portance of still further shielding our peo-
plein their manufacturing and industrial
interests from the blighting touch of our
ancient enemv-the American and Eng
lisb free-traders.
As warning to those who have been
! carried away by the sophistries of polit-
ical montebanks, we reprint the following:
WASHINGTON CITY. April 20, 1S24.-Heaven
smiled upon and gave us liberty and indie
pendence. That same Providence has blessed
us with the means of National independence
and National defense. If We omit or refuse to
use the gifts which he has extended to us we
deserve not the continuation of His blessing
He has filled our mountains and our plains with
minerals-with lead. iron and cOpper-and
given us q climate and soil for the growing of
hemp and wool. These being the great mate
rails of our National defense they ought to
have extended to them adequate protection;
that our manufacturers and laborers may be
placed in a fair competition with those o.:
Europe, and that we have within our country q
supply of those leading and important articles
so essential to Wear l will ask what is the
real situation of the agriculturist? Where has
the American farmer surplus produce? tx
cept for cotton he has neither foreign or q
home market Does not this clearly prove when
there.is no market at home or abroad that there
is too much labor employed in agriculture
Common sense at once points out the remedy
Take from agriculture in the United States 6Q0,-
600 men, women and children and you will at
once give a market for more breadstuffs than
all Europe now furnishes us. In short, Sir, we
have been too long subject to the policy OF
British merchants. 1t is time we should be-
cCme little more Americanized, and, instead
of feeding paupers and laborers of England,
| feed our own, or else in a short time by con-
tinuing our present policy, we shall be rem
dered paupers ourselves. ANDREW JACKSON.
This letter has the true ring in it, aud
was prophetic of the evils resultant from
free trade in those days, and Is equally
applicable at the present time. Notwith-
standing many of the free-traders Of to-
| day pride themselves on their Jackson
Democracy and at the same time repud-
late the fundamental principles of Jack
sonism Were he alive, the cid hero
would scorD the friendship Of such hypo-
critics and denounce them as aiders and
abetters of orr ancient foe, john Bull 1t
is well, therefore, to thoroughly analyze
! the governing motive of the two parties;
which will destroy our manufacturing and
agricultural prospects, and reduce us TO
| the condition of vassals of ravenous,
tvranizing power, or which will rehabili-
tate us as an enlightened and progressive
people. We believe the verdict will be
largely in favor of Harrison and Morton,
and that platform of principles which is
second only in Importance to that pro-
muIgated by our fatners-the glorious
Declaration of Independence-will be the
beacon light to guide our ship of state in
to that harbor of safety-Protection.

to par, and the country brought to the
highest degree of prosperity it ever en-
ioyed. To accomplish these results large
revenue was required and the 80 per cent.
sugar tax has helped to reduce the debt,
and to relieve the people of a vast annual
sum of interest which they would still
have to pay if the debt had not been re-
duced. There yet remains about 81 ,0OO,-
100000 OF war debt to pay, but the time
has arrived when the government can
meet all requirements upon it, and at the
same time reduce its revenues. This is
the reason that the Republicans twenty
years ago kept tax of 80 per cent. on
sugar, but propose to reduce it to Al per
cent. now.
In return for this explanation we hope
The Times will inform us why the Demo.
Gratis. while pretending to wish to reduce
the surplus, and reduce the duties On
necessaries to the lowest practicable point,
insist that the duty on sugar shall be kept
as high as G8 per cent, which is the figure
proposed IN the Mills bill.-Sentinet.

English sympathy.

The very conservative and truthful
London Globe says: GAS rule the pres
idential contest has very little interest for
the Old World. On the present occasion,
however, an issue is involved which very
closely concerns Europe, more particular
ly Great Britain. Mr.. Cleveland has Ia
ken his stand on free trade, and, although
his party managers have considerably
planed down his platform, he is univer-
sally recognized in the states as pledged
to initiate new departure in fiscal policy.
Nor can there be any doubt that he would
act up to this understanding were he
elected.
"The central issue of the contest lies
between the maintenance of the present
fiscal system intact and its modification
in the direction of free trade. And on
that broad question Mr.. Cleveland S can
didature naturally and necessarily car
ries English sympathy"

The State Treasurership.

