MIRACLES STILL OCCUR.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Some people have difficulty in believing the
miracles of the Bible. Is there a single miracle re-
corded there more difficult to believe In than that
the working classes of this country should believe
in free trade? II only the mention of 1t brings
such suffering to the poor people. what will the
thing itself bring If 1t ever is adopted by Congress-
Masses of the party responsible for the misery
now in the country have little brain and less
conscience. but they all have, stomachs Let us
hope the logic Of events will percolate through
that sensitive organ until it ascends TO the cavity
in the Uranium. and the people actually learn the
meaning OF free trade-free TO go unemployed,
unclad unfed. unhoused, free TO go to the dogs
while the men who duped them feel free to take
the fat Offices LOYAL CITIZEN.
