Tax for Private Benefit.

The protectionist says that the IA, 500
protected mill owners, authorized by
law to yearly tax the people for their
private benefit sum equal to twice
the national debt, do not collect any of
it. The deluded victims of this pro-
lection bunco believe that, while Quay,
Dudley and Raum are saints in lawn,
these protected mill owners, to man,
are saints in crepe, who would not use
the tariff for their own private benefit;
that the power given them is sacred
trust. If a mans stomach Is strong
enough to stand such belief, he is to
be congratulated. Mine is weaker,
and many men are sufferers with me
from physical and mental indigestion
that requires food and thought less
stimulating to the body and mind.

How He Made One Very Fatal Omis-
The nights work was over. The
muscles of the Republican editor re-
Taxed, and the great ridges drawn upon
his brow by the intense thought of
many hours departed. He. placed his
feet upon his desk, and dreamily
watched the cockroaches crawl over
them. ais pencil fell from his idle
hand, and the breeze which blew in at
the window futtered the scanty locks
on his dome-like forehead.
In the hall he heard the sounds which
indicated that the paper was going to
press, and through the glass door he
could see the preparations for that task.
about. The foreman swore louder and
oftener than usual, and his assistants
chewed their tobacco with renewed
vigor.
But the Republican editor needed
them not, for he was thinking how
well he had done his days work, and
his soul was bathed in the splendor of

duction he had proved that the tariff
was not a tax. He had
shown that homemade tin
plate was necessary to the salvation of
America. He had made it evident that
the Mckinley law was the wisest meas
ure ever framed. He had demonstrated
what blessing the pension list was to
the country, and he had asserted once
more that if ever this great and glori-
Gus Union fell, even as Rome and
Greece crumbled into ruins, it would
be through the foul Vaccinations of
the Democratic party. He said to him
self that he had omitted nothing, and
he believed that he had right to feel
satisfaction.
Suddenly he arose and stuck his
forehead violently. His face became
very pale. Red streaks appeared in his
eye-bal1s, and the blue veins stood out
on his temples. His appearance, his
manner, indicated the utmost fear and
CONSERVATION. He struck his forehead
again, exclaiming: ''How could I have
been so careless, SO forgetful?" and fell
senseless to the floor.
He had omitted to write ANYTHING
about the Golden club being in league
with the Democrats, and furnishing
them money to defeat the high tariff

1t is undeniable that high tariff in

and with that corruption the republi-
can party is identified. To secure pro-
lection. industrial interests will will
ingly pay. The fat-frying circular
is therefore natural result of a high

a sign of enormous corruption. This
faint OF corruption, which the circum-
stances of the campaign of 1888 deep
ened, is one of the serious drawbacks of
the republican party as the campaign

Esteem and Confidence.
The New York Times.


Cleyeland's strength lies largely in
his character, in the attitude he has
taken toward the public questions
and public interests, i'll his untlinching
honesty, in his rugged and enduring
adelity, in his deep sympathy with the
motives that guide the great body of
the people, and, above all, in the mod
est but splendid courage with which he
has time and again faced what he be-
heved to be his duty in quiet disregard
of all harm that could come to his per-
sonal or political fortunes. These
qualities have insrired into the hearts
Of his party the profoundest esteem
and confidence, and created that de-
mand for his leadership that no COM
bination of politicians could have
brought about, and that none was able
to resist.

Has Many Meanings.

The word protection" has many
meanings, and one bunco is to confuse
the mind of the listener by mixing
them up. l have to use the word in
different meanings, but desire to state
clearly what they are. The word Is
used:
l. AS the simple grant Of power 10
an industry to tax the people for Its
private benefit, whether it uses tho
power or not.
2. To express solely the use of tho
power by an industry.
3. To define an act Of justice to an
industry by releasing it from tax on
raw material This is the use of the
word in old time. When we taxed tho
raw material of sugar cents per
pound, the twenty-three refners had
to pay it into theH treasury. But such
tax would close them up, and to pro-
tect them from loss in paying this tax
a duty OF cents per pound was levied
on refined sugars cents in the last
meaning of the word to make good
their loss, and cents in the first
meaning. When we say that their
protection is now worth s1Ao 600, 900 q
cent per pound). it is in the second
meaning of the word. When tax is
levied on . raw material, the industry
must be protected, (third meaning) bya
compensatory duty, and the industry
must form a trust to collect it.
Free trade means that no duties shall
be levied to protect trusts in collecting
private taxes from the people-that no
restrictions shall be placed on one man
that are not placed on another-that
trade shall be free to all citizens alike
1t does not mean unt,l1ed foreign trade,
as friends OF the trusts declare. And
the best friends the trusts have are the
loudest howlers fol. tariff reform"

LOYALTY TO TARIFF REFORM.

