Whittier's New Poem.

THE following poem, entitled Oul
was written by John G. Whit
tier to be read at the reception to Mrs
John Logan at Concord, Mass, during the
Grand Army encampment. The reception
was at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. ID. Lathrop
in Hawthorne's old house,
Our thought of thee is glad with hope
Dear country Of our leve and prayersi
Thy way is down no fatal slope
But UP to freer sun and airs.
Tried as by furnace fires, and yet
BY Gods grace only stronger made
In future tasks before thee set
Thou shalt not lack the old-time aid.
The fathers sleep, but men remain
As true and wise and brave as they
why count the loss without the gain?
The best is that we have to-day.
No lack was in thy primal stock
No weakling founders bulded here;
There were the men OF Plymouth Rock,
The Puritan and Cavalier;
And they whose firm endurance gained
The freedom of the souls of men,
Whose hands unstained in peace maintained
The swordless commonwealth of Penn.
And time shall be the power Of all
To do the work that duty bids;
And make the peoples Council Hall
AS lasting as the Pyramids.
Thy lesson all the world shall learn,
The nations at thy feet shall sit
Earth's furthest mountain-tops shall burn
with watch.f from thine own uplit.
Great, without seeking to be great
by fraud or conquest-rich in gold
But richer in the large estate,
OF virtue which thy children hold.
q, with peace that comes of purity,
~ And strength to simple justice due;
SO own our loyal dream of thee,
God of our fathers make 1t true.
Oh, land of lands to thee we give
Our love, our trust, our service free:
For thee thy sons shall nobly live,
And at thy need shall die for thee.

COMMERCIAL DEVASTATION.

While the tariff revisers are at work
in Washington the continued investment
Of English capital in our protected in
dustries must make queer reading. A
computation Just made states that about
$3.50. 0O0,00 of foreign capital is now
getting the benefit Of the tariff for pro-
tecting cur infant industries.
As the present owners sell out and
abandon the noble charity Of paying high
wages TO the American--imported Polish
--laborer is it not possible that the cause
Of protection win suffer- Can they be
expected to exercise the same disinter-
ested and loving solicitude for the work
ingman which they felt when they were
his self-sppointed guardians
Then there is another distressing feat
ure OF this movement. The British capt
taIists are wicked free.traders. They
may be coming here to enjoy the benefits
Of our "home market, to gain possession
Of our industries and destroy them, or to
squeeze the earnings Of our working men
down TO the starvation wages Of the
English laborer.
In any Of these events II seems as II
these manufacturers we're abandoning
the poor workingman to his fate or turn
ing over the home market to the enemy
the Golden Club.
It seems too, as II some Of that de-
tested Golden Club gold were flowing
into the pockets Of the very men who
used to howl about the enormities Of its
blighting effects on the 'free-traders"
who were struggling to destroy the in
dustries by reducing the sarih from AZ to
40 per cent and trying TO reduce
the tax on the necessaries Of life
Failing to buy a sufficient number Of
voters and to control sufficient number
Of orators and newspapers to warrant
them to hope that they could open
our 'home market so that $4,000 900 of
people could food O., 100000 Of people
with cheap goods, they have inaugurated
the subtle and baser scheme Of buying
the manufactures and bribing the pro
tectionists themselves
1t is amazing to what depths of du
plieity, what extravaganzas Of chicanery,
what vagaries of political economy and
what expenditures Of treasure those mis-
sionaries of trade destroying organiza-
tion of British statesmen can attain
History has never told Of any crusade
equal to this in It's persistence, in its
portentous prospects and trade paralysis
In its far-reaching and blasting cyclone
Of commercial devastation.

"A young lawyer who comes 10 a big city to

best plans, and a very popular one.
If you are familiar with the secret organi-
cations Of the city, Just think how many Of
their officers are lawyers. Another plan
which is employed with good results by many

hours, in the rotunda, meeting strangers and
talking. One keeps himself 10 touch with all

Baltimore sun.
Speaker Reeds autocratic proceedings
ia the House yesterday, in defiance Of the
usages of that body and all respectable
parliamentary precedent, illustrates the
capacity OF the leaders OF the Republican
party to make IL odious with conservative
people by resorting to INSCRIPTIONS
methods to attain their ends Not having
a quorum Of his party present to sanction
proceedings to unseat a Democratic mem
Der. 1.-The Speaker dictatorily under
took to make a quorum by counting
Democratic members present, but not
voting. The precedent upon which he
based this act was ruling by Governor
Hill of New York, when presiding in the
New York Senate as lieutenant governor
some years ago. With this poor iustifi
cation for his partisan course he under
took to override and reverse the estab-
lished rule of parliamentary procedure.
He set aside the traditional law of Con-
gress, the greater body, in pretended
Difference to the usage OF the New York
Senate, body which is model in moth
ing but corruption and jobbery. His
conduct being in disregard Of accepted
parliamentary law naturally produced
anarchy. The Democrats denounced
il as revolutionary. The Speaker was
told-what was the fact--that he was
himself dlsorderly, and. therefore, not in
a position to enforce order For a while
the House was a mob-the result of an
effort TO carry out partisan program In
an unjust and high handed manner. The
unwisdom of such policy in the face Of
an impartial public Is evident. The
American people enjoy the game of poll
tics, but they object to it's being played
with loaded dice. Their sense of fairness
will teach them how to punish those
whose skill at 1t consists wholly in
brazen. faced trickerv
