Mr.. Turpie, United States Senator from
Indiana on Monday. during his discussion
of the Presidents Message, took occasion
to portray his predecessor in the Senate,
Gen. Harrison, in the following manner;
"The candidate of the Chicago conyen-
ton was a well-beloved and chosen repre-
sentative of the rank and lawless growth of
incorporated power He (the candidate)
would faithfully befriend, protect and en-
courage American industries by the highest,
most prohibitory and unnecessary restric-
tons, and by the permitted immigration OF
the Chinaman. Although he was man of
no inconsiderate capacity, of great mental
force and acumen, he had that which was
not often found with such qualties-a harsh
intolerance, which treated dissent as idiocy.
Deeply touched and tinged with the preju-
dices of an exclusive class aristocracy, he
belonged to that group of reactionary states
men, traditional paternalists, whom the
people had so often rejected, and would re-
iect again"

Mr.. Il. f. Gould, leading Knight of La
Dor at indianapolis, tells why the laboring
men are hostile to Harrison. He says
"Harrisou's record in the United States
Senate is somewhat a blank, but wherever
opportunity offered his personal influence
was used in the interest of monopoly, while
be himself usually lodged the issue.
"Wheu the Chinese restriction bill first
came before the Seuste be spoke against it.
When &c came to a vote hecowardly lodged
it. ], passed the Senate, however, and was
vetoed by the President. Subsequently it
came TO another vote with a view of passing
ing 80 over the Presidents head. In this
case Mr.. Harrison voted to sustain the veto.
Later ON, during the same session of Con-
crs-s. the same bin was again introduced,
except chat the prohibition of Chinese emil
grafton was restricted for ten years instead
of twenty. as in the original. On that Oc-
ca,i0u Mr. Harrison voted against the bill
restricting Chinese emigration. In defend
ing bis position upon this subject among
his Republican associates at Indianapolis
he argued that the Chinese ought to be en-
frauchised, and if the Republican party
would DO this it would give them the Chi
uese vote Then by allowing unrestricted
emigration from China the party could pop
ulate America with Chinese votes to suit
any emergency so long as they were true to
the party that granted them the right Of
suffrage.
pending The railroad strike of 1877, on
which occasion he implored the Governor
TO order out the troops and shoot down the
strikers. Gov. Williams stoutly resisted his
influence, claiming that the men were peace
able and that there was mo- necessity for
such action. At this he mustered up a
company of li, own and drilled the men,
SD as To- have them in readiness in case of
am emergency. Upon the same occasion
he made a speech from which the following

perly adjusted tariff tax which shall do the
least harm to domestic industries, yet they
have the impudence to denounce us as free

exclusion of all competition with home
made products, which means the right to
charge this people whatever they please Tor
whatever they make, that the people must
have. The American people are not fools.
They know that no foreigner pays dollar
of our tariff taxation. The President very
clearly shows that the American consumer
not only pays every dollar of the tariff tax
imposed on goods imported, but he pays
price equal TO the foreign price, with the
tariff tax added, on all similar goods manu-
featured in this country; and as seven
eighths, on an average, of all such goods
are made at home and only one-eighth i'm
ported, the Government, which collects only
the tax ON goods imported, gets but one
eighth of the FAX, while Congress requires
an American consumers to pay the other
seven-eighths to their protected pets, many
members of both houses Of Congress being
among the beuefciaries and they patriot
ically call that protecting American history.

NO INSURANCE.
The Inhabitants Of Hull Obliged to Car.
ry their Own Risks.

OTTAWA, Ont, Jniy II. 5
The residents of Hull, town of ten thou
sand population, situated opposite Ottawa on
the Ottawa river, are greatly excited over
the announcement that all leading fire insur-
snce companies will take no further RISKS
there after the expiration of existing poll
cies.
Hull has always been regarded a. one of
the most dangerous risks in the Dominion,
and within six years has three times been
nearly wiped out of existence by fire. Ow-
ing TO the inf1smmable nature of the material
of the uillings, the millions of feet of lum-
her piled about the suburbs of the town, and
the worthless water works system, a FIRE
once started has to run its course. Among
the American companies who have given no.
tice of their intention to with lraw their busi-
ness from Hull, are the Etna and Ph9nif
of Hartford.
Property holders are greatly alarmed at
the prospect of having to carry their own
risks, AMI an effort is being made to get 9th
er American companies who have not already
been bitten, to enter the field
