Home Protection.

An exchange truthfully remarks:
"Alas, the times are out of joint! We
have no boys and girls nowadays. Once
there were intermediate states of boy
hood, barefooted and bean-porridge-
eating state, and spelling and ciphering
period-when there were boys to do the
chores and 60 errands-when apprentice
indentures were in fashion, and the line
between boyhood and manhood was
we'll defined by the freedom suit"
But there are no such things now. The
child steps out of his frock into a long
tailed coat and high-heeled boots, and
can give his elders quite reliable opin-
ion on the merits of cigar. So with
girls; it is either baby or lady. The
mother tends her infant, or waits upon
her daughter. Instead of spinning flax
for their fathers shirt, they reel silk for
the ladies' fair; and instead of knitting
stockings and mending trousers for
their brotherrs, they work lace and
make stays for themselves. The mother
milks, churns, mends, washes, irons
and the daughters-the ladies" read
novels, dress, and make and receive
calls. They make parties, instead of
puddings, and cook by the book rather
than from personal knowledge. We
should be delighted to see generation
of boys and girls-in looks, action and
dress--we should then hope for health
and strength, industry and sobriety,
frugality and economy, prosperity and
happiness. We go forprotection to this
class of our community. Every father
should impose tariff, one that should
amount to an entire prohibition on the
introduction of fashionable follies into
the family. He should protect and in
force home industry. He and his wife
and children should enter into "Home
League" on the subject. This is the
tariff that will restore confidence. This
is the bank that will freely discount and
never suspend"

How Blackburn found his Baby.

Senator-elect Blackburn, of Kentucky,
is quoted as telling this story: "Four
days before 1 went to the front with my
regiment we had little girl baby. She
is now grown, and you always see her
with me at any social gathering. Well,
in our army the furloughs came very
rarely. When we got into line there
was no great chance for man to get
home. 1t was about three years after
ward that few of us were one night
going down the Mississippi on river
steamer. had been sick, and was re-
turning to my command, but pretty
well broken up even then. AS for
money, we did not have any, and the
night was hot as I laid down on the
deck, my throat almost parched with
thirst. Pretty soon little girl came
along with big glass of lemonade. l
tell you, it looked good to me. She saw
me eyeing 1t, stopped a minute, looked
doubtfully at me, and finally came up
to my side. You looked as if you
wanted something to drink she said,
and offered me the glass. 1t wasn't
quite the square thing to do, but took
it and handed it back to her empty. 1t
was like nectar to me. Then thanked
the little creature and sent her away.
Soon after, just like every child, she
came back, leading her mother to see
the poor soldier. By Jupiter, it was
my wife, and the girl was the baby
whom I had last seen a baby but just
born. You can imagine the reunion.
They were with my brothers family,
and just happened to be going down the
river. That was the only time during
the four years. fighting that 1 saw my
wife and baby, and under these circum-
stances what man would ever forget it?"

This closer attention thinking men
pay to what is going on at Chicago the
more profoundly they will be impressed
by the Clayton-Lynch episode with the
rOttenness of the Republican party, even
though it be true, as the Evening Post
says, that "Clayton's defeat is some-
thing for which the friends ofgood gov
ernment should be sincerely grateful" ]"
The votes of 387 members of its "great
council' for Clayton are of themselves
strong evidence that the party is rotten
to the core, and the motive of the selec-
tion of Lynch by the 431 completes the
proof. Nobody knows the extent of
this rottenness better than Mr.. Blaine
himself, or has better reason to know
it, for he has been main source of it.
Nor does anybody apprehend its proba-
BILE consequences. We printed last Fri
day Mr.. Blaine's prediction of one
probable consequence of this rottenness
that "the republican nominee, who
ever he may be, cannot possibly be
elected this year, Mr.. Blaine has not
dared to deny the Herald that this was
his prediction. We possess proofs that
he made it.
In the way things have been going in
the republican party for many year
in the way they are going now at Chi
cago-the speech of Senator Sabin of
Minnesota, the Chairman of the Repub-
lican National Committee, at the
opening of the Convention on Tuesday,
is full of significance. "The republican
party" said Mr.. Sabn, lis about to set
its house in order" The text of the
Scriptures quoted by Mr.. Sabin occurs
in the Second Book of Kings, chapter
XX., verse | -
In those days Was Hezekiak sick unto death. And
the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him,
and said unto him. Thus saith the LOrk, Set thine
house in order; or thou shalt die, and not live.
1t is true, as Mr.. Sabin of course was
aware-for otherwise he would scarcely
have made so infelicitous an allusion-
that the Lord did grant Hezekiah a re-
spite, but it was only in consequence of
sore weeping and earnest prayers; and if
the Tribune, the Times, the Evening
Post and the Commercial advertiser
have any private knowledge of the dis
play of such symptoms of repentance at
Chicago it does not appear in their re-
ports of the great councils" proceed
ings.--M Y Herald.

