the office of the Secretary of the Senate,
and wa3 therefore within my observation.
A MASTKIt OF CLERICAL DETAIL.
It was the criticism of some of the old
clerks, some of whom had seen service as
tar back as Quincy Adams, and could enaat
the "Webster reply- to Uaync as they aaw it,
that since Qumcr Adams no Executive
papers came from the "White House in better
shape. The credit of this must revert to'
Mr. Xicolav, as in the honors given to Mr.
Lincoln, I Lave seen none that would award
him prominence as a master of clerical de
tail. John Hay, the associate of ITicolay, whose
face I used to think looked like that ft
Byron, when he flashed upon London
drawing rooms as the author of "Childe
Harold," came to the 'White House from a
Rhode Island uuiversitv. He was exceed
ingly handsome a slight, graceful, boyish
figure "girl in boy's clothes," asl heard in
a sniff frcra some angrv politician who had,
perhaps, been compelled to lower his feet
from an executive tablej brilliant, with the
promise which has since ripened into
splendid fulfillment; chivalrous, independ
ent, with opinions on most questions, and
expressing them; a good deal in society;
writing verses, which it was mv sacred
privilege at times to hear in the silence of
remote "White House chambsrs; a poetio
nature thoughts one time of being an
orange planter, because of the poetry in the
oranges; proud of army associations, with a
passionate love for the memory of the fated
Ellsworth, in whom he saw Napoleonic
possibilities; reserved likewise, with just a
shade of pride that did not make acquaint
anceship spontaneous; honest as sunshine,
85 strong and brave as the seas. This young
thinker, who combined the genius for ro
mance and politics as no one in my time
since Disraeli, was suited for his place in
the President's familv. "With such a Presi
dent as Lincoln with such a mau at such A
time no men were more appropriately
placed than Nicolay and Hay.
THEIR DIPLOMATIC ASPIRATIONS.
I write this with reserve, as one is always
coy in writing about those who are living.
Even the thugs that thould be said, that
you wish to say, are held back out of con
sideration for" the fine sentiments. But
Nicolay and Hay wens so mnch a part of
the Lincoln administration, and are now so
much m its history, that their true rela
tion to it aud their quality should be
known, Nor should the fact that at the
time of the death of Mr. Lincoln they were
about to leave the Executive for the diplo
matic service he construed, as I have seen
it, into the cruel intimation that they were
no longer needed. I knew the circumstances
of the transfer at the time. Mr. Nicolay
had served during the war. He was poor.
AVhite House duties had destroyed pro
fessional opportunities. He was as he bad
generally been, in indifferent health. The
Consulate to Paris, one of the most remun
erative of the foreign places, was given to
him, that he might restore his health and
save some money. Hay was younger than
Nicolay, did not need money, but with high
purposes in the way of knowledge. The
war was over, and the executive work
which he had done with to much grace and
sincerity could be transferred to others. He
entered the diplomatic service, was under
Bigclow in Frauce, Motley in Austria and
Sickles in Spain. When he returned it was
with a satisfied ambition. One of the most
brilliant in the natural qualities of his in
tellect, he had made himselt one of the most
scholarly and accomplished Americans of
his time.
It is a matter of reproach to Mr. Nicolay
and Mr. Hay, as I observe in the McCliire
controversy, that thev were never invited
to the "political coulerence," which took
up so much ot the President's time. Those
dreadful "conferences." "A most exciting
Cabinet meeting to-day," as I remember
reading in a humorous journal. "Question,
tho postothec at Manayunk. Ilobson claims
it bsiause he carried a lantern in the pro
cessions; Jobson, because he furnished the
oil; Dobon, because he carried the bucket
cf water at the tail of the procession. Tre
mendous excitement! Cameron for Dobson,
Seward for Jobson, the President inclined
to Itobsou. Will decide in a week."
'0 WONDER THEV STAYED AWAY.
From these conferences aud this satire
was not an altogether unjust epitome of the
wretched wranjles forced upon the Presi
dent lean well conceive a private secre
tary shrinking, and it is quite intelligible
that Mr. Nicolay, Mr. Hay, or in fact any
secretary whose young minds the President
held in esteem, would be debarred. There
ore times when the young folks are sent
from the table and bidden look up the fairy
stories in the librarv. They were not in
btructUe, 1 am afraid eoufd only be met
by the stiong, healthy mind of "Lincoln.
Here was a worn, overAlriven, kindly Pres
ident, his mind upon the w ar, held at bay
by the mendacity, ambition, chicanery,
sentiment, hope, treachery, devotion of the
hour. "What dreary, barren days, with a
tone of business about it all, that one can
not recall without pain.
"I saw so and so go on down stairs."
"Yes," said Lincoln, "I have just made his
son a general!" "A general!" "Yes," was
the weary answer. "You know I must have
time to do something else." Indubitably
true, as told me by one who was present.
Striles from the camp over-rank, pay, pro
motion, allowances no end to that sad bus
iness something that ono does not like to
recall on Decoration days, but a part of the
time a part of the woik appointed to this
man, and to be considered, even with re
moie aud shame when we study his char
acter and the conditions in which it flour
ished. They call him a humorous man. So
1 oltcn found him. A flippant man. This
I heard, net er saw. Would read Artemus
"Ward at Cabinet meetings. This I was told
by Secretary Chase. As I see it now, I can
well feel that but for this humor he would
have died. That rare, unspeakable blessing
was given hiin.by the gods to save him from
a daily assassination.
G BELLE YS DISTRUST OP LINCOLN.
The estimate of Lincoln by Horace Gree
ley, printed in a recent number of 77ie Cen
tury, I read with deep interest, more espe--cialiy
as between the lines j ou see Greeley's
distrust of the President! " This, I remem
ber, was th impression made upon me when
I read it at the time it was written by Gree
ley. "Lincoln," as I have heard him say,
"was half a statesman and half a horse
jockey." Greeley was recalling Mr. Lin
coln'.: sudden disavowal of him in the
Niagara Palls negotiations. He felt as if,
in the Biblical phrase, the pit had been
digged tor him, and that he had fallen
through the contriving of the digger. The
Niagara Falls business was undoubtedly
seized upon by Lincoln for the emasculation
ot his most p'owerful and persistent eritic.
And a; Lincoln was entirely human, where
the humanities came into play, he could not
avoid the fact that his critic was at his
mercy, under moral bonds to keep the peace.
"Whether this was the President's intent or
not, it was the result. "With Greeley, how
ever, the Niagara Falls disagreement was
not the cause, but a culmination of many
causes. To Greeley more than any other
Republican Lincoln owed his nomination.
He especially could defeat Seward, and
although in doing so, so far as New York
was concerned, Greeley committed political ,
hari-kari, the profit went to Seward. For '
the rival he had slain, recognition; for him
self, isolation. Something not to be endured
by as brave a leader. Lincoln saw, how
ever, that he had simply profited by an act
of rcenge, that he was never in any sense a
selection of Greeley, who wished Bates, and
never, 1 think, cared for hiin. He there
