but ifyou are right in supposing
that the subject is related to the

lists which makes such private
and personal considerations en-
tirely irrelevant, / can not refrain
from declaring to you that my
experience in the great Office of
President of the United States,
has so impressed me with the So
lemnity of the trust and it's aw-
tul responsibility that l can not
bring myself to regard the candi-
! dacy for the place as something

| have been sincere in my con-
stant advocacy of the effective

not admit them to free trade

yances in the payment Of

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

From our Regular Correspondent.
Senator Hill returned from
his Southern trip yesterday,
and whatever effect it may
have had upon his Presiden-
tial prospects, one cannot
doubt alter hearing his en-
thusiastic description of the
hospitable reception he met
with everywhere he wentthat
it was one of the most enjoy-
able trips he ever made. The
Senator says that the sensa-
ti0nal stories about his hav-
ing attempted to dicta te to
the democratic members OF
the ilouse Committee on b.
lections how t h ey should
vote in the New York con-
tested election case of Noyes
VS. Rockwell, which has been
reported in favor of Noyes,
therepublican contestants t,are
absurd. Personally he would
like to see Rockwell keep the
seat, but he has no doubt
that the committee acted on
the evidence produced before
it in deciding against him,
and he has no criticism to
make. This knocks a big
hole in one the most sensa.
tional stories Of the session.
The free wool bill will bf
laid aside in the House unit
after the free coinage bill is
disposed of, which will be this
week, according to the orig
inal resolution. There was
considerable talk $ evera
days ago OF an extension by
agreement OF the silver de
bate, but nothing came Of it
because a majority seemed
to think such an extension
entirely unnecessary, as it il
not probable that any a
mount of debate would result
in the change OF one single
votp.
There is another clash be
tween Secretary Noble ant
| Commissioner Of Pensions

rent that Mr.. Noble informed
Mr.. Harrison that he mus

The Doctrine of Protection, Continued,
BY CHARLES CARTER, NJ. D.

al reasons Tor protection to
consist of first, the guaran-
tee, growing out Of the Dec
laration of independence, OF
life, liberty and the pursuit
Of happiness, and secondly,
that in this age of the worlds
progress, and in this scountly
all Our.people should be sur
rounded from infancy with
all the conditions favorable
10 their full ply sical, mental
and m ra | development.
Take for instance one fact--
medical science has demons
trated that the physical well
being of the individual, de-
lnands certain amounts and
kinds O; suitable food. The
requirements of different Pc
riods of life and in presence
OF physical labor and other
wise. have been shown. In
vestigations Of far-reaching
character are being pushed
in other fields and many
knotty problems will be solv-
ed in economies. Erelong we
will know more fully what
constitutes tho ogospel ofsood
health, good food, 60 o d
houses, etc.
The doctrine Of protection
lis, | think, most intimately
related to such a gospel. Our
youth OF both sexes upon ar
ri, al at suitable age. should
have a training of hand and
brain to fit them for a call
/ ingisa employment that will
enabl them, when grown,
to maintain themselves, and
those that may become de.
pendant upon them. Physi,
cal and mental well being
does not require over six to
eight hours severe physical
or brain toll. The balance OF
the "a hours should be as
Signed to intellectual pur-
suits, pleasures and sleep.
From such an amount OF Ia
bor a sufficient surplus should
accrue to adequately provide
for all Imperative needs grow
ing out of a well ordered ply
sical, mental and moral well
being.
In order to form and ac-
complish these objects it is
necessary to have diversified
industries; aud a great diver
sion OF labor, to the very
} fullest extent in communities
and throughout thecountrv,
TO maintain and foster such
varied industries ard manu-
features every community
should avail themselves tc
the extent possible OF the pre-
tective laws OF the State and
the United States. Every
possible endeavor should bt
made to inaugdrateindustri
: al pursuits for the benefit o
the whole community. ] vii
