Under the new revenue law there is no
longer any doubt of the treasury being
able to met every demand upon it. 1t
would not be easy to exaggerate the in
fiuence of this fact, an influence that will
be felt and acted upon by large classes
who are quite ignorant of it's existence,
and which will spread far beyond the

To meet the demands of the treasury
is the only justification of tariff. The

father could not have been more

did his entire parental duty by her.
All this passed as pure fatherly affec.

The other day the doctor and his

did not do this, and later it was dis

amazing prosperity which is the wonder
of the world.'
Speaker Crisp's speech was general
denial of the force of the considera.
tons presented by Mr.. Reed, and a
repetition of the stock democratic ar.
guments against the protective policy.
Mr.. Wilson's closing appeal was itly
ended by martial summons to all
democrats to fall into line aud vote for
his bill. "This rol-call," he said, ais a
roll Of honor. 1t is a roll of freedom.
And in the name of honor, aud in the
name of freedom, l summon every
democratic member of this house. -
His speech was eloquent, but it was
not the eloquence of reason aud argu-
ment. 1t was the harangue of leader
of misguided men on the eve of battle,
conveying a warning of dire import to
those who quailed, rather than the adj
dress of a man of wise and far-reaching
craftsmanship. The closing scenes of
the debate were more BETTING a par
tisan political convention than the
ending of one stage of the discussion of
a mighty change in the economic
policy of the country, fraught with the
issues of life and death to its great
material interests.

vessels to the pier in question, and he
would send the cruiser Detroit and
every other vessel in the feet, if neces.
sary, to protect them. The insurgent
admiral manifested belligerent pur.
pose. The American battle ships we're
cleared for action, and the Detroit,
with guns shotted, took position near
the threatened merchantmen. The
New York and other ships covered the
rebel fleet with their guns. A shot
was fired at the American merchantmen,
when the Brazilian received warning
shot from the Detroit and notfica
ton from the commander that il
another gun was fred at the merchant
man he would sink the insurgent ships.
This spirited action brought the Bra
lillian commander to his senses. The
American merchantmen were then al.
lowed to go to their piers to unload.
They have not since been molested, and
are not likely to be. Admiral Ben
hams action is warmly commended by
all the foreign commanders in the bay
of Rio, and it is to the glory of the
Americans that they thus took the mi
tiative in repelling interference with
the rights of commerce. In all Amer
lea, too, the action of the admiral is APP
plauded with patriotic enthusiasm. The
advantage of a navy strong enough to
enforce respect for American interests
abroad is appreciated. There is in the
incident suggestion of strong ma
tionality that is highly gratifying.

The Wilson Bill and Canada.

In his speech on Monday concerning

the Hawaiian Islands, but still more
emphatically with regard to Canada.
The senators who heartily desire a
union of British North America to the
United States are not confined to any
one political party, and undoubtedly
constitute majority of the upper house
of congress. We cannot believe that any
OF these senators will deliberately assent
to any measure which is certain to ar
rest the drift of Canadian interest and
sentiment toward political fusion with
this country.
The Wilson bill is such measure.

in the choice of Lemuel e. Quigg, republi-

THE proposition of the democrats to
tax all incomes in excess of "a 1000 is
aptly characterized by Tom johnson,
the free-trade, one-tax representative
from Ohio, as "a proposition for the
poor to tax the rich, and for the major.
ity to tax the minority" The PROPOSE
ton is made on the theory that "the
bill will be popular because it exempts
the great mass of voters" It is esti-
mated that from $4,000 to 100000 only,
out of more than twelve million voters,
will be affected by this tax, assuming
that honest returns are made, and that,
therefore, the loss of votes by reason
of the tax will be trifing.

THE conservation of Bishop Hall at
Burlington, last week, was religious
event that awakened sympathetic in
terest throughout New England. There
were present delegations from every
parish in the state, the Van Ness pre-
senting something of the hustle, if not
reproducing precisely the incidents, of a
state political convention. 1t was in all
respects a noteworthy convocation.
The presence of :. large delegation
from Boston indicated not only an af-
fectionate interest in Father Hall, but
a desire for the development of the
church in this quarter of New England,
which is probably as unpromising a
field as the country presents; for the
native Vermonter, whichever way his
religious tendencies may stretch, is not
by nature or education inclined towards
Anglicism in religion or politics. But
Vermonters, without distinction of sect,
will give the English cleric cordial
welcome, and wish him Godspeed in
his labors among the Green Mountains.
