II is so much the customary Thing to
regard Great Britain as nnapproaehsble as
a marine power. that il is quite surprising
to earn that in fghting vessels of the
first and second class, the British navy is
inferior to the French. Itseems there are
Just thirty-six ships of these classes in
the navy of each country. bat the average
weight Of the guns car led by the French
ships is forty tons, %hile the English can
only show guns averaging thirty I'VE tons.
To i axe The matter'worse, all the French
and only half Of the English guns are

Protection or free trade, is the way
the republicans put the tariff issue. Sub
sidy to the manufacturer or Justice to the
consumer, is the way the people win see
the issue when they 60 to the polls. Pro-
lection doesn't cut any figure in the issue
as 1t is made now. 1t is question Of war
taxes and not of protection. The existing
taxes is on an average 30 per cent. higher
than the original protective tariff devised
by Morrill, and made law by the first
republican congress. Now the democrats
do not ask for decrease of more than q
per cent. of the 80 per cent increase OF
the Morrill, tariff, put on wholly to yielc
war revenue. A tariff that is 10 pc
cent higher than the tariff regarded
ample protection more than twenty year
ago is long way off from free-trade
Our infant industries were nearly quar-
ter of century younger when the Morri
tariff was passed, and they surely do nc
need more protection now than was re
garded as entirely sufficient then.

THE WHEAT CROP.

A great deal has been said AID written
about the wheat crop, There is no need
of any one growing uneasy, for there will
be plenty of bread stuff grown The com
ing year Illinois will fall off about 25
per cent, leaving crop of at least 35,-
600, 0C0 bushels Indiana will come
nearly up to the average, and will harvest
crop of nearly 100000 bushels.
Ohio will do equally as well Iowa viii
come up smiling with almost an average
crop Spring wheat in Minnesota, Wis
consin, Northern Iowa and Dakota looks
well, and promises a good yield. Kansas
and Nebraska are not behind an averag e
yield. After the people of this country
are supplied we win have for export
nearly 200, 0O009 bushels This is a
great country, and will always produce
more than its population can consume,
The great trouble with the people is, not
on account of the fear of the failure of
crops. but how 10 get rid of the false
value sci by spectators upon bread stuff.