Whatever doubts may exist as to GER
tain candidates for state officers on the
Republican ticket, none are expressed
over the nomination for state treasurer, it
being conceded that Col Henry B. Har-
shaw, of Winnebago, will be re-nominated
for that responsible position. This is as
it should be, Col. Harshaw having dis
charged the duties of the Office in a mar
ner that has secured for him the conf
dence of the people, as well as emitting
him to further consideration from the Re
publican party of Wisconsin.

ACCORDING to Congressman Caswell's
idea of the condition of the Federal treas
ury, and the claims upon it, if the senate
should mature tariff bill that would cut
off 100000 or $S0,oOO,OOO from COM
ing into the treasury,-and the bill should
become law, and work as anticipated in
lessening the receipts, then instead of our
having the surplus to meet the then due
Indebtedness, we should have to sell new
bonds in 1891, to get the money to pay
our debts.

An Exclamation.

Senator Spooner writes, says The Mil
waukee Sentinel, that the tariff bill like
ly to be tinkered up by the senate will
reduce the price Oh sugar to Al per cent.
This is just one-half of what the duty now
is. The people will wonder why, for TWEEN
ty years, Republican rule permitted a
duty on sugar of 80 per cent.-Oshkosh
Times.
The explanation is easy. Nointelligent
people wonder. For the benefit of such
persons as the editor of The Times, we
briefly elucidate the subject
About twenty seven years ago every
state of this Union which was carried by
the Democratic party the preceding year,
entered into rebellion for the purpose of
destroying the Union because Repub-
lican president had been elected. A war
OF four years duration followed. Ii cost
the lives of hundreds of Thousands OF men
to suppress the rebellion, and left the
country with a debt of over $4,000, OOO,-
600. its commerce destroyed, its industries
in large sections diserganized, and its only
currency deprecated paper. Such was
situation twenty-three years ago.
Since that time, $4,000, 100000 Of the
debt have been paid, the currency lifted

THE Utica Herald says that fourteen
staunch Democrats in the town Of Jerusa-
lem, Yates county, N. Y, have joined the
Harrison and Morton club at that place.
They are wool-growers, and complain that
their unwashed wool brings only Is cents
pound, that the free-trade wool has been
pulled over their eyes long enough, and
that they will stand in the protection
ranks in future.

So IT appears that the negro Democrat
ic convention at indianapolis had its orr
gin in the brain of Pension Commissioner
Black, of Mr. Cleveland's administration.
The call was issued by j. Milton Turner
and the programme was presented by him
but it is found that for several weeks Mr..
Turner has spent good deal of time every
day in Gen. Black room and with Gen.
Blacks fine workers in the pension office.

THERE are more complaints from Dem
ocratic editors now that subscribers do moi
receive their papers regularly than there
ever were under the regime which wa.
credited with holding back Democratic
organs for partisan purposes. Perhaps the
Democratic postmasters are holding back
Democratic papers for party advantage
There would be some sense in that

Claims to be Sane.

Drs. Simmons and Snider, sitting as Com
missione1s in Lunacy, yesterday examined
into the sanity of Mrs. James Perry, whose
husband claims is insane. A few days since
she had her husband arrested for battery,
and he was tried in the Police Court and
discharged, several neighbors testifying to
Mrs. Perry's strange conduct. The hus-
band testified yesterday that she was very
violent at times and destroyed the furni-
| ture in the house. Mrs. Perry made a
statement in her own behalf, asserting thai
her husband wanted TO have her sent TO an
asylum to get rid of her and obtain posses
sion of the property accumulated by her
| labor. She said that Perry went to Ireland
and lived nine years with a woman there,
and produced two letters written by the
woman to him after he returned. He had
come back penniless and she had forgiven
him. They had been married forty five
years, and she claims to have been beaten
by him frequently. She said that now she
wanted separation from him as she
feared he would kill her as he had often
threatened to do. Mrs Perry was allowed
to go, but the Commissioners will examine
other witnesses on Monday morning at
$50, when Judge Armstrong will be present

the company SO well as /" La Tempestad," a
lyric opera, with music of much better
order and finer quality. While affording
no place for Urena, the soprano, who CON
sequently did not appear, it gave Mercedes
Viliasenor opportunity to do a soubrette
part very cleverly, presented the buffo
Sanchez at his best, and gave the tenor
Zozaya fair showing. This afternoon for
matinee performance The Mascot "
Will be repeated. Tonight the company
will appear in lyric opera, never sung
here, - En- Arvillo de Hierra e. The Iron
Ring'O, by MARQUEE V Zapata, with Maria
