The American people seem to be
coming to their senses in regard to the
ttrilf question. The growing demand
for a reduction Of import duties is not
confined to the west by any means.
The subject is being thoroughly dis
cussed throughout the country, and
even laborers in protected industries
are beginning to realize the utter falsity
of the claim that the spoliation system
is chiefly maintained for their benefit
and bchoof. The New York Evening
Post says:
The revolt Of the farmers Of the
west against the high tariff was serious
enough, but the protection column has
now suffered a worse attack in its very
stronghold, The laboring men in
Pennsylvania are getting their eyes
open to the fact that protection does
not protect the laboring men, and are
declaring for tariff reform. Several
assemblies of Knights of Labor in
Pennsylvania have adopted resolutions
declaring that whereas, the I'hiladel-
phia and Reading railroad are employ
ing immigrants to fill the places Of the
strikers, and whereas. the company is
protected from foreign competition by
protective tariff on coal, (which we
have fondly believed for years was in
tended to benefit American labor" and
whereas they are citizens of the repub-
lie and believe that laws should be i'm
partial and that no laws should be en-
acted which confer special benefits on
any class OF citizens; "therefore be
resolved that, III coming elections for
congressman we shall support only
those men pledged to repeal the tariff
on coal"
The workmgmen of Pennsylvania
are PRAYING congress to repeal the i'm
port duty on coal To this prayer
every resident of the cold northwest
ought certainly to say, Amen,

CONTAINING SOME CONFESSIONS not IN
TENDED FOR THE PUBLIC EAR.
Miss Irene Norcross, after breakfast, was
sitting in her chamber with her widowed
sister-in-law, who had come to spend few
months with her late husbands family. The
widow no longer wore the roses Of youth
but was yet on friendly terms with Time; in
deed, 50 quietly had their annual settlements
passed off that it would have puzzled any
one not in their confidence to tell how the
account stood. The simplicity of her dress,
the chastened look, and the sobriety Of
phrase. of winch her recent eff elton was the
cause. might have iliasel a. thTty-fye, but
when her clear. placid eye was turned upon
you, and you saw the delicate flush deepen
ing or vanishing upon smooth cheek, and
noted the changeful expression that lowered
like a spiritual presence around her mouth,
is would have been treason 10 think Of a day
beyond twenty.
She had known but little of Irene, and that
Little had shown her as lover Of dress and
Of admiration, besides being capricious to a
degree unusual even in spoiled fayorite.
A musical soiree was under consideration.
Irene was proficient upon the harp ana
piano, and, as size Lad heard that Mr. oak
hurst, the handsome painter, as she caiiea
him, was fine singer, she deterfnined 70
practice some operatic duets with INN, that
should move ali her mIsical friends to envy.

The most sweeping charge which the
advocates of high tariff taxation hurl
against tari0 reformers is that the
doctrine is too theoretical. That the
theory upon which it is based is right
in the abstract cannot he gainsaid
But to establish a plausible theory to
support the so called policy of protec-
ton passes mans understanding; for
it is self evident that country cannot
he enriched by burdcnsumr taxation.
But discarding nil reasonable theories
the champions of the spoliation sys-
tenn rely upon misstatemcnt of the
facts and the Juggling of statistics to
maintain their case Their whole pol
icy is truly cXemplitied in their persist
ent r. ;eration of the absurd claim that
the present depressed condition of
Ireland is due chiefly to English free
trade That this statement is the
direct opposite of the truth is patent
to every student Of history, But pro
tcctionists take little account Of the
intelligence Of the people. On the con
trary they rely on the ignorance of the
people and their own ability to mis-
lead them. How utterly false is the
claim that Ireland has been injured 10y
free trade is clearly told in the follow
ing brief extract from recent editor
ial article in The Chicago Tribune:
OF all historical fallacies the most
absurd is that English free trade ruin
ed Ireland. 1t was English protection
that ruined Ireland. The ruin was
complete long before the dawn of the
free-trade principle in Great Britain
The most curSory reading of the econ
omic relations of the British Parlia-
ment to the Irish farmers and manu-
tacturers make this evident beyond
dispute. Whenever the farmers of
England found the meats or the grain
of Ireland making Roadway in the
British markets they Clamored for a
statute crippling or prohibiting the
export of Irish cattle or Irish grain.
Whenever they clamored loudly enough
they get the statute. The manufact-
ures of Ireland were deliberately
suppressed by the British legislation
for the avowed purpose Of protecting"
the British manufacturers. The record
of these suppreSsi~e measures can be
had in any history of the two
countries. The agriculture of Ireland
never diJ the tillers of the soil any
good. Whether burdened by legisla-
ton or left free TO make its way, the
profits of the cultivation of the land
went to the landlords. They invested
no portion of it in Irish manufactures.
These manufactures, never more
than infant, were practically destroyed
before the American Revolution, the
finishing blow being administered to
them at the beginning of that period.
When, encouraged by the success of
the .'rebels" in America, the Irish
Parliament then sitting in Dublin
undertook to wrest from the Crown
some portion of the rights that had

been extinguished by prohibitory OF
restraining laws. the demand made by
Grattan and sustained by the volun-
teers was for free trade. The Crown.
no longer able to resist the demand
and anxious to avoid trouble while
fighting the American Revolution,
yielded, and permitted, beginning in
1879, the export of glass, the export of
woollen goods, and free trade with the
English settlements in America: the
West Indies and Africa. When the
American war was over English man.
ufacturers were once more protected at
the expense of Ireland. Irish trade
with the Indies, West and East, being
forbidden.
