ROME, April 1S.-Much anxiety is felt

for the Supreme Bench.
Chicago Herald, April 18th.
All the Democratic members of the ma
tional commission Monday morning
united in an address to President Harrison
asking him to appoint George V. Massey
of Delaware to succeed the late Justice
Bradley in the United States supreme
Court. Mr. Massey is Republican. The
action of his Democratic colleagues was
not known to him until after the address
had been forwarded to Washington. In
the two years that the commissioner from
Delaware has been identified with the
Worlds Fair his judgment on legal
proposition has never been assailed, even
by such eminent jurists as Judge Lindsay
of Kentucky, Judge st. Clair of West Vir-
ginia and Judge Harris of Virginia. Mr.
Massey has not always been OH the popu-
lar side of questions before the board, but
If he has not always been on the right side
the fact has not been developed.
General Il. b. Smalley, the Democratic
commissioner from Vermont, said of Mr.
Massey He is the only Republican ever
knew to whom | would, without hesita-
ton, submit political question in which
my political interests were at stake. know
that Mr.. Masscy's decision would be abso-
lutely just"
As a member of the board of control
Mr.. Massey has rendered great service to
the exposition. A large portion of his
time during the last year has necessarily
been spent in Chicago. Recently he came
within one vote of being elected United
States senator from Delaware. Mr.. Massey
never works or travels OH Sunday.

Two Views ofProtection.

Close On to the deplorAble scenes
recently enacted at Homestead, II
may be well to recapitulate-to draw
a lesson or two, especially on the eve
of presidential campaign when the
workingman has it within his power
to rise up and throttle the vampire
that so persistently holds him by the
throat. The following two views OF
protection may serve as an eye-opener.
The first is reproduced from the
legalized robber the Mckinley tariff
bill; the latter is a rather vivid
reminder of the scenes enacted at
Homestead Penn, the place where
Carnegie has madea a net profit of some
s., ,OOO, 900 per annum for many years
past, yet he deemed it bis duty to
reduce wages from Is to so per cent.
The most ignorant cannot fail to
correctly compare the two "protec-
tions" and see the point:

THE Jackson Herald says one of the
county's largest sheep growers paid
that office a call last week and COM
planned bitterly of the new sheep law.
It's operation works an injustice to the
wool grower, for, if sheep were to be
killed in the middle of September 1892,
their owner would not receive one cent
of compensation until Sept, 1922 and,
if he were poor man, would thereby
suffer greatly from being deprived by
law of that which was his own. Every
man, whether rich or poor, if he loses
sheep by dogs, loses the use of his own
for great length of time, and neither
receives compensation for the loss, nor
can he in any way turn that which
represents his dead or damaged sheep
into money until the county COM
missioners act at their regular meeting
in September. The law Is bad one
in this respect, but is about on par
with most of last winters reckless
legislation.

WE see it in print, that by a law
passed by the last Legislature, every
road supervisor and street commission
er in the State is authorized to cut
down and remove all cherry and plum
trees in his district that is afflicted with
the "black knot" The cost of doing
this work will be paid out of the county
fund when allowed by the county COM
missioners. The cost then will be
placed on the duplicate and taxed
against the property from which the
diseased trees were removed.

WhyIt A sham.

Republieanjo journals profess great in
dignation because the democratic plat
form denounces their so called Hreci-
proeity" as q sham. They point TO in
creased exports of our breadstuffs and
other natural products and ask farmers
to consider what reciprocity has
wrought.
Yet IL is q sham:
i. Because 1t claims credit for a
market created by short crops abroad,
when it does not apply at all to the
largest takers of our exports.
z. Because IL was an afterthought
and Is no part ofthe protection schem.
The Republican leaders saw that they
had got to repeal or reduce some taxes
or go to the wall. They chose the
home tax on sugar because the home
products of that article is chiefly in
Louisiana, q Democratic state. But
the Republican house, following Nc
Kinley and Reed, contemptuously
waved aside Mr.. Blaine's reciprocity
idea, and the Tariff bill passed the
House without it, free sugar and all.
1t was only when Mr.. Blaine depounc.
ed the measure that the saving clause
was added.
3. 1t Is sham because it INTAKES
foreigners on hundred necessary ar
ticles, without abating in the least one
of these taxes for our own people.

To find out just how the foreigner

Kinley which explains point very
lucidly:
Hon. William McKinteg
DEAR SIR:-I read your speeches in
the House of Representative during
the Fifty-frst Congress when the
tariff bill was under discussion, in
which you asserted and made me
believe that the foreigners paid our
taxes. I also read your speech as
presiding officer of the Republican
National Convention at Minneapolis,
in which you asserted again that the
foreigner paid our taxes. My mother
sent me dozen pairs of socks from
Ireland few days ago, each pair being
worth about 20 cents. My cousin, who
brought them to me, had to pay %
cents pair tariff duties on he socks
at the New York Custom House. Will
you please be kind enough to tell me
to what foreign government / shall
apply to have that So refunded: II the

what foreign government to apply,

IMPORTERS of Australian goods are
up in arms at the director of the mint
for suddenly deciding that in comput-
ing the value of the Australian florin
on invoices in the payment of custom
duties the gold standard of value in
Australia is to be taken. In other
words, instead of paying duties on the
bs sis of the Austrian florin being
worth only between, 32c and 33c the
form is to be reckoned as being worth
48.2c, and duty paid on that basis.
This ruling, it is said, if carried out,
means loss of hundreds of thousands
of dollars to the importer on this
years business-as much as 100000
to one firm, and the possible bank
ruptcY of some of the smaller houses.
