SOCIALISM IN GERMANY.
Socialism is not dead in Germany by
aay means.. The last bill in the
reichstagg against democracy was de
r feated by a good majority, and Bis
march must be vigilant if he can bend
the Germans to his wilL They are a
thinking people, and while the pre
mier, can force the sc pteunial bill
through a subservient legislature, yet
. he cannot chain the thoughts of the
university men. They will judge mat
ters in the cool light of reason, and
their conclusions will be drawn from
' logical premises. In Russia a large
. majority of these thinkers are in the
penal colonies of Siberia, where they
cannot do much harm to despotism
and autocracy, and tho army which do
the fighting are from the unthinking
masses, who view the czar, as their
"little father," and desire no other
- freedom than to live, fight for the
country, eat and drink when they are
" hungry and thirsty and die when their
: -; "time comes.". In Germany it is far
different. Every man is a soldier
: during three years of his life, and it
works no exemption if he be wealthy
or poor, educated or ignorant The
Russian government does not fear the
rank and file of the army. They are
loyal to the core, and at the command
of officers have stood in the battles of
the Crimea and in the Turko-Russian
camDaign and been shot down like
dogs without murmur or complaint.
The officers may be permeated with
nihilism; but the detective system is
so perfect that these may be weeded
out. When socialism becomes a na
tional issue in Germany, the army
must partake of the infection, and it
is not reasonable to supose that intelli
gent men will stand in the ranks in
battle and be made food for powder to
please the caprices of an emperor or
the desires of an ambitious premier,
There is no denying the fact that the hshments and a woolen mill, uen
leaven of democracy is working in the tleuien, do something to help your
old ccuntries of Europe, and at some selves, and there will be no drawbacks
not far distant day it will surprise no
m i .
oue to near or a political eruption
which will shake the old monarchies to
their centers.
TEE NEGRO IN THE SOUTH.
The New York Herald reports that
' "the Republicans captured the Afro
American convention in Chicago.'
Isn't this strange that the colored
. population of the United States, re
inemberinz that members of the Re
publican party fought the Fugitive
' Slave law, favored the Lecompton con
stitution of Kansas, opposed the fire
eaters of the south making negroes
chattels, under the lamented Lincoln
struck the sbackels from every slave
. in the country, and finally gave them
the elective franchise with all its privi-
leges, should feel friendly towards that
' party? They should rather have licked
. the hand that smote them, and now
stand up manfully for that organiza-
. tion which made them chattels, gave
' the Dred Scott decision, passed
the Fugitive Slave law, attempted
to force slavery on free Kansas and
in all territories; persecuted and assas
sinated abolitionists worse than the
. hunzry and ferociouB wolves of the
forest; fought four years of cruel,
fratricidal war to make slavery a cor-
J ' O
' ized the Ku Klux klans; bulldozed,
intimidated and shot them down like
dogs in the south after the war, and is
still waging an intermitting race war
la every state south of Mason and
Dixon's line to defraud them of the
elective franchise. Truly, it is strange,
. passing strange almost beyc n 1 com-
'-. prehension that the sons of slaugh
tered and enslaved sires in session at
Chicago should not have applauded to
:' the heavens the Democratic party.
A Washington exchange, which
heads its editorial columns with the
following attractive line:VW. B. Wil-
cockson, Ph. Dr.," which may mean
doctor of philosophy or doctor of
pharmacy (we don't know which) says:
"That there should be a rigid and
effectual barrier erected to protect the
- people from -the thousand and one un
principled charalatans, who fatten
upon the infirmities and ' afflictions of
. suffering humanity, there can be no
. doubt, -for of all human parasites, the
ouack doctor . and the "scientific"
healer are the worst" In the general
morality of the proposition we agree
with the author of the above, and if
. we are not very much mistaken no
- one but a graduated physician can
practice medicine in Washington. It
is the same in Oregon. But how can
, tho municipality or the state protect
- the fools of the community from being
imposed upon we cannot, with our
Hunted knowledge, accurately ascer
tain. The state cannot make it a
- crime for anyone to consult a faith
. cure doctor, or a well-known quack.
It can only stop such from parading
themselves as doctors; but the cupidity
of the community will always suffer
from their lack of discrimination,
whatever the legislature may do in the
passage of laws for their protection.
The spirit of the south is but little
improved from ante-bellum days.
Their abolitionists were barrelled up
and rolled into the Mississippi, and
there was not any more freedom or
speech than there was in the palace
of the czar or in that of an oriental
potentate. Since the war the people
in that portion of the United States
have inflicted all sorts of cruelty upon
the defenseless colored population, and
have displayed a pirit of revenge to
wards the whites who have sympa
thized with the negroes. Recently a
white citizen of foreign birth by the
name of Faunce. a tinner by occupa
tion, for accidentally loosening a rope
that suspended an effigy of Secretary
