SOME asTARTFF RRFoRM.o

The proposed legislation against trusts in troduced by Representative Breckinridge of Arkansas is based upon the assumption that all the trusts and combinations are fostered and encouraged by the tariff, and are, in fact, the direct result of 1t. The very titles of his bills are significant of this idea. They are each entitled, "An Act to Correct Customs Abuses Arising under the Tariff Laws" The bill applying to the Standard oil trust exempts from duty all importation of coal oil whether crude, refined or distilled. The United States imposes duty of twenty per cent. on importations. The duties are inop- erative We export the oil to all parts of the world and we make the price for the world. Yet Mir. Breckinridge says that the import duty increases by so much the price of the domestic commodity. The price of the oil averages as low in this country as abroad, ,and there is no possibility of any foreign country competing with us.
 Another bill of MT. Breckinridge puts cet- ton seed and cotton on the free list. The Boston Commercial Bulletin points out that here Mir. Breckinridge's proposition springs from the thoroughly absurd free trade idea that the price of domestic commodity is necessarily enhanced by just the amount of the import duty, and says: He says that large quantities of cotton seed oil for which there is 8 growing demand, are now manu- faotured in England from Egyptian cotton seed, which he claims is superior to our own for purposes for which it is put. To remove the duty, would in his opinion, admit of competition. As matter of fact, the cotton seed oil is as low here as abroad, and we ex- port large part of our product to European countries. It there was any good prospect of competition by Egyptian oil, which is only produced in small quantities, and Is a dark heavy oil, our trade in European countries would have felt it, which it has not. The bill If passed, would be absolutely insfeo- tive as regards the Cotton-Seed Oil trust. x As regards copper, MT. Breckin- ridge proposes to exempt ore ingots, etc., from import duty. This would produce ab- solutely no effect on the Copper syndicate, which ia not American but French, and which controls the price of copper not only here but uniformly throughout the world. We export thousands of tons of copper both refined and in the ore.
 It is evident that Mir. Breekinridge will have to try again. His bills do not indicate that he really knows what he is about

ation and shame. Again France dispatched sixteen men-of-War and twentyreight other vessels to Louisburg. These were nearly all captured by the English with eight million dollars' worth of conveyed goods. In 1749 the close of the Franco-English war restored Louisburg to France; but on the outbreak of another war in 1755 Louisburg was again the objective point of tremendous defensive and aggressive operations. Sung by defeat and loss, in 175S Great Britain sent the greatest single battle fleet known to history with one hundred and eighteen transports and fouru teen thousand men against this mighty "Dunkirk of America" A savage siege was begun against the doomed city. On July 28th, 1758, it fell; and in 1760 English sap pers and miners in six months time utterly demolished the most gigantic fortress of modern times. It is a moderate estimate that this grim old ruin cost France and Eng- land two hundred and fifty million dollars, the loss of more than two hundred battle ships and transports, and that fully twenty thousand souls perished in it's making, It's care, in efforts for it's destruction or in it's defense. And yet how soon the kindly hand of time effaoes such horrible scars upon the earth and humanity. It is place of almost desolate peace to day. Not one in ten thou sand descended from the nations whose in- tensest hope and dread then centered here, knows or cares where the old war scared sepulchre stands; and only the 1oiterer and dreamer, seeking the far off spot at infre- quent times, may stand, in vision, upon its tremendous rampsfts, or view the dread marshaliDg of it's mighty specter hosts.

 Mir. Charles Booth has made an important study of the people of part of London. He divides the population of the district under examination, numbering about & million souls, from information collected from house to house and family to family by the school board visitors, into eight classes designated by the letters of the alphabet. The four classes AID include the poor, using the term in it's widest sense, A being the 'floafers and semi-criminals, and D those who have "smal regular earnings.n Between these are the tspoor,'' persons having sufficiently regular though bare income, such as 1ss. to Bis. per week for moderate family" and the styery poor,r who fall below these mea- gre figures and live in state of chronic want. In these four classes are to be found 8 little over thirty-fve per cent. of the popu- 1ation, the largest proportions being in the second, the livery poor," and the fourth classes, the "loafers" forming only little over one per cent. Mr. Booth then proceeds to show the causes of this poverty. These he divides into three kinds, which he terms questions of employment-that is, irregular work, low pay, and small profits; questions of habit, as intemperanoe; and questions of circumstance, as illness or large family com- bined with irregular york; etc. Out of six teen hundred families of the classes A and B, per cent. were 1oafers, those who will not work; 55 per cent. were livery poor" be- cause of irregular work. eto:, IA per cent. on account of drinking habits, and 27 per cent. because of illness or large family. The con- dition of twenty-four hundred families in classes 0 and D was due in 65 per cent. to. irregular work, 13 per cent. to intemperauce, and 19 per cent. to illness or large family. It appears, therefore. from these figures that irregular work and low wages are the prinei- pal causes of poverty.

Illinois Republicans are beginning 10 real
ize that they made a prodigious mistake
when they nominated Fifor for Governor IN
a Presidential year.
Fifer is the man who, two years ago, was
cited by General Black Commissioner Of
Pensions, as an applicant for pension who
had been unduly favored by a previous
Republican Commissioner simply because
Senator Cullom had asked IL Take I'D
Filters casc,' wrote Cullom in effect. HE
is good Republican, and it will help our side
TO have him get his pension. Other PEG
pie, particularly Democrats, can watt
The only charge made by General Black
was that under Republican Commissioners
gross favoritsm was shown in the granting
Of pensions. Cullom's letter pleading for
Fifer was given with others in evidence.
This was Fifer's political birth. He has
been a great man ever since. The Clcve-
land Administration had kicked him, and il
was his duty and privilege to make parade
and exhibit the precise place where the
blow fell
Having been taken up by the machine,
which saw some merit in him. Fifer has
become, says the Chicago Herald, the leader
of Illinois Republicans. men who not long
since had Lincolns and Grants and Logans
and Oglesbys and Natesos and -rrumbulls
for their chieftams. This Fifer, whose
chief claim TO fame Is that he was an un-
usually persistent and importunste pension
beggar, and was exposed as such, has, by n
queer freak Of party bossism. come out on
top OF Republican politics IN one Of the
greatest American States. His candidacy
Is prcposterous. His backing is bad. He
represents a vicious machine. he has little
fitness for the place to which he aspires-
He ought not to be elected.
Republicans themselves are now appre-
ciating these things. They know that they
have the weakest and altogether the poor
est ticket that eyer was put up before the
people OF the State. They know that il VIII

respectable nominations.
