Morton viii hereafter make Ellerslie his
home for at least six months in the year
Mr.. Morton Is not at all miserly. He
gives abundantly of his millions for char
table purposes. In 1880 congress placed
the Constellation at the disposal Of those
who desired to succor the victims Of the
famine in Ireland. Mr.. Morton learned
that no offer had been made to load the
vessel. He addressed letter to morn
ing paper in which he said: You are au-
thorized to announce that q gentleman
known to you, who declines to have his
name made public, offers to pay for one
quarter Of the cargo of the Constellation
il other parties will make up tb. balance. :"
The proprietor of the newspaper. how
ever, and W. r. Grace contributed each
one-quarter, and other gentlemen fur
nished the remainder.
The Hocksway beach improvement trou-
bles occurred in the summer of 1880. Five
hundred workmen were unable to obtain
their wages because of the financial ruin
in which the gigantic hotel enterprise had
been involved. Certificates of indebted
ness were issued to the workmen, but
they were useless to the men, who needed
food for their wives and children. At
this juncture Mr.. Morton joined the house
of Dre1el. Morgan & Co., and each con-
tributed $50, 600 for the relief of the work
ingmen. They paid the full amount of
the certificates and declined to accept any
discount. In 1885 he gave to Dartmouth
college house and lot near ROLLS chapel,
for which he had paid $500. The gift
was for the purpose of enabling the col
lege to erect an art gallery and museum.
When Mr.. Morton was made minister to
France, Dartmouth conferred on him the
degree of LII. D.
AS is well known, Mr.. Morton began
his business life poor boy and all this
wealth and power to do good is the result
of his wonderful executive ability, and all
of it has been made honestly and honor
ably. In business circles he stands
monument of integrity. He is richly en-
titled to the enjoyment of his vast wealth.

The Real Friends of Cinnamon.

The simple truth is that on every pos
sible occasion the present administration
has proved itself the friend of China, ard
opposed to the California view of the
question. If any proof were needed, take
the refusal of the house on Monday to
take up the exclusion bill for which Bel
mont and Morrow are working A bare
hint from the Democratic dictator would
have scfficed to put the bill on its pass
age, but no such hint came. Why not?
Because Cleveland knows that the bill, if
passed, would stop up the gaps which the
treaty has left, and because he values the
friendship of Chang Yen Hoon more
highly than he does that of the Pacific
coast. When Califoxnians are looking
around for friends to China let them bear
these things in mind.-San Francisco

Senator Frye Explains Why He Favefs
the Republican Doctrine.
"The Democratic party met at St.
Louis and made an utterance on the tariff.
They referred you 70 their back track, but
the cloven foot was seen and they pro-
ceeded to indorse President Cevelsnd's
message. His statement that tariff is
tax. whether he knew it or not, is fun
damental doctrine of the Golden club,
the fundamental doctrine of free trade,
and as it was then, not as it is now, nor
as it viii be, they indorseo the
Mills bill. every item of which was
deadly blow at protection. 1t has
been amended somewhat since. in
order not to lose some Democratic
votes. But standing as il does today. it
Is the great entering wedge of free
trade in this republic. l know Mr.. Car
Isle said in New York that the Demo
cratic party is not for free trade know
they will send Mr.. Randall into Connecti-
cut and that they made Mr. Barnum
chairman of the national committee in
order to deceive the people Of Connect
cut. am not such an idiot as to believe
that they will repeal all duties to-mor-
row. They can't do it. A direct tax to
support the government would throw
them out of power In the twinkling of an
eve But put the Democratic party in
power for twenty years and you viii have
free trade. Now, l am in favor of q
protective tariff. What for? Not TO pro-
tect capital Capital is able to take care
of itself. But | would bring it out of the
farmers stocking. out of the savings
bank, out of the United States bonds,
and put it in mines, and furnaces, and
FORCES, and factories, so that they could
hire men and women and pay them good
wages and enable us TO compete with the
half paid laborers of Europe"
The senator proceeded to draw con-
trast between the cost of a factory in the
United States and in Europe. The labor,
he said would amount TO 80 per cent Of
the cost, and factory built here would
cost $500, 900, against $500, 900 there. The
comparison made between wages in this
country and abroad was striking. When
he asked if there was any screw loose in
his statement he was met with cries OF
Not at al, ;" Good, 3" That's right" etc,
The speaker went into the question of
wages here and in Europe, ard asserted
that careful investigation showed that
the rate here is about twice as
high. He then described his per-
sonal experiences in Europe, where
he made careful inquiries as to the
wages OF isborers il Italy, Belgium, Ger
many and Great Britain. He also spoke
of the cost of living and of clothing, and
inquired whether worlImen here wanted
to live as they do OH the other side of the
Atlantic.
''lf you 90, he continued. ''vote the
Democratic ticket, and at an early day
you'll nave the privilege
he closed with a glowing description of
the growth and prosperity of the United
States under protection. His last sen
tence was:

science, your best intellect, your best
work. FOR the conservation and the pre-
seryation of this blessed republic of ours. p"

president, Quay was opposed to it. He
| knew that the popular sentiment OF the
| party was against it, and while it
might be possible with the party
machinery to force the convention,
he Indicated in the plainest terms what
the result would be. Having done all
this. he yielded his own opposition in the
party counsels, and the result was what
he b ad foreseen and foretold. 1t led to the
defeat of the caucus candidate for United
States senator the following winter and
cost the party the state election IN 1852.
When in the latter year Col. Quay
sought the nomination Of Charles 5.
Wolfe for lieutenant governor on the
ticket with Gen Beaver 1t was because he
felt that the party in its every element
should have the broadest recognition.
Gen. Beaver had been put in false posi-
ton by malicious publications. That
Senator Cameron desired Beavers nomin-
alton was true, but that the candidacy
had been agreed upon at a caucus in Cam
erop's house in Washington was untrue.
Yet that statement was printed as fact,
and i aroused a resentment III many quar-
tiers at a time when Gen. Beaver had the
popular support of the party for the nom
ination without any urging from Cameron,
and undoubtedly could have been nomin-
ated in opposition to him. Quay's efforts
TO reconcile the party did not cease with
the failure to nominate Wolfe, but ex-
tended throughout that campaign. They
failed, but the work YVES accomplished the
succeeding year by his successful support
of Jerome B. Niles for auditor general.
These facts are Illustrative of Quay's
method. Those who have assumed that
he believes in bossi.,g the party totally
misunderstood him. His power in politics
has its handspring in his keen and close
observation of the current of public
thought and feeling, his quiclness to
grasp its Significance and readiness to
Weld to its will He has ever sought to
know the temper and desire Of the people.
in the party councils this has always been
his position. and though often defeated
by those who We're more powerful at the
moment, his course has been consistent.
lie has never failed in his fidelity to those
who have been true to him. Coming into
political life at about the time the Repub-
lican party was organizc1, he has ever
had earnest and steadfast belief in its
principles Many Of these he had helped
to formulate, and he has always been
little in advance of general thought on
those questions which have given the
party much of its best force.
Senator Quay is not fluent orator, but
it will be seen that he is q man of great
and good influence and OF wonderful exc
cutive ability His management of the
campaign is sure to result in u grand vic
tory Ill November.

The blessings OF Protection.

The most marvellous thing in political
economy, tie most wonderful proof of the
value of the system of protection that was
inaugurated by the Republican party, is
the fact that in spite Of an immigration
surprising anything recorded in history,
in spite of nearly a million of the laborin z
classes of Europe having been brought
every year into competition with the
working classes of America since America
adopted the present protective system,
the pay of the laborer has hardly decreased
during twenty years. What would be
the condition of America today with such
