A CONVICTED RoBBER.

The tariff stands today like pris-
oner at the bar ready to receive sen
tence All that saves it is its polite
al influence and its debts. There is
estimated to be an aggregate credit
of over $4,000 900. 600 built upon it
and that is where the safety of the
convicted robber lies That is why it
would take twenty years Of the Bah
cock plan and supplementary meas
ures to get back to natural trade. This
enormous credit is used like a great
gun. loaded with panics. ready to be
discharged at a defenseless people
The money of the country has BY the
operation of the tariff been so con
sested that one man can hold up a
nation of 10000, 900 people.

And we forget
That tasks are set

God help u.s. for we laugh and weep
And drift on easy tide,
And scarcely know
The hours that go
Are meant for aught beside.
God help us. for the wealth Of days
The golden string of hours,
Is treasure loaned.

For sins we know ours,
But shall We ransomed stand. unstained
If needless of our trust,
The days go by

Life.s gold be turned to dust?

Naught else the needs suffice;
For noble zeal

For service, sacrifice;
For weaving while the day is ours,
For smoothing Hfe,s rough uay,
