Iam not unmtndfulof the fact that, during my entire perries chief executive of the state, awr official relations with the democrats of Tiunmany hall were of the most pleasant character, and I cheerfully and gratefully acknowledge the fact that they were among my staunchest supporters during all that period from the memorable campaign of IKS to the last occasion, when the democracy of the empire state honored me with their confidence at Albany and Chicago. ® “To-day the great tt-HahcS of intelligent political observers for the success of our national^ Candidates in this state is upon the immense majority which is expected to he relied up in this city under the auspices 6i the magnificent organization of Thhainany hall, which m recent year* has known no such word as defeat, and to Which all eyes are now turned and upon which our hopes arc centered. It is clear that the way to win national elections is first to win local and state elections. In politics, as in everything else, nothing succeeds like success. “Those who, because of personal disappointments or because candidates of their particular choice have not been nominated, would encourage the temporary defeat of their party, usually live to regret their action and to reaiiie how difficult it is for that party to regain the ground that has been unwisely and foolishly lost. “I w ould endeavor by every honorable means tobuild up the democratic party and make it invincible in the city, state and nation. I would not build up a personal party, but the democratic party. I would seek victory not for a day but tor a decade.

wunwy. “The Issue between the two parties upon the tariff question was never more sharply defined than in the present campaign. No one ought to be deceived as to the attitude which they respectively assume. Both believe in a tariff sufficient to raise the principal revenues necessary for the support of the government. The •democratic party there stops and declares that tto other or larger tariff should be imposed than may he required for such purpose, while the republican party gees further and insists that it is the right and duty of the government to imposo such higher duties as may bo deemed necessary to prevent competition with domestic industries even to the extent, if desired, of absolute prohibition of importations. Our opponents call the methods or means by which they use the power of taxation for private purposes the system of protection. We meet them at the threshold of the discussion of this question and declare that their system of protection violates the spirit, if not the letter, of the federal constitution. “The tact that there is nowhere to be found In the constitution any express provision giving congress power to protect private industries by taxation at the expense of the whole people cannot he lightly dismissed, in my opinion its omission is a mattor of the greatest significance. In the convention of 1TOT, which framed the federal constitution, n proposition was made to confer upon congress the power to protect manufacturers by commercial regulations and it was rejected. This is important evidence from which it may he fairly urged that it was not the intention of the framers of the constitution that congress should he vested with the power to aid private industries at tbeexDense of the people. “It should not be forgotten that there had been a formidable opposition to the adoption of the original constitution and that a majority of the states, in concurring, added to their ratification a series oft amendment intended to oiroumsenbe tne power greeted to the federal government and designed I.S safeguards against tne dangers apprehended from the powers granted in the original constitution which were regarded as too extensive or not safely defined. The amendments in question was one of the most important of these, and of all the amendments, taken together, constitute the most valuable portion of the constitution. “It is true that tariff bills—called and designed as ‘protective’ measures—have since been passed at various periods of our history, but in tmne of-them have their authors dared to - insert wty preamble, provision or statement from which it might appear that protection was the sole object and direct purpose of them. There has always been a studied. effort by our opponents to avoid the precise question at issue. There can be little doubt that a protective measure, pure and simple, could not stand the test of judicial review oven with the supreme court of the United States as at present constituted. The democratic party believes and always has believed that 'republican protection,’ as it is expounded by its advocates and exemplified in the details of its measures (although artfully conoealed from their face), to be in violation of the spirit, it not the letter, of the constitution as it now stands. "We have nothing to conceal, nothing to disguise, nothing to retract We do not believe that the true theory of our government ever contemplated that it should be a paternal government having the power to build up one man’s business at the expense of another. We believe that the constitution, especially since the amendments of 1791, designed that the power of taxation should only be exercised for the purpose expressly specified therein, and for no other. The first tariff hill ever introduced into congress was by Mr. Madison and it was ‘for revenue only’ and contained no commercial regulations for protection Mr Madison only sought, and sought under the taxing clause, to bring such a sum of money into the treasury as the wants of the government re-, quired, but when Pennsylvania and a majority of the house wished to obtain that maney by adding arrangements of detail under tho commercial clause—discriminations of high and low duties, prohibition hero and free trade there, he acquiesced.

