corracnondant from ST p

A correspondent from St. Petersburg
sends information, that he considers start
ling, to the effect that the candles and ia
pers procured to be burned about the bier
of the Car, in the presence of the royal
family, were found to be filled with nitro
glycerine A correspondent who starts out
to lie, and can't do better than that, ought
to be sent home. He might at least
have had the body of the Gar en-
balmed with dynamite and the coffin rest
ing on nitro -glycerine supports, with two
or three beautiful princesses in the plot
and member of the royal family implicit
ed. Nitro-glycerine candles are too tame,
we want something more realistic.

Again the Republicans of the second war,

Again the Republicans of the second ward
come to the charge, and try to have the
old council pass On the claims of Mr.. Gray
for seat in the new one. If there is any
principal of the government of Legislative
bodies that is clearly defined and about
which there is no question, it is that every
such body is the judge of the seats of its
members, and to attempt to make one
council adjudge the claims of q
contestant for another council is ludierous.
They had as well pass an opinion on Brad
laughs right to q seat in the English Par
lament. But their attempt shows the idea
the Republicans had when they voted for
two candidates at the general election.
Their failure to secure the present council
was the only thing that conf1icted with
their plans

Everts has, with an effort that does
great credit to his patriotism, stated in
London that this country is strong enough
to maintain an independent course OF
action in regard to the relative value OF
gold and silver.
If this is so, the question at once arises;
what the deuce is this country paying the
expenses of Messrs. Eyerts, ct confrees, in
Europe for this summer, if we can get
along along all right without the monetary
conference?

Resident Of Dayeupor- Iowa

DR.. CoTNAUGHToN:- Sir: With
feelings of the deepest gratitude for
the benefit my son has received at
your hands while patient at your In
stitute, allow me to enumerate few
facts tor those similarly afflicted:
For two years previous 10 being under
your treatment, my son had suffered be-
all description. Various physicians
ofrenown had been employed to no
purpose. 1t was thought that his eye
could not be cured A kind friend of
Davenport who had been cured by
you recommended you. Now | am
happy to say all my friends i'll Daven-
port say that my sons eye is quite
well.
| sincerely commend those afflicted
with chronic diseases to avail them
selves of your skill, and am confident
they will not regret it. | have ex-
pressed myselfin strong terms because
so many have inquired of me for these
facts, and because i'll these days of
false advertising l am glad to be able
as a Christian man, conscientIOusly
10 recommend one thing up to the full
measure of its advertisement.
Very truly yours.

The basis of protection is an increase of
price in the protected article. Protection
lists argue that this is paid by the foreign
producer. This statement is too false to
need moro than the merest a1lusion The
contrary is proved by everyone's exper-
fence. The increase in price is paid for
by the consumer. This is one of the great
objections to protection; it compells the
consumer to pay more for goods than they
are really worth, ostensibly to help the
business of the producer Now consul
mers constitute the vast majority of the
people. The producers of protected
articles are few in comparison with them.
It is true that most men are both producers
and consumers. But for the great majority
there is little or no protection for what
they consume. The tariff is principally
levied upon wooden goods, lumber, furni-
ture, stoves, and other manufactured
articles of iron, and upon sugar and salt.
The necessities of life are weighted with
the burden. 1t is out of the people, there
fore, that the money is realized to support
the protective system.
1t is beyond the sphere of true govern
mental power to tax one man to help the
business of another. This is robbery, moth
ing more nor less. When a man earns a
dollar 1t is his own, and no power of reas-
ening can justify the legislative power in
taking it from him except for the uses of
the Government
Yet the present tariff takes hundreds of
millions of dollars every year from the
farmer, the laborer and other consumers
under the claim of enriching the manu-
1acturer. 1t may not be much for each one
70 contribute. yet in the aggregate it is an

The Republican Senators have finally
decided to go into executive session, at
least twice week. AS they were called
together for the purpose of being in ex'
ecutive session all the time; it is yielding
of desire to duty that is both gratifying anc
alarming. The idea of Republican Sen
ators doing their duty, while there are any
offices to be filed, is truly wonderful.
