advanced in years DR.. Scott gave up the
college work and coming to Washington
he was appointed to clerkship in the in
terror department, which position he held
until the advent in Washington of Presi-
dent Harrison, when he resigned and took
up his abode at the White house. Here
he was surrounded with every comfort and
led happy, contented and tranquil ex-
istenee. DR.. Scott was always the first
riser of the presidents household. AL
though lie always had a carriage at his
disposal he scarcely ever used it, prefer
ring to walk. He attended to large cor

"REFoRM" MEANS FREE TRADE.

The Tariff performer" Will Never be Salts
fed Till Everything is Free-Then VIII
Come the Income observation-disclosures
Must X eep Watch and Prevent Any Leg
islation Whatever by the Free Traders.
Experience goes to prove that the de-
mand for tariff reform" cannot be APP
peased by any concession short of abso-
lutte surrender of the protective princi-
pie. 1t must be met and silenced by
overwhelming defeat whenever and
wherever opportunity offers, for as the
more candid among agitators freely ad-
nit, it is a tariff repeal toward which
they are pressing, and without which
they will decline to be satisfied.
Although the existing tariff law places
more dollars worth of imports on the
free list than was proposed by the
much-lauded Mills bill-and while there
is nothing the average family needs to
buy that is not now cheaper than under
any former law-there is no abatement
in the demand for tariff reform" And
none need be expected so long as the
utmost demand of the Golden school of
economists is not complied with e.,
free trade for every article in the sup
ply of which foreigners may desire to
compete. Proof of this can be found in
the fact that self-styled 'reformers"
just as vigorously denounce the Nc
| Kinley tariff, relocating to the free
list one-half of all imports, as they OPP
posed preceding legislation in which
| the number of dutiable articles was
more than double that of to-day. They
are no better pleased with the tariff of
! Sl1 per ton on steel rails than they were
with the SIT eXacted by the former law.
They have no word of commentator
for the reduction of IS per cent. to so
per cent of the tariff on most kinds OF
lumber, on nails, and long list of
metal wares. In short, they refuse to
be comforted so long as foreigners are
required to pay anything whatever for
the privilege of competing in the mar
kets of this country. Their silence as
to the provision for reciprocity in trade
with friendly nations seems properly
traceable to the fact of opposition be-
cause foreigners are thereby compelled
to concede some of their selfish de-
mands for commercial privileges that
cost them nothing
Argument seems wasted on the av-
erage free trade shouter. The only
safe course is to ignore his demand and
continue to shape our economic legisla-
ton with view to steady and profit
able employment of the labor and re-
sources of the country, thereby insuring
national independence so far as nature,
aided by the energy and ingenuity of
our people, render such independence a
possibility.

FACTS AND FINDINGS.

In Washington are 10000 young
men, but less than 5000 of them are
members of churches. On single
evening 1853 young men entered ten
churches, prayer meetings, and the
same evening, in one hour 365 entered
ten of the 1000 saloons licensed by our
government under the shadow of the
capitol.
The undergraduates o. Cambridge,
Eng, have taken to thinking tea
after dinner instead of wine. But
though novel at Cambridge this prac-
tice has been in vogue @ Oxford for
seventy years, the innovation having
been brought about by Newman and
Froude, even then famous, who induced
most of the other fellows of Oriel to
give up wine in the common-room after
dinner and substitute tea.
THE London Standard, in an article
upon the French experts in the
adulteration of liquors, declares that
there is scarcely any genuine wine or
brandy in the market. 1t cites the
testimony in case of litigation in the
IICHCl Coui NliltiI ohoNo blO
art of initiating the brandy distilled
from grapes is now SO perfect that
only by analysis can it be discovered
to be an imposture. 1t adds that M.
Jacquemin, an cnterprising French
man, 'has succeeded in producing de.
licious wines without any grapes at
all" This is perplexing dilemma
for wine drinkers A good way out Of
it is to drink no wine at all
HENRY A. HART, NJ. d., says:
drunkenness is voluntary lunacy,
which causes three-fourths of the
crimes of violence, and, exclusive Of

which the people groan. If the doors
of all the insane asylums in the land
were thrown open and the whole army
of Involuntary lunatics We're let loose

GOV, M'KINLEY,

The Issue in the Recent ohio Election
Protection VS.. Free phatiC
Endorsement of Protection by the Plu-
rality Given to the Author of the New
Tariff Bill.
In the entire series of recent state
campaigns, that of Ohio was the only
one in which was prominently brought
to the front the issue between protec'
ton and self-styled reform" In other
states the success or defeat of candi-
dates can be traced to local considera,
tions, which failed to align either of the
great political parties on distinct
national issue, or to call from either its
fullest possible vote.
Not so in Ohio. There the issue was
boldly made by putting to the front the
author of the avowedly protective law
now in force, indorsing the spirit OF
that measure in the convention plat.
form, and extolling it's results by
speeches in every neighborhood of the
state. opposed to Maj. Mckinley was
prominent statesman, who hac
avowedly severed former party affilia
tons by reason of his preference for the
non protective policy of Golden, Cleve
land & Co., and who proclaimed the
virtues of his recently acquired faitf
with the proverbial earnestness of the
new convert.
And the result was the same that has
invariably characterized the decision O
American voters whenever the question
! 4 I
the free use of our markets for foreign
competitors has been passed upon. 4
vast majority of American voters be
lieve in protection, and can be relied OF
to so vote, when led to believe that tn
protective features of our turiff law
are in danger of repeal or such modifi
cation as will rob them of their recog
nized efficacy The overwhelming ma
jority for Mckinley in Ohio is but ad
ditional evidence of fact that find
emphasis in every page of political his
tory whereon is recorded the untram
lneled expression of American voters.
1t would be impossible to secure 70
the tariff question more prominence i
political campaign than was given t
it by the platform and canvass of No
Kinley in Ohio, and it seems equally i'm
possible to ignore the significance c

protection to home industries was Their
