transform them into vsgabonds and
tramps. There is still spirit Of In
tolerance running through the Cham
pion's article which forbids the
thought that those who differ from
the editor can by any possibility be
right and he wrong, or that they can
be clsssed in any other category than
with visionsries and cranks. The
editor also fails to recognize the fact
that enforced idleness and want
would be very likely to transform the
best of men into vsgsbonds and
trsmps. Governor Felt can vastly
improve the spirit of his writings
upon this topic by simply reAecting
upon what he might possibly become
were he to be subjected to the hard
conditions which have made vsgs-
bonds and trampS of thousands of
just as good men as himself. In the
preliminary preparation Of ones self
for the christian civilization OF
American citizenship" there is moth
ing like putting ones self in the
place Of his less-fortunate brother
and imagining what the effect might
possibly be.
Speaking Of the causes that have
produced so much enforced idleness
in this country, the Champion has
discovered only q part of the truth,
but that part is fatal to one OF the
fundamental doctrines of the republi-
can party; and while we do not desire
to inject any partisanship into this
discussion, we cannot refrain from
reference to this fact as q counter
balance to vein of partisanship rum
ming through the -, 80 question.
The Champion says:
If pond will hold only u million barrels
of water and you pour in million barrels
more what becomes of the displacement
The American workman has been and is in
competition with the million foreign lR-
borers who came to America for better
wages, and secured them. The American
mechanic has been crowded out Of the race
because he cannot live upon the European
plan. Britain and Europe send us labor
and America sends them capital to buy
foreign merchandise. We have had too
much free trade in psuper labor from the
Old World.
The above statements are q total ref
utstion of the claim that our tariff is
q protection to American labor, but
they embrace only part OF the truth
as to the cause of idleness. The use
of lsbor-saving machinery to the sd-
vantage alone of the capitalist rather
than the laborer has been far more
important factor in the displacement
Of American workingmen than has
immigration. Add to this the fur
ther fact that every man deprived of
the opportunity to work ceases to be
q consumer Of the products of other
mems labor and you have the key to
the solution of the causes of the pres
ent enforced idlenesA This is the
way il works: The man who is COM
pelled to be idle cannot purchase

ing and re-acting upon both pro-
ducer and consumer, and catching
the lsborer both coming and going.
Add to this again the monopoly of
the sources and means of production
which has grown and prospered under
the guardianship and care of q gov
eminent which has never feared pa
ternalism as applied to capital, but
has been affected with cold chllls
whenever it has been proposed to
apply it to labor, and we arrive at
something OF an understanding of the
causes OF "our present situation"
The Champion says:
When congress went into partnership
with the ''trusts" and combines" and the
treasury department. became merely the
agent Of the bankers and stock and bullion
gamblers of Wall and Lombard streets, the
commOnweal army was inevitable.
This ls quite true but We would re-
mind the Champion that this part
nership and this agency were estsb-
lished at q much earlier date than
that indicated in the article under
consideration. Speaking of the &C.
ton Of the people in the last election
the Champion says:
In the contest between God and MammOn
they voted for Cleveland. Il was q struggle
between AmeriOanism and Clevelsndism
and with the pOlihOal stupidity born Of
centuries of habisual hate of the party in
power, the Huns stood in solid phslsnx at
the polls Rs stupid dolts, doing the bidding
Of those who would make them slaves.
Are these facts? Was the contest
between God aud Mammon? What
real difference was there or is there
to-day between the policies of the
two contending parties? Can the
Champion tell? What has Cleveland
done that Harrison would not have
done had he been re elected? What
laws have been changed under this
administration and who is RESPONSE
ble for the only change that has been
made? In what manner have the
laws that have been enacted under
republican administrations been en-
forced differently from what they
would have been had Mr.. Harrison
been reelected? How can the cli-
max Of evil which has happened to
culminate under this administration
be charged to Cleveland any more
than to his predecessor? Let rs be
fair in this matter. Do not the causes
of our present difficulties date far
back of this administration?
The Champion we'll observes:
The country is pretty sick. DR.. Clsve-
lands British pills have nearly killed the
patient. Careful nursing and radical
change Of treatment is all that is necessary
now.
This is all true, but will the Cham
pion tell us how the composition OF
the Harrison British pill differs from
that of the Cleveland British pillG
What other or different ingredients
does it contain! In what way would
the treatment of the patient be rsdi-

EXISTING CONDITIONS.

