Russell Harrison on Blaine.

The New York World quotes Russell
Harrison. son of the President, as say
ing in the corridors of the hotels in
New York, that MIR. Blaine is COM
pletely broken down both mentally and
physically" He declares also that Mr..
Blaine's memory is so much impaired
that he cannot recall the simplest
things: that he can scarcely more than
sign his name; that he rarely, if ever,
reads the public documents he signs,
and that he ..is almost as helpless as a
child
1t is possible that Russell Harrison's
statements have been somewhat exag-
gerated, but he is undoubtedly right in
assuming that Mr.. Blaine's nomination
for President is entirely out of the
question. That Mr.. Blaine is so great
ly prostrated physically that mental
prostration, to a greater or less extent
must inevitably follow, is no longer a
question of dispute among those who
are intelligently informed on the SUBJ
ject. Certainly no sincere friend of
Mr.. Blaine's can for a moment enter
tain the question of pressing him as a
Presidential candidate. and but for the
earnest desire of many of the party
leaders to escape from the renomina-
ton of Harrison the name OF Blaine
would never be suggested for the posi-
ton in his present shattered health.
That Mr.. Blaine is much the strong
est Republican candidate for President
goes without saying. He is the most
magnetic of all the Republican leaders;
he is the only statesman developed
during the present administration, who
is big enough to save his party from
utter suicide in passing a monopoly tar
if bill: and the only vital issue the
party has left for 1892 is the reciproc-
ity feature of the Mckinley Tariff, that
was stubbornly rejected by the party
leaders in both the House and Senate,
until after Blaine's heroic assaults upon
the bill compelled the acceptance OF
reciprocity.
Mr.. Blaine is, therefore, not only be-
cause of his personal popularity, but be-

A Bloody Record.

The Taney county grand jury has
adjourned without finding any indict-
mentS against the parties who murder
ed Sheriff Williams. In any other
county than fancy this would be in the
nature of a surprise, but it is a locality
where cowardly assassinations have
been common since the close of the
war. People familiar with the case
will not feel disappointed at the result.
however much chagrin it may be to
realize that there is county in Mis-
souri, where cowardly assassins can
safely mock justice.
1t is the custom for Republican pa
pers to charge the Democratic party
with the responsibility of such bloody
crimes as have made fancy county
famous, and in this connection we think
it proper to state that Taney county
has been hot-bed of Republication
since the beginning of the civil war.
cannot be charged with the enforce
ment of the law. 1t has protested
against the reigning lawlessness there
since the recent murders, and this is
all that it can do. Let it be remember
ed that fancy county is Republican to
the core and that Republican officials
are responsible for the non-enforcement
OF law.
We do not believe that the law can
ever be vindicated in fancy county un-
til substantial aid is furnished by the
State. The local authorities are either
unwilling or unable to bring assassins
to justice. Murder is comparatively a
safe crime in that county. Over seven
ty murders (most of them cowardly as
sassinations) have been committed in
fancy within the last twenty years and
not single murderer has been punish
ed. With such record, what can be
expected of local authorities?- ?-Jefcr-
son City Tribune.

Testimony of the Fathers.

| The recent appointment of Mr..
Thomas Jefferson Coolidge of Boston as
| Minister to France. and the announce
ment that he was of the party of his
great ancestor, Thomas Jefferson, until
| that party undertook its war upon the
| Protective system in 1888. have given
new circulation to the perennial false

| Protectionist. | have already in a pa
per in The Repwblic, exposed this cal
umny upon the memory of the founder
of the Democratic party by citing cop
ious extracts from his reports and writ
ings. The new connection in which
the charge is made may justify the
quotation of another expression of Mr.
jefferson. contained in letter of May
-. 1890, to his son-in-law, Thomas
Mann Randolph, ancestor, if / mistake
not, of Minister Coolidge. 1T is i'm
possible that the world should continue
long insensible to so evident a truth
that the right to have commerce and
intercourse with our neighbors is a
natural right. To suppress this neigh
borlv intercourse is an exercise of force
which we shall have just right to re-
move with superior force"
Mr.. Madison went further perhaps
than any of the great leaders of the
JefTersonian party in his concession of
protection to infant manufactures. but
among his earliest recorded utterances
on the subject made when he introduce
ed his first tariff bill into the House of
Representatives even before the inaug-
uration of President Washington, he
said: Il own myself the friend to
very free system of commerce, and hold
it as truth that commercial shackles
are generally unjust, oppressive and
impolitic. 1t is also truth that if in
dustry and labor are left to take their
own course they will generally be di-
rected to those objects which are the
most enlightened Legislature could point
out He explained this idea by say
ing: ''It would be of no advantage to

Free Trade England.

1t is simply a mockery of our Ameri-
can industry to levy high taxes upon the
necessaries of business and of life up
on theory of protecting domestic work.
men, while we have free trade in for
eign labor. There is hardly protect
ed establishment in the United States
of any kind that does not employ, to a
grea,er or less extent, the cheap paup-
er labor that is constantly surging up
on our shores. and it is only natural
that this class of ignorant laborers
should readily adopt all measures of
violence and lawlessness in any contest
for advanced wages.
The meeting of the State Council y
the United Order of American Mechan'
les, held at Allentown, has given fresh
inspiration to this vital question OF.
putting some embargo upon free trade
in pauper labor. 1t has become tho
great curse of American industry; it
has lowered the standard of American
workmen; it has spread lawlessness
and violence which never could have
obtained among American laborers,
and it is to-day performing an incalcul-
able amount of labor on the basis of
the cheapest wages, to the exclusion of
our legitimate industries.
1t is the policy of the United States
to encourage foreign immigration SO
far as it can add to our wealth and
good citizenship. There is no preju-
dice against foreigners amongst the
great mass of American people. They
have open doors to our citizenship; to
high honors and public trusts, and the
fact that they are represented in prom
inent offices in every State of the Union-
proves that the people of every race
are welcome to come, to make homes
amongst us and become American citi-
zens. But with these good elements
from foreign shores comes herd OF
the very scum of the earth; ignorant.
brutal and incapable of appreciating
citizenship, and until they shall be ex-
cluded it will be idle to talk about pro-
tecting American workingmen. High
tax laws will only oppress them as long
as there shall be free trade in the pau
per labor of the Old World. The true
policy of protection is to exclude ignO-
rant and lawless laborers and to give
to American industry free raw materials
from every part of the earth. .-Pitd-
delphia Times.

