GLADsTONE's REPLY.

Gladstone's feat in the Commons last
night was something marvellous for q
man of his years. He whom his enemies
have been hypocritically condoling with
for the past fortnight as broken by the
labors Of the election, subject to daily
faints, languid, mentally weary and
unfit for the work of the session, poured
hot shot into the Tory camp in bril-
liant assault of more than an hour, cleo
trifying his friends and amazing his
foes.
All doubt as to the Liberal program is
at an end. Gladstone has committed
himself and the Liberal party out
spokenly and irrevocably to home rule.
The Irish members are satisfied and
party prospects are better than before
the assembling of Parliament seemed
probable. A hard fight is ahead and its
issue no human being can foresee. But
whether victory come to him or defeat
the grand old mans last campaign will
be glorious one.

LACE CURTAINS.

THE NEWS called its readers attention
some days ago to the establishment of
the lace curtain industry at Patchogue,
L. l., in consequence of the tariff i'm
posed by the Mckinley act. 1t is now
announced that j. B. Forth Of Noting
ham, England, will join with New
York capitalists in erecting substantial
brick mill at Wyandace, L. l., for the
manufacture of domestic nottingham"
curtains. Mr.. Forth was doing good
business at home when Mckinley spoiled
it, whereupon he very sensibly con-
cluded to do better business here.
There are now two lace mills at
Wilkesbarre, Pa. three in Philadelphia,
and two in Patchogue, and if the Nc
Kinley tariff is kept operative they will
soon have a fiourshing trade. The wy.
andace Mill will start with 100000
capital and will make curtains, bed
spreads and a great variety of cotton
lace articles. Mr.. Forth says: Il used
to be a champion of free trade, but since
l have been here and have seen what
great country the protective policy has
made and what still greater things the
tariff is going to do, cannot but admit
that the policy America is pursuing is the
right one. The Mckinley act does not
increase the bank account of any of the
Nottingham mill owners, but it brings
more money into this country it gives
employment to many more, it makes the
country richer and more powerful /;
although at first the people may not see
the prices go down, in the end the pro-
tected articles are cheaper. Competi-
ton in this country will also regulate
the price. II the Mckinley law had not
been passed, / feel certain that there
would not have been lace or lace
curtain factory or mill in this country"
Have our free trade friends any re-
marks to offer?

steve,s War Record Like Growers.

The Rev. G. B. Snedeker, a well
known Methodist preacher who lives at
Abingdon. Ills. says:
In 1864 myself and Stevenson, with
others, were drafted. Mr.. Stevenson
hired a man to go to the front in his
place, and there was also one sent in
my place. / see that Mr.. Stevenson
says that he was in the army for thir-
teen days. Well, think / can explain
that record. When the draft was made
Stevenson was appointed by the disloyal
people to go to Springfield to see that
the drawing was fairly done. He made
some objection to the manner in which
the drawing was done, when the officer
said for him to get up on the box and be
blindfolded and see if he could do any
better. Stevenson mounted the box and,
so the story was told, the first two names
he pulled out of the box were my own
and his. He was then satisfied and let
the drawing go on. At that time he
spent some ten or fifteen days in Spring
field, and that was the nearest he ever
was to the war.-Indianapolis Journal.

Democrats have stopped midway in a
chuckle and there seems no present pros
pect of their finding it convenient or
desirable to have their Alabama laugh
out yet awhile. II is not that the ALI.
ance has developed unexpected strength,
but that an analysis of the vote, now
that the revised returns are available
for consideration, shows such factional
bitterness among the Democratic lead
ers AS menaces the success of the party
in the autumn very seriously.
Whether the Kolb men contest the
election or not means little outside the
State. The significant fact is that Jones.
the regular Democrat, got the negro
vote, while Kolb. the bolter, had tho
white vote. What will this amount to

secured Jones' election, in case he shall
prove elected, declared on the stump
that they were Republicans and could

We'll. Hardly.

It is admitted by all that the trouble
at Homestead was the result of a adecline
in the price Of steel. Free trade, the
Democratic papers say, will cheaper
steel still further, for that is what they
mean when they say that protection
raises the prices. The question is. How
many strikes would follow free trade?
Workmen who resist a few reductions
under protection would hardly submit
to reductions Of 30 per cent. under Eng
lish free trade.-Iowa State Register.

Mckinley Protection Doesn't Work -
Suit tho Blatant Free Traders.
"It's Dying Of Protection" is a free
trade newspapers headline over an arti-
Gle telling Of the effects Of the McKin-
ley increase in the duty ON tissue paper.
Our Golden contemporary finds its pre-
text for this headline In an interview by
Colonel G.. w. Thompson as follows:
"Let mo tell you," said the colonel,
"that the price Of this tissue paper will
be lower than ever inside Of six months" I"
"Whyr asked the reporter.
"WhyY repeated the colonel. "Why,
because everybody is going into the bust.
ness. know three mills that are al
ready getting in order to 60 to work
upon this sort Of paper, and inside Of
six months there will be dozen or fif.
teen more in it."
No revolution has taken place in hu.
man nature lately, and no manufacturer
Of tissue paper can be reasonably expect
ed to grow wildly enthusiastic over the
prospect Of increased competition in his
business. But that is neither here nor
there. The point is that Mckinley pro.
lection to the tissue paper industry is
working, as it was intended to work, for
the benefit of the consumer, by. making
lower prices than before, because there
is more made here in America than ever
before.
OF course free trade organs are so used
to repeating the falsehood that protec-
ton is intended to benefit only manufac.
turers as to be unable to see that when
it benefits the people the joke is on
them and not on the tariff. But IL is q
distinct gain to have them admit that 1t
does benfit the people. The multiplica-
ton Of mills must result in competition
righting itself gradually, just as it does
in any other business.-New York
Press,
