WHEN the Republican party came into power in 1861 it found revenue system totally inadequate to the ordi- nary expenses of the Government. MT. Buchanan's administration had ex- pended about S60,O00,0O0 more than its receipts. To repair this inadequate system, as we'll es to provide as far as
 possible for the extraordinary expendI- lures of the war, a new tariff was framed and on protective lines. Many changes have been made since then, first to force up the revenue to the highest available point, and then after the war to reduce the levies as fast as the eXigencies of the Treasury would allow. And the success for these financial measures is now a matter of history. The world
 was astonished at the magnitude of our income at the rapid payment of the war debt. at the immense reductions our tax schedules, at the appreciation of our credit, at the accumulation of specie in
 lllo NdtlOudl lIcoSuly. " hleuOut SOibk into particulars, it will suffice to say that no nation in all the Worlds history can present financial record at all comparable with ours. The one fact to be impressed upon you is, that in every change in our revenue laws made
 by the Republican party, whether to
 increase or reduce the revenue, the
 tariff was always adjusted on protection lines; and every such adjustment has been eminently successful as financial measure. Our latest tariff-the Me K;nIey bill-is eminently a protective tariff. While its free list has been ex- tended beyond any former precedents, its protective duties have had strict re- ference to competitive imports, and to the higher scale of wages and of living in the United States, compared with other countries. Against this policy
 the Democratic party is now making it's fight.

MExICo's ERA OF PEOsPERITY.

HARPER's WEEKLY pays the follow ing high tribute to Porfirio Diaz the present President of Mexico.
 To whom is due the past ten years peace and prosperity? To President Portirio Diaz alone. And even if there are two or three ugly little reminicen- ces during them, they were forced upon him for the good of the commonwealth.
 The country has been actually at peace for the first time since it's birth. From being an Ultima Thule, it has taken it's place among the nations. Its Railroads, telegraphs, electric lighting, steamboat lines, its diplomatic relations, with other countries, the development of it's wonderful natural riches-mihes, timber, hemp, coffee, tobacco, sugar, rubber and an intinity of other things end, above all, its educational system all these are due to the brains and de- termination of Porfrio Diaz. Long may he live to govern the country! Never IIo bhO being called republic when it IS really a military despotism. If your despot is an able and honest man. it Is the best form of government the world knows.
 There is now really no strong man in Mexico to take Daz's place. General Corona-murdered, alas! by lunatic 8 short while ago-was broad and able enough to have succeeded him, but there is no man else. The fierce old General Gonzales, the one-armed ex- President, who feareth neither man, God or devil, is as happy as sick man can be in his Goyernorship of Guana- juato, and ke has not the following to oppose DiaZ.

THE Senate will have-to be depended upon to save the representatives of the United States abroad from the humili- atlon which the Democratic majority of the House would put upon them by the absurd reduction of salaries made in the Consular and Diplomatic appropri- ation bill, which passed the House early last week.

A Pocket Fire-Escape.

A correspondent of the Ameri-
can Architect describes the success
full working of novel fire-escape.
If the invention is what it appears
to be it is very ingenious, and like
" to prove of great benefit to man
kind. A public trial of it was made
from the top of the new Masonic
Temple at Chicago.
The pocket fire-escape consists
of metallic tape one-quarter of an
inch wide and thirty-second of an
inch thick, running on steel reel,
which is fastened to a web belt
passing about the waist.
I. The reel is provided with a brake
by means of which the person can
control the speed of his descent.
There is also an automatic break
to keep a required tension on the
tape, and thus prevent sudden
drop. The end Of the tape is pro-
vided with a thumb-screw, which
can be fastened to the window-sill
or any object in the room. In ap-
pearance the machine is like fish,
erman's reel, and is about twice the
size Of spool of thread.
The beginning of the experiment
seemed perilous in the extreme
The inventor fixed the thumbscrew
fastened the web belt about his
waist and stepped off apparently
into space from the twentieth
story.
At first he descended slowly, then
! faster and faster, till it seemed Al
if he must have lost control Owe
the little machine, the slender tap'
of which could scarcely be seen
and at any time looked no large
| than an ordinary cord.
| At the tenth story he stoppet
suddenly, and then descended again
rapidly and slowly by turns, unit
he came to the scafolding wher
were several workmen. There b.
took three men on the escape
with him and thus dropped to tn
ground.

Budding Peaches.

September is very good time
for budding your peaches. DIR.
White, one of our authorities, says
about the only difference between
budding at the North and in the
South is this: North of Virginia
budding is done from the mid
die of July to the middle of Sep
TENDER, while further South buds
are inserted at any time when the
sap is up sufficiently to raise the
bark and there are buds, say from
the first of June to the last of DC
tober, depending upon the locality.
The buds set late remain dormant
till the next spring, while those
set early come out and make con-
siderable growth in the season of
setting. The main condition, SO
far as relates to the South, is an
easy raising Of the bark. Drought
sometimes destroys this condition
in midsummer, but it may be re-
stored by the first good shower Of
rain to follow. OF course we need
give you no instruction on how to
bud, for the process is the same
everywhere.

DR.. WIN. G.. Deal.

At his home near Paramount,
Grant parish, La, DR.. VIM. u.
Deal departed this life at the hour
of 2 am. Wednesday, June l, 1892,
after lingering illness of three
years, the most of which time he
was bedridden and entirely help
less.
He was born of Quaker paren-
tage about the year 1872, and rear
ed to early manhood in and near
the city of Baltimore, Maryland.
In 1849 he went to California,
where he amassed considerable
wealth, which he lost in success
sion of destructive fires. While in
California he attained notoriety for
his kindness and activity in afford
ing relief to distressed miners, and
was instrumental in establishing
institutions of public benefit. He
was always moral and religiousiy
inclined, and in social converse aud
communication with men his utter
ances were of a high and elevating
character. He was a man of fine
scholarly attainments, and eminent
for Christian charity and byotherly
love for his fellows, and in his long
and eventful life he made warm
friends and admirers by the thou
sand.
He held a commission as sur
geon in the Federal army for IL or
Is years, and in that capacity was
stationed at number of prominent
points in the United States, CON-
ing to Colfax with the troops
shortly after the Grant parish
troubles in 1873. AT the removal
of the troops from Colfax, he re-
signed from the army and CON-
menced to practice medicine as Q

time has been one of the most
prominent and useful citizen OF the
parish.
He was married and leaves hif
