Lebanon Advertiser

              afiTThere is a joj ous spring about the
spring elections.
glT Doomsday, which was to have
marked the destruction of various cities
on Monday last, passed off with childlike
blandness. AU tbe cities are safe, since
they have been passing en masse under
the sheltering pinions of Democracy.
larSTBlKES, STRIKES, STRIKES, seem
to be the order of the day. The workingmen of the country, who have set up
a President and a Congress to suit themselves, ought not to object to swimming
in their own soup. Until they shall have
made tbeir strike at the ballot-box, however, they may go on till doomsday without bettering their condition.
i__r*A MUNICIPAL ELECTION U> Butte,
Silver Bow county, Montana, which was
held ou Monday under the Australian
system, resulted in a clean sweep for tbe
Democrats. The famous Precinct 34, by
the throwing out of the votes of wbich
tbe Republicans were enabled lo "count
in" tt majority in the Montana Legislature and lu i«turn two so called Senators
tnt Su- United.States Senate, is in Silver
B'tw county. But as Uuited States Senators ».i longer represent the people of
their Slates, there is Uttle doubt that the
Republican claimants f wm Montana will
bu se..ttt:d.
{3T" fiiE Democrats of Ohio are rejoicing over, the remarkable gains vv.vk-h
they have uube iu the recent elections.
Thev at tribute the tesult to popular ap.
probation of the Democratic Stale Administration, and to Republican disaffection witb tbe Government at Washington Governor Campbell, who knows
his State, says that the steady Republican losses in Ohio aie due to the young
men whom the Republican party, un-
der its present management can no
longer attract to its present standard.
Youth, in its energy and enthusiasm.
believes iu progress; and the Republican
party has become ihe party of political
reaction.
Mock Protection tor Farmers.
The new tariff bill increases the tariff
tax on imported corn, and tbat is called
protection to farmers when the Western
farmers are burning their corn as fuel
because it won't bear tbe cost of shipment to market.
The farmers who produce corn bave
some 970,000,000 bushels on tbeir hands
fur want of buyers at living prices, and
yet a tax on foreign corn, tbat wouldn't
come to tbis market if it could be shipped
free and admitted free of duty, is calltd
protection to farmers.
The new tariff bill increases the tariff
on imported wheat and tbat is called protection tb farmers. Onr farmers produce
a huge surplus of wheat that they must
sell abroad or next to give it away at
home, and imp >rted wheat for our consumption is practically unknown in tbis
country, but an increased tariff tax on
wheat is heralded as increased protection
to farmers. The farmers who grow
wheat bave yet unsold 150,000,000 busli
els of last year's crop, being over 95,000,
000 in excess of any previous year, and
yet the farmer is insulted with the promise of protection by an increased tax on
wheat that can't be imported even if
shipped and admitted free.
Tbe new tariff hill increases the tariff
tax on hops nearly one hundred per cent,
and tbat is called protection to farmers.
We produce about one-third more hops
than we can consume, sell the surplus to
Europe, and tbe priee of hops, Uke the
price of wheat, is made iu London. We
import hops, just as we import Egyptian
cotton and Spanish iron ores, simply be
cause we must bave them to mix witb
our bome prod nets, and a tariff tax on
either is nu protection to tke home producer bnt imposes increased taxes on consumers. And this is called protection to
farmers.
Wben will the farmers learn to resent
this costly mockery of tbe most important industrial interest of the country ¥
Tariff taxes oppress farmers; tariff taxes
never protect farmers to any substantial
extent.
MEW TORK LETTER.
[REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE.]
New York, April 81,1890.
The Stewart Mansion on 5th Avenne
and 84th street wiil be ready for occupancy by tbe Manhattan Club early in May.
The house haa been thoroughly cleaned
aod will undoubtedly present a fresh and
attractive appearance when the doors are
finally thrown open for tlie members ol
this swi-il club, who will then bave the
finest cluti house io the eountry, if not in
the world. In faet, it is Dearer like a palace than anyiking else, and all its furnishing and appointments are in keeping with
that idea. Por the present the art gallery
will be used an a dining room. The club's
kitcben will be downstairs as previously,
but it will be mucb larger than before, and
may finally be removed to tbe roof. It is
worthy of uote that wheu the club takes
possession next month, there will then ba
left but one building ta this city bearing
tbe name of Stewart—tbe old down-town
building at tbe corner nf Chambers street.
Tbe hotiy ef fate could not be better illustrated than in tbis caso of tbe merchant
prince Stewart. His great business houae
ia divided into numerous firms of different
names, his magnificent women's hotel has
long since lost its original character and
name, bis mansion is uow a club-bouse,
and his estate has passed to one wbo was
neither a nameske nor even a relative.
Who wfll regret that in all this there is no
encouraging ray for one whose ambition is
to amass a fortune of untold millions ?
INCREASING STAGE   FACILITIES.
The Fifth Avenue St age Company has
been granted permission to extend its line
to Desbrosses street ferry, so that passen-
fers can hereafter ride directly irom tbe
ennsjlvania landing to nearly all the big
hotels ia tbe city. Tbis wfll be a great
convenience to travelers, as there will be
ao changing of ears for uptown and no
double fare, aa at present. Of course the
stages do not ride over tbe rough pavements as smoothly as the cars run, but
they are not at all unpleasant after one is
used to them. The fact that they are
mostly patronized by tbe wealthy shows
^•"tiiat old time methods are not to be despised even in these days of steam and elec
tricity. When the horse cars were pot on
Broadway it was thought we had seen,the
last of the stages. Bnt it was tW so.
Their absense was short, and in-spite of
^ffrsij>ar8, tbey were welcomed back again,
runnnrg^w j-yjopd distance over their old
route. Tne company has just asked for
tbe privilege to increase the fare to ten
cants but bas been refused.
A WORKING GIRLS'   CONVENTION.
A convention composed of delegates from
a large number of working girls' associations throughout the country was seen in
session last week at the Metropolitan
Opera House. Many papers of aa im
portant nature and of special interest to
the girls were read, and there is no doubt
that tbe convention wfll be productive of
much good to tbe thousands of women
wbo have to toil for a living and whose
numbers are growing every day. No class
of people is deserving of more active assistance than the working girls whose remuneration and opportunities lor employment and advancement are always far below tbose of tbe other sex. It is gi at i tying to see them taking sucb au important
step towards bettering tbeir own condition. This was the first convention of tbe
kind ever held, and it was decided to loi m
a national organization.

For atarly half a century Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral bas beeu the most popular cough

to be tbe very -best specific fer colds,
coughs, and all diseases of tbe throat and
lungs.

the House Wednesday The majority
report begins with-a statement of the
financial situation-'and shows that a reduction in the revenues as the bill provides of $60,838,936, and probably more
from customs, andover $10,000,000 from

and 12 under existing law On third

which provides for the abolition of any
part of such taxes, and at the same
time increase the duty on cotton.
