THE TARIFF.

That was a beautiful and elo-
quent tribute paid by Daniel Web
ster to the financial genius of Alex
ander Hamilton when he ssid: "He
smote the rock of the national re-
sounces and abundant streams OF
revenue gushed forth. No sooner
did Minerva spring armed from the
brain of Jupiter than did the fnan-
cial system of the United States
burst forth from the conceptions OF
Alexander Hamilton"
What was this system SO grandly
eulog zed by Americas greatest or
ator. Nothing more nor less than
the policy of raising revenue from
laying duties on imported goods
nothing more than the principle
embodied in the Dingley tariff law
nothing more thon the policy ad-
vocsted by the republican party OF
to-day. 1t was only when the
Southern Aligarchy, in the interest
Of the institution of slavery, sought
to controle the policy of the coun-
try, that tariff for revenue was at
tacted and free trade demanded.
Upon this question the Republi'
can party stands with Alexander
Hami ton and the founders of the
republic. The republican parts is
entitled to share the brilliant en-.
comium pronounced upon the gen
ious of the great secretary. To es
tablish this principle it had more
to contend with than he had and
more to overcome.

President MckInley's AdmlnIstra-

President McKinley's Administra-

President Mckinley has now
been in office few days more than
five months. When he was inaugu-
rated the country was undergoing
a financial depression such as it
had never seen since before the

Already we can see the beneficial
effects of the change OF administra-
ton. In this short time there has
been passed tariff bill, the best
ever enacted by the American Con-
gress, and the fruits have already
begun to ripen. Railways are doing
more business than they have dur

various parts of the country are

feeling in the business world is
now existing.
