TH PROTECTIVE PRINCIPLE.

Able Speeiih by Senator Wilson, of Iowa, in Reply to tha Frideut'i. Message. -TWasWnglon tblegrahtl' iifi Wilson, of iBwa, addressing itie Senate oh the subject of the Prciident's message, quoted the figures contained hi the lost annual import of the Heor jtary of the Treasury, showing the receipts nd expenditures of the Government for the last three years, the aggregate of receipts over expenditures bo ng $178, 000,000. 01 an average ef fi58,0W),OOtt a year. Tho result thus disclosed, he said, presented the limit within whioh Congress should movo in the matter of reducing the revenue. H owever much Senstors mightifferas to tha methods of reduction, all would doubtlem agree that the revende should be reduiled. It Wat not wise or just to collect more iretenue then Was needed for the proper purposes of the government. He alluded to the great achievements of the Republican party, and artlbfflWIT bl the briolioaTciaoity which could evolve a boundless wsiiit for a Government that was bankrupt when it took charge of its affairs. Se'refarred to the railroad laud-t(Tvntpoltoy as something in whioh the liepoUtoan party Without due consideration followed the precedents of the Demoqratto party. The Republican party, lie said, fihould bo excused for not at once detecting the daugemcn postibitities of the Pemoorsiio land-gMnt polioy. It wai not responstbte for the war, bttt it was respouidble for the maintenance of American institutions,, the enforcement of the laws, and the tmitv of the Honnblici. This nesponsibility it had met ana disohatged faitntuiiy and tony. Beferribg. to the growth and prosperity of the country, he contrasted the, figures of 1800 and VW0 as to agriculture and manufactures, and said ihat the true polioy was the one whioh would plant nainufaoturing establishments in every part of every agriouitursl State. If a reduction of prices for manufactured articles was what was wanted th ra was no surer road to its realization than the one which would lead to an oisrriouuon 01 luauiuuciuuug plants in all the localities Where agriculture produced cheap food and where the forests and mines and quarries supplied tbe-raw mtterlalu needed;' There should be an end of (he polioy which tended to centralize manuf ioturin plants in the great cities and a polioy should be adopted whie.i would distribute them in all parts of the country. It, however, they were to follow the President's suggestion they would not multiply and distribute manufacturing pbintt, but they 'vould embarraiis those now in operation and repress the tendency to invest capital in them. As to the annual sarplns of about $('.9,000,000 he asked what was tue right thing to do about it.. Could that right thing be found in any of the Schemes urged upon our attention by the President and other opponents of protection. Was there anything in those schemes that could produce such happy re sults as had happened In the cotton manufacturing Industries of the Southern States within the lost seven years? To theso various questions he said no. The country had done well and was doing well under the policy which the Preiiident assailed. Whatever of a danger wan now menacing tbe country canto from sources other than those enacted in the protective policy. That policy had given thii country strength and prosperity. Proceeding to Uui discussion of tbe question of the duty on sugar and molas. bos he quoted figures to show that in spite of tbe tans the prices or tbe articles uau fallen considerably for several years past, and hs suggested the removal of the duty on sugar and molasses, amounting to about $58,000,000, as a means of gnaiding against tha surplus of $60,000,000. He quoted some sentences from the President's message, and asked whether any better response could, be given to thtm than by placing sugar and molasses en the tree list But, as to himself, he thought that was a subject en which they should make haste slowly. He would admit free all sugar and molasses coming from countries which did not impose import duties on those commodities, and whioh reoiprojated by admitting American products free of duty into their ports. And then, be asked, why not adopt tha practical business plan whioh had worked so well in Burspean conutrios, and provide for paying a reasonable bounty to tho producers of sugar in the United States? Under this plan he suggested the impetus that would be given to tho production of sorghum sugar in the Western States. Be criticised the President's suggestions on the subject of wool, and said that no one woald infer from them that under tariff tinkering ttw wool product of the country had fallen off 4:i,0i 0,1)00 pounds in three years. The President:, he said, was not a skillful artist; his conception was not bold, his band not cunning; his presentation was pals and dull and flat After (lisoussing the wool and flu question as affecting farmers, llr. Wilson said that farmers should demand that fill articles produce d by them should be taken from the free list;, and that at least a moderate rata of duty should be imposed upon them. Coming book again to the question of on annuiil surplus revenue, he. asked whether there was no way of getting rid of it without disturbing the true industrial interests of the country. It seemed that there was a way both short and clear, and that was in conneotioa with tha tax on intoxicating liquors. That was where he would make the reduction. The uruo interests of the people demanded thai; the revenue system should be f-o adjusted as to prevent the tax on intoxicating liquors from becoming a fixed and necessary part of it. He might not have bis way of treating tbe Subject approved by others. He should deeply regret the passage of any bill looking to the reduction of revenue which did not make a pronounced start toward the ultimate elimination of the liquor tax from the law. 4 CIvli-SerrlcB Reform. June 11, 1887, the record of Cleveland in eivil-aerviee reform stood as follows: Offices. Number. Changes.' Fourth-elasn Pottmaatsri ffi!,0ii8 40,000 l'resideatia: tfostmaateri 2,470 2,000 Foreign Ministers ;M U2 B0OTOtriea of Legations....... Bi 15 Collectors of.

