Boston Herald'S article on the effect of the
Mckinley bill in Europe, the Halifax Her.
aid of this morning says: Whatever other
countries may do, we conceive it to be al
most imperative on Great Britain to take
decided action in the matter. The Nc
kinley bill has been passed with the vowed
purpose of coercing Canada into severing
her connection with the British Empire
and becoming part of the United States. 1t
is therefore, in its nature, an act OF war on
the British Empire to bring about dismem-
berment. viii Great Britain go on afford
ing her enemies the same trade facilities in
her ports she accords her own children? 1t
is case for discrimination az inst the

to the United States with perfect eoua-
nimity.
