Lasr Friday tha price of corn in St. Louts Was 638{ cents, belmg 5 cents per bushelabove the price in Chicago, ng it had been for sev eral days, Yesterday the prico tu St. Louls was G4 cents ant in Chiengo 6334 cents. Yot on Jast Friday an‘offer was made in Chieago to Bhip 50,000 bushela by rail from St. Touis to.Boston, and thence yin steamor. to Liver- pool, at 70 cents per bushel, Ineluding all charges, Now, at 30 cents per 100 through rate from Chicago by rail to Buston and thence hy steamer to Liverpoul, the cost on that day would have been 8} cents: per bushel, though our market was’ then 533¢ cents. The price above uoted would not ad- tit of more than 1857 cents par LOU pounds from St. Louls to Liverpool. It was reported sthat~corn was taken yesterday down the Mississipp!

It nad been ‘elalined, for exsmple, that the tremendous ‘power of Conkling was shown by the vote of hia home county (Oneldw®, which was as fol- lows: % é Rassett anti-Cautcing), Attorney-Goneral.10,1 Husted (antl-Conkling), Treasure! oo00]0, 10S ‘The whole excess of Cart’s vote m ightensily be explained by the fact that he Is an Irish Catholic, and the Land League had a Repub- Itean (Conkling) candidate nominated for the Assombly, who was elected as the Republican Alderman recently was In tho Seventeenth Ward of Chicago. Even with this advantage Carr led Davenport, who voted ngninst Conkling in the Legisinture in every ballot, by only 287 votes, and Russell, an usncompro- ising antl-Conklinglte, by 182 votes, and even the, wretched Husted, who was de- servedly Scratched for his atep-Indder ex- plolt and ‘ble supposed tnfriendliness to co- operative Insurance, by only 780 votes, of which butg17 were cast for the Democratic candidate. If this.

Thoy inanufncture nothing which they will sell in othor. countries as cheaply as the Engtlsh sell, If Congress werete give Roach an order fora hundred steamers the protectionists lava no goods to ship abrond on them that could be gold ata profit, Take tho English, Fronch,or Ger man price of goods, and add the protective tariff thoreto, and you linve tho price of do- + mestic “protected” goods, “ It is absurd to tuk of slipping such goods to forelgn nar- kets, But Roach wants to be subsidized, He ia after plunder. But Roach thinks that he has as much right to rob the taxpayers as the steel wool has to charge the railroads -stwo prices for rails. Hence ho is going round bellowing for subsidies. Tuz.Cicaco Tron has repeatedly urged that 250,000,000 to $60,000,000 of the surplus revenue derived from iquor, instead of being donated to the dvalors, be appropri- ated aunually among the States to ald in bullding up snd malntaluing treo sclivols for he education of the people, Svlouls are the only effectual opponent of the eyils of the liquor traftic, But to this Afr, Kelley and his convention enter.thelr protest, Thoy tiave ‘discovered a body of needy ond long-suifer- ing philanthropists, great social and moral Teformers—the retailers of whisky! ‘To these Mr, Kelley proposes to surrendor fitty to sixty-millions of dollars of revenue from the Treasury annually thas they may have greater profits for thelr xrog-shops, Nota dollar for free schools, but williions for free saloons, Not a dollar to educate the poor, the Iguorant, the children of drunkards, but uillilons to create new distilleries, new grok shops, to-tralu additloual inmates for the alinshouses, for the insane asylums, for the jutls, the reformatories, the penitentiaries, and the gillowa, ‘ re Aly, Kelley has discovered that whisky/is : y x. es ’ THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1881-TWELVE PAGES, ' not mado fur drinking, and Is not use for that purpose, but only for medicine; and that {ots matufnetured almost exelusively to bo used in tho arts and poor mun'’s medieiies, suiclt ns “scheldain solnapps,” cocktails, gli. slings, erg-nog, and other medical prescrlp- tidna compounded by the pharmaccutists in Bhirt-st¢cves.

