THE HOME MARKET,

The farmers are told that the tariff
gives them a home market at high
prices for their products. This has
been an alluring theory. We have
given it a fair trial since 1860, and with
what result?
In 1850, under a low tariff, the eX-
ports of breadStuffs and provisions
from the United States were $4,000, 900.
In 1860 after ten years of low tariff they
were S41,000.00O. In 1861 the country
entered upon the most thorough trial it
has ever made of the theory of pr0tec-
ton. The tariff was made by protection,
and every revision o. it since has been
been made the inspiration of theoretical
prOtectiOniStS. Now have these twenty
seven years of practically unlimited in
diligence in the devices which were to
enable the farmer to get rich by SELL
ing his products at home for European
prices, and which were to relieve him
from foreign competition, done the
good work promised? The farmer
knows how to answer this question.
He knows that there never was a time
when he was more dependent than now
on the foreign market for the sale and
price of his surplus.
The tariff has relieved the manufact-
urerer from the inward reach of Euro
pean competition on the selling price of
what he makes, but the farmer still has
to take price fixed by the competition
of the wheat-grOwers of Russia and
India, and the corn growers of the Dan
| ube. He feels this competition on what
he sells at home, as well as on what he
sells abroad. The farmer finds that
under high tariff the main increase of
population by immigration has not been
of foreign laborers to eat up his clop,
but of foreign farmers to settle on the
free lands, and help gIut the home mar
ket with wheat and corn and hogs at his
expense.
The "home market" theory has not
done what it was agreed it should do,
but exactly the reverse. Not one of the
protection theories that we know of has
done so. The home market theory in
particular has proved to be disastrous
ideality.

the aristoeracy as ever they were. The
desire to kill the ambitious patriot who
comes between the wind and their no
bility is as intense and implacable as in
the times when the genius and loyalty
of EMMETT were shrouded in bloody
grave. The influence which has laid
its ameliorating agency upon the pro-
cedure of the British courts is the
product of democratic principle and
enlightened intelligence among the
masses. Within the last decade new
and powerful factor has arisen in
British politics and legislation. The
hind oppressed into the mire for centu-
ries has lifted his head above his sodden
surroundings. The light of new era
has dawned upon the humble and the
lowly. The feeling that those who earn
wealth should enjoy it; that those who
support the government should receive
some of the benefits it bestOwS, has
zone abroad among the people, and the
first thrills of newborn freedom and
happier possibilities for the future have
tended to curb the naughty inSolence OF
British power, and have taught those
who neither toll nor spin that they may
be on the eve Of an awakening revolu-
ton which shall re-echo the crash of
the first CHARLES'S throne.

a LONG LIFE.

There died the other day on the Pima
reservation in Arizona LEOTA LAVE
DER, a half-breed Indian woman be-
lieved to be 145 years old. She knew in
her infancy some of the founders of the
church of San Xavier del BAG, which is
100 years old. Her traditions OF re-
markable events, stretching across a
chaSm of nearly two centuries, were a
source of wonder to her tribe, and Of
amaZement to the whites who listened
to her narratives. 1t is very rare that
persons in this country live beyond
the limit of three score and ten. Yet
there are some remarkable exceptions
to the rule. If we believe the census
of 1880, there were 4,0l6 people who
had lived over a century.
Some two years ago the demise of q
Cuban lady was announced whose life
had reached the great age of 115 years.
She was the daughter of an old captain
general, and claimed to be familiar with
events that had transpired in the island
100 years before.
sold PARR," who died in England in
1886, was believed to have reached the
age of 80 years. But these are rare in
stances of longevity. and no doubt, in
some of the cases cited, the subjects
owe their romantIc experience in the
lapse of centuries to the Imagination of
those who chronicle their careers.

CHINESE EXCLUSION BILL.

Although the Chinese exclusion bill
which has just passed congress was III
troduced by a Democrat and pushed
through congress under the leadership
of prominent Democrats, it would not
be just to look upon it as partisan
measure. 1t received the support of
both Democrats and Republicans in
both branches of congress, and while
there were no Democratic votes record
ed against the bill in the lower house
of congress, there were some prominent
Democratic senators who did oppose it.
Therefore we are to expect the presi-
dent, i'll considering the question of its
approval, will be entirely Invested
of all partisan feeling or prejudice,
and will govern his action according
to his opinion whether or not the pro-
visions of the bill are in violation of any
of the Stipulations of the existing treaty
between this country and China. There
can be no question about the PROVISIONS
of the bill being in accord with popular
sentiment on the Chinese question.
There is no reason why the Chinese
should not be excluded, while there is
every reason for excluding them. They
are not and never can be a desirable
addition to our population. Nor is there
any question as to what position the
Democratic party occupies on this ques-
ton. 1t is opposed to Chinese immi-
grafton from first to last.
AT the same time there is very grave
question as to the right of congress to
disturb the treaty relations now exist
ing between this country and another
nation without at least first having
made the effort to amend the treaty.
There has arisen a question in the dis
cussiOn of this bill which puts our ma
tional dignity and honor at stake; there
fore the president can not be expected
to act in the matter of approving or
vetoing The measure pntil he has fully
informed himself respecting the prOvis-
ions of the bill, and has had the oppor-
| tunity to determine whether OF not the
nations honor viii be compromised if
tie bill should become law.

