THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND ITS
WORK,

The venerable Senator Justin S.
Morrill,, Of this state, in late mag
azine article, gives a terse and IN
all respects truthful and admirable
synopsis Of the policy which may be
regarded as the special work of the
Republican party, to be accomplish
ed in tie immediate future. 1t will
afford food for thought for those
persons who are assuming that the
Republican party's work lies in the
past, rather than in the future. The
record Of Republicanism since 1861
has been so magnificent, so unparal.
leled in the history of American
parties, that the unthinking are
blinded by the brilliancy of the past,
TO the needs of the future; for it
has led many writers and speakers
to dwell more on the glories of the
Republican record for quarter of
a century than on the possibilities
of the future, which are equally i'm
portant. Senator Morrill, outlines
the Republican programme as fol-
lows:
l. It's early work will be to equalize the
revenue and expenditure.
., It insists upon the reform of the civil
service, begun under Republican admins
sralIon.
g. 1t will insist upon the bi-metallic stand
ard aud upon maintaining the use and clrcu-
lation of both gold and silver coinage.
4. 1t will heartily support protection of
homoindustrics and home labor.
5. 1t will favor the extension of the char
tiers of national banks III any safe and proper
way.
g. It proposes TO stamp ont the wlekedness
OF polygamy wherever the United States
government has the power
/ 1t favors the reduction OF letter postage
to one cent per ounce.
s. 1t asserts that lawful citizenship is and
must be the panoply and safeguard OF him
who wears it, and should protect him, wheth'
er high or low. rich or poor, in all of his civil
rights at home or abroad.
9. 1t intends to take care that no men who
have honorably worn the federal uniform
shall ever be inmates of an almshouse.
10. 1t will maintain the doctrine that the
United States is nation, and that IN "main-
tanning our national rights and honor all
governments are alike to u.s." however great
ly they may differ in power.
IL. 1t Will cordially sustain all wise and
well-directed efforts for the promotion of
temperance and morality,
y. 1t VIII favor ocean mail service by
American ships
Is. 1t will literally support the building up
of the navy to standard of efficiency worthy
of our country.
IA. 1t will favor education, state and
national.
Is. 1t will also favor the exclusion of pau
pei and criminal immigrants.
There is in all this no note of re-
action. 1t is all positive, progress
sive, meeting the demand of the
honest, thinking masses of American
people that deficiencies shall be
supplied and reforms promoted.
And to that work the leading
thought of the Republican party is
committed.

IMPORTANT OPINION
Rendered by Judge Veazey Affecting
the Jurisdiction of Justices.

In the habeas corpus case of w.
Town of Montpelier, now in the
House of Correction for intoxication
under third conviction, heard by
Judge Veazey recently, it appeared
that the prosecution was on a com
plant signed by the States attorney
of Washington county, but which
was when signed a printed form
applicable to cases of intoxication,
but in blank as to name, time and
place; that this was put into the
hands of another person who was a
clerk in the States attorneys law
office, to be used by such clerk in
behalf Of the States attorney in any
case of this class that should come
into the Office for pros ecution; and
that this case came to that clerk in
the absence of the States attorney,
and was prosecuted to final iudy-
ment by conviction before a justice
of the peace in behalf of the States
attorney, by such clerk, without
question by the respondent as to
the regularity or legality of the pro-
ceeding. There being no provision
of our statutes as to the manner of
proceeding by the States attorney
in cases of prosecution for intoxica-
ton, except the general provision
of section 263l, revised laws, which
says: Estates attorneys in their
respective counties shall prosecute
for offences committed therein" it
was held that however this method
of prosecution should or might have
been considered if the question had
been raised before judgment, it
can only be regarded in a habeas
corpus proceeding as an irregular
method, and for irregularity only
habeas corpus does not furnish a

remedy. II cannot now be said
that this was in no sense a prosecu-
ton by the States attorney. But it
further appears that this is a case Of
third conviction for intoxication,
wherein under the act No. SO Of
1889, the penalty was made a fine
of $50 and imprisonment two
months, and as there is no special
provision of our statutes giving
justices of the peace jurisdiction in
cases of intoxication, their iurisdic.
ton in this class of cases is limited
to their general jurisdiction in pro-
ceedings in criminal causes, wherein
1t is provided, section 1906, revised
laws, that they may try and deter.
mine prosecutions and actions of
criminal nature, where the punish.
ment is by fine not exceeding $40,
unless further jurisdiction Is given
by special provision. The magis-
trate in this case having assumed
jurisdiction, which he did not have,
to try and determine the cause, and
imposed a penalty of more than $40
fine, his judgment was void, and
the relator is entitled to be dis
charged from his Imprisonment.

