The idea that a people can be legislated
into prosperity is the first principle Of Inc
protectionist creed, and its acceptance is at
the bottom Of most of the errors that are
now prevalent regarding the true function OF
national currency. Once assume that the
primary right of American citizenship is not
to be let alone by the representatives Of
governmental authority but to be helped by
them in some way or other and the process
of sapping the strength Of the republic has
begun. When jealous watchfulness over
every encroachment on thu freedom of in
dividual initiative gives place to a general
disposition to throw the shoulders Of the
government the responsibilities Of the indi-
vidua1, the republic will have ceased to
exist.

at Chicago, few days ago.
My countrymen, cannot ask you tonight to

The country has no other claim upon any

Then | say, the country has no other claim
upon you than that you shall bring to its SER

thus maturely determined what your duty
Is, that you go to the ballot box and there
record your WILL speak for yourselves. ZAP
plauseo No man can answer to the country
for your mistakes. You cannot transfer that
duty. The duty you owe the country you
cannot transfer to anybody else. The duty of

It is a personal duty. one that he must per-

ESPECIAL CORREsr roNDENCE OF THE BEE.
 The world has been so often deceived by false prophets that there is no won der so many people do net believe. There has been so much spurious religion in the world that it is not strange so many should turn away from all religion to op- pose and hate it. And yet these facts rightly interpreted in their relations to the history of the world only prove that religion in the nature of he case is the chief factor in human life. As there is nothing in the world so importanj as re- ligiOn, because it is the supreme factor in human character and conduct, 80 there ia nothing so essential in religion AS that it must be true religion.
 Az there ia nothing so far reaching and powerful in it's ef''cts upon human char acter and conduct SIS religion, therefore there are no abuses so utterly demoraliz
 ing as those of false and corrupting re- ligion.
 There is nothing in which we are so ig- nOrant and imperfect as in our religion tecau@e the perfection oi our moral and spiritual life is the last and greatest at tainment. It was the Lord who said The children of this world are in their generation wi CT than the children of light"
 There is nothing which so quickly and so completely degenorates when once it becomes perverted as our religious life As religion is the soul and siirit of the | character and conduct of man, when once it is corrupted the man is indeed false and degraded body, soul and spir- it. "lf therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that dark ncss=" If our religion be false what greater evil can bclall us?-LO. 0 . Wright.

THE RECORD BROKEN.

Some over so reserved seats for the
 concert by the Wesleyan College Glee
 and Mandolin clubs were sold at the
 store of Edgar F. Hawley alone on the first day of their sale. This is ahead of any record in the sale of seats for any entertainment ever given in Newtown, a far as those connected with this pres ent course know anything about the rec ord. It even surpassed the record in the sale of seats for the lecture of William Hamilton Gibson, last year, when before the evening of the lecture there had been an advance sale of over $90. There were several icquiries about seats on last Sat- urday morning, the first day of the sale, a few minutes after the store where they were to be on sale was opened. Who says that Newtown people are not wide awake to things that are intrinsically good?

ADAMS OF THE COTTON MILL ASSIGNS.
 Many of our people were much sur prised to learn on Thursday afternoon that Robert Adams of New York, pro- prietOr of the cotton mill here had made an assignment. The plant here is large one and it will throw many out of work. It was started here in 1880 and has since been doubled in capacity. Once it was partly destroyed by fire. From 200 to 400 workmen have been employed but the wages have been low. If the mill is to be sold it is hoped that some good sub stantial business, employing a good class of help may be established therein.
