Mr.. John NJ. Brewer, the new North

troduced a bill to abolish he internal
revenue system root and branch. The fol-
lowing is the vsiy truth III preamble:

actual necessity under which the government

long since been removed by the wise economy
of the party which brorgh the war to q sue

taxes nave always been embarrassing and ek-

do, q system OF espionage and repression con-

Its ascendancy by means of loud and persis-

main body OF the nation by what were then
considered impossible deserts and unsur-
meuptable mountain ranges, and there WAS
great danger that at some future day this
great territory, with its immense but unde-
veloped wealth, would be swept away and
torn from the union Of states, forming a
Pacific confederacy or a republic, barring
the progress OF the nation.
This danger became all the more apparent
when the war of the rebellion commenced,
and when one Of the most distinguished
merchants of the great central city of st.
Louis, speaking in its chamber of COM
merce to large crowd, said:
We must not hasten too much. We do not
know where our furtunes win be cast There
may be an eastern confederacy, southern
confederacy, central confederacy. and con-
federacy of the Pacific coast.
This was the deliberate expression of q
business man, and, of course, those who
make craftsmanship and politics study had
the same ideas in their mind.
In 1862 Congress passed an act incorpora-
ting company to build a line from the
toward the Pacific ocean; at the same time
it offered aid in land and money to cor
poration existing under the law Of the
state of California, to build eastward to
meet the line which had been chartered by
Congress Gentlemen of the highest
financial standing in the United States were
the corporators of this company, and, with
all the advantages offered by the United
States. they were utterly unable for two
years to raise the money sufficient to COM
nence the building of the road from the
Missouri river. Additional facilities and
aid were offered In 1864, and the companies
were organized and commenced work Cap
ital SITS were loathe to invest their money
to build the lne Of road 1900 miles long
across desolste country, which had been

PROTECTION IN ENGLAND.

This country has had for some
time state department with
strong leanings toward the British
side of almost every international ques-
ton. Now the administration IS under
taking to lead the country over to doc
trines of the Golden club. But it is one
of the curious signs of the time that
while a Democratic administration is
trying to lead this country to the adop-
ton of a policy Of free trade, the agita-
ton in England in favor of a return to
protection is growing in strength and
volume, and the prosperity of the I'm
tied States under protection is the chief
argument used by those who are carry
ing on the agitation. In the report of a
recent large and influential meeting in
London, called to protest against the
ruin of British industries through unre-
stricted foreign competition" and at
tended by dozens of members of Parlia-
ment and other men occupying promi-
nent positions in public affairs as we'll as
by representative manufacturers, mer-
chants and workmen, the illusions
made to the tariff policy of this country
were numerous and suggestive. The
most significant action of the meeting
was the adoption among others of the
following resolution which was moved
by the secretary of the Workingmen's
Association for the Defense of British
Industries:
'That this meeting, realizing that the
increasing want of employment among
those whose daily bread depends on
their labor must ultimately result in
danger to the peace and well-being OF
the nation, counsels the adoption OF
moderate duties on all imported goods
which compete with our home indus
tries and labor in order that British cap
ital may be invested in the cultivation
of our own soil and in the working OF
our own mills, without which no amount
of buying and selling of the production
of our land can conduce to the prosper
ity of our people"
Among the arguments used in sup
port of this resolution was the fact tina,
in free trade England accumulated
wealth amounting to GO los a head,
whereas in protectionist America it was
60 and in Massachusetts, e22 head.

THE REFORM ADMINISTRATION

Mr.. Cleveland in his letter of accept.
ance and inaugural address used the
term reform" for all there is in it, and
there is no doubt that very many voters
who could not to save their souls have
named single practice, policy or meas.
ure of the Republican administration
that needed reforming, were captiyated
by the terms so vociferously used by
Grover, and became really to believe in
their inmost hearts as the Curtis Mug
wumps did that the chosen leaders OF
the first, last and always spoils party was
the safest man to carry out the princi-
Piles of the civil service law, that there
was something, though they knew not
what, that needed reforming, and that
the great and pure Cleveland was the
man to perform it.
And what has the three years of re-
form effected? 1t has only seemed to
develop that Cleveland is great, coarse,
stolid individual with a magnified sense
of his own Importance, and an over sup
ply of bad hammered conceit. The only
man of brains in the Cabinet was fatally
broken down physically and hurried to
his grave by useless contentious as to
the management of his department.
Had Mr.. Manning, like Garland, covered
himself with a garment of pan electric
stock and used his position to screen the
swlndling crowd from punishment, or,
like Villas, made efforts TO cover up the
robberies committed by some numbering
company in their robbery of the Indians,
he would have found far smoother sail
ing in the Cleveland camp, would very
likely have preserved his health, and
certainly would not have been forced
out by it, its pigmy members. Garland
grows more solid with Grover every
day, and promotion is given to Villas,
president and stakeholder of the Supe-
rior Lumber company, which is now OBJ
tanning pine from the Indian reserva-
ton, only ten miles from Ashland, at
from 81 30 to 81 per thousand stumpage,
that is we'll worth S., and have an agent
for those Indians who was in their en-
ployment, and through whom the COM
pany is enabled to secure the pine at less
than half its value, and pay for it mostly
in supplies at twice or three times their
cost. Is it any wonder that Villas should
want to turn over his ill-managed de-
partment to Don Dickinson, that he may
60 the Interior department, where he
will have direct control of the public
lands, and manipulate matters still more
probably for his logging company? But
this is the age of Democratic reform, and
Villas and Garland, under Growers pro-
tecting aegis are worthy personifiers of
its glories, its benefcent purpose and re-
suits.

PRESS COMMENT.

Cleveland Leader: The Chicago DEM
ocrats are trying hard to kick Sam Ran

succeed the Bourbon majority in the
National House of Representatives
would speedily become hooking MEM
DRY of the past. Mr.. Randall may be
unpleasant to the free trade majority of
his party, but his little squad of follow
ers is essential to its success in passing

Nashville 1mericda (Dem.): The South
wants fraternal feeling. The people
want free interchange of views on the
great National questions. But all must
be held in allowance until the leaders of
the Republicans abandon the idea of de-
grading the South. The refusal to con-
firm Mr.. Lamar as one of the Justices of
the Supreme Court by the leaders of the
party in the Senate leaves not doubt as
to the purpose and plans toward the
South.

MINERS WILL STRIKE.

A General Walk-Out Ordered in the
whole of the Anthracite Region
SHAMoKIN, Penn, Jan. "a meeting
of Knights of Labor and railroaders was
held here Monday, and as a result gen.
eral strike of miners and railroaders was
ordered throughout the anthracite re-
gion, except in the Wyoming val
ley. The miners strongly con-
demned the course of the railroad com.
pany and the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, and made an appeal to men
who contemplate coming into the region
to seek work to remain away until the
strike is settled. They also advised hotel
and boarding house keepers not
to entertain ''scabs," and declared
their intention to fight to q finish.
The entire coal region was represented at
the meeting The sentiment of the meet
ing was unanimously in favor of the
walk-out. Everything is quiet. Bust
ness is greatly depressed. The miners
declare they can stand out six months.