fore bound New York to the car of his ad
ministration by giving confidence and au
thority to Seward.
This Mr. Greeley never forgave. As the
war clouds went down, and political policies
supervened, he would havebecame as severe
a critic of Lincoln as later of Grant. A prond
rival with a memory like steel, from a race
which never forgives and never forgets, the
Niagara Falls business would have been
fought out by Greeley, had time served,
under conditions which would have cost the
President many a sore and anxious hour.
GKA"T MIGHT HAVE SAVED LINCOLN;
The estimate which Grant formed of Lin
coln was personal. I printed it during the
General's life and may recall it "The great
est," said Grant, "I have ever known, and
the dav of his death the darkest of my life."
So -;ra"teiul that Lincoln's last free breath- j
ing hours were spent in his society. Those
rides around the lines, and the President's
fine horsemanship, assuredly not to escape
eyes ever keen in that regard. "The great
est I have ever known." ""Grant's words to
ine again and Again. Mournful on one oc
casion because he did not go to the theater
on the fatal night, cs he had appointed.
"Might have reached -other conclusions."
Perhaps! I have sometimes tried to fancy
what might have been, had not fate swayed
Grant from this engagement. An infuria'ted
young actor, maddened with brandy, with
the blind rage of a frenzy worse than in
sanity, in the presence of a young soldier of
43, fresh from the army, in the fullness of
alertness and strength, famous for his per
sonal courage in an army of brave men.
Grant believed that Booth "could never have
tiulatched the door of the stage box, latched
it and drawn his pistol without hearing him,
an impression more than probable, remem
bering Grant's phenomenal acntcness of
hearing aud observation. "Might have
reached other conclusions," Undoubtedly,
but why dwell upon it now.
Lincoln always seemed very much of a
man. I have never read a description of
him that recalls him quite as I knew him.
Something always beyond and beyond. Nor
has fame been kind to him, in the sense that
fame is never kind unless it is just. There
is little justice in-much that is written of
Lincoln. There comes the dismal fear that
he is to live in an apotheosis, to be treated as
"Washington by Marshall. His sad fate may
invite this. Assassination is ever a conse
cration, for thus do the gods appoint their
compensations. "We see it in Cresar, Henry
IV., "William of Orange, Garfield. The fig
ure vanishes into mists, incense vapors; a
vision, not a man. For of such is Human,
sympathy and human love.
WOULD STAND ON THE EECORD.
I can think of no one w ho would care to
be known as he was so mnch as Lincoln; to
have posterity remember that he had muscle
and brawn, and not become a fantasy like
this we call "Washington going on his knees
from elm treft in nlm trne. in a state of moral
indecision and despair, painted to us asif
mere was Dut one honest, ciean-neaaea
Boldier in his day. And as the incense mists
float and form into clouds and the real Lin
coln vanishes into a kind of pantomime di
vertissement, one might hear him say:
"Save me, save me, friends, from this slush
called history; from this miasma of adula
tion, misconceptions running riot; from this
murrain of falsities for in truth I was a
man, a man of my day and hour, living
with my duties and opportunities and striv
ing witc them as a man should do."
The atmosphere abont the White House
in those Lincoln days was unnatural. It is
hard for those of us who are accustomed to
ways of peace to understand the Washing
ton of the war times. Mr. Lincoln did not
impress the capital as a welcome personal
force. Liviug in an element of detraction,
he was not a popular man. It would be
hard to recall his friends or favorites. I
presume Forney was as near to Lincoln as
any one of those in politics or journalism.
He edited the leading Republican new spaper
in the capital, as well as in Philadelphia
was a brilliant writer, an eloquent speaker,
and an earnest, intrepid friend. Yet 1 can
never recall in my observation of Forney,
any other feeling but that of doubt as to
what the President might or might not do.
This was the tone which pervaded many of
thi political circles which surrounded For
ney. It was not a coterie of the opposi
tion, but, on the contrary, very much a
coterie of the President's frien'da. Simon
Cameron was there every day, and yet
when Mr. Cameron resigned the "War Office
and Mr. Stanton was nominated there was
no one more surprised than Forney. The
President did it alone.
FORXEY ASD SLAVERY.
Nor can I write the name of Forney with
out pausing a moment tollngeronhis name.
A distinguished man in those days, a tre
mendous force in the war. To Forney the
Republicans owe the Anti-Lecompton con
troversy with Buchanon, which was tho
battle of Lexington in their war agaiust.
slavery, the first flank movement that mado
success possible. Others came in Broder
ick, Douglas, Walker, Haskin, Hickman,
Dougherty but Forney led the way. For
years he had a lonely, disheartening cam
paign, only to see, when he had broken the
pro-Slavery lines, others who were never in
the range of danger rush in to the honors
and apportioning". I was a witness of the
earnestness with which he had made this
Anti-Lecompton crmpaign, of his over
mastering, absorbing enthusiasm. It was
ever in his mind, therefrain to every move
ment and harmony of his life.
"What shall I say to this fire company?"
said Daniel Dougherty one day, as he
bounded into Forney's room. "I must
present the foreman with a silver trumpet.
Give me an idea."
"Yes," said Forney, looking out upon
"Washington Square; "Yes, I wonld take
occasion to dwell upon the fine, self-denying
heroism of these firemen's devoted live'sj
of their protection of our homes, and I
would adjure them to remember Douglas
and follow Walker, and never cease to war
upon the infamies of Lecompton."
Said with the utmost sincerity! It was
the one thought in his mind. And having
that desperate courage which makes one a
majority, Forney in his contests never had
but one'thought to win. Thus he served
the Republican party, and with what
recompense I shall not say.
FIRST IMMJESSION OP LINCOLN.'
Lincoln had no more strenuous friend
than Forney. The admiration of Forney
for Lincoln came with experience. The
first impression Lincoln made upon him
was akin to that upon Stanton, as I read in
the letters of the Secretary. "And what of
the new President?" I asked Forney, as he
came into his editorial rooms from a Wash
ington visit about the time of tho inaugura
tion. "The new President," said Forney,
throwing up his hands, as if I had made
inquiry about one of Du Chaillu's gorillas,
"the new President unspeakable! That
with what one has seen in the White House,
to see what he must sec."
Yet, as with Stanton, when Forney came
to know Lincoln, to study him with his own
eyes, he became his profound, undaunted
and uncompromising friend.
What I confess, and, as reflecting the
feelings of the elders around me, was a dis
trust of Lincoln. It comes back as an evi
dence of the strength of the man. I take It
that great genius is always solitary that
we attain the Alpine altitude whenever wo
ascend. Lincoln measured the men abont
him at their value. He knew their worth,
their fidelity, and in no sense mistrusted
them. But it was everyone to his duty.
To have descended among them would have
brought his administration to the level of
that of Andrew Johnson where every
puny whipster of a political adventurer or
parasite could flout and jeer and strike him
on the cheek. With the Union ever before
