plain Speaking on the Irish Union" In
it he says: "Sir Richard Webster, in ex-
amining Mr.. VIM. O'Brien before the Par
nellcommission, implied that grave charge
would be proven against certain 1rishmen
if it could be shown that they regarded
English power as alien. / should like to
have asked Mr.. OBrien whether the
Irish, SO far as he knew, regarded the act
of union as possessed of the same moral
authority as the laws against theft and
murder, or as possessed of moral authority
at all. do not doubt that Mr. O'Brien
would have answered that they regarded
1T as an act of force to which Ireland
was under, not q moral, but only pru-

Decline OF Sheep Husbandry.

In 1888 Republican administration
was in power and the protective tariff
was .'in the hands of its friends"
The Democratic administration did
not come in until 1885. Nevertheless,
the State official reports show that
in 1884 the number of sheep in Ohio
was but 1868. .794, decrease in one
year of 1852, 126. That loss could not
be chargeable to democratic
scheme for free wool and free wool
ens," nor to the constructions put by
Democratic Secretaries of the Treas
ury on the meaning of the worsted
clause in the tariff-a construction, by
the way, which, when made, strictly
followed Republican precedents. It
was under the existing tariff, framed
by Republicans, construed by Repub-
licans, administered by Republicans,
and the loss in that one year was more
than five times greater than the loss
in the two years following the intro
duction Of 1.-The Democratic scheme
for free wool" That is something
for the Ohio sheep-raising farmers to
think about Cleveland Plain Dealer.

WHY FARMERS ARE POOR.

"A Condition of Things Duo to Oppressive
Tariff Taxation.
Why are farmers poor? This ques-
zion is exciting much discussion in the
special agricultural journals. Itseems
to be agreed that farmers are poor,
and all the communications published
that are written by leading farmers
all over the States and Territories
unite in this admission. The reason
for the prevailing poverty among half
the population is not so much a cause
of dispute as might be expected.
Burdens that fall unequally and that
lie like an incubus upon the agri-
cultural interests are recognized by
all as the chief cause of this distress
among the farmers. Increasing taxes,
chief among which is that which
comes like thief in the night under
cover of IL false theory and pretense,
but which cuts into the farmer 5
pocket at every turn and mulcts him
ruinously every time he makes pur-
chase of any thing needful in house
hold business. The onerous tariff
presses upon the farmer like those ex-
actions levied upon agriculture in
such misgoverned countries as Tur-
key, Egypt and India, and which take
every thing from the cultivator of the
soil except bare living. which is left
to him that he may continue to live
and work and be taxed.
One example of how the farmer is
taxed may De given as it comes to the
knowledge of the writer. A manu-
facturer of woolen goods in Scotland
advertised in an English farmers
journal that he would sell his cloths
at retail to farmers or exchange them
for wool. The writer wrote for SAM
Piles and prices of the goods. They
were of excellent quality; Scotch
tweeds, cheviots and such cloths as
make the best clothing for farmers,
and were Of pure wool and free from
.sshoddy," s.mungo" and the waste
trash that is so largely mixed with
wool in ordinary homemade goods.
The prices were so low as to astonish
an American purchaser; 80 cents, 623
cents, Is cents and less than one dol
lar a yard for the best grades. For
S. so cloth for full suit of such goods
as cost $40 here could be purchased.
But on looking up the list of import
duties it is found that our supposed
paternal Government exacts a tax
upon these cloths of so cents per
pound, and in addition thereto of 80
per cent ad valorem, thus increasing
the cost more than 100 PEI cent; on
the cheapest of the goods it is ITO ser
cent. And this tax is said to be for
the farmers interest and for their pro-
lection.
Let us see how this tax protects the
farmer 1t is supposed that the i'm.
port duty on foreign wool makes ub
for this loss to the farmers. In En-
gland the wool of which these goods
is made is worth % cents per pound.
In New York 1t is worth 80 cents

THE SEAL POACHERS.

