The supreme object Of the Republi-
can party on the tariff quest ION is to
serve the laboring classes protect the
poor people who consume upon life all
their hard earnings, TO afford .ncour-
aScnent TO ell who have capital TO in
vest in the development Of the nation
resources and wealth, in fostering all
industries that employ men and wo-
men, and have all things work for good
to the poor. The party has protected
the slave, the laborer, the great multi
tudos who have in any sense been op-
pressed; its mission is still the same, to
stand unfinchingly by the peo' lie, and
oppose the destructive policy Of free
trade, that is not blessed with one ar
gument fer any Cne save the few capi-
lalists wlo seek 30 erslave American

main motive in joining the strike. The
operators have not been the only suf-
ferers. The telegraph companies have
not only lost good deal of business
but have been paying eXhorbltant
prices to the operators who stood by
them. Tie public has suffered also,
and everybody will no doubt rejoice
that the strike has ended. The sudden
collapse was no doubt caused by the
refusal of the railroadsoperators to go
out when they were ordered, and tie
tardy response to the appeals OF the
brotherhood for funds with which to

COLLAPSE OF TIE STRIKE.

The folly of striking as n means of
settling differences between employers
and employed as to wages or other
matters in dispute, is illustrated in the
case of the telegraphers strike, which
has terminated i'm Hat failure. All
The operators who walked out have
lost nonths salary and many Of
them will be unable 20 obtain employ
ment for many months, perhaps, so
many places having been filed 10y 9th
prs during the continuance of the
strike. The strikers have got them
selves into bad oder with the compa-
nies and being compelled TO submit to
harsh terms of surrender, will find
themselves still more truly at the mer-
cy of the telegraph monopoly. The
chance for promotion some may have
had when the strike was made has heen
forfeited and they will be under the
ban for some time, receiving such treat
ment as the company may regard them
worthy Of. The old schedule OF pay is
i'm force and the outlook for an ad.
vance is not promising. The strikers
behaved themselves with admiral Il
propriety end deserved better result
of their effort, but the market was bet

semblance of de spotism.
The principles of Jerc Black and the
political school TO which he belonged
are not dead. The federal doctrines
have been vigorously applied for near
ly quarter of a century. The power
they concentrated in the central gov
ernment was absolutely necessary to
the existence of the Union for time.
They have carried us over u vast space
in the progress OF the country, and,
like all other human devices, they APP
pear to have survived their usefulness.
The power they give has for several
years been used chiefly for mischief,
and the times are ripe for another
change; which apparently is to be
return TO the principles of Jefferson,
which shall again restore to the States
many of the functions which the fed
eral government found necessary for
its own use in the ordeal of war and
reconstruction.
We are now enjoying great prosperi-
ty, assured peace, a perfect Union; no
enemy. foreign or domestic, threatens
us. In this condition of things, the
less our government does the better.
The only thing government can now
de is to tax us; and the only return it
can make for the taxes, is TO absorb
them in an extravagant and useless of
fetal list or distribute them in So
called benefits among those who paid
fhem-Denefits which can never equal
what they cost. 1t is time, therefore,
for the restoration of the principles Of
Jere Black, and everything looks as if
that were going to happen. Detroit

CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES

James g. Blaine was scofTed at in
some quarters for taking the ground in
his correspondence with Lord Gran
vile on the Panama canal that an i'll
ternational agreement could be modi-
fed by a change of circumstances
amounting to an alteration of the orig
inal con iitions; but this .is precisely
the view which the overwhelming body
of English commercial opinion is now
taking Of the Suez canal concession.
As Mr Edward Diccy says i'm the
Nineteenth Century the canal was
intended for monopoly by Said Pa
sho, who gave the canal company its
present rights; but then the risk of
competition must have seemed to be
absolutely illusory." A good deal has
happened since, and the pouvoir ex-
clusif which was granted TO DeLesseps
must be understood to refer to the one
canal he was building - Philadelphia

He's Afraid,

Chicago, December 2S.-Paddy Ryan,
who was expected to meet Sullivan in
San Francisco next month, left for To-
ledo unexpectedly two days ago, and
late last night telegraphed that ne had
to throw up everything at present. Par
son Davies, who has been managing
Ryan's affairs, had arranged for Pad
dy's appearance in Minneapolis and
st. Paul In a sparring exhibition, and
had also billed various places on the
Northern Pacific road with the expect
alton that Ryan would appear as his
principal attraction. These exhibitions
were to be given on the way to San
Francisco. On receipt of Ryan's tele-
gram Davies accused him of showing
the white feather and that he was
afraid to meet Sullivan. Ryan replied
that he would return to Chicago as
o IS he could move his mother.
Later he telegraphed Davies that every
thing was "off," including his meeting
with Sullivan, as his mother was very
sick. Davies comments very freely on
Ryan's conduct, and says 1t is a clear
case of flunking and that Paddy is
hiding behind his mother, Other
sporting characters declare that
Ryan is in no condition for a match of
any kind, that he has been drinking
heavily. and that in a recent friendly
