THE DUTY OF THE PRESS.

The following extract is from Ora
tions and After Dinner Speeches of
Chauncey NJ. Depew. Casse1 Publishing
Company, New York:
The press is the mirror of the daily
life of the world, but it performs the
very highest duty in selecting what it
shall reflect. The newspaper is read by
the boy before he begins the study of his
mornings lesson, and it is his compan-
ion after he returns from school; it is
beside our daughter in her boudoir and
her bedroom; it drops into those young
lives facts, thoughts and impressions
which bear sweet or bitter fruit in after
years. You and l have known the
whole moral nature soiled and spoiled
by this unguarded and unguardable
communion. There are cases of lepro-
sy and small -pox, and vast variety of
unsightly and contagious diseases in the
hospitals, but we do not take our fami-
lies to see them. There are in the by
streets and alleys nightly scenes which
furnish food for earnest reflection to the
reformer and sociologist, but if we can
help it our children never hear of them.
We become the willing victims of the
plumber to keep sewer gas out of our
house, and the newspaper under the
guise of faithful reporting, with pictur-
esqe and attractive details, has not the
liberty to bring all these things and
worse into our homes. 1t is often said
that there is enormous profit in minis
tering to the depraved and debased ele-
ments in human nature, and that the
papers which refrain throw away for
tunes. l do not believe it, if the paper
has come to stay. The StDitDheS and
Scorpions, and all their blood are noto-
riously short-lived and Improbable. The
family is the unit of society, and no
matter what its head may be, he does
not introduce or tolerate in that circle
any element which he believes will de-
stroy it, Without the family support
no newspaper can survive, and that
journal will have the longest life, the
largest profits, and the greatest influ-
ence which as far as possible admits to
its columns only such matter as its edi-
tor would freely narrate at his own
table.

TALKS ON THE TARIFF.

A BRITISH BARONET SCORES FREE
TRADE AND BELIEVES IN PROTECTION.
New York Press.
Sir Edward Sullivan, British baro-
net, has published some views of free
trade and protection which show how
opinion in England is drifting away
from the Ptolemaic theory of political
economy. We append some extracts:
AFTER forty years experience of one
sided free trade, the condition of labor
in the United Kingdom is very alarming,
many industries have died out or remOY-
ed to other countries; in nearly every
industry English labor is undersold by
foreign labor; in most industries four
days is now considered weeks work.
employment, not cheapness, is the
handspring of national prosperity and
contentment. The way to make a ma
tion happy and prosperous is to give ev-
erybody an opportunity of being en-
ployed. The idea of supplying a popu-
lation of 34,000,000 with everything at
lower price than they can produce it is
that ever entered the human mind. This
is actually what free trade pretends to
do;we are attemptingto supply ourselves
with everything cheaper than we can
produce it. In other words, we place
before our workers cheap food, but put
it out of their power to earn the money
to buy it.
"Free trade means untaxed foreign
competition. Foreign competition means
competition in cheapness; competition
in cheapness means competition in cheap
labor; competition in cheap labor means
competition in flesh and blood; and COM
petition in flesh and blood is slavery
Excessive competition is the greatest
curse that can be imposed on working
community. The unrestricted cOmpeti-
ton of the whole world is rapidly max
ing the conditions of English labor i'm
possible. Cheap clothing and cheap
food are of no value if human labor is
cheaper still. Excessive cheapneSs is of
no value to the community without en-
ployment. Employment means cheap
ness. Those who have employment can
buy. Those who have not employment
cannot buy. = Free trade
means cheapness to the rich, the idlers,
those with incomes; but longer hours,
lower wages, harder work to the work
ers. The workers are twenty to one to
the idlers, and, therefore, free trade sac
rifices the interests of the nineteen to
the interests of the one
"Five shillings spent on the produce
of English labor benefits the working
class more than fifty shillings spent on
the produce of foreign labor. Internal
production and internal consumption
are the only proofs of national prOsperi-
ty. The first and paramount duty of
every government is to encourage cOndi-
tions under which every one can find
employment"

HARPER's MAGAZINE for May con-
tains the first complete account of an
absolutely unique episode in the history
of our national credit. Between twelve
o'clock on certain Friday in 1862, and
4 o'clock A. NJ. on the following Mon
day, L. E. Chittenden, at that time the
Register of the Treasury, signed twelve
thousand five hundred bonds. He tells
how he accomplished the feat, and ex-
plains the important interests involved.
In the Importance and the novelty of
this article is struck the keynote of this
Number. Importance and novelty be-
long to almost all the other contribu-
tions. Theodore Child opens the Num-
ber with "Some Modern Painters" stat
ing clearly the distinguishing traits Of
contemporary French artists, and, with
the help of elaborate engravings, giving
an exposition of the new art influences
initiated by Corot, Millet, and Courbet.
Paul Renouard supplements the bio
graphical details of the article with por-
traits. Prof S. H. Butcher, LID, of
the University of Edinburgh, contributes
an article on ''The Evolution of Humor,"
denying the possibility of explaining the
perception of the ludierous on strictly
Darwinian principles, and suggesting
provisional hypothesis by which the or

imaginings are the twenty-six drawings
in which Howard Pyle makes visible
the life of the olden time, described by
John Austin Stevens in his paper on
"Old New York Taverns." William

"Through Bush and Fern" describes the

THE intention of the Republicans in
Congress to deal literally with the vet
Grams in the matter of pensions has
practical illustration in the decision of
the House caucus to pass the Morrill, de-
pendent and modified service pension
bill. This bill will place upon the pen
sion rolls 100000 old and disabled Union
veterans. 1t will increase the pensions
of about 10000 who are now receiving
less than S8 per month to that figure.
1t will place about $4,000 widows of
soldiers on the rolls. 1t adopts the
principle of a service pension so far as to
give all veterans So per month when
they reach the age of sixty-two, and also
to the widows of those who may reach
that age.

