Seal Rookeries of Alaska Ineffect-
ually Guarded.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Capt. Healey,
of the United States revenue cutter
Bear, reports his arrival at San Fran
cisco from Alaska. He says that the
present system of guarding the seal
rookeries is Intellectual. The rough
weather that prevails about the islands
prevents revenue cutters from ap
preaching the shore close enough to be
of any service. If they go close enough
for service they run imminent risk OF
being dashed to pieces upon the shore
and wrecked. The darkness that pre-
walls for sixteen to eighteen hours out
of the twenty-four increases the risks
run and prevents those afloat from
seeking marauders. Even with all
these obstacles, one vessel can only
guard small coast and he thinks that
police patrol of sufficient strength
should be stationed on shore and pa
troll the coast. A vessel. too, should be
kept there to act in conjunction with
the land guard.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-'rhe news Of
the prostration of Justice Lamar at At

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The friends

certain that the Torrey bill will get a
special order from the committee, as
Speaker Crisp has heretofore stated
that he would bring in special rule
whenever so requested to do by party
of his colleagues. A special order does
not signify anything save that the bill

Is doubtful; or else the poor do not eat or

above sentence, through the ruinous f.
nanclal legislation of the Republican
party for the past thirty years, Is too near
being true.
Blalne's reciprocity, which Is practi-
cally free trade, works too well for the

Rico by our government, 1t is estimated,

tries over billion of dollars year.
The Republicans did not think 1t would

So as soon as they learned 1t was prac-
tIcslly free trade and was benefit to the
toiling millions, they determined to des-
troy 1t. And when this sanity party
met at Minneapolis they set themselves
to work to crush this anti-RepubliCan
doctrine out, and they effectually
squelched it by vote of 722 to IT'S, over
four to one, and re-aflrmed the doctrine
Of protection, pure and simple.
The lsboring, consuming millions Of

would like a small space of your
Wide-awake paper, in which to review
statement In the Lyndon Journal, Re-
publican paper, on the tariff question. l
want to show you how wise the Republi-
can editors think they are, and how fool
Ish they think other people must be to
believe their wild and untrue statements
In regard TO the American tariff.
Lombard and Wall street gold enters
largely into these wild and weird tariff
statements. Is 1t not a shame and dis
grace that this fair land of ours, be-
questhed to US by the sons of toll, should
now be run against the interests of the
laboring classes, and in the interest and
by the influence Of Brltishg oldH
In other words, the major part Of the
financial legislation of this once free re-
public, Is made at the behest and die
tstion Of foreign gold. And this ques-
ton of tariff legislation is one of them.
Aud here is what our Republican
journalistic friend has to say upon that
subject:
One of the main differences between free
trade and protective tariff is, that the
former is always paid mainly by the poor,
while the latter, when it is not paid by the
foreigner, falls exclusively on the rich and
well-to.dO.
We're ever words strung together that
expressed more inconsistency and un-
truth, and II carried into practical effect,
as 1t has been for the past thirty years,
would be fraught with more danger to
the welfare and perpetulty Of this repub-
lie than thoseP How could poor man,
under free trade system, pay tariff,
when there was none to pay?
This Is Republican philosophy.
These are the questions that Republl-
can Office holders say the common peo-
pie cannot understand.
But, says Mr.. Republican editor, "the
protective tariff Is either paid by the for
eigner or else falls erclusiVely On the rich
and well-to-do.p
Life Is too short to continually follow
up these Republican place hunters and
gold seekers, and prove to them time sf-
ter time that the tariff duty is always
added to the original price of the article.