Proctor, wh'o'i a baing 1 turned be
cause that official refined to pat the
stars and stripes at half-mast on the
occasion of the death of Jefferson
Davis, was whipped brutally and or
dered to leave the town of Aberdeen,
Miss. Senator Ingalls well said that
if such an insult had been offered to
any of our citizens in a foreign coun
try we should have demanded repara
tion, or else war would have been the
result. This terrorism in the south
has set at naught the laws of the coun
try, and is every day causing Ameri
cans to blush with shame at the man
ner in which human risihts are troJ
under foot in this free government.
THE OREGON SEAPORT.
Astoria is displaying more real bus
iness life than any of the Oregon
towns.except Portland. Situated at the
mouth of the great river of the west,
with railroad communication or with
obstructions removed in the Columbia,
she undoubtedly is the great seaport
of Oregon. When the railroad to the
Willamette valley was a fixed fact,
confidence in the town was felt every
where, and she needed no further ad
vertisement Whilo" The Dalles has
no opportunities for ocean traffic; yet
as a great interior trading point she
has equal facilities with any point in
the north vest, and this fact is well
known almost everywhere. As .soon
as our business men realize their ad
vantages, and the people see that they
are in earnest, public attention will
be attracted in this direction. Then
will our real growth commence, and
all departments of trade will prosper,
And our wealth lamely increase. But
to utilize all factors of developments,
manufacturing industries should be
inaugurated during the coming spring.
The river should be utilized for traffic
by a line of opposition boats, and
then a narrow gauge railroad should
bt built to the interior of . Crook or
Grant counties and another one to
Goldendale. Aside from these enter-
prises The Dalles should have a soap
factory, pork and beet-pacKing estao-
to the growth and prosperity of tee
I i r r r
i city auu victimy.
The Walla Walla Unio editorially
advocates that tha sound is the
friend of the Inland Empire, and
producers should look in that direc
tor an outlet to seaboard. A few
yeaxi ago the Union was as much in
favor of the Columbia river as the
channel of transportation to tidewater
of the products of Eastern Oregon and
Eastern Washington as any paper in
the northwest; but it witnessed the
dilatory manner in which obstructions
in the Columbia were being removed,
and, like very many other journals, it
believes that the Hunt system of rail
roads and the N. P. is the most direct
route. The business men of Portland
have for years paid little attention to
opening the liver; but have bent their
energies to . improving the entrance
from the ocean, and, as a result, in a
little while, if the same policy is pur
sued, the commerce of the Columbia
will depend upon the productions of
o le or two counties east of the Cas
cade mountains. If these capitalists
in the metropolis of the northwest had
exercised ordinary sagacity the Colum
bia river would have been the artery
of commerce for the Inland Empire
and Hunt would have never built a
foot of roadln Oregon It is difficult
for them now to recover lost opportu-
nitie8,even if they realize the true po
sition of affairs.
Hon. W. E. Gladstone, the great
Englighman, and Hon. James G.
Blaine, secretary of state of the pres
ent administration, have appeared in
the last number of the North Amer
ican Review on tha economic
question or tree-trade ana pro
tection. Mr. Gladstone is very
logical in everything he says, and pre
sents his side of the controversy in a
very able and exhaustive manner.
There can be no more arguments pro
duced in favor of the policy pursued by
the British empire than those set forth
in the clear style ef Mr. Gladstone,
and perh u s we may say that Mr.
Blaine handles protection fairly.
But the ability of the two men are
not considered only the fiscal side of
the two policies. As Americans we
are protectionists; while if we were
Englishmen we would believe that
any tariff would be an unjust tax on
consumers. By experience only can
these problems be truly solved, and
when the United Slates have the
same density of population as. Eng
land our political economists may
advocate a change. Until that time
we shall believe in protecting our in
d us tries, and increasing our productive
capacity to the utmost extent.
The fi3t legislature of the state of
Washington, now in session at Olym-
pia, -8 receiving some severe criticism
from the press. When it adjourns we
believe there will be a -fourth of-July
holiday all over the state. It- has
spent its time wrangling over ques
tions of little importance, and the peo
pie can say with such legislatures
that they are governed too much.
A little judicious lawmaking, so that
the ship of state would have had
smooth sailing in her initial voyage,
would have been all that was neces
sary; and not a prolonged session.saa
dling a financial burden upon the tax
payers, and accomplishing nothing for
the benefit of the new commonwealth.
We quite agree with The Dalles
Times-M ountaixeer that the Repub
lican candidate for governor will be
elected next June. It is to be hoped
that Wasco county will do its share.
Other Eastern Oregon counties will do
theirs. Pendleton Tribune.
There is no doubt of Wasco doing
its full "share" in the election of the
Republican ticket; but how is it about
Umatilla, notwithstanding the "only"
Republican newspaper is published

