Disregard for consumsrs.

Disregard for Consumers.
 'Is it not true then, that the encroach- ment5 of the doctrine of high protection have been constantly progressive? Is it not true that the heedlessness of its ex- pectant benefciaries and their disregard for the welfare of the great mass of consumers, is more and more imprudent- ly exhibited, and is 1t not true that to all other reason for a reform of our tariff laws there is added the birth and growth of their cruel and unmerciful progeny of trusts and combinations which stand guard against all attempts to seek relief in the field of free com petition? The present tariff conditions have assumed a complexion which not only requires a check in its aggressive ness, but actually amendment, Is at last admitted among those responsible for these conditions. Such a concession was made when dozen or more reciprocity treaties were submitted to the senate but the sincerity of the concession and the honest intention to surrender the least advantage as long as 1t can be held Is emphatically disproved by the fact that session after session of the senate has passed without taking the least action on these treaties.
 "I need hardly refer to the prevalence just at this time among the supporters of high protection of declarations and professions in favor of tariff readjust- ment. We hear 1t on every side What does 1t mean? It means that they see the handwriting on the wall as they have never seen 1t before. Does 1t mean that they are sincerely willing to do something for the people, as against old comrades who have heretofore paid well for the neglect of the people?
 How can we believe this when we see still paraded up and down before our sight the hoary-headed, bloated and mal- adorous old fraud and pretense that the tariff should be revised by its friends? What have these friends of the tariff done that they should again be trusted7 They have quieted the peoples fears and professed solicitude for their well fare and promised to lead them to the pleasant places, and now that shoals and rocks have been struck they seek by another promise to mend the whole affair. and retain the confidence and trust of those they have deluded.
 'I have supposed that my fellow citi- zens are thoughtful on this subject and that their thoughtfulness has led them to desire an amendment of our tariff laws. and a rectifcation of the wrong and injustice that follow in their train I have attempted to give reasons why this work should not be entrusted to those who have so fully demonstrated their insincerity and unfitness for the task"
 Following the meeting there was a non partisan reception to MT. Cleveland. at which about 200 prominent residents of this city were present.

 According to the new list of qualifica. tions for Chinese army recruits each ap- plicant must be at least four feet and eight inches in height and able to run seven miles an hour.

the new Spanish minister TO this country,
is in the city and will remain here for a
short time before going to Newport for
the remainder Of the summer. Discussing
the conditions of trade in Spain and the
proposed reciprocity treaty with the United

nal of Commerce as saying:
Spain having lost her colonies fully rec
ognizes the Importance of increasing her
commercial relations in order to adjust her
affairs to the new conditions. But what is
needed as a preparation for increased COM
mercial intercourse is a better understand
ing and more general intercourse between
the two peoples. 1 find there is almost to-
tai ignorance. in a popular sense, in the
United States as 10 what Spain is, and
there is even greater ignorance, if possible,
in Spain in regard TO the United States. AS
a beginning, therefore, l favor increased
intercourse between the two nations. When
the people of Spain and the United States
get TO understand each other better the
commercial opportunities will follow. And
L think that happy and practical way OF
creating this better understanding has been