JL. UC UdUHAiaUV tVUiCUUVU 19 lUHt ■ voo, under the expressed power to levy and collect taxes, etc., is only empowered to obtain and appropriate money, but not to exclude imports in order to prevent the obtaining of revenue What congress may do under tl-t taxing power is entirely distinct from what it may under the powers to regulate commerce with torelg a nations. “During the present campaign nut opponents in their recklessness have even ventured to claim that -Old Hickory' himself, Sen. Andrew Jackson, once forced tne policy of protection. If he ever did so it must have been lu the early stages of the country's history, when protection was only sought as a temporary expedient. Certaitly his later public utterances were all upon the other side. He sold in his farewell address to his countrymen: A tariff oi high duties, designed tor perpetual protection, has entered into the minds or but few of our statesmen. The most they have anticipated is a temporary and general incidental protection. Rely upon it, the design to collect an extravagant revenue and to burden you with taxes beyond the economical wants of the government is not yet abandoned. The various incidents which have combined together to impose a heavy tariff and to produce an overflowing treasury are too strong and have too much at stake to surrender the contest. The corporations and wealthy individuals who are engaged in large manufacturing establishments desire a high tariff to increase their gains. Designing politicians will support it to conciliate their favor and to obtain the means of profuse expenditure.’ “To oppose this conspiracy of selfish and partisan interests, no longer imagined, but a menacing reality, is the special mission of the democratic party of to-day. The position of the democratic party on the tariff question is so plain and simple that every schoolboy understands iv The democratic pirty proposes revision of import duties. It docs not propose the destruction of the tariff, hut It proposes simply s modification of it. “We have not advocated and do not advocate free trade, because the government needs revenues tor its support The cry of ‘free trade’ raised against us by our adversaries is a false, misleading and irrelevant one, but it will deceive no intelligent man. 'We demand the reduction or abolition of duties upon the necessaries of life: we favor free raw materials used in the manufactures, wider markets for our productions and the imposition of the lowest taxes consistent with the needs of government “We denounce republican protection as a fraud-os a robbery of a great majority of tbe American people for the benefit of a few—is the vigorous but truthful language of the democratic national platform. It will bo observed that It is a republican protection that Is thus denouscsd—not the mUd protection of our early history to ml Infant Industries when the excuse for It was more defensible. The republloen protection of to-day is not even the protection of yesterday. It becomes worse and worse and more Intolerable as-drears rollon. It is a progressive evil All pretense that It inn temporary policy designed only for -exigencies seems sew to be abandoned.

• v/ *»!••• “What Shan I say of the democratic candidates, Cleveland and Stevenson f They both aM tho Jeffersonian standard ot fitness: both have been satisfactorily tested in the public servloe, ahd both represent the cherished principles of our party in this campaign and are entitled to your suffrages. Ex-President Cleveland needs no eulogy at my hands. His life and publio servioe are familiar to the people. His admin-istration-dignified. honest andable-hassafely withstood the ponular criticism, has passed into history and reflected credit upon the country. His reelection will not only be a public triumph, but it will also be the vindication ot our principles and the triumph of the democratic party. “The most important issue involved in this •lection Is that presorted by the proposed republican federal election but otherwise known as the ‘Davenport force bill.’ If republican saceess should ensue as the result of the pending election that measure would become a reality, with all its dire and unfortunate consequences. No prediction can be safely made as to the extent to which federal supervision over our state elections may be invoked, if any extension shall now be permitted. Our opponents do not discuss very much this issue, tut seek to evudeand ignore it Notwithstanding the cautious utter ances of itr. Harrison and the reticence of the generality of the republican orators, the republican party cannot escape in this campaign tho responsibility of this measure and the consequences which its advocaey necessarily entails. “This issue alone necessarily makes tno south solid for the democratic party. They are naturally opposed to such a law. Its enactment would be a blow aimed directly at them and iheir homes; at their cherished rights; at their cherished principles; at their peace and security. The south will not only be solid against the lore© bill, it will be solid against unreasonable tariff burdens, against federal encroachments of every character, against an unnecessarily restricted qprrency for the benefit of the rich: solid against monopoly plutocracy and republicanism. It will be solid in favor of good government, free and honest elections, home rule, tariff reform, honest money, wider markets, freer commerce, personal liberty and democratic government. “1 beliove that a large majority of the electors ot this country are in favor of tho principles of the democratic party. If the contest is to be decided by New York, as now seems likely, let it be an overwhelming triumph. Tno Empire state expects every democrat to do his duty. The cause is worthy of the support of every patriot who loves his country and desires to see its free institutions perpetuated and maintained. The reforms which we demand are necessary for the safety and prosperity of the repuhlic. We readopt the expressive language of the national dengacratio platform of 187#, under which Samuel J. Tildon was elected tor the presidency. Reform can only be had by a peaceful clvio revolution. We demand a cnango ot system, a ihangoof administration, a change of parties, that we may have a change of measures and of men." TRUE TARIFF REFORM.

