to prove it. That has not been done. and some

TARIFF REVISION BY FREE TRADERS.
The position of Republicans in regard to the
tariff bill which Mr.. Randall will offer to-day
or any other which may be offered in the
House, Is exceedingly clear and simple. The
special provisions of tits or that measure
whether some are very good or some very bad,
do not need examination. The reasons for THIS
statement are easily given, and will be con-
vincing.
The character of this'House is now known. 1t
is determined that only seventeen less than
clear majority of its members insist upon free
trade bill. 1t is certain that any vote to con-
slider any tariff bill whatever would open the
door to changes in direction hostile to Ameri-
can industries With absolute control of the
committee having charge of all bills relating to
the tariff, the compact body of fieetrade MEM
bers would be aided at times, in action upon
proposed amendments. by fragments of the
Randall faction, giving them majority IN The
House. Thus they would surely shape any bill
to their liking, or else kill 1t. There is not the
slightest chance, therefore, or getting any good
thne out of this House. Whether there il any
danger of getting bad bill passed or not, if
the consideration of the subject is permitted at
all, there is certainly no chance of getting any
good bill passed.
But continued agitation is in itself curse to
al! industry and business. 1T ought to have
been stopped within week after Congress met,
when q careful canvass of members proved
that a majority of the House was ready to OPP
pose any trade revision. Or rather 1T
ought to have been prevented by the people,
who we're not true to their own interests when
they permitted the election Of Democratic
majority in the House. The agitation has
already cost the country many millions. The
loss would now be the greater if the agitation
shonld be renewed, because industry and trade
have begun to revive. That agitation ought TO
he stopped at once, and beyond the possibility
of doubt. If there were some chance of getting
desirable amendments Ut the tariff, as there is
not sill the agitation ought to be stopped, be-
cause it does more harm than such desirable
amendments could do good.
Hcnce the byious duty of Republican men,
bers is to prevent tariff tinkcriug of any k nd.
until the House has majority friendly tn
home industries. When the people want such
a House. they will elect it. REVISION of IA
protective tariff by foes of all protection would
be an absurdty. To permit it would be an act
Of suicidal folly.

ENGLISH AVD COLONIAL MARRIAGES.

ENGLISH AVD COLONIAL MARRIAGES.
The defeat once more Of the deceased wifes sister
bill IN tine House OF Lords has called out some
sharp comments from portion of the Canadian
press, and it must be admitted that the existing
state of the law involves confusion and must ce
not at all to the credit of the Home Governments.
III, Toronto Globe SAYS of marriages with tie
sisters OF deceased wives 1" The practical hardship
OF the present state of things very great hese
marriages are legal in most of the colonies. and the
consequences such these A woman Is an
honured wife in Canada or Australia but should
she have to return home with her husband TO
Britain she is nothing but cOncubine Her chill
drcn are legitimate where they are born, but they
cannot have a iartnng's worth of property In The
United Kingdom. and sLomld they dare to return 20
the land of their fathers they would be treated
nothing but bastards and outcasts. lot only 80,
the Queen, as sovereign, mas given her sanction to
such laws in the colonies. her nsters for the time
being have also approved of them, and yet not
British subject could contract one OF these mar
rsges and lead about the wife thus made
through any part of the British En- pre with either
honor comfort"
The Globe brings ont this familiar argument
with special Gle lrness The anomaly Is a
species OF injustice emnently calculated to breed
bad feeling in the colonies. Considering that so
much being said IN these days OF the federation
of the BRUSH Empire. some effort sionld be made
to harmonIze home aud colonial laws. especially in
regard to matters having such complicated and
grave bearings both upon social standing and in
heritance. As the case stands the British Govern
ment IL in a thoroughly nlefensibe position for it
recognizes as English law two damrtrIcally OPP
posite propositions. The is the more llagrant
because there never has been any warrant for the
law which obtains in Eng,an but all alleged
principe; and hat principle cannot be sound in
one part Of the Empire aud unsound in another.
The truth probably that the House of Lords, IN
refusing pass the deceased wlfes sister bill. had
neither reason justice in its mind, but acted
simply upon blind prejudice.
