A REVIEW OF GEORGE.
RefOrmer William Lloyd Garrison on
the Dead SingIe-TaXer.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 19.-William
Lloyd Garrison, the well-known Boston re-
former addressed the Ethical Society to-
day on the life, character and work of
Henry George, whom he characterized as
one of the greatest men of all time. He said,
in part: Never did knight of old fight
more Valiantly to win back the Holy Land
than did Henry George to win his country
from paupersm. Long after We are gone
men will contemplate from varying points
of view this Alpine peak of moral force. The
sunset of the nineteenth century will pre-
sage with added glory the coming of the
twentieth because he lived thought and
wrote"
The speaker briefly rehearsed the main
facts of Georges earlier life, and said it
was while he was in California, in its tur-
bulent and primitive period, that his great
work, Progress and Poverty" grew on his
hands and eventually came forth like a
revolution. Mr. Garrison referred to Her
bert Spencer's rebuff of George, whom he
should have welcomed as the brightest
jewel in his diadem" and, continuing. SAID:
When it became manifest that Progress
and Poverty was the bugle biaSt OF one
deeply in earnest the battle ragged. Georges
demand that the immediate restoration, of
land to those who were Starving be ,auSe or
it's misappropriation was heresy los to

leges were endangered by such teachings.
Land owners Were stirred to their moral
depths and cried out 'Robber! The whole
scheme of taxing land values OILY was de-
cried to be a scheme of spoliation. Prog
ress and Poverty was constantly refuted,
but it constantly refused to SAP so: Its
vitality is remarkable, and Will not
down."
Concluding, he said His participation In
the New York municipal campaish was not
a prudential step, neither was the raid of
John Brown on Harper's ferry, but in the
good times coming it will be 6. anted that
times Walhalla.'

She was born on the dreary farm near
Dumfries. Scotland, where Thomas first saw
light and like him, she grew up amid the
harsh surroundings and influences of the
Scotch Church. where, with her three sis
tiers and two brothers, she supplied the lack
of physical comfort by deep draughts at
those spiritual sources from which so many
of the Scotch draw sustenance. Shortly
after John Knoxs descendant. Jane Welsh,
a farmer boy, Robert Hanning Her life
was afterward a hard struggle with poverty,
and, although her successful brother could
easily have given substantial aid to his
family by securing with mere request
berths in the government service, he limited
his aid to small sums of money which were
too small to be of permanent value in estab-
fishing the family. First they tried Man
chester and failed, and after various fit
tings, the husband leaving his family, now
three in number, came out to America.
Jane Welsh Carlyle, the che lovable crea-
ture in this strange family, demonstrated
earnestly against their separation and her
self furnished the money to send her sis
ter-in-law and her two nieces to America,
where Hanning was working as a servant
in family resident on the Hudson river.
From New York they moved to Hamilton,
Ontario, where Hanning became section
foreman on the Great Western Railway a
post he held until his death, in 1873. All
this would be little worth recalling If 1T
did not cast q side light upon the personal
character of Thomas CARLYLE. A number of
his letters to his sister have been published.
They are overlooking with affection and
advice and also with complaints of his own
pHyStCdi IHlS6TISS anu nIdDCldI
ments, which latter, indeed, were frequent
before the publication of ''Sartor ReSartus,"
but had rare or no recurrence afterward
By his death, however, she inherited in her
old age a considerable amount of money, a
little part of which would have enabled her
to live in comfort during her years of pow
erty and struggle, but whose possession en-
abled her to spend her last years in luxury.
Her library, which was considerable, con-
tains autograph presentation copies of all
the English editions of her brothers works,
and it will be broken up. She was a
good woman, unSelfiSh, loving her family
and caring for them with fond and unsefish
devotion. but her life was one of great suf-

Great sleet Storm i'm Texas.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 19.-It is learned from
private sources that one of the worst sleet-
storms in the history of Texas prevailed in
that State to-day. 1t is impossible to get
any information whatever from Dallas, the
center of the storm section, as all the wires
are down. AS showing the extent of the
storm, the telegraph companies can get no
nearer Dallas on the south than Waco,
Marshall the east, Eagle Pass on the
west and some points in the southern part
of the Indian Territory on the north, show
iIg that it covers several hundred miles of
territory. The wires work no farther than
these points, and it is thought the destruc-
ton has been heavy. Linemen have been
ordered from all parts of Texas to repair
the damage. Nothing further can be learned
from the storm district to show whether
damage has been done to anything else than
the wires.

WILL OPEN THEIR MINES.
The Coal Operators Meet and Map Out .
 Line of Action.

PITTSBURGH, Pa., Aug. 26.-Repre- sentatives of all the coal operators in the Pittsburgh district met at the Nonongahela house at 10 a. m. to devise ways and means for opening the mines immediately at all hazards. The meeting was held behind closed doors, and adjourned at 1:30 p. m.
 After the meeting they said the en- tire session had been taken up with the discussion of the following resolution, which was adopted:
 Inasmuch as the efforts we have made to bring the strike to end have failed and that now there is no possibility of a settlement on the lines Of concliation and arbitration, there fore be 1t
 Resoired That we have no course left open but to continue the struggle along the lines that may appear to be most productive of the results desired in the interests of miner and operator alike.
 Resotred. That we discharge all committees and adjourn sine die.
 It IS said that the operators will now prepare to open their mines. Notices will be posted at once in conspicuous places about the various pits of the district notifying the strikers that they can return to work if they care to. After sufficient time has elapsed and the men do not return the oper ators will engage employees from other places and start their mines