TALKS on THE TARIFF.
4 Few Of the Many Advantages of
the Home Market Principle En-
umcrafed.

/
The full extent 10 which n well
sustained home market contributes
to the general advancement cannot
be even approximately estimated
without taking into consideration
the increased facility with which
purchases can be effected where in
dustries arc thoroughly diversified.
Articles purchased near home can
be paid for by the sale of either one
of large number of domestic pro-
ducts-many of them more readily
obtained by the would be purchaser
than the few he will be able to ex-
change for articles purchased abroad.
Imported products mast be paid for
chiefly in breadstuffs, meats and
cotton, these being the American
products wanted by the foreign sci.
Ter. What cannot be thus purchased
must be paid for in gold and silver.
On the other hand, domestic pro-
ducts, in the interchanges of trade,
can be paid for in labor, profession
al service, farm produce, fruits and
any or all OF thousand products of
the field, the mine, water or forest
many of them otherwise value
less.
Thus it is found that even if the
claim of the free trade advocate be
true, that protection makes the price
of domestic articles higher, when
measured in dollars and cents, than
would be similar articles purchased
abroad, such enhancement is more
than compensated by the greater
convenience in purchasing, and the
profits on materials exchanged, to
say nothing of values given to
otherwise worthless articles. A
mans ability to buy depends more
upon the price he can obtain for
what he has to sell than upon the
price of the article to be purchased.
But the claim for higher prices for
products has no foundation in fact.
On the contrary, every days expert
ence is full Of its refutations, and
brings added proofs that the tend
ency in prices Of domestic products
defended by tariff laws is steadily
in favor of purchasers. Not a single
tariff protected article is as high in
price to-day as before the tariff was
laid; many are not half so dear as
formerly; some of them not one
quarter the price.
Strong as the case thus stands in
favor of supplying the home market
from home resources, there can be
added an equally conclusive argu.
ment, urged by one whom free
traders are quick to quote as an
opponent of protective policy.
Adam Smith pointed out the fact
that the building mp of domestic
industries w&s coupled with the ad
vantage of giving employment to
two domestic capitals and two sets
of citizen laborers, while the pur-
chase of products manufactured
abroad confines employment to the
capital and labor represented in the
domestic products given in exchange.
The labor cost of the foreign'made
articles, as we'll as the profit on their
production and sale, inure to the
advantage of foreigners. These,
under the policy of protecting home
market, are insured to our own citi'
zens.-New York Press.

THE ALIEN CONTRACT LABOR LAW

.
Acting Secretary BatcheIler has
written letter to the collector of
customs at Cape Vincent, n. Y, in
regard to the enforcement of the
alien contract labor law in which he
says: The department received
your letter Of the 22nd inst, with
enclosures, relating to violations of
the alien contract labor laws by
Canadians, but chiefly devoted to
the consideration of the case of
American and Canadian oarsmen at
Alexandria Bay. Your instructions
to your deputy, as given in the copy
of your letter to him, are considered
safe and judicious on the points,
first, that the law applies only to
aliens; second, that the contract to
labor must be made prior to import
alton, as explained in section 1891;
third, that 1t was erroneous on the
part of oarsmen at Alexandria BAY
to claim that it was the duty of
customs officers to keep out all Can
adian laborers even though net
under previous contract; fourth,
that the law does not prohibit aliens
or foreigners voluntarily coming
into this country seeking for en-
ployment. and contracting work
after their arrival here; fifth, that
one who was an American citizen,
but has become naturalized citizen
of another country is an alien in the
sense of the law; sixth, as to the
case of an American citizen residing
in Canada, but without having been
naturalized there, and coming into
this country under a previous con
tract to labor-the question as to
his liability under the law will be
decided when a case is presented
with its facts and circumstances.
1t is expected, as you intimated
to your deputy, that officers in ad-
ministrating this law will bear in
mind that the main object of the
law was to remedy as far as possible
the evil arising from the importation
of aliens under contract to compete
with our own people by working
for less wages, thus throwing them
out of work and depriving them of
the means of support.
Wherever you find this evil re.
sulting from such importations, and
especially where complaints of such
practices come from reliable persons
and are properly authenticated, then
the proper steps may be taken to
enforce the provisions of the law.
though it is desired that the facts
of case should be submitted to the
department before prosecution is
commenced. In view of the many
complicated situations and close
business relations along the Cana,
dian line, which apparently were
not contemplated or provided for
by the law, it is preferred that they
be submitted to the consideration
of congress before needlesgly rio.
orous enforcement of the law-pos-
sibly causing unnecessary hardsh;ps
and financial injury to American
citizens-should be attempted, cs.
pecially in cases where there is no
complaint from responsible parties.
