Professionalism.

Our esteemed cotempOrary, the
Republican Gazette this week is
suffering with another severe at
tack of the protection malady and
his rawlings during the paroXysms
is pitiful to the last degree.
During this attack he appears to
be impressed with the idea that
our farmers are to be ruined by a
revision of the tariff. He raves as
follows:1
"Even with our vast territory, yielding
bounteous crops, as a matter of fact we could
not compete in Great Britain, under "a system
of free trade. with the grain growing regions
of Poland, Russia and Germany. Their near
proximity to the British market and the ad-
vantage of cheap labor, would place us at n
disadvantage. The effect of free trade in this
particular, would then he torcduce the price
of our grain far below that of other grain
growing countries, in order to provide for the
expenses of transportation and the difference
in the cost of labor. 1t is probable that Brit
ish cloth and other manufactured products
would be cheaper in actual money!. c. they
would cost less dollars, but at the same time
the ability of American farmers to purchase
these goods would in the same ratio be dimin-
ished. a bushel of wheat under these condi-
tions would represent less purchasing value
with the tariff Off foreign manufactured
goods, than withi on"
The foregoing our brother calls
"logical.' His first proposition is
that our farmers cannot compete
in grain raising with Poland, Rus
sia and Germany. If this is true
tell US by what process an Ameri-
can Tariff acts to raise the price OF
foreign grain, or on the other hand
how it creates u profitable market
for the surplus product Of our
farmers after an amount sufiieieut
for home consumption Is provided ?
Must not our farmers sell their
surplus In the open markets of the
world at prices fixed by the social
ed cheap grains? OF course they
must, Oy notsell at all, and the tariff
has as mnch to do in fixing the
price Of their product as 1t has in
regulating the movements Of the
planets, and the sthtsment Is false

The Acme of SOphistry

If we are to accept the assertions
of the protectionists as truth we
must perforce believe that the Unit
ed States is totally unable to with
stand the competition of the rest of
the world, and that were we to at
tempt it our manufactures would
perish our agriculture languish
and our people be reduced to penury
and want.
If the foregoing be true picture,
the reason for it must be apparent,
and real.
Let us look at the condition of the
United States for the purpose of
discovering the reason for the
weakness.
First: we have an area in square
miles almost equal to the whole of
Europe, excluding the sterile re-
gions of Northern Russia Norway
and Sweden.
Second: our acreage of tillable
soil is greater than that of all
Europe, while it is not excelled in
native fertility by any on the face
of the earth.
Third: Our population is to that
of Europe as one to five.
Fourth: More labor saving
Machinery is in use in the United
States, in every department of in
dustry than in any country of like
extent in the world.
Fifth: Considering quality, our
fertile acres are much, fully one
half, cheaper than in other civilized
lands.
Sixth: Our people are not excell-
ed by any on the face of the earth
in enterprise, ingenuity, energy and
industry, yet we are told by the
harpies that we must cover before
all the nations of the earth, and
like China close our doors against
other people lest with all the en-
umerated advantages we he re-
duced to pauperism. Tell us some
body why the people of the U. S,
cant stand reasonable competition,

iRep.) will give protectionists some
idea Of the way in which the tariff
questiop is operating upon the Re-
publicanS of the West. When it
comes to pass that even Republi-
can paper, and that the most wide
ly circulated aad influential organ
of its party in the State, is found to
admit that Nebraska is doubtful,
."with good chances of going Dem
.ocratic," on the tariff issue, isn't it
about time that the protectionists
should stop their "free taade" and
,"British gold" chatter and serious
~ consider the danger which
threatens the grand old party as a
result of it's alliance with the trusts
and monopolies? Says the Bee:
'"fhere are many in Republican
ranks in Nebraska who have been
there for many years, and who
would rather stay there than not.
They are wavering because the
Democratic party is opposed to
high taxes, and, did their own
party offer relief, they would stay
with the Republicans. Their own
party Offers ne relief and, will not
admit to the oyer taxed toiler that
there is any necessity for relief.
The wavering Republican knows
better. Rather than vote against
his own interests he will desert
the high takers. BY their very
greed they have made Nebraska i
doubtful State with good chances
of going Democratic" o ~

Presh,terian Assemblr.

PHrLADELPHIA, Pa, May 24-In the
Presbyterian General Assembly yesterday
morning, a number of overtures from Pres
byterians were favorably acted upon. One
of these was for revision OF the hymn
book, and another deprecated the publica-
ton of improper advertisements in the
columns of the church newspapers. An
other, from the Presbytery of Baltimore,
was in regard to the use of the revised YER
sion of the Scriptures. The General As
sembly voted that in view of the present
unsettled opinion relating to the revised
version it was inexpedient 10 authorize its
use in the public worship of the sanctuary.
Dr. McCosh presented the report of the
Judicial Committee. On the very first case
discussion arose and the hearing of the
report went over under the regular order,
which was the receiving of corresponding
delegates from sister religious bodies. Rev.
James Crawford, the delegate from the Re-
formed Church in the United States, then
delivered an eloquent address of salutation
from that body. The assembly broke into
applause when he expressed the sentiment
that the Reformed and Presbyterian
churches might at some time be one in fact
as they were now one in Christian spirit
and fellowship. The applause was renewed
when the moderator, Rev. c. L. Thompson,
d. D.. OF Kansas City. said the General
Assembly and the Presbyterian Church re-
ciprocated that sentiment
Rev. William Baum, d. D., the delegate
from the Lutheran Church, also delivered a
fraternal address and DIR. Thompson reply
was in happy vein. Rev. George W.
Huntington, the Reformed Episcopal dele
gate, Rev. William W. Barr and DIR. Rich
ards Storrs also spoke eloquently for the
churches represented by them, after which
a recess until to-day was taken.

Three Mexican Prisoners Killed.

ST. LOUIS, May pa dispatch from Du-
range, Mexico, referring to the killing of
William Muller, the wealthy land and cat
tie owner, at his hycienda, by robbers,
says: Soon after the killing, a lot OF
soldiers and police were on the ground.
Several of the robbers were known, and
soon seven were in the hands of the auth
critics. and the party started for the judge
of the town of jurisdiction, probably San
Miguel del Mezquital, but as ordinary
trials are long, cost money, and are not al
ways either profitable or satisfactory, the
seven prisoners were given the short way
to justice by the Ley de Fugo," that is.
they were allowed to try TO escape, and in
this effort for freedom. were all shot dead.
In Mexico, when any prisoner tries
to escape, an officer has the right to kill
him on the spot. The officers and soldiers
were in full pursuit of the Others engaged
in this robbery and murder. and it is eX-
pected that all will be captured and killed
