It is estimated by the ablest writers
on international trade that not more
than one in twenty of the working
and business men Of the country can
show any tangible evidence that they
are benefited by our present tariff
This IS the carefully prepared estimate
of the highest authorities. In their
opinion the continuance of a tariff for.
protection, as opposed to atariff for
revenue. will be oppressive to ninety
five out Of every one hundred.
But the five men who profit by the
toll and business energy Of the ninety
five, make 80 much noise in shouting
for "protection Of American labor"
that they readily pass for 4 large MAJ
jority Of the people. They can afford
to shout. It pays them to buster.
They profit BY carrying on the work
Of deception. They make many Of the
farmers whose products are sold in
foreign lands at profit, vote for them
and uphold system that robs them
selves. There are 5000, 600 of this
class.
The same is true of mechanics Of
nearly all kinds. Very few of them
are benefited by the tariff, while it
takes from nearly all Of them con-
siderable portion Of their earnings.
Every meal Of food they eat, every
garment they buy is made more costly.
But there are thousands of them who
do not seem to know how they are
robbed. When they buy ten dollars
worth Of queensware for instance, we
suspect that they do not stop to reflect
that they are paying four dollars ITO
enc ,urage home industry"
There is need Of a great deal of
educational work in this line. The
inonopolists have had it pretty much
their own way fof many years. Their
heresies must be eradicated. The
truth must be preached until the lies
by which protective robbery is upheld
are thoroughly exposed.

One of Moody's and Sankey's con-
gregation as he left the church at tie
close Of services, that there was u
class OF nom believers to which Mr..
Moody had not givon attention, but
which he would like to see him appeal
to and convert. He meant those men
who are now inlidels SO far as the
Bible and Christianity ara concerned.
These men live now as moral lives and
are just as generous to their fellow
men as they were when they were
Christians. They did not abandon
Christianity because of its moral re-
straints they did not "backslidev in
the ordinary sense of the term but
abandoned it because their reading or
thinking finally rendered them ineapa-
BILE Of accempting it as historically
true. There were cases, the speaker
said, in which men felt their reason
veering around against Bible history
and doctrine aud who struggled and
prayed to remain believers, but who
nevertheless became unbelievers.
These men, he thought, formed large
and very formidable ,lass of unbeliev-
ers--much more dangerous to the
Church than any number of the miser-
able sinners who sinned from mere
weakness. repented with tears and
personal debasement, sinned again,
repented again, ard passed most OF
their lives in the process.

The Postoffice Inspector reports tha
tremendous efforts will be made by the
steamboat companies on all the Southern
and Western rivers where the Star
service has been discontinued or reduced
to break down the policy of economy and
reform of the present Administration.
Nearly all the postmasters at the river
landings are merchants who are also
agents of the steamboat companies.
Many of these postmasters are getting
up protests and in other ways attempt
ing to manufacture public sentiment
against the action Of the Department.
II officer of railroad in Arkansas offers
to carry the mails to points on the Mem
phis and st. Francis River route for $2,-
900 per year. The Department formerly
paid 100000 to the steamboat line. 1t
appears that the Star route service as
managed by Brady and the River and
Harbor bill as engineered in Congress,
bore intimate relations to each other.
