Public sentiment is rapidly declaring i
self decidedly adverse to Mr., Cyrus Field
proposed quarter of million subseriptio
10 Mrs Garfield, and there is no longe
much doubt that if it is offered it viii b
declined, and very little probability tina
it will be offered As the Boston Jou1na
says:
ssThis whole business of presidential
gifts, whether as regards the Grant fund o.
the Garfield subscription, we do not like
It invests the railroad kings and othel
moneyed magnates with kind of influence
which we cannot regard with favor"
And there is where the principal objec
ton lies 1t is impossible to distinguish
between a gift to Presidents wife and a
gift to the President, and while money rails
ed for the support of Presidents widow
and orphans may be fitting gift, while
the husband and father is yet alive and in
receipt of $4,000 year, the necessity for
it is done away, and the only consideration
left is that the president of the United
States, in the name of his wife, has receiv-
ed valuable and substantial gift from men
who are constantly interested in special
legislation and are likely some time or 9TH
er to demand return favors, that he
would have to prostitute his position
and the high dignity of his Office to grant.
The Springfield Republican says:
1.-The New York chamber of commerce
is left in ridiculous plight in view of the
dispatch sent last week by its secretary to
Postmaster General James announcing that
that organization had decided to present
Mrs. Garfield with $780, 900. Cyrus w.
Field has been telegraphing and writing
appeals all over the country for help in
making up the sum which New Workers
were reported ready to tender. Widows
and children are sending their mites for
the man who gets salary. of $4,000 al
year. and this whole spectacle of begging
for the president of the United States is
There is vast difference be- |
tween giving for yellow fever sufferers and
drawing hard earned dollars for an indie |
pendent and self-respecting family. If the
president RECEIVERS he viii have d difficult |
and somewhat ungracious duty to perform
in refusing this gush money.
The whole of the matters is that
he people of this country can
not afford to have their chief
in the least indebted to
men of the kind who are raising this mon
y, for favors of the slightest description.
Although money given in this way to the
President might not be received as in any

[From the New Orleans Democrat
We feel safe in saying that our people,
one and all, echo the aspiration that Mr.
Garfield may be brought safely through the
great and terrible peril which has overta

In the present sad case the South feels
an unselfish sorrow, and we have ourselves
been surprised at the universality of feel
ing existing even among the least 4srecon-

for President Garfield to say with full

The following from the Chicago Times is
a short and correct history of Mr.. Warner
Aillers political life:
Wood pulp is used largely in the manu-
| facture of paper used for publishing pur-
poses, book, newspapers, and other Spruce
and poplar logs are sawed into blocks and
run through fibre machines, and this pro
duct is incorporated largely into other ma
terial used in the manufacture of paper.
In the United States, Warner Miller, now
senator from New York, and Congressman
Russell, of Massachusetts. are substantially
proprietors of the process for making wood
pulp. In their interest the treasury
department, during the reign of Hayes,
gave an Interpretation to an act of con-
gress whereby the duties levied upon the
importation of wood pulp were so high
as to become prohibitory. Having
the matter in their own hands, the paper
manufacturers in the United States increas-
ed the price of paper in 1879 to a point be-
yond which the consumer could not 60
and Warner Miller became one of the mil
Ionaire monopolists of New York. With
an almost unanimous voice the press of
America demanded OF congress that wood |
pulp be put upon the free list. in order
that Canadian competition might destroy, !
not any legitimate profit of Warner Mil |
ler's, but his villaineus monopoly. Congress
was inclined to act, but Miller and Russell |
were congressman, and they appeared be-
fore the committee on ways and means, /
fighting for their thievish grab They /
might not have succeeded there If they had /
not set about a system OF log rolling where
w they enlisted combination Of con-
gressmcn, each of whom had a robbers
game to play with reference to the tariff
bill. Miller and Russell were confirmed in
the enjoyment of their monopoly. The

the scene is better worth studying than If it
lay in London or Paris, for it concerns us
vastly more. The street swarms and testers

with money to spend and few with any pur-
pose beyond gratifying the appettes. There
are more races represented and lower type
of manhood and womanhood presented than