Got. Holm 'Outlines the Position oT the Democracy. When Thomas G. Shearman, the noted tariff reform advocate of New York, was in Iowa last week making speeches to the farmers of the state Gov. Boies was in Missouri and Chicago, consequently they did not have a chance to meet and exchange views. Mr. Shearman, therefore, addressed a letter to Gov. Boies, in which he dwelt at some length upon the protective tariff as it affects the western farmer. To this letter the governor made the following interesting reply: "Css Moines, la., Oct. 81.—My Dear Sir: Your letter of themhinst. has greatly interested me, and confirms by Its statistics even more strongly than I had expected the opinion which I had formed without a close study of details. “The simple fact that the exports of American farm products increased fifty per cent, within one year after the adoption of the revenue tariff of ISM. that they doubled within oight years and trebled within fourteen years (ail this being a rate of increase which has never been equaled before or since) is conclusive proof of the immense advantage whieb is conferred by n purely revenue tariff upon the American farmer. "Our protcotionist friends constantly declare that they care only for facts and not for theory. If we met them on the simple ground of facts, the proof that revenuo tariffs bring prosperity to the American farmers beyond any others would be conclusive. But 1 am glad that you have called attention to the reason for the faot, as well as to tho fact Itself. It is perfectly clear that Europe cannot possibly buy our farm products UMess European goods are accepted, either by us or by other people to whom we arc indebted, in payment for these products. Every obstacle which is thrown in the way of the importation of foreign merchandise deprives our farmers of so much custom for their wheat, com and cotton. Foreigners will not and cannot send ns their products without receiving payment in our products, and more than threefourths of our payments for imported goods are made in things which are raised by the tanners of the west and south. Every 1100,000,000 worth of foreign goods which is shut out by a protective tariff means 0100,000)000 of cash customers lost to Ameriean producers. “The increase of exports of American farm products whioh has taken place during the last year is proof of this fact It is due to an increase of importations which has taken place in spite of all the efforts of protectionists to keep them out This increase of imports has been only in articles which they were compelled to let in free of duty in order to retain high taxes upon goods competing with tho protections of favored manufacturers. Free sugar and free hides, which the republican platform of 1888 did not favor—preferring free whisky and tobacco— but w-hieh were forced upon reluctant party managers by outside pressure, have come in in greatly increased quantities and are paid for by American farm products. I cm glad that we hare free raw sugar, and I hope that we shall keep it free. ^aut scarcely any of our farm produets are taken by tho countries producing sugar, hides, teh and coffee. We pay for these goods by sendifigout wheat, oorn and cotton to Europe; and Europe sends its manufactures to Cuba, Brasil, China and Japan to pay our debts But the people of Europe are still hungry for more of our grain and still only half clothed with our cotton. Why should we not take more of their manufactures and pay for them in increased exports of. wheat, corn. beef, pork and cotton! "The repeal of the protective tariff* would uxaay, even more than it did in 1848, open to our farmers an enormous markat, which would purchase all that they could possibly furnish. I do not think that you at all overestimate the amount which would be purchaser', from our farmers if we once got rid of our high protective tariff. Importations would largely increase, and they coght to increase. There is no overproduction in anything. There are not now in this favored country nearly enough coots or dresses, or hats, or shoes The American farmer Is entitled to as many coats tats shoes and other comforts of life as the American manufacturer. The farmer's wife has as goods right to a good wool dress, a pretty hat, a suit of allw»'l clothing, a pair of handsome, warm gloves, and of good shoes, and to as many of these as ha* the wife of any manufacturer. But them are many of our farmers and farmers’ wives m this o- entry who hare almost none of these 1 will go further and say that I see no why s farmer’s wits and daughters __not indulge in the luxuries of life, and I repel with indignation the arrogance of proteo* tlonists which treats these things as nccossary for the manufacturer's wife and daughters, hut as sinful ex iravaganeoa for the termer1* 'Tuft these things some in 'floods' If they will, and let the farmer's family get their share of "HK'lfc

