April l5 1892.
We have no doubt at all that the
seeming Indifference of the United
States to the importan &c of having n
navy and merchant marine is source
of great rejoicing among Canadians and
subjects of Queen Victoria. But what
we cannot understand is why Ameri.
cans, even though they be mugwumps,
should be so utterly opposed to any
measures looking to the restoration OF
American supremacy on the ocean.
Only the other day when the question
as to the ACCESSIBILITY of building some
more ships for our navy was under dis
cussion in the house of representatives,
there were not few congressman who,
for the sake of being considered ''pru-
dent and thrifty statesmen" opposed
the bill on the ground that at present
lin view of the approaching election
probably the great necessity was
ECONOMY in public appropriations. "
And so the English laugh in their
sleeves and keep on quietly pocketing
the MILL ons of dollars they receive an
nually for doing our carrying trade.

ONLY Ten and Drunk,

Such was the announcement of a re-
cent morning paper, which gave an ac'
count of the finding, by Hoboken po-
liceman, of Thomas Bradley, boy only
ten years old, staggering through Sec
ond street, of that city. The boy was
drunk, and before reaching the police
station he was so much overcome by
the effects of the liquor he had taken
that the policeman was obliged to car
ry him. The boy was laid on cot and
the city physician gave him some medi-
cine to counterfeit the effects Of the
liquor. He remained unconscious I'M
til late in the afternoon, when he re-
covered and was sent home. 1t was
learned on investigation that the boy,
while visiting saloon where his broth
err is employed as bartender, drank a
quantity of whisky. The saloon is a
continual peril, but is especially mem
ace to the safety and purity of GoyhoOd.

habit of using it too often. My guide

as often as 1t happened in distilleries,

satisfied with the odor with which the
place was impregnated, and which new.

THE INHERITED APPETITE.

Children Blasted by the Sins OF Thel,
Parents.
There was q hard-drinking man al.
ways able to attend to business. But
he transmitted to his children such
vitiated constitutions that all died early
Of disease except one, whom I knew.
He had chronic dyspepsia. The appe'
tite for liquor descended on the second
generation with terrible power. Ht
daughter early died with consumption.
One son committed suicide for fear of a
second attack of the delirium tremens.
The second son walked right on in the
same path till he was placed where he
could get no liquor. He lives in that
confinement yet.
Intoxicating drinks not only blunt
all the finer feelings, cloud the intel.
lect and ruin the health of the drinker,
but descend with fearful power on sue
ceeding generations. The very men
who take every pains to improve the
breed of their horses, cows and hogs,
are so living as to deteriorate the race
of their own children. They care more
for the pure blood of their cattle than
the pure blood of their children. The
worst of this sin is that it is self.perpet.
uating and extending. If it would use
up the present drinkers only, it would
not be SO bad But it is the horrid
Minotaur that constantly demands
hecatombs of our children. It
"Gropes in yet unblasted regions for its misera
BILE prey;
Shall we guide its CORY fingers where our help
less children play"

Internal Revenue.

During the first seventy-tive years OF our
national existence there were collected
from internal taxation about So, 900, 900.
OF this 81, 600, 900 went to pay the debts
OF the revolutionary war; Si,OOO,0OO to
defend ourselves against France at the
close of the last century, and SIS, 900, 900
were required to defray the cost of the
war of 1912.
From 1920 to 1S47 only about 100000
were derived from internal revenue, and
from 1S47 to 1868 nothing whatever
Since 1868 the internal taxes have pro-
duced a revenue of over $4,000, 900, 900.
This means of revenue is no longer in
dispensable Our Tariff should be so
adjusted as to do away, for the most
part, with this form of taxation. We
can arrange our custom duties so as to
make foreigners pay a large share of
our national revenue and so tighten the
burden of our own people.
Something was done in this direction
By the Mckinley tariff.
To further reduce internal taxes
would relieves the industries in which
distilled spirits are used.
It would relieve the tobacco industry.
1t would remove thousands of tax
ga.herers and decrease the national ex-
penses by several millions.
1t would be in accordance with our
constitution and our American policy.
1t is the policy of the republican
party.
1t is advocated by all friends of the
temperance cause.
The republican national platform of
1883 said:
We favor the entire repeal of internal taxes
rather than the surrender Of any part Of our
protective system at the joint behest of the
whisky trusts and the agents of foreign manu-
factureTs
From resolutions of the Union League
. club of New York:
We advocate al the earliest practicable day
the abolition Of the internal revenue depart
r,ent as the safest and wisest means of reduc'
ing the surplus ana preserving unimpaired the
great principle of protection TO American in
dustry

clubof Philadelphia;

of taxation should be repealed by congress, and

to bring this about at as early day as possible

HARASSED WOOL MEN.
They Have Always Been the Objects
-.. Free Trade Attacks.

