The Mills bill has occupied the attention
Of the House ffty-one days. The time has
not been spent unproftably, however. The
discussion has clearly disclosed the purposes
OF the Democrats and has prevented them
from successfully covering up their real in
tentions if they succeed in carrying the
country this fall. There no longer exists
any doubt but that they mean to destroy the
protection system and establish free trade al
soon as circumstances permit.

Cleveland's Mugwump friends are seeking
to defeat the denomination of Gov. Hill in
New York, and the New York Times asserts
that Cleveland himself would like to see Hill
defeated. Hills grip, however, on the De-
mocracy of New York is very strong. But If
the President should succeed in defeating
his nomination Hills retainers would surely
knife the Presidential ticket in November.
1t is claimed that Cleveland doesn't like the
record Hill has made, but as he found no

The next grand pow-wow of the Democ-
racy is to be held in Bangor under the imme-
date auspices of Brother Bass. The Demo-
cratic nominees for Congress ought to be
given chance to air them elves at this
gathering. They were shabby treated at
the Portland meeting. The name of not a
single one of them, not evea Of the Hon.
William Emery, who sat on the platform
was mentioned. All these Democratic can
didates can get any way is little applause
and fattery at Democratic meetings, and it
Is very, very shabby to deprive them of that.

Mr. Reeds arraignment of the Democratic
members of the ways and means committee
was severe, but just. The Mills bill is not
an economic measure. 1t is political and
geographical" bill,-that is the tariff is so
revised by it as to favor particular sections,
sections in which the Democratic party is the
controlling party. 1t is, as Mr. Reed said
using the laws to help along particular
party-a most shameless and outrageous
performance. Yet to the charges of Mr.
Reed not single Democrat raised his voice
in reply. They confessed by their silence
that the charges were true and that the Mills
bill did just what Mr.. Reed said it did.
Their policy of silence was doubtless the best
under the circumstances, for the evidence
which the items of the bill furnish is con-
elusive of the truth of Mr. Reeds assertions.
observe the difference between the treat
ment OF the Northern and the Southern
farmers in that measure. The vegetables of
the Northern farmer are put on the free list
and exposed to the competition of the
Canadian farmer over the border. The
rice of the Southern farmer is pro-
tected by a duty of over 100 per cent.
while the sugar of the Southern farmer is
protected by over 60 per cent Never was a
more unfair and indefensible piece of legis-
laton forced through an American House of
Representatives.

Gov. Hill has called the New York Legisla-

the respectable part of which he alenated
by vetoing the ballot reform bill. There is
move on the part of some labor organiza-
tions to modify the conspiracy laws so they
will not cover boycotting, and in his message
to the Legislature Hill has skillfully con-
trlved to have the appearance of favoring
this modification without actually commit
ting himself to it. If Hill can add to the
rum vote, which is already his by reason of
his yctoes of the high license bill, the labor
vote, without alternating too much of the
other Votes" he thinks he can compel the
Democratic convention to nominate him

have all the elements of the demagogue.

Hymns and Tunes. Music composed and
adapted by George William Warren. The
hymns in this volume are well known hymns
by Bishop Heber, DIR. j. M. Neale, James
Montgomery, Samuel Stennett, Anne Steele,
Dr. S. Barring Gould, Bishop Wordsworth
and other poets of the church. The interest
OF the collection, however. consists in the
fact that the music that accompanies these
hymns is furnished by Mr.. Warren, or COM
posed and adapted by him for use at st.
Thomas's church, New York. The charac-
ter of the music in this church, under Mr..
Warren's direction has been commended in
the highest degree, and choir leaders in 9TH

Principles of Economic Philosophy. BY
Van Buried Denslow, LII. D. Political
Economy has beer called the Dismal
Science. But the readers of this volume
viii regard it as something very different as
treated by the author. In his hands it be-
comes an exceedingly interesting study of
the great principles which constitute and
govern human societies and States. The
work has several special features which
commend 1t to all classes. 1t gives brief,
but clear outline of the origin and history of
the Science, with an exposition of leading
authors and their theories. All the subjects
proper to such book are taken up and dis
cussed from different standpoints, and the
arguments for and against each theory are
fairly stated. There is scarcely dull sem
tence in the volume. The author evidently
fayors the theory of Protection, and is able
to give his reasons for doing so. On this
subject an epitome of several chapters.
would do excellent service in the present
political campaign. 1t is much to be desired
that works of a scientific character like this
should be in the hands of and read by all our
people. But as this is too much to expect.
the next best thing would be for the author
or some one else, to condense or select from
them such portions as bear most directly on
the welfare and growth of the country. OF
all the volumes relating to our material pro-
gress, we know of none equal to this in inter-
est, ability and adaptation to general useful.