No Trouble Anticipated by the Govern.
ment by Reason of the Seizure of the
Canadian Schooner Black Diamond.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The State De-
partment has not yet received any de-
mand for the release of the Canadian
sealing Tessel Black Diamond, but such
q demand is expected by some as soon as
the British Government learns officially
Of the seizure. No serious trouble with
Great Britain is apprehended by Depart
ment officials, however, for the reason
that it is to the interest os Great Britain
and all other great commercial countries
that these seals should be preserved from
the slaughter of piratical sealing craft.
The United States, they say, protects
them against our own and foreign poach-
ers alike.
Assistant Secretary Batcheller, talk
ing with reporter To-day, said that the
Treasury Department had no part In the
political or diplomatic side of the ques-
ton.
II don't see how there can be much
trouble about it," he said; '.for no nation
can afford to throw these fisheries open
to destruction. The commercial interests
of the world are too seriously involved.
The protection we give is for the bone
fit of the whole world. The habits of
the seal are well known. They make
three visits to these islands. On the last
visit, when they are not breeding or with
young, they are taken. We limit the
number that may be taken in any one
year, and provide that the females shall
be preserved, only five per cent. of the
catch being allowed to be of that
sex. At certain times of the
year they disappear. No one knows
where they go perhaps out in
the deep water. Again. they are seen in
the sea far from the shore. That is
where they are killed by these poachers,
and the mothers with their young are the
ones that suffer, because they are the
only ones to be got in any numbers. By
the killing of the females when with
young this way. the whole brood would
soon be destroyed. England can not af-
ford to have this done"

speeches were made at the Lord Mayors
banquet last night, but revealed but little
of the governments policy. Lord Sails

THE BLACK DIAMOND.

Detailed News of the Seizure of the Brit
ish SeaIer Black Diamond for Taking
seals in Behring Sea The Rush, when
Last Seen. was Rushing After More
PoacI,ers.
SAN Francisco. July 31.-The steamer
Dora arrived from Behring Sea Monday
night and brings the first detailed news
of the capture of the British sealer Black
Diamond by the United States revenue
cutter Richard Rush. On July IL the
Rush overlook the Black Diamond and
ordered her to heave to. The captain Of
the Black Diamond refused to obey tho
order. Thereupon the commander OF the
Rush ordered lowering of ports, and the
guns were run out. This action caused
the schooner to heave to. Captain Shep-
drd and Lieutenant Tuttle then boarded
She English craft, and asked for her pa
bers. The officers Of the Black Diamond
offered no armed resistance, but
refused to deliver the ships pa
pers. Captain Shepard at once
broke open the cabin and forced
the hinges off the strong box and the
captains chest. thereby securing the pa
pers. A search of the vessel disclosed
103 sealskius which had been taken in
Behring Sea.
Captain Shepard placed a non. com.
missioned officer in charge of the Black
Diamond and ordered the vessel to be
taken to Sitka to await further instruc-
tions. The captain of the Black Diamond
made the statement that when in Vic
tOria he had been ordered to pay no at
tention to the Rush in case she over
hauled him. He would not have surren-
dered if the Rush had not had force su-
perior to his.
The Dora says on the way down from
st. Paul's Island the Rush was seen in
close pursuit of six sealers and that ad-
ditional captures have undoubtedly been
made by this time.

THE SUGAR TRUST.

| Tho Only Way to Relieve the People Is
to Put sugar on the FREQ List
Sugar raw and refined should go on
the free list. The tax paid last year
directly into the Treasury amounted
| value of the enormous quantity OF
| 2,521, ,098. 473 pounds (two thousand
| five hundred and twenty-one million
pounds). In addition to this tax a
combination of Captains of Industry
known as the Sugar Trust is this year
taking advantage of the restrictions
imposed on this market by the tariff
laws to eXtort an enormous amount in
private taxation for their own benefit.
The estimated net profits of the re-
finers' tariff ring last year was $19,-
600, 900. This year the robbery will
be much heavier. The trust claims
that the advance is due to a decreased
supply of raw sugar-to natural laws
of supply and demand. It is not worth
while to argue on that point while a
tax of thr ee-fourths OF the value of all
sugar used in the American market is
paid by the consumer. Such a tax so
interferes with the laws of supply and
demand that while it exists it is alb
surd to talk Of high price being due to
natural causes. If with all sugar, re-
fined and raw, on the free list. the
Refiners' Trust can then control the
market. it will be fair trade and no
robbery.
AS a matter of fact no trust can long
control an open market on any staple
article. Abolish the sugar tax and the
refners' ring will be abolished with it.
The Republic is heartily in favor of
the abolition of both the tax and the
trust created by the tax. The Repub-
lican party is urged by certain Repnb-
llcan papers to pursue this course ard
Republican speakers have frequently
attacked the tax as tribute paid to
Louisiana. This is untrue, as the
Louisiana industry is already virtually
ruined under the tax, but even if the
Louisiana planters were highly pros
porous. it would be grossly unjust to
the people to keep them SO. The tariff
question has assumed shape where
the fight, if made at all, must be made
for impartial justice. 1t is plainly
impossible to scale down the present
tariff horizontally. The only method
by which reform is possible is through
abolishing or cutting the tax on one
article at time, and this is the time
for sugar.
The Republican party.has control of
both houses Of Congress and the Presi-
dency. 1t will be obliged to show its
relations to the sugar trust which now
has its fingers in every sugar bowl in
the land" Without Government assist
ance and connivance, the trust could
not practice this extortion. The tax
should be abolished outright. Put all
grades of sugar on the free list, and
if the trust can survive by fair trade
in an open market, let it survive. st.
Louis Republic.

