Rum, Romanism and Rebellion

Mr.. Burchard, who made himself
notorious by uttering the above ALTER
alton at reception given to Mr.. Blaine
ut the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York
city in 1884, was recently interviewed
by newspaper reporter. The follow
ing is the substance Of the published
report of the interview:
Il have always been Republican.
Before the Republican party was formed
was an old line whig, but as soon as
the Republican party came into exiS-
tenCe Joined its ranks. | scarcely
know what is meant by change Of
heart in politics, but may say that SO
FAR as my political principles are con-
cerned that they are about the same rs
they always were.
Il have been attacked by Democrats
and Republicans alike on the score Of
this very brief speech Of mine. Ii my
words had any influence on the election
ut all, and if they helped to put dem
ocratic president in the white house, |
do not quite see why the democrats
should SO bitterly complain OF ME;
and SO far as the republicans are con
cerned the three words which | made
use OF at the time certainly embodied
the gist OF all their attacks on the
democratic party and formed basis
of all the campaign utterances OF their
most eloquent and celebrated speakers,
from Mr. Blaine away down the line to
the most obscure stump orator speak
ing his way through the rural districts.
| understand now that Mr.. Blaine had
been indutriously catering for the
Roman Catholic vote. but l knew very
little then about practical politics, and
| know very little now. II | had I'M
derstood the situation do not know
how would have been influenced"
Have you said, DR.. Burchard, that
YOU regard President Cleyeland's ad
ministration rs blessing 10 the country
and that his election was in some sort
providentialg''
Il say this: God sits enthroned, and
in his wisdom he saw. evidently, that
a change of administration in this
country was desirable, and to bring
about this result He condescended to
use in me the humblest and feeblest
instrument to work his divine will
Considering all the circumstances in
the case, can not now help regarding
Mr.. Cleveland as president of the
United States to-day by the direct APP
pointment of God"

The following from The Lacrosse
Chronicle is sound, vigorous and sea
sonable;
If there is any class of American
citizens that need subsidies, it is the
farmers of the northwest. In large
sections the drought destroyed most of
their crop and what they have left
commands very low price. Still the
heavy hand of taxation has not been
lifted from their necks, and while they
are freezing by the hundreds, the tariff
tax on fuel and lumber continues, and
wool men are asking congress to in
crease the enormous high tax on
woollens. The robber tariff is not only
stealing from the farmer his earnings,
but is practically stripping him stark
naked with the temperature fifty de
grees below zero. Go on, gentlemen,
with your farmers funeral procession,
if You think there is no hereafter.

After few words, the stately Mr. BuSls-

rubbing his hands with increased, but sou

"Now you are going into the future

prophet, for which | scarcely feel my

| Whether or not l should vote for Mr.

Referring to the speech you made
at the reception given to Mr.. Blaine al
the Fifth Avenue hotel, it has been
stated that you carefully prepared the
speech, had conned the ALTERATION

Mr.. Blaine explains the fact that he
did not take you up on the ALTERATION
and make some exception to it as not
meeting with his appreciation by saving
! that he really did not hear what you

Il have not seen that statement

In an article headed A Substitute
for Coal Wanted" The Darlington
Republican of last week says:
The supply OF anthracite coal is
practically exhaustless and the welfare
Of the country depends to an enOr-
nous extent on the price Of this coal
1t il also contained in comparatively
small district in Pennsylvania and the
combination between mine owners is
easily made. The benefit of cheaper
coal would be incalcuable, effecting
every one Of the G0,OOO,O0O Of people
in the United States; and cheaper fuel
would still leave the mine owners with
reasonable profit.
Now, this statement of the case is
in the main correct and all well
enough in itself; but to supplement it,
as The Republican does, with the asser-
ton, made in all soberness, that a sub
stitute superior to coal in the produc-
ton OF light and heat will doubtless
soon be manufactured from water, is
imposing little too much upon
suffering public especially with the
thermometer ranging between thirty
and forty degrees below zero. Appear
ing as it does, in paper that advo-
Gates the maintenance OF our present
outrageous tariff laws, the article is
rendered most strikingly absurd.
The price of coal is very serious
matter to thousands Of poor families
throughout the northwest this biting
cold winter What untold misery an
abundant supply would have alleviated
in the prairie homes Of Minnesota,
Dakota and Nebraska during the pres
ent month Between the tiresides of
the land and cheap and abundant coal
there exists no natural barrier only
the strong arm of the law, which en-
courages and protects the wealthy mine
owners in robbing the consumers Of
coal 1t is the tariff tax That has bred
and nourished the coal monopoly,
which grows strong and prospers ex-
ceedingly AZ the wintry blast pinches
and freezes the poor. How blinded by
partisan prejudice must be the man
who fails to realize that tax SO bur
densome is disgrace to free America
and should at once be removed by
Legislative enactment; but on the other
hand catches ut some foolish and Wis
ionary scheme Of abstracting heat
and light producing substance from
water For shame, Monahan, Throw
Of the party idolatry which blinds your
better judgement, take your political
bearings anew, in the light of 1888,
aud Join the constantly increasing
army Of reformers, who demand re-
ident Clevelaud's message. Such
revision would not only bring cheaper
fuel, but also cheaper and better cloth
inc and cheaper lumber all of which
are of prime necessity to the people of
the northwest. Not only would it
cheaper the cost of many articles of
consumption; but through the adoption
Of II rational commercial policy would
cause = greater demand and better
prices for American farm products
It behoovcs all good citizens to lay
aside party predjudices and demand a
revision and reduction of our tariff
laws in this year Of grace 1888