The Milwaukee Journal.
1t Is not always the unexpected that
happens. Occasionally the people speak
in such thunder tones that there is no
installing the purport, and then woe to
the politicians who place themselves be-
fore the car Of popular judgment.
For months it has been evident that
the Chicago convention could have no
other outcome than the nomination of
Grover Cleveland unless the people
were outrageously betrayed.
CIeveland's defeat Of four years ago
will lend more luster to his victory in
%. The legend of democracy's faith
is now as it was then, and the party's
loyalty to the creed Of tariff reform, as
aVoWed and staunch as when it fiut-
tered to the ground in 1888. But bet
ter days are in store for democracy as
well as the man whose fearless ayoWal
for reform caused momentary disin-
tegration Of the party's forces during
the last campaign. Bowed and humil-
lated, reform, with sphinx like peril
nacity, now CLEANS athwart the nations
horizon, welcomed and worshiped by

who faltered stand up with outstretch-
ed hands, reckoning and welcoming

New York q Doubtful State.

In any event, and at every election
New York is doubtful state. But if
Mr.. Cleveland cannot carry it this year
we know no Democrat can. Mr.. Hill
carried it in 1888 when Mr.. Cleveland
lost it. But that was the result of bar
gains, of which the conditions do not
now exist. No intelligent person sup
poses that because Mr.. Hill carried
New York in 1888, he can carry it in
1892.

LOOKING UPWARD.

The conjunction of Jupiter and Venus
is a rare occurrence, and as such is at
tracing the attention of mary people of
various beliefs and Interests, as will be
seen from matter elsewhere in this issue.
Mr.. Morrison, in saying that only the igno-
rant and superstitiouS in former times at
tached any significance to such astronorni-
cal events, ist6o sweeping in his assertion.
No one has yet accused Lieutenant c. A.
L. Totten, Professor of Military Science
at Iale, of being either ignorant or super
stitious; vet from the results of what we
may call his Biblical Astrology, he bases a
prediction of the Second Advent of Christ
on this sign.
Considerable interest, more or less in the
form of criticism, has attached to other
predictions made by Lieutenant Totten
on account of the great ingenuity with
which he has made his deductions. He is
man of science and of standing and as
such his ideas carry more weight than
those of the average prophecy-monger.
incidentally it may he remarked that the
Catholic Apostolic Church, one of the broad
est and most inclusive of religious bodies,
is now preparing for the Second Advent
in more particular sense than that which
refers to all Christian churches.
Whether or not this astronomical incl
dent be regarded as a sign of anything
further than the wonderful rules which
govern the motions of the heavenly bodies,
it should call attention to the nightly beau
ties of the skies which are all too much
neglected in this money-grubbing age. All
whose instincts and minds have not been
immaterially warped and saturated by
narrow aims cannot fail to profit by the
feast of awe-inspiring grandeur which
every clear night spreads before them, a
feast whose greatness and wealth is none
the Jess for the neglectful eyes which see
it not

THE DEATH OF spUFGEoN.

The death of Rev. Charles II. Spurgeon,
reported in our cable dispatches, closes the
long career of an eminent divine, whose
fame was made world wide by the sheer
force Of his eloquence and earnestness.
Sir. Spurge0n's position was similar to
that of Henry Ward Beecher in the lead
ership Of evangelical pulpit ora.ory; and
while Beecher was closer to the people of
the United States in location, birth and
character, the wide reputation and earnest
vigor Of Spurgeon. both as preacher and
organizer of church work, was in no wise
inferior to that of his American friend and
rival.
Mr. Spurgeon was a comparatively
young man at his death, being a little
under sixty years of age, although his
long pulpit career created the impression
that he was much older. He entered the
pulpit when hardly more than boy,
being indeed known in the early part of
bis work as the ''boy preacher title
which has been adopted rather frequently
since then by less gifted imitatorS During
his forty odd years of service in the pulpit
he was the earnest advocate Of every work
for The advancement of mankind and the
amelioratiOn of the masses. He was
among the front rank of the speakers and
thinkers which made the middle of the
century what it was, and his death fur
nisheS a new reminder that the. great
figures OF that era are rapidly passing
away, leaving upon the rev genera ton
the burden of providing worthy successors
TO them.

