An illustrated contemporary, which
bears at the head of its editorial columns
the name Of Russell Il. Harrison, remarks
that the passage OF the Anti-Lottery bill
and its prompt approval by the President
have "creafed profound satisfaction among
the better citizens Of louisiana
That is very likely true; but II would be
more interesting to learn from young Mr..
Harrison's Eastern newspaper whether the
Presidents prompt approval Of the Anti
Lottery bill created profound satisfaction in
the soul OF Russell Il. Harrison.
The same journal informs its readers,
who look weekly to young Mr.. Harrison for
moral instruction and political guidance.
that "a number Of newspaper publishers
have been arraigned for attempting 10 cir
culate through the mails papers containing
lottery advertisements
Mr.. Russell Il. IIarrsOn's Eastern news
paper, however, does not tell its readers
that among the publishers who narrowly
escaped prosecution and punishment for
this o1ense is Mr.. Russell b. Harrison. the
Presidents son. lie escaped with only a
few hours TO spare. Indeed, the mails were
still carrying copies OF his Western news
paper containing the man-trap advertise
ments OF the Great Beast when Benjamin
Harrison signed the bill.
There is no stranger incident in the legis-
ative history OF this country. The specta-

so 10 speak, 30 escape the great moral and
reformatory blow struck by the President,
his sire, has no parallel that we know OF.

Capitol at Washington.
Importing Industries.
New York World.
II is a boast of the advocates of the new
tariff law that by prohibiting trade with
foreign countries they will import indus
tries" which are now conducted at greater
advantage in the Old World.
TO import an industry in the present con-
diiOn Of manufactures and Of the market,
means the importation Of the workers who
carry it on. These workers are described
by the PrOtectiOnists as 1.-The pauper labor
OF Europe" Is the importation of pauper
labor a desirable thing for the country! Is
it fair to the American wOrkingmen!
The tendency of every such importation
is to depress labor in this country still
nearer to the European level. This Is seen
in the coal and iron mines and in many
of the mill towns where "impOrted indus
tries" are prosecuted with imported labor.
The chief argument in favor of this policy
is that il will make "a "hOme market for
our farm products. But as ii will diminish
by Just so lnuch the lOleiEn IldThel lOT OuI
surplus, the gain Is mainly illusory.
The American w0rkingmen are not likely
to view with satisfaction the policy of i'm
porting industries" by importing cheap Ia
Dor free of duty.

no means to be sneezed at.
