HERALD don't object to bar in a

man who gives his sanction to such

it to exist and flourish unquestloned

AIr. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
Permit two old soldiers, members
of the G. n. r., to thank you for
the manly stand you have taken
with respect to soldiers having
office. In this state they cannot
have office unless they are in the
Ring; we speak from our own ex-
perience, for we have endeayored
to secure such, but civilians were
preferred. We ,ccre not IN tie Rang.
On the other hand, such soldiers as
are in the Ring can and do get
Offices; men too that held office for
years previous to Mr.. Cleveland be-
ing president, are again appointed to
the exclusion of others equally de-
serving. This cry" che lip and assist the
soldiers" is fraudulent, made for
partisan purposes in campaign and
election times, and the public should
not be misled by it. We arc Re
pubhcans you know it; We fought
for our country; suffered hardship'
in its defense; but this counts a.
nothing in our favor, we a'e MOI
favorable to the Ring. The great
mass of the people do, however, ap
preciate and respect the soldiers
the politicians do not unless it will
accomplish some partisan purpose
The many are but tools in the hand
of the few, and the public are begin
ming to find it out. These are the
sentiments of two who favor Page
for Governor, and we believe W,
represent the views of many

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY.


The action of the council last night
IN voting to buy a fountain for East
Fulton-st. park Is a move in the right
direction. The old band stand that has
50 long stood there IS somewhat of an
eyesore, and yet to move 1t would
leave 4 vacancy that cannot better be
hlled than by the erection OF the ex-
ceedingly handsome fountain, the de-
sign OF which was shown 10 the council
last night. In this connection it may
be said that it would be good policy TO
take steps tending 10 beauhfying the
other city parks. The PARK commit
tee deserves great credit for the
careful attention they have given TO the
work and the excellence of their final
choice, both as to price and beauty.
The fountain Will be manufactured
from a combination of two designs,
neither OF which was exactly satisfac-
tory, but when combined produce an
artistic and beautiful whole. The upper
paTt is a reproduction of a fountain in
Versailles palace grounds, near Paris,
France, and the. base and first two
basins, with their figures, are from a
fountain presented TO the city of Spring
field, Ohio, bv MavOr Kelley.

Daniel Webster SAID ID a speech, de-
hvared at Albany, New York, IN Au-
gust, ls4i: Il defy the man in any
degree conversant with the history, in
any degree acquainted with the annals
OF this country from 1857 to 1889, when
the constitution was adopted, to say
that protection Of American labor and
industry was not n leading, l might al
most say the leading, motive, South as
we'll as North, for the foundation of
the new Government. Without that
provision in the constitution 1t never
could have been adopted"
Such was the strong, yes, defiant Ian
guage. Of him who was Justly denomin-
ated the expounder Of the constitution,
and the pregnant history Of those times
and subsequent events prove the truth
fulness of bis assertions. One of the
first bills to be passed in the first Con-
gress has preamble reading,
IN part, Whereas, it is ne
oessary for the support Of the
Governments; for the discharge Of
the debts of the United States, and the
encouragement and protection OF man
uflcturers,' etc, and "a there were
patriots IN those days, and not Demo-
cratic politicians, the bill became a
statute without difficulty. Alexander
Hamilton, who knew a little about the
constitution, rs evidenced by his historic
articles thereon published in the
Fsssraisf, was an uncompromising pro-
tectionist aud took high grounds IN ms

Here IS the usual Democratic argu-
ment 70 prove that the tar.H IS q tax,
taken from the editorial columns OF
the Detroit Free Fress.
"Can u be that the tariff is 4 tax
after alp Ine Philadelphia Public
Ledger, speaking OF the duty on Amer
lcan Hour imported into Cuoa, walcn Is
s5.63} i barrel, says. There are other
charges on al -four whether admitted
duty free or otherwise amounting TO
about dollar a barrel, 80 taat the
Cuoans are made u pay a pretty pi!ce
Tor one or the necessities OF ilfe.'
As usual, the Free Press utterly ig-
nores the lack Of home production,
which alone could prevent the tariff
from being tax. There is no home
production of -four in Cuba. Flour Is
one OF the leading imports OF the
island, SIMPLY because IL IS not pro-
duced there. Cuba produces sugar
enough and TO spare, but such Is not
the case with -four. Would the Free
Press claim that Cuban tariff on sugar
would be a tax on Cubans? Certainly it
would not so stultify itself. A tariff OF
1000 per cent. on sugar would not be a
tax, for Cubans do not have to import
1t. They do have to import -four; hence
the tax.
In the United States the very reverse
holds good. We cannot supply our
selves with sugar, hence the tarlh
thereon is tax. But we can supply
ourselves with flour over and above
our needs, hence a tariff on -four Is not
a tax. The Free Press can be polite
ally honest, but 1t would not be a Dem
ocraUc paper if 1t should be.
