Newe]lDwi?ht Hin . is at Plymouth church, Brooklyn. Dr. Hi 11 is said in part: "The evils of drink are familiar to you. There are oth er evils. Hut the greatest peril is the insane spirit of gambling which seems to have taken hold of the people, irre spective of social standing or reli gious belief. The insane desire to get rich quickly is at the bottom of if all. 'I here is no difference between the newsboy who flips coins and the man in Wall street who buys stocks on mar gins on a chance that they will rise or fall. Both wish to get something for nothing; both are gamblers. The Incessant gambling on all sports lias ■wrought intellectual demoralization to the country. Horse racing is one of the noblest of sports, but it has been de graded and bestialized by gambling. Every Saturday afternoon you see at the race tracks thousands of working girls and men who have families to supj.ort crazy with the intoxication of gambling. As each race is run they stand tip, a yelling, cursing, purple- Jaced, brutalized gang." In these "words Dr. Hillis presents a scene that is growing to be too common for the good of the whole country. The gam bling which is inseparable from horse racing at big city race tracks is, ac cording to the metropolitan press, a growing menace to the honor, sobri ety and virtue of the youth of the cities. The latest novelty in the counter feiting line is reported from Pliila- Countcrfeiti..|g in delphia, where a lawyer was the I'riMon. _ other day arrested charged with aiding two of his cli ents, prisoners in Moyamensing pris on, in an enterprise for the printing of bogus S2O bills. The charge is that the men made the plates at odd mo ments during their confinement awaiting trial, and then printed tlio notes with a cleverly devised appara tus, so small that it could he hidden in a cigar box. For paper which •would defy scrutiny they used gen uine dollar bills, washed in a man ner to obliterate the first inking. The daring of this scheme distinguishes it from the ordinary work of the bad money makers, who usually seek se cluded places for their engraving and printing. If the facts are as now rep resented, the affair reflects seriously upon the prison authorities, who are supposed to exercise the closest pos sible surveillance over the move ments of all prisoners, and to search their cells periodically for contra band articles. The I'nited States gov ernment would seem to have good reason to complain of the Pennsyl vania prison methods. President McKinley's declination to cross the Mexican border while at El Paso is said to have reminded Kepre sentative Hitt of an incident of one of Gen. Grant's tours. During his first term as president Gen.Grant paid a visit to Niagara Falls. He was eager to cross over to the Canadian side, and it was with some difficulty that his friends restrained him, urging that there was an unwritten law that the president of the United States should not leave the country during his term of office. "Well," said Gen. Grant, pulling at his cigar, "that seems a very silly law to nie. I would like to cross over so that Colfax may realize his ambition to be president, if it is for only five minutes." According to a Washington report the telephone slot machines are doing an enormous work in the matter of taking worn-out dimes out of circula tion. There is nothing to prevent worn-out, mutilated and almost smooth dimes from being put into the slots, and as a result many persons keep the worn-out dimes for that par ticular purpose. Many druggists and others who keep public telephones make no objection to taking mutilated dimes any more for the reason that they keep a supply on hand to do a telephone business with. When ihey see that a telephone user is going to put a new dime in the slot they sim ply take it in and hand A worn-out dime in exchange. GEN. GRANT'S REPORT.

The greatest revival of activity was aftet Bryan's speech c»f acceptance of the democratic nomination. You could trace the r free trade. To those countries in which concessions in favor of Amer ican goods are made this government gives concessions in return. In stead of tearing down the protective wall, reciprocity provides for breaches in it here anel there, through which foreign products which do not com pete disastrously with American prod ucts may be admitted. Under reciprocity treaties all the new trade conditions may be met.

FREE TRADE A DEAD ONE. rCnitlaixl Iln» Tardily Discovered (he Superiority of Protection, Even in the house of its friends the once much-vaunted policy of free trade, the idol of the C'obdenites, com mands but scant respect. It yets more kicks and abuse than praise in the England of to-day, not because all or even a majority of nglish free trad ers have been converted to protection, but because they have lost faith in the system to such an extent that they no longer defend it, even if they cannot bring themselves to openly condemn it. Now that it is "a condition," not a "theory," that, confronts England, in the form of foreign trade competition, it is being discovered that free trade is not the great national blessing that was once preter.ded. The Englishmen who have for years believed that the building up of their country's great commerce was made possible by the repeal of the so-called corn laws and the adoption of a free trade system are rapidly revising their opinions, and on every side doubts are being ex pressed as to the advisability of re taining an economic policy which handicaps instead of helping. The -National Review, never an advo cate of free trade, but a conservative representative of British public opin ion, points out the proof that has come to hand of late of the fallacy of the contention that Great Britain's na tional prosperity during the last half of the nineteenth century was due to free trade. The National lleview says: "So long as wo had no serious industrial competitors for the markets of the world, our commercial and fiscal system worked well enough. It was not seriously tested. We are apt to overlook the fact that the lines of our industrial greatness were laid during- an age of monopoly—we being the monopolists—and that our methods are only now beginning to be tried by competi tion. W'e had a very long start from which ,we shall derive some benefit, but already we suffer from this threefold disadvantage —(1) Our home market is very seriously eaten into by foreign competitors; (2) the markets of our competitors are almost sealed against us; (3) in the neutral mar kets of the world free trade England is be ing rapidly overhauled by protectionist America and protectionist Germany. The age of foreign competition has succeeded the age of British monopoly, and the rival systems are now, for the first time, seri ously pitted against one another. The omens are unfavorable for free trade." It is not only interesting but impor tant for us to learn that British opin ion concerning the relative merits of free trade and protection is gradually unedrgoing a change. If it were not that the British move somewhat slow ly, we would be in danger of an imme diate revision of the British system and would have to prepare to meet a commercial enemy fighting us with our own weapons. But it is not to be expected that in Great Britain protec tion will soon be substituted for free trade, although it would seem as though it must come to that in time. Americans, however, will be well con tent tf> see things remain as they are now. We do not want to be kept out of the British markets where we have been building up so profitable a busi ness, and as long as the British cannot bring themselves to break with the free trade system that business can continue. But the tardy discovery made by Englishmen of the superiority of the protective over the free trade system is undoubtedly a vindication of Amer ican judgment. The people of the United States have repeatedly shown their faith in the protective system, and only upon one or two occasions have they displayed any wavering in that belief. The free traders have al most invariably been in the minority, and to-day that minority has shrunk almost to the vanishing point. The nation from its own experience knows that protection is the policy that builds up trade, both domestic and foreign. It would have known this even with out any English testimony on the sub ject. but it is nevertheless gratifying to have that testimony presented.— Troy Times. PRESS OPINIONS. CDavid I!.
