WEAK IN THE STRONGHOLD OF
PROTECTION.

The Mckinley people held mass
meeting in Philadelphia a few EVENINGS
since ana the Ledger of that city marvels
al the result, saying that in a city of
million and n quarter of inha bitonts
enough people ought to have been found
TO have filled the Academy of Music in
support Of any candidate for the Presi-
dency. yet the Academy was NOT filled
when Major Mckinley was TO be doomed
In the stronghold of projection.
Our contemporary adds that politicians
who are looking for straws should keep
in mind this meeting.
Philadelphia, it says. Is for protection
but 1t in also for sound money. and Major
Mckinley's position on the subject of
free silver coinage is eou.vocal. TO saw
the least
lhis statement is significant, and If 1t
means anything it is that Mckinley can
not ride on the protection platform and
free silver at the same time. nor can
ne rue on the platform of protection
ana sound money. The reason of this
is that the Republicans. while they are
IN FAVOR of high protection as n rule. are
al the same time divided on the money
question. So that "the Napolaon of Tar
III has before him not so easy n road

public to believe. But then, are either of
Inc other Republican Presidential can
o'aates much better? If they are for
protection and free silver the sound
money men will not support them, and
II they are for protection and sound
money the free silver men will not sup

of some of the great scenes have been
made, and these will be given with the
article IN the January Journal.
The January Forum opens with an ex-
tremely Interesting study of Pope Leo
KIP by the Vicomte f. Melchior de
Vogue, who traces briefly, but with per-
feet freedom, the successive developments
of this lofty genius, and the correspond
ing increase in the prestige and moral
power of the Papacy throughout the
world. The Vicomte de Vogue's frequent
visits to the Vatican, and the high esteem
in which he is held by the Pope, lend
unusual weight to his article. Mr.. O. d.
Ashley, President of the Wabash Rail
road, discusses the tariff question from
the point of a view of business man;
advocates "middle ground between the
two extremes of policy; and suggests the
appointment of a BIZ partisan committee
to collect evidence on the subject, with
view to reporting such changes as may in
its opinion be advantageous to the indus
trial interests of the country. DR.. F.. NJ

that the Presidential term be heightened
