JUDGED by the increase in the wealth of the country between 1846 and 1856, the low tariff period, the low tariff is wealth producer. The increase in the nations wealth for that period was enormous-in fact from 1850 to 1860, it rose to 126 per cent. Under no similar period of protection has there been so great an increase in wealth or such pros porous times, 1t was estimated that the Walker tariff would yield q revenue of $20, 1000, 900 a year, yet in one year, 1856, it placed $60, 900, GOO in the Federal Treasury. So great was the impetus it gave to all branches of trade and bushes that opposition to it by the Whig party virtually ceased. The "infant in- dustries' of the coutry prospered, and at the expiration of this tariff none were found to propose higher duties. But the war came on and with it the war tariff It was levied first as a necessity of the times, but like all abuses it grew and strength ened with time until new brood of statesmen came forth to promulgate the doctrine of tariff for the sake of protection. Since that time all the great manufacturing interests have been clamoring for it, and the result has been to build up and fos- ter a favored class at the expense of the many To this system of taxa tion are we indebted for the monop- olies, trusts and combinations of capital that afiict the country.

and Espionage.
 PARIS, Nov. 2.-The arrest of Captain Alfred Dreyfus of the general staff on charge of treason and espionage on be- half of the triple alliance is the sensa- tion of the hour.
 The captain was attached to the er- ganizing and mobilizing department of the general staff and had aecess to some of the most important documents relat- ing to plans for mobilizing the French army. Captain Dreyfus, it is said, sup piled the agent of the Italian govern ment with the plans for the mobilization of the Fifteenth army corps, covering the departments of Maritime Alps, Ar dech, Bouches du Rhome, Corsican gard, Var Vaucluse and Marseilles, as we'll as with plans for mobilizing the French forces around Briancon, Alpine and Gibraltar. He is also suspected of having furnished the Italian agent with plans of the numerous fortified positions around Briancon, which were connected
 
 by underground galleries with the town mentioned. Briancon is place of ut most importance and especially in view of the position of the Italian army.
 Captain Dreyfus, it is said, supp lied the Italian government with all the plans 80 carefully laid out during years past for defense of the Alps and which had been looked upon as forming 8 complete bnlwoak against the possibil- ity of the invasion. of France from Italy, and he is also said to have sold sli these plans to Germany and divulged to Austria and Germany the names of all French officers who recently had been sent abroad on secret missions.

AEhAANDhh Ill., GAA0 Ot hbSolAs his life until his twentieth year was uneventful; but when Nicholas, the eldest son, died, April 24, 1865, at the age of 29. everything was changed with Alexander.
 Alexsnder married Princess Dagmar, daughter of the king of Denmark and sister of Princess Alexandra, who mar ried Albert Edward of England, Queen Victoria's oldest son, on Nov. 8, 1866. Although authorities conflict about al- most everything else pertaining to the life of Alexander III there is no doubt that the married life of the couple was almost an ideal one, notwithstanding the unusual circumstances which led to their union.
 Czar Alexander II was killed by ni- hilist bomb March l3, 1881, and his son succeeded him immediately as Car AL exander III. During the years that he had been heir apparent he seems to have neglected no opportunity to fit himself 1OE bLS SAAiLbQ dAlll dIQHOus QulIbS bldb were before him. Whether his designs were to so rule Russia as to make it's people happy and prosperous or simply to strenthen the Russian throne is a question upon which there are vital and radical differences of opinion. Certain 1t is that he changed the policy of his father, who had freed the serfs and had in many ways indicated a desire to pre- pare his country for more liberal ad- ministration of the government, one that should in some degree conform to modern ideas.
 The administration of Alexander III tended altogether toward a stricter drawing of the lines and more severe repression in every direction. The cause of popular education, which had received some encouragement under the father, was crushed by the rule of the son; the press, which, though restricted, had faint semhlauce of freedom under

Being the second son, Alexan- der originally had little prospect of as- cending the throne. His education, therefore, was somewhat neglected, and

Eddy Martin Hanged by a Mob IH
 Crittendsn County.

PRINCETON. Nov 2.-News has just reached here of the lynching of Eddy Martin in Crittenden county by mob variously estimated at from 50 to 100 men. The scene of the lynching is in q remote part of the country and the de tails of the crime are hard to get.
 The best obtainable information is that Martin was called upon at his home after midnight and asked to get up and help put out fire that was raging in the neighborhood. Opening the door hs was seized by dozen or more men, whs asked for information of Bill Goode, the lawless pauper commissioner of Critten- den county. He was also asked about the latter's crimes. especially that of horse stealing. The mob told him they had come to hang him, but if he would turn state's evidence upon Bill Goode he would be spared.
 "If these are the only terms, gentle men, !" he said, '.let the hanging proceed. Bill Goode has been my friend and will shield him."
 Tie mob quickly did its work and left the body swaying from a limb upon a lonely country road. The hanging is the result of the Goode-Rieh gang In Crittenden county and their lawlsssness committed there. Goode, the leader, has been arrested three times by a mob. bat escaped.
 Berry Richards was hanged about two weeks ago and ths mob made another raid Tuesday night. but failed to find bat two men, whom they horsewhipped and warned to leave the county. The crimes with which these men are charged arc cattle and horse stealing, etc.
 Bill Goode had collected a gang around him for this purpose and Martin was supposed to be one of them.
