Whatever progress in industrial strength the
Republic has made In the last seventeen years
is attributable largely TO the influence of a firm
adherence TO the protective tariff policy. Dur
ing the most of the time, the Democratic party
has repeatedly attempted to reduce all the pro-
tective duties, and has assaiied all the states
men advocating those duties corrupt incom-

have had but two Democratic Congresses and
both OF them have made desperate attempts 10

Is now preparing for a renewed struggle at the

The Democratic stump orators tell you that
the Republican party is responsible for the fall
In coal, for the low price OF iron, and the small
demand for both. The Republicans might as

vests that the world ever knew, which have re-
duced the cost of loaf Of bread far below what
any person ever dreamed of ten years ago. The
finest wheat is now selling at prices a third less
than what IL would have cost TO grow IL five
years ago, and corn IL only thirtyfour cents a
bushei. This Is not the result of Republican

Nor can L agree with yOu-dinering with full
Difference and respect-that the 'sbest European
thought is hastening' to the doctrine you ad-
vocate. In the three most enlightened and pow
erful nations of Europe-Engiand, Germany
and France-I question III single authority can
be found that would advocate, or even tolerate,
the idea of the government issuing paper money
and declaring 1t TO be legal-tender. France, un-
der the terrible pressure OF her war with Ger
many, never issued a single dollar OF paper
money, and she forced her great bank back to
specie pa yment as promptly a possi BILE after the
contest closed. The "best European thought,
so far as can read Its expression, ,contemplates
no paper money except that which is redeem
able in coin, at the will of the holder. III you
can give me any recognized authority in any of
these countries that advocates a different doc
trine, 1 shall confess myself obliged to you for
valuable Information.
There are thousands OF millions OF property In
the northern States dependent for its value upon
the maintenance OF public credit and the assur-

every man who has a deposit in a savings bank;
OF every man who owns State, municipal or
railway security; OF every man who has a policy
OF insurance on his house, or his ship, or his
life; of every widow or orphan whose bread is
derived from trust funds; OF every pensioner
whose fuel and whose food depend on the month

CONFLICTING LAND LAws-The Com
missioner-Generalo of the Land Office to
day November 18th addressed letter,
to the Secretary of the Interior asking
his construction of certain remarkably
inconsistent statutes which affect all
States and Territories containing Mexi-
can land grants. The act of 1860 pro-
vided that cost of survey of private land
claims should be paid by the govern
ment; an act of May, 1862, required
claimants to pay for their surveys; the
law of March 3, 1875, repealed the act
of 1862, but in the meantime the act
had been incorporated into the Revised
Statutes. The question now arises, did
the act of 1875 appeal this provision of
the revised statutes The commissioner
holds that as the rule of law on this
subject was repealed, but submits the
question for the secretarys decision. He
also submits the question whether the
clause attached to the appropriation bill
of 1876, providing that claimants be-
fore receiving patents. should reimburse
the cost of surveying their grants,
did or did not re-enact the old law Of
1862 with continuing force, or whether
this proviso applied only to expendi-
lures of the appropriation then made ?
The commissioner holds that it was of a
| permanent character.

Storm Warnings.

The mysterious lights in the gulf and
the Lower St. Lawrence, which are
firmly believed by the fishermen to be a
warning of great tempests, have, accord
ing to the Montreal Herald, been un-
usually brilliant this year. 1t is said to
be fact, established by the experience
of a century, than when these lights
blaze brightly in the Summer nights the
Fall is invariably marked by great
storms They give the appearance to
spectators on shore of a ship on fire.
The heavens behind are bright, and the
clouds above silvered by the reflection.
The sea for half mile is covered with
sheen, as of phosphorus. The fire it
self seems to consist of blue and yellow
flames, now dancing above the water
and then Pickering, paling and dying
out, only to spring up again with afresh
brilliancy. Ii a boat approaches, it fits
away, moving further out, and is pursued
in vain. The lights are plainly visible
from the shore from midnight until two
in the morning They appear to come
from the sea shoreward, and at dawn re-
tire gradually and are lost in the morn
ing mist.
Paradis, the French pilot who took
charge of the British feet under Admiral
Sir Hovenden Walker when it sailed up
the St Lawrence from Boston to seize
Quebec in l71l, declared he saw one of
these lights before that armada was
shattered by dreadful gale ON the 22d
of August. The light, he said, danced
before his vessel all the way up the gulf.
Everv great wreck that has taken place
since Sir Hovenden Walkers calamity
has been preceded, if tradition is to be
believed, by these mysterious lights-or
rather they have warned the mariner of
the fatal storm. When the gulf gives
up its dead there will be vast muster
In 1897 the French ship La Tribune
was lost with 300 souls; In 1905 the
British transport Naosa went down with
800; in 1881 the emigrant ship Lady
Sherbrooke, from Derby to Quebec, was
lost, only 80 out of 273 passengers be-
ing saved; in 1917 nearly 800 Irish emf
grants were lost with the brig Calrick,
and 240 more in the Exmouth. By the
wreck of the Hungarian 225 souls per
ished on the 10Th of February, 1860, 80
by the loss of the Canadian on the 4th
of June, 1861; and 337 when the Anglo
Saxon was lost off Cape Race on the
9th of April, 1868. Fishing boats and
coasters unnumbered have also gone
with all hands, leaving no sign.
This Fall, if tho lights are to be re-
lieved, and the Gulf fishermen say they
cannot lie, storms of unexampled fierce
ness from the autumnal equinox until
Winter is past will rage-Pall Mall

THE BALANCE OF TRADE.

The Chief of the Bureau of Stats
tics at Washington has prepared a
statement showing, by customs dis
tricts, the imports and exports during
January, and for seven months of the
current fiscal year. The exports of
merchandise exceed the imports dur.
ing January by $13,445,9o7, and in
the seven months by $135, 09,137.
Taking the figures for these seven
months as an average, the full
years record will show a balance of
trade in our favor Of over $4,000
900, with every Indication of large
yearly increase. A terse, matter-of'
fact statement like this is a sufficient
answer to the ragaries of the anti
silver organs, declaring that one
effect of the reconciliation of silver
will be to drive all the gold out Of
the United States. To the average
business mind it seems pretty clear
that while we are producing and
selling abroad $3.50, 900, 900 worth of
goods a year in excess of what We
buy abroad, there is no likelihood Of
the country being drained" Of any
kind Of money.
