We propose to give our readers the benefit of a discussion by the best political economist who vrites for the papers, Mr. J. S. 'Moore,1 of New York. A' 'few days a ;0 he wrote to the Times as follows of the farmer and all who are taxed: j ! "He has to 'give,' 'give,' 'give' froni the moment he gets up in the morning, when he washes his hands with taxed soap, hntil he goes to bed with a taxed 'night-pap;' if he Still wears one.

What a swindle it is, for instance, to put a auliy on wheat, when all the wheat we imported during 1886 was 380,540 buBhels, white our exports of wheat during the sameWr were 67,759,209 bushels, besides 8,00$.000 barrels of flour. The farmer, serf o the organized army of protection, is not bene fited one cent by the protection of ! wheat, lie gets in New York the price, less freight and charges, that the wheat sells for in uuuuum. x- ui lUBtauue, i see mat Amen- rTI whftat run hA Oftllt n 9 A :i i .... .. vui ul ayru was selling in London for 7s 2d per 100 pounds Which " ponaioie f i.

Now, as tho farmer in the United Slates only gets the London price less charges for his wheat, which is 93 cents net, let me show how much granula ted sugar 10 bushels of wheat at 83 cents ?i v ,,lu uonaon, and how milch it will buy in New York. The price for gran ulated sugar in London is 16s. perlundred weight or for 112 pounds- which is a near as possible 8J cenu per pound. The (price for the same kind of sugar In New York in whelesale is 5 cents per pound. f m lWiuh,the8 flcta Wore us we find that 10 bushels of wheat at 93 cento in (New Trf9 ?'

The same 10 bushels of wheat at 93 cenu net in London, or $9 30, will buv as near as possible 265 pounds of granu- if,8U?ar London at 8 ceB Per pound. In other words, when the Ameri- can farmer wants to turn 10 bushels of hia wheat into sugar in London he geU 256, ?h.nn.dBaDMlf b to do thelsame thing in New York he gets only 162 pounds, or 103 pounds less." j j f- , We ask every intelli sent mL tri scrutinize those figures-.

Randall. He is given to understand that he must make a bargain with the Democrats in the Fiftieth Congress. He must refuse to co-operate with them unless they will agree to wipe ont ibe tax on whiskey,! tobacco, &c The de mand has been explicitly formulated, and as Mr. j Randall s retained by them he will hardly dare to disobey their behests. So assured are they that they can control even the Speak ership as well as a reduction of the dangerous, corrupting surplus, and all questions1 affecting the tariff that thev are bold I and impudent in i-ii : their requirements, j Randall is their chosen instrument and he will be found talking Democracy and votiDg with "our friends, the enemy.1' We have noticed ' recently several demands aa to I how 1 the Randall crowd shall conduct themselves. The latest we have noticed is from the Lancaster (Penn.) Examiner, j an in fluential Protection advocate. It says: ' . , j . ' "Tf VP mttt.Al.'f n Tr. l?AniAl and hia felloe tariff Democrats will be exnected to deaiHod some Assurance. from whoever is to be the next.Speakcr, that the will of the majority of the Uoujsa shall assert itself in the inkier of, internal revenue taxation.

He must see to it that the Speaker is elected upon a promise to abolish the internal taxes. Mark, this is the programme of Piotectionista. I Why abolish the tax on drinks and smokes? Because it would wipe out some $115,000,000 annually or morel This would throw tbB country entirely upon the Tariff for all moneys with which to conduct the Government. Tho Tariff now raises some $180,000, 000. It will hi.ve to raise! some $300,000,000. W ipe out the inter nal tax and a High Protective; Tariff becomes an eternal principle. J Mr. Randall ind his squad of Kickers cab cont ol the election of Speaker., The Democrats counting RinilaJlitet, have but fifteen or six teen majority in the House, of Re presentatives. II the Kickers sup port a Republican he will be elected. If they vote for a Democrat be will be Speaker. Hence, it is demanded by the Republics i papers that Ran dall shall only agree to support Car lisle upon the condition that the in ternal taxes go. j We begin to s ;e why it is that Mr. Carlisle has lowered his standard and talks of compromise. He cannot be elected Speaker without entering into an understanding with Randall. Mr. Carlisle thinks that the surplus THE SOOTH CAHOLIN SECESSION. It is very remarkable that in a church so eminently conservative as the Episcopal there should be a di vision if confined to even one State or Diocese ; The .dispatches to the Stab of Sunday told of the secession of a part of the churches m South Carolina.' It is a movement origi Dating in a controversy about the propei- status of the negroes1 Jt is a movement agaiDst embracing the negroes and whites under one or ganization, if we have caught the in tent of the movement. The secession is not very strong but it is signifi cant, j An independent body has been established. Initbe organization of the new convention there were but five ministers and twenty parishes represented. A dispatch from' Charleston says: ' ! "The eeceders were surprised at the re-! suit, and organized an independent move-' ment. An overture was sent to them to day exoressincr the reeret nf thn the course they had pursued, and urging them to return to the convention. This the secedera airreed that the Bishop would entertain, their ap-j peal. The proviso of the seceders was re jected by the convention and the two bodies have drifted further apart j "The; eeceders wil; issue a manifesto to' the parishes in the dioceeo setting -forth; their grievances, and next year tho whole question of the rights of the colored clergy will doub less come up again and the battle will be fought over again and to the bitter end Bishop Howe made a speech to-day on the adjournment of the convention, say-: in? that although the delegates had with drawn from the convention, they were still in the church and members of the diocese."

