Omnio republicans are shouting glory wver the prospects of party success at the polls, but hard work, and not wind, telis on election day. Nenraska merchants laugh at rumors of panic while the prospect for an abun- dant harveat continues as it is at present. Two million of acres of corn will break tho back of any panic that manages to work its way as far west as Nebraska. UspEroROUND telegraphy continues to be something more than an experiment in Chicago. The Postal Telegraph com- pany and the Electric Light company are doing an uninterrupted and satisfactory business with their wires in under ground conduits. —_— Tur Postal Telegraph company opened business between Boston and Chicago with 438 messages the first day and 1,600 the second. At this rate it will not be many months before the Postal will be forced into a consolidation with the Western Union. “Tur best schools the world over,” says Professor Wickersham, ‘‘are to be found among people who tax themselves for their support, and education is uni- versally held in the highest esteem by those who have been taught to pay for it with money from their own _pockets.” Sosx hairbrained correspondents at Lincoln have been sending dispatches to eastern papers to the eftect that the capi- tal mandamus suit is purely a political move to expose republican corruption in connection with the building of the state <apitol. . If the whole facts were known it would be seen that democratic mem- bers of the legislature had as big a finger in Mr. Stout's pio as those of the oppo- #ito party. The democracy in Nebraska are nbt yot in a condition to boast that thoy possess a monopoly of public mor- ality. The succession of heavy failures this year has undoubtedly shown the need of a bankrupt law and it is to be h*ped that congress will not be to busy next season to perfoct and enact a good law. All the large failures have been of firms with business in several states and the oper- ation of local insolvency laws is not likely to conduce to the husbanding of the rc- yources of tho bankrupt and the just sat- Fyfactlon of eroditors, Out experlonce under the last bankrupt law was long enough to furnish tho basis for its im- provement and perfection and this work «hould no longer be noglected. ‘Tux petroleum field of California is re- ported by a visitor from the Pennsylvania «il district to be a promising source of future wealth, The surface oil is thick and only fit for lubrication, but at 100 feot illuminating oil is reached. Boring is through hard rock and it costs -about $7000 to sink a well that distance, but a 50-barrel well will yield $100,000 worth of petroleum. The district extends from Nowhall to Santa Barbara, 200 miies. Newhall is the present refining center, where the oil is gathered by pipe lines and tank cars. Great attention is being paid to the product as a fuel, as it is far cheaper than coke, and experiments are being made to test its use in reducing the low grade iron ores of the same re- gion. Judge Black's death has caused a pro- found sensation in Pennsylvania where personal affoction for the judge was united to public esteem, Mr, Black was without question, the most distinguished Ponnsylvanian since the days of Mr. Buchanan, A profound lawyer with a mind equipped by years of study and exorcised in the discussion of great ques- tions of constitutional interpretation, he eaaily lod the bar of his state and will Jong bo remembered as one of the great- st ornaments of her supreme bench, As a political controversialist Judge Black was scarcely less noted than as a forensic debater, He wlilded & trenchant pen, His style was forcible and consdensed almost to & fault. His sledge hammer blows broke down sham and exposed fallacies in & manner which mad>s their author & most dangerous opporent, in orgument, Mr, Black was especially powerful in attack. As a critic of public men and measures he never approached a subject unless fully equipped for the discussion and his method of treatment generally exhausted his sido of the ques- tion. Yersonally Mr. Black was & man of spotless integrity and unblomished morals. In all his sacial relations he bore himself as & manly man and a conscien- tious christian. The universal outburst of grief which his death has called forth in Pounsylvania, without reference to party is the best tribute to his worth, THe BUS The week which clused on Saturday was remarkable as showing the sound coudition of trade and its ability to resist unfavorable speculative influences, The rapid decline and subsequent rally in stocks might have been expected to create a panicky feeling in legitimate business. But no serious disturbance oceurred and the list of failures for the week was smaller than for the one preceding. The only influence of the excitement on the stock exchanges was to make the negotia tion of commercial paper more difficult in eastern banks and to restrain specula- tion in manufactured goods and produce. Trade in general is showing a gradual and hopeful improvement. Supplies of grain and other products came forward more freely, and the call for autymn stocks of manufactured goods from points west and south has generally increased. The distributive trade of interior centres, especially in the west and northwest, has considerably improved. All things con- sidered. the developments of the week were not unsatisfactory so far as the position and prospects of the merchandise markets are concerned, and the week closed with a much stronger and better feeling apparent in financial and stock circles. The week's failures numbered 170, as against 182 for the week before. New England had 22; the Middle states 21; Western states, b7; Southern states, 23; Pacific states, 12; Now York City, 6; Canada, 20. The grain