HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.
rom the Irish World. J

FOul NV llios WILMA 5s Z EEe-. .tSG l
The tariff platform adopted by tho
Democratic Convention OH June %
furnishes striking illustration Of the |
saying, "History repeats ITSELF" On
March II, 1861, the Constitution Of
the Confederate States was adopted.
Article I, section 8, clause 1, reads:
1.-THE Congress shall have power to
lay and collect taxes, duties, and ex-
cises for revenue only, necessary to
pay the debts, provide for the COM
mon defense and carry on the Govern
ment of the Confederate States, but
no bounties shall be granted from the
Treasury; nor shall any duties or
taxes on importations from foreign
nations be laid to promote or foster
any branch of industry"
There is no installing the meaning
of this. 1t was constitutional pro-.
vision making Free Trade the fixed
policy of the Confederate States. II
the war for the preservation of the
Union had ended in the way En-
gland desired the people of the South
would to-day be living under Free
Trade Constitution. That, however,
was not to be. The cause of Free
Trade went down at ppAo mattox.
Not until the advent of the Cleveland
Administration did it again play a
prominent part in OUT politics. From
that time the Free Traders became
holder and holder, until at last they
have reached a point where they feel
themselves strong enough to plant
themselves fairly and squarely on a
platform that is essentially the same
as the section Of the clause of the
Confederate Constitution we have
quoted.
Here is the Tariff plank adopted at
Chicago: 1--WE declare it to be a
fundamental principle of the Demo
cratic party that the Federal Govern
ment has no constitutional power to
enforce and collect Tariff duties OK
cept for the purpose of revenue only
Does not this sound like an echo OF
the Conferate Constitution The
trainers of that Constitution committed
the South to the declaration that "the
Congress shall have power to lay and
collect taxes, duties, and excuses fol
revenue only" The phraseology il
almost iden teal with the wording Of
the Tariff plank adopted at Chicago
on June %.
The confederate Government, witt
the aid of England, tried by force o.
arms to carry out its "Tariff-for
revenue" policy. This same policy
the Democratic party is now trying
to foist upon the country through thu
ballot box. If it should succeed i
would earn the gratitude of England
who is every bit as anxious to hav'
the Democratic party triumph as sh'
was to see the Confederacy win thirty
years ago. She is interested in tn
Democracy as she was interested il
the Confederacy, because she recog
nizes that British trade would b.
benefited by decisive victory TO
the "TariE- for-revenue only policy
What are we to think Of the pc
litical platform that gladdens tn
heart Of our greatest commercial
rival?

The Transittom o. Electrical Theories.

The Transition OF Electrical Theories.
To the question. What is electricity
which is often asked. no absolute and
satisfactory answer has yet been found.
Notwithstanding the wonderful develop
ment Of electrical applications, cleo
tricians are still feeling their way IL to
the nature and many of the principles
Of the operation of the mighty force that
they are learning to control This was
suggestively shown by Il remark made
by the vice president Of the American
institute of electrical engineers at the
annual convention of that body
The speaker claimed that the present
theories of electricity should be regard
ed merely as stepping stones to more
comprehensive and satisfactory ones
He contended that modern theories Of
electrical phenomena, if adopted a. an
absolute framework of all our knowi
edge Of these subjects, may, in Il few
years, become prison bars that will pre-
vent the mind from making a free and
unprejudiced investigation Of new theo
ries and new phenomena. and giving
due weight and significance III the gen
eral science Of electricity to the results
obtained by the most recent experiment.

Powers & Dwyer. The balance OF the
timber, with the exception of small
tract, has now been sold to the Pine

area of Holland and Egypt, and is des-

and the incentives of self government to
build fabric of society moro opulent
and enduring. Add to this the inex-
haustible alluvion Of the streams above.
and the fertile prairies from which they
descend, and the arithmetic of the past
has no logarithms with which to CON-
pute the problems Of the economic and

be predominant in the development, not
of this country alone, but of the he1nis-
