GENESIS OF PROTECTION.

After the adoption of the constitution the
first session of Congress was held at the city
of New York, from March to September
20, 1889 George Washington was President
and John Adams Vice-president. The first
statute passed was an act ito regulate the
time and manner of administering certain
oaths." The second was IAN act for laying
duty on goods, wares and merchandise inn
ported into the United States" and the
first section reads thus: Whereas, it is
necessary for the support of government
for the discharge of the debts of the United
States and the encouragement and protec-
ton of manufactures, that duties be laid on
goods, wares and merchandise imported, be
it enacted" etc., and then follows a list of
the duties to be collected The same act
provides that goods imported in American
bottoms shall pay less duties than those inn
ported in foreign vessels.
The point is this: The Republican party is
simply carrying out the policy of the found
ers of the republic when it tries to encourage
and protect American manufactures, and the
Democratic doctrine of free trade is solely in
the interests of English and European man
ufactures. The original statute is true Re-
publican doctrine, and duties are laid on
goods for three purposes; first, to obtain
means to support the government; second,
to obtain means to pay the just debts of the
government; third to encourage and pro-
tect American manufactures. The first OBJ
ject is to promote law and order by proper
ly supporting the government; the second
object is to protect the honor of the govern
ment by providing for the payment of its
just debts; the third object is to release the
United States from its position as a CONNER
cial and industrial dependency of England
by promoting the growth of home manufac-
lures.
Neither Of the Democratic ideas of free
trade or of tariff for revenue will answer in
this case The members of the first Congress
had just finished long and bloody struggle
for national independence, and they can
hardly be accused of not being thorough
going and patriotic Americans This was the
second Declaration of Independence, declar
ing America free from European manufac-
turers.

AUTHORSHIP OF THE DECLARATION.

Among other inscriptions upon the monu-
ment just erected over the remains of
Thomas Jefferson, is one declaring him
the author of the Declaration of Independ-
ence." 1t has always been conceded that
Jefferson was the craftsman of that immortal
document. This much is conclusive be-
cause the original manuscript is in his hand
writing But that he was the author of the
instrument must be taken in a greatly re-
stricted sense. To say that Jefferson was
the author and stop there, is only part of
the truth of history, and at the same time
does great injustice to the memory
of other distinguished dead. The immedi-
ate germ from which this matchless state pa
per sprung was resolution offered in the
Continental Congress on June 7, 1776, by
Richard Henry Lee, of Virginia. and second
ing thus:
'That the United Colonies are, and ought
to be, free and independent states and that
their political connection with Great Britain
is. and ought to be, dissolved"
The vote upon this resolution was taken
by colonies, and the result showed seven for
it and six against it. After its passage,
a committee, consisting of Thomas Jefferson,
Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Roger Sher-
man and John r. Livingston, was ap
pointed on behalf of the Continental Con.
gress to drafta Declaration of Independence.
They were at work In retirement just three
weeks, and on the 18th of June had expand
ed Lees resolution into the declaration as
we have it to-day, and SO reported to Con-
gress, which body, after six days discussion
and consideration, adopted it. But to say that
such men as Benjamin Franklin Roger
Sherman, and their other associates upon
the committee, did not engraft upon this
document their words and thoughts is so
unreasonable that upon sober reflection
no one will believe it. The
instrument bears the stamp of the combined
wisdom of the whole committee and to say
that Jefferson is the author is doing great in
justice to his colleagues. In their long and
tedious deliberations perplexites would
arise, and no doubt the master mind of the
five would guide the pen out of the trouble.
But is it reasonable to say that Jefferson was
this master spirit on every occasion, when
such men as Franklin and John Adams stood

THE discrimination by the Wabash railway
against indianapolis is arousing a general
feeling of indignation. The old management
of the Peru road was very popular and very
successful, because it always did justice to
its local interests. OF late years there has
been developing spirit Of indifference to-
ward indianapolis on the part of several of
the railway lines, the result of
which can but be detrimental to
them in the long run. While
we recognize fully the great value of the rail
ways to the city, there is reciprocity in the
advantage and unfair conduct by the rail-
roads, if persisted in, will provoke retalia-
tory measures that will teach the managers
that there are two sides to every question.
indianapolis is big enough, and its trade is
of sufficient importance, to demand and re-
ceiye fair if not generous treatment.