him, and its salvation the one duty. One
also can see excuses for what on the part of
Mr. Lincoln seemed an abuse of patronage.
He was racing for his life with the wolves
afoot, and the wolves must be fed.
MYSTERY OP HIS APPOINTMENTS.
Only upon the theory that all interests
however despicable must "be considered and
conciliated can we understand many of the
military and some of the Southern judicial
appointments of Mr Lincoln. The wolves
were afoot, and the wolves must be fed I
For the very life of-the Union they must be
fed ! Throw out a judgeship, a brigadier
commission they must be fed !
There was a humorous story of the Presi
dent in vogue in those days which seems to
indicate that his clear mind was not insensi
ble to these hard conditions.
"A brigadier general has been surprised
and captured."
"Yes," said Mr. Lincoln, "but what be
came of the horse ?"
"We don't know. The general has been
taken to Richmond."
"Oh, don't trouble me abont the general I
It is about the horse that I am worried. I
can make a brigadier any day, but a horse
costs money to the Treasury."
It was not a wholesome outlook, as one
sees it now, however, it may have fallen
upon the wondering eyes of young men who
found themselves in Washington and face
to face with generals and ambassadors.
"Washington was the rear of the arm v. Since
armies have been we know what trails after
them.-I recall no invective of Sherman
" ' ii sjsRsII!1 - wiWv TttW?"?? .i1f ," "-Tr" "ffl-T "vs.r wpws
' THE
more amusing than his description of the
rear, of the army at Shiloh; of the mules,
contrabands, the teamsters, huddled up,
trembling at the roar of the' guns they
could not see, intoxicated, frightened, going
from worse to wprse. "No wonder, said
the General, "that so-and-BO (naming a wU
known correspondent), fell into a panic
when he saw the sight,-and began telegraph
ing our defeat all over the Union. Why,
it was like a fellow down in one of Dante's
first-class divisions of hades telegraphing to
his newspapers the condition of aflairs
above."
THE FEELING IN WASHINGTON.
This rough illustration will give a rela
tive idea ofWashington during the war. In
a sense we lived among the mules, contra
bands, teamsters, the impedimenta of the
army. No, it was not a wholesome out
look! The air was suffused with hatred,
distrust and fear. There was no love for
the Union among the Washington people.
"Oh, you vile Yankee!" as a comely maiden
hissed at me one Sunday morning on her
way to church, as she saw me come out of
the quarters of the Third Infantry, on
Lafayette square. The maiden could not
help it. She was modest, fair and pious,
but the animus was there! It pervaded
Washington. She could no more help it
than the lark could help its singing.
It was not the heroic side of the contest
that those of u saw who remained much in
"Washington. In this somber trade of war
the heroic is only seen in the flash of 4he
guns. Washington was the rear of the
army, mnch as what Sheridan described the
rear of Shiloh. It was a city of disipation.
The gambling houses were in bloom.
Among the heart-breaking experiences in
my young process of becoming acquainted
with the public men was tho sight ot several
heroes of former political dreams hovering
overai.iro table or submerged under tne
fascination of roulette. As general Sickles
said to me at a later day when recalling the
impressions and experiences of war:
THE INFLUENCE OP WHISKY.
'It was a whisky rebellion. "Whisky
everywhere in the committee rooms, pri
vate nouses, at a hundred saloons, ihere
never was a State that seceded that did not
secede on whisky. The debates reeked with
whisky. The solemn resolverof statesmen
ship were taken by men whose brains were
feverish from whisky. If one-tenth of the
whisky drank in Washington in one day in
those war times, and especially when seces
sion was in development and culmination,
were to be drank by the French Assembly,
there would be war with Germany in a day.
Yes," continued Sickles, "we have had two
whisky rebellions in American history, but
the second was the greater."
As we recall it now there could have been
no atmosphere more unwholesome, aud
amid these fetid surroundings how could we,
even with eyes of trust and hope, see the
true greatness of Lincoln. He stood in the
mists. He was nebulous, uncertain, trying
to the eyes. When the mists lifted we saw
him as he was and that what were appar
ent clouds, black and trembling, was Mont
Blanc in its mighty splendor, the eternal
sunshine resting on its head.
Of the infinite patience of Lincoln, and
that exquisite politeness which an extreme
occasion alone can show, I recall one expe
rience. During the after midnight hours on
the Washington Chronicle, there came a
newspaper irom a correspondent at the
front, taken from a Southern picket. It had
news of the fall of Charleston. We had not
heard of it in the North. News then came
over the grape-vine, and if this were true it
would be the news of the generation
"Charleston fallen."
AN EARLY MORNING VISIT.
So after deliberation, accompanied by Mr.
Hart, the chief of the journal, I went to the
White House. 2 in the morainz. perhaps
later. But it was such news as would irradi
ate even a President's dreams. The faithful
keeper, a well-known North of Ireland per
sonage, with the soft Scotch brogue, finally
announced our errand. Mr. Lincoln, who
was in bed, came down to the magnificent
reception room, half awake, hair tousled
over a sleepy face, in slippers and night
gown. Curling up on the lotinge, eyes half
plosed, he listened to the news. "Charles
ton surrendered," "Yankees in, the sacred
city," "Town given over to rapine,"
"Southern valor exhausted," and so on, Mr.
Lincoln listened, slowly nursing his knee,
and said: "What is the date?" "December
20th," or some such day. "December 20th.
"Well, I have news from Charleston, Decem
ber 22, and then the bombardment was go
ing on zealously."
We felt as if we had committed lese
majesty or some other dreadful crime, this
dragging a President from his slumbers at 2
in the morning to hear news that he knew
to be untrue. Bnt so gentle over our re
grets, so courteous, so much obliged for our
coming for did we not see it might have
been news and then what hopes and happy
dreams, all so gently, softly bestowed, that
we came from his presence as if we had been
dowered, and not as unseemly visitors who
had robbed him of his peace.
LINCOLN AS I POUND HIM.
Why should one write all this? I knew
him and yet seem never to have known him.
AVhen we approach Lincoln, it is as if we
were on enchanted ground, into an atmos-
there of incense and repose. Memories of
lim, more than of any of the famous men of
the day, crowd upon me. At Independence
Hall, raising the flag; at the famous review
of Munson's Hill; in almost daily sight at
Washington; in beleaguered roadways
through the camps; in lonely striding walks
to the old war office; at midnight disturbed
from his slumbers; in that window recess of
the Cabinet room which I never see with
out a hush as if he were there; at Gettys
burg; in his coffin when the lilacs were "in
bloom and the great star hung in the even
ing sk-y.
Memories, all sacred to me now but
what better recognition than silence? In
silence, yes, but with gratitude, humble,
derout.Qthat even these eyes werejpermitted
to see and know him. In that spirit, as
somewhat incumbent upon me, and let this
be my excuse, I have sought to recall Lin
coln as I found him, and in doing so, with
reverence, with a sentiment akin to worship,
once again to pay tribute to his pure, un
dying tame. John Russell Young.

