Nr Dear Sir:
Your letter o. February h4, just been
received. and. IN compliance with your re-
quest. enclose copy Of the new tariff BILL
Introduced by Mr.. Morrison, the chairman
Of the committee on ways and means. in the
House.
|, j, the result of long .tad, and prep
aratiJn on the part Of Mr. Morrison and
majority Of the Democratic party in the
House OF Representatives which nominated
and elected Speaker Carlisle.
II j. an additional piece of evidence 10
that election. moving that whatever con
,royer,e, may arise in the Democratic par
~ upon the subject Of the tariff. in the end
the free trade faction i, sure to come out
ahead
Mr. Randall. with hi, long experience
aud acknowledged skill in managing per
sonal politics and with the undoubted sup
port Of many Of the great leaders ia the par
y outside Of Congress, va, unable 10 make
stand against this prevailing sentiment.
If there is ANYTHING that the Democratic
party TO-DAY believes in and is willing to
make fight for, il i free trade or. what is
the nearest approach TO il possible, tariff 70 r
revenue only. There are many individual
exceptions TO this of course. and there are
States. ike Pennsylvania. where the local
sentiment is too strong for this natural bias
of The party: but that bias controls the par
~ to-day. and will shape lis action wherever
il gain, any lodgment in the national gov
eminent.
The indoctrination of the party before
the war. when the entire South was for free
trade is influencing aud controlling its SEN
timent to-day. No matter what evasi,e and
double dealing resolutions Democratic State
Conventions may pass. or Democratic Ma
tional Con,en NAV set up as their plat
form in order, as General Gordon. in his
oft quoted letter in favor Of Mr.. Randals
nomination as Speaker, puts it. ITO keep
the real issue out of sight until after cleo
tion," whenever such election is over and
the Democratic party has succeeded in get
ting power. as it did in the elections of 1882,
in the House Of Representatives, it will
proceed to make nominations, select leaders
and legislate against the Republican doc
trine Of tariff for revenue only, with the
distinctive feature Of protection excluded.
1t is worth the " lille for the people Of
Maine. both Democrat and Republican, to
examine the new tariff bill. in order TO see
how this inevitable drift Of tie Democratic
party effects Maine industries
If our people had been selected as an in
stance of discipline and punishment TO be
administered because Of their reputation
of the Democratic party. no tariff bill could
have been framed more obnoxious and dan
gerous TO them.
Look at section ?, which provides That
on and after the first day Of July, 1884, the
list of articles following shall he placed upon

park, not exceeding ten acres for each tract,
on which may be erected hotels for period
not exceeding ten years, but such lease
shall not include any geysers or other OBJ
jects of curiosity or interest. or exclude the
public from free and convenient approach
ther to. or include any ground within 8
quarter of mile Of any geysers or the
Yell owstone falls, nor shall there be leased
more than one tract not exceeding ten acres
to any one person, association or corpora
ton.

one OF the cemeteries near New York, and

German Trichinosis.

The special commission who investigated
the outbreak OF trchinosis in Elmerslaben,
Saxony, have made their report. The
town contains $50 inhabitants, of whom
257 contracted the disease. For years q
large proportion of the people had been in
the habit of eating raw minced pork spread
on their bread for lunch, in the belief
that meat is more nutritious raw than
when cooked Suddenly an epidemic sP
peared, which attacked one third of the peo
Pile, Is per cent of the cases proving fatal
None Of he remedies prescribed by the doc.
tors had the slightest effect. The disease
ran course of from three to eight weeks,
proving the most fatal among the older
people. While there were numbers affected
who had cooked their pork before Gazing it,
it was noticed there was not . single fatal
case among this class. The conclusion is
that in period of years there was one lot
Of diseased pork received to which the epi-
demic was due; but the fatalities were all
ewing to the common habit Of eating meat
raw.

vital necessity for our feet which in case of
war will have to depend npon the coaling
facilities for their power to defend our pos.
sessions. Our army is never more than ad-
eqaate for the work it has to do. and the
occupation of Egypt put severe strain on
our ordinary military arrangements. The
imp ortance of improving our defepses may
be judged from the fact that property a,
