The ltepuh llcan tehe read or otherwise helps te sup sup pert a Democratic paper te the exclusion of one of Ills eirn party newspapers Is untrue te ihe llepubllcan cause. Unanimously subscribed te by the National llepubllcan League. J. S. CLARKSON, Freiident. A. B. HUMPHREY, Secretary. It must be admitted that the Con federate States, as a commercial com pact, was net a howling success. Yet it was a Free-trade government, pure Twin Pictures, and simple. In deed, se tenacious were the slavehold slaveheld ers for Free-trade that they had it in corporated in their Constitution. Belew we present the Free-trade clause of the Confederate Constitution in parallel with the Free-trade plank of the present Democratic platferm: Artlcle 1. section 8, clause 1 of the perma nent Constitution of theCenf ederute States adopted when In re bellion, en March 11th, 1S61. was ns follews: ' The Congress shall have power te lay and collect taxes, duties and excises for reve nue only, necessary te pay the debts, provide ler the common de fense and carry en the government of Confederate States; but no bounties shall be granted from the treasury.ner shall any duties or taxes en Im portations from for eign Nations be laid te promote or fester any branch of Indus try." The Deraecrntlc Na tional Convention adopted as its Tariff platform, June M, ISO!: " We declare It te be a fundamental princi ple of the Democratic party that the Fed eral Government has no constitutional pow er te enforce and col lect Tariff duties ex cept for the purpose of revenue only." A Tariff for revenue is as much a tax as a Tariff fpr Protection, and it must be se framed as te raise as much, if net mere, money from the people. The dif ference is this, that the revenue Tariff will be put upon articles which we can produce here, and, te yield sufficient revenue for governmental purposes, It must discriminate very decidedly against American industries. It must close down thousands of American factories and enforce idleness and distress upon hundreds of thousands of American workingmen. It will start the fires in British mills, while it quenches them in our own. This is the inevitable logic of events. Te yield an adequate reve nue the duty must be se low as te let foreign competitors in in great numbers, and for every dollar's worth of manu factures they bring in, that much of our money gees abroad, and our own workmen, who consume our agricultural products, sustain, and if necessary fight for our Government, receive that much less. This was net the idea of Wash ington, Jeffehsen, Madisen, Jacksen, or any ether patriot whose grjat hope and prayer was that our Government should be made strong by the develop ment of its internal resources. And why should this great and radi cal change be made from a system which has produced benlflcent results unparnl unparnl lelletl in history? It is said te be dene beeause a Tariff is a tax. We have said if one Tariff 1s a tax, be is another. But the Irresistible conclusion from estabv lfebed facte Is that, if anybody pays the Preteettve tax, it le the foreigner, while the revenue tax must be paid by Aiaerl iAJia, mi upon AraerleftM its heaviest What is this tax? We challenge nny Democratic editor in the state, says The Jfuntimjten Herald, te show where his taxes have been Increased, directly or indirectly, by a Protective Tariff. We venture there isn't one of them who has had an added tax burden in a year equal te what he would cheerfully spend in half an hour at the bar of a saloon. On the ether hand, the development of our state, the increase of its population, and the prospect for the future have been of incalculable benefit. Jehn C. Calhoun, and net Themas Jeffersen, was the father of Dem ecratic "Tariff reform." Mr. Jeffer son was a Protectionist, while Mr. Cal houn believed a Protective Tariff te be incompatible with the interests of slave slave eolders. Cleveland's popularity in New Yerk waned rapidly. Fer Governer he carried the state by nearly 11)3,000. Fer Presi dent, 1SS1, he carried it by 1,017 plu rality, and was elected.

While in legal theory this was n free coinage, bi-metallc country down te 1S73, it had been at ene time practically ou nn exclusive silver basis aud at another en an exclusively geld basis. Prier te 1S31 there was little geld in use in this country practically nothing but silver. After that date silver became very scarce in actual circulation. Since increased and decreased supplies of the precious metals tend te unsettle their relations and drive ene or the ether out of use, It Is nil the mero Important that the country shall retain both in its system of coinage and, se far as possible, make eadi restrain the fluctuations of the ether. etitital points.

