HOW PROTECTION PROTECTS.
Whatever the polioy or history of
the Republican party of the past may
have been it ia now planted squarely
and fairly on the cornerstone of pro
tection, high tariff protection, to
American industries. We were told
before the election and this is the
plea on which they went before the
American people that "without such
protection our industrial system
would collapse, the owners of the re
spective industries be bankrupted
and the workmen be reduced to beg
gary. It is somewhat surprising,
then, to see in a paper like the Phila
delphia Press, a rank protection or
gan, a paragraph like the following:'
"Inventions, labor-saving machinery and
the quality of the manufactures hare con
tributed to place this country in a position,
regarding all staple article of manufacture,
in which it has little to fear from foreign
competition in the markets of the world."
This is identically the position
taken by Democrats in discussing the
Mills bill, that there was no need of
the protection demanded by the man
f acturers, tha'i they were or ought to
be amply able to hold the field
against foreign competition with the
incidental protection a tariff for re
venue would give them. Democratio
speakers in and out of Congress, and
Democratic writers maintained that
even if it were conceded that a pro
tective tariff for protection's sake
were constitutional and defensible, it
was not necessary and consequently
such unnecessary taxation was un
just to the people upon whom it was
levied. In support of this position,
they used this very idea and 8ub
stantially the same language here
quoted from this high tariff organ.
The Press would have been
the last paper in the world
to have admitted anything of
this kind to its columns when the
Mills bill was under discussion, and
it is somewhat surprising that it
has the candor to do so now, being
still as it is a Republican and high
tariff organ in good standing. But
it will not be in good standing long
if it continues on this line. As the
election is over, however, it can
afford to be truthful and candid in
these matters and indulge in a wider
liberty of speech. The views that
some editors hold are governed, to a
great extent, by party emergencies
and the offices at stake. The declar
ation of the Press is true, and was as
true years ago and last year, when
made by Democrats, as it is now.
With improved machinery and in
telligent, skilled labor the American
' manufacturer can bid defiance to the
world, and if relieved from the in
cubus of this high tariff falsely
called a protective tariff could dis
tance the race of competition the
manufactures of any nation on earth.
We were told in the last Presiden
tial campaign, as we were also told
in campaigns preceding it, that the
protective tariff was intended , not
only for the protection of the manu
facturer but also of the American
workman and the American farmer,
and yet we find, following almost
directly on the heels of Harrison's
election a reduction of wages in the
protected establishments and within
the past two months before the new
administration had got fairly started,
we find Mr. Andrew Carnegie, Mr.
Blaine's special friend, who derives
an income of $1,500,000 a year
from the protective tariff, cutting
down the wages of his employes
from twenty to fifty per cent.
The owners of coal mines are also
protected, and yet we learn from the
Indianapolis papers that in one coun
ty of the coal district of Indiana
there are thousands of people who
lived by labor in the mines in a starv
ing condition, and who have to be
fed by the bounty of others more fa
vored by fortune than they. This is
in Harrison's own State, and
doubtless many of these men voted
for him under the delusive impres
sion that their condition would be
bettered by the protective system, of
which he was and is the representa
tive. To-day they are dependent on
charity for the bread which keeps
life in them,their wives and children.
That is protecting the working man
with a vengeance.
It was to benefit the farmer
also, and yet we are told
officially by State Assessor Wood,
of New York, that the out
look for the New York farmer is
very dismal, and that farming land
in that State, one of the most denser
ly populated and wealthy States in
the Union, is constantly depreciating
in value, as is also the case through
out New England and some of the
Western States, while the farmers of
Michigan are protected to the extent
of receiving five cents a bushel for
their potatoes. What a tremendous
fraud this so-called protection is ?
inlNOK ITIENTION.
Mr. Harrison is achieving distinc
tion as a civil service reformer. He
wanted to put a good, loyal partisan
in the place of Judge Sandford of the
Supreme Court of Utah, who was in
formed that his resignation would be
acceptable. The Justice did not
show the celerity which the case de
manded in sending in his resignation,
whereupon he was removed, with the
information that his administration
was not in harmony with the policy
which the President deemed proper
to be pursued in reference to Utah
affairs. There were no charges of
incompetency, neglect of duty or
anything of that sort, but a man in
accord with Mr. Harrison's party
wanted the place, and that was
ground enough for the removal. It
will not be long before Messrs. Har
rison & Co. have civil service worn
to a frazzle.
Here is another significant fact.
The Bethlehem Iron Works Com
pany of Pennsylvania have purchased
17,000 acres of mineral land in Bar
stow county, Ga., at the price of
$190,000, where the company pro
pose to mine iron and manganese ore
on a large scale for shipment to
their workB on Pennsylvania. After
they have thoroughly tested the
value of the ores in this way, they
will erect large furnaces and rolling
mills on its property. It is said the
ore is among the finest in America
and that the Colts contemplated at
one time establishing their armory
there.
It was rumored that Mr. Harrison
had recalled Mr. Patrick Egan, Min
ister to Chili, on acoount of his alleg
ed connection with the Clan na Gael,
which is charged with being respon
sible for the murder of Dr. Cronin.
But this rumor has been denied by
Mr. Blaine. The appointment of
Egan was one of Mr. Blaine's fine
strokes, and whether Mr. Egan be
longs to the clan or not, Mr. Blaine
is not going to throw any political
fat into the fire by consenting to his
recall if it be contemplated by the
President.
It is estimated that the next census
of the United States will show a pop
ulation of 65,000,000, an increase of
thirty per cent, since the last census
was taken. The estimated increase
of acreage in grain is put at thirty
per cent, and of cotton at forty, of
cattlejit forty-seven, and there is lots
of room yet to grow.
STATE TOPICS.
There seems to be no difference of
opinion now among North Carolina
Farmers, who give attention to stock
raising,4 as to the value of the silo as
a preserver of feed for stock,and some
of the largest stock raisers now de
pend almost exclusively upon it,
putting np very little hay or, fodder.
At first it was doubted whether the
feed put up m this way would keep
well, and if it did whether it would
not be injurious to stock if they ate
it, but experience has settled all this
satisfactorily and now the silo lias
become a permanent.institution on the
farms of many of our best and most
progressive farmers.
The North Carolina Teachers As
sembly will convene at Morehead
City on Tuesday next, the 18th, and
close Monday, July 1st. The rail
roads have given reduced rates, and
a special "Assembly train" will run
through from Asheville to Morehead
on .the 18th. The order of exercises
for each day during the session has
been carefully arranged, and the con
venience and pleasure of the teachers
and friends of education who may be
members of the Assembly have not
been overlooked. It promises to be
a very interesting and enjoyable session.
CURRENT COMMENT.
TheDemocratio National Com
mittee yesterday elected Mr. Calvin
S. Brice of New-York as its Chair
man by a unanimous vote. The only
significance the election has is in the
fact that Mr. Brice is cordially and
frankly in favor of the tariff-reform
principles and policy of his party,
and that he was sharply opposed on
that account by a few pretended
Democrats outside the committee.
Senator Barnum, whom Mr. Brice
succeeds, was by no means so earnest
in that particular direction, and so
far as this point is concerned the
change is an improvement. Mr.
Barnum's character received at the
hands of Senator Gorman and in a
resolution by the committee very
waim eulogy. The general feeling
expressed by the members of the
oommittee was one of confidence,and,
with a single exception, that of a
member who confessed that he
"knifed" the candidate of his party
last year, one of earnest wish to try
the elections of the next four years
on the same general issue as that
presented in 1888,
The increasing eccentricity of
our chief magistrate has of late
reached such lengths that one is at a
loss how to explain it. The quality
eccentricity is, in its nature, a feeble
and aborted form of originality; and
of originality in any shape no one has
ever suspected Mr. Harrison. Are
then certain of his recent amazing
appointments due to the influence of
Mr. Blaine? But if so, where has
gone that inborn shrewdness which
has so often taught the wily Secreta
ry what was the expedient thing to
do or say on any given occasion ?
Be the source what it may, many of
the recent official acts of the Presi
dent have been such that we find it
impossible to take them seriously;
so much so, indeed, that we shrink
from formulating a theory or basing
any conclusion upon them. N. Y.

