Gone to Presbytery.

Or. west is absent this week,
attending the regular fall meet
ing of the Presbytery of Carlisle,
which convened in the Presbyter.
ian church, Steelton, on Tuesday.
We have learned from the Doctor,
who is it's Stated Clerk, that the
Presbytery is composed of Sc
ministers and SO churches; that
in these churches there are 214
ruling elders, 9,115 communi-
cant members, and 1882 Sab
bath school members. During
the year now ending, these
churches have contributed to the
two great causes of Home and
Foreign Missions, the sum of
$40, 416 and to other causes under
the control of the church SO, 300,
and to miscellaneous benevolent
objects $22,5OO. For the support
of the gospel in their own midst
they have paid $50, 411-this in
cludes pastors salaries, church
improvements and repairs, cur
rent expenses, &c.
Every year brings its changes
in the Presbytery. For instance,
during the past year, four new
members have beenreceived-the
Rev. DIR. Fraser, and the Rev.
Alfred F.. Waldo from the Pres
bytery of Baltimore, the Rev.
Jacob N. Wagenhurst from the
Presbytery of West Jersey, and
the Rev. George III. Bucher from
the'Presbytery of Fargo. Seven
installations of pastors have taken
place-Rev. James Fraser, Ph. D.

terry and the latter from Balti-

Seth r. Downie, James A. Meal
lister, Henry M. Fogelsonger,
Thomas Grier Koontz and e. r.
Simons.
Four young men were ordained

Coming to Free Trade.

A Chicago organ of the system
which was formerly called Nc Kin
.leyism unreservedly indorses the
doctrine laid down by ex-Comp-
troller of the Currency Eckels
thus: Taxation is never bles.
sing and, as excessive revenues
lead to extravaganza and unnec-
essary taxation, the sooner they
are reduced to the imm alliate re-
qnircments the better for the
country"
This doctrine is directly oppos-
ed to the ism referred to, which
taught that the cause of the pnst-
panic depression was insufficient
taxation of a certain kind and that
the way to restore prosperity was
to increase the taxes. In other
words, it taught that taxation was
a blessing. Thus the organ repu-
dates its pet ism and indorses the
doctrine of a prominent democrat
ic official of the last Cleveland ad.
ministration.
This is strange enough, but still
more so is the declaration of this
same organ that in reducing the
excessive revenues congress "will
have to touch the tariff.
Tariff reform is as imminent now
as it was when President Cleve.
land made his celebrated declar.
alton on the subject"
What is still more astonishing
is the declaration from the same
source that "the best place for {
beginning iswith articles that may
properly be put upon the free list
And it should not b.
hard to make the selection. Wher,
the American people are paying
big premium and the bene6ciarie
thereof are sending their good

the world it is high time to Gu
