SPANS DOWNFALL

Unholy Tariff system.

Unholy Tariff system.
Poor old Spain has an industrial
system Of which the system OF the
United States Is almost an exact
counterpart. Spain has tariff sys-
tenn which. in taxing raw materials
and almost every thing else that com
merce carries to her gates, is the very
ideal of the protectionists OF this
country. An atrocious protective pol
Icy. mitigatcd only by the enterprise
and daring of the smugglcr, has in
three hundred years reduced highly
gifted nation, which was once in the
van OF Europe in the arts and manu-
features. TO the condition which The
world witnesses to-day. The Spanish
industrial system has been in full
operation in this country for only q
quarter OF a century, and in twice that
time even more balcful policy than
that which Mr.. Blaine advocates could
not overcome the great natural
political and social advantages OF the
American people and their superior
energy. intelligence and enterprise.
But. as surely as history is philosophy
teaching by example. so surely will
this industrial system, If persisted in.
produce the same fatal results that
other nations almost rs highly en-
dowed have experienced. The liberal
statesmen of Spain are endeavoring to
abate the mischiefs of her protective
policy, and it is the earnest hope OF

The Republican party promised in
its National platform of 1884 to ''cor-
rect the inequalities of the tariff" but
instead of redeeming this promise or
taking any step looking that way, it
has offered every possible resistance to
every attempt made in Congress to
correct those inequalities. Now. what

CLEVELAND AND GRANT.
Two Presidential Messages That Re;
Very Much Alike.

Two Presidential Messages That Read
Very Much Alike.
President Grant in 1870 delivered n
message to Congress on the same topic
which President Cleveland has made
the subject of his now famous message.
There is an old saying that great minds
run in the same channel. 1t may or
may not be true. This much, however,
is certain in this connection: there is
a close resemblance between the senti-
ments expressed in President Grant S
message and those in President Cleve-
lands message. The result of Grants
message of that year was the treaty of
1871, which gave to the citizens Of this
country highly important rights, which,
however, expired in 1885. Here are
extracts from the two messages, one
emanating from a Republican Presi-
dent and one from Democratic Presi-
dent, but both full of patriotism:

AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY.

What the Present Tariff Schedule Costs
the Common People.
The high tariff is precious thing
in the sight of the monopolist, but
plain, common people, since they find
what an expensive luxury it is, are not
SO fond OF it. When they look at the
tariff schedule they find that it costs
them many a dollar in the common

We know that into outmost space,
Snatchcd sheer of earth the spirit goes
Alone-s tark-silent but who knows
The awful witherward ?--the place
Which never deepest piercing eye
Had glimpse of, into which we die
Who knows p-God only on His word
l wholly rest, solely lean.
The single voice that sounds between
The eternities No soul hath heard
One whisper else, one mystic breath
That can reveal the why of death.
I think of all who've passed the strife !;
Pale women, who have failed to face
With bravery of common grace
Their daily apprehensive life,
Who yet with strainiag arms stretched
high
Through ecstacy. could smile, and die.
OF little children, who would scare
To walk beneath the dark alone,
Unless some hand should their own,
Who've met the Terror unaware.
Nor knew while breathing out their
breath,
The angel whom they saw was Death !!
And am comforted because
The love that bore these tremblers
through
Can fold its strength about me too;
And may find my quailing was,
AS theirs, phantom that will fly,
Dawn-smitten, when I come to die
Therefore, cleave with simple trust
Amid my hopes, amid my fears;
Through the procession Of my years,
The years that bear me back to dust
And cry, 6 All Christ, if thou be nigh.
Strong in Thy strength dare to die !"

RECALL REV. GRIMKIE.

We are of the opinion that the
trustees and members Of the 18th,
st. Presbyterian Church, could not
do a more .hansome act than re-
call Rev. F. j. Grimkie, to the pas
rorate of their church. Rev. Grim
kie, is the man for the place and
we hope that the trustees and
members may favorably consider
the suggestion of the BEE and re-
call this talented and worthy min.
lister. We know this distin-
guished and talented divine and
the services that he rendered to
the people of Washington, while
in this city. Let DR.. F.. Shadd, j.
S. Morrison, Prof. 81. M. Browne,
Mr.. Smith Wormley, and other
submit the name of Rev. Grimkie,
to the congregation and we are
confident that it will be unanim-
ously received.
