The Madht's Military Resources.


The Madhi's military resources include
Is, 200 Egyptian regulars, who were origin
ally taken prisoners or deserted to tht
Mahdi's camp. II is not known, even a.
English headquarters in the Soudsn, how
many native warriors have joined NOLAN
med Achmed, but he possesses ornaments
for an almost unlimited number.
Besides the arms and equipments o.
Hicks and Baker Pasha's forces, which fel
into the hands of the enemy, the latter has
an enormous quantity of provisions and
ammunition, which the Egyptian Govern
ment had stored in SEMINAR, kordofsn and
Fachoda.
As far back as two years ago the Egyp
tian authorities at Cairo admitted that the
Mahdi had captured 80 field guns, 5,00(
Remington rifles. and 8 ZOO, 900 cartridges
Since then the gsrrisons of Berber, Sbendy
and Khartoum have capitulsted.
At Khartoum, also, the Mahdi found q
vast quantity of ammunition and 5000 to
5000 negro troops well armed. The rebel
army is also c~opiously supplied with siege
ar tillery. Both Sir Charles Wilson's and
Lord Charles Beresford's steamers wee
fred upon by heavy riverain batteries,
There ere q large number of Turkish and
Arab officers with the Mshdi. The BLACK
recruits are drilled by fugivives from
Arabi's army, and the Mahdi's artillery i;
worked by Turkish topskis, who are hel(
to be the best ma-ktmen in the world.

AMERICAN GRAIN.

The protective duties which have re-
Gently been imposed upon wheat by
France and Germany are scarcely likely
to diminish the demand for our grain.
The quantity consumed is almost fixed,
for people eat about the same number OF
loaves in bad as in good times. The
duty is merely protective, not prohibi-
tive, as in the case of pork. The pork
duty applies only to the hog products of
the United State; the grain duty to grain
imported from any foreign country. In
dividuals will have to pay more for
bread, and the prayer of all the Euro
pean Governments seems to be Deliver
us from cheap bread" Belgium. which
is exceedingly limited in its agricultural
resource. 5 now proposes also to protect
grain, which seems the acme of folly.
But in this case, as in all the others. the
duty is imposed for political reasons. in
order to capture the votes of the farmers
by enabling them to make some profit on
their crops. II crops are bad in Europe,
and war or some other disaster should
cause an increased demand for our grain,
the market here will quickly rise Of its
own accord. If, on the other hand, the
supply Of grain is fairly good abroad the
deficiency will have to be supplied by
the country that can do it at the cheap
est price. Chicago spectators can force
the price of grain as high as they ike,
but by so doing they can only brighten
foreign customers away, instead of at
tracing them. The question Of free
trade and protection does not affect us
appreciably in this matter. It may be
good or bad for the inhabitants of any
country to pay high prices for bread; all
VI have to consider and strive for is,
that if there is q demand We should be
able to supply it in preference to any
other country. which can be done, not
by playing sharp tricks in Chicago, but
by allowing grain to stand on its own
merits.
