His sordid selnshnc.s.

Mr.. Cleveland's reform club speech
had the usual amount of phrases about
''sortlid greed" Selfish interest" and
partisan ambition" There is little
wonder that these phrases occur 40
often in Mr.. Cleveland's speeches. IL
would be strange IL those things which
have dominated his life should be lack
ing i'm his speeches.

LINK wallpaper is the latest oddi-
ty. The zinc is attached TO the wall
by cement invented for the purpose,
and is made To initiate marble. The
surface is enameled so as TO make it
permanent and washable. 1t is claimed
for this new departure in decorative
material that, while it is as permanent
as tiles or marble, it is much cheaper,
and can be as easily put on as ordinary
paper.

EXTRACTS from the Speech OF Hon. ]. J. Me-
Laurin. NJ. c., OF South Carolina, Deliv-
cred i'm the House OF Representatives.
March 90 1871
If we are TO have protective duty for
cotton cloth, let us have protection also
for the cotton out of which the cloth is
manufactured. No one should deny the
fairness of this proposition.
Are those who manufacture cotton
cloths more entitled 10 governmental
favor than those who toll in the hot sun
to produce the raw cotton? II those
who spin and weave in New England
can have bank accounts, are those who
plant and make the cotton less worthy
of a similar privilege? I undertake TO
say that one is as worthy as the other,
and that under n truly popular govern
ment there should be no specially ia
vored class, section or individual, but
that all sections, all classes, and all in
dustries should be placed upon the
same footing. with equal rights TO all
and special privileges to none," under
the law.

cannot indorse the doctrine of free
raw material. It's application is unjust,
and If continued will bring ruin and dis
aster. just why the cloth out of which
my shirt Is made should be protected
five cents a yard and the shirt itself pro-
tected 40 per cent. al valorem, while the
raw material out of which the cloth is
woven is not protected at all, and the
plan considered fair and logical, is be-
yond my comprehension. If my shirt
is to be protected by customs duty. /
say the cotton out of which il Is made
should receive adequate protection also.
and II this is impossible, withhold pro-
lection from both. (Applause.)
This, and this alone, can insure reel
procity between those who made the
shirts and those who made the cotton.
1t would be equal, honest and fair. This
IL n proposition which cmphatically
fndorse, and one which believe would
benefit the people represent.

The south needs factories and other
business enterprises to develop her re-
sources and manufacture her raw ma
terial. 1T requires money to do this,
and money she has not, neither will she
ever have until she stops selling her
raw material at a loss and buying it
back from New England at a high price.
If the raw products of the south could
be protected equally with the mnnufac-
tured products of New England, the
south would soon be Independent and
her laboring people in far more COM
Portable circumstances than they are
now.

Take the wool grower, the man whose
money crop is wool. His product was
protected by customs duty until the
passage OF the Wilson bill i'm 1893. Since
then he has produced and sold what is
called raw material. How has he
Jared under this condition? He sells his
product now for less than half what he
received prior TO 1898. The same amount
OF wool which brought him $4,000 In
1903 brings him about $4,000 now. MAX
ing loss of fully $4,000. This loss can
be properly charged to the application
of the doctrine OF free raw material,
and the question presents itself as TO
how much and in what manner Is this
wool grower benefited.

RUSSIA JOLLIES FRANCE.
By Royalty Entertaining Its Citizen
Ruler.

St. Petersburg, August 24.-After plac-
ing wreath and gold olive branch on
the tomb of the late Czar Alexander Ill,
in the Cathedral today, President Faure
drove across the Neva and laid the corner
stone Of the new French hospital. The
President afterwards visited the house
which Peter the Great built in 1703 on the
banks of the Neva. The President ex-
amined the chair and stool made by Peter
the Great and then traversed the garden
leading to the riverside where the Gar
was waiting for him in launch. M.
Faure EN- barked in this vessel, which had
the Russian and French flags flying from
her stern and crossed the Neva. The I'M
perial and presidential party landed on
the other side of the river and took part
in the ceremony OF laying the foundation
of the new bridge.
The metropolitan, who Officiated, prayed
for the Gar and for President Faure and
France.
The usual scenes of enthusiasm were
witnessed everywhere and the French
sailors who were allowed to come ashore
were embraced by the Russian people.
The spectacle at the Inauguration of the
bridge was most brilliant. Around q
picturesque tent were grouped the high
court dignitaries in splendid uniforms,
the municipal councillors and the clergy
in gorgeous robes, while in the back
ground stood four immense stands filled
with ladies in elegant toilettes and officers
in uniform, making a scene of great ami
nation and sparkling with color.
The Czar, President Faure, the Metro
politan and the Mayor of St. Petersburg,
surrounded by the grand dukes. M. Hano-
taux, the French minister for foreign
affairs; the Count of Montebello, the
French ambassador to Russia, and other
French officers formed the central group
in front of the tent where the Inaugural
ton was solemnly performed.
In an open carriage and amid a drench-
ing rain NJ. Faure visited the Cathedral
of ST. Isaac and called at the respective
embassies. He was then obliged to return
to the winter palace to make change in
clothing. The afternoon was spent in re-
ceiving municipal deputations from
various towns bringing addresses and
gifts. Early in the evening he returned to
Peternof by the imperial train.

Paris, August 24.-All the newspapers
except the socialist organs agree in declar-
ing that the Cronstadt demonstration is a
landmark in the history of France and
Russia as we'll as other nations, furnish
ing as it does incontrovertible proof of
the important position France has re-
gained in the world.

to meet President Faure at Cronstadt was
made against enormous protests on the
part of the German party.
The desptach adds that the officers of
