Henry Independent: Brother
Cory, the able and versatile edi-
tor of the Watertown Public
Opinion, makes a strong point in
favor of the protection idea when
he asks "why, if the consumer
pays the tax as is maintained by
our free trade friends, do they
make such terrific roar in for
eign countries against our new
protective tariff law? If the local
consumer pays the tax what pos
sible difference can it make to the
foreigner what tax we put on his
goods? We know that many
foreign nations enact various re-
talltory measures, and why should
they do this? Is it not the best
evidence obtainable that the for
.eigner pays the tax? Is not the
foreigner in a position to know
who pays the tariff tax? If our
local consumers pay it, why this
squeal from the foreigner?

osEYING Supply AND DEMAND.

Philadelphia Record: There is
silver enough in India and South
America for the purpose of ex-
change, for which silver is valu-
able. There is no need of more.
Besides, silver has continued to
decline in the face of increased
production, Notwithstanding good
crops of wheat in India and South
America, and the years when the
Indian mirts were coming rupees
without limit to meet demand
and the United States was buying
the whole production Of four mines
in order to arrest the decline in
the price Of silver bullion. There
is more silver money in use at
this time than ever before. The
law of supply and demand gov
erns the price of all commodities;
and for this reason every effort
will prove fruitless to maintain
arbitrarily parity of value be-
tween silver and gold, or between
wheat and silver, or between po-
tatoes and turnips, or between
any other things that may be
named.

ORIGIN AND END OF PoPuLIsM.

well-known American wit of early
times. Eyes" was the reply,
"she is miserable enough to be
almost completely happy That

of the Populist statesmen of to-

The runaway occurred about II 50
o'clock. The drivers, whose names could
not be learned, were unloading goods on
Shipley street below Third.
They could not account for the frighten
ing Of the horses neither could they check
their speed as they ran at break neck speed
toward the Shpley street crossing of the
railroad, the gates of which were lowered
the freight tram passing at the time. The
drivers Of the horses saw that the hors es
were heading for tho railroad and believ-
ing that their only safety lay in jumping
from the rapidly moving wagon they did

thought of the horses being ground under

was reached the cabbose of the train made
its appearance and breath of relief went
out from tho onlookers. The frightened
horses We're unmindful of this, however

The animals continued their flight up

they believed enough mischief had been
done and sufficient excitement created,
surned into the yard surrounding the big

It dazzled the dreaming of peasant and prince
In witching and wonderful way,

The envy Of maid and the worship Of man,
For the fame Of her face and the fate Of her

But love came in triumph and gained the fair

MEssRs. EDlToR:-Will you DO kind
enough to allow Inc space In your columns
In order that | may sot forth some facts
concerning Mt. Lebanon NJ. Il. Church,
which we think those who do not know
should know.
Some 10 years ago the interest Of tho
church was at such low ebb that 10 did
not pay Its pastor moro than about fifty OF
sixty dollars for the year, on which no
preacher could live, and in view Of that
fact the Conference left the charge to BIO
supplied, which the presiding elder did by
appointing Rev VIM. II. Hendricksun,
the we'll known local preacher to the va
cancy.
He secured the church three years and
his work was so etfactual that at tho expi-
ration of that time Newark Union small
appointment was added and with 500
from it the charge was able to furnish
house and pay $685. y3ar Tor q pastor
The Rev. Thomas N. Given being ap.
pointed to the charge by !he Bishop, serv-
ed two years and succeeded in remodellng
the church ut an outlay OF about $500
and an old debt on the GENE cry made the
whole amount about $3.50. The greater
part of which was paid. The remainder
of which has been collected during the
past year by Bro. w, p Taylor, pIsyor,
who was greatly assisted by Mr.. Martin
house although Mr., X does NOT belong to
this church too much credit can not BIZ
given him.
Now then Rev. Mr.. Taylor, who is one
of the beat men the church. has had, and
who is very much liked by all of the well
thin king people of the community OF AL
crecds, with the assistance Of Mr.. X ~
above stated, his succeeded in freuIn t
church of debt Some Of the Trustees now
think tho Church should own II parsonage
and SO do the rest of us, If we could build
or buy one that would be suitable, but we
think a preacher should have Il comfortable
home as well rs the members Of his church
We do not mean by this an over expen i've
house but such as we would like our selves.
Now to be plain, some of the Trustees
have assumed the responsibility of buying
the house not far from the church formerly
owned by John Jones. This has been done
without the consent Of the members, who
with Others support the church and were
not consulted in the matter The objection
by the people Is that it Is II bad iocaCicn.
Half the time water has to be carried from
Rockland or Alfred Banks, the house Is
not nor, can 1t be made suitable for par
sonage.
The owner has been unable to rent it to
any but Coiored tenants TO-. Il number of
years, and while we do not havc 10 vacate
tho house now occupied rs II parsonage, it
would BIO utterly absurd for part of tho
trustees to purchase such house AS the
one in question, as this charge pays very
small salary and the home VIC LCw furnish

VIC have to offer him. If such action is
carried into effect tho support given III
