commends Itself to us as a sure guaranty of pros
perity to all classes of producers, and of that gen
uine and honest protection to labor so long pre
tended but. never vouchsafed by the monopolistic
legislation of the so-called republican party. We
therefore, avow, without hesitation or qualifica

and earnestly and hopefully recommend and uive
his re-election to the great office which lie has so
acceptably niled."

London, Jan. 19.?Sir Edward Clark, the solici
tor-general, made quite a eens\tlon by advocating
111 a speech at Birmingham yesterday the fusion
ot the legal professions, to enable solicitors to
practice as barristers, as no barrister Is allowed to
accept a fee direct from a client, and no solicitor
allowed to appear except in police court or county
court It Is obvious that ibis is not in the
interest of the public, but of a das*. It Is strange
that ciirk, who, althougn a man of the people, his
father having been a working watchmaker in a
little shop near London bridge. Is one of the mn?t
ardent advocates of privilege in tho present tor)
government, should propose
so revolution art a muriit
It only needs the abolition of the solicitors' an
nual tax and of the fees of the students at the bar
to maka the proposal thoroughly radk L At pres
ent no poor man Is able to become a barrister, be'
cause the fees are prohibited. This Is so well un
derstood that many Idle people
not for the purpose of practicing, but because i hey
can thus obtain a sort of gu^raniae i? respecta
