of his friends tried to induce him to make it
profession.
He preferred the law, however, and soon
entered uIon it's study under the instruction
of Judge Waite of Toledo, O., afterward
chief Justice of the United States supreme
court. Completing his studies, he returned
to Oneida county, and was married to Miss
Gertrude A. Bunce, and they then removed
to Fort Wayne, Ind, where Miller entered
actively upon the duties of his profession.
Here he remained for eight years. and three
children were born to him. The eldest is now
90 years of age; the next, son, is junior at
Hamilton college, and the third is daughter
about II years of age. Miller rose rapidly in
his profession, and soon stood at the head Of
the Fort Wayne bar His uniform suavity
of manner, his comprehensive knowledge Of
law, his fairness in the trial of causes, all
tended to gain for him the respect and esteem
of his associates, and he soon ranked among
the first both in popularity and amount Of
business.
In the course of his eight years of practice
at Fort WAYNE, Miller had met Harrison
frequently, and in 1874 he received an offer
of partnership with Harrison in Indianapo-
lis. The offer was at once accepted, and he
and his family moved to indianapolis ana be-
came intimate friends and confidants of the
Harrisons, the most intimate in fact, that the
latter have ever had. Harrison has always
yielded to Miller's Judgment in intricate
questions Of law and has conceded to him an
ability which marked the high confidence
which he reposed in him. In fact, Harrison
and Miller were different in the very things
which would tend to make their firm strong
one, the first having talent for examining
witnesses or arguing legal questions, while
the strength of the second lay in his ability
to search out analogies and prepare cases for
trial. AS speaker Harrison is the more
forcible, but as an inquirer, a sch cher after
law, Miller is the most tenacious In another
point the two were decided opposites. Har-
rison is cold and distant, except to friends
who have known him intimately for years;

Miller Is affable and always compsnionable.
While Harrison was depended upon TO pre-
sent the case to the court. Miller was the re-
lance Of the firm in their preparation, aud
nearly all the consultations held In the Office
were held with him.
In everything that pertains to his business
Miller Is a model of precision, and Harrison
has come to regard him as absolutely neces-
sary to him, whether in or out of Office. The
admiration Is mutual, and Harrison has no
more disnterested admirer than his former
law partner.

distresses of other powers into commercial ad-

expert that our European policy will be the
American policy of European courts. 1t is
so manifestly incompatible with those pre-
cautions for our peace and safety, which all
the great powers habitually observe and en-
force in matters affecting them, that a
shorter way between our eastern and west
ern seaboards should be dominated by any
European government, that we may con-
fidently expect that such purpose will not
be entertained by any friendly power.
We shall in the future. as in the past, use
every endeavor to maintain and enlarge our

The divergent interests of peace speedily
demanded ''more perfect union" The mer-
chant, shpmaster and the manufacturer dis
covered and disclosed to our statesmen and to
the people that commercial emancipation
must be added to the political freedom which
had been so bravely won. The commercial
policy of the mother country had not relaxed
any of its hard and oppressive features. To
hold in check the development of our CON-
mercial marine, to prevent or retard the es-
Establishment and growth of manufactures in
the states, and so to secure the American
market for their ships, and the carrying
trade for their ships, was the policy of Euro
pean statesmen, and was pursued with the
most selfish vigor. Petitions poured in upon
congress urging the imposition of discrimi-
mating duties that should encourage the pro-
duction of needed things at home. The
patriotism of the people, which no longer
found a field of exercise in war, was ener-
getically directed to the duty of equipping
the young republic for the defense of its in
dependence by making its people self depend
ent. Societies for the promotion of home
manufactures and for encouraging the use Of
domestics in the dress of the people were or
ganized in many of the states.
The revival at the end of the century Of
the same patriotic interest in the preservation
and development of domestic industries, and
the defense of our working people against in
furious foreign competition, is an incident
worthy of attention. 1t is not departure,
but a return that we have witnessed. The
protective policy had then It's opponents
The argument was made, as now, that its
benefits Injured to particular classes or
sections. If the question became, in any
sense or at any time, sectional, it was only
because slavery existed in some of the states
