In the Circuit Court at Sandy Hill, N.
Y, last week, Miss Fannie j. Baker OF
Middle Granville, N, Y, obtained YER
dict of 81 500 against William j. G.
Barrows for breach of promise of mar
rage. This case was referred to in the
BANNER last week. Barrows formerly

as showing the moral sense of the de-
PENDANT. He followed Miss Baker and
practically admitted all she said He
testified that he at one time entertained
the most ardent affection for Miss Baker,
but he had subsequently. broken the
marriage contract because he was smit-
ten by the personal charms of Miss
Buckley, whom he married two years
after his engagement to the plaintiff.
Mr.. Farrar, of counsel for the defend
ant, in his closing argument justified
his clients action on the ground that,
after his affection had been transferred
to Miss Buckley, he would have COM

An Anti-SaIoonist.

Those who would like to read what see the
Independent calls "a speech of remarkable
power, will find in General Harrison's Dan
vile Address," printed in the indianapolis
journal of November 2sth, 1887, his views
of the evils of the liquor traffic and his ring
ing denunciations of any alliance between the
Republican Party and the Liquor League.
General Harrison is emphatically an Anti
Saloon Republican. In regard to the form
in which the issue has joined here in Indiana
his trumpet has given no uncertain sound.
He has declared strongly for local option and
increased restriction to the extent to which
public sentiment can secure and maintain
them.

that conceals the home life of General Har-
rison and his family yet feel free to say
that it is Christian American home, of the
noblest type, where the affection that binds
its members is purified and strengthed by
faith in God, and where, from the family
altar, that was erected more than third of a
century ago, there goes up each day the ut
terance of thanksgiving and confession and
prayer to the Heavenly Father.

Refuted by The Record.

Roger Q. Mills, the Bourbon apostle of
Free Trade, has only plunged deeper into
the mire by denying that the sugar trust
manager, Havemayer Of New York, APP
peared before the Committee of Ways
and Means. Possibly it may be, that
sion, the trust man did not make his ap-
pearance. But this is mere dodge on
the part of Mills. The evidence is con-
elusive that Havemeyer saw the members
in the Committee room and pressed on
them the demands and interests Of the
trust. That was just as real and effective
as though he went before the Committee
in formal session, and probably more so.
In his speech at New Albany, Indiana,
Mr.. Blaine pointed out the page and date
Of the Congressional Record, where the
debate is reported, in which Breckenridge
Of Arkansas, a member of the Committee,
admitted that he invited the trust mana
ger and his attorney to the Committee
room, on the 18th Of April last, to talk
Of Kentucky, and another member
Of the committee, admitted that he had
met Havemeyer and his attorney at an
other time. Mills denial is plainly a
white lie. Equally deceptive and false
IL his language in regard to the course OF
| the Republicans on the sugar tariff. Mil
| likens bill for the entire removal of the
sugar tariff was strangled by Mills Com
mittee. The Republicans in the House
voted for the Dingley proposition to re-
duce the sugar duties fifty per cent, which
was defeated by the Democratic majority.
The Democratic Mills bill only reduces
the sugar tariff twenty per cent, amount
ing to less than $4,000, 900 total per an
mum, while the Republican Senate bill
strike off nearly $50, 600, 900 per annum.
The Free Traders take their course on
sugar for two reasons-they wish to pla-
cate and hold the votes Of the Louisiana
| Congressman, and especially they do not
want the surplus reduced TO the amount
of $50, 900, 900 without cutting down pro-
lection on articles that can be amply pro-
| duced in this country. 1t adds immensely
to the embarrassed and hypocritical posi-
| ton Of the Democrats when it is coDsid-
cred that they themselves raised the howl
about trusts" controlling business and
politics in this country. To have the
proof come out that five of the principal
and most offensive trusts in the country
are controlled by Democrats and large
contributors TO the Democratic election
eering fund, is not very agreeable to
Roger q. Mills and the Cleveland gang,
but that is the feast to which the Mug
wumps are invited, and it does not yet APP
pear that they have made manifest any
moral nauseation.

The Profits of Labor-Where the Bene-
fit OF Protection Goes.