THE SEALING QUESTION.
There are points worth considering
in Senator Plumb's bill to reulate the
Alaska sealing business, says the S. F.
liulletin. The success of his scheme
would depend very much upon the
character of tho agents representing
the government on the islands, and
the opportunities and temptation to
engage in crookedness would be great
On the other hand, the risk is certainly
less than in handing over the whole
business to a corporation which will
naturally go for all that is in sight, re
gardless of anv rights or interests but
its own. Undoubtedly a residence on
the seal island, except with the pros
pect of large cains, is not attractive.
A civil official stationed there pernia
nently, or for a 4-year term, might go
in for making hay while the sun shone,
to the prejudice of government inter
ests. Possibly it would be better to
put the islands under the charge of
naval or military officers, giving them
a short tour of duty there. These are
matters of detail for the mature con
sideration of congress. Under cor
porate control the rookeries have un
doubtedly been well protected, but, if
half is true that is told, that is about
I he only good feature of the situation
Seals have been slaughtered by the
thousand bevond the limits of the
rookeries. It does not appear that
the Alaska Commercial Company has
been a civilizing agency, nor has it
exercised its privileges in a liberal
spirit. It has probably done no worse
than any corporation would do under
like circumstacces. and risht there is
the reason for questioning the policy
of giving another monopoly lease to
that, or anv other company. The con
trol of the open water of Bahring sea
is likely to become a matter of nego-
tiation at an early day and its settle
ment will be facilitated by divesting it
of any complications arising from cor
porate claims.
A poor woman recently committed
suicide in New York city because she
could get no work by which to earn a
livelihood. She left a . note saying:
"There is help for all but the genteel
poor. Women who were so ignorant
that I felt sorry for them would not
take mc into their kitchen because I
could not show city references. I tried
to explain that I never had to work,
and because I was not born and bred
in the gutter, I presume I must
starve. Widowers who advertise for
housekeepers, and then gently insinu
ate that you add wifely duties to do
mestic arrangements, ere very plenty
in this city, but I do not approve of
such economy." Rather than live a
life of shame she took a leap into the
unknown eternity, and nothing is
known of her sufferings except this
letter found in her miserable
garret She was undoubtedly a lady
born and bred, and because she knew
nothing by experience of the rough
part of the life of the wage-earner, she
chose death and purity rather than
life and shame. Perhaps thi3 is only
one instance of many which happens
in latge cities every year, and only
emphasizes the fact 'of the lack of
charity of an unfeeling world, and that
the "genteel poor" are the poorebtjpoor
of all.
Nebraska is to make the experiment
of manufacturing beet-root sugar upon
a liberal scale, the city of Grand Isl
and having made grant of lands and
concessions as to local taxes to a com
pany which is to invest $500,000 in
buildings and plant And, as we un
derstand the report of the Kearney
Daily Enterprise, the legislature of
Nebraska offers a bounty of 1 cent per
pound upon all sugar manufactured in
the state. The results of the ex peri
ment are awaited with interest through
out the northwest. Mr. Claus Spreck-
els has demonstrated the profitable'
ness of the beet-sugar industry in
California, and it has been success
fully introduced in Kansas and Iowa.
VVe hope if the experiment is success
ful every state in the northwest will
begin the manufacture of sugar, as
we need all the manufacturing indus
tries we can possibly inaugurate.
During the present winter there will
be no heavy losses of stock in Wasco
county, although iu Umatilla and less
favored counties the losses will be
heavy. At any rate this portion of
Eastern Oregon no longer depends
upon cattle horned or or otherwise
and the people have a greater source
of wealth in the wh'at output. From
all information we can gather the win
ter has been the'most favorable towheat
of any for a number of years, and if
the citizens of The Dallas would open
the river by means of opposition boats
the flest from this portion of the Inland
Empire will send its products to the
ocaen. The present year is one of the
most golden promises for this vicinity,
and if our business men do not in
crease their wealth an hundred fold
the fault will lie at their own door.
The Eenate committee on naval
affairs has decided in presenting a bill
