In IMH wlion Pr-si-ident .loffeison wa^ favored with a .surplus lie preferred to allow the imports to t.ontinuo and apply wtid surplus to the const net ion of public roads, and to tin* jiurpo^e- i't education aixl internal improvement. .Jackson had signel a hill to ilivid"' th»* surplus among the riilferent States.

Su« a thing as a surplus in the National Treastirv lias never horctoftiro been held upas a M-iincrtiw to frighl.cn the public. He etiarg'd the administration with having covered a portion the public debi statement, in order thi.t the surplus might appeal S.WMMMMHi greater.

Senator Sherman's speech was listened with marked attention, and at itselose lie was congratulated by his Republican colleagues upon his masterly argument. Senator Vf»orh« es took tie* floor and spoke at length in defense of the message. The eh of the Indiana Senator upon this occasion was in strange contrast with his Atlanta speech of two years ago, when he made a more rabid piotcction spoeeh than the most radical Republican pro-

toctioiiist would daio ti make. Now In* is on the other sldo of tho femoand \vn\ in- the fr«M* trade Mag with mi^ht. and main.

Tin: FU KM'II AM) (i HUMAN TAUH'K ON Sl'C.AIt.

ome vears ago both France aitd Oofnuu.v imposed a very high taiiff on sugar in older to induce men with capital, in those countries.to go into the' manufaet ure of beet .sugar. Later, both governments offered bounties on all sugar exported to other nation-.. Under the stimulus these tariffs ami bounties millions of dollars woru invented in beet-sugar making in France ami Germany. Soon the home demand was supplied and now the quanitv of sugar produced by these nations is si great that sugar has been permanently cheapened all over the world.

Secretary Manning, in his official report for L^7. in urging that the tariff on sugar be retained. sas: "The price of sugar has fallen to an exceedingly cheap rate," and that our own cane-sugar producers "are under the power of beetMigar competition ami German bounties, which"(beet-sugar competition and German bounties "have already driven our own sugar producers to improved processes, UN'/ /oirert of* mote than the removal of the whole tar iff."

This is, indeed, a strange argument to come from a free-trader who has spent his life in trying to piove that a tariff laid on any article always increases the price of such articles to the consumer.

Hut the fact cannot be denied, that the German and French tariffson sugar have cheapened sugar alt over the world. The free-trade Secretary not only admits it to be true, but urges it as a reason for retaining our own taiiff on sugar. The French ami German tariffs and bounties, he argues, have so reduced the price of suu'ar that sugar making will lie entirely piostrated in this country if the tariff is removed from .-ugar. Did ever a man before *o completely demonstrate the absurdity of his own theory, as Mr. Manning has done here?

And besides making sugar cheap the world over, the French and German tariffs have introduced a new element into agriculture, that of beet-raising on an extensive seale and they have also made a demand for thousands of laborers who before were without profitable employment. Tim German and French tariffs, however, only adds one more to a thousand practical experiences which demonstrate the benelicial effects of protection Mid the absurditv of free trade.

T1IK ThHITF ON WOOL.

Tin* Democratic party as a whole, is in a quandary somewhat like that of the La- old woman who told one of hoi neighbors tho way to tell whether an egg was rot-t'-n was to put it in a pan of water and it would either sink or swim, she didn't know which.

Mi. Cleveland argues that the tariff on wool makes tin* price of wool higher and theieby increases tire eost of the poor man's clothing while a Democratic friend of the President writing to the NYw York

H'orM, from Columbus, Ohio, in reply to Mr. Delano'.-, wool manifest, shows from a quotation of the Boston market reports lor a long series of years, that wool has always been higher under free

wool, than

when there was a tariff on it. The price of wool was very high before 1m»1, went down as soon as a tariff was put on it, went up again wher? the tariff wasiemoved, and down again when it was increased.

The President and this friend of his taken as one man have mr has, come to the conclusion that a tariff on wool either makes wool higher or lower. They arc or ho is) not certain which.

Mi. Cleveland thinks that tin.* poor man ought to oppose the tariff on wool because it makes wool, and consequently woolen clothing, higher and his friend over at. Columbus, thinks the farmers ought to oppose the wool tariff because it makes wool cheaper.

Verily the tariff Ka dangerous weapon in the hands of men who remove the breeeh pin and lire away out of both ends at once.

Is* Pennsylvania tie* new high license law is causing an enormous reduction in the number ol saloons. The necessity of procuring bondsmen wiio will beeom# suretv for the law-abiding conduct of thos.i taking out licenses is in its way a great restrictive intlucneo as the high fee. In order to keep a lhjuor-store in Philadelphia, for example, under the new law, a man must, pay a fee of ^.»iiu in advalice. Then h«' must gi-t two reputable frce|ioidei of the ward in which he wishes to open his saloon, each of whom must own unincumbered real estate worth over $2,000,and must not be engaged in the manufacture of Ihpioj s, to go mi his bond. Next he must have his petition for a license accompanied by the certificate of twelve reputable electors of the

that they have known him for six months, that they indorse his application and that they have signed no other similar petition within a year. Theh bondsmen must be among those indorsees and must take oath to their indorsement. It is not surprising that, in the face ot such requirements in two of the worst wards