It ta ensily within the memory of our readers the rilienle whieh was bestowed upon Theodore Thomas: when fie first introduced his music in this country, ane yet today nothing «dvaws on the ‘Thomas progranis like tha Wagnerinn musie, and no opera in the modern repertory 1s grected. with Inrger hotses than “Lohengrin”? In Germany Wagner has triumphed. ‘In Italy. ho has had enthusiastic hearings. Even in France, lis old enemy, hts music las forced its way, In England his star is about to shine at its brightest. In January next Carl Rosa will producu “ Rienzi,” tho " Flying Dutelunan,” “ Tunnhiluser,” and“ Lohen- grin” in English, In April Wagner himself WHI go to England to superintend the pro- duction of. the “ Nibelungen Ring” at Mer Majesty's Theatre, At the Drury Lane The- atre, Indiine, Hichter will conduct ‘Phe Flying Dutehoan,” 'Tannhiluser,” “ Lo- hongrin,? tha ‘ Melstersiinger,” and "Tris- tan and Isolde” ‘Tho crowning event of the great composer's career will be the prdduc- tion of his new opera, “ Parslfal’? at’ Bay- reuth In July next. Triumph has been tardy, but it will be none the less welcome, “rhe ald man elaqnent” ti music has fought a good fight, and deserves the victory, Tue true inwardness of tho « Statwart spoils-hunters was well sét forth yesterday In the Interview of our correspondent “Gary”? with a prominent Ohio “Stalwart,” who discloses the purpose of the faction which has been unexpectedly placed In control of the Government by the dark deed of Gulteau. When asked whether there would be a com- ptete change of offices, and If he thought the people would stand ft, he quickly replied: I think it will happen; and T think the people willbe plonged with it, ‘hls ery of the dear ople not itking anything of that kind fs ull sh, The dear peo ie would be- pleased if a complete revolution in_ollices would tuke placa every three months. There is. yery little syni- pathy with cho Ideas advanced by the Sunday- acho! politicians, that there should ve an nris- tocracy ot ofticeholders, and that no ane should bo removed when the Administration changes, Why, that 13 the very ronson for the chunge of Adrpinistration, That ls why # man’s friends try to put bli in ollice. Meo aro all selfish be~ ings; and it is expecting fur too much to asic that a man’s friends sbull push him forward forever and be nut do anything in return, ‘This doctrina that offices are constituted as rewards for the friends of the person who has them at his disposal, and that this Is the Alpha and Omega of Stalwart ideas of Re- publicanism, wasenunelated by Managan. of ‘Texas, in the convention Itself, who sald: “What ore we up here for? I menn that members of the Napublican party aro entl- ted to office, and If we are victorious we will have the ofllces.” ‘These words were spoken In detlance of clvil-service reform—in defiance of the rule that offices should be Milled by persons selected with reference to the elfictency of the public service, and with reference to the honesty, fldetity, and capacity of appointeos, nid now they are reiterated, | ‘Tux lusantty dodge recelyed anothor set- back yesterday when Guiteau, dreading the ordeal through whioh he must pass, objected to tnking the. stand at that time because he did not feel equal to the task of sustaluing the severe cross-exafiination to which he knew he woult! be subjected.

The Court very properly ruled that a witness should not be allowed to exor- clso guich a choles, and that the examination once begun could not be suspended except by consent of counsel on the other side, whereupon Gulteau nodded his head ap provingly and remarked; “That's the rule, Judge, as £ understand.” He was sane enough to attempt to seeuro the Court's In- dulgence, and, filing tu get It, anne enough to quietly accept the ruling agalnst him and to recognize Its fntrneas.