Stories of a North Carolina Preacher
Washington Poet
North Carolina probably never
produced an abler preacher than Dr.
Francis L. Hawkes, who a quarter of
a century ago was pastor of Grace
Episcopal church, New York. Short,
thick-set, swarthy, black eyed and
black-haired, be was a striking per
sonage. He was not only a great
pulpit orator, but considered the
best reader in the New York episco
pacy. His rather luxurious family
deterred him from accepting a bish
opric, which would have been other
wise tendered. One day a delega
tion from a Buffalo church waited
upon and invited him to accept a
pastorate in that city.
"Well, gentlemen, other things
being satisfactory, the question of
acceptance narrows down to a busi
ness matter," paid Dr. Hawkes.
"What salary do you offer?"
"Doctor HawkeB," said the spokes
man, "we recognize tbat you have a
high reputation and we are willing
to be liberal. Our recent pastor has
received $2,500, but on account of
your standing we have decided to
offer you $3,500."
"My good man," cried the doctor,
fasping, "do you know what salary
am receiving here?"
"No, sir."
"I get $15,000 and this parsonage,
and as I have an expensive family I
do not see my way clear to accept
your offer."
The spokesman looked rather
sheepish, but made another essay.
"If we had known that fact, sir,
we would undoubtedly have looked
elsewhere, but you should remember
that the work of the laord must be
done, and as for providing for your
family you know .the story of the
ravens."
"Now, my friends," responded the
clergyman, quizzically, "I have made
the Bible my study ever since I was
28. I have read it through carefully
and prayerfully over 100 times. I
remember the raven incident perfect
ly, but nowhere can I find any refer
ence to the Lord's providing for
young Hawkes." ..
Dr. Hawkes was an intimate friend
of :Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, and as
full of-life and good humor as the
great Brooklyn divine. One day,
when the latter was in the hey-day
of his fame, and crowds were being
turned away every Sunday -morning
from Plymouth Cjharcb, e met
Hawkes on the street.
- Afily dear doctor," said he, "why
don't you come over some Sunday
and hear me preach? My wife and
family and I myself have frequently
sat in your pew, and listened to your
sermons with delight. Your family
have often occupied my pew with
Mrs. Beecher, but you never come;
now why is it?"
"My dear Beecher," said Dr.
Hawkes, "I was brought up very
strictly. I have not always lived up
to my mother's teaching, but there is
one thing she taught me not to do
and I never have. I never go to
places of amusement on Sunday."

Health not long airo discovered that in the
great majority of instances where this dis
ease made its appearance, the patients were
those accustomed to the bight lamp. All
the possible trouble saved by the conve

"comfort derived from it are as nothing
piaced against the evils accruing to every
human system exposed to its noxious