We must, and I believe that we soon will, in tola manner secure a foreign market for twice as much as we now sell and thus brings degree of prosperity to the American farmer such as fas has never yet known. “It is my Judgement that, by opening foreign markets to our farm products, the abolition o! the protective tariff would how, to it did iu UMt, cause a permaneht advance of hot less than 10 cents on every bushel Of Wheat; l» cents bn oVefy bushel of cprn, and S or S cents on every pound of eotton which could possibly be grown in this country. “And it is my further Judgment that this prosperity of the farmer would not only do no Injury whatever to the mechanics and the artisans in the so-called protected industries, but, on the contrary, that it would result iu an increase of wages and that it would sot the wheels of Indus try in motion through overy part of the land Beyond this It would at once stimulate our carrying trade and restore us to our rightful position as one of the chief commercial nations ol the world, for the prosperity of the farmer lies at the basis of all our national industries; tod when the farmer is prosperous everybody prospers with him. Very truly yours, “Boiucs Bolto." TO Thomas Q. Shearman.

The Old Cry of Rogues. The thinnest political canard thus far reported is the republican statement that the democrats are colonizing negroes in New York city for the purpose of voting the democratic ticket. This lie is got up solely to draw attention from the colonization scheme of Dave Martin, the Pennsylvania repeater and all-round scalawag, who was sent to New York to aid iu stealing that state for the republicans but fortunately was detected by the democrats. Martin's successful efforts in republican repeating in Philadelphia and keeping out of the penitentiary commended him so highly to the national republican committee that he was sent to New York, where he is now industriously laboring in the interests of Miy Harrison. The republicans are crying “Stop thief!” to cover their own thieving.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. _ Irish Response to Blaine's Blarney.

Paid Legislation. It is announced with every appear ance of truth that the republican managers are raising a campaign fund of two million dollars from the beneficiaries of the tariff for “the protection of American labor.” It is incidentally stated that rough, of this sum will be “spent in New York.” What does this mean but a wholesale system of corruption? Legislation is sold to the trusts and protected manufacturers in return for money to be used in debauching elections and corrupting voters. The political evils of our infamous tariff system are even worse than the economic evils it produces. it makes Merchandise of legislation and a mercenary cloak of patriotism, and debases every form of political action. —Fresno (Cal.) Expositor. Let the republican organs now seeking to avoid discussion of the tariff question address themselves to a fair examination of the plank in the democratic platform upon which they have based a last despairing hope of winning popular favor. Do they believe the federal government has a right to pass a law prohibiting the issue of notes by state banks? If they admit this position, which is fairly yielded in >.r. Harrison’s letter of acceptance, w'll they contend that congress has a light to do by indirection what it is prohibited to do directly? Upon this issue democrats are willing to continue the discussion. There is too little weight in» republican prophecies to merit further attention. — Chicago Times.

