"A HouRs.


The hours are >iewless angels
That still go gliding by,
And ocsr each minute record UP
To Him who sits ON high.
And we who walk among them.
A. one by one departs.
See not that they are lowering
For ever ro0nd our hearts.
Like summer bees that hover
Around the idle flowers,
They gathrr every act and thought,
Those riewles- angel hours.
The poison or the nectar
The hearts deep flower cup yield,
n sample snu they gather swift,
And leaves Us In the field.
And so'ne ny BY on pinions
OF joyous gold aud Lln~.
And some flag ON with dropping nings
OF souow's darker hue.
But siill they steal The record.
And bcari, Ear away
Their mission flight by da, OF night
No magic power eau stay.
And ~ we spend each minute
That God TO us hath given.
The deeds are known before his throac-
The tale Is told in Heaven.
These bee-likc hours we see NOT.
Nof Rear their noi-~lcss wings:
We only icci. too off. when flown.
nat they have left their stinss.
SO teach me. heavenly Father.
To meet each flying hour.
That a. they go they may not show
My bear, a poison flower.
80 when Death brings it, shadows,
The hours tina, lingrr las,
shs,i eesrny hopes on angel wings
Uniettered BY the past.

The impression is left upon minds, Mr.
Chairman, that the member from Massachusetts is
convinced the English tariff is high to be inju-
rious to the producer in this country, and because
her tariff is so in furious to interest, we have
inducement TO reduce our rates Of taxation.
Since that report written, however, great
and glorious revolution has taken place in England
The truth has burst upon them, that there are other
interests besides those OF the protected class. Public
opinion can be no longer controlled The shackles
upon commerce are TO be broken off her ports are
be thrown open; the necessaries Of life to be
admitted and where famine gannt and terrible,
stalked through the novels Of the poor, placing its
touch upon the hollow eye and sunken cheek, and
blasting that happiness which loves to dwell around
a home, now will succeed that peace and Joy which
make family Preside so holy spot.

When the government of England tenders to the
world such commercial benefits, it is indeed the
"harbnger Of commercial millennium" especially
when made under circumstances which preclude
the idea of another resort to the restrictive policy.
But, Mr.. Chairman, how IL this information received
by those who have dwelt with much eloquence
upon the burdens imposed by England upon the
agricultural products Of this country They certain
ly ought to hail it bright era in the history of
trade; especially should the gentleman from Massa-
chusetts Mr.. HuDsoNl raise his voice in tones of
congratuation. Not so, sir. Listen to his speech,
made on the 26th of February, 1886:
81 am aware that it will be said that most of the wheat
which is sent into Canada finds its way into Great Britain
II admit it, and shall endeavor to show hereafter that in this
indirect trade we enjoy sort OF monopoly by the OPP
Grafton Of The present coraws Of Great Britain, but OF
which should be deprived by repeal Of those laws
This Is in fact the point to which wish to call attention
the great question the committee and the country to con-
slider"
What a change is produced in the views Of that
member In 1874, he spoke in tones Of complaint
of the English tariff; enumerated the burdens inn
posed upon our commerce; mentioned the rates OF
duty. Now that those burdens are nearly, If not
quite removed, in the estimation of that gentleman
the corn-Inws of England moi injurious, but ac-
tually beneficial TO the American farmer. | know,
Mr. Chairman, 1t is sometimes remarked, that che
is inconsistent who endeavors always to be con-
sistent," and that man should change with a
change Of circumstances. But, sir, change OF
opinion without reason, and which bears about il
palpable and fat contradiction, is altogether un.
warrantable.
Falstaff in the "Merry Wives Of Windsor, =
possessing himself much versatility, gives a very
concise illustration Of sudden changes, when he re-
marked:
81 went to her Master Brook, you see like poo
old but from her. Master Brook, like poor OLE
woman"
| 1t will be rccollected, Mr.. Chairman, by all who
have listened to the arguments advanced by the
wing party, that they have dwelt with much conn
dence upon the permanency Of the English pro
tecive policy. They have insisted, in unmeasuret
terms, that il we should prove ourselves SO foolisF
as to lower our tariff, and suffer the people of thu
country to trade wherever they chose, still Fog
land would hold to her policy. They have ever
gone so far as to say, that powerful would tina
statesman prove himself who could by arrange
ment induce foreign powers to reduce their duties.
4 have an authority upon this point which vii
have no little weight with the wing party, and,
trust, will put at rest this cavil
