The President accompanied the treaty
with a message, in which he details the his

treaty O submitted to you has been
framed in a spirit Of liberal equity and re.

mutual advantage and convenience are the

friendship between States. and that with
the adoption OF the agreement now laid

British plenipotentiaries to secure kindly
and peaceful relations during the period
that may be required for the consideration

within a few days, in accordance with their
metz DDS OF conducting public business,
submit the treaty to their respective legis-
latures when it will be at once published
to the world. In view of such action
it appears to be Advisable that
by publication here early and
full knowledge of all that has been
done in the premises should be afforded
our people. 1t would also seem to be use
full to inform the popular mind concerning
the history of the long continued disputes
out OF the subject embodied in the

our people with the present status of
the question involved and to give

suggest that the said treaty and all such !

THE IMMORTALITY OF PRoTECTIuN.-
There Is a moral side to the tariff
question that Is not emphasized strong
~ enough. Granting that protection
does all that It's most Jealous advocates
..llm Tor lt-that il builds W man
ltntnr,s, Universities industries,
creates a home market" makes high
wages and enables our manufactur-
rrs to pay over high wages grant
Ing all this the question comes back
To us. has this or any government the
right to take money from one man
and give It 70 another 1t Is not Il
question o. maIOritles. No matter
how large the vote III favor Of robbing
a man, the robbery Is not right nor
does the victim take II more kindly
because Of the majority vote. This
Is Just what protection ls-robbery.
All intelligent high tariff men admit
that we have TO pay little higher
from 10 10 lO0 per cent-for many
things bat that We can afford TO do
so, because il Is such tine thing to
have home market, diversified in
dustrles &, The laborer has to pay
more for hra shirt, hat, shoes. blank
cts, shovel, for his sugar, salt, for his
crockcry. hardware, and many other
things. q, yes, this i all true but
then his Nages are so large. Passing
over the truth that he pays out in
increased prices more than he gets
from this imaginary increase in wages,
the question i, Is II right to take
money from she wage-workers and
give il 10 the monopolist capitalist
l. robbery right because the victim
can stand the loss Is robbery right
because it Is accomplished in so deft
fashion, that the victim is not aware
that the thief Is going through him.
Can the highwayman who exacted

have the legal. and perhaps the moral,

for a nation TO force one Of its citizens
TO pay tribute to another, is the height
OF tyranny, and like all tyranny, it is
bound 20 be overthrowu, Just As peo-

DEMOCRACY AND LABoR.-The Dem
ocratic party, by its representatives in
Congress, has placed itself in full sym.
Pathy with the agricultural and labor
clements OF the country. Though the
Committee on Agriculture, and by and
through the indomitable energy of its
chairman, VIM. II. Hatch, Of Missou-
ri, 1t has passed bill making the De-
partment OF Agriculture an executive
department, raising it to the dignity
OF the first department Of the Govern.
ment. Through the Committee Of La.
Dor and the answering fidelity of its
chairman, Hon. Jno. J. G. Neil, also
Of Missouri, It has made the Bureau
Of Labor an independent department,
and will, It is expected, before the ex.
piration OF the present Congress raise
II to the dignity of an executive de.
partment. This was the work Of the
Democratic party in the interest OF
the great laboring classes of the coun-
try, and these classes are wise enough
to know and stand by the party that
stands by them. During the many
years Of Republican control no such
measures were enacted into laws, il
even formulated.

Corwin's epigrammatic sayings can be
relied on. Corwin was doomed oace
to listen for two hours to an effort in
behalf of . protective tariff. When
the orator ended, the late William
Green rushed at the then Governor
