The great convention of the repub-
lican League at Kansas City may be
truly regarded as an important event
in the political history of the state.
A glance at the list of men who COM
posed that staunch body of patriotic
citizens is sufficient to convince the
public that the republican party was
never more thoroughly united and IN
better condition to contend for and
advance its cherished principles.
Throughout the whole proceedings q
spirit of deep earnestness, conserva'
tism and patriotism was breathed,
which argues well for the future of
the party and strikingly controverts
the charge of dissension therein. The
general o%utpouring of leading rcpuh-
licans all over the state to take an
active part in the convention signifies
that the living principles for which
they have so long conteudoh, are talk
ing deeper root from year to year in
the hearts of the pcoplc.-St. Joseph

Manufacturing industries have been

The Rights of a Citizen are dis
cussed with vigor in scribner's maya
zine by James s. Norton He makes
some &C mments which are appropriate
and timely, because of the position the
Republicans are assuming in Congress
The doctrine that the property of a
citizen may not be used for other than
public purposes is clearly set forth. He
says:
The power TO tax the citizen and his
property is one granted of necessity to
every state by its citizens, aud Is based
upon theories of pubic necessity, and
the equitable distribution Of the expenses
of government. So long as 1t is exer-
cised for public purpose and with uni
formity, according to the value Of
property this power Is limited, only by
the discretion Of the Legislature. The
only security against wanton abuse is
found in our representative form of gov
eminent.
In cases where the tax imposed for other
than public purpose Is direct tax, it
may be resisted, and as the Loan Associa.
tion vs.. Topeka case before the Supreme
Court, su ccessfully refused. But in
cases Of the tariff as in the tin plate and
other Ubiquitous and unnecessary abuses
Of the taxing power there is no way OF
resisting the tariff robber except that

The tin plate tax is not tax for
public purpose. No community

tisan--Speaker Reed. This tin plate
tax is robbery, because 1t requires
man TO deliver one.half of his tin to
the government before he can release it
from the custom house, or to pay an adj
vance Of 100 per cent, to the tin plate
syndicate here. The government does
not need the money, so that the only
excuse for the tax is that the syndicate
proposes TO pursue the alleged unpro6t-
able business Of tin making and make
the people bear the loss.

An HISTORICAL PARALLEL.

Men have always made haste to be
rich. There never was a time when some
merchants, some favorites, or some pow
erful corporation did not enjoy such
special privileges as the protectionists seek
from the Republican party now. In the
seventeenth century the merchants and
courtiers at the court Of 81. James made
similar pleas to those that the tariff rob
bers make now to obtain exclusive con-
troll Of the soap, leather, salt and other
industries. During the reigns Of Eliza.
beth and James these monopolies, as they
were called then, became very oppressive.

Of England says
James already, of his own accord.
called in and annulled all the numerous
patents for monopolies which had been
granted by his predecessor and which
extremely fettered every species Of do
nestle industry. But the exclusive
companies still remained another species
Of monopoly, by which almost all foreign
trade, except that Of France, was brought
into the hands of few rapacious en-.
grossers, and all the prospect of future
Improvement in commerce was forever
sacrificed TO the little temporary
advantage OF the sovereign. These
companies, though arbitrarily elected,
had carried their privileges so far
that almost all the commerce Of England
was conferred in London, and it appears
that the customs Of that port amounted
to ell0 900 year, while those Of all the
kingdom beside yielded only e17, 900.
Nay, the whole trade of London was con.
fined to about two hundred citizens. who
were easily enabled by combining among
themselves, to fix whatever price they
pleased, both to the exports and imports

railway in Londoa several years ago,
ending in the Parnell commission, were
the results of deep-laid conspiracy on
the part of the government. The scheme
was to connect Parnell with these out
RACES and destroy him and his movement
together. There is no doubt that the
outrages did occur there is no
doubt that an effort was made
to connect Parnell with them
there is no doubt that the Parnell move
ment was retarded, and there is no doubt
that the government was anxious to
bring Parnell into discreditable con.
neciion with the outrages. SO much Is
known and is beyond dispute. but when
the effort is made to trace them TO the
mitigation Of the government the
most convincing proof viii be necessary.
Meantime such a connection will
not advance the success Of the
irish cause materially. It will
If proved beyond oayil, affect the stand
ing and characters Of those officials in
volved in such dastsrdy, despicable and
desperate course, but it will not involve
the people or even tho officials who did
not know Of the plot or endorse It. II
the disclosures are founded on truth
they. by all means, should be mace, but
they should be taken with many grains
Of allowance. The Irish people were
very much exasperated, there were
many Of them who would
not have hesitated at any extremity Of
outrage. It is not necessary, and 1t
seems incredible thas the English OFF,
cials, should have instigated the dynamit-
ards to do what they were already dis
posed and exasperated to do without in
stigatlou. 1t is Of little moment who in
stigated the crimes They surely re-
tarded the Parnell movement and they
surely should not have been instigated
by anybody, for any purpose, in any
cause. The attempted and necessarily
unsuccessful remedy was worse than the
disease.
