The editor of the Duluth Para.
grapher can say more cute things than
the average Democratic editor, aud
never fails to hit the mark he
aims at unless when firing in the dark.
Bede is a democrat, free trader, and
adopts one name for both-tariff re-
former. In answering the Journal
critlclsms he commences q rambling
fire in the dark, perforates the out
skirts OF protection weakness, but by
recolling action on the part of the
weapon he uses, slaughters democracy,
kills Its arguments, and gives an easy
entrance to that citadel of British
free trade-the democratic party of
tins country. Concluding his attack
he aims his strongest argument against
protection at us, and the "draws the
drapery of mental darkness around
him, or words about the same. Bro.
Bedes arguments against protection
are as follow:
1T as barrier to commerce, and
in such degree an approach toward
barbarism."
An approach towards barbarism-

1t IS a denial to man of his natu-
raj rights, which should be withheld
only for the public good, an. not for
personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT"
Ii starvation, low wages, and serf-
dom mean denial of rights then pro-
lection is an injustice. Is it natural
right when the European laborer rises
at day break and works all day for
less than two shillings per day? Is it
natural right where the free trade
beggcr workman of Great Britain
labors, slaves and tolls like a beast for
lCO per cent less wages than the AM
eriean receives? But why repeat the
horrors and desredations Of free trade
countries, particularly to a royer of
Its doctrines who scouts the idea of
advancing facts, and then tries to
bolster up the pauperism of democrat
Ic free trade by chasing Belgium as a
country where protection holds the
fort when he knows it to be different.
The history of free trade is the history
of sorrow, distress and pauperized lab
or. /. 1t is the history of despotic COY
eminent, the curse of free born man
hood. Its doctrines are refreshing
only in their deadliness, and for proof
of the fact We re9ues5 our excellent
friend to read the history of England,
! Ireland, Scotland, Germany, India
and South America countries. Be-
sides read few free trade chapters
from the history of our own country,
and then tell US why the United States
has prospered since protection became
the doctrine of its government, placed
there by the grandest political party
ever organized, the republican party

The first boat to unload q cargo OF
coal ut the West Superior docks was
the kalinga, Capt. John Lowe, which
found It's say to the dock about s a.
m. Yesterday. The yessc! Is 4 big
four mast steamer, and has 1903 tons
of soft coal from Cleveland At

her cargo, and at S O'Clock this morn
ing she will turn about AMI run into
the Great Northern ship. to be loaded
with wheat for Buffalo. Captain
Lowe said that his vessel was the first
to leave the 500" on Tuesday last,
aud for long distance broke the ice
for the rest of the fleet that followed
her. But she finally became separat-
ed from those behind, AMI made way
as rapidly as possible in the direction
OF Two Harbors, encountering heavy
ice about forty miles from that port,
which completely blocked her pro-
gress. The kasota and Ossifrage
were fortunate enough to get between
the ice and the north shore and SO
reached Duluth canal day ahead OF
the kaliuga. 1t toook the latter YES
sci all day Sunday to pass down from
the north shore to the Superior entry,
the course of the late winds having
driven the ice southwark in the lake.

Mrs +, TT Purdv to

Mrs. L, H. Purdy, teacher Of
oil painting in all its branches, in
GLIDING lustra, water color and crayon
work. A few fine paintings of Mrs.
Purdy's may be seen at the Keaough
Bros, West End ST., Superior, where
terms may be learned.
The people of West Superior as a
rule are progressive and appreciative,
and yet We learn with regret that the
city is losing resident, as well as an
artist, q lady with twenty years ex-
perience in oil paintings, a lady with
natural talent, culture and ability for
fine art. The lady referred to is Mrs.
L. III. Purdy, well known to Superior s
best families, having taught a class
here during the long winter months.
The ladies of her class have accomp.
lished much during their studies and
have many fine productions to show
for their tuition. Mrs. Purdy leayes
West Superior for Duluth where she
will probably find new field and
good prospects for her professional
duties, as it is understood she opens
up studio in that city.-Inter-

A Washington dispatch Of the
10th INST. says: Senator SDooner
to-day offered an amendment author
izing the secretary of war to make a
survey of Minnesota Point, at the
west end of Lake Superior, and to
ascertain, if possible, the probable
cost of condemnation and purchase of
this point as a reservation for the pre-
servation of the harbors at the head
of the lake" We hope the Senator
will be able to carry his amendment
through. The government should
never have parted company with that
strip of land
