To the Edtors Of the Ne,rs:
The Rev. Mr.. Hudson says that l ''po-
litely call him a liar" i give him my
best bow for this recognition of my po-
likeness. i could not call a man a liar In
any other than apolite way. ! was trained
to- politeness. A Chriastian gentleman Is
always autocrat of good manner and
good morals. Come to think of It, i
never yet said to u man, You are n liar;"
not that l am q coward, but l do not use
cuss words.
Well, l am not going to give my Bap-
fist brother clergyman the lie now, but |
am going to distinctly challenge his lead
ing p~ostulate in his article in reply to
mine, in the NEWS. And i may say In
regard to his other statements, while they
may be true as isolated facts they do not
prove the main proposition, that the Re-
publican party Is q license party, much
less that Il originated the license policy
as a system Of regulating the liquor
traffic.
MI. Hudson will certainly not think me
ment at his assertion that the Republican
party is the author of the license system.
Third party men will scarcely thank him
for that blunder. Why, he must be wild
to say that. He out-herods Herod. With
a modicum Of knowledge OF history no
man would perpetrate such a deed. Why,
license has been In existence in Rhode
Island In one form or another, over $50
wears: and throughout the nation ante
dates the organization of the Republican
party by many, many years. 1t Is a
charity to say that the reverend gentle
man made that statement In ignorance
rather han in malace.
He will excuse me IL after such q speci-
men of bold assertiOn-untrue to history
Il feel there Is little in his reply to carry
conviction to candid, intelligent minds.
As the space Of the NEWS is crowded
now ] will only add that my brother Of
the cloth can make out a worse case
against the church, as to completely with
Republican party, by the same Gpplica-
ton of theories and facts. Now, when he
will leave the church l can credit him for
consistency, as In leaving a party.

Eek; AND wHYs

At his spe ech in Providence last Sat-
urday afternoon, ex-Gov. Campbell
of Ohio-observe the sex" please ; a
gentleman named Mckinley is Governor
now-made this remarkable statement I:
The lowest tariff era in the history of
the country since the war of 1912 was
from 1919 TO 1851, and IL was the greatest
era OF prosperity.
Before the false words were uttered.
by one Of those fortunate chances which
will occur, the News wa upon the
street containing its refutation in ad-
vance, 70 far as Providence was con-
cerned, in n carefully compiled article
based upon official records and showing
these facts:
At the time when the second greatest
Eek" says our country was so prosper
Gus masons and carpenters were work
ing at wardwell wages, seventy-fve
cents q day, in winter. Provisions and
clothing were much higher than now.
The city's expense for charity rose
from $500 a year to go, 900 besides pri-
vate munificence.
Soup houses were established at pub
lie expense.
Smith Hill was partly graded and the
cove partly filed by men working at 75
cents a day-married men having first
chance-as a measure of relief.
The only CLEAN of prosperity in the
years 1s46-'6i was caused by the dis
covery OF gold. The feverish specula-
ton which it caused was unnatural and
unheAlthful. II made fortunes for q

THE BEAUTIES OF 1T.

Under a Democratic low tariff, says
ex-Gov. Campbell, the cost of labor was
% cents in every 81 worth of manufac-
tured goods, while now, under a higher
tariff, labor is a factor of but II cents in
the dollar.
But meanwhile wages have gone up
greatly and the prices of manufactured
goods have gone down.
Assuming the ext Governors figures to
be correct. they show how marvelously
productive processes have been cheap
ened and improved in this country, when
higher wages and lower prices go with
them. Protection is a great system.

THE FREE PARLIAMENT.
President Andrews.


To the Editors oS the Netu:
Brown University is endowed with
funds b~equoathe6 or given to IL by men
who achieved prosperity and made the
communities which they built up happy
and prosperous, through the assistance Of
a protective tariff. 1t is supported to-day
by just such men who are sending their
sons there to be educated. And day by
day the president of that institution is
teaching the sous of such men that their
fathers are fools or hypocrites, and OH
Saturday last he jourpeyed to New Lon
don to welcome TO this State the chief
apostle OF free trade, and sat on the plat
form with him at the Providence Opera
House and appiauded his u~tterances.
1t would seem to plain, practical people
that the community might view with
tolerable resignation the acceptance by
DIR. Andrews Of the offer recently made to
him by the Chicago University. II his de-
parture should result in placing at the
head of the college which is the pride OF
our State q protectionist who would up
hold the principles which have made us
prosperous. At present there Is too much
free theory up ON the hill.

In respect to drawing q crowd it was
a great success, but the "collaterals"

ton and expressions of disappointment
are loud and frequent that it found no
place in his address. The inference is.
that at present he has no standing

find that we r gradually getting it

the address ; of curse there is a lot of
advice in it which could be given with
out offence to his hearers and followed
without harm, but not q single idea.
In striking contrast are the. addresses of
the Republican speakers-full of vir-
ility, bristling with facts and proved by
figures indisputable, while the prophet
solemnly reiterates his customary plati-
tudes and relies upon his ponderous Dig
nifty to make up for the lack Of matter.

The action Of the Providence Journal,
after sever years of apostasy, in sup
porting a portion Of the candidates of
its old party in this springs election has
naturally puzzled some of its readers,
and many are the theories advanced to
account for 1t, ranging from the sus
picion of bribery to the suspicion of alb
ject fear of the News growing hold
upon its old constituency.
/. Whatever may be the cause of the
Journals inconsistent wisdom, it is not
necessary to conclude that its real atti-
tude has changed in the least. It's pur-
pose in this campaign, though pursued
in q somewhat different manner, is pre-
cisely the same as that of the imported
journalism Of the World, and even of
the discredited ex-organ of the minority
faction of the Democrats here in Provi-
dence. One and all they expect to see
Aldrich elected Senator. One and all
they hope to prevent the election by the
people of the Republican State ticket.
One and all, they will boast of it as a
splendid victory il by any chance they
can throw the election of State officers
into the Legislature, and on the strength
of it claim Rhode Island as a doubtful
State in a Presidential year with the
tariff rs an issue. BY acquiescing in the
now certain success Of Aldrich the
Journal cannot harm the cause of free
wool. BY creating in the minds Of it's
readers the impression that the State
election Is an affair Httic conse-
quence, only the choice of a seattle
show Commissioners, it may, so it fondly
reasons, earn the right afterward to
claim for the sacred cause of free wool
for its principal owners mills q grand
victory. Don't believe the journal
when it calls a spring election in Presi-
Dental year unimportant. 1t is not SO
silly. 1t wishes to mislead, to cause
apathy, to create factional difficulties
among the Republicans which shall rem
der Rhode Island an easy prey to the
harpies of free trade. In a certain con-
tingency, skillfnlly indicated by a writer
in the current Century, Rhode Islands
vote may become decisive next fall.
The Journal wishes TO leave no stone
turned to throw that electoral vote for
free wool.
Other motives must influence the
Journol-such as its desire to be re-
venged on the Democratic leaders who
laugh at its advice, its unreasoning spite
against President Andrews as a Sena-
torial possibility, and a desire to partly
placate the readers who are fast desert
ing il for the more wholesome political
counsels of the News. But 1t has not
changed, it viii not change, its main
policy until free wool is an accomplished
act, or until certain valuable mill
property in Rhode Island changes hands.
There is one way to defeat the mach.
nations of the free wool Journal, the
imported slanderers from New York
and the lame duck here in Providence.
