One OF Senator morrill,. Recrea,Ions,

OhG u bEnANOF EkeGEtaNhohas
Mrs. Mary Clemmer, in her last Washing
ton letter to the New York Independent, tells,
we suspect without his consent, how Senator
Morrill, has been employing his leisure, and
utilizing his wide reading for the benefit of his
friends. She says
modest, yet beautifully printed book has
found its way to my table, bearing on its title
page this inscription
"sELF-ooSscIousSEss OF NOTED PERSONS. Com
piled in leisure hours. BY J. S. NJ. Printed for pri-
vate distribution"
The book proves to be intensely interest
ing, not only as a faithful illustration of an
overpowering quality of human nature, but
also by its personal suggestiveness. Its au-
thor, Hon. Justin S. Morrill, Of Vermont, is in
the twenty-seventh year of his continuous
service as Representative and Senator of the
United States in Congress. He was the init
mate friend and associate of Sumner, Wilson,
Fessenden, Thaddeus Stevens of Lincoln,
Chase, Stanton, and of many other famed and
important actors who moved ana had their
being in the most memorable epoch of our
country's history. Now, If this gentle gentle
man could be induced to do little less drudg-
cry on fewer Senatorial committees, and util-
ize his faithfully earned leisure in recording
for the coming generation his personal rem
iniscences of these iliustrious men, who, in
various degrees belong to the history of the
American people, what an enduring monu-
ment of himself and of them he would leave
behind him.
II Mr.. Morrill, can be persuaded to write a
book full Of personal memories of his great
est compatrio;s, he will make break in the
commonplaces OF American posthumous
fame. The private book before me is that
of individual variety and charm. One hun
dred and fifteen persons are here represented
in their consciousness of self, including st.
Paul and Orvid, Quintilian and Walt Whit
man, Thucydides and John Wesley, and, with
one hundred and thirteen men, but two wo-
men Harriet Martineau and Queen Elizabeth.
Thus one might conclude by inference that
the law of sex had been sufficiently potent to
keep woman's self-consciousness silent, while
it bubbles out at every breath from the lips
of her brother

Any one who has never seen the Capitol
can easily portray the hall of the House of
Representatives to his minds eye by imagin-
ing a long square reservoir, in which the
Congressman sit, and rising from its edge on
all sides the sloping benches for the people
Overhead is q glass ceiling, divided up by
thick beams of gilded wood and dotted with
paintings of the coats of arms of the States
There is something in the shape of this long
reservoir below and the sloping benches that
recalls the old pictures of the "Pool of Silo-
am" In ''the troubling of the waters" done
there month after month and year after year,
and in the impotent and sick folk that often
watch it, the parallel is complete, but as for
the healing to be found in them, that is per-

PLAIN
TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation Of
life, it circulates through every part
Of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the 0HLy sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blaoken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part Of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-.
lively net injurious.

A special despatch from Washington
says Among the indications Of the
tendency of a class of Democrats in
the South TO favor some movement in
their States ii nilar to the Malone
movement in Virginia, are the recently
published views of the Hon. L. j. Ellis,
mem Der of the House from Louisiana.
Mr.. Ellis has been, 1t is said, a Bour-
bon of the Bourbons, and he represents
district in which are many of the
ealthiest and most influential men,
bers of the party in his state. The district
includes nine wards of New Orleans
and four adjOuining parishes, Mr..
Ellis served in the Confederate Army
through the war. In the course of a
long interview published in New Or
leans which has awakenened some
interest in this city, he is reported as
having said: "The Democratic party is
dying naturally of timidity and mac
tion. 1t Is without men or measures.
1t is not agreed on any policy. In
every part of the South 1t is losing
ground. Virginia is gone. There are
grave fears for the olher states. IL is
is disrup ed and broken into divisions
and fractions in nearly every Southern
State You know its condition here.
1t is past Praying fer, and if the South
breaks up the Democratic party Is a

Piles could be elected, providing he could
trick himself into d Democratic nom
ination, and ali bscause Of tyrannical