WHICH $ II2
Prosperity as Viewed in It, p

htEnt.
 The clearing house return. - indicate an increased volume os ness and prosperity for some of th. pie. if not for all. The total so. week shows an increase of 2s.2 Der o.'' a over the total for the corresno.s' week last year. But this must n.s accepted as the true measure of ,h..1 crease in the volume of subs,.N. business.
 In the first place, the very larc. crease in New York-37.s her oss. suggests that most of the incre.s'. due to greatly increased activi,v speculative transactions, and parison of the stock exchange deali,.- will show that such is actually tbs Outside of New York the incre.s. only 9.9 per cent.
 In the next place, the increase in ,., stantial trade is due in no small ure to advances in prices. The ac,r., volume of commodities exchanosa ' not so much greater as the return. .' the surface would indicate. Dam 6cS report a decided advance in woo, -, say that manufacturers "are able toos tain an advance of about ten Der csn. in prices of goods" It is notor,ou. that wheat is much higher than if ws.. year ago, owing to the deficiency in x. supply from other countries which um. ally produce surplus for export sna farm products generally are higher tb.. they were a year ago.
 Possibly one-half of the nominal h, crease in the amount of exchanges on, side of New York may be due to rreat,, quantity of commodities excbanv.d The remainder is due to higher prie.. and more aetire speculation.
 The farmers, or such of them AS nm. duce foodstuffs, are in reality nor. prosperous because their crops are nm. sually good and at the sane time ,bs foreign demand for their produce i, unusually strong. They are gettin, higher prices than usual for large, crops. But the new tariff. except as to the single item of wool, is not benest. ing them at all. On the contrary. if is largely neutralizing the prosperity coming to them from natural causes because it enables the manufactures to exact from them higher prices for their goods and wares.
 Yet the republican tariff magicians audaciously take to themselves all tn. credit for the timely sunshine and rain and for all the conditions which for the time being improve the foreign demand for the farmers crops. But the farmer will find out the true state of the case when his foreign customers, repelledb by our hostile tariff. shut out our farm products and seek other sources of supply.
 European purchasers of our food. stuffs and even of our cotton are even now doing all in their power to stimu- late production elsewhere, so that they can supply their wants without being dependent upon country so illiberal and hostile commercially as ours is un. der republican rule. It will not be long before they will teach our farmers that the republican policy of commercial isolation and war is the worst possible for their interests, and that the pre- tense of protection for them is cheap invention, intended only to reconcile them to tariff robbery for the enrich ment of monopolies.-Chicago Chron icle.

HIGHER PRICES.
Truth About the Operation of the Nev,
 TarffY.

A pound of fact is worth ton of new tariff law. The World is giving the facts as to the advance in prices which some days ago it said would be the one certain result of the Dingley bill.
 The grocers have already advanced the price of sugar six-tenths of a cent pound, merely as a preliminary in crease. The consumers of the country will pay to the treasury at least $25, ,o00,. 900 and probably $3000o,00O more for their sugar under the new law than they did under the one which it dis placed. The eXactions of the sugar trust will add millions more to the cost as pure robbery.
 The testimony of merchants shows that there has already been an advance of from ten to twenty-five per cent. on all wooden goods" It will cost more to keep warm next winter. Hides have advanced by reason of the new tax, and an increase in the cost of boots and shoes, from 30 to 50 cents pair, is ex- Iected. An advance of prices all along the line is inevitable. As an offset to this one of the merchants asks: But isn't the consumer better off if he gets more money?"
 There is much virtue in an if. Will the consumer get more money? This also will be a question of fact rather than of theory. The consumers will know-the politicians and the protected class need make no mistake about that! They knew in 1890 and 1899. Tt was the shopping women who did it." said Speaker Reed, in explaining the repub- hcan overthrow in those years. In cer- tain lines of production it is not un- likely that wages will advance some what as the result of reviving industry But there is small probability that the increase in wages will equal the in- crease in the cost of living For the large class of salaried persons there is even less prospect of a compensating advance in pay.
 As the proof of pudding is in the eating, so the proof of a law is In it's working. The World intends to present an accurate and impartial record of the operation of the new tariff.-N. Y. World.

IA BANKER DERANGED.
Serious Plight of John D. Tallant,
 of San Francisco.
BECAME INSANE WHILE ON 4 TRAIN.
He IS at Present in Charge of the Chi cago Police, and Will be Held Pend- ing Recovery or the Arrival of
 Friends to Care for Him.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-John D. Tallant, the president of the Tallant Banking Co. of San Francisco, is confined in the East Chicago Avenue station a raving maniac. Locked in a compartment of one of the cars of the overland linn tied train which arrived at the Northwestern depot at $40 a. m., the demented banker paced to and fro in the greatest excitement, occasional ly throwing himself against the walls of the car and crying out in mental agony until the train slowed up on the depot tracks, when he was removed to a waiting patrol wagon and taken to the station.
 During his compulsory ride through the north side streets the bank presi- dent was held struggling on the floor of the wagon, the strong arms of two police officers being required to pre- vent him from escaping. Constant ly endeavoring to tear himself loose from the grasp of the officers, he was carried to cell in the station house, where, exhausted from his eff forts, he lay on the floor, mumbling lucOncreuIAy doout tnc cuoTtS he imagined were being made to adver- tise him as notorious criminal.
 MT. Tallant appears to be about A years old, and impresses one as being a vigorous, prosperous man of busi- ness. After the strain of the expert ence through which he had just passed, he is physically exhausted. Deep. dark rings are about his eyes, and his face wears blank, tired expression. When he was recovered sufficiently to warrant his removal, he will be taken to the detention hospital until he recovers or his friends advise the authorities. The impression is that Mir. Tallants attack is only temporary, and is probably the outcome of the too close application to business
