Perhaps few people in Salem knew, it, or, if they did, atop to think that yes terday was the fortieth anniversary of the grat national tragedy of Washing ton' D. C. It was forty years yesterday-, March 14, since John Wilkes Booth - shot Abraham Lincoln to death in his box at Ford's theatre. It is just forty years this morning sinee the flags were at half mast and all the bells in the loyal north were tollng for the assas- sinated president, : - They have been -the most marvelous . forty years in American history. They mark the most remarkable development any country has ever known. It would almost seem that Abraham Lincoln bad laid down his life. that his native land might prosper. When he""died peaee had jnst oeefl restored. Half the country had been devastated by. civil war and the other half was mourning for its sons, staggering under a great debt and facing serious econom ic problems. The country had a popula tion of about 11,500,000. It is todav gtll enjoying a period of the greatest prosperity; it is the riehest country on earth and has a population of nearly 83,000,000. v To the ordinary man the ending of the war successfully would have f brought feelings of the greatest pleas ure and exaltation. The war was over. The Union had been preserved. Gloom had given away to light and hope. The draft bad been under way in a hundred towns when the newseame. It was stopped, and thousands in charge of proovst guards obtainetT their liberty. . There had been anxiety in a million homes. But the surrender had changed all this. And t was a triumph for Abraham Lincoln, if for any man. . Gloom of Fatalism. The gloom of fatalism seems to have settled on him. Lincoln must have heard of the surrender a short time before. Yet his face wore a mantle of more than usual melancholy, and those who knew Lincoln in his last days say that he went about his work with an indescribable sadness written on his face. The last speech of the president was delivered on -the evening of Thursday, April 13. . This speech was brought out by the general glorification which was going on. Indeed, this demonstration was in many respects remarkable. All the publie buildings were illuminated at night by means of eindles. All the houses were decorated by day. The president bal delivered a long "speech, to the multitude that thronged the White House grounds on the even iut of Wednesday, April 12. On Thursday night there was a mnh larger-7 crowd waiting to hear him. Knowing that great importance jwould be atatehed to his words the President had committed them to paper, and when he appeared on the portico was greeted with a burst of eheering. Mr. Lincoln conclude his Speech as follows: Ached the Band to Play i'Dixie." "Now, I am about to eMl upon the band for a tune that out adversaries over the way have endefcvored to ap propriate. But we fairjfr captured it yesterday, and the attJ rney general eave me his lejral opinion that it is now our propertv. So I ask trae band to play 'Dixie .' The thoughts, of Lin ' and his cab inet were more of thf future than the past. The last card pet meeting Lin coln presided over -nas held Friday, April J4, the day he "(was shot. It was Good Frday and EasWr Sunav promis ed to be the --'happiest the north had known for years. 4 - No One Is tow Alive. Not a man of thAe who were at the last Lincoln cabin et "meeting is now alive, it is know however, that the president spoke in C the kindliest way of General Lee, whoseYi example he believed would have a good 25 influence throughout the south. Generayl Grant also express ed himself in -a M imUr manner. The resident nrnrwuu.t.2 no harsh measure toward "the south. fJ H ny thought seemed to be the' 4l storation of the en tire country to ha'rmon,ou reiattonsnip. v iC- eral Grant -could not go to the theatre, aa it would disappoint the public very much, and finally, to oblige Mrs. Lin coin, the president consented to go." V v The President's CastomT It bad been the custom of the presi dent every evening after - dinner to stroll over to the war department and nave a tanc with Mr. a talk with Mr. Stanton. There was really : no necessity for his taking i noon, when the necessary changes i iuc will on lais-nartiemar' eveninir. But the habit of years was strong and the president went over to see Mr. Stanton, . "t. ; : ; There wetre several intoxicated sol diers about .as the president passed, and these sainted the president, who made no comment on their condition. the constitution to conform to the new amendment are being made. As it is not likely that the regular session of the grand lodge will be held in July, owing to the special session this week, it is expected that the election of of ficers scheduled for Julv will take plate : i. a. . iuci ivuiKu l vr iuuiu rruw morninir.

He said that he did not know whether an assas sin could succeed. He declared that he had every confidence in his guards, bnt he was certain that if he were killed the assassin would not get away with his own life. Thus with the gloom of fatalism hanging over him, the president went on to the "White House, where he re mained a short time with bis family, and then about 8:30 o'clock went to the theatre. ' 4 L !

