general assembly. He expressed full con-
fidence in the men elected and pledged

Resolved, That the Knights of Labor
promises the civil and political equality of
all men, and in the broad field of labor it
recognizes no distinction on account of
color, but it has no purpose to interfere
with or disrupt the social relation which
may exist between the different races in
various portions of the country.
This resolution was adopted without de-
bate. Mr.. Powderly, when asked whether
the assembly would be able to adjourn this
week, said it was impossible to say.

The Approaching Crisis.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Oct. 20-The tariff dem
onstration to-day in honor of James G.
Blaine was as large as anticipated. When
Mr.. Blaine was introduced the crowd num-
bered over 10000. 1t was nearly five min
utes before he could make himself heard.
Among other things, Mr.. Blaine said: "a
crisis in the tariff system OF the United
States is rapidly approaching. For long
series Of years-ever since the close of the
war-we have had a vast debt to be paid.
However large the national revenue, its
surplus could always be proftably applied
to the liquidation Of our national obliga-
tions. We have discharged that debt so
rapidly that there remains now but little
more than 100000, 0,0OOof it that can be paid
IN this country. Now, what are you going
to do with the surplus which flows annu-
ally into your treasury. The free trader
replies, Get rid of your surplus by striking
down this protective tariff, lower the duty
on many articles, put large number of
other articles on the free list and reduce
your revenues The protectionist answers,
Let us so reduce our revenue that wise
discrimination of the American laborer in
his daily earnings may be protected by the
national law, and keep that in view as a
primal object, [Cheers.l Since leaving
Philadelphia, l have been complimented
by a notice Of the London Times which
tells me that the views which hold have
been negatived by the people Of the United
States. and that we are travelling toward
free trade and away from projections; from
the dark days of our own policy, toward
the enlightened policy of England. [De-
risive merriment.] In the same paper in
which read the cablegram l have just
quoted, comes another from London, which
says that the poor have risen in riot
against the lord mayor for having splen-
did dinner while the workingmen of
London are starving in their novels. [Cries
of "hcar, hear" and approbation:] l give
you these two kilograms as a better argu-
ment than any could make on the ques-
ton, and send back a greeting to the
London Times that I stand this moment
before countless thousands of free Ameri-
can workingmen who have good wages
and happy homes, with prosperity behind
them and before them" Tremendous
cheering.]

The Fools Prayer.

The roya1 feast was done: the king
Sought some new spot to banish care,
And to his jester called :" Sir Fool.
Kneel down and make for us a prayer"
The jester doffed his cap and bells.
And stood the mocking court before;
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore.
He bowed his head and bent his knee
Upon the monarcb's siiken stool;
His pleading voice arose: 30 Lord.
Be merciful to me. fool ~
"a No pity. Lord, could change the heart
From red with wrong. to white rs wool,
The rod must heal the sin. but, Lord,
Be merciful to me a fool.'
'''Tis not by guilt the onward swing
OF truth aud right. o Lord, we stay;
'Tis by our follies that so lOus
We hold the earth ffCm heaven away
- These clumsy feet, still in the mire.
Go crushing blossoms without end;
These hard well meaning hands we thrust
Among the heart-strings of a friend"
:: The ill-tin,ed truth VIC might have kept.
Who knows how sharpi it pierced and stung;
The word we rad not sense TO say,
Who knows Eow gtandly it had ruug''
" Our faults 10 tenderness should ask.
The Christening stripes must cleanse them all
But for our blunders. oh. is shame.
Before the eyes of heaven we fall
earth bears no balsam for mistakes.
Men crown the knave and scourge the tool
m ~
Be merciful TO me. fool"
The room was hlshed in silence rose
The king. and sought his gardens cool,
And walked apart and murmurcd low,
"Be mercifu to me. a fool"