markets were fairly active, The Philadelphia Record quotes the visible supply at the end of the week as showing an increase of 1,650,000 bushels of wheat and adecreaseof 127,000 bushels of corn. Export trade has been moder- ate, tho clearances from Atlantic ports for the week aggregating a little over 1,- 000,000 bushels of wheat and less than 800,000 bushels of corn. The movement of corn from country points continued liberal, but the large interior con- sumption prevented any accumulation of stocks. As the ‘eason advances moro definite information in regard to the year's yield of wheat is coming to hiand from all quarters. France, which last year had 105,000,000 hectolitres—oqual to 262,600,000 bushels—is expected this year to turn out only 85,000,000 hec- tolitres, which means a shortage of 50,- 000,000 bushels. As French imports last year were something like 50,000,000 bushels, it is probable that 100,000,000 will be required during the coming year. In England the weather has been un- favorable, and every indication points to a larger shortage than was anticipated a month ago. English importations lnst year were 150,000,000 bushels. The Huugarian crop is now reported to be 20 per cent short. There is no official report concerning the India crop, but pri- vate cable advices represent the outlook as unfavorable, The same mny be said of Russia, In this country the crop is generally conceded to be » bout 100,000,- 000 bushels less than last year,and of the actual yield much is inferior in quality. Spring whoat by latest advices has been harvested in the belt of country south of the Northern Pacific railroad, and is gen- erally in good condition. Corn is ripen- ing very slowly, owing to the lack of hot, forcing weather throughout the corn belt, and there is some apprehension of possi- ble injury by early frosts. AN animated and unintoresting cone troyorsy about free trade is being carvied on by our amiable morning contemporar- ies, Freo trade is about as much an is- sup in politics to-day as abolitionism, Neither party wents it, neither could secure it if thoy did. What the people are interested in and what thoy will de mand is such a reduction of the present exorbitant tarviff as will be sufficient to raiso a revenue large enough to support the government on a sound but an eco- nomical basis, Those who know any- thing, know as long as pension payments aggregato a hundred millions a year and large sums are required to fund the na- tional debt and prosecute needed public improvements, that even approximats free trade will be impossible. For a quarter of a century at least we shall be forced to lovy a tarift upon imports, aver- aging from 16 to 20 per centum, in order to meet the demands upon tho public treasury. That with the cost of ocean carriage will give a large amount of inci- dental protection to American industry, The fault with our present tariff is that it affords too much protection to Ameri- can monopoly, It could bear a reduc- tion of at least $60,000,000 a year with- out affecting the revenue required to run the government, That would mean a reduction of several dollars a year in taxation to every man, woman and child in the country, because the effect of the tariff in preventing foreign competition isto raise the prices by considerably more than the amount of the tax im- posed on raw materials or manufactured articles imported. The country wishes taxation reduced as much as possible; but there is no de- mand for free trade, because free trade is an impossibility, and must remain so for wany years to come, Tk law oxprossly forbids councilmen from having any interest in contracts with the city.

It will require perhaps an_earthquake or a cyclone to bring svmething like de cency or of order and consistency out of the howling wilderness of confusion and contradiction among democratic organs and y oliticians as to modes and purpuses of taxation and as to the claims of tarif reform to be n leading issue, or any issue at all, in current politics,. The authors of the revenue planks in the Virginia and Pennsylvania democratic platforms insulted popular intelligence by propos- ing to put and perpetuate all J".-:lmnl taxation in the indirect form of a tariff on i ta, with incidental protection to favored industries. On the other hand, there are prominent democrats, United States senators and members of congress, who are voting tariff reform a bore which should be summarily sent _to.the rear of the grand movement for supplanting the republican party in the monopoly of power and tha offi Nevertheless, the whole question of federal taxation comes to the front in political discussion, with every indication that it will stay until the accomplishment of a great reform, The Atlanta Constitution s one of the demo- cratic papers that do not underrate the importance or the urgency of the ques- tion, *‘We are disposed occasionally,” remarks the Constitution, “‘to invest the matter of state taxation with something like importance, but when it is borne in mind that every tax-payer pays 88 to the federal government where he pays 81.256 to the state, the real importance of the discussion hecomes apparent. While we have all been talking about and arguing against a purely theoretical form of centralization, namely, Federal encroach- ment against the rights of the states, the corruptionists in powerhavebeen advanc- ing upon the line of practical centraliza- tion until their levy upon the people amounts to plunder. In lieu of encroach- ments upon the rights of the state we have encronchments upon the rights and pocket of the citizen; and these encroach- ments have grown so gradually, and yet 80 steadily, that few peolxlu are aware of their nature and extent.” And it may be added that in the