the Republic to see for himself the
condition and recompense of labor in
Europe the party of free trade in the
United States would not receive the
support of one wage worker between
the two oceans. 1t may not be di-
rectly in our power as philanthropists
to elevate the European laborer, but
it will be lasting stigma upon our
craftsmanship if we permit the
American laborer to- be forced down
to the European level. And in the
end the rewards of labor everywhere
will be advanced if we steadily refuse
to lower the standard at home.
Yours very sincerely,

True Patriotism.

NEW ORLEANS. May 26.-General
Gibson, reelected United States
Senator, was invited to address the
legislature, and he did so. In the
course of his remarks he said: "There
never was people, who, by the heat
of a tremendous civil conflict, were
80 fused together as the people of the
United States. 1t is true that here
and there is to be found a mana
camp follower during the war, per-
haps, or a demagogue-some man
brave in bravado, some man who
never wore a uniform or carried a
musket, who would make you be-

--bent on humiliating the people of the
south and that they distrust and de-

not true. The people of the Northern
States, in my judgment, are anxious

of the South as their fellow country

ANYTHING in my public career to bring

true that the constitution has been
changed, and that slavery has been
abolished in the organic law of the

SATURDAY, JUNE 2. 1888.

Here is but one of many indications
of what the passage of the Mills bill
will do. Fearing that it will become
a law, the RoottKnit goods manufac-
turing company, of Cohoes, New
York, has sent an agent to Germany
with a view to purchasing site for a
mill in that country and removing
their business there, as it would be
impracticable to continue in business
here. The company employs 500 per-
sons, with a monthly pay roll of
$4,000,

T1nkering the Tariff in Caucus.

The Democratic party set out to
devise tariff that should raise no
more revenue than is required by
"the wants of the Government eco
nomically administered" They were
going to hew right down to the rev.
enue point, on the strict and straight
line of "reyenue REFORM"
When they got to work they dealt
gently with sugar and rice, for both
of these commodities, though highly
protected, represent Democratic votes
and Democratic votes had to be had.
So it went on, until, in one way and
another, bill of most striking in
consistency with itself and with the
professions of the Democratic party
was prepared. Then it was held up
to the admiring gaze of rock-ribbed
Democrats, who declared it to be the
zone thing altogether lovely"
Now that the bill has been done
over in the democratic caucus the
faithful are expected to say once
more that the bill is just as perfect as
eyer-quite as perfect as it was before
the Democratic caucus pulled itseven
ways from Sunday. They have
knocked out the readjusted duty on
soft steel made at the urgent request
of the steel men of Wheeling and of
others similarly situated they took
off and put on the free list according
to demand backed by threats. The
only principle held in view was the
principle of getting votes for the bill
in some shape.
The industries of the country and
every interest dependent upon them
! arc completely at the mercy of the
/ necessities of the Democratic party,
which must pass a tariff bill of some
sort or 60 to the wall. 1t will go to
the wall any how if the people of the
United States have any regard for
their bread and butter Wheeling

Sheridan's Longest Speech.

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, May N.-The
longest speech ever delivered by Cen
ersl Sheridan will be printed to-
morrow in the Times, giving 1t, 80
far as kown, the first publication
other than merely local one. The
speeeh was made at the Creston re-
union of the veterans of Southwest
Iowa and Northwest Missouri. There
were at least ten thousand veterans
present, in addition to thousands of
other persons. The enthusiasm for
Sheridan was overwhelming, and,
contrary to custom, he at last yielded
to the opportunities of the veterans
and made speech that went direct
to every old soldiers heart. 1t was
wholly impromtu and characteristic.
Fortunately first-class stenographer
was present and took down verbatim
as follows the words of"Little Phil :"
"Comrades, came here to-day to see
you, and talk with you, and shake
hands with you, while Colonel Carr
and others, you know, came here to
make eloquent addresses for you to

debted to the priyates in the RANKS
for all this credit that has come to
me. Applause, long and continued.
He was the man who did the fight
ing, and the man who carried the
musket is the greatest hero of the
war. in my opinion. 1 was nothing
but an agent. I knew how to take
care of men. | knew what a soldier
was worth, and l knew how to study
the country so as to put him in right.
l knew how to rut him in battle
when one occurred, but l was simply
the agent to take care of him and he
did the work. Now comrades, these
are common.sense things, and l can't
say them in very flowery language,
but they are true, nevertheless and
they are true not of me alone, but of
everybody else. 1t is to the common
soldier that we are indebted to any
credit to US. Now 1 am glad to see
you here today, gentlemen. and 1
am glad to be with you on this occa-
sion. There are many men here to-
day who served in the field with me,
! and it is great pleasure to me to
ind them out, and they have been
very kindly in their remarks to me.
While they were with me certainly
did all l could for them. l often lay
awake planning for their welfare, and
l meyer killed a man unnecessarily
One great trouble with men who
command troops is that they kill
men unnecessarily. You may kill as
many men as you choose if you give
them an equivalent for the loss. Men
do not like to be killed for nothing
they do not like to have their heads
rammed against stone wall unless
for some good results. These are the
points l made during the war
Whenever l took men into battle
l gave them victory as the result o.
the engagement, and that was always
satisfactory"

A serious difference has arisen
between pOstmasters and steam
boat mail clerks regarding the de-
livery of the mail, postmasters re-
fusing to go to the boat; and on
the other hand mail clerks refuse
to deliver it elsewhere than the
landing. So yesterday the boat
mail for this place was not deliy-
cred. Our postmaster claims, and
with reason, that he cannot close
the Office and go off after the mail,
unless the department will furnish
a clerk. We hope the matter
may be quickly settled, as the
mail is no benefit unless it be de.
livered.-CliftOn Times.
