Themere statement of exports and Imports
shows the bald absurdity Of Mckinley 5
ponderous conclusion that damaging for
eign competition in our home markets, is
the cause ofagricultural depression, aud that
the remedy is TO increase the duty on agri-
cultural products, the Importation Of which
form such an iu6ni,esimal part Of home pro
duction and exports. The total imported
agricultural products for 1889 amounted in
value 10 about S3I9, 600, 600, and It is the ad-
mission Of this amount which Is creating
what Mckinley calls damaging foreign COM
petition in our home markets The prin-
cipal articles. which are sugar and molasses,
Of which the imports were nearly a-third OF
the entire agricultural Importation, and the
McKiuleyites have demonstrated their lack
Of faith in their own theory, and their dis
regard of the American sugar grower by re-
moving the duty altogether upon this COM
peting product; Then we also imported last
year $4,000 600 worth Of hides McKin-
ley committee nrsl attempted 20 stop tuis
source of competition by imposing gener-
Gus duty, but got frightened and left hides
TO come in free, as they have for many years,
illustrating the beneicient effects OF free raw
material Altogether, after pointing with
horror at the alleged $3.50 900, 600 worth Of
imported agricultural products which are
producing his damaging foreign competi-
ton 10 our home markets, and from which
our farmers are declared TO need protection,
the trainers OF the Mckinley bill have &C
tually reduced the existing duties on a-third
have left untouched the duties on about
half and have increased the duties on scarce
ly one sixth, which proportion includes ar
ticles that are in no sense serious compeu
tors with American products.-G Cor Darid

the money TO pay all expenses, and have done u
for the sole reason that ! do not believe Wooo 10 DO

for taking the life Of the rlfian whom he Killed.
The facts were not kaown TO the jury or counsel
AZ the time OF the trial, and had not later develop
ments convinced me Of his Innocence / should not
have made "a prolonged fight. For over ten months
Wood was confined In the TOmbs before he was brought
TO trial. though he pevcr asked for delay, and the
witnesses for the prosecution were at all times at hand.
Justice was not so swift at that time, but as soon as
he was convicted ! WAS asked to stipulatc to advance
the case before the Court OF Appeals, and ! did SO,
and the same was submitted in June when. had /
not consented, IL could not have reached that court
before October. | deny that delay has been my

with it's administration The majority of the
Justices have been poor and have been in positions
where they could have made enormous sums OF
money through their advance knowledge. But
no one ever heard of q Justice OF the Supreme
Court specializing, and out Of all tie gossip OF
Washington ! have never heard any one accuse
the Justices of indiscretion in the way OF giving
out advance information. Several years ago a
sensational newspaper charged Justice Miller with
having furnished Jay Gould with advance In
formation concerning an important railway de-
cision. This was q most cruel ana I'M
warranted story. II there had been anything
in 1t Justice Miller would not have died
the poor man that he was. There was no member
Of the bench who was more respected than ne, and
the moderation of his expenditures when IN LIE,
and the lack Of fortune he left behind him. show
how upright was his career"
This same public official. who now occupies one
Of the highest offices in the Government. said that
the trouble about American politics was that there
was nothing in il, either in fnme or money. Public
opinion in this country did not always RUE.
Concerning this he said II mean the best public
opinion. We are subject to ruthless waves OF
emotion-I won't call them ~opinions-which come
without rhyme or reason. and put an end to the
career of our best men. The newspapers Of
America are never weary of poking fun and attack
ing public men. To he a member of Congress
is, from a newspaper point of view. to be an object
Of derision or suspicion. The House is the train
ing school for public life. 1t is the only place
for a beginner who seeks TO make a reputation
in a National sense. To-day the House is an
impossible place for the development of a new
reputation. Men come and 60 there without
being known, and often the most vigorous and
powerful efforts are simply wasted"

MISS HATHER TO Il BERNHARDT,S PART.

Miss Margaret Msther arrived in town yesterday and
will at once begin rehearsals OF Joan Of Arc" which she
ia TO play at the Fifth Avenue Theatre on Monday even
ing. The play, she says, Is the same in its essential
points as that presented by Nine. Bernhard, but the
characteristics which appeal more strongly to a French
audience than TO an English and American one have been
modified. and there is more action than in the French
version. Some new stage effects are also Introduced.
All Councils music, which was composed for the French
NAV. will be used, and q large chorus has teen selected
and Is I'm training. The mounting and costuming OF the
o,av will be elaborate and carefully arranged, though
the central part does not admit Of especially great display
in the matter Of costume. Miss Msther IL much pleased
win the arrangements that have been made thus far, ana
thinks that she has a good company. The cast is as