papa went to the State Fair. he brought
him to me. $e was puppy then. He
is part Newfoundland and part mastiff.
and weighs over hundred pounds.
Uncle Frank made me just the incest
little wagon, and Uncle Charles made
me real leather harness that fitted
beautifully. 1t is nice to have some
body in the family that can make
wagons and harnesses. In the wintc.

if he sees rabbit
Last week I was going over to Ben

rabbit ran out before him. Bravo saw
him, of course. and wanted to catch
him. / couldn't stop him. SO
l just chung to the wagon and
let him go. Oh. how he did
run! think if he was horse
he would beat Goldsmith's Maid. 1t
was all well enough as long as he kept
in the road, but when the rabbit took
to the woods, he followed and the
wagon turned upside down with me
under it. The thills broke short off
and away went the dog.
1t didn't hurt me much, but it was
wedged between the trees somehow
and couldn't get out. You see Uncle
Frank had made it deep and long, SO
l could haul big loads in it.
Did cry? Well, guess did, and
l screamed, too, as loud as ever could.
Pretty soon Bravo came back, but
he couldn't get me out. although he
scratched and scratched around the
wagon. Then what do you suppose that
dog did? He just ran home and barked
and barked until he made father come
back with him.
1t isn't many dogs would do that, sir,

Whistle them away,
There's nothing cheers the spirits,
Like merry roundelay.
No matter for the heart-aches,
Meath silk or holden gray,
For the sake of those who love you,
Just whistle them away.
'Tis strange how soon friends gather
About q cheerful face;
That smiling eyes and lips count more
Than beauty, wealth or grace;
But have seen it tried. boys,
When trouble comes to stay,
The brave heart leaps to work, and strives
To whistle it away.
Then as you climb life's hill. boys.
Put music in your toll
Turn TO your traitor trials,
A whistle for a foil;
Be steadtast in the right, boys,
Whate're the world may say,
Temptations never conquer those
Who whistle them away.

IN THE DOMINION

The Canadians Indignant Over the Seiz-
ures of Their Sealers by the United
States-Canada's Military Strength-Re.
liZious Troubles.
OTTAWA, Ont, Aug 3.-The dullness in
official circles has been dispeled by the
recent news of the seizure of British
vessel in Behring sea. The excitement
occasioned by the affair is intense. The
Canadians are slow to understand why
the American Government should not
entertain the same opinion regarding in.
ternational laws and the three mile limit
on the Pacific as we'll as on the Atlantic
coast. The authorities here still continue
to discuss the American preJensions as
TO exclusive jurisdiction in Behring sea.
AT present the Governor General is in
direct communication with the British
Government which favors cautious
policy. The Canadian Government is in
dignant over repeated seizures on the
high seas, and has asked England in
plain language to protect their interests.
The effect of a refusal to sacrifice impe-
rial interests for domestic one is hard
to determine.
The press of Canada is unit in de-
nouncing the seizures. OF course, no.
body thinks of going to war. The dispute
has directed attention to Canada's mill
itary strength. The active military force
exceeds 36, 900 men. On the basis of the
last census, Canada can put 1, SOC, 900 men
in the field.
The anti-Jesuit agitation is a domestic
QUARREL which tends to estrange Catho-
lies and Protestants. The opposition OF
the latter to the Incorporation of the
Jesuits is not diminishing. 1t has placed
the government in an awkward position,
especially after the unqualified support
of the government policy last session.
Six hundred Protestant petitions, signed
by fifty five thousand Canadians. asking
for the disallowance of the Jusui. bill OF
Incorporation were presented to the Gov
erGor-General at Quebec yesterday.