Mr. Harrison, In his letter cf acecpt»noe, reiterates the exploded arguments of his party in defense of the tin plate industry, so called, which has been born fithtaf the midwifery of his administration Nd Me feftdWi better than Mr. Harrijtbri this titter Hollowness bf the tin plate pretense dp to date, and it seems incredible that he should so far presume upon the ignorance of the people as to bring forward the antiquated subterfuge of reasoning so often exploded in defense of the infant, “Ond Or UAriee,*’ says Mr. Harr* soft, “in odr history the production of tin plates had beta attempted, add the Price Obtained by the Welsh makers would bate enabled onr makers t<l produce it at a profit. But the Welsh makers at (Mice cut prices to a point that drove the American beginners out of business, and when this was accomplished again made their own prices." Mr. Harrison is inexcusable in thus revamping this logic af Cronemeyer nftet it had been so thoroughly disproved in Congressional debates and had dome to be sO thoroughly discredited by the people. The history of the price of imported tin plates for the past twenty-five years has been ganged strictly by the world’s market priee’of iron an t pig tin, wh'ch ingredients constitute the entiro bulk of tin plates and 90 per cent of their east. Market reports show that in 1873 pig tin was quoted at £139 per ton. They dropped to £53 in 1878. Philadelphia pig iron in 1873 was 833 per ton, and dropped to #10.50 per ton in 1873. The corresponding prices of tin plates were 36s per box in 1873 and 13s l>£d in 1878, a less percentage decline than noted in the case of either iron or pig tin. Yet this is the very period when, as the parties of high bounties assert, the Welsh makers put down the price of their plates in order to run American makers ont^ In a business sense the Welsh manufacturers were making better profits in selling at 13s 1X<1 in 1878 than they were in selling for 36s in 1873 owing to the difference In the price of raw material. In 1880 there was an advance in the price of plates for the very reason of the enhanced cost of pig tin and iron. Pig iron had advanced to £11 in February, 1880, while pig tin had advanced to £105 per ton. This increase in the raw material sent up the price of tin plates about 3s. Since 1880 the price of tin plates has gradually declined, until the increased duty was assured in July. 1890, when there was an advance of nearly #1 a box, caused by the rush of American buyers. If it was the policy of Welsh makers to put down prices whenever there was an attempt on the part of Americans to start the business, why did they not lower the price during the first six months of 1891, when, if newspaper reports could be believed, tin plate mills were starting up by the hundreds? Yet it was during this very period, owing to a speculative demand for plates, that the price was ran up over #1 per box. , If Mr. Harrison were a plain business man would he pretend that the fluctuations in tin plates for the two periods mentioned above, and to which he refers in his letter of acceptance, were not the direct result of fluctuations in the raw material of which they were made?

It lacks only a tew days of two years since the McKinley law was enacted. The reports quoted by Mr. Harrjson show that 18,688,719 pounds of tin antfc terne plates have been produce 1. Of this amount 9,107,139 pounds were simply roofing iron with a mixture of lead and tin in the coating. During this time the American consumption of tin plates, according to the returns of tho government, were something over 1,800,009. So it appears that an industry which its promoters promised would supply the whole requirements within nine months has supplied less than one per cent of such requirements. Up to the Slst of March last it was shown that tin plates had been advanced to consumers, through increased price of plates and duty paid thereon, 939,786,808.80. Add to this duty paid on importation for the last quarter of the fiscal year ending 1893, over 94,000,000, andtve have a total outr lay of nearly 933,000,000. The only thing to be credited against this enormous expenditure is the wages paid to imported Welshmen for tinning this 13,646,719 pounds, which at 13 <ftnts per box, the established price, would amount to 916,376.04, less than 80 cents received to every 9130 £aid out. Would Mr. Harrison as manager of a business corporation- not backed by a government bounty and organised under the expectation aitd assuiance that the industry would be self-support-ing in less than nine months, felicitate himself in realising that after tvro years the industry of which he is the responsible head had coat the company 935,000,000, and that th& ooly asset was a labor account of 916,374.04; in other words, that the concern had paid out 9100 for every 60 cents received?—T.

lotting \Tl«lom Tooth. The “recent unpleasantness” at Homestead, Pa., has called attention to and other skillod workmen in the iron and steel industry are nearly twice as high in western as in eastern Pennsylvania. Is this because western has twice as much tariff protection as eastern Pennsylvania? Not at all; both the manufacturers and^the workers agree that it is because the Amalgamated Association of non and Steel Workers is stronger in western than in eastern Pennsylvania This is why the millionaire iron masters are sifter the scalp of the Amalgamated association, just as they wonld be after a high tariff, if it really made wages high. The two things that the manufacturers want most are high prices for their products and low wages to produce them; and the mutual affinity between manufacturers and high tariffs is evidence that “protection” accomplishes these two objects. The workers and consumers are learning these faots by piecemeal but their wisdom teeth will he cut soma day. __- The Farmer Under McKinley. Protection and reciprocity are just beginning to get in their work on farm products. What a boon increased duties have been to farmers is evident from the tendency of farm prices as* shown by the first twelve items in .a table of comparative prices in Bradstreet’s of September 4,1893.

But history shows that where a protective tariff has been entered intu by any nali in, it is very hard to give it up. - Iron Age.

