Converted to Protection.


Ex-Mayor VIM. r. Grace of New York
is one of the most prominent and best
known Democrats of that city. He has
long been a close friend OF exPresident
Cleveland and in the latter's last cam
paign he contributed largely of his pri-
vate means to effect his election. A few
days since, in conversation with leading
Democrats of that city, he made the de-
claration that Americas present great
ness is the result of the Republican poll
cy OF protection. He said:
"Yes l did tell General Tracy, that
within the past year l have changed my
views completely, that 1 am now con-
vinced that the prosperity and stupend-
Gus growth of this country is due in no
small measure to the principles which
are at the bottom of the policy of protec-
ton, and have recently felt free to say
it to others. was new sr ashamed of my
convictions when they were in perfect
sympathy with the tariff views expressed
by Mr.. Cleveland in his famous message,
and with those held by the great body OF
the Democratic party, and | am not
ashamed now to say that in the light OF
recent events have completely changed
those views and now see, as 1 believe,
clearly that the amazing growth In all
that makes for permanently prosperous
| conditions and in all influences that have
so recently established the United Sta ties
as first power among the nations of the
world, not only political but financially
ard commercially, is due in great meas
ure to the policy of protection.
81 have dreamed that the time would
come when 1 should be willing to make
an admission of this kind. But facts are
stronger than theories, and the fact re-
| mains that in the past six years we have
had abundant proof that there is some
fallacy so far as the United States is con-
cerned in the doctrine which the Demo
cratic party held, and which Mr.. Cleve-
land proclaimed in his message. On the
other hand, there was truth in the claims
made by Mckinley, by Dingley, by Nor
rill and by the other great protectionists,
and so understanding this, I am now
ready to say that see the truth and am
ready to acknowledge it.

The Real Mother.

five mistake not, the first appearance
of trusts, the modern trust, in this coun-
try came by way of Great Britain, the
lovely free-trade country. We believe it
was the Britons who organized great
moneyed syn5icates to buy our brewer
les, railways and warehouses with view
to controlling them. Those syndicates
were peculiarly monopolistic and arbi-
trary and it is due the American people
to say that they revolted against the in
trusion and in most instances the syndi-
Gates turned out deficits instead of divi-
dends, and few if any of them are doing
business in this country.
The general public having knowledge
of these facts, have small patience to read
academic discussions of the charge made
by the preposterous Havemeyer. They
are content with observing that he might
as truthfully have charged that the war
of the revolution or the policy of expan-
sion, or the defeat of Jerry Simpson is
the 'mother of trusts" rs to bleat that
the tariff is the maternal source of all the
evils which follow in the wake of trusts.

The Democratic press is trying 10
make some capital out of the statement
made by Sugar King Havemeyer, that
"the tariff is the mother OF trusts" The
facts are Mr.. H. is sour because he did
not succeed in securing higher tai iff on
sugar, so that his trust could not be in
terfered with. The policy of the Repub-
lican tariff is to give consumers the COM
modities of life at the lowest possible
price consistent with the demands ofrev-
enues and the protection of American
labor. No one, Democrat or Republican,
will have any sympathy with Mr.. H.
when the animus of his expression is
understood.

MANY people who read the present
clamor in the yellow journals against
General Otis in command in the Philip
pines, will be reminded by these TRADES
of similar ones against our generals in
the Union army during the war for the
Union. Almost every commander of the
army of the Potomac came in for his full
share of abuse. General Hallack was
called an ''old fossil :" General Sherman
was accused of being of unbalanced mind
and Grant was said to be a drunkard.
President Lincoln was importuned re-
peatedly TO relieve Grant ofhis command
as he was a butcher and drank too much.
Lincoln asked one of the faulttinders one
day who complained that Grant drank TOO
much. if he knew where Grant got his
whiskey, as he would like to get some Of
the same kind to furnish TO some other
generals in the army. Lincoln had con-
tidence in Grant AID his confidence WAS
justified by after results. The country
should take no stock in this clamor
against army officers, in most instances
it is jealousies and disappointments and
not worthy of cousideration. keystone

a MAN once had contract, at stipu-
lated price per load, for hauling garbage,
in town of about 5000 inhabitants. At
the end Of week he had hauled away
about all the rubbish in sight, and began
tO.query about what ne should do next
week. He soon hit upon plan which
worked all right for while, when it was
discovered that he had been re- weighing
the garbage pile to the extent of some $50
worth. Only slight change in the sur
face of each load served to deceive the
mau at the scales. Aside from the injury
to the city exchequer of the town, this
incident serves, not only to illustrate the
proverbial chicanery ofmankind, but also
TO remind one Of the verbiage in the
platform ofa Democratic National conven-
ton. The stuff has only been rear
ranged on the surface.-Punz'y Spirit

