was fought in vain unless equal rights
for all classes be established in all the
States of he Union; and tell the men
of the South here on this floor, and be-
yond this chamber, that even if they
coald strip the Negro of his constitu-
tional rights, they can never permanently
maintain the inequality of white men in
this nation; they can never make white
mans vote in the South double as power
full in the administration of the Govern
ment, as white mans vote in the

1t is said that an effort will be made
in the next Congress to have the Inter
national Copyright bill amended and per-
fected. The friends of this movement
had better study the vote by which the
measure was originally enacted. The
next Congress will be Democratic in b 9TH
branches, and as party the Democracy
is ''agin" copyright. The Strengthening
of the law is another thing which will
have to wait until the return of the Re-
publicans to power.
The folly and injustice of the clamor
of certain American interests for free
raw materials is SO manifest that it has
aroused protests from British free trade
newspapers. In an editorial regarding
the probable course of the next Congress
with respect to the tariff, the Brad. ord
Observer, published in the greatest WOO en-
manufacturing center of ENGLAND, com
ments sharply on the absurdity and sell
fishness of the demand for free raw ma
terials. 1t declares that ''the American
farmer evinces no disposition to be per-
suaded by his ingenious wooer," and
that at is inconceivable that he would
submit to make the manufacturer a
present of free wool without any cores
ponding advantage to himself" This
statement, from an unquestioned tree
trade source, is directly in line with the
position of every sincere American pro-
tectionist 1t applies with equal force to
iron, coal and every kind Of raw material
which the United States is capable of
producing in quantities sufficient for its
own use.-N. Y. Press.

waY BLAINE RESIGNED.

1t may not be out of place now to state
the reasons of Mr.. Blaine's attitude to-
ward the last Presidential nomination,
and to give the true reasons for his sud
den resignation from the Cabinet of
President Harrison. The story has APP
peared before of Mrs. Blaine's personal
application to the President for the pro-
motion of Col. Coppinger, who IS an 61 i
Ger in tho array, her son-in-law. Mrs,
Blaine did go to President Harrison and
plead strongly with him to appoint Col
Coppinger to the then existing vacancy of
Brigadier General. The president stood
and heard the plea to the end, and then
SIMPLY said II cannot do it," adding no
qualifying or softening explanation of
the reasons for his decision. Mrs. Blaine
felt agrieved at this, and reported the re-
suit of her mission to her husband. Mr..
! line made no comment, but on that
same day he received through the mail
from the West package of personally
addressed newspapers, in which he was
called an imbecile in n supposed to- be-
authentic interview with Russell Har-
riSon. The resignation was then sent to
the President.
1t can be stated now, e1-c Tthedrd, that
Mr.. Blaine wired to Congressman Hit
twice during the Minneapolis convention
not to let his name be presented. The
first dispatch was sent from Washington
and the second from Bo ton. Mr.. Nan
ley and Emmons Blaine differed very
widely as to the ACCESSIBILITY of allowing
Mr.. Blaine to be voted for at all in the
convention. Mr.. Manlev was against and
Emmons for it, Webb, in Boston Journal
Another Washington correspondent
says: A gentleman who was intimately
associated with Mr.. Blaine said: AT u
o'clock of the day Mr. Blaine's resigna-
ton was given oHt he had no idea of re-
signing from the Cabinet. He had haa-l
meeting on that day with the Canadian
nissiOners on the Welland Canal
question. When Mr.. Blaine reached
home he found some one had marked a
lot of interviews which had been tele-
graphed from Minneapolis and printed in
several papers. They accused Mr. Blaine
of betrayiDg the President and of using
his place n the Cabinet as cover for
conspiracy to defeat the President and
secure the nomination. The interviews
wound up by declaring that if Mr.. Blaine
was an honorable man he would have re-
signed from the Cabinet. Under the
heat of Indignation over these interviews,
Mr.. Blaine wrote his resignation, and lie
has since told his friends that there were
never but two occasions of difference be-
tween himself and the President, and
that they had been fully explained and
satisfactorily settled"

AN UNTRUE STATEMENT.

