There is nothing in the President’s proclamation callings special session, to indicate that he thinks the country is suffering greatly from the continued operation of the “robber tariff.” The silver question seems to be all that he has “Old-man-afraid-of-his- tariff-talk” would be a good name for him just now. There are now some indications of a little, at least temporary improvement in the financial and industrial situation, and especially in the fact that gold is beginning to come back from Europe. This is all right as far as it goes, but the improvement is only partial and can not be permanent. The impending prospect of democratic free trade and democratic wild-cat financies has temporarily arrested the prosperity of the country. When the danger becomes a reality, the stoppage will beeoine a wreck. Situated as this country is, a protective tariff and a sound money system, are absolutely indispensible requisites to a condition of general prosperity. \The Evansville Tribune deprecates the alleged movement in favor of making Secretary Gresliam the Democratic candidate for president in 1896. The movement is too premature, the Tribune thinks, because no one on earth can tell what Gresham’s politics will be so far ahead as 1896. The Tribune's point is not well taken. For while there is ample time between now and 1896 for a man of Gresham’s well proved agility as a flopper to change his politics half a dozen times the one sure way to hold his flopping propensities in check, and to hold him firm in his new found allegiance to the democratic party, is to work up a presi“dential boom for h i in. No danger of his leaving a party while it has a presidential nomination for him in possible prospect.

While there is little doubt but that both sides are largely to blame in the matter of the row in the State Normal School, between the students and the faculty, yet the actions of the board of trustees in refusing graduating diplomas to those who were this year entitled to them unless they would sign an abject apology and admission of error, was noth in g short of an outrage, and should, and no doubt will, array public opinion upon the side of the students. The fact that the faculty and trustees of the school should, simply because unwise laws gave them the power to do, take so base an advantage of the students as to try to compel them to sign a humiliating statement and one which they did not believe to be true, under penalty of losing the diplomas to which they were entitled, will go far towards convincing the people of the state that the students have right on their side, in the whole controversy.

Altgeld, the red-mouthed Anarchist whom the democrats elected governor of Illinois last fall, has pardoned nut nf the penitentiary those of his brother Anarchists who were sent there for their share in the Haymarket mas sacre. The most deplorable feature of the affair is the way Altgeld gees out of his way to rave and traduce, in true Harr Most and Justus Schwab faiShioh, the court which sent the Anarchists to the penitentiary. It is an encouraging sign that the democratic papers of the country are but , J?th b« hind the Bepublicans in

condemning this outrageous act of Altgeld’s; but still the question rises, why did they favor such a man for Governor of Illinois? He was known to be in spmpathy with Anarchy before he was nominated And the fact was notorious that the Chicago Socialists were supper ting-him Tor the very reason that he was pledged to pardon the Haymarket murderers. The trouble with Democratic public virtue is that it never gets to the front in time to interfere with the carrying the election. —— ; • The big steel works at Joliet, 111., are all shut down, with little prospects for resuming business very soon. Other large works iu Chicago, belonging to the same company have also shut down. The Grant Locomotive works, an immense establishment, of Chi-, cago has also shut down. From all parts of the country come similar reports, of industrial enterprises shutting down, or running with decreased force, because since the sweeping success of the free trade democracy, confidence in the future has been destroyed. It is stated by-the-way, that when notice of the shutting down of one of the above mentioned works was gi ven the work men, a delegation visited the superintendent and wanted to know when the works would be started again. The sup. erintendeirt didnot know. “What will we feed our families.upon, we are out of money?” “Feed them upon the roosters you wore on your hats last November,” wasthe answer. Democratic liat roosters is mighty poor diet, but thats what they voted for, and they will have to take their medicine, and for several years to come, if the Democrats do not make haste to recede from their platform promises.

As Others See Us.

The Canadian Manufacturer says: “American manufactures are quite alive to the necessity of organizing and preparing for what must be a life and death struggle for them at the ensuing session of Congress. There is to be said regarding the situation there: If the tariff is reduced to a sinety revenue basis—if a close approach is to be made to Free Trade —the manufacturer must either go out of business or reduce the cost of production to the standard established bycompeting foreign nations. The manufacturer who has bis capital invested m a factory will not sacrifice it if he can help it; and the only way he can help it is by reducing the wages of labor to the standard of competing foreign nations. It will be a bitter pill for American workmen to swallow, but it will have to go down.” It will be a “bitter pill” indeed as the Canadian paper truly says. But the workmen of this country listened to the ravings of demagogues and the sophistries of doctrinaires, and they will have to pay the penalty. Our national history shows that each generation has to learn from bitter experience that is in our country at least, protection means prosperity and free trade means adversity.

A Free Trade Tariff.

From the Albany Journal, Democratic. Under a free trade tariff, with duties for revenue only, levied on non-competitive articles, the amount of money which is now secured by the McKinley tariff could easily be raised. The sugar duties repealed in 1890, and the coffee and tea duties repealed in 1872, if reimposed, would in themselves provide fully 75 per cent, of the amount wjbich is required. The Journal prepared during lhe campaign a statement of how the money is required to run the National Government could be raised in conformity with the demands of the democratic national platform. Consider the McKinley tariff law repealed in its entirety. This simple tariff may be substituted in its stead, and not only Garry out the Chicago declaration of the democracy, but, combined with the internal revenue taxes, will furnish all the money required for the Government. Sugar—B ci nis a pound <lO6 910,000 ('offer—Scents a ]K>und 32,047 OOQ Tea— 10<enl8 a ouuud I(,8s5,(»o Sutces— K> cents-jr-pbtrtrd.-.»,04».4K4 Cocoa— lu cents a pound 2,150,000 Cork, rubber, raw silk, (ura. 4c .. .25,000.000 Buuauus, dales, toooutiu s, 4c 5,000 000 Total <182,612,(00

Thus over 8182,000,000 of tariff revenue could be annually raised. This is all that is required. The entire revenue raised from the McKinley tariff during the year ending June 30, 1892, was less than 5175,000,000, and the estimate for' the present year is 8195,000,000. By this substitute tariff, which is simplicity itself, sufficient revenue might be raised, every shred and vestige of “unconstitutional” Protection might be stripped from the tariff, and the democratic demand for a tariff “for revenue only” might be met. This is the British method. It would raise the price of what the people buy, and take away their labor as artisans or workmen, cutting them both ways, like a twoedged sword. The democracy dare not do it. Let them try, and then look out for a cyclone.

Judge Baldwin’s Philosophy.

The Logansport Journal has been publishing the vie ws of prominent citizens on the question “How to be Happy though Poor.” Here is Judge Baldin’s conclusionon the subject: If I had my life to live over dgain I would not accumulate property. It don’t pay for the trouble. It costs more than it comes to. I would obey the bible command, “Give me neither poverty nor riches.” I would get me a modest home and pay for it early in life. If I had a family I would insure my life payable at death; if childless payable on the endowment plan, at the beginning of old age. I would then use up and enjoy my earnings from day to day and not hoard up money for some one else to quarrel about. after my death. feuch is my guess about how to be happy on nothing a year. Happiness upon paper is one thing; happiness with the wolf at the door is another thing altogether. Seneca with an income of millions per year wrote a book in praise of poverty. If Seneca had lived upon a back alley in the tenth story of a Boman tenement house with a sick wife and a dozen hungry children and out of work I fancy he would have been as unhappy as those he lectured upon the duty of making the best of the necessary ills of lile. These essays by well to do people upon “How to be happy altho’ poor’ ’are very much like the lectures by the childless upon how to bring up children.