mysterious but inex- orable working of the “indirect taxation of the present tariff, for every eight dollars paid to the Federal govern- ment as revenue more than twice that amount is taken by the hook of pro- tection as bounty to special interests. As people begin to see how enormous and unequal are the burdens imposed by this form of indirect taxation, which taxes with one hand through duties on im- orted merchandise, and with the other hand through the enhanced prices of do- mestic products or the diminished pur- chasing power of money, it is no wonder that many persons are inclined to favor the policy of striking at the root of the evil. and destroying it beyond the possi- bility of its revival, by abolishing the whole tariff system. "The New York World has boldly bid for popularity with people of this way of thinking by proposing to substituto an income tax for_ customs duties for the support | of the government, The World is mis taken, however, when it argues that by contining the tax to private incomes above stated figure the burden of providing a revenue for the government would be placed upon the wealthy classes. If in- tended as a scheme to compel the rich to divide—their accumulations with the poor by saddling the former with the bulk of taxation, it would necessarily and utterly fail. Taxes inevitably equalize themselves. No matter where the f direct or first indirect incident of a tax is, the producer, who is of nesessity also to some extent a consunier, must pay it at last, Hempst pay it, even apart frofit consumption, ‘In the diminished wmount or exchangeable value of his pro- duction. A tax on th ate incomes of the rich would irresistibly ditruse itself until it fell upon the Iabor, the produc- tions and the earnings of the industrious poor. This it would do by making dear- er elements that form the raw materials of industry, increasing the cost of living, diminishing the purchasing power of money. Ne lnlcnx, in principle, an income tax, wisely devised and honestly and efficiently administered, would come nearer than any other method of taxation to the ideal of tax reform. Such a tax would conform to Adum Smith's maxim that each citizen ought to contribute to the public revenue in proportion to the private revenue which he enjoys under the protection of the State, awakening determination of the people. The final thought that will werk into pronounced form will be, that on_such things as live by directly drawing tribute from the great mass on the people like the telegraph and rail roads, there must bo no more money col- Jected than will pay a fair interest on the cost, together wit‘n ranning expenses, And the reason given will be that under the old rule a few individuals are per- mitted to accumulate fortunes #o tremen- dous that they are a perpetual menace to the business and contentment of the peo- ple, and the solution will be the govern- ment will have to condemn, purchase and manage both the telegraph and the rail- roads. —— The Strike trom Mr. Go point. 's Stand- T | The Modern Age for Sentember. That astute and far-secing gentleman named Jay Gould has probably been de- prived of very little sleep by the strike of the telegraph operators. 1f the dear public has suffered inconvenience by be- ing thrown back fifty years in _its meth- ods of inter-communication, Mr. Gould is doubtless sorry, but then how could he help it if the operators would insist on not working, because they imagined they were under-paid and over-worked? No amount of argument on his part would convince these wrong-headed fellows that their grievances were purely imagmary. Besides, ~Mr. Gould is mot an ortor, and he really hasn't the time to take ecach one off separately and tell him how much mistaken mere_employees aro apt to be when dealing with the vexed questions of capital and labor, We can picture the dear man sighing over the pervs the operators and adjusting hims a more comfortable position in his stenmer chair, prepared to take a more general view of the situation. The dear public would doubtless become dissatistied with the idea of their electric communication being hampered and at times cut off whenever a dispute arose between the companies and the operators. To some newspaper fellow or other would occur the bright idea that the only way to pre- vent such occurrences in the future would be for the government to take the telegraph lines into its own hands, The Western Union company would gladly do all it could to faciliate business over its lines, but of course it could not be expected to yield to the outrageous demands of the strikers. And poor Mr Gould sighed again as he thought of the poor public growing more and more im- patient as the strike continued and the necessity for the government’sowning the telegraph became ‘morc and more ap- parent to the people. Against the time that congress convened there might arise a public howl in favor of taking Mr. Gould's telegraph lines away from him. We are afraid Mr. Gould didn't start up with horror when this thought oe- curred to him. He doubtless sighed again more deepl than before, and let his mind dwell on all the nice, fresh water there was in that eighty mil- lions of Western Union stock. It wasn't a ploasant prospect to give up all that water for the bulky surplus of gold eagles and standard dollars with which the United States treasury is said to be over- flowing, but Mr. Gould doul tless knows how to manufacture some more water. And then, pethaps, Mr. Goul U's guileless mind turned towardsa calculation of how many congressmen, at how much apiece, he would have to buy to keep the gov- ernment froum going ahead and building its own lines instend of buying the West- ern Union's plant. Congressmen might come high but he must have them. Ten per cent. on eighty millions would buy quite & number of congressmen, - With fifty per cent, of water in the eighty millions and ten per cent, (outside figures) for conuressmen at market rates, poor Mr. Gould would have only thirty-two millions of water to ex- change for gold and silver dollars. Once more the little man sighed and glanced along the deck of his yacht as he thought what a mercenary world this is, and how much trouble striking operators and an unfeeling public combine to place on the shoulders of a confiding millionaire. The Cost of 8 rikes. 