Why should any one say that a train

MARTIN MoNABAN.
There are eight national banks in Seat

United States depository in Seattle. This
bank has $4,000 in government bonds
deposited as security for the government
deposits and can accept deposits to that
amount. No interest is paid.
There is no profit to the banks in their
circulation; all the banks in the city have
taken our tho minimum amount of their
national bank notes, which is one-fourth
Of their capital stock. There is no money

ity and are Of no value to bank except 40

American home to the level of the house.
less street herds of China"
Mr.. Phillips knew that China was not
civilized state, but a denseiy populated
organized barbarixm, where q Chinese
worker lived cheaply because public
opinion allowed him to live on food civil
lied labor rejected with disgust. A China
man in China will breakfast on . salmi OF
field mice, dine on ragout of cat or dog
meat and sup on stew of sewer rats gar
nished with his inevitable boiled rice. To
ask why wages are low in such foul
feeding barbarism ought not to be neces-
sary for any intelligent, reflective man.
The Republican party accepts Mr.. Phil
lips plea against the importation of Chinese
labor or any other kind Of human freight,
and it accepts his plea for protection. for
both rest upon the clear right Of gov
eminent to defend society by appropriate
laws. We enforce restriction we call pro-
ction against free trade on products and
commodities on exactly the same broad
ground that We enforce restriction on the
purchase Of human labor. The Repub-
lican party is consistent with its policy OF
protection to American labor and wages
when it seeks to protect American labor
and wages against the unmitigated evil
of the importation of human freight or
contract immigration.

DECLINE IN BRITISH TRADE.

The British agricultural trade returns
show that 70 per cent. less land il now
devoted to wheat growing than twenty
years ago, and that the decrease ID still
going on. This year the decrease IL per
cent. last year 1t was per cent. Farm
laborers are no longer able to obtain work
at living wages. and are crowding the
cities in the vain hope Of finding employ
meut.
Manufactures are languishing under the
increased import of foreign articles, now
reaching 81. $50. 0O0. 900 . year. All of this
is imported free of duty, while home man
ufacturers are obliged to pay the internal
revenue taxes.
While foreign manufacturers are pushing
the English from their home market they
are also Wrestling from them the markets
of the world. For the first six months Of
1890 British exports were $685., 900 600; for
the same period in 1891 they were $780,
100000. while for the first half of 1892 they
fell to $780, 600 900. adecrease of SEQ, OOO. 600,
or nearly 10 per cent. in single half year.
The English are having an experience
with the new tariff in France similar TO
that with the Mckinley act. The exports
to France were in 1852 ofthe value of $l44,-
100000, and in 1880 SIPS ,OO0. 900, and for 1891
$i24, 600 600: and according to the returns
this year. the new French tariff having
been in effect only six months, the decline
will be much greater. On the other hand,
France exported to England in 1882 $685..
100000 worth of goods. and in ls9O $685..
100000; and the exports are largely in
creased this year. The London Economist
says: "The decrease in exports to France
and the increase In imports from that
country will, it is to be feared, be accen-
tuated in future years. The new French
tariff has only been in operation six
months. and English firms in certain
trades are already convinced that it is inn
possible to do business as hitherto. Some
have turned round selling French goods in
England instead of English goods in
France: others are selling in France the
same kind of goods of French manufact.
ure as they formerly imported. English
manufacturers are starting works in
France" This is precisely what has taken
place in the United States under the Nc
kinley act.

Professor David Swing.

lSpeclal OoIreepOnuence.l
CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Professor David
Swing is not SO much discussed in the
newspapers as he used TO be, but his
reputation and influence here are as
great as ever. Now about sixty, he still
draws crowds every Sunday to the Cen
trail Music hall, where his admirers and
followers assemble to hear his views on
liberal religion.
Many persons have already forgotten
that he filed, some twenty years ago, a
Presbyterian pulpit, that he was ar
raigned for heresy and that his trial
caused a profound commotion in the
ologic circles. During the trial one Of
the Chicago dailies published the print
tive Presbyterian creed, which was so
shocking to many members of the
church who had never read it before
that they doubted its authenticity at
first. When they found it to be entirely
correct they saw how any man might
be guilty of heresy without knowing it,
and thus learned much needed lesson
Of evangelical charity.
The jury having disagreed, Swing
chose to resign his pulpit rather than
undergo the trouble and annoyance of a
second trial, which would probably have
ended like the first He then setup an
independent society. which divided his
church, more than half its members, and
many Of the most prominent and intelli-
gent. adhering to him and his fortunes.
