NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.

Over against the Democratic howl
about deficiency in the United States
treasury, the Republicans can set the
calm, dispassionate business statements
OF Secretary Foster. He anticipates no
difficulty IN meeting the quarterly PEN
sion payments, aggregating S26, 900, 600,
which fall due early IN this month.
The available cash balance, short
time since, was nearly sl6, 900. 900 and
he estimated that this would be swelled
to more than s26. 900 900, by the early
part of this month, owing to the con-
tinued excess of receipts over expendi-
lures. He thinks that there will be no
necessity for calling in any government
deposits held by national banks TO
meet pension obligations. The secre-
tary is further quoted as saying that
while the matter is not altogether set
tied, il is likely that the department
will give the holders Of the $50, 900, 900
Al per cent. bonds outstanding an OPP
portunity TO renew those bonds after
September l at q reduced rate OF in

Of these bonds would doubtless prefer

BIGOTRY AND HEREsY.

DR.. Parkhurst, the friend and de-
fender of DR.. Briggs, preached an i'm
pressive sermon at the Fort-street Pres.
byterlan Church, IN Detroit, Sunday
morning. His Characterization of
bisotry and heresy is fine. lie says:
"Bigotry is the name We are likely to
give to the loyalty with which a man
devotes himself 10 some particular
aspect of nth that is not the same
aspect that we devote ourselves to.
Every thing IS peculiar till you have
seen 1t and gotten used to it. The
church could never dispense with what
at different points in its history has
been counted as orthodoxy, and just as
little could II dispense with what at diff
ferent points in its history has been
counted az heresies A hereto. not al

with tie truth, so that his interior eye

that sense orthodoxy always begins in

most arrant hereto of history. Heresy
Is orthodoxy in the bud; and orthodoxy
is he-esy become acclimsted."

SENATOR FRYE's REASONS.

Hon. William 2. Frye gives these
reasons to the American Economist
why he is protectionist: because
facts confront US, not theories. have
seen the wage-earners of Great Britain
and Continental Europe; know how
they live; that they are homeless and
laudless, as far as ownership is con-
cerned; that they are helpless and hope
less as to any brighter future tor them
selves or their children; that, IN their
scant wages their is no margin for mis-
fortune and sickness, pauperism being
the only refuge. / know that in this
Republic the prudent, temperate and
industrious worker is sure Of an
abundant reward; that his ambition to
succeed seldom meets with failure; that
lie owns land and home; that luxuries
to the European laborer are necessities
to the American. How can We then
compete with the former and MAINTAIN
our superiority IN this regard? Steam
and electricity have made of the world
one neighborhood, eliminating largely
the protection once afforded by time,
distance and transportation. There is
only one way of solving this problems:
Legislation for our own, a tariff for
Protection
