A Compromise.
SILVER MEN In THE SENATE
AGREE UPON ONE.
1t VIII lie Submitted to the Repeal
S~enators-A Significant Utter
ance by voorhees,.

CITY OF WASHINGTON, Oct. Sit
is understood that a compromise has
been agreed upon by the silver men
in the Senate which will be submit
ted to the administration leaders on
Wednesday.
The compromise agreed upon is
that the Secretary of the Treasury be
directed to purchase and coin ,o0O,-
900 ounces of silver bullion monthly,
instead of 4,5OO, 900 ounces, as re-
quired by the present law. This
agreement was reached after a long
conference of silver men Saturday
night.
1t is believed that the repealers
will agree to this compromise. There
is only one Senator among the sill
yer men who is holding out against
this proposition, but it is believed
that he will surrender at the proper
time. Voorhees,, in his speech to-
day, said that it was not the inten'
ton of the administration, or the
friends of repeal, to demonetize sill
yer. This utterance on the part o
the administration leader is signiti
cant. 1t is said that Cleveland vii
not veto the proposed compromise

The Christian Church Meeting,


AT the Christian Church last night
services were opened by the read
ing of the 10Th chapter of Luke.
The singing was decidedly good. The
whole congregation joined in with
zeal and spirit. Acts 1890 was the
text-"And the times of this ignor-
ance God winked at, but now com
mandeth all men everywhere to re-
pent." Paul had just been viewing
the thirty thousand idol gods OF
Athens, and spoke of the one to the
unknown God, whom they igno-
rantly worshiped' There are many
things in the Bible which in our
ignorance we do not understand,
but not one upon which salvation
depends. Repentance is sorrow for
sin-a turning away from sin. l
would not try to make you believe
that you are the greatest sinner in
the world. You are not a murderer
or a thief, but you have committed
sin, and Heaven will not admit of
one sln-no sin can enter there.
One sin shuts Heavens gates on
you. You must repent of that one
sin and it be forgiven before you can
be saved. Those old in the service
of sin cannot come to the Saviour as
readily as those who have not wan
dered so far away. Give the old
white haired sinner more time. He
has a long ways to come. A moth

The Islands Deserted.

New ORLEANS, La, Oct. s.
Captain Julien LIE Forst, the lead
ing man among the survivors of the
Chemeie settlement, came up to
town yesterday, after spending sew
eral days in relief work on the
island. He places the number OF
the saved at 800, while the popula-
ton of the island bayous immedi-
ately connected with it was slightly
more than 1900, so that the total
loss there was 1900.
Captain LIE Forst says that the
island will be entirely abandoned
as a habitation of man. Few build
ings are left standing. The boats
and other means of livelihood are
gone and there is now no reason
why the people should remain on
the desolate stretch IF sand. Be-
sides, they now have a horror of the
place and fear a repetition of the
recent disaster. They are leaving
the island as fast as they can secure
transportation on the relief boats.

AN exchange very tersely says:
Governor Lewelling, who is so en-.
thusiastic on the subject of a new
sectional" party formed of the
South and West, should make ar
rangements with some friend ''tc
ring him off" when he gets on his
hobby. The people of this country
are sick and tired of sectional
parties now. There have been 'tsec.
tional' parties for the past twenty
five years, and one of the things
which make the overthrow of The
party in power during that time Sc
complete when it finally came wa:
its everlasting fostering of sectional
ism" The old sectionalism is al
most destroyed, but a sectional par
ty with the West and South alliet
against the East would be just a,
foolish, and, if successful, fatal t.
the perpetuity of the Government
Parties should be broader that
quarter section. They should no
favor one class of people or one sec
ton of the country. Governor Lew
cling is making a laughable mis-
take in supposing that a sectional
party would make Roadway in thi
country. Even the people of Kan
sas would vote against hal kind o
folly.

THERE is a great deal being writ

tionalism and we think the follow.
ing in reference TO Governor Till.
mans ideas, as expressed in the
late bimetallic convention in st.
Louis, from one of our exchanges
is very pertinent:
One of the objects of the conyen.
ton is to draw up a sort OF com.
mercial declaration Of independence
by the West and South as against
the rest of the country, and Till
mans yawp is intended as a sort
of preliminary to this proceeding.
The two sections named are ex-
peeted to enter into an offensive
and defensive alliance, and to refuse
to remain any longer the ''slave and
handmaiden of the North and East -
1t appears from what Tillman says
that these two sections have been
spaying toll' to Eastern States all
along, and the time has now arriv-
ed when this injustice should stop.

The Operation Of The Tariff.

