New England Free Traders Selfshness
Overcomes His Patriotism.

New England Free Traders Sel6shness
Overcomes His Patriotism.
The head of certain large business
house in New England, radical free
trader and a member of the New Eng
land Free Trade league, has more than
once accused protectionist friend OF
selfishness because of his belief in pro-
lection; has denounced the protective
tariff system as a system OF selfishness.
as system which would benefit Amer
leans to the disadvantage of foreigners
Like so many free traders, he claimed
to be too unselfish to be patriotic. The
protectiOnist has again and again re-
futed the charge that protection seeks
to degrade foreign labor or that it does
degrade foreign labor, but has had no
hesitation in acknowledging and glory
ing in the acknowledgment that the pro-
tective tariff seeks to elevate and does
elevate American labor.
The free trader has continued to pose,
however, as an exemplar of unselfish-
ness. Some weeks ago the protectionist
CHANGED into the office of the free trader
and found him looking over the morn
ing mail. AS the free trader showed the
letters away he said: Il advertised
yesterday for two girls to do writing in
an Office. offered only 81 week, and
have 20 applications this morning"
The protectionist said in reply: 1T
is discouraging that there should be so
many willing to work for that. Isn't
that pretty low sum for you to offer?"
well. said the free trader, 1--WE
can get them for that, you know, and
we don't want to pay any more than we
have to pay.
Spoken like the true free trader,
cried the protectionist. lyon pose as
the champion Of foreign labor, you pre-
tend that you are opposed TO protection
because it looks out for American labor
ers and tries to keep our wages up while
letting the foreigners shift for them
selves. To get right down to the true
inwardness Of the matter, you want to
get the cheapest labor you can, as you
have just shown by your remark, and
that is why you want free trade. You
want it because you think you can get
things cheaper if they are produced by
the pauper labor OF Europe than If they
are the products Of we'll paid, respecta-
BILE American workmen. You can stick
to free trade if you want to, and Of
course you will. but please spare my
feelings and don't pretend it is because
you are unselfish. 1"
At last accounts the free trader was
not putting forward his free trade ideas
as the products of pure unselfishness-at
least not before his protectionist friend.

The more we ship American goods
abroad in foreign vessels the more gold
we send out of the country. With
American ships sailing to every port in
the universe we would retain our freight
money at home, encourage the building
Of American vessels. circulate more

the market for American lumber. iron
and steel, stimulate the demand for
American labor. increase the oonsump-

CONGRESS is SUPREME.
QUOTES A CONSTITUTION CLAUSE,
Which He Declares settles the Dispute
Between the President and Senate In
the Latters Favor--CIeveIand
Compared with johnson.

Washington Dec. Ex-senator Chan
dler. of New Hampshire. has written a
letter TO the Washington Post In which
he says: The new immigration law, IL
IL passes. will require foreigners coming
20 live I'm this country TO read and write
as a test five lines of the United States
constitution. There are certain five
lines which eminent Spanish-American
lawyers ought TO read. Section after
eunmerating in seventeen clauses the
powers Of congress adds another as fol-
lows: 49, To make all laws which shall
be necessary and proper for carrying
into execution the foregoing powers, and
all other powers vested by this con-
stitution in the government of the Unit
ed States. or any department or officer
thereof. A study of the above clause
may lead some of the defiant advocates
of an arrogant personal government at
the executive mansion TO revise their as
sertions. 1t is not contended that the
above clause Is gives congress power by
law passed over a veto by a two-thirds
vote TO interfere with any power made
exclusive in the president by express
words or necessary implication.
Enumerates the Executive Powers.
What are the powers expressly given
to the president? To command the
army and navy, to grant pardons. to
make treaties with the consent of the
senate), to appoint officers of the Unit
ed States, TO convene congress and to
adjourn Ii when the two houses disa-
gree, TO receive ambassadors and other
public ministers, to care that the laws
be faithfully executed, and to commits
sion officers of the United States. These
are all the powers granted. Compare
them with the long list of powers given
to congress, including that TO declare
war and to provide for the common de-
Tense and general welfare and ending
with the power given in the above
clause IS to make all laws necessary
and proper to carry into execution all
the powers vested in the government
or In any department or officer thereof
String to Every On, hsm.
THE president may command the
army and navy. Yes, bat congress by
law may give him specific directions
what TO do with them, to use them in
any particular direction, or not to use
them at all. He may grant pardons.
Yes, this is an exclusive and uncon-
trollable power, but congress may by
law open all prison doors and let the
criminals go free. He may make trea-
ties, with the consent of the senate, and
they become law. Here is the only pow
er to make law not vested in congress.
He may appoint officers. Yes, but con-
gress may create and abolish the offices,
and regulate the power of appointment
by civil service rules; he is to commits
sion all officers, but he can commission
only those who are appointed in pur-
suance of law. He is to receive foreign
ministers.

