same in the book. The comrades article is not
ovcrdrawn, neither is it an isolated case, as the
book is teeming from cover 70 cover Of all that
goes TO make up a genuine rebel account Of the
causes of the war and tho war itself. Every
General who was careful not 10 hurt slavery
nor TO be too aggressive is here patted on the
back and lauded 70 the skies; but those who
tried 10 put down the worst rebellion the world
ever knew arc called all the vile names known
in the English vocabulary.
After reciting the assassination of President
Lincoln, on page 31S, IL has this 20 say about
Booth. the murderer: Ills body was taken to
Washington, and tho savage Abolitionists
gloated over il with cannibal ferOcity. As
have said, this vile delusiOn transforms men
into brutes. They not only refused to turn the
body over 10 his weeping mother, but they tore
ont his entrails and threw them 10 the hogs.
His skull was placed in some museum, his
heart preserved in spirits. his spinal column
given 10 some medical college. while the bal
ance Of his remains were deposited no one
knows where! Such is Abolition Christi
anity!"
On page 37l We read Of Booth after firing
the fatal shot: "Then, dropping his pistol and
drawing his knife, jumped from the box to the
stage of the theatcT, and brandishing his
weapon, cried Sic sempcr tyrannis Virginia
is avenged" On page $40 we are informed
"he was no common murderer; il was from no
thirst Of blood" etc.

unbiased, and our children arc expected to read

WHAT WILL THEY DO:

Senator Carlisle has been interviewed
recently on the prospective tariff legis-
lation in the next House Of Representa-
tives. He hopes that the Democrats
will act in q conservative manner in
formulating tariff legislation. A gen.
eral tariff bill may be passed by the
House, but it would meet with deadly
opposition in the Senate. he thinks.
Special bills may he resorted to. to
amend the present law, but what kind |?
Will the Democracy seek to restore the
sugar tariff. because 1t Is . revenue
tariff. such IS the Democracy
affects? 1t will scarcely have
the hardihooa to propose such meas
ure. The attempt would prove the
party's death warrant. Will 1t try to
cut out the reciprocity clauses? They
would doubtless like to do so, as it Is
the Republicans winning card, but
since they have declared it nothing but
free trade, the inconsistency of striking
at what they most desire in tariff legis-
lation becomes apparent About the
only thing left for them TO kick At is
the tin tariff. Now We have il. They
will pass a special bill to repeal the in
creased tin tariff. But before the House
can get fairly under motion the
manufacture Of American tin plates
will have become assured. and the
special bill will meet with deadly OPP
position in the Senate. The outlook
for Democratic tariff legislation is not
very fiattering. No wonder that Car
Isle hopes the Democrats will act in q
conservative manner. In no other way
can they save themselves from ridicule.