before the present congress asking for
an appropriation for the construction
of a line of naval ships like the
English Benbow. The United States
have a long line of coast both on the
Atlantic and .Pacific seaboard to pro
tect in case of war, and it is only
necessary precaution to prepare for
any emergency, it is not imejy tnat
we shall - be involved in dispute
with any nation on this, continent;
but in our complications with Great
Britain on the questions of the New
Foundland fisheries and the open and
closed sea bordering rn Alaska, it is
well to be prepared to cope with a
powerful maratime country, .
Secretary Noble has very wisely
decided that married women can make
timber land entries or purchase such
lands in tl e stat8 of California, Ore
gon, .Nevada and wasningwn, pro
vided it is conclusively shown tha en
try is made for her own use and the
benefit of herself and husband jointly.
This is as it should be.and the progres
sive sentiment of this country and of
the present age will uphold it The
time has passed, and is a relic of the
barbarism of by-gone ages, when wo
men can only act through their hus
bands brothers or fathers. The hu
man race is only complete in the two
sexes, and each should have equal
rights with the other. A barbarism of
the past denominated woman the slave
of man; but the development of the
nineteenth century has placed woman
on an equal standing with the man.
The mother should be in everything
equal to the father, and the harmony
of the human race will only be com
plete when this is acknowledged.
It is strange that Democratic papers
in speaking of local matters are ardent
advocates of protection and believe in
developing every industry; but in na
tional affairs decry the idea of keeping
the money at home, and say the true
theory of economy is to buy in the
cheapest markets and sell in the dear'
est If protection is good for a city,
county or btate, it is good for the na
tion at large; and if money, as a rep
resentative of wealth, is good for an
individual, it is for a state or country.
We do not know how our democratic
brothers feel about the matter. We
would rather have had the price of Bar
nun's Jumbo in the bank than Jumbo
himself.
Every town in the northwest is pre
paring for a grand influx of popula
tion and a great stimulus to industries
which are intended to develop the re
sources of the northwest, and The
Dalles will not be behind sny city.
With all her natural advantages she
will enter the race this year with all
competitors, and can furnish the best
inducements for capital of any point
in the northwest. Shakespeare has
said, "There is a tide in the affairs of
men, which, taken at its flood, leads
on to fortune:" and 1890 is the flood-
tide for The Dalles. Will wo take ad
vantage of these grand opportunities.
Idaho should be admitted as soon
as possible. It is a country of well-
known resources, and would add
glory and honor to the sisterhood of
states, It niakt.8 no difference
whether it would be Democratic or
Republican in politics, it is not right
or in any manner consistent with free
institutions to keep the infantile
clothes on commonwealths too long.
The mines in this portion of the north
west are equal to any state in the
union, and, aside from the Mormon
plague, Idaho would make as fair a
state as any.
It is very advisable that the work
of completing the locks at the Cascades
should be let by contract, and not
be continued under control of the
war department If our representa
tives would be a unit in this matter
we are satisfied in a very few years
boats would be running through the
canal. Tha boards of trade of the
cities on the Columbia might accom
plish wonders in this direction if they
would present the matter in the shape
of a petition. Will The Dalles take
the lead in this matter -
The chief newspaper organ of the
Dominion at Halifax advises British
Columbia sealers in Behring Sta to go
armed and resist seizure by American
cruisers. A little bloodshed, it thinks,
would arouse Great Britain to action.
Some of the sealers have made some
talk to that effect, but thus far have
had too much sense to act on it The
organ probably wants to make a point
in Dominion politics by a little blow
ing. England has other business on
hand than quarreling over Behring
Sea.
Americans abroad spent $100,000,-
000, last year while foreigners whocame
to this country brought $10,000,000,
leaying a balance against us of $60,000-
000. This is hardly a fair division of
the wealth of nations.but then this is a
rich portion of the earth's surface and
our citizens enjoy sight seeing, and
whose business is it? Perhaps free
traders will call this waste; but it
can't well be avoided while there are
so many attractions in Europe.

