before the horse ways and means COM
mittee, on the 18th inst. on the oues-
ton of removing the duty on imported
woo d pulp used in the manufacture of
paper, said the rise in the price of pa
per was entirely disproportionate to the
rise in the price of other commodities.
and was due to the combination o.

that the removal of the present duty or

of at least 2 cents per pound on print

there would be no guaranty that paper
might not be forced to the most extor'

Slavery was banished when the church

ouse made it a special business. Our state
and Nation Is moral government-.must
stand or fall on the morals Of the people.
The church is or should be responsible for
the morals Of the people.
Christian men relegats their power to
make laws, 10 other members OF society,
but not their responsibility in the matter.
II the cupidity ol delegates lead them to
bow 10 the avarice Of mOnopolies, Christian
men must see TO il that other and better
men are chosen.
II intelligent gentlemen leave ths eau

Common honesty demands that influential
men In society control these meetings in
the Interest or justice to all. That men be
sent 10 eur legislature who will make laws
TO protect the weak against the strong, and
project each individual IN his natural and
civil rights. Tten the true object OF leg
islation is for the prevention OF evil and
crime. To make Il as easy as possible for
the people to do right, and difficult to do
wrong. Grant that when an individual is
morally bound to refrain from vices that
may be practiced in secret, no legislation
can command or government enforce.
Virtue must come from withIn,-vice
may come from without. To plant and
grow the former, is the duty Of the honest
and wise; to protect from the latter is
still greater duty OF all who claim to be
loyal to the truth.
When we see a man behind the prison
bars, we forget that he may have been
reared m a Christian home nourished in a
Sunday School, and fell victim to a vice
that came to him from without, and from
a traffic which is sanctioned by the legis-
lators whom the Christian men Of the state
send as their agents, to make laws that
shall protect the cradle, the home and the
youth. j. f. LiaScoH.