And this decapitation business has been carried on by the I'roaid'jut in the teeth of the following declaration in his letter accepting tho nomination for the Presidency, which was the flybait glittering on his trolling-line that caught the mugwumps by the gills, which elected him: "Of the means to this end not one would, in my opinion, be more effective than on amendment to the Constitution disqualifying the President from re-election. Wh-u we consider the patronage of this xrittt office, the allutements of power, tho temptation to rotairi place ouoo gained, and, more than all, tae availability a paity finds in nn incumbent whom a horde of office-holders, with a zeal bo-n of benefits and fosterad by the hope of favors yet to come, stand ready to aid with monev and trained political senico, we rccoeni,0 in the eligibility of the President for reelection a moist serious danger to that aim, deliberate tii tnleUlgeat poiujeej action

which must characterize a government by the people." And as a contemporary justly remarks: "Ana the office of Chief. Justice of the United Sottas is being dangled before the political bouses to stimulate their support of this earns Cleveland for a second term: and tieofge William Curtis and the rest of the poets and Sentimentalists afe still (deals izipg arid ceiebratinsi . the persontfier Of nullification, falsehood; add fraud, ahd groveling in sycophancy before his pudgf footsteps.'' Chicago JViouHe; The Tnriff and the Worker. ; The first and final proposition for serious pttbliti discussion is not what may be of partisan advantage, Demooratie or Be. publioan, but what is for the national good. What policy is on American polioy? A pnblio policy that narrows the opportunities,-dlnisbes the chance, lessens the fair compiitlsatioh of the worker, restricts; the power of earning, closes the avenue Of common comf drt, ar.d pauperizes, or tends to paupstii'.ei the musses, is a policy that is un-Amnricah, Whilb all ore moved by the lotiiit or active wtiniriln of selfishness! the groMetit good 1c the greatest huiajoet in the end is the wisest and only permanent rule. The measure of a nation's prosperity is the capacity of national consumption. The people who buy tho most sugar, wetr the largest amount of clothing, consume per person (he largest amount of meat and orcadsiuffs, shttw tile ability of earning before purchase. When American wages by European, competition brings our workers to European prices, the general prosperity will be proportionately narrowed. The man who earns fifty cents per day eannot spend a dollar, and toe necessary European model of living (meatless soups, cheap clothing, and scant fare) will follow the narrow Edroneon compensation!. While unrestricted immigration is not an unqualified good, and while a congestion of the foreign element in our great cities supplies the majority of our criminals for punishment and paupers to be fed. the only limited benefit that .could come of tree trade and lowering of wages is that, bringing on both sides ol the sea Hie daily earnings to one common level of 'lowness, the temptation of European exodos would bo wonting. The influx of. foreign capital has boon for the bettefing of its investment. The influx of foreign Ittbof has been stimulated only by Us et peotanoe of increased compensation. An eminent English statesman onoe oynioaUy said: Th) only service the Irish face ever 'pndered England was to emigrate to thi ' '.nited Slates and vote With the Democratic, party in .taror of British free trade.- E& Senator XrkeU, in Judoe Bolt) IngcrsoU on the Tariff. If the people who really prefer the Republican to the Democratic party vote together there is no dubt as to the success of the Republican party. The majority in this country do not believe in free trade. A large majority think it of the utmost importance to diversify and proteot, when, necessaiy, the industries of the people. A large majority, in my judgment, think the tariff ought, in many particulars, to be rs formed. They know that every tariff bill: that has ever been passed has been more, or less deformed by compromise. The' know that all tbe interests asking for protection combined, and that some interests that ought not to be protected secured i'i by threats and intimidation. That is. they said: "If yoa da not protect us, we will vote not to proteot yon. 