OUR progress toward a wise conclusion
will not be improved by dwelling upon
the theories of protection and free-trade.
This savors too much of bandying epithets.
1t is a condition which cOnlrontS us, not a
theory. Relief from this condition may
involve a slight reduction of the advant
ages which we award our home prOduc
tions, but the entire w~ithirawal'of such
advantages should not be contemplated.
The question Of free trads is absolutely
irrelevant; and the persistent claim made
in certain quarters that all efforts to re-
lieye the people from unjust aud unneess-
sary taxation are schemes OF so-called fret-
traders is miSchievOus and far removed
from any consideration for the public
good.-PresidsRt ClersiaRd.

spend the holidays He passed away peace
fully, surrounded by his family and near rela-
tives Mrs. Manning received many tender
kilograms of coincidence, including the fol-
lowing from the President:
Though in this hour OF unutterable grief your
sorrow is too sacred to be shared and too deep
to be reached by earthly comfort, may express
to you my sincere and tender sympathy, sad
dened by my own affection at the loss of true
and trusted friend and a loyal associate, who
but lately stood at my side in the discharge,
with patriotic zeal, OF solemn public duty.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
The President caused an order to be issued
directing that the flags on all public buildings
in Washington be placed at half-mast as
mark of respect TO the memory of his dead
ex- Minister.
Mr. Manning was born in Albany, N. Y, Aug.
and Dutch extraction. He was poor boy, and
his early opportunities for schooling were very
limited. At ii years OF age he went to work as
m of1ice-boy at the establishment OF the Albany
atlas, which was nfterward merged into the
Albany Argus, with which paper he was, in one
capacity or another connected until his appoint
ment by President Cleveland as Secretary Of the
Treasury. IL 1873 he assumed sole charge OF
the Argus and was elected President

for President. He was also member of the
New York Democratic State Committee since

was elected Chairman in 1881. He was warmly
interested in the nomination OF Mr.. Cleveland
for President ut Chicago. Several months ago

from the Cabinet. Mr.. Manning was active and
successful outside of journalism and politics.
THE funeral ceremonies over the body of
the late ex-Secretary Daniel Manning were
held at Albany December %, and it was
placed in the mortuary chapel of the Rural
Cemetery to await interment in the family lot

the dead statesman, and in accordance with
the Mayors request business was suspended
during the time Of the funeral. The Presi-
dent all the members of the Cabinet, and
many other prominent people were present.
