that nolicv: labor riots, battles, blood stained fields came not from the democratic policy on the subject of the tariff They have sprung alone from the doctrine of protection which the senator from Maine here vaunts to the skiee. That doctrine has been misleading ; it has been delusive. You have made the poor people who laid down their Uvea yesterday on the banks of the Minongahela believe that you were protecting them. There never was a greater falsehood worked and woven into the legislation of the coantry. There is no protection for them none whatever and so tbey have found to their dreadful cost. Yeu have said, however, that the Carnegies, the great barons iu the manufacturing interests, must be protected against foreign competition, and at the expense of the hom consumer, in order to enable tbcm to pay high wages to labor. Have they done it J You have given Mr. Carnegie his 55 per cent, on iron end more than 70 per cent, on steel, and instead of stepping lorward in the spirit of the resolution offered by the senator from Maine and paying hie workmen hiuh wages he told them they wonld have to submit to a reduction of rrotn 13 to 40 per cent, irom mis urae on. With protection at its very acme, the very swnith. higher than ever Known before, the McKiuley bill glorifying itself, the wortcingman is met within a few days after the resolution of the senator from Maine was read In thin chamber hv a reduction of wages which haa this hour made bumble homes full of mourning, full of sobs as I speak, andf

I arms and fought the battle out. Instead of any protection for them, however, every sympathy will be extended to what will be misnamed the agents of law and order. The rinkerton men were not the agent a of law and order; tbey were not the aetata of jnatHse: they were net the agents of peace. Thoae people there et Homestead in their little homoe may have been misgnided; but how honest and sincere their conduct looks! They said to the deputy sheriffs and to the sheriff himself : "We have no need of your asiatance to protect this property; not a dollar a worth will be harmed; we will gweRr in our men and give bond to an amount that not one this Is to their credit, and they believing that there was something In the doctrine of protection to labor, were ready to protect property, and also took up arms to protect themselves, and now there is mourning among them, and likewise there is mourning amongst the Pinkerton men. These things have never happened un der a democratic administration ; never under democratic policy. I dare to say so. I could not sit slill and silent this morning while taunted with a resolu tion telling ne, as a member of the finance committee, to inquire into what the effect of a tarlfl for revenue only would he upon labor when such an answer as this comes crying as blood cries from the ground, against the horrible policy which now curses the country. HOW DORS THE TARIFF PROTECT LABOR. A word or two more. I covered thia whole question two veare ago here.

Under the auspices of the senator from New York Mr. Hill a law has been enacted there asking substantially the same provisions which are made by the law of Indiana. Where is there a republican state which takes care of its citizens in that way ? There Is no such law in the noble state of Illinois I might say the republican state of Illinois, though I believe the senator from Illinois (Mr. Palmer) will re sent that, for he thinks it ie not going to ilia rnnun lnan mnv ninvpr. en ee 11 an na him I . aif I .1 T Jt.

Its real meaning is, that men like Carnegie and hie class are so bloated, arrogant, and ple thoric of wealth and of consequence that thev think they can employ a private armv themselves to ride over American citizens and to disposseae end unhouso men, women and children at the behests of their own interests and gains.

J JASPER, AUG. 15-19, 1892. HrigkteniHg the School Koom. "We all know that it malcea a great difference in the mental and physical well-being of teacher and pupils whether they find themselves in an airy, welllighted school room, with neat furniture, good blackboards, maps and charts. some picturoe aad other ornimenu; or whether their room ia cramped, dark aad dingy, witb battered desks, seats and blackboards, and other acoeeaoriee eonspicuoua by their absence. However, scaool-roome, good and bad, have one point of resemblance: there is a bet and a worst to be made of them. If teacher and pupils drift along day by day, with no particular interest in their surroundings, and with no regard to possibilities of improvement, the shabby things will only grow shabbier aad uglier, and the bright spots, if any, will sink into permanent eclipse. If, on the other hand, the occupants of the room set to work to make it better, little by little, it ia astonishing how fast tbe email improvrmenta add up into a pleasing result. Perhaps you can begin by rubbing up the furniture a little, the blackboards ? That is a problem, but at least you can have a cloth to duat them. You will breathe leas pulverised chalk by doing this. Another suggestion in tbe neetneee and order line, is to have a dast-pen aad brush at hand. Let the restleee boy work off some of hie auperfluooe energy in ''tidying up." Do not call upon him atwaye, however ; tbe quiet lad over in the corner would like to eorve you, and would also like aa opportunity of moving about.