When potatoes were first Introduced Into Russia by t Mr- Rowland (tM titact date of the introduction of the tuber into that benighted country being ft subject of controversy, but usually Set down at !t»t) the people would fielthef plant hot touch them. They declared ^henl to he tfao devil’s frslii hntl that they Vthre gi^en to hisSatank majesty on his complaint id fcb'^d that he had no fruit. God told him id “search the earth for food.” Whereupon the poor devil fell to digging in the earth and found potatoes growing therein. / A similar legend seems to have obtained credit ahloiig the Staid Britishers In Berwickshire, Engl arid. In that , Shire the Introduction of potatoes is popularly attributed to Sir Michael Scott, one known all over feu rope as “The Wiaard of the North." According to the story Michael and the devil formed a copartnership and tools the lease of a farm on the Mertown estates, called the “Wbitehouse.” Michael was to manage the farm-, the devil the capital: the produce tvae to be divided in the following mahheft the first year Michael was to have all that grew above the ground* and the devil all that grew beneath the surface; the second yearfsharCtowere to be divided in just the opposite-way. His Satanic majesty, strange *9 say. was badly beaten by the\vily Michael, for that personage, v.-itlf tyuo Scottish foresight, sowed all the land to wheat the. first year and planted it uB4n potatoes the second. So the poor devil got nothing but wheat stubble and potato tqps. Uow these absurd legends originated no one seems to know, but the fact remainsVhat the peasantry of both Russia and Ebjjlaatl even to this clay frequently alluae-topbtatoes as “devil’s

OILING A ROBBER. &n Eathetr'a Treatment of a SoULh Road Agent* There used to be—and mpy be yet— on the Las Cruces division of tho Santa Pc railway an engineer known as “Big Jack Long." One night Jack was alone at his engine oiling up the machine, while the rest of the crew, like the passengers, were at supper in tho dingy eating house. The train was a long one and the engine was well away from the little cluster of buildings. Suddenly, “throw up your hands!” was growled at him and Jack found himself looking into a gun in the hands of a hard-looking citizen. The fellow dcm&ided money and Jack began to argue, protesting that ho had but a dollar in his pockets and that to take that were a cruelty, since it was meant to pay for his supper. Yes, the marauder was determined to have the sack, even if it had but a single dollar. During the discussion Jack slipped his hand from bulb to nozzle of the long machinist's oiler and edged around the head of the locomotive, finally backing across the track, closely followed by the temporizing holder-up. When the man was so well into the glare- of the headlight as to guide Jack's address, worthy promptly laid over his head with tho heavy oiler for a bludj^on, and, whet the victim's yells had drawn forth the supping contingent. Jack had beaten his assailant almost senseless and stood, weapon in hand, looking down at him. and saying, grimly: "Well! I guess I've got you so well oiled up that you won't “run hot’ agafft for one while!” A REGAL MOTHER-IN-LAW. Queen Victoria's Tr*uf.:uent at Iler^DsugUtm‘ Caibxub. flowcver shorn Queen Victoria’s authority may be as queen, she retains it ail as a mother-in-law. As her family is large, her opportunities are great. To the New York Evening Ban there is sotpething formidable in the idea of a mother-in-law who is also a qfteen, when she is disposed, as is the queen, to exercise her rights, both natural and Inherited, even uuto her children's children of the third and fourth generations. The details of a daughter's mar- , riogo bring mother and child into sweet- < est communion and sympathy, but these in the marriage of® Louise, of Wales, the queen took chtirely into her own hands and settled s-JtogetjfFer to her own satisfaction. Doubtless she prescr?bed the' infant trousseau of Lady Alexander Duff. The English journals, do not hesitate to allude to the satisfaction of the dnehess of Edinburgh that owing to the royal mourning in England for the duke of Clarence, the wedding of Marie, of Edinburgh, to the crow* prince of Roumama, may take place at Coburg, which tho Edinburghs regard as their home. The yeaSbn plainly assigned is that the duchess will be free to make her own arrangements without the interference of the queen. The same motive, it is alleged, keeps this braneh of the royal family out of England so far as etiquette will permit. _ Languages In Africa. - The Germans are trying to count the languages that are spoken in their new colonial possessions. In cast Africa they have found fifty languages; in southwest Africa, twelve; inCameroons, twenty; In Toga, five or six. These figures do not include a largo number of dialects which are almost equivalent in some cases to another language. The Germans have no idea yet how many languages are spoken in their South sea possessions, but they have thug far counted fifty. Their missionaries and agents are hard at work reducing the languages which are most used to writimr and making dictionaries of them.