MIR. ACKERMANN,s BOLT.

The declination of Mr.. ACKERMANN
to serve on the Republican state COM
mittee is in the nature of a genuine SEN
sation. He assigns as his reason for re-
fusing to accept the appointment of
committeeman that he cannot, consist
emily with his personal sense of honor,
contribute to the election of a candidate
who secured his nomination by corrupt
methods. Mr.. ACKERIANN has always
been Republican, and influential in
the politics of the southern part of the
state. He is also a representative of the
German element in MlnnesOta's popula-
ton, and the courageous stand he has
taken in support of honest political
methods is not only most creditable to
himself, but reflects honor upon the
nationality he represents.

PARNELL AND HIS JUDGES.

The initial meeting of the commission
appointed to investigate the charges
made by the London Times against
PARNELL and his colleagues took place
Monday. Outside of the appointment
of a subcommittee TO proceed to Amer
lea and take testimony in the case, but
little was done. There were prelimi-
nary rules and motions, but nothing of
significance.
The curious feature of this remarka-
BILE case consists in the entire departure
from the usual English methods in deal
ing with Irish agitatOrs. When we look
back over the record of the last hundred
years and note the summary proceed
ings which sent EMMETT to the seat
fold and MITCHELL and O'BRIEN into
exile, we are aStonished at the influence
of those civiliZinga gencies which force
England to curb her malice and restrain
her vengeance within the forms and
rigid principles of law. The march of
public opinion and the spread of that
honest sentiment of fair play so cher
ished by the Anglo-SaXon race, have
compelled the British ministry to treat
PARNELL as human being, instead of
hunting him down as a wild ami
NAL. But it is just to say that
this moderation is in no wise
due to the ministry or ruling classes in
England. The instincts of the wolf
are just as remorSeless in the hearts of

THE BRIDE OLA CoACHMAN.
Strange Marriage of Annie Rider,
Providence, II. L., Belle.

Providence, r.. L., Belle.
PROVIDENCE, R. l., Sept. 1S.-The
marriage of Miss Annie Rider, daughter
of Sydney Rider, the well-known book
publisher, to a cOachman here, has
created social sensation. The cere-
mony was performed, it seems. last
April, but only last week was 1t known
to the young Woman'S parents. Miss
Rider is handsome young woman and
has always been popular i'll the social
circles i'll which she was known on the
West side. She was the patentee of a
''blue flame" firewood, which caused
much talk at the hearthStOneS of fash
i0nable folks here last winter, and she
had for her financial hacker DR.. Radke.
The young woman was enterpriSing
and factory was started at New Bed
ford, where the peculiar illuminated
tireWOod was made. DR.. Radke'S coach
man, William Howard Morgan, had
many missions between Miss Rider and
DR.. Radke. Thus he came in contact
with Miss Rider good deal, and in time
he learned the secret of ''blue flame"
wood. He also learned to like Miss
Rider, and the acquaintance ripened
into love. Since the marriage Miss
Rider has been living at home, but now
she asserts her determination to go with
her husband and publicly announce
her marriage. The Rider family is
greatly disturbed. Miss Rider, who is
twenty-five years of age, is highly edu-
Gated, and at one time she was engaged
to United States naval officer, who
met his death on a warship at New Or
leans about three years ago. Morgan
is understood Englishman, twenty
four years old, and a year ana half
ago he reached this city, walking a part
of the way from New York.

LONDON, Sept. 19.--JOhn Dillon has
been released from the Dundalk Jail.
His release hid no connection with the
action of Tie Parnell commission. The
Marquis of Londonderry, lord lieuten-
ant of Ireland, Gil account of the medi-
cal report on the state of Mr.. DillOn's
health, granted him an unconditional
release. The full term of his imprison-
ment would not have expired until the
end of the year. On his arrival at Dub
lin this afternoon, he was met by host
of friends, who greeted him very
warmly. Among those i'm waiting to re-
ceive him were MeSsrs. Thomas Saxton,
William O'Brien, T. ID. Sullivan, Peter
Mcdonald and Joseph Edward Ken
nedy. Mr.. Dillon is much thinner and
paIer than when sent to prison, and is
obviously i'll.
At 10 o'clock this evening Mr.. Dillon
addressed a crowd outside his house.
He thanked those present for their
kindly welcome. He explained that he
had been released without conditions
and with negotiations of any kind. He
said he intended to apply himself to the
struggle in behalf of Ireland more dill
gently than ever. Mr.. Dillon will seek
to recruit his health at Ballybrack,

MIR. RICE,S VICTIM

Like lamb led to the slaughter, Capt.
SNIDER was nominated at Anoka yes
terday as the Republican candidate for
congress. The refusal of the conven-
ton to nominate Judge REA was a con-
fession by the Republicans that they
have no show for carrying the dis
trict, for if there had been a fighting
chance the Republicans could not have
afforded to have given so available a
man as Judge REA the gO-by. Capt.
SNYDER is a nice young man, whose
only qualification for office is the posses
sion of barrel, which, in Republican
estimation, discounts brains and merit.
1t does seem that the bosses would pre-
fer to go down in inglorious defeat with
a candidate representing the silk stock
ing element than to climb to victory
under the leadership of a candidate
who is the representative of the COM
mon people.