that are free of duty, and their nnmber
amounts to many hundreds.
There was much said by Governor Camp
bell in his speech at Cleveland about the low
price of wool. Ho stated incon-ectly, and I
have no doubt by Inadvertence, that the
farmer of Ohio was only Retting 20 cents a
pound for his wool. At the time he made
this statement the farmer was receiving for
his choice clips 23 and 29 cents. The infer
ence from his speech would ho that the In
creased duty on wool is the cause of de
pressed prices.
AN ARGUMENT TURNED ON CAMPBELL.
If this be so, then tho tariff is not a tax.
This was not the Democratic doctrine In
Ohio In 1S83 and 18S4. They then believed
that the tariff did help the wool grower, and
that a great outrage had been committed
upon him when tho duty was reduced 11 per
cent by the tarlf law of 1833. Thoy so de
clared, in a document, Issued by the Demo
cratic State Committee of that year, and de
manded of the wool growers of tho State,
.that the party that committed that great
outrauo should be dofeated at the polls.
And, I may say, in passing, that they were
defeated. Their statement was that the
Ohio wool growers had been fleoced,of $6,000,
OTO by the rcduetlon of 11 per cent of tho
duty. The Governor was one of those who
believed It then. In 1884, when the Demo
cratic party had the legislature In Ohio, a
leading Democrat, Mr. Bolil, Introduced the
following resolution:
"II. J. K. No. 1: Whereas, The Forty
sevonth Congress reduced tho tariff on Im
ported wool, against the protest of every
wool-grower of tho Statoof Ohio and the
United States, and
"Whereas, The said reduction of tariff on
Imported wool discriminates against tho
wool-growers of the West in favor of the
manufacturers of-the East, thereby compell
ing the wool-growers of the West to compete
with cheap wool of foreign countries to their
very great injury; and
"Whereas. That tariff was reasonable and
not too high, before the reduction, and
stands now at a rate so low as to injuriously
affect that largo and respectable class of
peoplo who have devoted themselves to
wool-growing; and
"Whereas, An Ohio Congressman has al
ready introduced a bill in the House of Rep
resentatives of the Fortv-eightli Congress, to
restore the tariff on wool as it stood prior to
the recent reduction which should bo passed
at the earliest time possiDle; therefore ho it
"Resolved by the General Assembly of the
State of Ohio, "That our Senators in Congress
be, and are herebyinstructed, and our Rep
resentatives requested to use all honorable
means and vote for the bill to restore tlio
tariff on wool as it stood prior to the recent
reduction, and that the Governor bf re
quested to send a copy of this resolution to
each of our Senators and Representatives at
Washington."
EVERY DEMOCRAT VOTED FOR IT.
The question recurring on the adoption of
the resolution, the yeas and nays were
taken, and resulted yeas 84, nays L This
resolution received the support of every
Democrat in tho Legislature The wrong of
18S3 was righted at tho very first moment
that the Republican party secured control
of Congross, and wag not righted in all the
years the Democrats were in control. The
new law gives tbe wool grower bettor pro
tection than he ever had before. The wool
of tho world has fallen in price American
tariffs do not fix the price of foreign wool,
but they do stand as a wall of defense to the
American wool grower nstalnst the wool pro
duced on cheaper lands and by cheaper
labor in other countries.
EFFECT OF THE NEW LAW.
Facts and Figures That Destroy Free Trade
Arguments TTliat tho Prophets Prophe
siedThe Reductions and the Increases
Two Admitted Facts.
The new tariff law went into effect Octo
ber 6, 1890. It had been In operation, there
fore, a few days short of nine months on
the 30th of Juno last. The last official re
part we havo of the statement of foreign
commerce. Issued by the Bureau of Statis
tics of the Treasurj Department, shows tho
total value of imported merchandise during
those nine months was $030,208,000. During
the corresponding period of 180, tho total
value of imports of merchandise was
$598,709,303. There were, therefore, im
ported during the nine months of
J891. under the new tarifflaw, $31,430,100 more
than in the corresponding period of 1890
under the operation of tho old law. As
showing the effect of the operation of tho
new law, it is important to know "what pro
portion of these imports were freo, and
what proportion were dutiable, both undor
tho old and the new laws. During the nine

