THERE is nothing slow about Assist

il comes to firing out Democratic and
Mugwump PosTmasters of the fourth

points in murky horizon of official
apathy at Washington. Fortunately
for the country and the people, no seri>
Gus harm to the public interests can
come OF the impulsive energy OF the

The tntrigues OF leaders for important
places may not be dangerous but the
constant struggle for petty positions is
surely demoralizing. 1t Is the little

WHEN the practice Of cremation was
introduced In New York few years
ago its advocates believed that 1t would
soon supersede the custom of burial.
But it has not grown in favor as they
supposed it would grow. The subject
has just been brought under debate in
the Kings County Medical Society, and
cremation was strongly advocated by
some of its members but it is now evil
dent that the popular feeling agains
the practice is of a kind that cannot
be overcome in this generation. The
cremarory is looked upon as pagan
institution, not to ts Introduced into
Christian countries.

THE business failures, staguation OF
trade and reduction of workingmen's
wages throughout the country says the
Harrisburg Patriot are coordination
strong as proofs OF Holy Writ" that
President Cleveland was right when in
his message to Congress in December.
1887, he argued that revenue policy
which wrung a hundred millions dol
lars in unnecessary taxes from the peo-
pie year by year and locked them up as
dead and useless surplus in the treasury
would inevitably and speedily lead to
financial depression and Industrial ruin.
1t is now so plain that he who runs
may read that it is condition that
contronts us, not theory" That con-
dition is the immediate effect OF the
President.
The many millions OF unnecessary
taxes extorted by the federal govern.
nent from the people during the last
decade and The useless surplus in the
treasury could not fail TO oppress and
hamper every industry. The effect OF
the high tariff, too, has been as it must
necessarily always be, TO stimulate the
investmens of capital in the protected
industries with the certain result OF the
establishment OF many more plants
than the home market will justify and
the logical consequence of overproduc-
tion and its natural concomitants, shuts
downs, reduction of wages and labor
strikes. The high tariff having robbed
the people in taxes the government
does not require, having filed the
treasury with an idle and unproductive
hoard, having stimulated capital to an
abnormal activity in certain lines of
production, and having thus brought
about the suspension of many manufac-
lures, oppressed agriculture and de-
pressed trade, Is responsible for the
financial condition which now confropts
US. The theory OF protection, pretty
as 1t is to the greedy eyes of those who
would become suddenly rich, has proved
itself delusion aud a snare.

The protected industries themselves
are the first to suffer the evil effects OF
the tariff policy which is vaunted by its
supporters to be the prop and stay of
those Industries. The protective idea
appeals entirely to the speculative and
avaricious instincts OF man. The boun-
ty it Offers in the enhancement OF the
price of the protected product exeites
the cupldity Of the speculative capitalist
aud he and all his kind rush into the
production Of the tariffed commodity
until the end in the farceness of their
competition with each other they bring
ruin to all. That the investors in the
protected Industries cannot recover
from the fatal hallucistion that high
tariff benefits them when practical ex-
peIience demonstrates to every reasons-
bic person that it positively works to
their injury, is sign of an inscrutable
mental obliquity. If recent Industrial
events fail to dispel their illusion they
are simply slaves to pride of opinion.

as all men now must see, that it is q
condition that confrouts Us, not q
