The great majority off' people run away
-with the idea that the possession of much
wealth insures much Happiness, and every
nerve is strained'. in order to acquire
wealta, not matter by what mean S. It is
iuyaribly the case that When people de
vote themselves exclusively to the gather=
ing of riches, their nattire becomes morose
as:their selfishness is developed, 'and what
:
should have proved a souree of happiness,;
if properly +led; has turned out the heavi
est curse. No name has been more pro-
minent in the United States for, years,`,
than' that of Jay Gould and as he is
aliou to retire from active life, the Ante
erican papers- are passing their opinion
upon himHe has lived mainly for hint

arod t.the.,following extra6f-ftotin'tlieisTew;
York Star is true, and doubtless it is, it
teaches a lesson which should not be. lost
sight of amid the activities of life. ft'says:;
"He quits business to save what is left
to him of ;lite. The story"' of this ;man's
career Is stranger than a romance: He
has been a scarcely -mitigated curse •to
this city and State ..and country, utterly
conscienceless -and un -scrupulous iii; the
use'of'potvers limos t" unequalled. He has
done more to demoralize: financial .op,-
erations. and railway management and'
-specul'a'tions in stocks than any, other ten',
nen. He seems to.have organized • die
honesty. I Be has accumulated a vast' pro-
perty and . nothing else. And now, in
what should he the prime of his'life,• he'is'
forced to let go, his hold and beat a hasty
retreat `to' escape from the grave -digger.
Andlprettymuch everybody is glad of it.

• THE. leading ,United States papers are
.calling attention to the fact that in future
elections -there, a single issue will take
precedence,--the reduction of the tariff,:
After several years' experience --=as we are
finding here -that industries forced •into
existence by the exaction of, high duties
are no benefit to a nation." .A protective
tariff is responsible ,for greater.iniquities
and more gross injnstice''than the most of
people have any conception 5f,'and the
people who toleipte'such are guilty of a
rnoritl. wrong;:.the extent" of which can
• hardly be estimated..
