lawyer. member OF the Massachusetts,
legislature for several consecutive terms,
and speaker of the state house of represen-
tatives, declining a proffered nomination
for congress that he might devote himself
exclusively to the Mexican Central railway,
of which enterprise he was the father as
already stated. He died a few weeks ago,
one of the best known and most successful
railroad magnates in this country, leaving a
large fortune which he had accumulated
within the past twelve years. The follow
ing expression Of his views was penned a
short time prior to his death:
reform is imperatively demanded in the
manner of conducting elections throughout
our country. The voter must be enabled to
vote for his convictions uninhuenced in any
way. Many voters are timid, week-kneed
men, who lack the firmness and moral cour-
age to withstand the pressure brought to
bear upon them at the polls by political
bosses. The Australian system removes
the voter from all outside influence at the
time OF casting his ballot, and for that rea-
son, if for no other, I must approve it.
THE election of United States senator by
the people would remove the most disgrace
full feature of American politics-the de-
Hberate purchase of senatorial seats by
wealthy men who buy up legislators like
cattle. Popular election of senators must
come speedily. Yours truly,
LEVI C. WADE"

Hon. David Is. Hill, governor of New
York and United States senator-elect from
that state, is not so enthusiastic an adyo-
cate of the Australian system, as will be
seen below:
MANY a1e now urging the adoption Of
the Australian system of voting as 4 PAN
acea for all the pernicious practices which
surround our elections. Now, it does not
follow that because the Australian system
seems to be well adapted to the govern
mentS of England and Australia it can be
appropriately applied to our institutions
without its material notifications. Those
governments are founded upon the theory
that the state should perform every service
it can perform, while the true theory of our
institutions is that the state should do
nothing that can be better or Us well done
by the free and untrammcled action of the
individual citizen. To rest the greatest
control ana power of interference in the
government is the object Of their laws,
while the intent of ours is 10 confer upon
the people the largest liberty and the great
est personal privileges consistent with the
public welfare 1t should also be remem-
bered that universal suffrage does not exist
in Australia and Great Britain, but the
election systems there are based upon a re-
strictcd suffrage.
That this difference of conditionsEs rec
ognized by the friends of the Australian
system in this country is shown by the fact
that the system, in its entirety, has not
been adopted by any state in the Union.
Several states have enacted what is called
the Australian system, but only after mate
rial and vital notifications. This adoption
by various states of different features of
the system appears to have produced a
confused impression in the public mind as
10 what the system really is.
No man realizes more thoroughly than l
the necessity for guarding the purity and
secrecy of our election system, but with
regard TO the Australian system my opinion
is, that while many of its distinguishing
features are admirable, others are decid-
edly Objectionable, constitutionally and
otherwise.
No man or set of men possesses copy
right upon ballot reform. What che peo-
pie want is not system peculiarly suited
10 foreign lands, but an American system,
adapted to our own free institutional
system which encroaches upon no just priv
ilegeS, and which offers a practical, not
theoretical, solution of the evils that con-
front US. Whatever system is adopted
should be applied TO all elections-general,
municipal and local. l favor compelling
every voter to enter private compartment
to examine or prepare his ballot, whence he
shall proceed directly to the ballot box IN
attended by any one. Respectfully yours,
DAVID B. HILL"

The Foreign Element.

The New York papers in discussing the
emigrant subject, which is becoming a
cause of alarm in this country, occupy a
singular and rather pitiable position
Gotham, with her large foreign popula
tion, and acknowledged to be under the
control of that clement, finds her other
wise out spoken journals afraid of the
spectre of political influence, one side or
the other, and cutting corners here and
there to please the American idea, and
not hurt the German, the Irish and the
other "oppressed' who come to these
shores. Germany is unloading on this
country vast army of her socialistic and
infdel fire brands Russia is adding to
this unsolicited class her Nihilists, while
France is doing its share in the common
nuisance of unloading Communists and
infdels to the gangs already here by the
thousands. This question should be
freely and fully discussed, not from the
stand point Of know-nothingism, but the
one of maintaining our Republican insti-
tutions in the face of this great and
growing influx of the classes which have
so disturbed the peace and quiet of the
Old World. The matter should be settled
now and for all time to como.

