CAUGHT IN OUR Own TRAp.--English ami
Scotch capitalists, moved by Mr.. Cnrnesie's
example, have made up their minds TO use
the American tariff for all il is worth. The
millions which Mr.. Carnegie, Scotchman,
has rung out of the American consumers,
has not failed TO excite the attention Of his
.brither Scotch, nor TO awaken the cupidity
Of the lordly English. Mr. Carnegie built
Cluny Castle, his Scotch home, with money
our tariff rendered possible to him. Then,
too, his magnificent bcque.u, to Scotch chsri-
ties, all of which were got out of the prOtec
tecive tariff. is another lesson going to show
how plain the way is made by our Protec
tive policy for foreign capital to come in
and get the benefit Of prot ctien again meri
can-born consumers.
The Baltimore SIM Of the oath tells us
that syndicate Of English capitalists is
negotiating for the purchase of all steel works
in and about Pittsburg Mr.. Nimick Of the
firm Of Singer. Nimick Co., tells of offers
to buy a controlling interest and other large
owners admit thot ncgotiaiiops nre pending.
Should the transfer Of ownership take place
il would be but a repetition Of what has
recently hsppened to various large Amcri-
can mills and breweriss. These industries
and others have passed into the hands of
English and Scotch capitalists, who will use
our American tariff fer all it worth.
The SIM correctly puts il when il says:
1.-The English capitalist will benefit, OF
course, hy his investment in American in
lustries in any case. 1t our taria is kept
high he will make money hC;c, and his mills
and factories in England will continue, on
the free trade basis, 70 hold the open mar.
kete of the world. On the other hand, if
we should reduce our 'arif aud capture the
world markets he will be here among us
to share in our prosperity. IL is for the
mnsses Of cur people the BUYERS while pro-
Jucers are looking out for themselves ex-
clusively, to consider what policy will leave
most cash in their own pockets"
But before this condition Of things, we
wonder what protectionists will have to say
now about British gold.
When foreign bought monopolics furnish
the fat for the blocks Of five who elect our
Presidents, what becomes of the free born
American then? Isn't il about time for the
rlain American Freeman to ask himself to
what all this is leading 81 fM. RCg,Stcr.

the river and found the bateau lodged
against n tree or raft near the main current
as the water was all over the bottoms. They
went in and managed to rescue Miss Little

was quite narrow escape for all three Of
them.
There was quite n pleasant croquc: party

TRUsTs on TRUsTs.-The sugar trust has
sent the price of sugar up three and a half
cents pound, and will probably send it
higher. The sugar trust and the warehouse
trust have combined. The New York
Ueraid Of the 10Th SAYS:
"For more than two months past the trust
hiss been rushing the storage of sugar with
the Warehouse Trust, and to-day there is
ssarcely a dry, clean, available warehouse
on the Brooklyn water front that has not
some refined sugar stored in it.
From oil that can now be learned ut
least three hundred thousand barrels of su-
gar arc now locked up in Brooklyn ware
houses, tho value of which ut present
prices is something enormous, and it il
likely to be still more unless tho trust
scheme is foiled by the wholesale and retail
grscers aud the public"

The CASADIAN QUEsTIoN.-Washingto
July 2j.--Senator Wade Hampton. who
haa just returned from visit to Canada,
said To- lay:
The annexation question is one that is
being very seriously considered by the
Canadian authorities, and it is conceded by
them tha; there must be some kind of settle
mGnt OF the question in the near future,
either by commercial union or by re-
ciprociIy treaty, which will bind the two
countries into II closer aud more liberal
business as ociation.
10 put of such All agreement will only
increase The friction engendcrsd by the
fisheries troubles AMI the transportation
question. The Catholic element, however,
mainly composed of French and half bree Is,
will strongly oppose any annexation scheme
whatever.
Senator Hampton reports the Canadians
well posted on the fishery question and
favorable to Mr. BayardS treaty, and says
if any serious complications grow out of
that question the New England Republican
Senator'S will bo TO blame.
