deprIved labor Of its natural rIghtsi

Dor, the king; labor, the sovereign mas
been pushed from his throne, where
capital now rsigns, bastard monarch, In
his steady Does it not follow that the
people have been deprived OF their
natural rights? We all know that 10 the
first settlement of this country 1t was set
tled by men who came here to escape
the Protection Of a ruling class, people
made criminals by bad state Of society,
not 90 bad probably as we have today,
but still bad enough to produce crlmi-
mails by law; but, coming here and and-
Ing new continent undevelOped, with
land free to all, developed into @ higher
state of society than that of any nation
In the world, developed men Of such
genius that they produced, apparently
without effort, a government which will
yet lead to the highest state Of individual
liberty!
Again, take the history Of Australia,
which was originally largely settled BY
0fimlnAl classi Those people going there
and having free access to the natural OPP
portunItles-the mines and forests and
streams-for the production OF wealth,
hnding no t1onopoliss there, being left
free @to develop the resources Of the
country, to have their own homes and
On 10y the rewards Of their own industry,
they gradually developed into the most
advanced community on the face Of the
earth, and to-day that nation, which
originated out of a criminal class, is fur
hishing you q ballot law with which to
fight against the same kind Of legislation
that made criminals OF them in the past.
How does 1t happen, then, that we,
after this long period, are gradually fall
ing back into the same old conditions Of
Society, and that we to day are filling the
whole land with criminals? Why, in the
city of New York alons last year there
were $1,000 arrests Of criminals, many
OF them made criminals by law. WhyH
Simply Because they were deprived Of
their natural and inaliensble right Of &C
cess to the great storehouse OF wealth,
the earth; because Of the monOpOlies
built up under this Ubiquitous system OF
protection. My friend from Michigan,
tMr. Burrowsl "let the cat out OF the
bag" 10 regard to this system. Speaking
In favor Of the protective tariff, and
showing how disastrous 1t wodld be to
t1ut certain articles on the free list, he
read dispatch dated at Otta va, Ontario,
March 10, as follows:
OTTAWA, Ontario, March 10.
Anticipating a removal of duties from
Eoal imported into the United States, syn
dicate of American capitalists have bonded
several valuable coal areas in Cape Breton
and PiCtou, Nova Scotia, to enable them to
compete with the Pennsylvania mines in
the New England market, if coal is put on
the free liRt.
That shows you what grows out OF
this protective tariff system. Under that
system these monopolles have grown up
and capitalists have bought up the
mineral deposits Of this country every
where that they could discover them
Over In the nelghboring commonwealth
CT Virginia there are 100000 acres Of the
best iron deposits in the United States
but those deposits are not developed
they are not used, because they would
come into competition with the iror

speak IN the interest Ofthe laborer.
l can properly speak for him, because l
have been q laborsr all my life; having
come in contact with lsboring people l
think / know their views and wishes as
we'll as any lawyer or manufacturer 1t
appears to me that when the laborer ex-
changes his labor, although directly he
may exchange it for money, ne In fact
exchanges his labor for the product OF
the farm or the factory. He wants some
thing to live on; he wants something to
eat, something to drink, something to
wear Now, when you put q protective
tariff on those articles what do you do
but increase their cost to hln1Y And how
do yoti benefit the laborer by increasing
the cost of the products Of the factory or
The farm OF anything else for which no
must exchatge his laborG Some good
Republican will please tell me how the
wages of the laborer are increased by
increasing the cost of the articles for
which he exchanges his labor? [Mr
Simpson paused for reply. No one ven
turing to speak, he proceeded.
Furthermore, we hear q good deal said
on this [the Republican, side Of the
house about protecting American labor
against the "pauper labor Of Europe" "
Now, will some Republican tell me what
natlon do you want protection against?
Do not all speak at once. There Is surely
some Republican who can tell me what
nation In Europe he wants to protect our
laborers against.
Mr.. Dolliver The gentleman from
New Jersey [Mr. Englishb in referring
an hour or two ago to Calcutta, indicated
one country against which our labor
should be protected.
Mr.. Slmpson-Wlll the gentleman tell
me what nation he wishes 70 protect our
laborerS from?
Mr.. Dolllver-I have called the atten-
tlon Of my friend to the speech of the
gentleman from New Jersey.
Mr.. Simpson-Atter all this gush over
the laborer, cannot any OF you tell me
what nation In Europe you want to pro-
feet the American labOrer againstY Ap-
plause on the Democratic side. Well,
gentlemen, il you were frank you would
say Great Britain. Is not that right?
Great Britain 10 the nation that you fear.
But, gentlemen, the, facts are against you.
The cheap labor of Europe is not in
Great Britain. The highest wages paid
in Europe to-day are paid in Great
Britain, the nation that comes nearest to
free trade. Oh, no; if you were not con-
Sclenceless hypocrites, trying to impose
on the laborers OF the country, you would
say that you want protection from China,
China, that has had a protective tariff
for thousands of years-Chins, that built
a wall around her country cutting OF all
intercourse with the outside world
China, under a protective tariff such sf
you are building up, pays the lowest
wages in the world. You can not gel
away from the facts. Yet you passed a
law here the other day that would be

