that the tariff duty did not increase the
cost OF an article he regarded as too ridic-
ulous to discuss. He wac opposed to
the present system Of protection, and he
regretted the pending bill preserved every
single feature of that system. But the
principles OF protection were fastened on
the country, and all that could be hoped
for to-day-and all that the bill sought to
accomplish-was the reduction of the
amount of taxation collected by the
Government and put into the Treas
ury. The protective system had
been conceived in greed and avarice

The Unrestra,ned Power of the Press

CHICAGO. Jan. Elm addressing the Jackson
Club, to-night, Judge w. c. Goudey spoke on
tne supremacy of the law, but most of his re
ing. that restraint and regulation are
applied to nearly every person and pursuit
in life, Mr.. Goudey said, ''But there is one mo-
table exception. The greatest power in civilized
society to-day is that of the press and it is prac
tically unrestrained and free from regulation by
law. This forcs makes and unmakes Presidents
Governors. Senators, Representatives in Con-
grefs, legislatures, judges and all officers IN our
complex system of government It is superior
to the executive, legislative and judicial author
tiles. because it creates and destroys them. By
the same means it enacts and enforces or de-
feats laws. Private reputation and private
property depend upon this Unreasonable force.
In short, the influence of the daily and weekly
newspapers and monthly periodicals is omnipo-
tent and omnipresent This power. however, is
potent for good evil Who exercises this
immense power! The press-the newspapers.
But that is wholly impersonal. and there lies the
danger. The writer may be Governor Hawley.
who represents his State in the United States
Senate, or the boy just out of college earning his
$40 per week. There may even be apparent edi-
torial articles, but in fact written to further
corrupt scheme. for which ST. line is
paid" AS remedy Cor these alleged evils Mr..
Goudey advised the enactment of q statute
which would require that the name of the writer
of every article be it editorial, communication
or news, be given with it.

CURED BY FAITK.-Referring to the great
number of cures which have been effected
this year at Ste. Anne de Beaupre, province
of Quebec, L'Etendard of Montreal says that
at least three took place during the recent
pilgrimage of the Catholics of Redford, n.
Y, to that place. The mother of the Rev.
Father Charleowneau, of Lyon Mountain,
who for nearly year could neither walk
nor use her hands-her limbs being para
lyzed-af.er receiving communion at the
shrine walked back to the boat and gained
complete control of her arms and bands.
Mrs. E. VieDs, of the same place, had been
told by her physicians that che would never
be able to walk. However, after honoring
the relics of the saint. she was able TO dis.
card her crutches aud go back to her pew
unaided, and has been able TO walk ever
since. A young lady Of Malone, whose
name is not given, had tumor in one fher
feet, completely deDriyng her of the use OF
her foot After her devotions at the shrine
the swelling and pain commenced abating
and she is now completely restored to health.