They Have Always Been the Objects oi
Free Trade Attacks.
Magnificent as has been the showing
of tke wool industry in the United
States in the past twenty-five years, yet
it has during that time encountered a
constant friction Whenever the demo-
cratic, party has been in power, which,
unfortunately for the wool interest, has
been much too often, it has brought in
a free-wool bill, and we think it is no
nearer fruition now than in Fernando
Woods time or Morrison's time or
Mills time. And yet the democrats put
the fat in the fire always, not only their
own, but unfortunately, the fat which
the wool industry should have. As it Is
now j: is rather lean after twenty to
thirty years of democratic agitation of
free wool. What is the most puzzling
in it all is that a man engaged in any
way in wool growing or wool manufac-
turing should ever vote the democratic
ticket, and it would seem as though
only by hypnotism or witchcraft could
any sane man be induced to vote for
party which has done nothing but
harass the wool industry. 1t has been
all loss and no gain, for not step has
been gained by them, and only for the
selfish desire of a party cry do they talk
free wool.
We are quite sure that the common
sense of the people will again bury the
democratic party for a time, but, I'M
fortunately, there is always resurrec-
ton like that of 1890, and then comes
again free wool. We must have patience
and down the devil whenever he turns
up. Our sympathy goes out to those in
the wool industry, for the many ship
wrecks of fortune of the past thirty
years are almost wholly due to free
wool agitation of the democrats. And
what have they gained by it? 1t has
occasioned not only loss to wool men,
but, likewise, loss to the democrats, as
Grover Cleveland may remember. Now
in 1892 the democratic party again
throws down the Cleveland gauntlet
| viii not the answer of 1892 be the same
as in 1888? We think 30, or the wool
growers and wool manufacturers have
forgotten their cunning. 'Whom the
gods wish to destroy they first make
mad" but this recurrent madness
makes it worth our while to put the en-
tire democratic party into bedlam or We
go to ruin ourselves.

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
DRINKERS ALL KNOW IT.

And paint the town brilliantly red;
But soon In the gutter
With misery utter
He'll wish with curse he was dead
Aman who drinks brandy
Win feel like dandy
A long as the smells on his breath
But soon In tho 'tremens
Snakes, bogies and demons
win chase him and scare him to death
A man who drinks wine

And play funny antics and shout;
But for 1t he'll pay
With headaches next day,
And die when he's young from the gouA
A man who drinks gin
With pleasure will grin
And have what he calls good time,
Till with red nose
And dirty old clothes,
He, homeless, will beg for dime.
A man who drinks rum
win think it's yum-yum,
For, maybe, an hour or so,
Till, poisoned his blood
And brains turned to mud,
He dies in sad spasms OF woe.
A man who drinks beer
Feels good for year,
And thinks 1t don't hurt him biz
Till bloated and red
And hog-like in head,
He falls on the street in q it
An app jack drinker
Feels gay as tinker
Until the bad feeling comes on;
Then, nerves in culver,
He jumps in the river.
Or blows of his head with gun

AS everyone ought ter,
Enjoys to the utmost his life;
He's happy and healthy
Respected and wealthy,
And loved by his children and wife.

THERE are thirty-two thousand fami-

A CAMEL will work seven or eight

The United States government has
signed the treaty for the suppression of
the slave trade with Africa. and the
limitation (why not the prohibition?)
of the importation of rum. This agree
ment protects population of one hun
bred and twenty-five million.
The new government regulations re-
quiring distilled spirits to be weighed
instead of gagged for taxation purposes
are squeezing the whisky trust. The
internal revenue department officials
have gathered some statistics on the
subject and the figures show that in the
Chicago and Peoria districts the daily
increase in receipts of taxes from spirits
is over So, 900. This is due, it is said
wholly to the change to the weighing
system, which is absolutely accurate,
whereas under the old plan from one to
two gallons of spirits in each barrel es-
capped taxation.

How 1t Works.

The Mckinley law is doing more to
build up industries and give employ
ment to labor than any other system
that could be adopted; it is depopulat-
ing manufacturing districts in Europe,
but populating our own; it is transfer
ring capital, man ufactures and skilled
laborers from other lands to ours; it is
developing the ia lent of our inventors,
and multiplying labor-saving machin-
cry; it is adding to our population, en-
terprises. wealth and demand for capi-
tai and labor; it is charging the pro.
duet of our mines of coal and iron and
copper and cinnabar and zinc and our
quarries of stone, and is opening up our
mines of tin. 1t is supplying needed
revenue, and compelling foreign manu-
facturerS to pay good part of it, The

Protection Benefits Whom?

Every man, woman and child in the
country.
There are no unprotected trades
Those so-called, the building trades
for example, have absolutely prohibit
tive protection.
You cannot import cellars or houses
to drive the mason or carpenter out of
employment
Tariff protection is intended merely
to do for glass blowers and wool growers
what nature has done for the mason
and the carpenter.
But even in tariff protection all the
other classes are interested.
For whom does it protect?
The farmer, the manufacturer and the
mill hand may be more directly bene-
fitted, but the good results Of our pro-
tective tariff reach all.
Where would the lawyer and doctor
get their generous fees if clients and
patients were out of work or received
free trade wages?
Where would the merchant, the
clerk, the bookkeeper, the stenographer,
the typewriter and even the office boy
make a living if there were no Gus
toners with wcll-filled purses?
And if the professional man or mer-
chant could not build or rent the roomy
home or store or Office, where would the
mason, the carpenter and the painter
get his 81 and So per day?
How would the engineer, the fireman,
the conductor and the brakeman fare if
no money could be afforded for passen-
ger and freight transportation?
How would free trade journals thrive
without prosperous advertisers and nu-
merous buyers?
And yet they tell us that only about 3
per cent. of our labor and industry is
protected. The 81 per cent, they say, is
taxed to protect the 3 per cent. But they
are just 81 per cent. out of the way.
Protection protects and it protects US
all.-American Economist
