AN INSULT TO THE PEOPLE.
olevelRnd's Peculiar Method Of Discuss
Ing tho Protective System.


oIoveland's Peculiar Method Of Discuss
Ing tho Protective System.
The method chosen by Mr.. Cleveland
for the discussion of the tariff question
Is an insult TO the intelligence OF the
American people. lie represents in eff
feet that some intangible and remorse-
less power is levying tribute upon the
masses for the benefit of classes
through the operation Of the protective
system. In other words, he talks MS II
that system had been imposed upon
the country against its wishes by the
decree of an autocratic ruler in the pay
Of the manufacturers. lie puts aside
the fact that we have n republican form
of government and that laws are made
In obedience to the demands OF public
opinion. The protective tariff has ex-
lated all these years not because of n
conspiracy on the part Of certain indi-
viduals to enrich themselves by whole
sale extortion and oppression, but be-
cause majority Of the vo,ers of the
nation have regarded II as a great gem
eral benefit They have had the power
to abolish II at any time, and yet II has
not been dispensed with. As often as
the question has been squarely sub
mitted to them they have decided in
favor of retaining the duties that Mr..
Cleveland declares TO be forced con-
tributions" from their income. II is
evident that they do not understand
the matter as he pretends to and do
not realize that the iron grip OF a inys-
terious power is squeezing the life
blood out Of them. On the contrary,
they are apparently well satisfied, and
as often as the occasion comes they &c

snce for protection over free trade.
Mr. Cleveland is self-tleceived II he
imagines that he can bring about the
destruction of the protective system by
denounoing 1t as a monstrous form OF
robbery which has been established by
arbitrary and tyrannical means. The
| people are responsible for IL, and they
maintain II upon the ground that II l;

PAINTING IN EARLY DAYS.
How the Invention of OIL Colors by Van
Eyck Came About.

How the Invention of OIL Colors by Van
Eyck Came About.
We possess but little positive knowl-
edge concerning the technical processes
employed by the painters of ancient
days, but painting in fresco seems to
have been the favorite method. They
also painted on boards, rs is proved by
the fact that many of the most valuable
pictures of ancient Greece were movable
and canvas was an unknown article at
that time. These were called tabula
picta (board pictures), or tabula
tboards). They were painted in water
colors, or something resembling such,
with size, and fixed or protected by
some peculiar variety of varnish In the
manufacture of which an oil Of some
kind was employed Another process
was the encaustic, in which wax was
used to deepen the colors and render
them OF more brilliant hue, heat being
employed in working with this sub
stance.
To Jan Van Eyck, famous Flemish
artist, supposed to have fiourishod be-
tween 1910 and l44l, is usually ascribed
the honor of discovering the process of
painting in colors mixed with oil. Con-
siderable doubt exists as to the validity
of this claim, but nevertheless the story
concerning the alleged discovery is a
very interesting and curious one. He
painted panel picture, and, having
vanished itin the usual way, set II out
in the sun 10 dry. For some unknown
reason-perhaps the extreme heat of the
sun, or the fact that the board was not
properly seasoned-it cracked and
was consequently ruined. This set
Van Eyck to thinking Of some
way by which such an accident could
be prevented. lie accordingly set about
making varnish which would not re-
quire the heat of the sun to hasten the
drying process These experiments
were for long time fruitless, but at
last his efforts were crowned with sue
cess and he found that linseed oil and
nut oil met all the requirements for
which he was seeking. lie boiled them
together and thus produced the varnish
for which so many artists had longed.
Shortly afterward he found that by
mixing these oils with his colors they
became more brilliant and forceful than
water colors, and, best Of all, required
no final vanishing
In connection with this discovery
there is told thrilling tale OF murder.
Van Eyck impaired the secret to one OF
his pupils-Antonio OF Messina=and
he in turn communicated IL 10 another
painter named Dominica Beccafumi.
After using the process for time the
latter taught Andrea del Castagno, a
fellow artist, how to mix and apply his
Al l..
Castagno, fred with the desire Of be-
coming sole possessor Of the secret,
foully assassinated Beccafumi, and hav-
ing no rival he soon became rich and
honored. Shortly before dying, how
ever, his gully conscience afforded him
no rest, and on his death bed he con-
fessed his dastardly deed. - Detroit