money for the purchase of such neces-
saries. 1t is also proposed that san

tablshments shall be maintained at the

but they also think that number of
public lavatOries for washing the face
and hands should be maintained
throughout the city. Still another re-
form, which cannot be taxed with ex-
travagance. is the concession to work
ing people of gratuitous medical serv-
ice and of pharmacies where prescrip-
tiOns may be made up at reduced prices.
A point in which the Paris workingmen
go beyond anything existing on this
side OF the Atlantic is the proposal that
legal advice shall be furnished free of
cost in actions in which laboring men
are interested. Our courts will always
assign a lawyer to defend a poor man
accused Of crime. but we do not provide
legal advice gratuitously for poor men
in civil actions. There is another feat
ure, however, of the Paris Socialist
programme which has long ranked
fer to the demand that municipal Office
holders shall be remunerated at a rate
equal to the maximum pay of working
men, in order that there may not be
excluded from the municipal admins

its labor on which to live.
A review of the innovations here sug-
gested will demonstrate that in the
present demands, at all events, of the
most numerous group of French Social
lists, known as Collectivists, there is no
formidable menace to society. Many
Of the concessions which the Paris
Socialists demand are already enjoyed
by workingmen in the United States,
and all Of them might be granted with
out shaking the foundations of social
order. But it may be said that, if these
moderate reforms were made, new and
inadmissible demands would forthwith
be put forward. That does not follow.
If workingmen in Franco and Germany
Were as fortunately situated as are
those of the United States, there is no
reason to doubt that the great majority |
would show themselves equally con-
tented with the existing state of things. |
Men are not easily persuaded to barter |

to Prof. Davis of the University of Fir-
ginia. he wrote :. For myself. al

Nor can the supporters of the Nc

When there was surplus revenue un-
der the administration of Mr.. Jefferson,
by the substitution of economy for tax
alton, and Mr.. jefferson urged the re-
peal of the internal revenue laws which
gathered a million dollars at the cost
of several hundred thousand for their
collection. Mr. Hamilton criticised him
in a series of letters over the signature
..Publius Crassus." and said in sub
stance: do not get rid of the surplus
by abolishing internal taxes; reduce
the tariff duties and stimulate naviga-
ton and commerce.
Compare this method with that pur-
sued by the trainers of the Mckinley
bill. who got rid of a surplus revenue
by increasing the tariff in protected
articles, thereby seeking still further to
suppress navigation and commerce. 1t
was Mr.. Hamilton also who gave utter
ance to the great truth which every
farmer in the Mississippi Valley ought
to paste in his hat when Protectionist
speakers are around preaching the
benefit of home markets and hampered
trade: 1T has been found in various
countries that in proportion as COM
merce has fourished land has risen in
value"
The same laws which to-day shut
him out from profitable markets for his
farm products and take from him as
taxes for the Government and as boun-
ties for its favorites so large a share of
those products are depressing the value
readily salable. The home market for
land is steadily going down under the
system, for a law that con-
fiscates so large part of the fruits of
the farmers labor cannot help shrink
ing the value of the farmers capital

Meets Desperate Resistance.

tie mountain village of Mill Run, u miles
southeast of this place, was the scene of q
desperate fight Saturday night between
Farmer John C. O'Donnell and family on the
one side, and Constable Sigel Bingham and
five deputies on the other One of O'Don-
nell's neighbors recently sued him to re-
cover a debt of Sc, and Judgment was rem
dered. Last Saturday the constable went to
O'Donnells homo and tried to levy on
horse. Mr.. O'Donnell elected the constable,
who returned to the village and secured the
services of his two brothers, James and
Jacob Cummings and John Williams. The
squad, led by Bingham, went directly to the
barn, where they expected to levy on the
horse.
AS the posse entered the yard they were
met by ten Irishmen, led by ODonnell, each
with shotgun at his shoulder, while Mrs.
backed them up with a reserve line of pitch
forks axes and other war-like implements.
One OF the deputies dashed O'Donnell's gun
from his shoulder, causing the weapon to
discharge in the air. This was the signal for
a fierce pitched battle which lasted for some
time. The O'Donnell family fought like
demons The conflict lasted until O'Donnell
fell forward on his face. struck down by two
pistol shots. The injured man was then
handcuffed and the deputies levied on the
horse at last O'Donnell has an ugly wound

condition is critical. He came from Pitts

Close estimates made by the principal de

assets are an unknown quantity outside of

bank closed last Friday the great bulk of
depositors were not aware of their misfor-
tune until they came into town Saturday.
Then scores of farmers hammered cease

prominent oil producers found their bank

larger list than has been imagined.
To-day, while Hoyt was in his office a
depositor entered and demanded HIS money.

furious customer shook his fist in Hoyt's