Edwin Mead, in the American journal
of Politics, attempts to show the injus-
tice of a revenue, and more especially of
protective tariff system, but SO nearly
as we can judge by his argument the eff
fort is failure. He says: But if we
find revenue tariff to be great injus-
tice what shall we say of protective tar
III A revenue tariff is low duty on
a few articles while protective tariff is
high duty on great many articles.
Major Mckinley, in pointing out the
beauties of u protective tariff, tells us
that "a protective tariff will do what a
revenue tariff will do and it will do more.
Let us not only admit this statement,
but insist upon it. revenue tariff
takes dollars from the wage Garner and
only dollars from the man of wealth, but
~ protective tariff does this and more,
it also takes dollars from the wage Garner
and gives them to the man of wealth.
One would imagine by this statement
that under free trade our manufactures
would make less and their employees
more money. Those who have an intel
ligent acquaintance with industrial con-
ditiOns know this to be preposterous
untruth. Remove the tariff, and tens of
millions of dollars annually paid for la
Dor to American workingmen would be
expended in foreign lands for foreign
labor. We could raise raw materials, and
grow poorer and poorer, which is the fate
of every country that confines itself to
this line of production. Wages would
be scarcer and smaller, and the wage
Garner suffer far more from the change
than the man of wealth. Manufacturers
in both England and America are rich ;
but the difference between the wage
earneTs of the two countries is startling,
and altogether In favor of our own. Why?
The English workingman enjoys the lux
ury of free trade. but he cannot sur
round himself with the luxuries of life
like his American brother, who is bur-
dened by protection. The history of the
world and the comparative conditions of
different countries eloquently refute the
contention OF Mr.. Mead.
That there may be inequalities, super
fluities. and wrongs in the tariff system
that need correction we are free to say;
but that tariff embodying the protective
principle robs American wage-earners to
enrich their employers is rot of the rot
tenest character.-Troy Press.
This "clincher" argument for the doc
trine of Protection, coming from the
home organ of Senator-elect Murphy
ought to be good Democratic evidence to
the soundness of the Republican posi-
ton. 1t is an apt illustration of "Our
opponents themselves being the judges"

A Gnod wilkes stalllon.

Geo. f. Leonard of Bennington has
Just added to the stock Of horses at the
Hilltop farm brown fiYe-year-old stall
lion by Col. Wilkes bought by him at
the sale in New York last week Of
horses brought from California by Mr..
Corbett, well known horseman of that
State. The horses arrived in New York
the 18th and were sold the 18th. Several
from here attended the sale. Col
Wilkes is of brown color, weighs about
/ 900 pounds and stands 1872 hands high.
He was sired by Leo Wilkes, record
2.20a, and who made an exhibition half
mile in l. 10. Leo was sired by Guy
Wilkes, also the sire of Royal Wilkes,
trotting record 211a, and Rupee, pacing
record 2:1l and who has % descendants
in the 2:30 class. His dam was Sable,
dam of Sable Wilkes, record 2:1S. The
dam of Col. Wilkes was Jane E., who
was also the dam of Puritan, who as a
three year old has record OF 2:291. Her
sire was the we'll known Milliman's Bell
founder, who has Is in the 2:30 list. The
colt has been broken to drive double or
single, is handsome and stylish, with
good gait and as yearling trotted a
quarter mile in All. His former owner
remarked to Mr.. Leonard at the sale
that the colt showed more speed with
the five weeks training that he had, than
any other colt he ever owned and that
individually he could not be improved
upon. He will be kept especially for
breeding purposes, and will be good
addition to the horse stock in Vermont.
Mr. Leonard also has at the farm three
year-old Victor Wilkes stallion colt that
he recently purchased in Fairhaven. He
stands 1873 hands high, is chestnut in
color and weighs about 1000 pounds.
Like all of the Victor Wilkes stock he is
fast and is one of the most stylish horses
in Bennington. -Rutldnd Herald.

General James S. Clarkson has been
confined to his bed at the Plaza Hotel,
New York, for week, the result of q
bad cold, which developed into laryngitis.
His physicians have refused to allow him
to see callers, but it was mainly on &C
count of the condition of his throat, as
attempts on his part to talk had a tend
ency to increase the disorder. The gen
eral was much improved on Sunday, and
expected to be ont again in few days.
of course it is the Erening Post
which suggests that the United States
should wait and find out if other powers
are going to object before asserting

were caused by torpedoes on the tracks,

1t is a satisfaction to see that the
Senate has confirmed the nomination of
Mr.. Halford as Major and Paymaster in

which some of the Democrats raised that
the appointment was to be treated as

Mr.. HalfOrd has shown himself to be
very competent assistant tn the Presi-

go, in every way qualified to fill the po-
sitlon.
The suggestion that the State of New
Hampshire purchase the birthplace of
Daniel Webster seems to meet with
general favor. Private parties have
hitherto cared for it and kept the place
as nearly in its original condition as pos
sible. But now it is to come into the
market, and there is no knowing to what
use it may fall If the State Legislature
does not feel that it can appropriate the
money necessary for its purchase, there
surely ought TO be some one of the Web
ster or historical associations which
would take it.
