Peace Tariff VS.. War Tariff.

Let us ask The World if tariff bill
that puts over hundred articles on the
free list and reduces the duty by 40 per
cent: on the articles that are retained can
honestly be called 40 per cent tariff re-
duction billr Let us ask another ques-
tion: Cannot bill that puts 100 articles
on the free list be called, in part at least,
free trade measure?-Albany Journal
a. The Mills bill does not reduce the
duty by 40 per cent" 1t reduces it only
10 per cent, or per cent, less than the
Republicans proposed to reduce it in 1882.
~ Any bill that does not tax everything
imported is in part at least free trade
measure" All our tariffs have had free
list. That in the Mills bill simply adds q
few necessities to the long free list which
is part of the present Republican tariff
law. But a tariff which levies duties
averaging 20 per cent on two or three
thousand articles, including pretty much
everything manufactured in this country
which claims or needs protection, can bC
called free trade measure only by thost
who use language falsely, with intent tC
deceive.-New York World.

Senator Blair is at his propositions
again. Now, he wants the president to
open negotiations with Great Britain, the
main object of which shall be to settle all
differences relating to Canada by ''politi-
cal union;" that is, annexation. Our
opinion is that we might as well wait for
such proposition to come from the other
side. but from the point of view of Sena-
tor Blair and large part of the party to
which he belongs we see several serious
objections to his scheme. In the first place.
1t would result in absolute free trade be
tween the present states and Canada If
that would be destructive to the interests
of these states or any of them now it
would be equally SO then, and they may
naturally be expected to object Then it
would settle the fisheries question by that
infamous plan of admitting the vessels of
Maine and Massachusetts to all privileges
in Canadian ports in return for the ad
mission of Canadian fish to our markets
free of duty, and we have heard that that
would inevitably destroy the Maine and
Massachusetts, fisheries. What will Port
land and Gloucester have to say to such
q proposition? Besides, Mr.. Blair should
remember that Canada is fairly infested
with Jesuits. and to his mind there is nc
more fearful wild fowl than your Jesuit.
Would he take those dangerous creatures
into the Union?-New York Times.

velopes, asking for aid, which will be
handed to the general public, hoping
that with what money they can secure
in this way, and what they can raise
themselves, to meet all present

Five hundred feet of new hose, re-
Gently purchased by the corporation
for the Independent Fire Company,
were tested on Christmas day, and
worked to the full satisfaction of the
fire department and the Town Coun-
Gil. The steamer worked spiendidly,
and with eleven hundred feet of hose
carried water from Evitt's run up
Main street to a point very nearly
to Charles street. After passing
through this length of hose, a good
portion of the distance up a heavy in
cline, the water was elected from the
nozel with apparently very little less
force than when using only a single
length of hose. Another link or two
would enable our firemen to cover two
solid blocks of the mostvaIuabIe prop
erty in the town, from a never-failing
water supply-Evitt's run.
