for cheap labor, It id not strange, therefore, that tho trades unions demand that the freo fmportas tlon of cheap Inbor must be stopped, and threaten, If It be not stopped, to attack the tart whieh prevents (he free Importation of the product of cheap labor abroad. THE CHIGAGO PARNELL MEETING, ‘The most striking feature of the fmmense popular meeting held at MeCormlek Hall on Wednesday evening to protest agalust Larnell’s arrest was the lnek of rapport ber tween the speeches andl tha feelings of the mullence, ‘Tho speeches were econsorvatlve, but tho prevalling tone in tho audience was radical and belligerent, ‘Tho speeches en- couraged agitation only; the audience was It.ts fortunate that the speakers did not glvo way to the ebullition of passion whieh the audience obylously do- sired, becuse sich an eshibition would have oxelted the people nsulesly, Passion at asafe distance has always something ridiculous about it, Hot shat at a range of 4,009 miles, snd 1,000 of thatovean, ulways falls short of the mark, The Amerlean public can be relled lipon to syniuathize with the setual wrongs of Iveland, to promote by proper agiiation tho project of land reform, aud to condemn tn the severest tarms the resert to martial hw in time of peace, which alone would enable the arrest of Parnell and others without ware rant and their indefnit Incarceration without trink, At tho same tine the Aimerienn soll is not the praper place ta Incite the Irish people to elyi war, because in doing ao che Ameri cans would urge the Irish to a lapeloss struggle without belne prepated to render them any military aasiatinee, Such encour agament woud ba stllentons If It merely brought out empty mouthings from ‘pro- fessional” Irish patriots in this country, gud ay sua have all be: Knows before the gr eruel Ht ttled to outbreaks and expeditions predestined to slaughter and disaster. Considering the temper of the exasperated Ivishinen th this country, the speeeles at the Chienzo ineeting wero moderate and reas sonable. Mr. We. K, Sullivan, lftaself an Irishman, opened the nieeting In lemperate terms, and dindge McAllister, who presided, polnted out the fogical results of pergistent agitation for tand reform without appealing to the passlons of hits hear ‘She best speech of the aveasion, considered with refersnee to the purposo of the gath- uring. was that made by Mn We ad. Hynes, who addressed Ihmseif to the charneter’ of the grievanees of tho Irish people, aud the remedy whieh ts avall- ublo andor the present: Government. ‘he strongest point he made was the logical con clualon, based upod tho premise of the Irish Land bill, that the English Government has the elght "to buy tho land, tx a vitlie upon It, pay the Iandlord, and sell It to the tennuts, to be pald for in the future,” sture that Gove ernment has asserted the right to fix the rent nnd the tenure of tha tenant, ‘Tha transfer of the land from the absonteo Inndlords to the ownership of the people who work It Is the only permanent remedy against the pov: erty and sufferings of the Trish people; for, howaver fate the rent may be, the people of freland ennnot prosper nor progress so long us the aguregate rental whieh they pay, even thoiigh it be fair in itself, shall continue to be tukéT ont of the country, instead af flow- ing back to the people for the purpose of promoting diversity of Industry and farther progress and development, Perhaps the most amusing divergence of opinion between speaker and audience was furnished -by Dr. Thomas, who seematl to be entirely unaware of the extent of fecl- ing entertained by tho Erish againgt Rugland, nnd who was inelined to instill new hope of aremedy for existing ovlls through coneilia- tlon and English falr-play. Lf Dr. ‘Thomas lad not been so thoroughly good-humored in his remarks we fear they would not have been received with so much consideration. ‘Yhe Mayor matte a characteristic personal- pronoute-l effort tu satisfy the longings of the vrowd for fleree and warltke sentiments, aud atthe same thie propltiate “lls friend, Me.

But thore was tuo inuch ego tn his speech. Altogether the meeting rather suggested an Inguiry as to what Amerteans or the Irish In America enn do to nid the cause of land reform in Ireland, Instead of furnlahing any satls- fuetory answer to such a question, Eprron Scuuuz ts greatly excited because tho New York Republlean State Committee hus Intiniated to some vlllecholdera in that State that a eontribution to the eampaiga fund woukd be acceptable, and in bis righteous indignation tells some yery plan truths ina very plain way, ‘rath the cage of one man who holds a $1,GK) clerkship, and who was requested to forward $40 to the State Committees, na an example, he saya: It may be anid that a taun getting a alors of 81,000 cin afford to contribute 850 ton eum fun. in some cases he cin, but If he hus Intwe famlty to support ho eannot, We have known elerks of exemplary churactor nid bablts who bad to borraw oat high luterust: the money necessary for the payment of the high party ngsessinunts in oa Presidential caminpalgn, and who hud to strusgelo for years and submit to all sorta of privations to yet rhtof thoir debt, We hive Know other Inon wha thorght thomsel vex Justitqed lay miak- Ing what nioney thoy could ly thele offices to | dewnity themsulves for’ tho nasesments levied upon thea for party purposes, and who thon drifted from one enrrapt act dite another, “The ty prinulph: upon which an honest service can be iuaintasned $s that the Government ia entitled to the best efforts of tho publle eervant for the Balnry fe pays him, and thie the public sorvant ts entitled fora fulthtal pertormiice of bis duty to every eat the Government pays bin ns bis own money to be diaposad of ashe pleases.