As the iron industry is one of the
leading branches of business in this
country, and a. it more than others
perhaps feels the beneficial inspiration
Of protection 1t is encouraging to glance
over the iron field and make few COM
parsons that fully demonstrates the
wisdom and benefits of protection. In
1881 just closed theirs were made in this
country 4, SOC, 900 gross or 6,040, 900 net
tons Of pig iron. The production has
nearly doubled in three years. In 1873
1t was 2, ST., 1851 net tons and five years
ago it was 2,O93,235 net tons. In 1881,
also the production of steel rails was
Loo, 900 gross or 1874, 900 net tons
against $50, 1893 tons in 1878, and 4l2,-
46l in 1876. In addition zoo, 900 gross,
or $50, 900 net tons of iron rails were
made against 500. 800 in 1878, and 49,
158 In 1876. The production of all rails
was I, 1904, 900 tons, against 49,, 1856 tons
In 1878 and S70,629 in 1876. Statistics
Of the production of other forms of
manufactured iron have not yet been
published. But by deducting the pig
iron used in rails from the quantity of
pig iron produced, We find that the in
crease in production of all other forms
of manufactured..iron must have been
Is per cent. in three years. This is a
pretty good showing for protection. But
iron being product of labor it may be
interesting to see how many laborers
1t keeps employed.
In 1870, 125, 900 hands were employed
in making and working. up 100000
tons of pig iron, therefore it Is reason
able to suppose that more than 800, 0OC
hands are now employed in the various
branches of that great industry. In.
GLIDING their families, probably more
than 100000 Of people derive their
sustenance directly from this industry,
thrives when it thrives and suffers
when 1t suffers.
We hear the question asked some
times, shall these 100000 of people be
specially protected at the expense Of
the remaining $4,000, 600 that people the
United States? The question is proper
and pertinent, but we fail to find that
they have been protected in that man
ner. In 1860, the last year of Demo
cratic free trade rule, the price of iron
was higher than it was in 1881. Pig
iron averaged $22. s. in 1860 and S25 II
in 1881. Bar iron averaged $3.50 IN
1860 and only $500 in 1881 in spite o.
the duty. The same is true of iron
rails, which averaged S4S in 1860 and
only $47.15 in 1881. Cut nails cost So Il
Der cwt in 1860 and are now selling al
b 30. Yet 1860 was an unexception
able year for low prices for irou-tht
lowest that had been known except one
during sixteen years of Democratic
rule.
The results already attained show
that Congress should be extremely care
full before changing the duties on iron
to investigate with patience and cart
the present condition of this great in
dustry and the wonderful progress il
has made under the present tariff.

Louisiana Repu ID iatiOn.

The Bourbon journals that are scream
ing themselves into parOxysms of mock
indignation over what they allege as
the financial dishonesty Of Malone re-
pudiation in Virginia, had better turn
their attention to Louisiana, where
Democracy, pure and simple has full
sway. There another important step
has been taken toward complete repu-
diation, not by Readjuster Legisla-
ture or a Republican Legislature, but
by an ont and out pure Bourbon Demo-
cratic Legislature. There the original
debt was scaled by the Democrats forty
Der cent and it was then announced
that the State was able to pay only two
Der cent. on the reduced principal.
Though this was equivalent to repldia-
ton, the State pledged itself to pay
this and the pledge was Incorporated in
the revised Constitution. which was
adopted by the people. Now, the Leg
islature, which is in extra session, Ii
the face of this decision of the people to
pay forty per cent. of the State debt, has
passed revenue bill, which apportions
one mill to be set aside to meet the in
terest on the State debt. This even il
all collected, will only pay two thirds
of the forty thousand dollars required
The New Orleans Pycayune, the lea l.
ing Democratic paper of Louisiana

per denOunces t as an outrage, 1t must

Bourbon Democratic organs to show
that reputation under a Democratic
Legislature is something quite different

islature.

rne Appeal 10 Prejudice.


Itrequires nothing mere on our part
to show that the attacks upon Nj. Hig'
gins and through him on the Republic
can party of Delaware, is for the pur-
pose of creating Democratic capital for
the ensuing campaign. Every Repub-
lican leader of prominence is to be
with the vilest vitupera-
ton and SANDER and Republicanism in
Delaware is to be rendered odious. The
basis of this capitol is the Neal case.
This is to be stored for reserve argument
to be dished out by Democratic orators,
and by Democratic Bourbon organs.
Because Mr.. Higgins has in pursuance
of his sworn duty successfully defend
ed and cleared . negro charged with
crime, the Republican party is 70 bear
the blunt of the abuse. How will this
effect the Republicans Of New Castle
comfy? The most brilliant orators of
the Democratic party in 1880 with the
Neal case fresh in their memories ap
pealed to the prejudices of the people,
and got defeated. Even the precincts
Of a Democratic club house in the
Eighth Ward was invaded by promi-
nent candidate for the Presidency aud
the wives and daughters of the Church
street rangers were appealed to, to join
in virtuous crusade against the Re-
publican party, because Neal was a
black man and of course Republican,
and Mr.. Higgins leader of the Repub-
leans, dared to defend negro charged
with capitol offence. The Eighth
Ward, however, where this ignomin'
ious appeal was made, answered it by
giving the Republican ticket ia ma
jority, and the people of New Castle
county answered it by electing the
whole Republican ticket They will dc
the same thing in 1889 on a full vote
and fair count. The intelligence Of
the people of Delaware will carry them
through the vile attack by the Bourbon
organ. 1t is for them to meet the onset
of this unparalleled avalanche of abus'
and defamation without fiinching. I'll,
question is not one of color, or nation
ality; but one of caste, and boiled dowr
to comprehensive grasp it resolves it
self into this question: Shall man be
cause he is black and charged with
crime be executed without being per
mitted to have the full benefit of thu
law, and shall an attorney, because HI
dares to offer the same defence to {
black man he would to white man, b
struck down by SANDER and abuse
That is the question, let the Intelligence
of Delaware prepare to meet it.
