EDITORIAL XOTES. A Composition Translated. A eonfitry school t>oy whose father pays a good sized tax would write a composition on the attitude o£, the cotirt-honse ring toward that painting job about as follow : “It was conceived as Coup de main, and was completed with Coup de mnilre. To the job the people gave Coup <foel, and immediately commenced Coup de pied, which put the whole ring in Crepe-cor. ur and led I hem to resort to Crimen falsi Cvrranto calamo and to show Data de accepta with Deyout, If they ’get there ’again, it will be De haute lute. It is 'bought that, as each vote cast in the next election will be En* rationis as sure as I)e yustibus non est dxsjmlandun, the ‘ring, is repvllns. To Save the “ring” the truble we dpcipper it as follows: “It was conceived as a sudden enterprise, and was completed with a finishing stroke. To tlie job the people gave a rapid fiance of Die eye, and commenced a ick which put the whole ring in deep sorrow and led ihem to falsehood with a rapid pen, ahd to show receipts and expenditures with disgust. If they get there again, it will be by a violent struggle. It is thought that, as each vote cast in the next election will be a creature of reason as sure as disputing is not a matter of taste, tiie ring is hurried.” That Presbytery Discussion. ,, There weic probably few intelii- .! gent children brought up under the Galvmistic teachings of a generation ago thaj did not at some time present to their parents an argument running in this wise: “As the elect are certain to be saved, and as those not of the elect are certain to be damned, and as I can not find out-whether I am one of the elect until I die, what earthly use is there in bothering about tlie business at present ?”

The logic of this proposition -was more conclusive upon the youthful mind than a demonstration in Euclid, and was not altogether overthrown by the spanking which resulted from its rash presentment. Even some of those whose intellects have broadened and sharpened through long reading and strife with the world, are still within the grasp of its grim reasoning. Dr. Van Dyke, the I Am of the Presbyterian chorch, in the recent Presbyterian discussions on the subject of reprobation said: *T know not what others may do, but, as for me, I intend to keep on disbelieving, ignoring aud denying the doctrine of reprobation. I intend to teach that there are no infants in hell, no limits to Goaf's love; that there is salvation open to all manki nd, aud that no man is punished buf tor his own sin. Is that Calvinism ? Before God, I don't kuow of care I It is Christianity!” This i«, indeed, a departure. It wholly overthrows that famous passage from the American Tract Primer, the hand-book of onr faith: • f 'In Adam’s fall, Wesin-ned alt; Iq Cain’s murder, WoBln-ned further.” has a tendency, also, tq upset that mysterious doctrine of justification by faith, and to make good woiks some small factor in the scheme of future salvation. ' All this would have been terribly heterodox a generation ago; but people seem to listen to it with a sort of yearning nowadays. The world has broadened, and men’s views have broadened with It/ these discussions in ytet-ies of the land

Speaker Reed’s Heroin tie a.

