Sctmu Tariff Exparanoe. It is very easy to predict the con sequences of each tariff legislation as the democrats are now proposing. Tne country had an experience in that respect before the war. and History reus wnac a calamitous re sult ensued. There are many citi zens who have a vivid personal recollection of that period of stag nation and suffering; and those of a later generation can get full infor mation upon the subject by consult ing tne newspapers and public documents of the time. The tariff then in force was of an anti-pro tec- tion cnaracter, generally speaking, and the Wilson bill duplicates it in many particulars. It promised in creased prosperity, and it brought national disaster. Manufactories, were closed, wages were reduced and poverty entered the homes of people . whose labor was made practically useless to them. Processions of ragged and hungry men, women and children were seen in the streets of all the large cities. The clamor for food, shelter and employment -was so great 'that troops were de tailed to preserve the peace and protect the public property. Men were discharged by thousands in all lines of productive industry. Meet ings were "held everywhere to devise means for supplying destitute fami lies with the necessaries of life, and the chariUble resources of different communities' were strained to the ufmost in the work of caring for those who were willing to work at any price, but could find nothing to do. There has been no repetition of that terrible experience since the passage of the Morrill tariff law and the inauguration of -the present protectiye system. Under that practical and beneficent system, the country has prospered as no .country ever prospered before. We have had no famine, no cutting of wages, no lack of employment. Our work ingmen Lave fared better than those of any other part of the world in any period of history. Homes have been multiplied at an unprecedented rate, and enterprises of all kinds have flourished in a remarkable degree. The proposition of the. democrats is to do away in large part with the system which has thus promoted our welfare, and to restore the conditions that existed before the war. They insist tnat the ex periment would now succeed, and that we no longer need protection to sustain our manufactures and insure steady work and good wages to the laboring population. But there is no reason to believe that the same circumstances which brought disaster then would now bring advantage. The lessons of experience are to the effect that like causes produce like results. That is the philosophy of our civilization, as well as the instruction of com mon sense. We know how a revenue tariff has operated in the past, and that is the best basis of judgment as to how it would operate at the present time. The country cannot afford to take the risk of inviting another catastrophe 'of the kind that fell upon it before the war by reason of a democratic scheme to raise revenue according to the theory that protection is a fraud and mockery. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Probably the pile of idle cash in New York will not grow much beyond its present dimensions this season. The ayerage weekly in crease in the reserves of the banks of that city for three or four months past along to last week was about 15,000,000, while last week it was less than a tenth of this amount. The surplus of those institutions is now about $76,500,000, which is almost $12,000,000 higher than the highest figure ever touched in any preceding year. The provisional government of Hawaii has shown its pluck to stand up against the intrigue of the administration and the power and influence of royalty on tne islands. When President Dole was placed at the head of the government the multitude of critics knew nothing of him, and freely foretold his tem porary rule. But he has met the hostility of the democratic adminis tration, awed his enemies on Ihe islands, and gained the respect of tne thinking people of the world. Mr. Cleveland and his friends may well call a halt. N Information about ad valorem duties never come amiss. This is from the Keokuk Grate City: The reason why ad valorem duties are the ally of free trade is plain: The foreign manufacturer, jobber and importing merchant can always beat the home manufacturer, jobber and merchant even with the duty added by means of his invoice. It is as good a device as ingenuity can invent to give all the advantages of trade and getting control of the market to the foreigu manufacturer and merchant over the home manu facturer and merchant. Whatever price these latter make the former can beat it by a lower invoice. Our own manufacturers and merchants cannot get away from their taxes and expenses, but the foreigner has none of these except the single duty tax, and he has it in his power by his own invoices to make this little or nothing. The system puts the honest American merchant, who will not make a false invoice, at the mercy and makes him the victim of the dishonest merchant who is offered an inducement by this gov ernment under the Wilson tariff to made a false and fraudulent invoice. Senator Allen, who has been earning a fat fee by defending some cattle barons in the northern part of the state has hurried on to Washington to stop the fire of his populist friends and others who be lieve that a man who receives $5,000 from the government for his ser vices ought to attend the sessions of congress with some regularity. -The senator has expressed himself in an interview to the effect that the movement for a new party to take the place of the one which elected him is not likely to succeed. On the contrary, he believes that the populist party is destined to re main on earth for some time yet, and although he does not say so, he evidently believes that it will some day become a great power for good.

The house has passed representa tive Mercer's bill fixing times and places for holdeng federal court in Nebraska as follows: "At Omaha, ' on the first Monday in May and the second Monday in November in each year; at Lincoln on the third Monday in January and the first Monday in June; at Hastings, on the third Monday of April, and at Norfolk on the fourth Monday in April of each year.

We, therefore, would respectfully call your attention to the above facts and pray you to repeal said organization laws and to enact in their places the same laws which are now in force in the state of Illinois, and known as Illinois organization laws."