8t. Louis Repablican, Thero is something almost pathetic in the history of labor strikes in the last thirteen years as told to the U. S. committee now engaged in invest the relations betwgen capital and labor, The record shows that there have been in this country and Europe 2,524 strikes, lasting in the aggregate 9,027 weeks or 54,162 days, and resulting in aloss to thestrikers of $22,237,000. Of the whole number 72 are known to have been won by the strikers, 91 were compromised, 189 were lost and about 2,000 are unac- counted for, though it is supposed they too were lost. It would appear then that when a strike is made tho chances are 2,280 to 72, or 30 to 1, that it will fail, ducted with more or less disregard for decency. The refusal of the county comumissioners to license saloons near the thing in the Republic, The Postal Telegraph. Salt Lake Tribune. With that peculiar convervatism which attaches to many believers in the old ultra stato rights doctrine; a good many jour- nals oppose the suggestion that a postal telegraph shall be established, lest fur- ther and dangerous concentration of powers shall be bestowed upon the cen- tral government. It seems to us that a fair idea of what would follow is shad- owed forth by the postotfice department. Is that a menace to the liberties of the people? Would it be bet- ter were the carrying of the mails generally, placed in the hands of express companies, as it practi- cally was duriug the early years of Cali- fornia] We think not, and more, we think had the telegraph been in opera- tion in the days of the fathers, they would have reasoned that it came under the same head as the mails, that is, that it was 80 oasential to the business of the ]wuplu that it must be placed in their hands at the lowest possible cost, and so important that it merited the direct care of the general government. The tele- graph is itseM the most powerful arm to provent centralization, 1t is the daily instructor of the people, and by whisper- ing each morning and evening what has been done during the preceding twelve hours, w d the people are posted and consnir oixs have not much opportunity t hatch, The telegraph and power press ¢ mouned make the university wherein t e great masses of the people continue tor education until their school days ¢'oie with the failing sight of old age. 2 o hing which makes intelligence among the people wore ample and cheapor is soing to harm our liberties. Tho people 10w puy interest on 880,000,000 to the Western ~ Union telegraph com- jany, when the whole long string of lines, the officers and all the works could be duplicated for $20,000,- 000, This is a large sum to be extracted from the fears of & nation, lest ten thous- and men may destroy the liberties of the people in case they work for the govern- ment instead of n{md of men wim are HMLW rich that they are stronger than the government, stronger than any- exoept ‘ s the | the and the results of the failure fall upon the strikers and their families, It is a pitiable showing. It exhibits the immeaswable sacrifices which the laboring clusses are willing to make in order, if possible, to gain the end of sub- duing capital to their partial control, and wringing from it what they hold to be a fair remuneration for their service It has been said that when large bodies of men are discontented with their condi- tion, there must be some good reason for it; that when large budies of men demand rights and privilegesnot hitherto accorded to them, the demand itself is an indica- tion of its partial justico at least. 1f the rule is to hold good for the laboring classes who have voluntarily sacri- ficed $22,000,000 in the last 13 years in their struggle with capital, it shows that the existing relations between labor and capital are painfully inharmonious and discordant. This much is clear, But beyond it, the trouble and uncertainty begin. The remedy for the inharmonious and discordant conditions it is hard to discover Employes not onlY demand at times higher wages than employers say they can afford to pay, but they demand also a certain amount of control over the employers’ business, aud & certain con- trol over their proprietary privileges which the latter stubbornly refuse to con- cede—and here begins the issue which neither strikes nor statesmenship has been able to adjust. 