Recil wa9 elected because lie is known to be a dishonest revolutionist. Ah easily recognized writer endorsed Reed and revolution in the Press of last week. That Mm ; person endorsed the steading of the.Presidency, the ‘•blocks ot fives” methods and every ottfl' outrage by liis patty since it canie into existance. If he would entlorsc the good and condemn the bad of his party, there might bo some chance for btm to get the people to swallow the delusive argument he puts up in endorsing Reed’s revolu-tionary-practices in tlie I>ower House. But the Republican congressmen have said that so many Idemocrats shall be unseated aiid as many Republicans be put in their piade. That is the cause of all this ttvaddle of the Press amanuensis. The unbroken rulings of a hundred years—from the first Congress—are against the position assumed by Reed. In February, 1875,a vote in the House on the Force hill stood; Yeas 142, nays none, not voting 135. Thus there was less than a quorum by the roll call, though by the eyesight— which Mr. Reed lias erected into a supreme parliamentary force—there was more than a quorum present. Bi n Butler said: I call upon the Speaker to declare the presence of a quorum i if he believes there is a quorum in the hall. James G. Blaine was Speaker, lie replied : The Chair can not declare a quorum against a yea and nay vote. When the roll call is resorted to, that is the last mode of certification, from which there is no appeal. Butler insisted. Blaine rejoinedt ••The gentleman sees the utter absurdity, if he will excuse the expression, of the Chair pntting an opinion iu against a record on the roll-call. He only knows there are 142 present/’ General John Coburn then represented the Indianapolis district in Congress. lie came to Butler’s retpitp' Mr. Blaine alter replying to him that the principle had been the foundation of the greatest Legislative frauds ever committed, said: •‘There ean be no record like the call of the yeas and nays; and from that there is no appeal. The moment von clothe yOur Speaker with power to go behind your rollcall and assume that there is a quorum in the ball, why, gentlemen, you stand on the very brink of a vek dno.” Ten years ago the same question came up again. James A. Garfield in speaking of lit, said : The Chairman of the Committee of the Whole or the Speaker of the House is to see with his own eyes that there is a quorum present. Who is to control his seeing? How do we know hut that he may see forty members more for his own purposes than there are here in the House? And wbat prelection have gentlemen if the Speaker says he sees a quorum if he can convert that seeing into a list of names on the call of the roll by the clerk? I think my friend from Virginia will see that he lets in the one-man power in a far more dangerous way than ever has oceured before in any Legislative Assembly of which he and 1 have anr knowledge. In the same discussion, on January 28,1880, Thomas B. Reetl, the present Speaker, said:: >Ir. Chairman, if it was my purpose to reply to the gentleman who has just taken his seat, it seems to me that it would be a : suitable and proper reply to Say to him that constitutional idea of a quorum is not the presence of a majority of the members ol ! the House, but a majority of the members present and purlicpaiiug in the business ol the House. It is not tho visible presence ol members, but their judgements and their votes, that the constitution calls for. * * * * *»»* What is the practical upshot of the present practice? It is that the members ot the minority of this House upon greaL occasions demand that every bill which is passed shall receive the absolute vote of the majority of the members elected. They do this in the lace and eyes of the country. If they demand upon any frivolos^occaslon that there shall be such an extraordinary vote as that, they do it subject to the censure of the people of this land. » . * * * • »»** It is a valuable privilege for the country that the minority shall hare the right by this extraordinary mode ot proceeding to call the attention of the country to measures which a (tarty in a moment of madness and of party feeling is endeavoring to enforce upon the citizens of this land. And it works equally well with regard to all parties for there are times when they need lb be checked, so that they may receive the opinions of the people who are their constituents and who are interested in the results of their legislation. 1 say that as a practical ■natter the results hitherto throughout all our history have justified the construction which those upou this side of the House have put upon the matter, and which has been equally by members of the other side in times past. It is beyond dispute, then, that the practice of Congress has always been against Mr. Reed’s position. That is a tact not disputed ; and there is the greatest wisdom, a»d the very germ of free par liamentary government em- ; bodied in the reasons that have leached this conclusion. But though it has been the conclusion it need not be. The (Joustitu- ! lion gives the Hous»-of Representatives power “to determine the rules of its procedure.” Beyond question it has the right to say that the rule be that the Sjpcaker shall use his eyesight, and if thereby lie sees that there is a quorum present when the roll call sbowB that there is not, he shall count a sufficient number to make a quorum. But it teas not done so. Partisans should not lose sight of t his fact. Tho House had not ordered Mr. Reed to do this. He was doing it without authority.

R epu u Lie as s a re ad d resseii ng t hem - selves to putting out Democrats and putting in Republicans. Ot course they hive the majority and will do it. The high taxes can take care of the millionaire and the millionaires will take care of the Republican parly. It is pretty certain that Hon. Frank 3.

War Ob The Farmer. The New York World recently coni mined from the pen of one T. E. . Wilson an'article which'we think : worth publishing. It is as follows: If you will take five minutes to read, and twenty-five minutes to think over three facts, you wilf never regret the use of the half hour. 1. The increase iu the value of our farms during the *en years of low tariff, 1850 to 1860, was $3,373,469,586, or 10t^ per cent, yearly. For the 20 years of a high tariff, 1960 to 1880, it was $3,374,449,181, or 2% per cent, yearly. 2. The average value of your improved laud was $11 per acre iu 1850 and $16 in 1860, an increase in the 10 low tariff yeats of $5, or 45 per cent, in the decade: Its value was $19 per acre in 1880, an .increase of $3 in 20 high tariff years, an increase of 9 per | cent, each decade. Under a low tariff the annual increase in value per acre was 50 cents. Under a high tariff it has been only 15 cents yearly. The censns next year will show no in crease, but an.actual decline. 3. During the ten years between 1850 and 1860onr agricultural exports increased 550 per cent., au average of 25 per cent, yearly. In the past 28 years our agricultural exports have increased 95 per cent., or an. average of 3 per cent, yearly.