ADVOCATE, the Atchlson Champion Of
May 2 presents in part the views Of
it's editor respecting the causes that
have brought the country into its
present condition. We find many
things in this article with which we
can heartily agree. On the whole, it
is written in a spirit Of fairness, and
on perusinR it we have been led to
the inquiry why honest men engaged
in newspaper work cannot always
dismiss their partissnship and discuss
dlspasSiOnstely the social and eco
nOmic questions, the proper solution
ofwhich so nearly concerns us all. II
this could be done we would be
much nearer the goal Of which the
Champion speaks-'the Christian
civilization o. American citizenship"
than We now are or are likely to be
while partisan bias is permitted to
color our every utteranCe upon these
momentouS questions.
Speaking Of the COxey movement
the Champion says:
IL 10 not the material Of which che COM
monweal army 10 composed chat 10 really
80 important 90 il iS TO know the motives at
the base Of the movement, and the causes
which gave these motives birth. IL will not
do 10 dismiss the DubjeOt with the Aippant
assertion that IL Id merely an army Of vRg-
Rbonds and trampS or 9 ConOlAVe Of Paga-
mullins seeking TO live upon the country
without leave, labor or license. Nor will
il ans Wer the question TO say that il is an
army OF armed rufa&nS determined upon
pillage and plumber, for all accounts thus
far agree shat in the conflicts with the ofi-
cSTS Of the law, and with railway officials,
the cOmmonwe&leEs have mostly been
found unaFmed. Pick out, without notice,
any Ave hundred Of the commonwealers and
there are 40 tew concealed weapons among
them 40 would be found among the five
hundred men you might select, without mo-
tiOo, from passengers any day in the year
on the Pullman railway cars. That thou
sands of idlerg, RdventurerS and chronic
growlSrS and hair-brRined dreamerS are at
traCted into the Coxey movement is nat
urSl, but, Rs rule, the idlerS, lOaferS and
IOiously inclined would not submit TO the
rules and regulations imposed upon them
By those lin command Of the common
weRleEg, nor would they endure the long
and wearisome marches and the camping
in the rainy and SheltsrleSs night without q
revolt or even murmur.
The motive behind 10 all, if Che acts and
words Of the leaders are TO count for any
thing, Is TO secure work Of living wages.
There are more Workmen than are needed
by farmers, builders, contractors or manu-
facsuRers.
In every town in the United States are
men who never work when they can posi-
bly, avoid il. They are constitutional idlerS,
natural ShiEks, who loaf upon the street
corners, grunt and grOwl, but they toll not,
neither do they spin. But that class, a. q
rule, still remains in the towns whore they
have BEEN known for years aS the street
corner loafeEs whose wives sew and wash to
support the worthless ''head Of the family"
It is certainly refreshing to find
this acknowledgement respecting the
character Of the commonweal army
in a republican paper; and il is but
fair to say that the Champion is not

The method of decoration by means Of
redhot irons was employed in Great
Britain chiefly on cypress wood chests
spruce chests as they were termed
Cypress wood was believed to preserve
against moth and cloth clothes, tapes
try curtains, and silks and velvets were
put into them. They were much in fashion
in the reign of James | of England and VI
of Scotland, and they are frequently dec
Grated with subjects from the hunting
field sketched in by means of skewers
heated by the fire. The men are dressed
in the ugly trunk hose of the period.
1t will generally be found that the orna-
mentation inside the lid of such a spruce
chest is quite as rich as that ON the front
The top of the chest is always left plain, as
it was used as seat-thaG is to say, the
outside of the lid was undecorated; the in
side presents picture always in good
preservation, as it has been thoroughly
protected As far as the writer's expert
ence goes the oak chests were not carved
inside on the under part of the lid; this
decoration was used exclusively for the
spruce chests" Some of these cypress
chests are not only long, but deep, and are
formed Of slabs of beautiful well grown
trees of very considerable age. We have
no reason for supposing that the cypress
show that very stately and ancient cy-
presses must have adorned our old gar
dens. Cornhill Magazine.

HAS PLENTY OF NERVE.


Benjamin II. Tillman, govcrnoro of South
Carolina is u man of peculiar native force
and strong determination. His struggle
to enforce the state law regulating the sale
of intoxicating liquors in the face of Wig
orous opposition on the part of certain
communities where it is obnoxious adds
another illustration of this fact to the
many furnished by his career during the
past decade, which practically covers all
the time he has taken any active part in
politics or the affairs of state.
The governor was elected by the farm
ers of South Carolina as an opponent of
the old regular Democratic band who had
always held the offices and ruled the state
the oligarchy," as he denominated
them. He began his fight against them
within the party ranks and was elected
and re collected as the regular Democratic
nominee. He was unknown in politics till
1885, when he began successful crusade
for the reformation of the agricultural de-
partment of the state, which he thought
worse than useless as then conducted.
During that agitation he developed re-
markable facility AS stump speaker, and
the farmers accepted him as leader from
heir own ranks-''onc of the plain COM