DR.. n. c. SCHAEFER, Pennsylvania's
distinguished Superintendent of Public
instruction, delivered an address before
the National Educational Association
convention at Los Angeles, recently, say
ing in part: "The Great Teacher did not
despse the arts that win bread, for He
worked at the carpenters bench, but
when He told the tempter that man shall
not live by bread alone He clearly point
ed to a higher life, which rests upon the
other as basis and which alone can lift
men and women 10 their destined place
as lords Of creation. 1t is the province of
the school not merely to fit the pupil bet
ter for breadwinning and to increase his
earning power, but to prepare him to
think the best thoughts of the best men as
emshrincd in literature, TO see and think
Gods thoughts as they are embodied and
expressed in all creation, to enjoy the
things Of the mind, to appreciate the true,
the beautiful, and the good. to live the
life Of thought and faita and hope and
love-"

Dominican Republic. 50 many feNoils
haye occurred in that country in the past
quarter ofa century that no one would
be surprised il rising should occur at
this time. The assassination of its Presi-
dent shows that the cJnnitions which or
dinarily lead to revolts are at hand.
There are a comparatively large number
OF Europeans and Americans in the Do
minican Republic, and almost all of them
it is understood favor annexation to the
United States. If that annexation pro-
ject of thirty years ago which President
Grant favored, and which the people OF
the island agreed to, had been carried out
it would undoubtedly have been bene-
fit to all parties. The present disturb
ances may lead to another annexation
movement. This time it would succeed.
The country in 1899 is little wiser than
it was in 1869.

In a recent interview Congressman
elect Charles II. Burke, of South Dakota
who is at the Normandie Hotel, Wash
ington, said: "South Dakota gave Bryan a
beggarly majority in 1896, but last year
it went Republican by over 5000 votes,
and there is no danger of its falling to
support the Republican national ticket in
1900. The fusion between Democrats and
Populists, that was so strong three years
ago, will never be effected again. Out

Bryan has much prospect of carrying.

If the Democrats are so much imbued
with Mr.. Havemeyer's notion that "the
tariff is the mother of trusts" why don't
they nominate him for President and
give the whole country chance to pass
upon the case, and see how much of a
following this idea would have, anyway !?

pIRECToR OF TIE cENSrS.

A correspondent who will not DO ac-
cused of overpraising Mr.. McKinlev,s
administration, says "the selection of
Gov Merriam of Minnesota for director
of the census is probably the best that
the president could have made outside
the ranks of professional statisttcians
The political pressure was strong for
other men, some of whom were far be-
low the grade of Coy. Merriam" The
idea seems to be that the director's
chief duties will be executive and finan-
cial, after the manner of the office of
librarian of congress, while the techni-
cal work of the department will be en-
trusted to his lieutenants.
Senators and representative have re-
marked with uncommon frahkness, that
the starch is all washed out of the civil
service provision" and the census has
been purposely thrown open to political
patronage. 1t will be one of the first
and principal duties of the director to
see that this patronage is euuitably and
properly divided. Each senator and
member OF congress will be allowed a
certain number of places to dispose of,
and, though the applicant who secures
the proper endorsement will be re-
quired to pass an examination, it will
not be competitive. If he passes, he
Will not be in danger of losing his pros
pective position merely because some
other man gets a higher percentage.
1t is conceivable that a competent
BODY of census officials might be gath
cred under such a system, despite the
evident temptation to abuse on the part
OF congressman. That it will be abused
IN some, perhaps many, instances, is to
be expected; but how far this will affect
the general character of the census
worth is question that will have to be
left to the future. A heavy responsible
ity is thus laid upon Director Merriam

MRS. BALDWlN's BIRTHDAY.
Flowers and Festivity Mark the Beginning
of Her 86th Year. ~

Yesterday was a day of unusual in-
terest at the residence of c. c. Baldwin,
IL Cedar street Messengers brought
beautiful flowers and other tokens to
Mrs. Lemira H. Baldwin, the mothep
of c. C. Baldwin, who was quietly OBJ
serving her seth birthday.
Mrs. Baldwin was born in Bristol
county and came to this city with her
husband. the. late John D. Baldwin,
about 1853. John D. Baldwin was from
that time until his death, in 1882, owner
of The Spy. s
Since her husbands death, Mrs. Bald
win has made her home with her two
sons, spending part of each year with
9. c. Baldwin, and the remainder with
John S. Baldwin.
Mrs. Baldwin was formerly a menu
Der of the Salem Street Congregational
Church, but has been unable of late
to attend divine services, though her
interest in her church has never
failed
Yesterday there was an informal
family reunion in her honor, and about
twenty members of the family took
lunch with her, which was complete
surprise, as she had expected only the
usual family gathering. At the table
We're seated representatives of four
generations, namely: Mrs. Baldwin,
her son, John s. Baldwin, his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Marcus Foster, and her two
little daughters.
Mrs. Baldwin still enjoys very good
health, reads the papers daily, and is
still earnestly interested in all the az
fairs of the day. In winter she is un-
able to go out except for carriage
drives. Five years ago she gave ,up
housekeeping, but for one of her years,
she is still very active.
On the table last night there was a.
large birthday cake, with So candles.
Mrs. Baldwin entered into the spirit of
the games and pleasures Of the even
ing with enthusiasm. All of her inn
mediate descendants, with the excep-
ton of a granddaughter, who is study
ing IN Philadelphia, and a great grand
daughter, were present, and her S6th
birthday was an exceedingly pleasant
one to all concerned.