'So that the deserving industries bavu been compelled to include many that were undeserving. Every success hasiti parasiMu Some people are willing to destroy the (access for the sake of Jrillimt tha pariaites, but the great majority do not feel like injuring themselves do not feel like sacrificing a great good for tho sake of destroying a small evil. So much money has been invested, so many people find employment, so many interests are interwoven with and depend upon the industries that are protected, that anything liki free trade will bring, for a time at least, a ruin that would never be repaired except by resorting again to protection. The campaign will, in my judgment, be fought mainly upon the tariff issue. Of course the ehnracter of each party will be can. vassed and the history of each will be repeated thousands of times. The records will be read. Bygones will not be allowed to remain bygones. The attitude of the Democratic party toward slavery, its hatred of freedom, its sympathy with rebellion and itii utter failure to understand aui grasp the financial and economical questions of our time will be retold and dwelt upon. fiVom a recent interview. Reform Inconsistency. The illustrated organ of mugwumperyia this city has at last opened its eyes to a realization of the fact' that the President has thrown off his oiril-service reform mask and come out in the toga of a machine politician. President Arthur, who honestly lived 'ip to the requirements of every feature of the law governing appointments in the civil service, never received a word of 1 raise from the organs now hunting around lor excuses for Cleveland's betrayal of tbe reformers. If Mr. Dormsa B. Eaton wete put 011 the stand he woald give evidenoe to the hiiarty co-operation whioh the Commit -sionof which he was the Chairman received from President Arthur and his department chief 11. No attempt was made to evade the law. Now that Cleveland has abandoned civil service reform as advocated by Mr. Curtis and his followers, what may be expected (if them? Are any of them opposing his renomiaation as they opposed Arthur's nomination, on the ground that he does not truly represent their views? Not one (if them. They all conoeds his nomination, and, so far as we hare sen, advocate it. The Republican party was the author of the civil service law. Its President faithfully executed the law, but tbe reformers deseHed Ailhur and the Republican party. The Democratic party was never in favor of the law, and its President has given up all pretense of favoring reform, and yet the reformers are seeking excuses for Cleveland, and by so doing are encouraging to the extent of their ability tbe Pemocratio party, which is, and always has boon, little less than an organized grab for anything in s ght iu the shape of public plunder. The average reformer's consistency is paste jewelry. Arei York Press, The Man for 1888. There are still in (he field five or six gentlemen, either one of whom would make a good candidate and an admiral le President when elected. Indeed, when one counts the number that have declined peremptorily already, and adds to tbe 1st thoiie who are still in the field, he begins to sppreoiate the fact that the grand old parly has not exhausted its resources. "Many be called, but few are chosen,'' and it must not be forgotten that only 0:10 will be nominated by the convention. No one can make anything but a wild guess in regard to our standard-bearer. If (he convention bad been held two months age, Mr. Blaine would undoubtedly have been nominated; if the nomination was to be mado to-morrow, tho choice might fall on John K' erman or Allison, with Utile Phil Sheridan a good third in the race, notwithstanding his deoided declination. When the convention meets on the lilth day of next June, it is to be earnestly hoped public opinion will bo pointing so unmistakably to. the right man that no m atake will be possible.