CLOSE observers of affairs in Europe
see war in the near future despite the
present friendly relations of the West
ern European countries. 1t will be the
West arrayed against the East they say.
Russia encroaches more and more upon
Turkey and the neighboring Asiatic
countries, and to some extent threatens
Western Europe. England, Germany
and France have designs upon some of
the very territory that Russia is reach
ing for, and besides they cannot afford
to see it constantly growing in power.
Therefore they will not unlikely fight
Russia in order to appropriate very con-
siderable territory just to keep Russia
from gobbling it and adding to its
strength. Constantinople, with Western
Turkey generally, is far the most desira-
BILE prize, and the fight will likely be for
it. The most serious illness in the ex-
perience of the "Sick Man of Europe"
seems to- threaten.

SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE RUSK's
long statement on the present agricultur-
al depression and the possible remedy is
valuable contribution to live and highly
subject says the Pittsburgh
Commercial Gazette: The causes for the
depression he divides into two classes
those causes inherent to the farmer him
self, and for which he alone can provide
any remedy; and those over which the
farmer himself has no direct control, and
the remedy for which must be provided
as far as remedy is possible by law, and
for such legislation the responsibility
devolves upon the Legislative bodies of
the State and Nation. Careless culture
and want of business-like methods con-
tribute their share to the depression, he
thinks. The farmer, he says--and what
sensible man will differ with him?-must
be as well trained and careful in bust
ness as the storekeeper and his equal in
intelligence and education. The farmer
should pay as close attention to the
questions of supply and demand, and
watch the market prices as closely as the
merchant and manufacturer do. Again,
the farmer should own only as much
land as he can properly care for. All
beyond that amount is drain upon his
capital. The farmer should be careful
about assuming mortgages. In the past
he has not exercised enough care and is
now paying dearly for the indiscretion,
though it must be admitted that very
many of the mortgages were unavoidable
The farmer pays more than he should to
the railroads and middlemen. He sholud
be protected from foreign competition
more than he is. Products worth $l15,-
100000 annually are imported that enter
into direct competition with his own
products. Mr.. Rusk advises the farmer
to cease growing so much wheat since
foreign competition keeps down its price
He thinks that in many States the farmer
is burdened by unjust taxation. Every
corporation created by the State, county,
city, village should be taxed in proper
tion to its earnings, and the burden of
maintaining all governments should be
put upon the wealthy,

QUESTIONS ON TIE FUTURE MAN.
| Iarpers Magazine for May.
1t must be confessed that man has
had long inning. Perhaps it is true
that he owed this to his physical strength
and that he will only keep it hereafter
by intellectual superiority, by the domi-
nance of mind. And how in this gen.
Grafton is he equipping himself for the
future? He is money making animal.
That is beyond dispute. Never before
were there such business men as this
generation can shOw-Napoleans of fl
nance, Alexanders of adventure, Shakes
peares of speculation, Persons of accu-
mutation. He is great in his field, but
is he leaving the intellectual province
to woman? Does he read as much as
she does? Is he becoming anything buta
newspaper-mad person? Is his mind
getting to be like the newspaper? Speak
ing generally of the mass of business
men-and the mass are business men in
this country-have they any habit of
reading books? They have clubs, to be
sure, but of what sort? With the except
ion of a conversation club here and
there, and literary club, more OF less
perfunctory, are they not mostly social
clubs for comfort and idle lounging,
many of them known, as other workmen
are, by their 'chipsp' What sort of
book would a member make out of
"Chips from my Workshop" Do the
young men, to any extent, join in
Browning clubs and Shakespeare clubs
and Dante clubs? Do they meet for the
study OF history, of authors, of literary
periods, for reading, and discussing
what they read? Do they in concert dig
in the encyclopedias, and write papers
about the correlation of forces, and
about Savonarola, and about the Three
Kings? In fact, what sort of hand
would the Three Kings suggest to themP
In the large cities the women's clubs,
pursuing literature, art, languages, bot
any, history, geography, geology, myth
Ology, are innumerable. And there is
hardly village in the land that has not
from one to six clubs of young girls who
meet once week for some intellectual
purpose. What are the young men of
the villages and the cities doing mean
time. How are they preparing to meet
socially these young ladies who are eul-
tivating their minds? Are they adapt
ing themselves to the new conditions?
or are they counting, as they always
have done, on the adaptability of wom-
en-, on the facility with which the men,
bers of the bright sex can interest them
selves in baseball and the speed of
horses and the chances of the "street?''
Is it comfortable for the young man,
when the talk is about the last notable
book, or the philosophy of the popular
poet or novelist, to feel that laughing
eyes are sounding his ignorance?
