Talks on the Tariff and Other SUBJ
iect. of the Day.

The laborino man is told that every
thino necessary to the health and comfort
Of himself and family is taxed to keep out
the products Of the pauper labor OF tu-
rome. When the wage-workers at Carnc-
gie's mills, in Pennsylvania, strike against
starvation wages, hordes OF HungarlanS
and Italians are on the spot to fill the va
cancies. Republican protection keeps out
the product Of foreign pauper labor, but
brings in free the pauper laborers.-

II our Chief Executive in particular
could 20 ont oftener and mingle with
crowds habitually, they would learn to be
frmer in their stand for the rights Of the
whole public and not 50 often mistake for
the voice Of the people the noise Of the
ofice-seekers whom Mr. Harrison 50 aptly
describes as "pressing considerations per-
sonal TO themselves" Like him, they
would take courage from the reminder
that "the great body Of the people have
only one and that the highest concern OF
the government, that public affairs shall
be honestly administered, that the laws
shall be enforced and that public servants

When honest, industrious workingmen
first came tlocking IN great numbers To
America to enrich the country by their
labor and spend their hard earned money
here, short-oighted ignorance raised the
hostile cry, "Amcrica for Americans
only" Now that millions Of foreign
capital are being invested in every de-
partncnt Of American industry, the prof
its thercfrom being drained by non-resi-
dents, and the people being threatened
with oppressive trusts and corners in cv-
cry necessary Of life for the benefit Of
these alien capitalists, nobody seems to
perceive the real and serious danger to
America and It's Americans. Will the
country wait until all the horses are stolen
before it thinks about locking the sta

The work imposed upon the Republican
party "a outlined by this Pennsylvania
Convention includes lavish appropria-
tons tor schools and pensions, tor pro-
noting private business enterprises, for
developing rc-onrcc~, for enlarging in
dustrics, torreguIating Southern elections,
for protecting our poor colorcd folks down
South from alleged local oppression; and
the money To do all this must come
from tariff taxes on imported materials
and goods, not from taxes on tobacco,
whisky and such Injuries. Taxes on
them, we are Told, are vexations and
inquisitorial," and must be first re-
duccd and aboli-hel." Notaword about
protecting The labor Of Pcnney Ivania

more taxes, more lrIbu'c u the Carncgics

There IS no doubt that good political
economy !. also good Christianity, and
Christianity is entirely practicable if the
people will only interpret it Alright Toll
stOi believes that love Of ones neghbor
means the surrender Of all worldly pos
sessions, and he he's admirers in this coun-
try VINO hold HIM up as a pattern. To
my mind he is mere visionary. There
Is nothing sinful in property itself, but
only In It's selfish administration. An
drew Carnegie's idea, that after man
has taken all he pleases for hifnsef he
should give out of his abundance to 9TH
ers, represents another extreme. True
Christianity and true political economy
both demand that he should share his
abundance while it is being created with
those who help to create it; in other
words, that those who cooperate with
him in making business prosperous should
have their cooperation adequately re-
Quilted, which it is not by the mere pay