Within Hows there were between forty and fifty persons, alto waiting tj bear the worst. 1 bay were componod chisMy of representatives of tha proas and friends ol the dead Senator. It was a dreadful struggle that the patient fought against grim death, but at last nis end Was peaceful and uhscaoltipinled by pain. His sorrowing wire and daughter were weeping at bla side, but the ouoo keen eyes were glazed and sat in the uoo inal struggle. Mrs. Conkling and ber daughter both bore np bravely, bnc tbe elder laetv was tbe moat prostrated. Mrs. Oakman s pportod bef mother. Tbe ashen pallor looimod uiwo (ha emaciated face of the suffonSr. sir. Conkllng gasped three or foor times and passed away. In death the lines aoont his mouth and on his lace were slightly drawn, bat stin bis fee seemed natural. The interment will be at Utioa, N . Y. Prior to death the sad news of Impending dissolution spread rapidly in 'ho botoi, and wm ticked Oft by wire to a sorrowing country. Large crowds assembled in the streets, anxious to learn the latcBt news. There was a hush In the corridors of the hotels near by and a pervading opnrc ssive quiet and solemnity. All voices were subdued. The friends wh raine to make a last call want away with sorro trial faces. The doctors had baaed their bopes exclusively ' oa the patient's splendid pbyaique. Fatting this magnificent physique to a severs teat during the bllzsard of March 19 la said to be tbe very caus.i of Mr. Conkllng's illness, Hs dolighted in telling tha story of bis stragglf. through the snow ott that evening whon he walked from his.onlce In Wail street to bis home in West Twenty-fourth st-eot. For two waeka attar his hsroio deed he continued tv work, and at last, on March 3.1, had to succumb. On April 3 ha ealted in Dr. Agnaw. and on the otb Dr. Sands, after consultation, determined on performing on of tho moat dilieate operations known to surgical science. Physio al diagnosis proved that a pun sac lay nside tha skull b tok of tbe aw. la tbe oiieration tha rather awkward trephine wan dispensed with. In order to give vent to tho bus, which doubtlessly bore op the brain, Dt. Sands made a li.toial incision In the scalp, and than a sharp olrisol was placed on the exposed luastoi 1 n me With one sharp stroke of 4ho mallet the chisel was tent right through tho bono. Pus freely flowed, and tha fever was reducod. Temporary reliel followed. It was a sorrowful group that surrounded tho sick man's bedside, aui! tearfully watohail tiie passing away of tho treat Senator. The strong frame that in hi delirium reunited tha stoutest watchers to ho d, s'.on while wasted by disease, now lay low and lifeless in the hands of tbe Great Destroyer. Tho breathing c-f those powerful lungs, whose musieal but son irous sound reverberated through tbe balls ot Congress, was weak and dillioult. and gradually became Slower and more labored, until their action ceased forever, A premature announcement of Mr. Conkllng's death was made in the Now York Assembly, whoroupon the House passed resolutions exI rcsiiro of its admirat'oo aud estoom for him, sugsesting a joint memorial committee of the Bouse and Senate, and adjourned .out- (4 respect to hi me.mory. Blosraphlcal Sketch. lioscos Coukliug was bora in Albany, N. Y.. Oct. 30, 1820. His father, Albert Conkllng, was a llepreeautativu iu the :;eventa nth Congress, and afterword tilled tha positions of United Statei, Judge for tha Nurt&era District of New York i:nd Minister to Me-cico. ltcscoa received a common school ana ac&demlc education. Kinoviuj to Auburn and Geneva with his father he studied law three years under his tuition. In ISW he entered the law o.ilee of Spencer 4 Keruan - in Vtica, aud in 1819 was arpointed by Hamilton Fish lUslrlct Attorney of Oneida County, several uouths before he attained his majority.

The triumphs be achieved at tbe bar. and which were his liassports to public 1 reference, were gained before he reached the age of 21). After tln.t be aocopted but few cases, but in these'bis success was marked. He married Julia Seymour, sister of ex-Gov. Horatio Seymoar. In 1858 ha -was elected Mayor of Utlca, and iu November of the some year ho was elected a Iiepresentatlve in tbe t hirty sixth Congress and took bis seat iu tbat body at the beginning of its first session, m December, 189, 8 sosioa noted lor its long and bitter contest over the Speakership.

The two I rot hers entered the Thirty-seventh Congress at tho opening of the special session convened by President Lincoln, July 4, 1801. Iu this Congress lloscoe Conkllng was Chairman of tha Couanittao on tha District of Columbia, and also of a speoial oommittea appointed to frame a bankrupt law. A candidate for ro-!ootlon to the Thirtyeighth Congreaa, he was dofeated by bis old law partner, Francis Kernnn. Iu ISO Coukliug defeated him, serving 011 the Committees on Wars end Mennsaiulon Reconstruction.

In tho same seseiou he voted for tho pavuient o! inter, at on ttie debt iu coiu. Mr. Conkllng was a tlrm upholder of all legislation tonding to upiiold tho hands of the admluistratiou in pro jecutixig tho war for the suppression of tbe rebellion. In the fall of 18 w he was elected U.. the Fortieth Congress, but before that Congress met be was eleowd to succeed Judgo lia Hani as t'uited btates Senator from the State of New- York. Ma took his saat lit tho Senate March 4, lticf, and was reelected twice, his second term beginning March 4, 183. and bis third term March 4, 18i0. He was a zealous supporter of (ioneral Grant's administration. Tha general poliay of that admuilatratiou toward tbe South was largely d rectod bv Senator Conkllng, wbo advocated It with ail the powsrs of bis eloquence and all tha potency of bis porsoual and political -iuuueace.