The operation Of the tariff is SIM
pie. Under a so percent duty an
article worth 81 is imported, the 5oI
per cent duty added, and the con-
sumner buys it for $3.50. plus ex-
penses and profits. The tax is
either paid by the foreigner, who
sellssto us, or by the consumer OF
this country, who finally uses the
article. If paid by the foreigner,
then in the case above referred to
the foreigner reduces his price from
81 50 to 81, so that when the duty
is paid the price with the tariff
will be the same that it would have
been without the tariff. To show
the absurdity of this position it is
not necessary to inquire why the
protectionist advocates such a
variety of duties (why not treat all
foreign nations alike and subject
them to equal duties?) but it is
sufficient to say that a tariff which
is not paid by the consumer is OF
no benefit to the protected industry.
If the producer Of the protected
article receives the same price for
his goods with OF without a tariff,
what difference does it make to
hila whether the duty be high or
low? Ii he cannot compete with.
out the aid Of . tariff, how can it
help him except by enabling him
to charge higher price for his
itproduct? How can he charge
a higher price unless he can com
pei the consumer to pay it? And
how can he compel the consumer
to pay it unless the tariff increases
to the consumer the price of tbs
f competing article? The emily rea'
sonable or logical purpose of tht
. tariff, therefore, is to compel th'
consumer to buy at home at a higi
price by preventing a purchase
J abroad at a lower rate. It is herr
that the principle Of protection
t violates the right of The individual
and its establishment disregard

the Alleghenies to "pluek" the
rest of the country, and this is not
a new manifestation, either, but
it has been going on for a great
many years. If We understand the
Governor correctly, there is an
irrepressible conflict between the
interests of the West and South and
between those of the North and
East, and prosperity to the two
former sections can come only
when they trade more with each
other and directly with Europe and
less with the rest of the country
than they have done heretofore.
All this is the very quintessence OF
folly and crankery. No plucking or
toll levying is being perpetrated by
one section of the country upon an
other. This alleged discrimination
and conflict of interests exists only
in the exuberant and disordered
fancy of a few featherheads here and
those who represent nobody but
themselves, and who are repudiated
and laughed at by sensible persons
all over the country. Moreover, the
method by which these individuals
propose to remedy this imaginary
evil is wildly, madly absurd. As
we'll might they try to fetter the
winds or bid the Mississippi to flow
up stream as to arbitrarily mark out
by ukase the course of commerce.
In the world of trade as in the world
of physics movements proceed along
the lines of least resistance. The
natural laws which regulate the
paths ofcommerce between the West
and South and the East are as po-
tent and pervasive as those which
govern the movement of the tides
and the planets and cannot be sci
aside by DEGREES of Congresses OIL
) conventions. Nor is there any ne
cessity for a change. The interests
} of the different parts of the country
5 are harmonious and reciprocal. The
: existing order of things has beer
dictated by circumstances owe which
the people of neither locality have
= any control, and it is entirely safe tt
consider them the best that are prac
= ticable under the prevailing condi
tons. Attempts to array n par
of the people against another, on an.
: pretext or for any object, are crimi
= nal and should be condemned on al
hands. Upon the tragedy of sec
| tionalism the curtain was rung dow
. fully a generation ago, and the mai
who deliberately seeks to raise j
=. again is an enemy of his country.

One of Jul exchanges, favoring
bimetallism, says: "The longer BIZ
metallists follow the lead Of silver
monometallists the longer will they
have to wait for recognition and al
lowance of their claims.
Bimetallism is very strong in this
country. 1t has an overwhelming
majority of the people and nearly
every public man whose opinion is
worth quoting is committed to it.
The aus can be won if it is prop
er1y managed by its friends, but it is
almost sure to be lost if handed
over to those whose every effort is
exerted in another direction.
1t is admitted by all but those who
profit by it that the Sherman law is
a vicious enactment, which ought
never to have been passed. 1t did
not receive a single Democratic vote
in either House. 1t was denounced
at the time as an obstacle to a ra-
tional settlement of the question and
is admitted to be only a makeshift
by those who concocted it.
And yet Democratic bimetallists
are fighting the repeal of law whose
enactment they opposed. They con
fsss that it is bad; that it is hurting
the business interests of the coun-
try; that it was a step in the wrong
direction, and yet they meekly play
into the hands of silver monometal-
lists for. "strategic reasons"
The admission that the law is bad
ought to be conclusive. 1t ought
10 be repealed for this reason, if no
other. But from a bimetallic point
OF view it should be wiped out be-
cause a readiustment of ratio and
free coinage is impossible as long
as it blocks the way. The most
that can be got out of the present
fight, if successful, is a compromise
which will further delay a settle
ment and perhaps plunge us in still
further difficulties.
The only safe programme is
straightforward, honest action on
the Wilson bill. When repeal is &C.
complished bimetallists will have a
clear field in which to pursue their
labors."
