beautiful in its season, has not left the night without charm. The moon rules the night. The stars are only set as gems in her tiara. Sometimes, before the sun has gone down, the moon mounts her throne, but it is after nightfall that she sways her undisputed scepter over island and continent, river and sea. Under her shining the plainest maple leaves become shivering silver, the lakes from shore to shore look like shining mirrors, and the ocean, under her glance, with great tides comes up painting upon the beach, mingling, as it were, foam and fire.
 Under the witchery of the moon the awful steeps lose their ruggedness and the chasms their terror. The poor man blesses God for throwing so cheap light through the broken window pane of his cabin, and to the sick it seems like light from the other shore that bounds this great deep of human pain and woe. If the sun be like & song, full and loud and poured forth from brazen instruments that fill heaven and earth with harmony, the moon is plaintive and sad, standing beneath the throne of God, sending up her soft, sweet voice of praise, while the stars listen and the seal No mother ever more lovingly watched sick cradle than this pale watcher of the sky bends JAer the weary, heartsick, slumbering earth, singing to 1t silvery music, while it is rocked in the cradle of the spheres.
 ''FAIR AS THE MOON" ..
 Now, says my text, "Who is she, fair as the moon?" Our answer is the church. Like the moon, she is borrowed light. She gathers up the glory of Saviour's sufferings, 8 Saviour's death, 8 Saviour's resurrection, Saviour's ascension, and pours that light on palace and dungeon, on squalid heathenism and elaborate skepticism, on widows tears and mar tyr's robe of flame, on weeping peni- tence and loud mouthed scorn.

IAxES AND PRICES.
The False Reasoning Of the Devotees of
the Protection Faliacy.

Universal business stagnation has
forced down the prices of cotton, wool.
iron and other staple articles below the
average for many years, aSd some Of
the more reckless protectionist journals.
willing to impose upon the credulity of
their readers, have ascribed the prevail.
ing cheapness to the operation of the
Mckinley tariff. AS the tariff could be
Of no advantage unless it should increase
the price of manufactured stuffs. and as
the drop in prices in foreign markets has
been concurrent with depreciation here,
no one has been deceived into the belief
that high tariffs bring low prices except
the dupes who are the victims of their
own ignorance.
OF this class, evidently. is Mr.. J. T.
Williams, who writes to The Record
from Charlotte, Mich, how much cheap
er goods are in 1S92 than they were in
1899, and says that he has heard "that
cotton ties, now made exclusively in this
country of steel, are selling 90 per cent.
less than when they were on the free
list" Under the tariff Of 1893 cotton
ties were not free; they paid duty of
3j per cent. ad valorem. The duty is
now IL cents per pound on ties in a
finished or partly finished state. But
Mr.. Williams is evidently ready to be-
lieve that the process of taxing an article
tends to cheaper it, and he is also will
ing to ascribe to beneficent taxation the
effects of overproduction, stagnation and
sweeping commercial disaster.
How is it possible to deal with the
Williamses and to lift them from the
depths Of protectionist superstition?-

Not a Statistical Congress.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Phila.

cause it hasn't devoted itself to the task
of trying to pile up statistics. What
has been done during the winteryr asks
this Philadelphia mourner. What is
likely to be done in the immediate fu-
ture?"
What is necessary to be done except
to pass the appropriation bills and keep
them down 10 economical figures? The
house will consider the tariff question
thoroughly. There has been and will be
plenty Of discussion. The country is
not pining for legislation. In fact, it
suffers from too much legislation. But
even if under and not over legislation
were the rule, the house could accom-
plish little, the senate and the presi-
dency being in Republican hands.
The house is all right. The country
remembers from the example of the bill
lion congress how dangerous, how med
dlesome and how expensive is congress
run on the theory that a pile of legisla-
ton is good thing. The more CONVEX
sation and the less legislation there is in
congress, the better, usually, and the
cheaper for the people.
The Fifty-second congress is all right.

received his reward. President Har-
rison's appointment of this man to be
circuit justice has been confirmed by the

character to seal the presidents action
with the stamp of infamous political
jobbery. He had the debt to pay, and
hesitating long he at length met the OBJ

able evidence that few--a very few, to
be sure-of the Republicans of that body
entertained sense of honor that would
not bend. even before the ignoble impor-
tunities of the administration.
Harrison was in tight place. A fail
ure of the senate to coSfrm his appoint

Something must be done. The matter
was accordingly made strict party

selves, not willing to oppose, but unable
to support the measure undertaken by

of our nations chief executive STOPPING
from his high place and, potent through

ors the man who shielded this cowardly
crime.
