tralization Of manufacturers in few
great corporations, and their recent
fusing into formidable trusts.
In conclusion, Mr.. Wilson said
You may strike down that tribune Of
the people on the other end of the ave-
nue., who, putting aside all ideas of
prudence, spoke out that ringing sum-
mons that rallied the people as nothing
else ever did. You may strike down
the leaders of the Eight as you struck
them down in the last Congress. Those
who hold the standard may fall, but
other hands will take it up and move
forward. The spirit of liberty is be-
hind us; all we can hope for the des-
tiny and greatness of this country urges
us forward y
Many Republicans joined in compli-
mentary manifestations which greeted
Mr.. Wilson's closing words. = Kara

We WOULD like TO remind our Re-
publican friends whose dreams are now
disturbed by visions of free coal, that
so far as we know or can find out there
is no attempt anywhere being made to
pnt coal on the free list. Certainly
the bill of the Ways and Means Com
mittee does not touch the tariff on coal
and up to now no amendment has been
offered affecting it. If our brethren
of the Republican press will spend
their time in hunting up some plausi-
bic excuse for their party's position in
opposition to tariff reduction in viola
ton of its pledges made in 1884, and
not attempt to brighten their readers
with fansiful propositions that doubtless
will never become political issues, they
will be more probably employed. We
much prefer to discuss present issues,
not to drag up the past or anticipate
the future. - Index.

The New York Commemorative
tiser, staunch Republican paper puts
it this way:
The existing tariff secures wealth,
power and a perpetual supply of ever
cheapening labor to the privileged class
in whose interest its reform is opposed !;
to all others it works harm. 1t pro-
tects monopolies it does precisely the
reverse for industry. The remedy is to
reform it, and yet the exceedingly mod
crate compromise measure of reform
now pending in Congress, is denounced
by the organs and representatives of
the privileged class, and workingmen
are urged to oppose it, upon the false
plea that it in some way threatens the
prosperity of American industry. The
fact is gradually becoming clear to men
of all classes, however, that it is not
industry, but monopoly, that is pro-
tected by the present tariff, and that
the only way in which the prosperity
of the country can be properly and
fairly distributed among all people, is
by the reform of the tariff upon some
such lines as those marked out by the
President in his latest annual message

take not il was in the sign-manual Of
Judge Caldwell, Of Cincinnati, who
likewise is prominent factotum in the
National League of Republican Clubs.
The donation was wanted for the Ma
tional League. Such an appeal one
would naturally suppose would have
stirred the very portals of Sherman's
generosity. Instead, however, of in
closing either bank bill, draft or check,
the letter in reply was Of apology.
Il can not respond, Sherman wrote,
and then in effect the words that his
campaign expenses had already been
too heavy.
1t seems to be the spectre of Blaine
on the horizon which drives Sherman
to retreat So long as the Ohio man
can win the plaudits of his countrymen
solely through the grandeur of his
personal graces, Mr.. Sherman will pay
with the redundancy Of his smiles.
This much-no more. Like the well
ordered hotel; this legend he now
openly displays: No money loaned
No checks cashed.

HENRY WILSON, one of the ablest
statesmen given to the country by the
Republican party, in an old speech
made when that party had emerged
only little while from its formative
state and was yet free from the control
of the monopolistic elements that now
dominate it, said i:
Men who have looked with hungry
eye upon treasury OVERLOOKING with
surplus millions do not wish to see the
source from which those coveted mill
lions are derived dried up. / think
American labor will be best protected
by taxing all the nccessaries of life
lightly, placing the raw materials which
enter into our manufactures on the free
list, raising revenue to support the gov
eminent on articles that come in com
petition with our manufactures, and
upon the luxuries of life, which are con-
sumcd by the more wealthy classes of
society. We want all those articles
that enter as raw materials into the
manufactures of the country free of
duty, so that the country can stand on
an equality in the markets Of the world
with the other nations Of the world
For advocating nothing more, in
proposition to reform the tariff and re-
duce the revenue, Democrats are to-day
slandered as free traders, who would
cut down the wages Of labor and let in
the products Of foreign nations to the
ruin Of onr own industry. Who has
changed since the Republican party

back into the control Of the govern
ment, with the jealous preservation of
an enormous treasury surplus az their

MARRIAGE A LA MODE.

In order to provide wives for the
emigrants in New Caledonia, the
French Government is said to have
advertised for one hundred young
women to 90 to Noumea, offering
free passage and one hundred francs
to each. 1t appears that any woman
who accepts this generous offer must
engage to marry an 'emigrant'' at
Noumea. Emigrants are of two
sorts-voluntary and compulsory
and in Noumea it may be safely
considered that the latter sort is in
the majority. In plain English,
divested of all French polish, one
hundred of the young women of
France are asked to come to Noumea
in order to wed recidiriSteS, and are
offered four pounds of British mo-
ney to do so. 1t must be borne in
mind that recidiciSte is the French
for incorrigible felon. That heredi-
tary instincts are developed under
circumstances favorable to their de-
velopment is well known, and when
such instincts are not of advantage
10 human improvement their course
ought to be checked. Such call as
has been made ty the French Gov
ernment can only be listened to by
women of the lowest nature, and,
even though responded to by such,
is not the less revolving, while it is
a direct insult to the women of
France. The hundred women who
will be chosen must of necessity be
of the criminal class, and when they
are married to their emigrant hus-
bands open defiance is given to all
that regulates morality. For what
can the offspring of such marriages
be? We do not gather figs from
thistles and grapes from thorns, nor
can we expect to find a pattern of
the highest morality in the family of
recidiUiSte father, and a mother
who has been one of the hundred
women advertised for by the French
Government. As q means of grow
ing and forcing criminals the eX-
pertinent will be a success, and in
no other light can it be viewed.
Our children, and our children's 8
children, will have dangerous neigh
bors in the offspring of such mar
riages as the French Government
are trying to effect. The "Repub.
lican marriages" of '92 meant deatt
to the hody, but the marriages o
'SS mean death to morality Aus