Uv; iBv Telegraph to the XorninK Star.j! - New Yobk, May 17. Continuation of the mvesligation : before the Pacific- Rail way Commission this morning found the well known broker, John Pondir, on the stand. He went - over the old : story of Credit Mobilier, in which the names of Jim Fisk, Jay Gould. . Oakes Ames and Oliver. Ames, John- B- Alley and others figured prominently. He took: occasion to vindicate Oaker Ames, saying that he1 was an honorable man and was killed by the infamous stories told concerning him j He attempted to show the connection of Blaine with Credit Mobilier. He said that when Tom Scott -was elected President of the Union Pacific, Scott told witness he; had 83 bonds which belonged to Blaine which the Union Pacific would have;to pay.) The stock was shown to witness. . 1 - ' JSV GOUld WM thn TlUTt nilnus t TTJn first connection with the Union Pacific was ia 1873.' . He bought largely of that stock at 88 and below, but it went down to 15. He found the road had an immense float ing indebtedness, and went to work with Sidney Dillon and Oliver Ames to fund It, and as they improved the property the stock went up.- "I deny emphatically," said Mr. Gould, "that I had any connec- tlsin w.lV. lit. TT t T" . m - uu mm ui uiuua iraciuc oerore low. l never took any interest in the Kansas Pa ciflc until 1878, and really know nothing of the . proposed consolidation with the Union Pacific as , early as 1875.- -There might have been something in the press about it but I am not responsible for what floats ; about in the papers. I remember nothing of a consultation with Col. Thomas A. Scott at the Continental Hotel in Phila delphia concerning the proposed consolida tion of roads in 1875, nor do I remember any action looking to unity of interest be tween; the Kansas Pacific and Colorado Central at that time." f. Subsequently, witness said there was an agreement at one time for such union but it was never carried out, and he must have seen Col. Scott in reference to it. . j Witness recalled the pool agreement of 1878. and said he signed for over three million securities. It was soon demonstra ted that the pool agreement would not carry, and the consolidated mortgage was determined upon. Witness did not remem ber who managed the pool and kept the figures, or whether he actually delivered the securities to the executive committee or not. -Auer we had scooped in all the se curities," said witness, "and the consoli dated mortgage had been executed, the stock was issued to the holders of pool se curities." Mr. Gould here presented state ments or his; dealings in Kansas Pacific, and was examined at length with reference to them. Witness made a large sale of Union Pacific stock to Cammack & Keene in 1879. On the first of January, 1879, he owned 170.000 sharp n . m - wv auu vu DUO 24th of January, 1880, he was clear on the books of the Union Pacific. - Mr. Gould, continuing, said "consoli dation was an assured fact on January 15, 1880, for I signed the paper on i that day, and I held the controlling interest in the Kansas Pacific. . It was decided to effect the consolidation to -put in Denver stock, of which I held a million dollars' worth, which I had bought at ten cents. As trustee I held 29,986 shares, and I told Mr. Holmes if he could get an order of court releasing it, we would put it in at more than it was worth that is at $500, 000. I remember this particularly, as I sold $1,000,000 worth at ten cents and shortly after bought it back at par. The trustees would have trot nothin? if thin ntnrfr hurt not been released for the bonds would haev been foreclosed and the stock could not have gone into the consolidation. What I did in the matter was the best possible thing for the trust, and I am willing to stand by my action. Parties having charge of the consolidation agreed to give $500,000 for this trust stock, and but for thin irnniramont nil.i.. could have been paid toward paying off themortgaee. Whatever the consolidated company put their seal to had an immed iate value, and though it was not obliged to accept this Denver Pacific stock, we arranged that it should and we thus did Our duty by the trust." j This closed Gould's examination for the day and the investigation was adjourned uuiu to-morrow, j In answer to Commissioner Anderson's searching questions regarding the handling of Denver Pacific stock in trust, Gould replied vigorously and gesticulated violent ly. He seemed greatly incensed at the im putation of a dishonorable deal between Sosl and himself in reference to this trust. SpiHtsTurpentu Mat t An TTy... : vrm r i lemple, of Olio, s n ...

Before he could rise from his seat the surg ing crowds who filled the platform and blockaded all the passageways, overflowed into the cars and O'Brien was swept from his seat and carried almost off his feet into a carriage . which was in waiting. The horses pranced about and kept Ecattering the crowd, and the carriage was guarded by uniformed men with spiked helmets, who were each supplied with several rounds of ball cartridge and from under whose belts the polished barrels of gleam ing six shooters peeped out in ominous readiness. But there has been no need for them so far. The Rossin House is only a few blocks away and as the party drove there the crowd increased and the enthusi asm erew neater..
