approaching the discussion Of the issue OF
today, he was often overwhelmed by the

preached it from the standpoint OF the la
borer and the farmer, and would make MS
speech as clear and brief as possible.
Il have never" he said, made up my
mind that great people or any other people
can be benefited by heavy taxation. Near
ly 80 years ago we found ourselves blessed
by low rate of direct and indirect taxation.
Ana yet when when the war Of the rebel
lion broke out we found ourselves pros
porous people. As soon as the war
broke. out we had a tariff tax, put
on Tor the raising OF funds 10
meet the expenses Of war. Now
after twenty-five years we find that.
while the taxes have been taken off property
OF the rich man, they.yet remain as high as
ever on the poor man and the laborer. Now
this tariff question Is merely a question of
taxationiThe question Of wages has nothing
to do with it. Wages have declined In this
country in the last 25 years, while In free and
unhampered countries like England and the
Argentine Republic they have steadily in
creased. In the last % years under pretense
of protection there has grown up system of
terrible slavery. There have been intro
duced slaves from Hungary, Poland, Russia

Democrats are claiming everything, and ex-
pect in this way to gain strength. think
the Republicans are going to make clean
sweep in the North. thoroughly believe it.
General Harrison and Mr.. Morton will be
elected. They are growing in strength every
day. The Republicans are receiving aeces-
sions constantly, and, so far as l know, there
are no defections. The issues of the cam
paign are defined. There are many Green
hackers in Michigan who are Protectionists,
and Protectionists are not Democrats this
year. Moses w. Field, one of the leading
Greenbackers. is now making protection
speeches. and there are others, understand,
who will take the stump.
When Gen. Harris0n's Indianapolis friends
were urging him for the Republican nomina-
tion for President, Court e. Whitsett, a
Democrat, who has for several years been
quartermaster of the IndianaIGr Army
Of the Republic, remarked to a group of
friends one day that if Gen. Harrison should
publican ticket his support, but would
pledge the votes of number of
other Democrats. When Harrison was
nominated Mr.. Whitsett joined in the Repub-
lican demonstration and he is now fulfilling
his promise to bring other Democrats over
to the Republican ranks in way that is as
founding the politicians of both parties.
When the organization Of a regiment of Har-
rison Guards was undertaken a few days
ago Mr. Whitsett was made captain of a
company. Il will furnish my own men," he
quietly remarked, ''and they will all be Dem
ocrats." At a meeting of the regimental
officers tonight, he was asked how many
men he had in the company.

A LIVELY NIGHT IN THE COMMONS.
Resumption of the Debate on the
Commission Bill.
Mr.. Gladstone Declares that the
Public Shall Know the Truth.
Harcourt adds Word as to the Ma
ture of the inquiry.

LONDON, Aug. lon the resumption of
the debate in the Commons today, on the
Parnell commission bill, Mr.. Balfour said
that the speech of Mr.. Matthews last night,
iu which he said, "The judges already had
power to select such of the charges as they
deemed worthy of an inquiry" contained
what the government had all along stated.
Mr.. Gladstone said his party would let the
country understand these proceedings, and
that he was justified in concluding that there
must be motive for the way that the letters
were being thrown into the shade.
Mr.. Balfour said that the remarks were.im-
proper, and denied that the government had
altered the bill or changed their position.
Mr.. Reid wanted to inquire into the
charges.
Mr.. Sexton believed the government want
ed outside persons TO fall back on, in case
the charges against members broke down.
Mr.. Matthews said the inquiry was not in
to the conduct of members, as members, but
in their capacity as members Of an outside
organization.
Sir William Harcourt said the opposition
were at last trying to detect the real mean
ing of the bill. 1t now appeared that the
governments object in creating the COM
mission was not to give the Parnellite mem
bers an opportunity to clear themselves of
foul and calumnious charges but to inquire
into political organization. Ii that were
so, why had not the government instituted
the inquiry long ago. The. government,
wishing to escape the responsibility for the
commission, asserted that its formation was
proposed at the instance Of Mr.. Parnell.
Yet the House were now told that its. object
was to inquire into apoltical organization.

ment was rejected,

ures, large and small, which, taken
down from their nails, are laid resting
on the ground leaning against one an

to the wall Then we sec revealed pre-
tense and shabbiness in little; the mean
edgings of wood; the miserable tacks
which keep the thin boarding in its
place; the meager strip of brown paper
pasted round; the cheap bending rings;
the bit of red string; the square of loose
glass; the glue-all making up sort
of ''rickety" combination.
Such are the picture frames of COM
merce-the adornment of every correct
house, and which exhibit painfully their
makeshift character. They are, indeed,
things of shreds and patches; every
principle of sound construction is vio-
lated in their manufacture. The frame
proper, too weak to hold the glass and
blackboard, and being further weakened
by the growing, is kept together at the
corners by glue and n tack, while the
thin boarding of the back is held in its
place by n row of tacks driven under
awkward strokes of the hammer Fin