The Democratic press are deter
mined to have Gov. Pennorer renom
inated. They may succeed in placing
him before the people of Oregon next
June; but the Btate will elect a Re
publican governor, and any hopes to
the contrary simply illustrates the
extent of the Bourbon imagination.
The Democrats in the lower house
of congress are preparing a plan of
obstruction, by which they hope to

out to its fullest extent rule or ruin.
The provisions of the new extra
dition treaty agreed upon by Lord
Salisbury and our minister at London
will, if ratined, have no ettect upon
the American boodlers now resident

further additions to the colony as they
cover about all the cases in which
these gentry seek refuge in the do
minion. They will also tend to make
crimes against property less common
by rendering escape from justice dffi
cult. The convenience of asylums in
Canada has really been a premium
upon dishonesty.
Washington City has been making
a slate for Oregon, as if the citizens of

the recent failures -n Xacoma are
due from a lack of substantial basis
in business. The increased value in
real estate may cause business men to
thrive and prosper for a while; but to
insure permanency there must be a
change of commodities for coin, and
this must have its foundation in some
home industry. Labor is the basis of
all values, and the product of this
must be exchanged for its representa
tive in coin for any community to
thrive and prosper.
Tho diguity with which the colored

THE SEATTLE BANK BOBBER.
Seattle, Jan. 28. The bold desperado
who robbed the faro bank, in the Elite
gambling house of $200 at the pistol's
point . yesterday morniog, afterwards
shooting Dick Richards, an attache of
ibe game and then shootiog at a deputy
sheriff who attempted to arrest him, was
captured by the police in a lodging house
on Grant street bridge at 7 o'clock this
morning. After escaping frciu the officer
at the race track last evening, the des
perado returned to the city. He stopped
at Fisher's lodging bouse, on the Grant
t-trect bridge, and asked for a room. This
was gtyen him and he went up stairs.
His actions were so suspicious and his
appearance was so similar to that of the
desperado as described, that the police
were notined. ibey immediately sur
rounded the house and guarded bis room
all night. At 7 o clock this morning
was ordered to come out and surrender.
He attempted to jump from a window
but was driven back by officers who
guarded it
.Finally the officers broke into the room
and arrested him as he was holding a re
volver to bis side as if to kill himself,
After arrest he said his name was David
Dence, that he was a Frenchman, 20 years
of age, and that he recently came to seat
tie from Montana. He explained the
robbery by saying he hr.d lost all his
money gambling, and wauted to borrow
enough to buy clothes so be could make
a respectable appearance and earn money
to pay it back. He was taken to the
county jail.
The grand jury is now in session am