, Su>cc the last census was takeB our agricultural exports have declined from $730,394,943 in 1831 to #500,840,086 ill 1888, as follows: Year Farm Products. ISIS.. .:. *630,192,873 1879 .i_.. W6,476,793 1880 . 685.971,961 1881 . 730,391,913 1882 . 352.219,819 1883 .619,269,449 1884 . 536,316,318 1885 . 530,172,966 1886 . 484.954,595 18&7 . ,-523,073.796 1888 . 560,840,086 Our exports increased steadily, though slowly, without a break, until 1882. The increase in the tariff since 1881, caused by specific duties on declining values, by doubling and trebling the duty levied in many cases, lias driven down our exports below the figures for ten years ago. Your most profitable market is abroad and will be abroad so long as yoo can buy more manufacturers for a bushel of corn in Liverpool than for a bushel of corn in New York. That will be so long as the purchasing power of gold is greater abroad than it is here. To keep you from exporting and selling your whole product abroad, where gold has double and treble the purchasing value it lias here, the American must pay you enongh for it to keep it here—or tax your foreign payment so heavily you cannot send it away. This is done. Y'our foreign market gives you the only control yen can have of prices here by providing two customers, competing against each other'fer your products, making prices high. Once confined lo the ‘‘home market your own competition with one another will destroy you. There were 2,596,093 more on farms in 1881 than were required to supply the “home market.” If you ‘sell 2000 bushels of corn in New York lor #100 you can buy with it in New York 1.100 pounds of sugar or 100 yards of silk. It an Englishman sells manufactured goods in,New York for #100 he can invest it here in, 1,100 pounds ot sugar or 100 yards of silk, or he eau take home either #100 worth ot our agricultnfal products or #100 in gold, and with either one buy in Liverpool deubie what he could buy in New York with cither—2,200 pounds ot sugar or 200 yards ot s»lk. He sells here for. our gold or our agricultural products because eitfier one has twice the value in LiverpooQhat it has here. He cannot sell here and invest in any of our products except those of agriculture, because when he gels them home they will have lost half their value. They are worth only what he could have got for his manufactures in Liverpool without the expense of the trade. "He—must sell here for gold or agricultural products to invest at home, or not sell at all.

Willi yon it is tlie reverse. It you sell abroad aud.invest your payment in foreign products, you can get 2,200 pounds of sugar or 200 yards of silk; but if you bring your gold home you cau get only half as touch. Your •told when brought home will buy no more sugar or silk in New York than your corn d|guld have bought without the expense of the trade. You must sell abroadafor foreign products —or not sell at all. To destroy your foreign market, to limit your sales to this market alone, a tax rar.giug from 25 to 300 per cent, has been levied upon the foreign products you wish to take in payment for what you sell abroad. When you bring them here enough of each one is confiscated at the custom-houses to make the remainder of it less in amount than you could have bought herein New York jpth your graiu without the expense of shipping it abroad, and less than you could buy here yitb the fotelgn gold if you had | brought it back. You are engaged in supplying the people of the United States not only with what ,they eat, but with what I hey wear, When you sell your surplus abroad, aud invest the foreign gold you receive for it in the products of European pauper labor, bringing the latter home, you make a large profit in disposing of these “products of pauper labor” to your countrymeu. You can undersell any one iu business here. Your competitors in this business are the owners of 14,500 American mills. They ask for and receive protection from you. They have no other competitor except yon, and nothing euters into competition with what they produce in their mills ex