goods admitted free of duty, wore valued at
$295,993,665. During the nine months ending

in lavor of the new law, of $EG,979,79:.
AN UNPRECEDENTED FREE LIST.
The foreign goods which were dutlnhle
under tho new law, in that period, were
$331,242,340 In vnlucand, for the nine months,
under the old law, ending June 30, 1890, the
foreign goods dutiable wero $369,780,032, be
ing a decrease in the value of merchandise
paying duty under tho new law hi the sum
of $55,543,692. Forty-six and nine-tenths per
cent undor the new law of all our imports,
in value, were admitted free of duty, and for
the sama period under the old law, 34 and
9 10 per cent were admitted tree of
duty. That Is to say, that under the
new law, which our opponents assert is
prohibitory, and, a great increase of duties
over the old law, 4B and C-10 per cent in value
of all our Imports wore free and 53 and 1-10
fier cent paid a duty, while under the old
aw for that same period, 34 and 9-10 per cent
of our imports were free, and 65 and 1-10 per
cent paid a dutv. Such a showing of free
imports cannot be found in anv tariff law
since the beginning of tho government.
Our foreign commerco for tho year ending
June 30, 1S91, was greater than it has ever
been before. The total value of tho prod
ucts bought abroad and sold abroad, from
Juno 30, 1890, to Juno 30, 1391, was $1,720,330,
89G, an increase over those of 1890of $82,191,
80.1, and nn excess over that of 1SS9 of $2il,
797,867. The value of our imports for the
Ilscal year 1891 was the greatest in our his
tory, and exceeded those of 1890 in the snm
of $55,393,082. This increase is mado up
largely of tho following articles: Coffee, tin
Slates, hides and skins, cbemicals, drugs,
yes and medicines, fruiss, raw wool, India
rubber, gutta percha, sugar and molasses,
vegetables, which for the most part we do
not pioduce in tho United States.
the prophets called down.
And yet with this unprecedented importa
tion our expoits exceeded our imports in
the sum of $89,579,914. So that a law which
our opponents declare is in restraint of
trade, is In laot an encouragement of trade,
With tho ba ance fortunately in our favor,
as it should always be. The predictions
mndo by the enemies of the new law, nine
months ago, have not een verified, but on
the contrary have been shown to bo mero
assumptions utterly without foundation.
They served a political purpose, and
worked a positive injury to the mer
chant and tho manufactuier and the con
sumer. Thero are few merchants in the
State of Ohio who have not suffered
trom the exaggeration of the importer and
the false prophet, whose dire prophecies of
the effect of tbe new law caused tnom to in
crease their puichnses and prices, which
prices havo since fallen; and in bouio in
stances the goods which the merchant has
on hand can be replaced at from 10 to 20 per
cent less than ho paid for them. Prices to
day in staple goods are less than they w ero
during the months of October, No ember
and December of last year, and there is
scarcely a manufactured article which goes
into the family and which is classed as a ne
cessity that has not fallen In price and is less
tnan it uas Doen ior many years.
I havo heaidof hundreds of men who, re
lying upon what Democratic orators and
Democratic newspapers and theirimporting
allies were saying touching the great ad
vance which was to take place, embarrassed
themselves to lay in a stock beiore the
prices advanced, can now buy the same ar
ticle at retail at much less than they then
paid. The people weie beguiled onco and
are not likely t be beguiled again. They
will surely not follow tlio business advice of
this class of political alarmists in the future.
TWO ADMITTED FACTS.
One thing is certain, that tho price of man
factured articles have not advanced, but
as a rule diminished in prlco. Another
thing is equally certain, that existing indus
tries have been stimulated to greater activi
ty, and thero is a wider demand for labor
than there has been for many years, while
new enterprises are springing up all over
the land: and this, too, in spite of the con
spiracy of the Democratic leaders to destroy
confidence and prevent investments.
There aro 842 articles In the new tariff
law. Of these the duties on 190 w ere reduced.
Eighty of theso articles the duties wcro
changed from ad valorem to speclflo,because
experience has shown that ad valorem du
ties invito lraud upon the revenue and
operate unfairly to tho honest mer
chant and importer. There are 249
articles in the no" law on which duties are
identical with those under the previous

