THE South can build cotton-mils enough to
furnish not America alone, but China and Brazil,
with all the cloth they need; but this she Will
never do under protective tariff. The first step
toward the accomplishment of this object Ia u
tariff for revenue observation-disclosures.
To punish assassination is right and necessary.
But to do away with those causes of irritation
which, when they profoundly and generally
affect people, find their last and brutal express
sion at the hands of wicked men in acts OF as
notwithstanding is quite another thing.-New

MURDER and arson the destruction of the lives
of innocent people, the terrifying of peaceful

THE only way that consumption can be stimu-
lated is by low prices, which means low wages.
Here are two propositions that must be looked
in the face by and all other workers. II they
cannot successfully hit upon the golden mean
between the two in their deliberations, they will
be led to it by the stern logic OF facts.-St. Louis

IT does not follow, because slavery abOl-
ished by war, the professional ahotlonists
having very little to do with the abolition, that
all the agitators to be successful; that a few
desperate men, Dy giving tH6tubtlN6S luriuuolg

1T is folly for people located in the older States
to sell OF hard-earned property and run away to
far western regions, of which they know moth

IT is more likely that Gladstone may reform
his lines. change front, learn the lessee taughT
by his own failures he has done before, and
cheat the Conservatives of their opportunity by

so far as foreign governments are concerned,
Ireland is part of England, and the govern
ment of England is responsible for the condition
of Ireland, which has been produced by the gov
eminent of England. That they should call
upun foreign governments to pass special laws,
in order to enable them to suppress disturbances
in their own dominons, argues an assurance
not, perhaps, uu-English, but that they should
expect such a call TO be answered Is not easily
credible. If the English cannot govern Ireland
without calling on all mankind to help them
suppress Irish resentment of the process. there
is clearly nothing for them TO do but to allow
Ireland to govern herself-New York World.
IL our President is satisfied that Trishmen

forthcoming. II we knew that London allows
assassins TO there plan the death OF Garfield
we would close our ports to every British vessel
We earnestly hope England will close her ports
TO our produce, and thus compel our govern
ment to stop international conspiracy, II even
every freshman IN America shoud revolt. We
believe our laws should choke cowardly con-
spiracy at all oOst.-Western Christian Advo-