In part General Drapes' said: f I am here today under peculiar circumstances. I hold no public office end seek none. The fact that' an old- time Rennblican principle seems in dan ger in the bouse of its friends is my excuse for occupying your time. ' Other policies, too, heretofore aeeeptea, may be in danger in these strenuous times, but I propose, to eonfine myself to the one which bas. more than any other, differentiated the Republican from the Democratic p"ty. 4 We used to hear from Massachu setts Republicans as well as those from other sections that - a protective tariff diversified industry and . kept np the wages of labor; and. in, fact, that it was one of the principal causes of our phe nomenal national prosperity. I believe so still, ljetteriy, however, we near, not ' only from Democrats, but , from some of our. own party who desire re vision, that the. tariff checks foreign trade; that it is responsible for trusts and combinations against the consumer, that it exists only for the benefit of few favored individuals: that our in dustries have outgrown the necessity for the indirect assistance wMeh it has given, they having become dangerous aggregations of capital that need to te restrained bv governmental pwer. Lo gical men who. believe these things be come Democrats, or, at least, free-trad- eirs, while some or itne illogical remain Republicans with Democratic tenden cies and nominal protectionists working for free trade, "Tbe anti-revisionist need make no explanations. His position is a logical one. The "present tariff has produce! or at least has been accompanied by great prosperity, while the last reyis ion downward caused dr was accom panied by a period of overwhelming adversity. Facts seem to argue for na. The burden of proof s to the contrary is on the revisionists. Origin of Tariff Revision Sentiment. "I befieve that this call for tariff revision is not of protectionist origin, but the reverse. The constant influence oi free trade precepts in our colleges, tne continual treading of editorials charging the tariff with increasing tbe cost of livingwithont crediting it wit it the higher waje and increased employ ment that it maintains; the talk of the gTeat advantages of competitive reci proslty (or free tirade on small scale); have developed among us a feeling sim ilar to that which existed in 1892 and may cause a similar result; very likely would if Massaenusetts alone were to be considered. "An examination of the rates, after revision is determined upon to see what changes can mot safely be made would of course be more sensible than changes without proper examination; but I sub mit that if it 5s necessary to bave an examination by experts to determine whether revision is needed or not, the demand is not yet sufficient to waifrsnt the disturbance that always attends St. "Mr. Lawrence s theory that because some American manufacturer may have cheapened their processes bv in vention and organization the tariff in their products should be lowered doe not appeal to me. Ia the first place it would take away the principal incen tive for making- improvements in in dustries depending upon protection, and in the second place improvements and methods of rtriranization developed bere if found valuable are copied abroad The foreign rodaeer would thus be come the principal one to profit by American invention, as duties on bis products won Id be lowered because of the cheapened processes, while the orig inal differences in the costs of produc tion would be restored by the foreign ers usiny our improvements with their chean labor. "Senator Lodge introduces a new element in the proposition to increase a competing articles are reduced, one of two things must happen. Either prices here will remain the same, and the for eigner save the duty, or prices here will be lowered, and importation Increased, unless the prices of domestic' producers are lowered. j- .)'!'" -J , "In the first ease the revision will help no one but the importer, as hap pened when eoal was temporarily placed on the free list, while the governmental revenue will suffer, making new taxes necessary in other directions.'

' 'A revision argument 'is frequently heard m private v conversation in the vicinity of. Boston. Our congressmen do not nse it because they know the dif ficulties attending legislation better than some of theic critics at home. .The argument or rather suggestion, is this; Why cannot the Republicans in congress, by caucus or otherwise, decide upon certain changes on which there would be substantial agreement, and carry them through by : a party ToteT "The difficulty is. first, that the ma jority of the Repeblieam senators and rerreeentatives are opposed - to revi sion; second, that there is no consensus of opinion as to what changes ought to be made if a revision is undertakes. and third, that party allegiance ia not , Bmil Carlson's Jaw Torn Off and It Is arc io do Kronr enonzn ia; noia men snouia nor pe . surprises, ir such a change is made, to see large forei'm im ports in this line, such as we have to meet in others. ; , . . Effect on Wages. "It seems to "me that byadvocating revision our representatives are break ing down, or in danger of breaking down, the main line of defense for our protective system, and for our present wage scale, which is higher than elae- wtere, and maintained higher by our4 tariff wall. With wages on the English' or continental level our manufacturers could genera.lv compete with the world on. a free trade basis, and each ap proach to free trade ean be. and natur ally will be, compensated for by a cor responding, lowering of wages here. . ir uam is 11 UT, B II fl jx 1 h IB true, and comes to be recognized as true by,, our mechanics and laborers, any narfr vfhst mtttttAm fp Inn will be defeated, and any man from this section that advocates it will not remain long in the halls of coneresa. Our masters may not always see elesrly and they may be more or less influenced by" prejudice against their emolovers: but let them once generally grasp the proposition that emrdovment wages and the tariff are bound np together, and our politicians' will be as iweak before tbem. as they were before a certain re ciprocity petition last fall, and with more reason. '"' Political Expediency Considered. seating to revision we are abandonintr our best defensive ground as protection ? . .... . . . isisl ir we were united in opposing it, it could not come during the present administration, and- certainly not till the Democratic party controls all branches of our government. If that time comes they will take the"respon-i fcibilitv. and the result will be a return of the party of protection to power leter, while if we revise we take the responsibility of disaster, and there will be.no other party for protectionists to turn to. ' If both parties compete for the free trade vote our onponents can beat as; and they propcrlv should, as tbey would act on logical linps. while we should have deserted the principles that have Heretofore i nun red our success, f ' Should the door be openell protec tionists cannot stand together as a whole as we might have done;, in op-i posing revision. Jtach section and each industry must protect itself as it bent can; the weakest must go to the wall; and I fear that we. shall have a result that will embrace more inequalities and give far mors reason for another revi sion than the present tariff, which is probably the most scientific and the best, fitted to the country's needs of any that we have had on our statute book. At any rate we have been pros perous under it and our business is ad justed to it. , - Practical Suggestions. "Party alignment cannot' be long maintained when party principles are not clearly defined. Mere preference for one set of men over another will not serve the purpose. It will be much better to place ourselves ia line with our nstional party and have 'A square issue whether we win r not. "This is not a mere academic dis cussion. It is already causing dissen sion if not division, in the Rennblican party. It may result in less employ ment aad a lower standard of living for tbe mass of our people, aad ia adversity or lessened prosperity for our great industries. Those who advocate revi sion are taking a grave responsibility more serious, I fear, than some of them realize., . "Some. of our representatives in the next house are not as yet committed.