IN CONGRESS. The Affair at Homestead Re ceives Attention. A Statement of the Case as It Re lates te the Tariff.' Tli I'rmltlent In Orrntly Cencrrnrtl Over thti Unfortunate Mtuntleii Ne AiijuuI llii us Yet llreti .Miide te the United State for Troup. Washington, July 7. Tlu first of ficial recognition in congress of the troubles at the Homestead, Pa., mill appeared Wednesday, when Represent ative Camhyittl introduced u resolution calling for the appointment of a select committee te investlge them. Preced ing the resolution is a long preamble, reciting in effect that the republican party has centended that one of the main purposes of its tariff legisla tion was the protection of Amer ican labor, and the increase of pay te the wnge-carnen, In pro tected industries; that, contrary thoie theie thoie te, industries protected by such legisla tion have, in many instances, instead of increasing the pay of wage-workers, actually materially reduced them; that the Homestead mills, controlled by A. Cnrnegic and his associates, operating in nn industry which has received the festering care, of said legislation te such an extent as te typify it as an example of the result thereof, from whatever standpoint It is viewed, has promulgated an order redue.ing wages of empleyes ranging te en extent, it is alleged, of from 20 te 00 per cent; that contrary te the position assumed by said party that the protec tion se afforded regulates the price of labor, it is stated by II. C. Prick, mana ger of said mills, that "We made the scale te suit trade and mechanical con ditions, and gave no thought te the po litical cause or effect;, nor the tariff;" that following this announcement the empleyes have refused te accept such re duction, and a strike is at hand, and it is asserted in the public prints that unned men, beats carrying guns, n stockade, having attached thereto pipes enabling het water and steam te be turned en nt a moment's notice, and surmounted with wires capable of being charged with electricity, all these supplemented with strong search lights have been re sorted te by said company te enable it te enforce its reduced scale of wages, thus inaugurating a condition of feudal despotism. The resolution thereupon calls for the appointment of a select committee of flve members te investi gate aud report en the causes of this strike, the conditions producing thu same and the effect of such legislation en wages and labor. The resolution was referred te the committee en rules. The house committee appointed te in vestigate the Pinkcrtens will held its first meeting en Friday. The president has received frequent press bulletins during the day from Pittsburgh about the riot lie is seriously concerned nt the grave turn which the situation has assumed. Up te the time, of leaving Washington Wednesday afternoon he had net been officially advised of the riot by any of the state authorities. Gen. Schefield said Wednesday after noon that no appeal had been made te the military authorities te aid in sup pressing the riots ut Homestead, and he did net think it would be necessary. He said that the state military of Penn sylvania was a most efficient organiza tion, and that it would be an easy mat ter te concentrate at leas 0,000 thor oughly reliable and well disciplined state troops at Pittsburgh or at any ether given point at 6hert notice. He said that the government could net in terfere in the matter unless the govern ment of the state should inform the president that the case was leynnd the control of the state and municipal au thorities. lie explained that such a ca arose during the Pennsylvania railroad riots of 1677, when the state militia was un able te cope with the rioters, and that it became necessary te invoke the aid of federal troops. General Selkefleld said he did net think the present trouble would reach the magitudc of the riots of 1877, but, even if they did, it is net likely that the government would be called upon te interfere, for the reason that the organ ization of the state militia is new in a vastly improved condition compared uith'lS77. llie Weather.

ItftiuurhnltlK Aluti liiiunliil Kxporlenco of no American Iu Mexico. Zaoateeas, Mux., July 7. Frank O. Lawsen, un American mochunie of this city, has been arrested and placed in jail en the charge of execedihg the limits prescribed by nn old Mexi can law still iu force regulating matrimony. Lawsen enme bore about four years age from the City of Mex ico, bringing with him a pretty Spanish woman as his wife. She died two months after their arrival and Dawsen took another young wife. She died also, and the American continued te cx cx crclse.his matrimonial propensities nt u rateh'at astonished the natives, par ticularly us nene of the wives lived leuger than two or three months after jJeVemlng a bride. 'Lawsen never wero weeds longer than three months after the demise of his rospeetive wives, when he would re peat the matrimonial experiment The people of the city are very conservative in such matters, and they let Lawsen alone with his remarkable and unfor tunate domestic affairs until three days age, when it was learned that he had married his thirteenth wife slnce his arrival In Zacatccas. The authorities began working en the case, and, ns there was no evidence at hand te show that his twelve pre vious wives died from ether than natr ural causes, he was arrested under the law enacted many years age which prohibits a man entering into the mat rimonial state mere than uine times. Lawsen, therefore, has four offenses te answer for, aud will probably receive a long term In prison. He is about 40 years old and well educated. He has resided in Mexico fifteen years.

Shortly before midnight Tuesday night a mob of 700 Negroes mardhed te the Duval county jail in squads. They were all heavily armed aud immediately took up positions about the various entrances te the prison. The Negroes claimed that they received positive Information that the whites intended lynching a Negro confined in the jail who is charged with having Tnlirdercd a man last Monday. The jail officials quickly notified the governor, and orders were at once issued te have several companies held them selves In readiness. The companies as sembled at the armory, with Capt Tur ner in cemmnnd. The Negroes sent a committee te the armory te confer with Capt Turner. The captain assured the colored men that there was no danger of a lynching, and advised them te go home quietly. At 12 o'clock Tuesday night the troops were ordered te march te the jail, where they are new stationed. When the Negroes saw the soldiers they scat tered, taking up positions in groups in the vicinity of the prison. At midnight everything was quiet but it was feared there would be trouble Wednesday morning. LE MONDE IS MAD. A I'rtiicli-rnii(llnn Killtnr Threaten V With Outline (Sun. Mentrkai., July ". Le Mende, a leading Fieneh paper, referring te President Harrison's proposal of retali ation against Canada, says: "The re prisal legislation adopted at Washing ton is an insult and threat te the peo ple of England and Canadn. 15y sign ing this law the president has broken the treaty of lb71 with the de liberate intention of injuring the Hrltish crown. Probably this legis lation will net be put into effect, but if they dare te enforce the law the duty of the Canadian and imperial govern ment is clear. An injury done te the honor and dignity of a flag which pro tects this treaty nnd the rights it as sures te the people of Canada would re quire geed and prompt reparation.