At this rato It will require but a fow years to discharge all the debt. - Mr. Kelley is opposed to paying tho debt. Ie claimed that to refuse to Abolish the Internat-revenue taxes would “show a disrogard of the tenchings of the fathers and the cherished trailltions of the (Kelley Is always great on the for more tariff taxes on the people.) Ie says tha elvit-service reform demands the aboll- tlon of Internal reventie; that the Government. may dismiss its army of 4,000 cmnloyod per- sons, thus saying $4,000,000 of- expenditure that the “repeal of the excises on whisky would put an end to the vlolntions of the law agalust itticltdlstillation by moonshtiners” and rolease the country of the cost of proso- euting those who persist in not paying the taxes, nnd give peace to the moonshtnors In those districts where there aro numbers of revenue oficers murdored every year. Tlicso faxes should be repeated beeause, Mr. Ketloy polnts out, they restrict our trate; they add $150,000,000 to the cost of our Internnl pro- duction, and this, by burdening our indns- tries, aids our " British competitors.” Presl- dent Gartield, says Mr. Kelloy, was sadly in error when he said that the citizens who pat tho spirit tax made a “voluntary contribu- ton’? to the revenues of’ the Government, On the contrary, sald’ Mr, Kelley: - ‘The sick and the dying pay this tux, Itdraws on the resources of every dispensury or otnor establishment for tho reliof of invalid poor, Tho good wife in Mainour Kansea, bowovervealously. sho muy desire to support the prohibltory law of the Stato, pays it whin she prepares her cam phor orarnica bottic.

Isiment. [Four-ffths of all tho alcohol manufuctured in the United Stutos is consumed over saloon bars, and Kelloy knows 1.—Eb, Trivune.) Apartirom economies considerations, Mr. Kelley referred to the fact that one-third of the revenue of Great Britain was dertyed from taxes on the liquor traMle, and thon our venerable Philadelphinn oxpressed his horror by saying: “Surely every phitanthro- plat will pray thatthe day may never come when our Government may be thus enslaved by the Iquor trafic.” Auother reason given why these taxes should be repeated is, that if they were abolished thera would be absolute free trade among all the fifty millions of free people In this country? It will bo seen that Mr, Kelloy Ignored tho real reason why ho and hig followers seek the repenl of these popular internnl-reyenue taves, and that is, that “more tarlif” on con- sumers may be demanded, He wants a fork of taxes that only affords one dollar of rey- enue out of every three to five dollars of tax taken out of the people, Under his moral and benevolent mask are the features of an old hypoerit, If retaining the whisky tax would tend to Increase tarlif taxes on ‘ron, steel, glass, and clothing, Kellcy would light its re- peal or reduction tooth and nall. If Ingreas- ing the whisky tax would have the effect of increasing tariff taxes he would demand that it be doubled, “4 i Internal tax fs all revenue, Jess the cost of collection; protectlon tarlif tax Produces only revenue as an Incident. | President Garfleld was right when he de- clared that a tax on whlaky was a tax whieh was purely voluntary, Any mancould avold it wholly or partially as he might think proper. It was optional with every man whether he bought a glass of whisky or not; and so the payment of any part of tho tax was one which no law Imposed on hilm.- Mr, Kelley’a scheme 18 to minke & present annually of $50,000,000 to the Iquor-tenlers in the United States. Tho consumers of whiaky—thoso who buy It over the counter—pay the tax. In a gallon of whisky there are sixty-flve to seventy ordl- nury drams; the tax on whisky ‘Is 90 cents a gallon, or ubout 14¢ cents per drink, Whisky isretatled at varluus pricos; for the best 15 cents u drink, two drams for 25 cents;-throe for 25 cents, 10 cents a single swig, and bad | rotgut at five cents o swig. These prices will continue To be pald, tax or no tax; the Imposition of the tax makes no difference to the consumers; they buy the whisky, and will continue to buy it at the current prices per drink whether the 1-cent tax per dram be repeated or nob, > So in the caso of beer, The tax on beer [3 $1 per barrot of thirty-two gallons, It fs re- tallied at flye cents per ginss, Tho tax por glass (3 a fraction over o quarter of a cent,‘ ‘The tax makes no dilference to the cou. sumer, No consumer of beer or whisky complains of the quarter of a cent tax, His beer and his whisky will cost him just the sine whother the tax be kept on or taken off. Who, then, is to be benetlted by the re movnl of the tax? The selers—the men who retall, and not those who buy by retail, All the beer manufactured Is drank, No beer ts used fn tho arts, Fully 80 percent of all the atcohol distilled in the United States finds its way down people’s throats. ‘There Is more: whisky dlstilled in Peoria alone than would aupply nll the arta in the United States, Kolley’s blatherabout the re- of of tho invalyl poor by the use of un- taxed whisky ts pretty thin, and only means that be wants the excise repented In ardor to have ay excuse. for howllug for more tarlit taxes on consumers, ers ‘Tue ample fact of Gulteau’s habitual caue tlonagainat the dapger of belng shot Is suf cientalone to stamp iim as sane, When callud to the witness-stand on Monday he proceeded nervously, requested permission of the Judge to be seated, and, in a, whispor, asked the Deputy Marshula to protect his body with their persons, .

