THE POLICY OF DESTRUCTION.
The Inf1ammatory Doctrine of the Demo

The Infiammatory Doctrine of the Demo-
cratic Platform.
Grover Cleveland. at the Madison
Square meeting, sought to neutralize
the charge that the destruction of the
existing tariff and the disturbance, dis
trust. distress and disaster which would
follow the enactment of legislation
framed for that purpose were involved
in the democratic tariff policy.
Ours is not destructive party, )"
said Mr.. Cleveland I'VE are not at
enrnity with the rights of any of our
citizens. All are our countrymeD. We
are not recklessly needless of any
American interests. nor will we aban-
don our regard for them"
Indefinite as this utterance is it en-
braces the only words used by Mr.. Cleve-
land in his Madison Square harangue
against the protective tariff. which can
be twisted into an expression OF friend
ship for Ame -ican industry.
Bat no hazy generality OF this kind
.a., obscure the public view of the plat
sorn on which Mr.. Cleveland was
aced at Chicago and on which ne
uust continue to stand.

evident that they do not understand
the matter as he pretends to and do
not realize that the iron grip of a mys-
blood out of them. On the contrary,
they are apparently well satisfied, and
as often as the occasion comes they go
TO the polls and reiterate their prefer
ence for protection over free trade.
Mr. Cleveland is self-deceived if he
imagines that he can bring about the
destruction Of the protective system by
denouncing it as a monstrous form of
robbery which has been established by
arbitrary and tyrannical means. The
people are responsible for it, and they
maintain it upon the ground that it is
materially advantageous to all kinds OF
industry. If they were mistaken in
this view, they surely would have found
it out and taken steps to rectify the
wrong. They may fairly be supposed
to know their own condition, and to
comprehend the effects of the tariff up
on their own interests. 1t may be that
they are not familiar with all the theo-
retical literature upon the subject; but
it is not reasonable to believe that they
are ignorant of the practical facts in
the case. They know what they pay
for the things that they buy and what
they get for the things that they sell,
and they are competent to make the
comparisons which determine the
question of gain or loss. 1t will
not do to assume that they per-
sist in favoring hurtful policy be-
cause they are unable to see how it
Injuries them. If they were being i'm
poverished by the tariff they would not
need to have the fact pointed out to
them in Mr.. Cleveland's melancholy
polysyIlables; they would feel it in
their daily experience, as they do other
facts relating to their pursuits and their
welfare. st. Louis Globe-Democrat-

SCOOPlNG UP TREASURE.


The Wreck OF the British ship Hussar.

Treasure on Board In Long Island
Sound. During the Revolution. Located,
and the Dredgers Scooping Up the
Precious STUFF.
New YORK, Aug. 1.-THE World says:
Capt. Thomas Simmonds of the hy-
draulic dredge Little Giant, that is an
chored in the sound, south of Port Nor
ris dock, was very serious yesterday.
1--WE should hit it soon,' said he, to
his chief assistant He had been grap-
ping day after day for something like
81, 100000 lost with the British ship
Hussar over century ago. After the first
plunge of the bucket about one cubic
yard of mud was dumped on the grating.
When the men began to sort and wash
for treasure, the captain saw something
yellow glitter in the silt and picked it
up. 1t was an English guinea of the
time of George Ill. Half dozen more
were found; then two gold buttons
from the uniform of British naval
officer. The next plunge brought
up quantity of copper coin.
Capt. Simmonds' weather-beaten face
relaxed and he smiled. Were
right over the stuff, am cock certain"
said he, "and | expect to have all of it
up very soon" Then the bucket
brought up two short bars which, on
being scraped, proved to be sterling sill
yer. That ended the find for the day.
but it proved beyond doubt that Capt.
Simmonds had located the lost Hussar
and her enormous treasure, and is per-
haps on the threshold of great wealth
for himself and the other members of
the family.

value of the reputation on which such

About the middle of the last century,
through the genius of Franklin, light
ming became identified with common or
FRACTIONAL electricity, but the language
referring to this great natural force con-
tinued to be the same as when men were
ignorant of its nature. They spoke, as
we still speak, of thunderstorm, and
of thunder and lightning, and thus, as
in other cases, mistook, as we continue
to do. at least in our mode Of speech, the
effect for tho cause. 1t is commonly
said that the thunder turns to sourness
the milk and the beer; that there is
thunder in the air, and the singeing of a
tree by lightning twas due to the thun-
der last night" as its owner informed
me few weeks ago. Even Scott, in
"The Heart of Midlothian" speaks of
''the shattered and thunder splitter
peaks of Arran."
Our gratitude is due to those gifted
men who have been able to divest
natural phenomena of the ignorance
and superstition that formerly encum.
bered them, and so to bring them under
the dominion of scientific laws which
appeal to the good sense of all students
of nature.-Notes and Queries.
