SomE interesting studies of the ad- vance in prices during the lasi twelve months have been made by the Pullic, Comparing the prices in the middle of June last year and this, it appears that the advance in grain has been one-fifth, in meats nearly, ono- third, in dairy products nore than one- half; in sugar the advance has been trifling. Altogether the advance has been rather more than 20 per cent; $74.92 being required, June 30, 1882, to purchase the food that could have been puchased Juno 14, 1881, for $69.70. TIn clothing, metals, and lumber there has been scarcely any change in prices. Since Novembor, 1878, the advance in grain has been more than one half, in meats nearly one-halt, in dairy products a little lees, in sugar a very small advance, Altogether the advance of prices in food has been 60 per cent, what in November, 1878, cost $49.64, now costing $74.93. Prices of clothing, metal and lumber have also advanced, but in smaller percentages, Aggre- gating all theso classes of articles, it is shown that what now costs $144.563 cost only §108.76 in November, 1878, Prices at that time were much lower than they were before the war. The artioles included in the Public tables would have cost $134.74 at the prices in January, 1860, and $128.98 a yoar ago. TaE recent railroad accident at Long Branch causes the New York T'imes to moralize over the criminal negligence of railroads and their success in evad- g the penalty of their carelessnces the protection of human life. Tt claims with truth that corporations employ able lawyers and control large funds, which they are always ready to use for the defeat of justice when its shafts are aimed at them. Cascs against them arising from what are called ‘‘accidents” are delayed until the facts are well-nigh forgotten and sufferers have no help from public sentiment, and then they get off with very inadequate penalties for their wrong doing, So long as the condi- tion of the law and the method of its administration admit of this, we must expect that negligence and reckless- neas will continue. The managers of the companies will take chances which would be carefully avoided if disasters resulting from careless. ness were sure to bring upon them prompt and heavy lossos. Aside from the question of criminal penalties, provision ought to be made for summarily exacting damages of a severely exemplary character for every loas of life or injury to person, Dam- ages for such loss and injury can only be exemplary, for no money will pay family and friends for the visitation of death. There can be no adequate compensation for anguish and suffer- ing or for permanent mutilation, But if the law provided that railroad com- panies should pay $100,000 for every life destroyed and correspondingly large sums for personal injuries in- flicted through their own neglect or the carelessness of their servants thore would be & diminution of these disas ters. They would be too expensive to | | A WEAK MAKESHIFT. Pig Iron Kelly is boasting very loudly over the passage of the inter- This nal revenue bill by the house measure, which is a very weak make” | shift, if passed by the senate and signed by the president, will reduce | the receipts of the internal revenue | departmeny gome § 000,000 through the repeal of the taxes on bank checks, matches, peafumery, patont medicines | and the reduction of the stamp tax on | cigarottes, This wonderful achieve: | ment is the result of months of bat. | tling in the committee on ways and moans, in which all the resources and | the monopoly brought to bear upon its members in | groat lobby were | order to secure a still greater decrease in the internal revenue with the hope of preventing any reduction in the tariff. The entire annual revenue of our government £400,000,000 Last year wo had a surplus revenus of £150,000,000, which sum represents the amount uselessly extracted by direct and indirect taxation from the pockets of the people. Even with the extravagant appropriations of the present congress the surplus at the end of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1883, will be in the neighkorhood of $85,000,000. At the opening of the session of congress the appeal of the encire exceeds country was for an immediate and heavy reduction of taxation. The people who are taxed through au in- congrous and iniquitous tanff on every article of domestic consumption demanded & spoedy rovision of the tariff. Their demands were met by the appointmeant of a tariff commis- sion, which will postpone any ro- vision of our custom dutios forat least the internal revenue taxes which affect the pockets of the producers least of all should be decreased to the tune of $70,000,000. This plan was advocat- ed by Judge Kelly, who is tho cham- pion of the protected intereats, and who fought with all the vigor of a special attorney after a fat fee eve.y attempt to lower the duties. Judge Kelley’s plan was original and seweep- ing. He proposed to lift all taxation from tobacco, and continue the taxes on sugar and blankets, on iron and wool, the articles of universal con- sumption by rich and poor. The taxes which have been repealed were war ineasures, and ought long ago to have disappeared from the stat- us books. But Mr. Kelley and his party aro seriously mistaken if they imagine for a moment that the coun- try will be satisfied with the sop whish has been thrown at it by the ways and means committee of which he is chairman. THWARTING MAJORITIES. At a meeting held o fow days ago in Lincolu the following peculiar resolu- tion was presented and passed by a unanimous vote: “‘Resolved, That we hold every man an enemy of his country who would in any way thwart tho will of the ma- jority.” Since when has a man who attempts to change s majority to a minority been classed as a public enemy? Is it not a fact that every great retorm has been accomplished through opposition to majority sentiment! Were Riohard Cobden and John Stuart Mill publio enemies when they urged through parliament after parlinment the repeal of the