We aoSsh for Immortality. The
thought of humiliation is horrible;
even to conceive it is almost impossi-
BILE. The wish is a kind of argument:
it is not likely that God would have
given all men such a feeling, if He
had not meant to crafty it. Every
natural longing has its natural salts
faction. If we thirst, God has created
liquids to crafty thirst. If we are
susceptible of attachments, there are
beings to crafty that love. Ii we
thirst for life and love eternal, it is
likely that there are an eternal life
and an eternal love to satisfy that
craving.

Unfinished.

The day has ended and the sun has set,
Unfinished is the task planned to do,
sit and ponder DER with deep regret
The golden sunlight vanquished from my
view.
And thus full oft at last when life doth close,
And toll is ended for the restless feet,
And for the busy hand the long repose,
The cherished work of life Is incomplete.
o Thou who knowest all from sun to SIM
From birthday morning to deaths evening
chill,
Look on thy children with their tasks undone
In loving kindness, and forgive them still.

There is one universe, in which
each separate star differs from anoth-
er in glory; one Church, in which a
single Spirit, the Life of God, per-
vades each separate soul; and just in
proportion as that Life becomes exalt-
ed does it enable every one to shine
forth in the distinctness of his own
separate individuality, like the stars
of heaven.

Asking Relief from Congress.

Petitions are in circulation and are
being numerously signed by working
men in the Northern States asking
the President to summon an extra
session of Congress ''to consider
measures for the relief of the indus
trial classes of the country and for
the revival of business. It is hard
to see what good an extra session
could do for this purpose. No legis
lation could have a direct effect in
relieving the depressed condition of
the industrial classes, or could exert
an immediate influence in reviving
business.
For years the country has been
laboring under the disadvantage of
wrong economic system that has
restricted our foreign commerce
while it injured domestic industry by
alternate stimulation and depression,
and at the same time has burdened
the peoole with oppressive taxation.
This system was intended for differ
ent conditions from those that now
exist or have existed for nearly two
decades, but has been retained as a
party measure and also to subserve
monopolistic interests. Its result has
been a steady decline of the indus
trial prosperity Of the country. Its
fruit is seen in colossal fortunes built
up by favored class of capitalists
and protected monopolies, and half
employed, poorly paid and impover-
ished working class in the manufac-
turing districts North.
What is needed now is reform of
tariff system which is blighting the
industry of the country. Such a
modification of the custom laws is
advisable as will remove from produc-
tive industry the restrictions that
have excluded our trade from the
markets of the world and subject our
home markets to the evil of over pro-
duction. Above all things is needed
the reduction of the taxation upon
the common necessaries of life insep-
arabic from high protective duties
and which is most burdensome to the
working class.
The business of reform in this
matter, there is no doubt, will be
taken up at the next session of Con-
gress. The Democratic party is
pledged to tariff reform. The people
want it. That is sufficiently evident
from the fact that the Republicans in
their platform of last year were COM
PEELED to hold out the promise of re-
forming the hurdensome and unequal
tariff laws. If the leaders of that
party are able to overcome their sym
pathy for monopoly they cannot go
back on their promise of tariff reform
by interfering with the great work of
modifying and reducing, and on some
commodities entirely abolishing, the
tariff duties, which there is every rea-
son to believe will be undertaken. by
the Democrats at the next session of
Congress. The workingmen who are
petitioning for relief through an ex-
ira session of Congress must patient
ly await the results of such legislation.