ccpt what you receive in payment for your farm products sold abroad. The only competition that can exist is between oar American farms and our American mills. No other competition is possible, because no American can obtain anything to eat, wear or use except by his labor on a farm or in a mill or by professional or personal service. • The 14,500 organized and United mill-owners declared open war on you thirteen years ago. They have almost paralyzed your industry and they have deprived you of nearly all your profits. Flushed with this success, they now declare that your competition wifh them must be. entirely stopped; that jvnr business must be strictly confined to feeding the people of the United States and your sales limited to “American markets.” Mr. McKinley says your “taxation and restraint is the dictate of enlightened patriotism,” and it is proposed to still further add to the “taxation and restraint” now imposed upon you by compelling you either to sell abroad for gold and bring it back to this country, which you can do only at a loss, or to force von out of farming. They give you your choice—and it is Hobson’s. fP

This is your business, in which no one else has a right to interfere. It has been by your votes that the millowners have been protected from your competition. You have howled even louder than they have in favor of the taxation now levied upon your payment for what you sell abroad. If tbc value of your land has not increased 45 per cent, in the last ten years, it has been because yon wonld not permit its cultivation to be profitable. If the price of your product has declined, it has been by your own act making it impossible for you to sell it abroad at a greater profit. If there is a mortgage on yonr roof, it represents the money that you deliberately destroyed or refused to take. If you?clesire your land to decrease In value, yonr crops to decline in price, your mortgage to be foreclosed and your days to eud in the poorhouse or on ihe highways, there is nothing more to be said. No one is your keeper, and only a fooi would try to persuade you to act differently, Biff, if this Is not your desire, if yon are willing to admit that it is possible yon may have been deceived by the mill-owner—organized into separate associations or Trusts and all banded together in a protective tariff leaugue —if yon are willing to think for yourself, act for yourself and decide foi yourself, thou there is much more It be said. Will yon not take up this subject 01 Protection and study it during thi long Winter evenings? Will you hoi discuss h with vour friends, and seek to educate\hcm and yourself? Wil you not force it upon the attention o your agricultural societies and fellow members? Will you not orgauizi tariff clubs whose object is to get a the truth without reference to when truth may lead—whether to protec lion or tarilf reform ? Above all ant beyond all will you i-ot force th< editors of your home pasters—Repub lican and Democratic alike—tc answer fairly and honestly each poin made on either side with facts ant sense—not with appeals to passiou 01 the waving ol British flags. The war is upon you. Your silua tion is critical. Even if you come t< a clear understanding of Ihe danger menacing you, it is by no means certain that you have time to save your selves from your impending ruin But if rain Is to come,%ill you no prefer to perish like men, with youi eves open to its causes and the man ner in which you have brought i upon yourselves, than blindfolded never kuowing what hurl you ? The editor of the Democrat ha; been asked a good many question! about Washington township sinci trustee Smith's report appeared. Onli a few of them are answered in thi following: 1. The-amount he wii have on hands in June will be 19346, 84. 2. Tike Township and Peters burg are separated corporations, i man in Petersburg pays nothing U the township, and a township mat pays nothing to the corporation. 3 We cannot tell you where the monci on hands is. It may be in the haul or loaned to his friends. Yon wil hare to ask the Trustee about that. 4 The amount the trustee received foi service was $593. 5. The value ol taxable property outside of Petersburg is $623,325. 6. The amount of towi% ship tax he will get in June ought t« be $934,93. Add to this $2458.83, the amount be has on hands and you will have $3493.31. 7. The amount ol the township tax shows the possible size of his yearly salary. 8- Beside* the trustee's salary there is but little use for the township fund which will soon be $3493 81 less the amount he may pay out prior to June next. 9. The other questions you must put tc ifr. Smith. They do not concern the public and are a little personal.

“Common rumor is a common Itir,” is a favorite phrase with F. B. Posey. Keceutly that phrase has been prominent in the heavy editorials of the Petersburg Press. Be sure, before you take a copy of tiie Democrat for a bustle, that there is no back duo o»Jt. See that the subscription is paid, and then the payer may be used without liability of taking coid. The court house ring need not blame the men who did the work on the court house. They are not the men to be tampered with In that way. If the ring will publish their names a few more times and tell them again that they were men who would not pay their taxes there may be aroused ini these laborers a sentiment which will be mi wholesome.