feelings in engaging in it to those Of a
soldier entering battle; but 1 did not
withhold the entire conservation of my
powers to the public service.
"Twenty years of continuous malad-
ministration, under the demoralizing
influences of intestine war and of bad
finance, have infected the whole
Governmental system of the United
States with the cancerous growths of
false constructions and corrupt practi-
ces. Powerful classes have acquired
pecuniary interests in official abuses,
and the moral standards of the people
have been impaired. To redress these
evils is work of great difficulty and
labor, and can not he accomplished
without the most energetic and efficient
personal action on the part of the Chief
Executive of the Republic. The canvass
and Administration, which it is desired
that should undertake, would embrace
period of nearly five years. Nor can
l admit any illusion as to their burdens.
Three years of experience in the en-
endeavor to reform the municipal
government of the city of New York,
and two years of experience in renovat-
ing the Administration of the State OF
New York, have made me familiar with
the requirements of such a work.
"At the present time the considera-
tions which induced my action in 1880
have become imperative. l ought not
to assume task which have not the
physical strength to carry through. To
reform the Administration of the
Federal Government, orealize my own
ideal, and to fulfill the just expecta-
tions of the people, would indeed war
rant, as they could alone compensate,
the sacrifices which the undertaking
would involve. But, in my condition
of advancing years and declining
strength, l feel no assurance of my
ability to accomplish those objects. l
am, therefore, constrained to say de-
finitely that can not now assume the
labors of an Administration or of a can
vass.
"Undervaluing in no wise that best
gift of heaven-the occasion and the
pow n sometimes bestowed upon mere
individual to communicate an impulse
for good; grateful beyond all words to
my fellow-countrymen who would
assign such beneficent function to me,
l am consoled by the reflection that
neither the Democratic party, nor the
Republic for whose future that party is
the best guarantee, is now, or ever can
be, dependent upon any one man fol
their successful progress in the path of
noble destiny. Having given to their
welfare whatever ofhealth and strength
1 possessed, or could borrow from the
future, and having reached the term OF
my capacity for such labors as their
welfare now demands, I but submit tc
the will of God in deeming my public
career forever closed.

The Boston Herald calls attention to
8 most important question which can
not too soon be understood by the coun-
try. The Herald states that unless
some relief is given to the lumber trade
by the free introduction of Canadian
lumber, in very few years our most
valuable forests will have disappeared
forever. Every acre of pine and spruce
in the United States has been measured;
and it is certain that before ten years
have passed all our Northern pines and
spruces will have been manufactured
into lumder if the present duty upon
such lumber is not removed and the
Canadian forests allowed to compete
upon equal terms with our own forests
in supplying the United States with
building materials. This is protection
carried to the utmost limit of absurdity.
One of the greatest and important
sources of the prosperity of this country
is placed in imminent peril, not to pro-
duce necessary revenue, for practical
ly the duty produces no revenue worth
considering, but enrich few thousand
wealthy land owners and manufactur-
ers. 1t is this abuse Of protection that
is characterized in the Ohio platform as
fostering monopolies.

What does the Democratic Central
Committee of Ohio mean in its call for
State Convention, wherein it says:
1.-THE delegates from each Congressional
District, as now constituted by law, are
directed and requested to report to the
State Convention two delegates and
two alternates to said National Conven-
ton, and one elector from each district,
and report their names to said State
Convention, for its confirmation, which
shall be in accord with the call of the
National Committee"
1t is not within the jurisdiction of a
Democratic State Convention to confirm
or instruct the district delegates to a
National Convention, and such assump-
tion on the part of the Democratic
Central Committee bodies no good for
the Democratic party of Ohio.

THE press reports of the Republican
Convention at Chicago state that as
high as 81 900 was offered and taken for
the votes of delegates. The New York
Times, a leading Republican paper,
says: $50 far as the two leading candi-
dates are concerned the contest has set
tied down into matter of bargain and
sale. Unblushing bribery is the chief
reliance of both, and the revolving story
of the attempts and achievements of

THE NORTHWEST.
The Foundation of the Evil.

An exchange pertinently points out
the foundation layers of the evils of the
day that take place in places of trust.
"Since the assassination of Preside mt
Garfield nothing has occurred which
more emphatically emphasizes the
necessity of a change in the character
and methods of the Government than
the recent developments on Wall street.
"The murder of the President was the
elimination of the fierce struggle for the
spoils of office.
"The reckless operations of the bank
rupt brokers firms are the elimination
of the insane longing for fabulous wealth
which has had its origin in the power
of example and the corrupt prodigality
of the Government.
"a corrupt Government means a
corrupt people.
"During the Presidency of General
Grant the county entered upon an era
of splendid profuseness, improvidence
and unscrupulousness. Interested peo-
pie freely offered gifts to the soldier
which the President thought it within
his line of duty to accept. The Cabinet
officers followed in the footsteps of their
chief and made money out of their high
positions. The Private Secretary of the
President deemed it entirely legitimate
to sell his services and his information
for money to Whisky Rings formed to
defraud the Government. The Secre-
tary of War did not hesitate to make an
auction of post traderships. The Secre-
tary of the Navy enriched himself out
of the lobby jobs. Corruption spread
from the Cabinet to Congress and
scarcely a clean hand was found among
those who shaped our legislation"
Under the Hayes administration grew
up the infamous Star route schemes,
where fabulous profits was the desire
and corruption to the government the
result. The Dorsey-Arthur corruption
carried the election in 1880, and the
final elevation to the presidency of
Arthur whose official life in the custom
house atNewYork was that of spoliation.
"What wonder that under these in
fuences and examples the spirit ofreck-
less speculative gambling, an eager
thirst for wealth and unscrupulousness
as to the means by which it might be
acquired, should spread among the peo-
pie?
"What did the country see? An ex-
President, the great General of our
armies, lending the influence of his
name to all sorts Of wildcat enterprises
after gliding it by sort of a semi-regal
dead head voyage around the world !!
Cabinet Ministers and Judges stepped
down from their positions to become
gamblers on Wall street or the we'll
paid servants of wealthy corporations!
"The people of any country which ex-
poets to be prosperous and happy must
be able to honor those who are high in
authority, and to look up to them as
models of integrity, purity and justice.
If they see their rulers involved in un-
scrupulous speculations and dishonor-
able transactions, they can respect
neither the Government nor the laws"