The Story Of a Diamond.

among the crown jsweis Of the Russian En-.
peror. Ii Is stone with strange history,
too.
When fret discovered by Europeans, 1t
formed tbs eye OF an idol In t,mpie near
Trichinopol, Iod!a. Then it wss stolen by
FreDohmsn, who escaped with his prlzs to
Per.is, aud who, fearful of being discover
sd, was glad TO dispose OF his ill.gotten gaiD
tor sum OF about $4,000. The man who
bought the Stone, Jewish merchant, sold

$50 600. Shafrss had conceived the idea
mat by carrying the gone 10 Russia he
would obtain fsom the Empress, C=t1erine

waich had of course been discovered and
proceimed, became q grave consideration.
Tie way In which he solved the problem
was remarkable. He made deep incision

fully by sewing It up With silver thread.
When the wound healed the Armenian meE-
chant set out on his travels quite boldly
aud, although more than once eapprehended,
vigorously searched, and even tortured
little, he was obdurGte and firmly denied
having the stone In his possession. Having
at length reached his ettpatlon, he asked
the empress the sum of $500 600 for the
gem. an amount which Catharine was una
BILE to raise at tire moment.
We next find the Armenian at Amster
dam, With the intention OF having his dla-
mond cut. Here the stone was seen by
Count Oflof, who determined to purchase
is for preset tation to the Empress Catht-

FFear's East Broadway show window
contains one of the handsomest, as well
as the most novel exhibit, that will be
seen in any city this season. The central
feature is a O'Clock tea party at which
several Young ladies in beautiful attire
are gathered about a table which conveys
fashions latest fancy in the way OF
O'Clock tea sets and all that pertains to a
3 o'clock tea, even to the little Swiss
waitress, who Obeys their commands.
In tho distance can be seen2 handsome
blonde and brunette on the way to the
tea party driving dashing team of horses

icent cabriolet (such as can be furnished
only by FreAr in this vicinity. The foot
man in livery is seen awaiting their ar
rival. Looking beyond the circle who
are enjoying the Christmas tea party y on
see very beautiful young la ty amusing
herAslf by playing on grand upright
piano, while on the other side you see
another young lady just in from the
opera. where you will see her opera cloak,
gloves and wraps of all kinds, opera glas-
SEES, etc., carelessly thrown aside. The
decorations, draperies, ETC., show what
FreAr can do in this line in very small
space, and lie leaves it to you to imagine
what he could do under more favorable
circumstances. This gives hut faint
idea of the golden beauty of this window,
which the mammas bring their children
to see SO often. But" say you, what
can all this mean to the children? 1t
means a great deal to them. as the young
ladies are represented by dolls so large
and handsome that it seems at times al
most impossible to prevent the chi dren
from breaking through the viii dow TO
obtain them. The rooms are ! Ited by
steam, as will be seen by the NJ radia-
tor. But this Is not all. Looking up IL
the roof of the miniature hOu you see
Santa Claus, with well filled Christmi

descend the chimney, when he is detained
by a telephone message from some ore
OF his numerous little friends, whe de

Mrhn MidnI.ht Alarm

The piece is cOrker from the word 60
and fairly bristles all through with OPP
portunities for the artist 10 get in his
''fine Italian hand" and "bring down
the house" in the good old orthodox
style. The scene of the struggle with
the william, the Midnight Alarm and the
Flight Of the Engine to the fire was
whore the gentle gallery god got on tip
toe and frantically endeavored to turn
himself inside out in his desire to eX-
pr0As his delight with the thrilling sit
uation. And it was thrilling, too. Par
uuet and dress circle were just as deeply
Interested and wildly demOnstrativs as
the "small boy" over this realistic scene,
and gave more up- )ariouS evidence of
genuine appreciation. Act first opens
on the East River, New York, within
sight OF the famous Brooklyn bridge,
with the villain being foiled in the etfOrt
to injure little orphan girl, who stands
between him and fortune. Act second
transpires on the farm Of Uncle Gideon,
where the little girl has been taken, and
the celenr ii m at the forieth wedding
anniversary of the rural couple. Act
third brings the spectators back to New
York, where a series of ingeniOusly con-
trived scenes and complications, includ-
ing 1.-THE Living Statue Clock" are in
trodaced. Act fourth is chuck full of
sensationalism. 1t opens in the interior
of the Hayes truck house, in New York.
The gong peals out the alarm, and then
m the engine, vomiting flame and
smoks and drawn by two superb horses.
the steamer bling whirled across the
age in giffy, forming a magnificent
piece of stage mechanism. TO say that
the effect of this climax is electrical is
wholly gratuitous, for it is just here that
the enthusiasm is pandemonium itself
let loose, and that the roof of the thea.
tire shows signs of taking sky ward
flight. In act fifth is where villainy gets
sat down on relcntlessly, the hero is
made supremacy happy and the audience
dispSrses with perfect self satisfaction.