low. Upon what articles were the duties
increased? Forty-eight wore upon agricul
tural products,43 upon wooland Its products,
24 upon flax and its products. Forty per
cent of the increases was for the better pro
tection of farm products. Twenty-eight of
the increases were upon champagne, wino
and spirits, Ave on tobacco, one on opium.
tJfree on slik. Duties wero increased upon
liquors, champagne, tobacco, silk, embroid
eries, laces, flno hosiery, broadcloth, fine
linens, opium for smoking, flno out glass,
French and German china, firearms, playing
caids, pearl buttons, Jewelry, pianos, seal
fur and tin plate. One hundred and eighty
flvo duties under the new law are the same
as under the Hills bill.
THE REDUCTIONS ON NECESSITIES.
The reductions were on sugar, molasses,
leather, boots and shoe'!, lumber, rice,
starch, trace chains, hammors, spikes, tacks
and nails, wires, screws, nuts and washers,
files, rasps, ropes, binder's twine, log chains,
iron piping, stove plates, horse shoes, sew
ing needles, copper and products of, lead
and piodncts of, nickel and products of,
structural iron, bar iron, hoop iron, sheet
iron, steel rails, wire rope and wire netting,
books for tho blind, varnishes, turpentine,
camphor, chloroform, glycerine, medicinal
jj reparations.
This plain statement of facts, taken from
the new law, should be and is conclusive
refutation of tho statements of free traders,
and ought to set right those who have
blindly accepted the misrepresentation of
our adversaries. There aro uo prohibitive
duties in the law. Yes, there aro. We pro
hibit the importation of obscene literature.
We prohibit tho importation of foreign
goods bearing an American name or trade
mark, and insist that tlie foreign goods shall
be marketed upon their own merits under
their own trade mark. Wo prohibit the
United States from importing anything
which is dutiable, except upon payment of
duties. Heietofore the United States could
buy Its supplies abroad free of dntv and did
it altogether too frequently. They must
hereafter obey the law which they require
their citizens to observe. We prohibit tho
importation of goods or products produced
by the convict labor of other lands.JWe pro
tect our free labor at home against the con
vict labor at home. But never before
against the convict labor abroad.