not much in his favor.
CHICAGO POLICE PLOT.
Cuicaoo, Jan. 28. The socialist and
anarchist societies of this city were great
ly excited over what they believe to be
huge conspnracy of the police against
them. A short time ago .Detective Chas,
Noidrum was arrested and fined for
alleged unwarranted assault on a man at
a socialist meeting. Several socialists
took the matter up and demanded Nor
druni's dismissal. It is claimed now that
the detective went to one of those inter
ested In the prosecution to purchase
leniency and proposed to give up inform
ation concerning the operations of the
police, and to show I hat a certain sup
posed cnampion or the anarchist cause
was really in the pay of the police for
the purpose of creating, by wild utter
ances, a popular prejudice.
It is claimed now that Mordrutn fur
nished fourteen reports from this spy
who is Henery Dammeyer, a man who,
since 1886, ha been one of the most ag
gressive anarchists iu the city. At the
meetings none were more rabid in utter
ances than he, and it is now alleged that
he would thus induce others to echo his
sentiments and then report them to the
police. All this evidence wag laid beiore
the mayor, and the result was an order
issued to-day suspending Nordrum pend
ing an investigation into his alleged
treachery. The mayor and police cm
ciala refuse to talk on the subject.
A PREACHEB'8 REVOLTING CRIME.
Ottawa, Ont- Jan. 28. The govern

the most revolting revelations ever
brought to light in Canada. A young
tjnurcn or England clergyman in a popn
10U8 iiarisn in Western Ontario was
brought before a magistrate on a charge
of debauching small boys. The evidence
was so revolting that it cannot be print
ed, but showed that he had debauched no
less than twenty boys of tender age. He
was sentenced to three months in jail, the
severest penalty that could be inflicted, as
me law stands. The government will
take the matter up with a view of inflict
ing more severe punishment.

one of the witnesses for' lLj defence in

Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla;
Schenttler, as a result of an alternation in

several friends, including Alderman Mc
Cormick. According to Schnetteler's
friends McCormack made some uncom

cigar into Schnettler's face. The latter
was about to resent the action, when Gib

captain a terrific thump on the jaw. He
was aboutto repeat ii when Schnettler
pulled a revolver and fired. McCormick
denies his reputed connection with the

LOST IN THE GRAND CANYON.
Denver, Jan. 28. From information
recieved here to-day it appears that the
second exploring expedition which left
here November 25 to survey a railroad
line through the Grand canyon of the Col
orado has met with a fatal accident. The
following letter, dated Yuba City, Ariz.,
Jan. 21, has been lecieved from A. A.
Nims, photographer of the expedition: "I
was badly injured in Marble canyon three
weeks ago and nearly killed. My right
leg was crushed from the knee to the
loot. I think three of the other men
were killed. 1 have been crazy since
then, so they tell me. I am now on my
way to Denver tor treatment."
The first expedition to go down the
canyon was organized and left here
January 25. 1889, under command of
Frank M. Brown. This party made their
way to about twenty miles below Lee's
ferry, where their boat capsized in the
rapids, and Brown and two men were
drowned. The remainder of the party re
turned to Denver and a second party left
here at the date mentioned, with Robert
B. Stanton as chief engineer. A letter re
cieved from Stanton, at Lee's ferry.
Christmas day, stated that the men were
an well, and there was every indication
or going through without accident.

