A SLY FOX TRAPPED.

Old Havemeyer, the Democratic Sugar
Trust Magnate says -the tariff is the
mother Of trusts. This is the old skin
flint who compelled the Democratic party,
under Clcvelauds administration. to put a
higher duty on sugar. and then sent the
Democratic National Committee a hand
some campaign check. The commodi-
ties and articles upon which the greatest
Of trusts are founded, have no tariff duty
on them whatever. There is no duty on
anthfa.ite coal. The trust dictates the
price Of anthracite coal There is less
duty on refined sugar in the Dingley bill,
than in the Wilson-Gon Democratic
revenue bill. The oldest and richest
trust in the world, is the Standard oil
Trust. There is not cent Of tariff on
petroleum. England is honey-combed
with trusts. She has no protective tariff.
How will Havemeyer explain that IA t,

SONG OF THE SEA.

love the song of the sea-
The pitiless, wintry sea,
AS it breaks with roar,
On the ice-bound shore,
For its song is wild and free.
1t sings Of power
In the midnight hour,
Or the dusk of the winter days;
And in angry breath
1t sings of death,
In the depths of its stormy ways.
But better / love the sea,
The magnificent, tropical sea,
Where the sun CLEANS warm
In the track of the storm,
For it softly sings to me.
1t sings of love,
And the blue above,
Bends down to the blue of the wave;
Its soothing tone,
Is song of home,
By shores its waters lave.

Hon. Whitelaw REID thus disposes Of

and few even in America, except obvious
demagogues,. hesitate to admit that there
are cases where good government does

its agencies, then.when they get in the

Jefferson may be supposed to have known
the meaning Of the words he wrote. In
stead Of indicating righteous rebellion
in the declaration, he came, after a time,
to exercising a righteous government I'M

fessed disciples now demandp Was he

Monroe bought the Floridians without
their consent. Polk conquered the Cali

Most OF our Democratic editors have
become deaf dumb and blind. They
won't allow you to mention good times.
They won't hear the car of prosperity
rumbling through the land, and they can
see every item in their exchanges, except
those telling Of increases in wages all over
the land. In fact, the average Demo-
cratic editor now-a-day, is like Turkish
carpets. He resembles nothing in the
heavens above, or the earth below, or in
the waters under the earth.

1.-The doctrine Of protection cannot
survive the kicking and humping it is
getting from its most stalwart supporters.
1t is too late to save it. The New York
Times Qnd. DEM.
We'll, now, the above is an astonishing
piece of news. 1t sounds like Democratic
campaign talk in 1854, and is just about
as silly. Protection is now more strong
~ enthralled in the hearts of true Ameri-
cans than it has ever been before, and the
matchless progress of the Nation, the
prosperity on every hand, our unxampled
commerce, all tend to It's continuation.
This Nation was never so well pleased
with the wise and bcnehcient results of a
protective tariff than now, because bust
ness is strong and active, factories and
mills are in full operation, labor is well
paid and amply employed, and the people
are contented Since the grim and
starving wolf Of free trade was slain by
the American voter in 1896, the Ameri-
can home has been the scene of comforts,
conveniences and plenty. Protection does
not need to be saved-it is saved already.
Woe be unto this Nation should she again
foolishly and madly take up Democratic
tariff for revenue! Her commerce will be
crippled, her mills will shut down, her la
borers will feed from hand to mouth, her
flag will be called off the seas, her treas
ury will be again depleted, her agonizing
tears will flow once more. We have
faith enough in the sense and patriotism
of our people to believe they will never
again blast and desolate this fair land by
voting for free trade and penury.