TREE-CLEMBING PIGS

We regret to observe in our brilliant con-
temporary, the New York Sun, disposi-
tion 10 cherish and foster a project of
grave injuriousness to that foundation and
source of our national greatness - the
farming interest. The previously dis
played tendency of the San to turn up the
nose of scorn at the Farmers Alliance
might be explained by its moral and physi-
cal proximity to Wall street. But there is
grave suspicion Of deeply-seated enmity
TO the peace and prosperity of farmers in
its announcement that a race of pigs has
been discovered in Australia which is able
to climb trees, and in its proposal that the
porcine tree-climbers shall be imported so
as 10 engraft their novel qualities on the
more tame characteristics Of the American
hog.
Such proposition implies a covert at
tack on the mental equilibrium of the
American farmer, which, if premeditated,
would be little short of fiendish. As ali
our leading men can boast of a rural
origin, the bright minds of the San must be
aware that, even as he is, the capacity of
the American hog to break the bonds of
restraint and wander into forbidden fields
Is one of the constantly impending TRACE
dies of farm life. The ability of the hog
TO discover or make to order holes by
which ne can get into the places where he
ought not to be is only equaled by the
obstinacy with which he refuses to recog-
nize the same routes for getting back again
when he is pursued with clubs and exple-
tives.

views with regard to the entry of
NADIA into the Union, as they appear en-
ely unsupported by any attempt at log
al reasoning. 1t is an indisputable fact
that the bias which the Canadian vote
would have on the government of the
united countries is regarded in high and

obstacle to our joining hands. We fear
the SIN enormously undertakes the power

Take as straw indicating the direction

party politics play in the admission of
Territory TO State rights. Whichever the
party in power at the time, the question is
always settled by the decision of the ma
jority party as to whether they will gain
or lose votes by the transmutation. We
admit that this is only straw, and we
sincerely hope that the time is not far dis
tsnt when our country will, in very truth,
be governed by the people for the people,
and not by the caucus for the Office seek

tons, great and small, shall alike be judged

RUSSIAN EXILES.
Nearly $4,000 OF Them Land in New York
During the Year.

During the Year.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3l-According to state
ments contained in the annual report of the
United Hebrew Charities of New York,
62, 54 Hebrew immigrants landed in this city
during the year ending September 30 last.
There were 26,S91 men, 1888 women, and
1890 children. More than fFe-sixths of all,
or "a, 1884, were Russian e1iles. The report of
the society contains interesting information
as to the manner in which many thousands
of these who were driven from their homes
were treated in this country. The Execu-
tive Committee says the society was diverted
from its original position OF affording relief
to the Hebrew poor of New York city, and
was compelled to perform the functions OF a
society to help the vast majority of ''the ur-
happy, unfortunate and ill-treated Russians
who applied for admission into the nation,
and who were properly a charge upon the
Hebrews of the entire country rather than
upon the heavily burdened community of
New York city.
During the year there were received at the
office OF the society sO45 applications for re-
lief, representing 1854 persons, and with
the cases for reinvestigation, transients. etc.,
the total relief list reaches 1896 persons
The Executive Committee says it has re-
fused to use the customary channel for
disposing of unfortunate people who begged
to be sent back to Europe in any fashion,
and who welcomed the accommodations of
cattle ships" From these cattle Ships with
their freight OF human beings, there were
too frequent reports of hardships and too
many stories of harsh treatment, so that it
was decided that the society could no longer
be used "as a convenience for cattle ship
pers" OF all the Hebrew immigrants vino
came, 1876 were sent back to Europe by the
Government and there remained in the city
46, 029. The remainder had tickets and went
to other cities, although many returned in
few weeks, expecting to better their condi-
tion here,
