Schenck and Kerr,

When Morrill, went into the senate,
and Thaddeus Stevens was dead, Rob
ert G., Schenck passed to the front of the
Republican party in the house of repre-
sentatives and became the chairman OF
the cOmmitte of Ways and Means at a
time when to control its revenue measures
was to exercise the leadership of the
house. Along about 1870. Schenck was
at the top OF the ladder-his ladder.
Adr0it, supple, experienced quick. not
without w.t. endowed with Imperturbable
patience, it must be confessed he made
the most OF his opportunities, Sundry in
teIests were supposed to be peculiarly en-
titled to his tuteiage-such as sugar, whis-
key, iron-and he guarded them well. as
became, II not their hired attorney, at least
their confidential prOChdiR ann A speech
which Schenck made about this tune is
interesting not only as showing upon what
principles he thought tariffs should be
made, but also as revealing the character
Of the man, He said:
"The cOmmitte of Ways and Meads have been
subjected to confinement and labor almost equal
to inc Paias and penalties Of imprisonment in a
pehltentlary IN endeaVoring to recon-
ellie, with prudent provision at the same time for
the public good. all the different claims presented
By persons coming from different parts Of the
country, and representing the different interests
and pursuits Of our people, In the course of this
inve gatiOn and tack have found one thing pretty
certain, and that is, that every OF every pan
who has any article or interest TO be protected, de
sires that il shall have such advantage in fullest
measure. but Is too often perfectly willing to join
in the cry that nobody else shall have the benefit
OF like protection. The truth is that at every turn
when seeking for information, we have had to en-
counter this natural bias Of selfish and persona
lntcre-t-generally honest, sometimes disingenuou,
IN the representations made to us-buL always &c
be watched and allowed for as an element in ou
calculation"
This is keen and shows knowledge o.
men-but it is the keenness and world
knowledge ofthe detective, or the politica
huckster, whose highest idea of statecraf
is to play off the selfish passions of on,
set OF men against the selfish passions o
another, and strike balance between
them, calling it legislation for the common
good. With ali his .acuteness Schencl
does not see that to call protective tariff
the composition Of selfish human forces, i
to advance the very strongest argumen
possible against protection.

Schenck hadto encounter as chairman Of tn
ways aud means, Michael q, Kerr led tn
forcesin opposition. Cox was excellent o.

APLEA FOR THE BELL.
The pen of Schiller well hath told
How fusng metals blend and mould
The cup OF melody; whose rim,
Revolving pours q rhythmic tide
OF mellow music far and wide,
And subtle fancles woke for him.
The birth-the death-the marriage hour
The c0n1agration's whirlwind power,
Were pictured to his eye, his ear,
AS slowly, merrily it pealed,
Or tangled in alarm, revealed
LIES shifting phases-joy, grief, fear.
For us---"who breathe the boundless ali
10 calmly, grandly unaware
eOf let or hindrance, save from G0d'-
A bell in triumph rang, the day
When vassalage was spurned away,
And freemen our good country trOd.
Though shattered now and cold and lone,
Holds not its metal yet the tone
winch rang the requiem OF our fears,
And told us Liberty was born
For us and ours that July morn,
Snail 1t not ring her Hundred Yearsf
Then mould again the precious ore,
With its fair legend as before,
Sweet prophecy so well fulfilled!
And may we feel as floating come
Its pulse-like chimes through our great home,
That even heavens bright domes are thrilled.
One summer hence our hearts will cling
Around tine bell, a reverend thingl
Then lift 1t 'twixt the earth and sky,
And let its every atom ring,
And let its tongue still louder sing
The anthem that shall never die;
That Freedom hath eternal birth,
That every land which rounds the earth
Hath birth-right in her too;
That life without her hath no worth
That JOY without ls phantom mlrtf,
And length Of days lifelong rue.
Oh, Bell OF Liberty, ring on!
Earth's parted knighthoOd yet shall don
Its armor at thy silver call.
A franchised world its aim shall be,
Its shrine, sour Lady OF the Free"
Its helper, God, the Lord Of all.