1t looks like a mor- tal struggle whose ending no one can foresee. BLAVERY IN BRAZIL, Results of the Ilicit Slave Trade Stnce 1831—Emancipation in the Provinces, A correspondent_of the New York Herald writes from Rio Janeiro, Brazil: The question of the Africans imported after the prohibition of slavery in 1831 has been the only one of interest i the proceedings of the Brazilian legisla- ture within the last week, Although the slave trade was lormhll{ prohibited by a law dated November, 1831, it was practically winked at until 1850, when the government of the time, seeing that ues with Great Britain arising out perilous height, issued imperative instruc- tions to all federal authorities to pursue and seize all importations and prosecute the slave-traders, which covrse promptly brought the trade to an end. During the nineteen years in which the trade, though illegal, was connived at, it is calculated taat 230,000 Africans wero imported, who with their descendents, had un- doubtedly a right to be considered free. In fact, from time to time, and especially of late years, this right has been warmly advocated, and in some cases judges, when having to decide upon the owner- ship of slaves, have eliminated from their nuinber all Africans evidently born since 1831, In general this ruling has been acqui- esced in, although a few days ago it was overruled in one case by the Menas Geraes court of appeal on the grounds of insufficient proof of age and nationality. To evade the question the nationality of the slave was omitted from the list of particulars to be furnished at the general special registration, opened in 1872 and closed September 30, 1873, which was to determine the status of sla all not so registered being ipso facto free. Recent- ly Senator Silveira da Motta attempted to bring the question to a crisis by & mo- tion on the registration, and this week the president of the council was interpel- lated in the deputies upon the enforce- ment of the law of 1831, The result of both endeavors has, however, been nega- tive, as after various speeches, pro and con, the senate refused, by rejecting the motion, to open the question; and in the deputies the president of the council dodged the point by saying that the judi- ciaty, not the executive, had to decide on the vitality of laws and that the law, though in force, had heen modified in its action by the after legislation on slavery. In the province of Ceara the emanci- putory movement continues to be urged with great ardor and succoss. A year ago, according to the official records, the slaves in the province were about 27,000 But since the commencement of the pres- ent year twelve municipalities, which had on June 30, 1882, 8,896 slaves, havebeen completely swept clear of slavery; and in thirteen more the number of slaves has been so greatly reduced that extinction therein is now only a_question of weeks. The government bill for the localization of slaves in their provinces, prohibiting export to other provinces, will also great- ly facilitate, and consequently stimulate, the endeavors of localities to extirpate slavery within their boundaries, as so successfully initiated in Ceara. Murders by slaves of the overseers and occagionally of the master or his son are becoming so common—three occurred last week in the neighboring provinces— that the planters and their friends are getting furious. This week, about seventy miles from Rio, at Valensa, a mob broke into the jail, dragged out two slaves just brought there for killing an overseer, and hewed them to pieces. The same day also a party met an escort of police taking to jail a slave murderer, and him likewise they slaughtered on the spot. These are not the first cases of the kind, and practically they are unpunished, for the authorities and people in the country districts sympathize with acts which they think justified by the barbarity of the murders and by the necessity to strike terror into the slaves, so numerous in many parts as compared with the free.

In the manufacture of spools white birch bark is used exclusively. The wood is first sawed into pieces four feet in length and of nine sizes, varying by six- teenths from one inch to one and a half inches square. It is then dried as thor- oughly as it can be out of doors. Inside the factory it first goes to the rougher, where the strips are cut into cylinders the length of a spool and the hole bored, the turni nd boring being performed at one operation, and the cutting off with a small cireular saw at another, all on one machine. These little cylinders drop from the rougher into a barrel, from whence they are removed to the rollers or revolving ylinders,in which the fine dirt and fuzz left by the saw and bits are removed. The picces aro then pick- ed oyer by hand, and all the imperfect ones are sort: t to feed the ever hun- gry fires under the boiler, The next process is a more thorough seasoning of the blocks in a loft, and they go to the reamer where the centre holes are made to the exact size required, which cannot be done by the rougher on account of the shrinking of the wood after leaving that machine, Until lately the reaming has been done by an ordi- nary reaming-tool working in_ a lathe, the work being fed by hands; but a new machine has been recently put in, which will ream the spools as fast as two boys can feed them into the spouts, * * * At each oscillation of the shaft tv o spools are reamed, one at each end, the ma- chine turning out about 240 per minute. The next machine is the finisher,which is an attachment to an ordinary lathe, by whieh the spools are turned into shape by one operation at the rate of 1,000 to 1,600 per hour. There are eight cutting knives on this machine—oneat each end, standing up }mrpendmuhr to the length of the spool for trimming the end; one at each end, horizoutally, for turning the outside of the flange; between these, two others, standing diagonally, for the in side'of the flange; another, horizontally, for turning out the space between the two flanges, and a small circular chisel for cutting the finish on top of the spool. The spools have now received their shape, and need only their finishing touches. These are given, first by the polishers, which are the same as the rollers X the friction of the spools against each other giving them the required polish. After remaining.in this from four to five hours they are again sorted by hand and all imperfect ones remqved, after which they go to the embosser, a sort of print- ing machine, which stamps the number of the thread and some ornamental de- vices upon the head of each spool.
