TEMPLATES are as cheap in this coun-
try now as they were two or three years
ago, the LIZ cent additional duty being
paid by the foreign tin-plate monopoly.
Nevertheless, SO devoted is the Demo-
cratic House to the interests of foreign
manufacturers that they propose to put
tin-plates on the free list, which would
crush the growing tin-plate industry in
this country and give the British mo-
it to make the price, as it has in the

THE New York World has dropped
back to it's old vocation of misrepre-
sentatiOn. 1t begins an editorial headed
Indiana" with the wonderful statement
that the Presidents denomination is re-
ceived in various parts of Indiana with
coldnesS, and after few paragraphs,
makes the following statement:
Last spring, in the local elections, the
Democrats retained their lead and carried
the Presidents own city and ward by
handsome majCrities.
The Republicans are well satisfied
with the general results of the spring
elections. AS for the Presidents ward
and city, there was no election in either
last spring, and at any other election
the Democrats have not carried tho
original ward in which the President
lived. But it is a campaign in which
misrepresentation is the only hold of
the Democracy.

NEW IDEA IN POLITICAL ECONOMY.

A Washington special to the Chicago
ues to paralyze our import trade in spite
of the large export of breadstuffs which
are demanded in Europe by the failure
of foreign crops" An attempt is made
to prove this assertion by citing figures
which show that the imports into the
United States for ten mouths ending
April 30, 1890, were $643, $50, 7O2, while
those for ten months ending April 30,
1892, were $3.50, 6S7, $50. This shows an
apparent increase of nearly S43. 000,00
but it is insisted that, in proportion to
the population of the country, it shows
an actual loss in business.
1t is new idea in political economy
that the prosperity of a country is meas
ured by its imports, and that falling
off in these indicates paralysis of trade,
especially when exports are largely in
creased. 1t has been supposed hereto
fore that the larger the balance of trade
in favor of the cOuntry-that is, the
greater the excess of exports over i'm
pOrts-the better for the country, but
this able fnancier holds different view.
We do not think the American people
will trouble themselves over any ''pa-
ralysis of our import trade" caused by
the Mckinley bill az long as our exports
continue to increase. Whatever falling
off in our imports may occur, and there
has been none yet, will simply represent
the increased consumption of American
products and the Increased prosperity
of American manufactures. The coun-
try can stand good deal of that kind
of paralysis.

NONE of the war history which is now

WHEN O man quotes poetry in a speech
at q national convention he runs the risk
of having it badly mangled in Transmission
by telegraph. The wires are so overloaded
that the feet of the lines are apt to get
tangled and the rhy mes drop by the way
side. This was tho fate of the stanzas with
which Mr.. j. Sloat Fassstt. temporary
chairman of the Minneapolis convention,
closed his address to that body last week.
Probably no two papers had them alike
next morning, the corrections having been
made according TO editorial memory and
not by comparison with the original.
Every editor who went to Sunday school in
his youth or on Friday afternoons recIted
nice little moral verses selected by his
mamma or his teacher vaguely recalled
those lines, but accurate verbal memories
are rarc, and the amendments and
corrections were varied accordingly.
AS frequently those verses and others by
tho same poet appear in juvenile and phil
anthropic literature. they are not found IN
bartlett" OF "Allibone," or any standard
dictionary of quotations. nor is the name
of their author, Gerald Massey, gwen in
those works. and yct Massey is o vOlumi-
nous writer. and much quoted by people
who care more for good moral sentiment
than poetic thought. But even those per-
sons, as before remarked, should beware of
sending their favorite stanzas by wire, for
when moral sentiment does get mixed it
is as likely to come out immoral as any
thing else. That the meaning of Fassett's
lines was fairly clear when presented to
the public was due rather to the cOnscien-
tious efforts of weli-read editors than to
any other cause.

Preaching over Old Sermons.

The scandal arising from bought SER
mons, which unfortunately are often
sold in duplicate and even triplicate,
has caused at least one bishop hence
forth to forbid their use in his diocese.
He has no objection to his clergy preach
ing the sermons of other divines if the
authorship is acknowledged, and even
considers that an original discourse once
a week is as much as can be reasonably
expected from the average curate; but
there must be no duplicity in the mat
ter. There has always been danger in
the purchased sermon.
Recognition Of the borrowed work. i
from a well known source, is also al
ways possible, or nearly always.

ingenious plan for evading it, whicl

The majority of the committee of the
New York legislature that has been in
yestigating Judge Maynard's conduct in
the case of the Duchess county return,
have done what everybody supposed they
would do, whitewashed the culprit. ANY
other report than this would have been
tantamount to an impeachment of the
titles of several members of the House.
without whom the Democrats would
have been in the minority; it would have
been practically an admission that the
Democrats had stolen the Assembly, in
asmuch as it was Judge Maynard's act
which created their majority. Of course
the opinion of nobody in New York will
be changed by this report. With all
fair-minded people the report of the New