Tig Tin and Free Tin Plate Democratic
Inconsistency on tho Sugar Question,
It is over and over again asserted that the
farmer cannot possibly bo benefited by a
tariff on farm products. That ho has a sur
plus and therefore must seek a foreign mar
ket to dispose of It. There seem to be a gen
eral impression that no products come Into
the UnltedStates In competition with Ameri
can farm products. An examination of the
imports of 1890 most effectually disposes of
this assumption.

The Democratic party is now claiming
that frco sugar is in the direct line of their
economic theory and principle. They would
havo the epentry believe that they have al
ways advocated free sugar, and that this is
one ot tho items of tho Dill which they
thoiouchlvaimrove. Such is most remote
from the truth, as the history and record of
the party will show. First and foremost
every tariff bill which the Democratic party
has formulated and passed has placed a
duty upon sugar, raw and refined. Every
turiffbill which they have proposed to pass
placed a duty upon sugar. Sugar was made
dutiable under the Walker tariff of 1846. It
was dutiable under the first bill which tho
Democratic party offered after the war,
known as the "Wood Tariff Bill." It was
made dutiable under the two Morrison bills
and the Mills bill.
A DEMOCRATIC REVENUE POLICY.
Tho late Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.
Manning, In his report to Congress, recom
mended in distinct terms, the retention of
the duty on sugar because it was a rovenue
duty, and was a subject from which a large
revenue could be derived. Every Demoorat
in the House voted against the clause of tho
new law making sugar free, and voted for
tho retention of tho duty of 2 cents a
pound. In the Senate a united Democratio
vote opposed the froe sugarclausc,andjusti
flcd their opposition because it was a reve
nuo duty and in strict accord with the
economic principle advocated by the Demo
cratic pai ty. So that wo havo free sugar
under a protectivo tariff which has been im
possible under free trado or a revenue tariff,
and w o havo it free under a protective tariff,
because under the principle of protection we
do not tax those foreign products which ex
perience and a thorough trial have demon
strated we cannot produce in quantities
sufficient for our own consumption. By this
one section of the law $55 000,0000 of taxes
aic removed from the shoulders of the
peoplo.
But it is said that free sugar is accompanied
with a bounty provision whloh is even xnoro
burdensome than the tax itself. This Is not
true. Wo did nrovido for a bounty to the
sugar prodncers of the United States. The
Republican party was unwilling to do any
thing which would destroy this industry
andmako valueless tho millions of dollars
invested therein. And so they provided
having removed the tariff that tho sugar
producers of this country should receive a
bounty canal to the tariff. This will en
courage and stimulate the. production of
sugar, if anything can, and it will cost the
government this year less than $11,000,000, an
annual savins of $44,000,000 for the duties
amounted to $55,000,000.
THE PROVISION FOR RECIPROCITY,
There is contained in tho new law a reci
procity provision by which the administra
tration has already made valuable treaties
with Biazil, San Domingo and Spain. It is a
provision which in no way encroaches upon
the protective principle, nor can in any way
destroy or undermine our defeusive or pro
tective tariffs.
Reciprocity is based upon our free list and
practically upon noncompetiug products. It
provides that the United States havlngmado
sugar, molasses, tea, coffee and hides free,
if the country producing these articles and
sending them to the United States shall im
pose duties or orther exactions uponagricul
tural or other products of tho United States
reciprocally unequal and unreasonable, the
Presidont has the power to suspend by proc
lamation tho proviso relating to the tree in
troduction of such articles, sugar, molasses,
tea, con'ee, hides, etc., against such countries
imposing these duties andcxactlons, and the
original duties shall bo imposed.
There is much criticism about the duty on
tiu plate, and Tully as much misrepresenta
tion as thero is criticism. It is generally
supposed that under tho new law tin ore or
block tin is now dutiable. Undor section
209 of the law it will be seen that tho duty
on block tin goes into effect on the 1st day of
July, 1S93. That is, the manufacturers of tin
plato have free tin ore or block tin ior two
vears. Then there is this further provision:
That unless it shall be made to appear to tho
sntistaction of the Tresidont of the United
States, who shall make known the met by
proclamation, tnat tue prouuet oiiue mines
of the United States shall have exceeded
5,000 tons in one year prior to July 1, 1895,
then all pig tin shall after July 1, 1695, bo ad
mitted free of duty.
A PROVISION TOR FREE TIN PLATE.
The duty on tin plates went into effect on
July 1, of this year. There is also a provision
in tho law that on and after October 1, 1897,
unless it shall bo made to appear to the sat
isfaction of the President, who shall -thereupon
make proclamation of the fact, that
the aggregate quantity of such tin' plates
pioducod in the United States during either
of tho years next preceding June 30,1897, is
cquil to one-third tho amount of such tin
plates imported and entered for consump
tion during any fiscal year after the pus
sage of this act and prior to October 1, 1897,
then thev shall become free.
It Is said wo cannot make tin plate. How
absurd, for we are already making it, and it
will not be long until we shall make the
larger part of tho consumption. We aro
making tin plate to-day. It is to bo hero in
Kiles. Democratic discouragement cannot
stop it; foreign interference cannot check
American genius and resolution.

THE SAME SONG REPEATED.
I read this that yon may realize that what
Is said of the la w of 1890 was said of the law
of 1S61, and for that matter of every Ameri
can protective law. This odltorlal of the Lon
don 3Kme,written30 years ago.has been over
nnd over again repeated, almost in the iden
tical language, since tho passage of the law
of 1890, in the same paper and reiterated by
the free trade Journals of the UnltedStates.
They were wrong in their prophecies then,
they are Just as wrong in their prophecies
now.
"The bill of 1861," says the papor, "will be
found more detrimental to the interests of
America than of Europe." That is what
they say of tho present law. The law of 1861
detrimental to the interest of America.
Think or it! It was the beginning of a new
and better United States!
Is it any wonder that the Britishers feel
the deepest interest and concern in our
elections which are to maintain or destroy
the protectivo policy. They do not conceal
their feeling of bitterness against the Amer

could indicate to the people of Ohio what it
will be. I am impatient to know. Will the
new plan be fashioned after the Mills bill,
whieh the conntry so emphatically rejeoted

and symbol of tariff reform. Will It
be fashioned by Cleveland after the
British plan, or constructed bv
Hill after the Randall model? When ft
comes the conntry can look at it. It will bo

San Jose, Cal., Aug. 22 Remarkable
discoveries have been made at the Lick;
Observatory. Prof. Holden, the director,
has secured through the big telescope better
photographs of the moon than have been
taken anywhere else, and the work of pho
tographing goes on every hour when the
satellite is visible. By studying these pho
tographs with a magnifying glass 'and com
paring them, any changes taking place on
the surface of the moon may be discovered.
The astronomers on Mount Hamilton
have discovered some things that nobody
else ever saw, but they have not deter
mined whether these are new features or
things that are too small to have been seen
through a less powerful telescope. For ex
ample, upon the top.of one of the moun
tains of the moon the photograph shows a
luminous white spot that looks like snow.
If that is snow, and it it was not there be
fore, the presence of an atmosphere is in
dicated. It has been believed that the
moon has no atmosphere, and therefore un
inhabitable; but if it should be demonstrat
ed that snows tails upon the surface of tho

