but there is a good deal of

tending to he very much in
terested in discovering l.v

have informally concluded to

cided wh; ther to make n re
newal of the modus viveml a
conditi m of its going into
effect. They will decide this
week.
There is a curious story go
in sr a roil: d concerning Mr.
Harrison and Mr. Blaine. It
says that Mr. Blame attiud
ed the l.i:U cahinei meeting,
and there for the first time
learned the full extent of Mr.
Harrison's management of
the Bchring Sea business.
and that when as!eI to give
his ml vice lie declineil to oo
so, saying in effect that he
preferred having nothing to
do with it.
It is deieed at the Navy de
partment that any orders
have li-H-n issued coneeiuiiiti

hut it is well known that there
are enough revenue cutters
in the Pacific to do t he-work,

You

:-v
for instance, what do you J - - V
You take ii protective tariff lor
a lever, and put one end of it
under the infant industry thai is
lo be raised, ion loou aiouinli
for some e-i .od. fat, hearty consu
ni'T and hiy lain down us a
ground chunk; you bear down
on the rail ami up 'ee1' the in
fant indi.stry. hut down j;ocs
t lie ground chunk in t lie gi-'uu:'.
The reason our friends justify
the principle is that they see the
infant industry rise, but they for
get the man npon whom they
iii e placing ill.- burden. And the
t rouble wit h t his coiiai ry is that
ail over the bind are the homes
of forgotten men men w li o s e
tights have been violated and
wiiose interests have been disiv
giirded in order that somebody
else may be el.' idled. It is the
principle that is iuvolv.-d in tin.-,
little binding twine bill You see
the industry that j( is the :()..
)u0. but you never think of the
farmers who go d"wn into their
pockets and iay the litt'e sums
that make up the great enioeat.
Is not that a fact? Is not that
theefiect ot the tariff? Therefore
the man who ja.- tifies protection
as a priii.' ipl- iiiusf prove three
things: lie must prove that the
principle is ri;:ht, that the policy
is wise a ml that thetaxis ncces-
ajsarv.
When some voiiii; man selee

which is the unit of society and
upon which our government and
our prosperity must rest when
they snrt to build this little
home, and them'in who sclisthe

collect a tariff upon that; the
