Enitsd States Ambassador Day has
the wrong name. With him, so far as
pablic sentiment is concerned In the
United States, it is midnight-the
hsackness of darkness. In his little
thrift talk in England this republican
protection hornblower, told his British
aaziience that 1.-The overwhelming pre-
spo~nderance of sentiment in the United
States was in favor of the protective
theory" This assertion was made in
Blindness to the facts. In every cleo
eion from 1876, until when the fight be-
tween the robber protection republicans
ami h democracy turned mainly upon
high protection or a moderate tariff
sax-one for revenue only, the demo-
Gratis have triumphed. But for the
money question in 1896, they would
NOW have control. But for the vast
Doodle business organized by the great
corruptionist, Mark Hama, there would
have been a democratic triumph any
way. "A change of but $4,000 votes
would have elected Mr.. Bryan. SO to
aeH an English audience that the peo-
pie of his great republic were believ-
ssrs in the Chinese Wall economic ar
zangement-to rob $1,000 to enrich
1000, 900 of already prosperous people,
was to misrepresent facts and condi-
Gions. We do not ourselves doubt
that an election depending upon the
one ouestion-high robber tax or low
saxes-would result in a tremendous
victory for the latter, for the people.
Ther is neither morality nor justice
nor economic wisdom in a high tariff.
II tne underlying principle of such a
tax can be just then the equities had
about as we'll be abandoned. OF eighty
works in the great British library in
A1ondpn on political economy by the
reading writers upon that science from
Adam Smith and David Ricardo to the
best of living writer's ON economics,
9art two are in favor of protection.
That is to say the authorities-those
who have made political science and
spolitical economy lifelong studies are
almost entirely agreed in opposition to
the great herisy of high taxation of
the many for the benefit of the few.
Protection refuses entirely that old
principle of sound and safe economy
To do good to the greatest number. It's
fundamental postulate is to rob the
many to enrich the few.

MOL ASSES AND NITRIC ACID TRY
ING To UNITE

The populists and republicans in the
congress- have held or are to hold a
meeting. If they al get together on
principle then black and white, sour
anfl sweet, beauty and ugliness mean
the same thing. In the congress the
gaopulists are reported also to have or
ganized for campaign purpose. The
republicans are for a rObber grinding
Eariff tax and for the gold standard.
The pops are not extreme protection
lists, and many are for a low tariff tax,
and all profess to be for silver. Yet
they mix as if oil and water can
Kningle. Strange bed-fellows. In Ten
nessee in the county in which Chatta-
nooga is situated, the populist leaders
Sgaave held a meeting to consider h
retnlrn of their people to the denoc-
xnxy. This should be generally done
rs not only Tennessee but every where.
Most of the populists were democrats.
Where is far more agreement in prin-
-xdples with the democracy than with
ahe republicans. The democratic
v,arty has been from W~ashington's ad-
ADMINISTRATION until now the party, the
only party of the people up to the
starting of the %populist party. All
Through the decades the democratic
party has been the sole (breakwater
against federal usurpation and op-
preston. 1t has stood by the people
and state rights and a rigid construc-
sion of the constitution on the other
IN every issue made as fed
eralism and aggression on the side
side. On the other hand the republic
can party has been the party of the
money kings, of a strong government,
of ~usurpation, of oppression Of the
south from it's organization until the
present time. There ought never to
3e any alliance, or any approach to it,
Between the centralizing, high tax
xxarty-the republican-and the party
organized possibly in behalf of the
people and taking the name of the
peoples party or populist. Sugar and
acid are not more unlike. The only
hope of the people in this country for
~Erutection against bad, hostile, oppres-
siye legislation lies in the success and

fration OF Washington, and is a great,

The trial off Sheriff Martin and his
deputies is going ON at WiL1esbarre,
Pa. After a long delay they are
brought to trial for shooting down the
worhingmen at Lattimer, Pa, in Sep
tember, 1896. The evidence of Miss
CoyQe us decidedly damaging. She
swears that she saw the workmen
shot while they were running, and the
deputies laughed at the brutality
treating it as a good joke. The de
fence showed that there was fear OF
the strikers. Rev. s. E. S%tafflett, pas
tor of Emmanuel Reformed Church at
Hazleton, testified that he passed the
strikers on their way to Dattimer.
'"They were marching four or five
abreast, were quiet and orderly, and
the only demonstration they made was
to cheer the car as it passed. The wit
ness said he saw no weapons.
Returning on the same car from
Lattimer, he again passed the strikers
as they We're approaching the sheriff.
AS the car neared the end of the col
umn he saw the strikers there running,
heard a cheer, and Immediately after

We have received from Rev.W. L.Cun-

cluded to the 9Th. Tt is am octavo of 10S
pages, and of interest to the member
ship of hat large denomination in the
state. The Messenger published at the
time some of the important statistics.
The membership numbers 5 ,216, and
yet the increase of this great body was
but little for the conference year-only
451. The Baptfsts reported, we think,
some 1000 increase. The Western con-
ference has a larger membership, and
both together exceed 1872, 900. About
1858, the membership of the North Car
DINA conference (but one then) did not
exceed 80, 0OO-a gain in less than forty
years of more ha 100, 600. There Were
but two deaths last year, Rev. Lang

there have been two deaths, Rev. Mr..