1t is the Democratic contention that only
if. Hon. Thomas McDougall, in Avondale
(says the Cincinnati Times-Star), hurled at
the Democratic position some bombs Of fact
which completely destroy the fabric of error
erected by theorists. Mr.. McDougall was
once laborer in free trade Great Britain,
and when he speaks on the practical opera
ton of the tariff, as it affects the interests of
labor, he speaks by the card. lie said
"My employer in Leith paid Inc as skilled
mechanic for working on building engines
and other machinery, the sum of So per week.
My employer in Cincinnati paid me for the
same kind of work, and the same amount of
work, Sl5 per week. Who got the SO per
week. Certainly not my employer. | did.
Now, my employer in Scotland made, | know,
larger profits on the capital he had invested
than did my employer in Cincinnati on his
capital. Both were Scotchmen; both were
good mechanics; both were hard working
men. Who got the benefit of the tariff levied
to protect my Cincinnati employer in his
business against the same work done by my
employer in Leith, Scotland? The mechan-
les. KNOW IL ulu not go INTO the pocket OF
my Cincinnati employer. Had there been no
Protective tariff my Scotch employer would
have driven my Cincinnati employer out of
the business of engine building, and might
have been still working in Scotland for So 90
a week. Four ffths of the cost of every en-
CINE, lathe. machine of any kind or descrip-
ton, from the time the iron leaves the
ground as ore until it stands finished ma
chine ready for work, is paid to labor, to the
mechanics engaged in the making of the ma
chine. As the employer does not receive
more in this country than fair return ON his
capital invested; as he does not receive as
much, as rule, as the employer in free
trade England does, necessarily the purchas-
er of the machine in paying its price pays
four-fifths of that price to the mechanics who
are engaged in its construction. And there
is the vital point regarding a revision of the
tariff. Any reduction of the tax when that
tax is at point that simply enables the man
ufacturer to make legitimate profit neces-
sarily involves a reduction of the wages of
the mechanic"

A Democrat on Protection.

In past years no man has stood higher
m Democratic councils than William W
Eaton of Connecticut. His party honored
him with a seat in the United States Sen
ate, and afterwards sent him to the House
of Representatives from the First District
of his state. 1t was while he was in the
second body, in 1884, that he gave utter
ance to- the following significant sen
fences:
To the members of this House | desire to
address myself to those who are talking of
robbery, of plumber, of corruption, stealing
and thievery There is not single article
bought in the South, from the wagon that
draws the farmers cotton to the markets to
the pin that his wife uses, that is not 80 per
cent cheaper than it was fifteen years ago.
No matter how wrong the principle of Pro-
lection may be, that is the fact. | grant you
that il is wrong, but the fact remains the
same. 1t has cheapened everything under
Gods heavens that men. women and children
use in this land-everythine.

"To ascertain the effect of the Mills bill

The w. c. T. U. in Pennsylvania

The Third Party managers have failed
In their efforts to get control of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union in
the great State of Pennsylvania. The
Unions of that State held their annual
Convention in Pittsburg last week. 1t
was composed of more than five hundred
delegates. Its sessions were interesting
and sometimes highly exciting. The sup
porters of the Third Party found them
selves in decided minority. They made
a test of their strength in thoroughly Or
gained effort to elect officers committed
to the Third Party They found them
selves in a minority of more than hun
dred, casting for their candidate about
two-fifths of the votes of the Convention,
and the attempt to discriminate against
Mrs. Ellen j. Foster as a speaker was
equally failure. Thus in two great
States-Pennsylyania and Iowa-where
the Woman's G. L. Unions are very nu-
merous and strong, an effective resistance
has been made to the intrigues of the
Third Party managers. If the larger
Drained and wiser Temperance women of
other states will take a similar course, and
not allow the organization to be tied to
any political party, but to continue its
moral and christian work on the broad
field in which it labored its first years, it
may be rescued from threatened ship
wreck and disintegration. Its safety is
absolute disconnection from all partisan
politics, so that it can successfully invite
to its fold persons from all parties and all
sects on fair impartial and catholic ground
The imperative need of the Temperance
cause to-day is unity among its friends.

LITERARY NOTICES.

odds the most charming book for little people
we have ever seen. Its fables, or stories
are delightful, but the illustrations are sim
ply immense.
The author, Palmer Cox, is a new star in
the juvenile armament, but he shines with
unique brilIiancy. His charming fables rival
those of the world famed .Esop, and he faI
outshines that celebrated literary comet by
his inimitable illustrations. He dresses VI
his birds, animals, insects, giants, fairies
gOblins, ETC., in grotesque style and makes
them reason, talk, dance, and cut up all sorts
of the oldest pranks imaginable, affording
infinite delight, as well as excellent instruc-
ton to the young. The issue of his book
