ALEXANDRIA, VA
TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 8.

THE PRESIDENT says the most practicai
way of reforming the tariff would De 10
modify the present law SO as to "help poor
people who labor, and to take away need
less protection from the few who have
grown Unfortunately rich at the expense OF
the many" 1t is hoped Congress VIII
adopt the suggestion. 1t is wise ana
practical one, and will.so prove itself II
made effective. The people want the duties
removed from the necessaries OF life, SO that
the cost of living may be lessened; and there
is neither rhyme nor reason in prolonging a
system by which few miners and manu-
facturers have "grown inordinately rich at
the expense ofthe many" If Congress would
adopt the Presidents common sense tarin
suggestion referred to and his equally as
sensible views on the silver question, the
country would soon begin to experience tne
necessarily accruing benefits.

Rev. Mr.. Brickman studied in the Universe
ty of st. Petersburg, Russia, but graduated
from the University of Leipsic and entered
the Lutheran ministry. His connection with
the troubles of lS4S in Prussia exiled him
with the Hon. Carl Schurz, with whom he
has always maintained an ailectionate
friendship. A few years after his arrival in
America he became imbued with theSweden
borgian doctrines and entered that church
as minister. Since giving up the active
work Of the ministry he has pursued ltera-
ny labors and lecturirg. He has published
in Baltimore for thirty years a German
semi-monthly called Der Bote Der Neucn
Kirchc, devoted to the interests of the
Swedenborgian religion. He has written
number of religious works, such as cate
chisms and hymn books, and for one entitled
'At the graves Of our children" he received
an autograph letter from Queen Victoria
thanking him for copy. He served as
chaplain in the federal army in the late civil
war. He was Mason and member Of the
Grand Army of the Republic. A wife and
eight children survive him.