Gladstone, the leader of English liberal
ism, has been 80 years a human being and
57 years an officeholder. In that time be
has been for establishment and disestab
lishment. He has been protectionist and
he has been a free trader. lie has favored
government grants to sectarian enter
prises and be has been an opponent of
all those grants. He has been tor tbe
English slaveholders in Jamaica and he
favored tbe measures which ended hu
man chattlehood wherever Hies the Eng
lish flag. He has opposed the extension
of the ballot to tbe common people and
be has in. turn enlarged the bounds of
suffrage so as to make tbem well nigh
universal. 1 He has condemned the inter
ference ot England in Oriental affairs and
carried on, behind a mask of protest
agaiust Jingoism, the most rapacious
campaign of conquest in Egypt and
Afghanistan that England ever waged.
He upheld the rights of the Boers to
their freedom, and be then overwhelmed
them with conquering troops. He long
maiuiaineu me Jpucopal church in Ire-
and, and then be overthrew it with bus
tile legislation. He went to almost Crom
wellian extent into the coercion of Ire
land, there suppressing free printing, free
specu,iue ngiu oi petition and of poou
lar assemblies: there throwing tbe lead
ers of tbe nation into jail for the crime ol
dtsiring human rights, and toward the
same country he baa favored home rule.
home parliament and a measure of polit
ical autonomy which, in all but name,

Macau ley. as "Tbe rising young hope of

sought to secure the recognition and the
armed establishment of tbe confederate
experiment, to tbe end that Englan
might maintain relations with a govern
ment of aristocracy in the south confront
ing a government of democracy in the
norm, it cnangeabiitty is inconsistency,
Mr. Gladstone has been tbe most incon
sistent man that ever lived. If a repudi
ation ot old principles and a constant
courting ot new ones is to be called pro
gressive, Mt. Gladstone has been tbe most
progressive human being the world has
ever teen
He was first elected to parliament in
1833 from tbe borough of Newark. In
that body he urged the right of Jamaic
slaveowners to compensate and put him
self on record as an implacable church
and university man. In 1834, under Peel
as premier, be became junior lord of the
treasury, but the cabinet went nut of of
fice on tbe question ot voting subsidies to
the Episcopal church iu Ireland, Mr.
Gladstone supporting the grants. He re
mained a minority member until the re
torn of Peel to power in 1841, when be
became vice president of tbe board of
trade and master of tbe mint. It was
then that Gladstone faced tbe ruing tide
for tbe repeal of the com laws with a bill
for a sliding scale of corn duties which
tbe great Cobden denounced as "an in
sult to a suffering people.''
In tbe sane session Mr. Gladstone
torced to passage a measure ot bis own in
which out of 1,200 duty-paying articles a
total abolition or a considerable reduc
tion was made in 750. At this time his
unsurpassed mastery of detail was shown,
"bis ability to make statistics eloquent."
In 1843 be abolished the restrictions on
the exportation of machinery. Tbe next
year be carried tbe measuie to broaden
railway service for the people. On tbe
top of these popular measures he voted
for tbe "Maynootb improvement bill,"
yet admitted that "exclusive support to
tne estabiisnea cuurcn was being more
and more abandoned every day'
In 1840 perhaps tbe noblest service ot
Mr. Gladstone's life was rendered to the
repeal of tbe corn laws. In which be stood
only less conspicious than Peel, Cobden
and Bright Wheu tbe great Sir Robert
resigned office at tbe close ot that parlia
ment it was a singular fact that be went
out on the ministers defeat in an en
deavor to pass an almost inhuman Irish
coercion bill.' Tbe homes of Englishmen
bad been made brighter by untaxed
bread. The homes of Ireland were to be
darkened' by the shadow of despotism.
Air. uiausione supported coercion as
he favored free food. Smalt wonder is
that Peel wished to ascribe bis defeat not
to coercion but to the resentment of pro
tection,
From that time onward Mr. Gladstone's
career coincided with the present genera
tion, and has been made familiar to it,
Surviving Russel and Palmerston, be be

liberals. Surviving Disraeli, no foeman