Grimn'S ReVOlution

An individual who signs himself Alfred
Griffin, is, though early in the action,
supplying "political tracts for the " ed
ucational party's" campaign in 1892.
This writer, sends two columns from
Washington to the New York Tribune
which he heads political revolution,' .
and which contains perhaps more mis-
statements to the square inch than any
paper of it's character ever before issued
by any party. He attempts to show that
the possibilities of carrying all the South
ern States for the Republican party fol-
the next Presidency are among the pos
sibilities. Indeed, he attempts to show
that North Carolina of the "Uppel
South" as he calls it, is already falling
in line, and that by 1892, with careful
nursing and a more unit feeling of hif
party in the North, the work will be
DONE If Mr.. Griffin is in the fortune tel
ling business, and has hit high in his prog
nostications as a good medium, advertis
ing himself, then he is smart, but if ht
is engaged in any other business, it were
| we'll for him either to sell it out, or &c
out of the prophecying line, particularly
| the political part that makes his "po
litical revolution" subject of his
| thought.

C0tton's Decline.

Look at the present price of cotton,
with it's weak undertone, and think of the
planters whose expenses for this coming
crop are based upon about nine cents for
the staple. Steadily since last October
the price has been going down, and in the
face of all Of this we regret to know that
many of our near-about farmers have
cotton stored away for rise. 1t will
never come, it is said by we'll posted
dealers: at least not to the extent Of ever
getting present holders prices, which
they might have gotten three months
ago. A history of disaster, bad judgment
and speculation. Our farmer friends, il
is to be hoped, will profit by their ex
perience, SO dearly bought, and be con.
tent with marketing their products as
they are ready for sale History in this
matter repeats itself. Loss of interest
chance of fire and anxiety, all against
them, but they will make the one, risk
the other and suffer from the last. The
planter is not intended by divine laws te
be speculator, nor is there any human
logic why he should be- He sacrifices
his independence at the shrine of nam
mon, he surrenders his freedom, when ht
becomes slave to the want of "more
money"

This Billions Dollar Country.

When the people complain that the late
Congress expended a Billion Dollars, the
Secretary of the Treasury makes answer
that we are a "billion-dollar country" and
the answer seems smart one to many
and good one to some. Let us examine
it for a moment.
The billion dollars which Congress ex-
pended was almost entirely the product
of taxes, gathered from the people. Now,
if it were ever justification for extrav a.
gance in government that we have rich
people, it must also be show that these
taxes come from the abundance of the
rich and not from the necessities of the
poor.
Did the "Billion Dollar Congress get
the money it spent from the property and
the income of the billionnaires" or from
the bellies and backs of the laborers and
| the farmers
An examination of the Tariff and of
the sources of revenue shows that this
money was raised, not by taxes on the
accumulated property of the country,
nor yet upon the income ofits prosperous
people, but mainly upon the plain neces
saries of life and the necessaries of labor.
Nay, more, it will show that in nearly
every instance the tariff taxes are so
adjusted as to throw heavier rates upon
the common grades of articles consumed
by the poor than upon the better and
more luxurious grades which well to do
people can and do purchase. Broadcloth
is taxed less in proportion than common
woollen goods, and common woollen
goods much less than cotton warp goods.
1t will also show that out of the taxes
thus imposed much the larger part goes
into the pockets of the Tariff bcnefi
Charles, while the Government as junior
partner gets the smaller share.
Ifit be true that this is "a billion. dollar
country" as the Secretary says, let him
tell US who own the. billions and who
pay the taxes for Congress to spend. Are
they not different persons? Until he can
devise some means -of getting these taxes
from the property of the country and not
from it's wants from the income of the
prosperous and not from the consumption
of the masses, his answer is not only
irrelevant, it is cruel mocking.-C Congress
