tions, believe in raising revenue from
imported goods. Nobody advocates
the free trade that England has. Eng
land raises money for government ex-
penses by tax upon incomes. and the
wealthy pay the most of it, grudging-
~ OF course. but they pay. neverthe-
less. The wealthy in this country
contribute no more to the national
treasury through the tariff system OF
taxation than ordinary citizens with
families. The benefciaries Of the
tariff pay no tariff themselves, and
they pay their employees the smallest
wages for which they can hire them.
They have become millionaires by
means of the tariff. and when several
OF them amalgamate and form trusts,
destroy competition and keep out for
eign products, they prey on the pock-
cts of the American consumers. 1t is
time to put a stop to their dapreda-
tions. The way to do it is through
tariff for revenue only.

Swinburne and Wilde,

The Independent" says that 1t is
greatly to the credit of the Catholic
church that swinburne, after his con-
version to Catholicity, did not write
any more of the impure verse which
brought him fame. That is not all,
writes Father Phelan in the Western
Waterman. Because he would not re-
call from publication his prurient pro-
auctions he was denied the sacraments
after his conversion; and for that rea-
son he could not receive the last sac
raments at his death, and not being
able to obtain Catholic burial wanted
no religious ceremony at his funeral.
The Church makes no compromise with
lust. Oscar Wilde received Christian
burial in the Church Of st. German
des Pres in Paris; but he was repent
ant of his sins. In any case, he was
never as indecent as swinburne.

concerned and indicates that fraternal
feelings prevail.

The Boston Herald says, "vindicate
Roger Williams by all means" This
is surely an era Of good feeling. Two
hundred and fifty years ago the Her
aid would gladly have sent Mr.. WIZ
liams to the Observation-Disclosures
Journal.
The Boston Herald, of course, was
not published then, but had it been, it
would probably have Joined in the hue

had the audacity of differing in relig.
ious opinion from the Puritans. To
keep his ears from being Topped off,
Williams left the Bay State in mid
winter and travelled through the will

he founded the first Baptist church in
America and established a govern
ment Of pure democracy for men of all

lies.

The Music of Ireland,

OF the music of Ireland DR.. Ernest
Walker says in his History of Music
in England:
Few musicians have been found to
question the assertion that Irish folk
music is, on the whole, the finest that
exists; it ranges with wonderful ease
over the whole gamut Of human emo
ton from the cradle to the battlefield
and is unsurpassed in poetical and ar
tistic charm. If musical composition
meant nothing more than tunes sixteen
bars long, Ireland could claim some OF
the very greatest composers that have
ever lived; for in their miniature form
the best Irish folk tunes are gems of
absolutely flawless lustre. and though
Of course. some of them are relatively
undistinctive. it is very rare to meet
with one entirely lacking in character
Of late years the publication Of numer-
Gus collections of arrangement by Stan
ford and others. and of the huge mass
of melodies transcribed in the middle
of the last century by Petrie, has at
tracted special attention to this field:
and there is no branch of folk music
which has been Investigated with more
artistic thoroughness.
Nearly all Irish tunes show a pc
culiar sensitiveness of feeling; it is
true that frequently they do not seem
emotionally to fit the words with which
they were in their earliest days con-
nected. but as mere SUGGESTIONS of notes
without words Of any kind are full of a
subtle vitality which can give delicate
and distinctive sparkle to more or less
humorous dance measures Of no par
ticular melodic holiness, and also rise
to such strains as 1T Is Not the Tear
a wonderful example of what can be
crowded into a restricted structural
scheme or If All the Sea Were Ink q
magniflcently majestic and solemn
march, to which Moore's Lay His
Sword by His Side is exactly suited
After all, for sheer beauty of melody,
the works of Mozart, Schubert and the
Irish folk composers form a triad that
is unchallenged in the whole range of
the art; deeper tunes have been writ
ten by still greater men, but these par
ticular inspirations show a flawless
spontaneity of utterance an instructive
feeling for loneliness and dignity OF
phrase as such, that we do not flnd

The high protectionists of the Unit
ed States Senate say that it is the
wholesale merchants. the brokers and
the retail dealers, and not the manu-
facturers, who derive the most benefit
from the tariff by charging exorbitant
prices. Of course, nobody believes
them. The manufacturers have waxed
and grown fat upon the tariff-pecom-
ing purse proud plutocrats--while the
merchants, brokers and retail dealers
have had enough to do to make both
ends meet. 1t is safe to assert that
eastern manufacturers have had the
lions share of the profits from the
tariff and. like Oliver Twist, they are
crying for more.
