The movement by protected manufac-
turers of the East to form combination
with the senators from. the silver States.
whereby free silver and protection are to
be joined as party measures, discloses
plainly enough for even blind man TO
see 1t. the aims and purposes Of protec-
tionists. 1t is true that protection and
free silver logically belong 10 each other,
for free silver is nothing but protection
in another form. There is no difference
in principle between the Govemmert leg
islating so that the people of the United
States shall pay silver mine owners two
prices for their silver. which would be
the result OF free silver. and logislating
so as to allow proteciSc manufacturers
to compel the American people 20 pay
greatly-cnhanced prices for everything
ihcv buy at the stores whereby the profits
OF those manufacturers are greatly In
creased. The principle IN each case is
exactly the same. so that the protection
ist and the the free-ooiner ought. logical
~. 10 be as firmly allied as any two burg
lars or snsak-thicyes ever were.
Nevertheless. every man knows that the
free coinage Of silver is utterly antago
nistic 10 any legitimate interest Of man
ufacturer. Every one knows that the
manufacturer who must sell his wares IN
the world at large under the natural
competitions Of trade which is al that
any man. whether manufacturer or not
has a right 70 ask for needs a fixed ana
stable standard OF value as much as any
other man engaged in any business what
ever. 1t is only to accomplish some IL
legitimate and unjust end that manu-
facturer can give his assent to a PROPOSE
ton TO tamper with the money of the
country. To do this is necessarily TO IN
hct a serious injury upon his legitimate
business. and there must therefore, bo

BLIND sTAGGERS.

There are many ways. besides drink
ing. by which men may be made drunk.
We talk commonly Of mems losing their
heads. About the commonest loser Of
mems heads IS a little run Of luck.
Pythaeoras said, a long time ago.. that
prosperity was one Of the things that
men could not stand. Wisely prayer is
inserted in the Iltany for deliverance
"in all time Of our prosperity
There is no remedy for the evils Of
prosperity but the grace Of Heaven
which often comes in the way Of over
,vhelming reverse. The Book OF job
shows how a just and upright man held
fast his integrity and loyalty to God in
spite of the fercest trials and humilia-
lions: the Book of Ecclesiastes shows
how the wisest and wealthiest Of men
ana the greatest Of kings sank under
Overwhelming prosserity-hopelessly in
toxicated.
Another familiar case Of inebriety is
that Of self-conceit Dilodged from his
dependence upon God. and stupidity In
different to the Divine government, the
conceited and vain man becomes his own
god. and lives and moves and has his
being in himself. TO take care Of him
self and establish his own excellence Is
lis first and all-absorbing thought.
His bosom IS full of idols, his bag full or
doceltful weights and measures. lie Is
no better than drunk.
Every man, hoodwinked with a false
idea OF duty or a misunderstanding Of
things. IS, to all intents and purposes,
inebriated And the more earnest his
nature. the farther he goes wrong \
really sober man is a very uncommon
thing. And TO be sober is a very high
state and grace OF manhood.
Mr.. Locke tells of how a man may
take any idea and nurse #, and brood
over IT, and turn it over and over until,
by a kind Of intellectual friction, his
mind becomes inordlnately heated, and,
maybe. by repeated physical action. the
very brain is fired. Certainly the head
becomes hot.
A man with false principles, or no
principles, founders and stagsers through
life like the commoncst drunkard, and
dies the death Of an inebfiate. The
Word OF God. that strengthens the heart
ana enlightens the eyes. is the only
preventive Of inebriety. the only hope OF
| soborness. And yet how freely fanatic
| ism has fed on IT.
Not even the Holy Scriptures will teach
their own use. The seeing eye and hear.
| ing ear and understanding heart are OF
the Lord. "To the froward thou wilt
show thy self froward." Mysteries are
revealed unto the meek.