HI8COOR'S CANDIDACY FOR SPEAKER, Seeretary Blaino testified In the Quiteau trial the other day that he was the Inventor of the terin “ Stalwartism”’ as originally em- ployed in American polltles. ‘Chis 1s true, butthe “Stalwartism” of Seeretary Btalne was totally different from tho "Stalwart sin? which designates the Conkling sclioot of politicians, Stalwartlsm has como to mean New-Yorkism, It is merely another name forthe Now York machine and tis methods, Jt ig © loeal desiguation for Bosstsm and spoils-getting, just as ‘Tammany is among the Democrats, As '!ammany lus, on many occasiens, extended its influence outside of New York over the affairs of tha Domocratie party, so it. Is now the ambition of the Now York Stalwarts to put themselves incomplete control of the Republican party and the National responsibilities whieh havo been contided to that party, The candldncy of Mr. {iseoek for the Spenkership of the Houso of Representa- tives, though not concetyed origtially in tho Interest of Now York Statwartism, hns been perverted Into s more “Stalwart? moye- ment His election to the tost Important and Infhtential position In Congress, carry: ing with It a reversionary succession to the Presidency, will bo Just as much a trinmph for New York Stalwartism as was the ap- pointment of Judge Folger as Secretary of the ‘Treasury. Illscock sturted out 1 tho race for the Spenkership lmmediately after tho lection of Gen. Garfield. At that tino he did uot come forward as a representative of “Stalwartism.” Indeed, jie seomed to be “entirely wilting to antagonize Conkling, who was then tha New York Boss, if such course should prove of advantage to hls own aspirations; at all events, he professed to hold himself independent of the New York clique which hay taken possession of the term “Stalwart?

It Is of moment that the arguments used by Mr. Hiscock and his friends during the closing days of the Hayes Administration, when the contest for the next. Speakership was inaugurated, have been reversed, and are today as strong when waged In opposl- Uon to hia electlon as they were at that time {n bls fayor, Then he maintiined that the great State of New York was entitled to recoguition in some high Government place, He polnied out that Ohio had the Presidency, the ‘Treasury portfollo,.tho Chivf-Justlee of the Supreme Court, the General of the Army, tha French. Mission, and so on; and he elaimed that New York, with its 5,000,000 of people and seventy Electoral votes, should haye the Spenkershlp. Considerable forca was goneated to that argument then, Dnt how completely the assastn’s bullet changed the situation, New York lias now ali the ehlof places in the National Government, ‘The President is a New-Yor! the Secretary of the Treasury ly a Now- Yorker; to Postmnater-Genoral is 2 Now-Yorker; the Minister {o Franco is a New-Yorker; the Assistant Secretary of the'Treasury is a New-Yorker, Itis said that the Assistant Seorotary of State under the now Cabinet will bo a Now-Yorker, - It {3 not finprobablo that Prealdont Arthur will appolnt a New-Yorker to the existing va- cancy on the Supreme Bench; indeed, it 9 sald that the new Secretary of the Treasury isto be assigned to the Supremo Bench in order to make room fn his present depart. iment for & much moro obnoxious New- Yorker (Br.
