Hon. Morrison r. Waite.
Chief Justice of the United States.

SAAOA u OuSltCc Ol G1lS UulIeU SGdGeBs
Morrison r. Waite presents a subject for
more extended biography than our space
will permit. Fulsome eulogy would be
unworthy the character and Office of the Chief
Justice. On the other hand, the record of
such life belongs to the public he has
served and is still serving with so much
ability. -.
In the quiet old rural town of Lyme, Con-
necticut, still stands the house where Morri-
son Renwick Waite was born, November 20,
1916. Mr.. Waite entered Yale College at
the age of II and graduated with honor in
1887 in a class which included VIM. M.
Evarts, Edward Pierrepoint, Prof. Sillima,
and others who have become distinguished
men. He then began the study of law in
his. fathers Office in Lyme, but finished
his studies in the Office of Samuel M. Young,
then prominent attorney in Maumee City
Ohio. In 1889 his preceptor took him into
partnership and in 1850 the firm of Young
& Waite removed to Toledo, O., and estab-
lished large and successful practice. A
few years after, Mr.. Waite 8 younger broth
er was admitted to the bar and partner
ship was formed consisting of the two
brothers, which continued up to the time
of the formers appointment to his present
high position by President Grant, January
20, 1874.
Politically Mr.. Waite is Republican,
but he was always too deeply engaged in
his profession to become much of par
tisan Or party leader. To all the war
measures of the government he gave ear
nest and effective support. In 1849 Mr..
Waite was elected to the Ohio Legislature
as Whig. In 1862 he was reluctantly
candidate for Congress but was defeated By
Edwin NJ. Phelps. Thereafter other nom
nations and appointments were rendered
him, but he refused to accept any of them.
Mr.. Waite was conspicuous character in
the great Geneva Tribunal as one of the
United States counsel and he performed
his arduous task to his great credit and to
the entire satisfaction of his government.
He thereafter returned to Toledo and re-
sumed his practice, and in 1873 was chosen
president of the Ohio State Constitutional
Convention. Upon the death of Chief Jus
tice Chase there was intense interest
throughout the United States to know who
would be his successor. After the successive
nomination of Hon. Geo. Ell. Williams and
Hon. Caleb Cushing and the withdrawal of
their names, President Grant then selected
Mr.. Waite and his appointment was con-
frmed by unanimous vote in the Senate.
1t is the glory and security of nation to
have its highest temple of justice filled by
men who, like Chief Justice Waite, add to
the loftiest official character that purity of
life, urbanity of manners and generous
benefcence which distinguish him.
Protectionists Who Are Wrong on
The Sugar Question.
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1884-05-03
Protectionists Who Are Wrong on
The Sugar Question.
American Protectionist.

The following paragraphs from two East
ern contemporaries illustrate dangerous
phase of current discussion:
The Boston Journal claims to be strong be-
lever In the principle of a protective tariff and
and should be reduced" This may be consis-
tency, but there IS not a single argument IN sup
port of protection but that, will apply with
this country.-lfilf0rd Journal.
No Inconsistency whatever. The sugar in
dustry has had the largest direct protection
ever given to an industry for eighteen years.
and it is nearer supplying the demand of the
consumers now than 1t was In 1870. That IS,
protection has not been followed by any con-
siderable growth of the industry The cotton,
woolen and other great industries are able to
not only supply the ordinary market but to
supply it SO fully that there is a competition
which makes the prices lower than they were
during the period OF a revenue tar1H.-Boston
Journal.
The Milford paper is right, and the Bos-
ton Journal is as wrong in its statement
of facts as it is in the conclusion it draws
from that misstatement. Before the war
we produced more than one-half of the su-
gar consumed in the country. The war
desolated the plantations, levelled the sugar
houses, broke up their expensive machinery
and destroyed their essential and costly
drainage. No section of the South was
more completely ruined industrially by the
war than the sugar parishes, as the writer
witnessed. Meanwhile foreign sugar got
possession of our markets. Then, instead
of declaring adhesion to a policy that would
revive the American sugar interest and
justify the necessary large Investments to
redeem the plantations and reconstruct
their machinery, we commenced to agitate
for free sugar and discourage all enterprise
among onr producers. Then came Hawaiian
reciprocity and the Spreckels monopoly
job, and finally tariff reduction and threats
of yet heavier reductions and of free trade.
Under a well defined protective policy we
would now, beyond doubt, be producing
from one source Or other nearly all the
sugar our people use. AS it is, this has
trifing per capita that it burdens no one.
These are the facts of sugar legislation and
agitation since the war. The sugar in
terest has not been the favored one. On
the contrary, it has been harried and
worried beyond most others. We have
saccharine bearing lands and saccharine
plants enough to supply ourselves fully,
and we will do so very soon after the settle
ment of the sugar question on such pro-
lection basis that the American sugar pro-
ducer will be justified in enlarging his
plantations and improving his mechanical
plant, instead of working from hand to
mouth from season to season in constant
apprehension of ruin through free trade.

Carl Schurz is IN great danger OF loss
ing the use Of one of his hands. During
the campsien OF 1876 he made several
speeches in the interest Of the Repub-
iican party, for which a. for everything
he ever did for the party be received
more pay than he earned. In one Of
these speeches Mr.. Schurz said Only
once Gin 1872 have slept in a side
room Of the Democrats party, and
there I have heard enough not to vote
Democratic ticket again in all my
life. Yes, my hand shall wither before
I do so again" At the recent meeting
of Independent Republicans In New
York Mr.. Carl Sohurz offered tie fol-
lowing resolution: "Resolrsa. That We
look With solicitude TO the coming nomi-
nations by the Democratic party; they
have the proper men: We hope they will
pat them before the people for cleo
ton" II Mr.. Schurz hand had with
cred before be signed certain documents
Ia the Interior Department IL would
have been better for his reputation and
for the country.

BY recent nominations made by the
President and promptly confirmed by
she Senate, the United States 10 again

past this Government has been without