corn laws, although at first op- posed by an overwhelming majority of English voters? How would the Lin- coln convention class tho original abolitionists, who were an insignifi- cant minority when they titst preacted their crusade against slavery? Who to-day denounces them as publio enomios! Every great wrong strongly en- trenched behind a mistaken public opnion has been righted through re- sistance to majorities. The ranks of “‘public enemies” according to the definition quoted have been swelled by the names of the greatest statesmen of the present and past age. Our na- tional history is rich with the achiove- ments of minorities which have be- come majorities only by opposing the principles or theories of the majorities which they succeeded. The voice of the poople is not always the voice of God, and right on the scaffold in the end triumphs over wrong on the throne, Every one will concede that when the will of the majority has crystalized itself into law, resistance to law becomes crime. For this there cangbe no excuse. The only resort which remains for the minority in such a case is to repeal the law which they believe to be opposed to the principles of good government or in antagonism to a sound political ecoro- my. This can only be done by in- fluencing public sentiment and the majority is thwarted by itaelf aiding in transferring the unority into a majority. The sooner the idea is dispelled that a minority has no rights which the ma- jority is bound to respect, the better it will be for all classes of our people who are interasted in the workings of representative government. While it is one of the leading principles of & democracy that wajorities must rule, it is also just as important a prineiple that nothing shall impede the right of free discussion, and that recog- nition must be accorded that large dissolved and a Ouly thoso can register and vote who are not disqualified by the provision of tho anti-polygamy bill,the disqual tion consisting in living in the poly- gamous rolation with more than portion of the act relating to the duties of the commiseion provides: #ho conduct of ole or rejection of votes and the convas ning and .roturning of the same, aud 'HE DalLY BEE- OMAHA TU body of our citizens who form the in- telligent minority on every groat ques: tion of the day. Tt is the opposition of strong minorities which acts as the balance wheel to our political system and and holds in check ambition in trigue fortified a weighty and pos erfu! public sentiment. It is nocrime to honestly agree with a minority and | to work for its principles and the time | is very far distant when a man who attempts to thwart the will of a ma jority will be genorally classed in this froo country as a “public enemy."

As those aro numerically fow when com- pared with the whole Mormon popu- lation, there is no hove that the terri- torial legislature will be placed in Geontile hands. The roliof which the board will cause will be only tem- porary, as the powers of the commis- eion close when the legislative assem- bly is organized. What is there to keep affairs whon this takes place, from falling at once into the same old rut with the wole exception that voting and holding offices by n small winority will be prohibited. Like all other commissions created by the present congress, the Utah i merely a means to meet a popular de- commiseion mand by the appointment of a how not-to-do-it board of commissioners.

Fed: ‘axation. Buffalo Express, The problem of tariff reform having been postponed for one, two, or three years—nobody knows how long—by the appointment of a how not-to-do-it commission, and the subject of reduc- ing iiter1 a’ revenue taxation having been pushed upon congress by the ad- vocates of protected industries, wn had yesterday the nutural result of such a olicy in an attempt to lift all taxation rom tobacco. Next will doubtless be a free-whisky or a free-beer scheme, To tax the sugar and the blankets and the pots and kettles of the people, and to furnish them tobacco and whisky free—this is the financial policy to- ward which the Forty-seventh - gross scems to bo working its odious way. It needs no acquaintance with principles of political economy show anybody the utter viciousness of this policy, If there are in the world any productions that are pure- ly luxuries and absolutely unneces- sary, thoy are whisky and tobacco, 1f taxation makes them hard to get and discourages their use, all the better, Taxation is no burden to the com- munity in this case. Oun the contrary, it is o benefit. This is all the more tho fact because the tax falls exclu- sively on the consumer. It burdens nobody else. To lift such taxes as these, and leave the enormous bur- dens of the war-tariff on articles of common necessity and universal use is a policy so monstrous, an abuse of statesmanship so gross, that words fail to fitly characterizo it. But that, there is too much reason to fear, is what we are coming to, The revenue is so superabundant that it must be reduced. No party can face the country and justify taxation which puts into the treasury $100,- 000,000 & year more than sufticient to supply the needs of our wantonly ex travagant government. Of course all considerations of justice, of experi ence, and of good sense, dictate the reduction of tariff rather than internal the to revenue taxation, The tariff Ym- duces necarly a hundred million dollars & year more than the {nternal revenue. The tariff doubles the cest of every pound of sugar and more than doubles the cost of every article of iron or of wool— those articles of universal consump- tion by rich and poor. But the action of congress on the tariff commission shows that the pro- about two miles east of Elijah Filley's, which resulted in the killing outright of Master Charie Ramsey, He had been working in the field, and on seeing a storm coming up, starte 1 to the house, and not havivg time to unhitch his team, left them atthe han, When about midway be- tween the house and barn he was struck by lightning.
