Every advance towards free exchange of commodities is an advance of civiliza- tion every obstruction to free exchange is born of the same narrow, despotic spirit which planted castles upon the Rhine to plunder peaceful commerce every facil- ity to free exchange cheapens commodi- ties, increases trade and production, and promotes civilization.

CARL SCHURZ'S LETTER.

The letter of Carl Schurz to the Brooklyn Democrats will be found exceedingly we'll worth reading. It is the utterance of a man of broad and elevated comprehension of the duty and mission of the Republic, with regard to which he views all the questions of the hour. He calls attention to the great mischief which inheres in the alliance between party and the money power. and which threatens to corrupt this nation to the denial of its ideals. No one else has so clearly set forth as Mr.. Schurz the qualities in MT. Cleveland and his position in the present campaign, which make his election so desirable for the good of the country. The talk of the common politician sounds very cheap beside this statesman's ample review of issues, from the point of view of moral principles, which do not change with party interests. - -Springfeld Repubkrdn.

WHAT REPUBLICANS HONESTLY THINK OF A PROTECTIVE TARIFF.
PRESIDENT ULYSSES s. GRANT.

l would suggest to Congress the pro- priety of readjusting the tariff so as to increase the revenue and at the same time decrease the number of articles upon which duties are levied. Those articles which enter into our manufactures and are not produced at home. it seems to me, should be entered free. Those articles of manufacture which we produce constit- nent part of, but do not produce the whole, that part which we do not produce should enter free also. I will instance fine wool, etc. The introduce tion free of duty of such wools as we do not produce would stimulate the manu- fracture of goods required in the use of those we do produce, and therefore would be benefit to home production.
 Message of Dec :. 1874.
The Connecticut citizen., 1892-10-08

any longer against the continued attempts of protectionists to ruin their business and prevent their employees from earning good living.
 Previous to the adoption of the tariff bill they had found that by reason of the cheap foreign labor the manufacturers of Reading, Pa., were employing hands at about 9Oc Il day against the $1 .50 they were obliged to pay, that there was serious discrimination against them and that they were forced to conduct their business at a loss or reduce the wages paid their en- ployees. Rather than cut down wages to compete with Huns and ignorant foreign CTS, they operated at loss for the last two years their factory was in operation, Had tariff bill been adopted, giving them free raw materials, they would have been able, in the opinion of MT. Sandford, to keep on and place their products in foreign markets.
 This was the largest wool hat factory in the United States, running continuously since 1920, employing an average of 300 operatives, paying over $10O,0OO per annum in wages, and large sums in taxes duct of a business of such magnitude. The result of the Mckinley bill, so far as Bridgeport is concerned, is to close this immense factory, turn 300 operatives out to learn new trade or starye, and enhance the cost of living to the remaining tax payers by putting on them the taxes hitherto paid by the Sandfords. -Americon Industries

18TH SENATORIAL DISTRICT.

This is a year of renominations in Con- necticut, and one of the most satisfactory is that of Senator John $. Seymour by exclamation, at the convention in Norwalk last Saturday. Senator Seymour is one of the rising statesmen to whom the people of Connecticut are beginning to look for counsel and leadership.
 During the stormy scenes in the legisla ture two years ago, when the leaders of the Republican party made up their minds to thwart the will of the people, Senator Seymour was one of the bravest and most trusted leaders of the Democratic Senate. To him belongs great share of the credit for bringing the question of constitutional reform to the front, and his address as temporary chairman of the Democratic Convention at Hartford, few weeks ago. was nlasterly exposition of the position and principles of the Dem satic party of Connecticut to-day.

JUDGE COOLEY OF MICHIGAN.

Constitutionally tax can have no other basis than the raising of revenues for public purposes. and whatever govern mental exaction has not this basis is tyran- nical and unlawful. A tax on imports, therefore, the purpose of which is not to raise revenue, but to discourage and in directly prohibit some particular import for the benefit of some home manufactur- CT, may well be questioned as being merely uu.o,nDic, aut, therefore nri warrenteu Dy constitutional principles. -"( "(onsti'ufional IimihfiOns.

II reject the doctrine of protection as opposed not only to the principles of liberty, but to the essential principles of Christianity. I regard it as in its very essence anti Christian and immoral.

JAY GOULD'S CONCLUSION.

II cannot see that the new tariff of itself will be disadvantage to the coun- try. If it increases the cost of some articles people will simply nse less of them Take wool, for instance. If the tariff on wool makes clothing cost more, d person will get along with one suit where he would otherwise have two."- Npr York World, Oct. 6, 1S90

Cabinet Meetinr.

WASHINGTON, March l5.-1he Cabine
meeting was attended by all the members
except Blaine, Foster and Noble. The
issue Of proclamation of retaliation
against the countries which have refused
to enter into reciprocal trade relations
with the United States under the
terms of the Mckinley act was the priu-
eipal subject of discussion. 1t was
decided to issue proclamatlors Of this
character, this afternoon, against three
countries Of South America. These are
understood to be Columbia, Honduras and
Venezuela but this cannot be stated posi-.
lively. The Behring sea question was
referred TO only incidentally, it being
practically settled that nothing further
will be done in this matter until Salisbury
replies to the presidents note OF the Sth
insisting on a renewal of the modus Vie
yendi.
In accordance with the provisions of
the reciprocity legislation Of Jan. z,
Mr.. Blaine had addressed notes to repre-.
Septatives in this city Of Austria Hun.

to make commercial arrangements before
March l5 the president would be COM

Austria Hungary made a aeiinite PROPOSE

umbia, Hayti and Venezuela. AS 20 these
countries the president today issued a
proclamation declaring duties as 70 sugar,

II the response from Salisbury is not
soon received il Is understood That the
president will call the attention Of the
British minister here to the fact That the
government is awaiting Salisbury reply
and asking that the matter be brought to
his attention.
1t is said at the state department that
