Not SO Dull After. All.

1t would be hard to say WHY Phila-
delphia is so. often called dull. Per-
haps it is because of the strict ortho-
doxy of its large Quaker and Presbyte-
rian population. 1t is true enough
that many of its men and women lack
the resources of their fellows of Boston
and New York. Intellectual life in
the town is not so quick or alacrious
as the nimble mind of New England.
When the Philadelphia mind is trained
it becomes a storehouse of solid and
useful accomplishments; perhaps it
would be better to designate it's pos
sessions qualifications instead of accom-
plishments. And then, again, there
lies doubtless some cause for that
which seems like sombreness in the
fact that almost every Philadelphian
has home, so that on a Sunday, for
example, when the public places of
New York are thronged, the substan-
tial young Philadelphian, who is not
under the necessity of escaping from
the horrors of hall bedroom, remains
within the doors of his own or his
paternal mansion; or he may stroll
about the streets of an afternoons; or
he may ride or drive over the roads of
the finest park in the country. He
may do many things, but he does not
haunt the public places; and he is,
above all, family man.-H. L. Nelson,
in HGTDeT'S WeeELy

speech by George a. Fairbanks in Pre-
senting His Name.

The name of Okeyis familiar to every
Democrat of the State, be they young or
Did. Four generations bearing that
name have been jurists and Legislators,
winning fair fame for themselves, and
:efecting credit upon both the State
they served and the party they repre-
sented. Geo. B. Olzey, the great grand
son of Leven Okey, who was judge in
;he early days of Ohio's career as a
State, the grandson of Colonel Cornelius
Okey, later on a member of the State
Legislature and the son of Judge John
W. Ol1ey, the great lawyer and jurist,
Who distinguished himself SO signally
whilst on the Supreme Bench, was
chosen by the late State Convention as
the candidate for Judge of the Supreme
Court.

A visitor to wretched tenement

a child who held broken jug full of

Tariff Taxation Increase.

The tariff bill of Mckinley will in
crease the burden of taxation $27, ,000,-
900, will add at least $50, 900, 900 to the
cost of the articles remaining on the
dutiable list, with the exception of
sugar. In addition the price of every
domestic product will be increased on a
moderate estimate from 10 to more than
100 per cent.
This is an enormous tax. 1t is paid
by all the people for the benefit of a
few. The Republican party's theory is
that the country grows rich by this pro-
ceeding. We pay moro for what we i'm
port and for what we make, and grow
rich thereby! That is the doctrine of
the economic school which is in charge
of the Government and which lays be-
fore the country its latest and most per-
feet work.
The bill is intended as the Govern
ments contribution to the copartnership
into which the Republican party has
driven it. The manufacturers are to be
it's benefciaries. All others will bear
III burdens.

Paying Republican Debts.

The first session of the present Dem
ocratic Legislature was obliged to face a
deficiency of 500, 600 left by tho Repub-
ican predecessor ON account of the
public institutions alone. The Foraker
administration, after nearly bankrupt
ing the State by its extravaganza and
mismanagement, took this course to
fasten the blame of extravaganza upon
the Democratic party. 1t has always
been thus in Ohio politics. We have
never had Democratic Legislature yet
that did not have to meet and pay Re-
publican deficiency. And whenever it
was met and paid the organs and speak
ers of that party have mover failed to
abuse the Democrats for incompotency
and mismanagemcnt o. State affairs.

PENDING the passage of the tariff bill

PENDING the passage of the tariff bill
in the House, last Saturday, Mckinley
claimed that ''the duty on binding
twine was too low, but indulged the
hope that some future Congress would
discover the fact and apply the rem
edy."
This discloses the bare-faced robbery
of the farmer as intended by Mckinley
and his fellow tools in the interests of
monopoly and trusts. Having sold him
self, body and soul, to the monarchal
nabobs, he is working industriously in
their interests and against those OF the
people. In plain language: He is the
hired attorney of boodlers and robbers.

THE Ohio State Journal delights in
prevarication, especially in its cam
paign efforts. 1t stated few days ago
that the Democratic members of tho
General Assembly voted against the
Massie act, which prescribes the fees
for filing articles of incorporation in
the Office of the Secretary of State. An
examination of the Journal of the
House, for the session of 1889, shows
that every Democrat who was present
voted for that act, and there wasn't a
single negative vote given. Hon. Thad-
deus E. Cromley stands recorded in the
Affirmative. Secretary Ryan considers
this law the crowning enactment of the
Sixty-eighth General Assembly.

A Word to the FIockmasters.

In 1867, under high protection, Ohio
New York, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois,
Wisconsin andConnecticut, had 80, 900, 600
sheep. Ten years later this number had
declined II, 600, OOd. This tends to show
that high protection has been of little
good to the flockmasters. The tariff
was put on wool in 1867, and that very
year the price decreased 4 per cent In
1856, after 20 years protection, the aver
age price of fine washed clothing wool
was only SO cents. 1t was So
cents from 1927 to 1864 when
there was comparative free trade.
Great Britain, France and Germany ad
NIT wool free, and they are the great
woolen manufacturing countries of the
world. Great Britain has 242 sheep to
the square mile, while this country has
but II to the square mile. The former is
free in trade and the latter protection.
Those countries have unlimited COM
mand of the markets. Wool is admitted
free and the result is that they export
more woolen goods than we do. We can
not compete with them for the reason
that we hamper our trade with heavy
tax. We are told here that the farmer
will beruined if free trade is established.
We have only to look at those countries
to refute the fallacy. In this country
on our cheap lands and under high pro-
lection sheep are decreasing, while in
England and France on the highest
price land with wool admitted free sheep
| are increasing ten-fold! If free wool
ruined the English and French farmers
they would demand the imposition of
| duty to save them from ruin. But they
don't. Free wool means prosperity to
them, and enlarged markets for their
| woolen manufacturing establishments.