JOHN BRIGHT, of England, with the insight
Tor which he is noted, declares that the next
presidential fight in the America will be
fought on "free-trade lines" In other words
brushing away the sophistries OF Democratic
politicians, he sees what all intelligent men
must see, that the Democratic party is essen
TALLY a free-trade organization, and as such
must advocate and work for that object to
which it is pledged and with which it is
in closest sympathy. So plain is this
that it is recognized even across
the Atlantic, and if the election is to turn on
free-trade lines, who but the Democratic
party is there to fight on the free trade side?
1t is preposterous to talk of middle ground
There is no middle ground. The Repub-
lican party favors a reasonable protection
for American industries; the Democratic
party is anxious that the way should be
opened for the pauper labor of England to
flow in upon and over us.
As for Mr.. Bright's declaration that "the
people of the United States will declare it to
be the inalienable right of every American
citizen to spend his money in the worlds
cheapest markets." the wish is father of the
proposition. If Mr.. Bright means anything
by this, he means that the doctrine
of self-protection shall go for naught and
that America shall be obliged to buy in
other markets than her own. He is in posi-
ton to know, and he does know, that natu-
raj conditions have compelled England to

undersell the world or to starve, The "inalien-
able right" about which he is so solicitous,
means that those who have money to buy
shall buy in the worlds cheapest market

THE sTAR-RoUTE VERDICT.


The verdict in the star-route case if ver
dict at all was to be returned cannot be re-
garded as unexpected. The trial has lasted
six months, il has traversed a labyrinth of
testimony and dragged through maze of
legal hair-splitting that would puzzle Phil
adelphia lawyer, to say nothing of twelve
common men taken from the ordinary walks
of life, whose minds are not trained to the
been spun out through these protracted
months. That a reasonable doubt
of guilt was created is not astonish-
ing; or that such a doubt
was developed under the pressure of threat
to resort to the common law treatment of
the jury, if they should not speedily agree,
is certainly not to be wondered at. The
general feeling, in view of the two trials, oc-
cupying nearly year and costing hundreds
of thousands of dollars will undoubtedly be
one of relief if not of satisfaction. 1t is also
to be said that the second charge OF Judge
Wylie was by no means so peppery and de-
cided in tone as was his first, fresh from
which the former jury voted by SO heavy a
majority in favor of the conviction of the
several defendants. Whether the govern
ment failed to make so strong case as on
the first trial is difficult for layman to say,
but no criticism can be laid upon the
prosecution for lack of spirit or pur-
pose. No money has been spared no
effort omitted, no words minced, in urging
the suit on the part of the government.
Very properly, on behalf both of public JUS
tice and of justice to the defendants, the
prosecution has been as vigorous and as I'M
relenting as it could have been made, and be-
cause of that fact the administration will
certainly be acquitted of lukewarmness in
the duty devolved upon it, while the
defendants can claim that their vim
dication is by so much the more
pronounced. Nothing is to be gained for
law or for good administration from an in
discriminate attack upon the purity of the
motives of the jury. The verdict has been
most patient and exhaustive hearing, and it
is reasonably plain that q further continu-
ance of a criminal prosecution will avail
nothing. The facts made public since the
investigation of star-route methods of ad-
ministration first began have already
sufficed to work great saving
in the expenditures of the Postoffice
Department, and in this result must be
found the chiefest public benefit. 1t is not
pleasant picture, as developed in the evil
dence, to see a United States Senator the
principal figure in colossal system of gov
eminent contracts, and we apprehend it will
be a long time before such another combina-
ton will be made. The effects of the trial,
costly and protracted, and inconclusive as it
may be regarded by many, will be whole

THE Richmond (Va.) Dispatch, promi-
nent Democratic Journal, gives utterance to
the following unequivocal sentiment:
at might as well be understood first as
last that the whites of Virginia do not intend
to permit negroes to be trustees of white
schools. This is a humiliation to which no.
body has right to expect the superior race
to submit"
All this talk of 'the superior race" is of
the hde-bound past, relic of slavery days,
and no part of the living present. The only
Humiliation" in this is the fact that nteli-
gent men can be found who will indulge
such twaddle. 1t is the existence and ex-
preston of such feeling that makes North
ern Republicans take up with Malone. Just
so long as the doctrine of Superiority" is
preached, and the solid South is made
continuing issue in national politics, will
Republicans and Northern people generally
unite to defeat them. "Mahonesm" as q To-
cal issue may be far from desirable. but as
pitted against race prejudice and the align
ing of one section of the country against
another, it is vastly preferable to that Bour-
bonism that learns nothing and forgets moth
ing. The superior race" of Virginia needs
