...this were done there would be no protection left and no trouble-some surplus. The proposed revision of the tariff would not reduce the revenue in the least. All articles which do not compete with our manufactures are already on the free list, and no reduction could possibly come from this source. The true nature of protection is shown by the threat made by every protected industry to smash the whole system if the duties on its products are reduced. Here is no thought of patriotism, or of the condition of the laborer; all is self-interest, which does...
...lecture. Of course we take it for granted that these men have been taught how a gentleman should behave; but perhaps they consider themselves already to have reached man's estate.

Mr. Gordon then delivered a short sermon, taking as his text, "Seek and Ye Shall Find." A portion of the speaker's remarks were substantially as follows: "Many men come near certain moral truths in the course of their lives, but because they are not in search of these truths they slip by unheeded. It is of inestimable importance we learn early in life to develop our faculties for seeking only what is good. But it is necessary to devote...