Belnshness Takes Precedence Over Patriot
lam and Reason.
No tears were shed In the Republican
senatorial caucus at Washington over
the absence of Senators Dubois, Petit
grew, Mantle, Cannon, Squire and Tel
Ter. No one interrupted the harmonious
course of the proceedings to express a
single word OF regret over their depar-
ture. The caucus felt itself freer to dis
cuss and act without the presence of
men who for two years have made the
selfishness of section paramount to
emergencies of nation. Hereafter there
will be no excuse for the Republicans
in the senate TO deceive themselves with
any hope or expectation that desirable
legislation can be advanced by trucking
to Messrs. Dubois q Go.
They are birds of feather, and since
they have expressed a wish to flock by
themselves they ought to be permitted
to do so. 1t is just as well for the
American people to understand the ao-
tual significance Of these six silver sena-
tors who have put the idol of free silver
above all other national questions and
enthroned it in the national legislature
above patriotism and reason. The fol-
lowing table shows the vote of the states
they represent at the last election:

Ever since the reformation New Year 8
has absorbed the place Of Christmas
but, strange to say, although the re-
formers in their zeal denounced Christ
mas as popish, they did not in any way
encourage or countenance any religious
services ON New Years day. The Eng
lish peasant goes to church and returns
to eat his Christmas dinner. His brother,
the Scottish plowman, let's no thought
of religious service enter into his enjoy
ment of the day. Most strange it is that
a most pagan observance of q pagan
feast has taken deepest root in Scotland,
the home of the coveDanters and cradle
of theology, where the kirk still holds
sway over the masses, and that the
Scots, pre-eminently religious above all
the nations, will have no church serv-
ices enter into the enjoyment of their
national feasts. Philadelphia Ledger.

WILL our free coinage friends-if
there any free coiners left since cleo
tion-kindly inform us when, under
free coinage of silver, so much silver
was added to our national currency
as during the month of November,
1896? There was never such period
under free coinage, and November
was a much lighter month than many
of its immediate predecessors. The
silver coinage for the month was So
305,022, of which $l,914, 900 was in
standard silver dollars. The geld
coinage during the month was So
O64, 200, and $4,000 of minor coins
were minted. 1t is not true that
coinage of silver has been suspended
or that the volume of our currency is
being contracted.

A FAvoRIrE theme for discussion

A FAvoRITE theme for discussion
among some people is whether a col
lege education is necessary for the
highest success in life. In this con-
nection, it is interesting to note the
presidents of the Unieei States.
Washington was not college bred
man, although in latter life he receiv-
ed the honorary distinction OF the
degree of l.. l.. ID. from Harvard,
Yale, Pennsylvania and Brown, and
was chancellor of William and Mary,
showing that ne appreciated the
value of college training, although
he had not its advantages. The two
Adams were Harvard men, Jefferson
and Monroe were graduates of Will
liams, Madison was Princeton stu
dent, Jackson had very little shook
learning" and Van Buren, only "a
COHlulOll dCduCillO OOui Sc W imam
Henry Harrison graduated at Hamp-
on-Sidney, Tyler at Williams and
Mary, Polk at the University of
North Carolina. Taylor and Fill
more were not college men. Pierce
was a graduate of Bowdoin, Buchan-
an of Dickinson. Lincoln and John
son never had even the advantages
of high school course. Grant was
a West Pointer, Hayes a graduate OF
Kenyon, Garfield of Williams and
Arthur of Union. Cleveland had
only an academic education, while
Harrison had nothing higher than
was afforded by Miami university,
and Mckinley is not acollege gradu-
