in It's turn, should dodge the issue, it

more, it will deserve to bo beaten"
In regard to the tariff Mr.. Ford said
il there were articles on the list the
duties on which might with safety be
reduced it was the friends OF the protec-
tive tariff not its enemies that could
safely be trusted to make the reduction.
Being asked Il the friends Of protection
could or would make any reductions he
replied "the facts answer in o. afEirma-
tive. The principle Of the protective
policy, Us 1 understand it, is this: Home
industries ought to be fostered and en-
couraged. In order that native indus
tries may thrive and American working
men be able to live in comfort and de-
cency duties should be levied on the
products of similar industries in foreign
bands sufficient to cover the difference
between the ill-paid foreign labor and
the better paid American labor-that is,
sufficient to maintain the American
standard Of living. But on things which
cannot be produced in this country, and
which cannot of course come in COM
petition with American labor, there
ought to be no duties at all. Tea and
coffee, for instance, cannot be raised
here; tea and coffee, therefore, ought to
be, US they are, ON the free list; and it
was the Protectionists that put them on
the FREQ list in opposition to the Free
Traders, who wanted to keep the duties
on those articles which are essential to
the poor mans table. In so-called Free
Trade England tariff duties are still
levied on tea and coffee. The protective
policy is tho American national policy
and Blaine is its grandest embodiment

1t appears that other countries are
week-kneed in their army and navy be-
sides the United States. Lord Wolseley,
the Commandcr.in.C Chief OF tho British
army, made rather remarkable state
ment in the House OF Lords when he
declared that ii force of 100000 men
effected a landing they could take
possession OF the country. As weak us
our army and navy are that could not
be accomplished in this country. They
might get in and do considerable dam
age for n time, but they would never get
out of the country whole. In the
breadth and length OF our domain lies
the greater part of our security. 1t is
possible that owing to the present
condition of our Notifications and navy
our seaport cities might be hammered
out of shape by European guns, but
even that is matter contingent entirely
on rapid movement. We are inventive
and cute enough to circumvent the
enemy insome way.
England has too many interests
abroad, and its ambition to extend the
sway Of tho British scepter will yet
bring unlocked for trouble. The state
ments OF Wolselcy and Others have
created genuine alarm, for according to
him the government would be troubled
to put down an ordinary riot in Trafal-
gar Square.

HE SAW THE NORTH POLE
Old Tom Roper Tells Yarn that Aston.
Islles the People OF Red Hook.

Old Tom Roper Tells Yarn that Aston.
Islies the People OF Red Hook.
The fair city Of Brooklyn has one citi.
zen who claims to have accomplished
what many others set ont to do, but
never succeeded. His name is Tom
Roper, and he claims to have visited the
North Pole and returned alive and well.
This man, who has never received the
appreciation or public honor to which
his achievements entitle him, resides
in that classic portion Of Brooklyn
called Red Hook, where sea and land
contest for the mastery, and the smell OF
onions and greens have constant strug-
gle for supremacy with the odors OF tar
and hemp from the Atlantic Docks and
the Eric Basin, where the bowsprits OF
ships peer curiously in at the rear win
dows OF dwelling houses. The great ex-
plorer earns living by the manufacture
Of lobster nets. and claims Donegal US
his birthplace.
Tom is rather diminutive, being only
five feet three and weighing scarcely
l2O pounds. Wrinkles diverge from his
nose as a central point, like the spokes
Of wheel, and have so changed the
contour Of his face that Tom would
never be able TO recognize an early pho
tograph Of his phiz. Two bright, twink
ling eyes peer out OF this cabinet Of
wrinkles with the inquisitive penetra-
ton that becomes discoverer and ex-
plorer.
Mr.. Roper's ambition to: reach the
Pole was stirred within him by much
reading about the expeditions OF Sir
John Franklin, DR.. Kane and others.
This led him to serious study on the
matter, extending over long period,
until at Inst he determined upon setting
out himself, with the intention OF chip
ping off q piece OF the pole itself.
"f got dere," said he, through smit's
Straits, in the Injun 0shun.' They are

strength OF de rock salt. But want ter

Tho Irish World OF last week contains
very interesting interview had by Col.
Carson Lake, with the editor, Patrick
Ford, on the candidacy OF James G.
Blaine. Mr.. Ford states that he is in
favor OF Blaine because "the health OF the
nation, tho life OF the party OF Protec-
ton, and the complete emancipation
from the slavery of machine politics Of
Irish-American voters depends on his
election"
This is good point, and ono that
commands the serious attention Of the
Republican party. Never until Blaine
was candidate for the Presidency
did. the Irish throw any considerable
strength for the Republican nominee.
Being asked il another good man
standing on Blaine's platform would not
commend himself to the judgment of
voters, Mr. Ford replied:
Enthusiasm plays as large part in
campaigns as anything. Marry the two
md the offspring is blessing. Many a
man might stand on Blaine's platform,
but where is the man with Blaine's mag
nctism? II the Convention shows judy
ment the people will show enthusiasm,
and they will show it more because the
Convention shows judgment"
The interviewer remarkiug that there
were those who thought there were no
great issues dividing the great parties,
the editor OF the Irish World said:
"If that is so, then it makes no differ
cncc which of thetwo parties is victori-
GUS or which is defeated. But there is
an issue and very distinct issue-that
is the tariff. In 1854 Mr.. Blaine tried to
force that issue, but the Democrats
lodged it, and the Mugwumps were
equally dishonest, AS General Butler
Witty remarked, the tariff plank in the
Democratic platform was constructed on
the principle Of the gun that, when it
went of, would hit the object II calf
and miss it il a bear. But now Cleve-
land in his stolid egotism has revived
the issue. Thank God for it! Clever
land has put the Democratic party in
double irons and committed it to free
trade. His message will be its platform.
