than any other country on earth, in the
next quarter Of century will see that

the Baltic field lab0rer, who works for

IL is easy enough to tell what the
matter is,

products of the entire world. and every
thing the farmer has TO buy Is on

who when she was Free Trade Colony
was In everything which indicates ma

ia the race aluce she adopted PfoIec'
tiou, ---
In 1869 the Victorian revenue was
one million more, In 1888 " was one

In 1865 the imports into Victoria

In 1868 the exports from Victoria

In 1865, under free trade, Victoria

yesterday with an argument and an
apology. He made an argument In
support of the extraordinary ruling Of
Speaker Reed, and he made an apology
for the Republicans in Congress, who
since the organization Of the Republi-
can party have held exactly the oppo.
site doctrine. Major Mckinley also
confessed that he was ashamed Of his
own past conduct as lilllbuster, when
the Republicans were in the minority,

be safely counted against his present

TO make such an ass OF himself as TO