TROUBLE OVER A KISS.
A Minister on Trial on a Peculiar
Charge.

LIvERMoRE. KY, Sept. 18.-Church
circles in this place have been in state
of excitement over sensation in which
a Methodist minister, Charles W. Hall,
and Miss May, pretty young member
of his congregation, figured as the prin-
cipal parties. The young woman
charged the minister with having forci-
bly, Rugged and kissed her. The dis
trict conference was held yesterday.
and Rev. Mr.. Hall was tried. The trial
was held with closed doors. Miss May,
when placed upon the stand. gave
straightforward story, which was to the
effect that Mr.. Hall had on one occasion
kissed her sister without the latter's
consent while she and her mother were
watching. and being unprotected they
could do nothing. As to her own affair
she said when they happened to be
alone together with no one in sight he
had seized her in his arms and kissed
her squarely upon her lips. She spurned
HIM from her and struck him blow
upon the nose. During the examina-
ton Mr.. Hall asked her if he had made
any improper proposals to her, to which
she answered he had not, or he would
have Jared worse. Mr.. Hall, when put
upon the stand, denied the charges
against him. After the argument of
the counsel, vote was taken which re-
suited in favor of the minister.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-At the Dem
ocratic caucus tonight Mr.. Oates, of
Alabama, offered resolution authoriz-
ing the speaker of the house and the
presiding officer of the senate to declare
both houses adjourned at noon
Oct. /. Mr.. Oates said that
thought that it would be good policy
to pass the resolution, as the
responsibility for the failure to reduce
surplus taxation would be thrown upon
the senate. Mr. I ownshend, of Illinois,
moved to amend so as to adjourn Sept.
81. The senate might then amend by
naming Oct l. In the course of his re-
marke he said that the Republicans
were making strenuous efforts to carry
the next house, because they knew if
Harrison was elected he would be DOW
erless without the house at his back.
Mr.. Springer offered an amendment
providing that after Saturday next all
leaves of absence asked for be granted,
and meantime that no business be
transacted save the reading of the
journal. If the senate passed q tariff
bill, leaves of absence should be re-
called. He was opposed to the Oates
resolution. If he was Republican

Mr.. SOwden, of Pennsylvania, said that
all the propositions should be voted
down. as they would prove injurious to

but a Democrat. Mr.. McCreary, of
Kentucky, favored the resolution.
The house had done its duty
in passing a bill to reduce tax

shire, thought it was suicide for
the Democrats to propose adjournment.
Many other members spoke for and
against the resolution. Mr.. Holman
moved that the cauens adjourn without
day. This was carried by a yea and
nay vote, and the caucus at 10 O'Clock
stood adjourned. Less than hundred
members were present.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-NewS comes
from Europe that Senator Stanford, who
has been there for some time, is the vic
tim of an extraordinary disease. He
cannot sleep when he wants to, and he
cannot keep awake when he wants to.
He can hardly ever be said to be awake,
and hardly ever asleep, but perpetually
oscillating between the two conditions.
He does not sleep more than minute
or two at time, if we may call it sleep
(somnambulism might be nearer cor
rect, and his eyes do not remain open
or his senses active for more than the
same length of time at stretch. He is
never allowed to walk alone. for. if he
tried it, he would be sure to fall, the
somnolence coming upon him without
notice. Sticking pins in him is no use;
he dozes off, notwithstanding. If he
starts to talk with you he may get
through with few sentences and then
be cut off in the midst Of an unfinished
word, but when he awakenS to con-
seriousness again he has the knack of
taking up the talk precisely where he
left off. To use printers phrase, his
sleeping, his walking, his talking and
his thinking are all done in very "short
takes.n But he has no pain.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-James Lang
don Curtis has written his letter of &C
ceptance of the nomination for presi-
dent rendered him by the National
American party. Mr.. Curtis approves
the platform of the party, adopted by
its convention at Washington a month
ago, and his letter consists of arguments
and declarations in support thereof. The
ideas favored are; Restricted immigra-
ton with 800 tax upon each immi-
grant; twenty-One years. residence as
qualification for voting; preservation of
public lands for actual settlers; estaD-
lishment of technical and industrial
schools; abolition of trusts; no display
of any flag except of the American
states and nation; government savings
banks; the restoration of American
shipping; participation of business men
in public affairs in place of politicians,
and the substitution of arbitration
for force in settling international dis
putes. Mr.. Curtis declares that none of
the old parties are truly national; all
are partial. The American party alone
can furnish common ground of politi-
cal action