upset, and astronomers would begin to

Herrman was in a quandary.
Yesterday morning Herrman was a pas

Rate of5 Per Month for Medi
cines and Treatment.
The summer is the best time for the treat
ment and cure ot catarrhal troubles. The
climatic conditions are then most favorable,
liability of catching fresh cold being then
reduced to the minimum, and the even tem
perature and the condition of the atmos
phere favoring the progress of the patient.
Drs. Copeland and Hall have decided to
treat all patients, old and new, applying to
them for treatment before September 1 at
the merelv nominal rate of 55 a month, fur
nishing all medicines. This applies to pa
tients by mail as well as patients in the city.
It is to all patients, old as well as new, and
for all diseases. All patients taking treat
ment from Drs. Copeland and Hall before
September 1 will be treated until cured at
the rate of ?5 a month.
It should take from two to four months of
regular treatment to cure catarrh, commenc
ing at a favorable season of the year. Pa
tients troubled with catarrh taking treat
ment under the above conditions who are
not cured in that length of time will be
TP.EATED THEKEAFTER FEEE until
they are cured.
A WHirXG WITNESS.
Mr. Lawrence Lyons Gladly Adds His Tes
timony His Case in Detail.
"If my statement will be of anv service
to Drs. Copeland and Hall, I shall be glad
to give it," said Mr. Lawrence Lyons.
"They have done remarkable work in my
case, and I think it is my duty to do this in
order that others who are sufiering as I was
may know where they can go and be bene-'
fitcd."
The speaker was Hr. Lawrence Lyons, a
well-known mill man living on Cass avenue,
Ninth ward, Allegheny. It was to his suc
cessful treatment with. Drs. Copeland and
Hall ior his catarrh trouble he referred.
"I have been troubled at least three
vears." continued Mr. Lvons. "I tried all
.sorts of remedies, but could obtain no relief.
1 was about as miserable as any one could
he, and often I felt as though I did not care
whether I lived or not. My head and nose
were constantly stopped up; I had a dull,
heavy pain in my forehead. My eyes were
weak and watery. There were ringing and
buzzing noises in my ears.
"There was a constant dropping of mucus
in my throat, which kept me hawking and
raising. My appetite was poor, and what
little I ate caused a feeling of nausea at my
stomach.
"My rest was broken and I arose in the
morning feeling tired and languid. A dry,
hacking cough set in. Sharp pains would
shoot through my chest. Sometimes they
were so severe as to almost take my breath.
When I would stoop over and up qnlckly I
became faint and dizzy, and would have to
sit down and rest nntil it passed aw ay.
"This Is about as near as I can describe my
condition when I went to Drs. Copeland and
Hall for treatment. Thoir work in my case
has been truly wonderful. My head and
nose are now clear. I have no dropping in
my throat. My appetite i good and I enjoy
what I cat. In fact, to be hricf, every symp
tom of my trouble has left me, and I feel as
well as I ever did in my life."
Mr. Lyon lives, as stated, on Cass avenue.
He is employed at tho Pittsburg Forge and
Iron Company, and can be seen nt either

THE FAKIR CHAPTER.
PUBLIC SENTIMENT SUPPORTS
COPELAND AND nALL
DBS.
In Their Determination to Rid the City of
Frauds and Adventurers The Fakir
and nis Methods Have Got to Go.
The letters which Drs. Copeland and Hall
receive daily enconraging them in their
tight against the lake specialists and the
fake institutes that have long infested this
community show that the public appreciate
the earnestness of their determination and
the sincerity of their motives. The fakir
has got to go1.
If the character and record of these ad
venturers against whom we arc waging war
could be fully known, there is not a law
abiding, public spirited citizen that would
not extend his hearty support to the effort
to rid the city of their presence. If the his
tory of these adventurers and birds of prey
could be put in the hands of all persons
likely to De entrapped by them it would be
indeed a blessing. One fef the most noto
rious of them became a "great specialist" by
burying a man in the ground to cure him
from rheumatism, while he the "special
ist" was wrought up by supposed religious
excitement. The case became newspaper
sport and the hypocrite seized upon this
notoriety to start an "institute," and for a
year or two successiuhy victimized the in
credulous and the suflcring. Another this
time an "electrical healer" received all
his medical and electrical education by
"shinning" up telegraph poles and string
ing wires while employed as a lineman for
a street railway company. This business,
which was honorable and respectable, he
forsook to become an advertising "electri
cal healer," with his hands in the pockets
ofthe afflicted. In a neighboring city a
short time ago he advertised in the papers
the case of a child he was supposed to have
cured, and a death notice of the child ap
peared in the same papers. He then
skipped the town. Yet another case within
our personal knowledge: A man who was
earning a precarious though honest liveli
hood by traveling through a neighboring
State as a nurseryman, tired of his work,got
a job as usher and assistant in a doctor's office.
lis mimicry was as strong as a monkey s;
he saved his meager salary until he co'uld
Eurchase a decent suit of clothes and a silk
at, and with these credentials, added to a
plausible manner and an utter lack of prin
ciple, conscience or knowiedgo, seemed a
"backer" and is now a "specialist" hiding
behind the indefinite term 'institute."
But they must "move on !" We have be
gun the work of weeding theso fellows out
of this city, and we will never "lot up" until
every man who Is now preying on diseased
humanity goes; until the alllicted can bo as
sured that a man assnming to practice medi
cine in this city is educated In his profes
sion and indorsed by a regular college.
An honest physician has a double duty to
treat the sick and to protect tho public from
mealcal fraud. Drs. Copeland and Hall aro
fulfilling one part of their duty in curing
their patients, another part in unmasking
bogus specialists and bogus institutes. There
is more to follow:

"One day I read in tho papers of a case