A good deal can be done In skilfully diepoeing and combining. Mape torn another obstacle, but if tbey are dilapidated they can be made more presentable, ae well as more useful, by mondleg. Very good eotor ebarte.een be made from educational colored papers, by catting out equeree ol the etaadard colore, shades and tiate. and arranging them in regular order.

What we see, what we bear, and what we read, theee are tbe foun tains of (bought. An we think so we are. aet bodily purity ie an eeseatiei to mental dignity and spiritual holiness: for "Know ye not that yn are tbe tempm of God; and tbat the Spirit of God dwelletb in you ?" A pure child hood in the foundation of pure manhood and womanhood. The body, the mind, and the soul, thoee three form a monument whose base ia upon earth, waofo apex ie in heaven. There ia the reason for do stroying thrones of iniquity and for suppressing the distribution of whatsoever things that detain ua from paesing under the triumphal arch of purity. From state and national government. each of which should be a tower of strength, tbe temperance cause reeeivee but smell support. Orer one hundred vears ago Benjamin Hush son ad ad tbe key-note of America's political deetinv, when , in speaking of tbe growing drink habit, he Slid, "Should the customs of civilised life preserve our nation from extinction, they can not prevent our country from being govorned by men choen from intemperate or corrupt voter it " When we are forced to raeogaico the Influence of the American saloon over tbe American ballot-box at the end of the nineteenth century we real rate 'that the prediction of the eighteenth century philosopher has "come to pase." When we see it tbe controlling element iu tbe election of officer to 111 tbe highest positions in onr government, we oaa not wonder at the weak new of omeieie when it cornea to the enforcing of la we for ita destruction. Fig are not gathered from thistle. A government can be no better nor etrnnger than, tbe people who make V. To day public sentiment declare that tne saloon is not aa' evidence of our high degree of civilisation ; it ie not neceeoary to onr further adveaeo I; it is not coneietent with onr idea of religion. Voters and leg ieleAof atnet lend n helping band toward Its removal, then we'll be iu truth, aa wellae in eong, Coiembie. 'the lend of taw free and thn of thn brave." Tbe protection of land ibe vtrtne and meaheei of onr peo ple, demand each action. Bs cense thn saloon is here, ie no rsaeen it n main. Slaverr was her, but were uplifted agalnet Has amoral wrong and tbe chain of bondage waa broken. The combined forces of onr noblest institution at aad in battle array ogeieet tbe iniquitiea of the saloon, and lew must be the aword. To-day more iegkviauon ia employed in favor of tne than againet it. It ie ieet as eaey muck more manly to fgbt for right and not for wrong. It ie forever wrong to make eompromie wKh sin. License sews that legalise wrong and make thn saloon just na respectable a any other place nf merehandien are tne vileet or com promise measures. The national licence system tars to the eeleea-keepers, Pay stxty-twe million of dollars into Ian U. 8. treasury, for our yearly revenue. and yon may keep the remaining ebjrhtbnndred and thirty-eight million, which you have received from tbe people, en your ehare nf tbe prom from inn tretae, which bee brought poverty, w reached - and sorrow wherever carried on." A tax of one cent upon each men. wom an, and child tn the U. S. would put as much money into the nnoenal treaeunr a it receive from tbe revenue eyelem. The government gets tbe interest on the $900,000,000 spent annually for drink, at the rate ol 7 percent ; tbe saloon-keeper and brewers hold tbe principal ; the re spectable people have tbe drunkards and murderers end maniac; the drinkers have nothing in thie world, and not too shadow of a hope for tbe next, for Cnriet plainly warned ne two thousand yearn ago that "Ho drunkard eball inherit tbe kingdom of God." Higher lew lleeoee make little, er no difference in Ibe enppreseioo of the evile of thn ia fern one trafffe. Low license allows tbe poor sunn the seme ebanee ae the rieh and ie there fore tbe more just measure. High li cense diminishes tbe number of aaloene but does not decrease she amount nf Irunkenness. Millionaire brewers de clare that high lieeuee ie the most favor able saloon law that can he enacted. The) people of former time saw that seme thing must be done to sup ores the evile of the traffic and enacted license haws an a means of reculatiou. It aeemi best thing they could do. But u supposed to know more than onr tors, and if we deem another more effective, it ie our duty to it. Tbe plea that we cannot with the revenue eeeruieg from trade is growing weaker every day.
