POOLING THE FARMERS.
TIE WAY II Is PROPOSED TO
PROTECT THEM UNDER THE
MCKINLEY BILL.

PROTECT THEM UNDER THE
MCKINLEY BILL.
The farmers are told that the Nc
Kinley tariff bill was framed in their
interest, and i'll proof of this they are
referred to tue protection given them
by the increased duties on agricul
tural products. Let lis see how the
claim will bear investigation.
The duty on corn has been in
creased from ten cents to fifteen
cents per bushel in order to protect
the farmer from the importation of
''pauper labor corn" The total
amount of corn imported for the ifs.
cal year 1889 was 2,4O1 bushels.
The exports for the same time we're
6o,592,929 bushels. How thankful
the farmers ought to be for the in.
creased protection against foreign
corn?
On cornmeal tho duty has been
doubled, the present rate of ten cents
per bushel being raised to twenty
cents. The necessity of this addi-
tioEal protection is evident when it
is known that 376 bushels of corn
meal were imported last year, against
an export Of 312,1SG barrels.
Oats are to be protected by an in.
crease of duty from 10 cents to Is
cents per bushel. The imports of
oats were 22,310 bushels and exports
623, 226 bushels.
Rye will remain with only 10 cents
per bushel protection. This is wrong.
Sixteen bushels of rye came into this
country last year against 2s7, 522
bushels sent ont. There ought to
be protection against these IG bush
els.
The duty on wheat has been in
creased from 20 cents to 25 cents per
bnshel. The farmers will be CRATE.
full for this. Last year no less than
l3O,649 bushels of foreign wheat
came in to compete with the home
product, of which 6,414, I29 bushels
were exported.

LONDON, May 12.-Henry NJ. Stanley
is giving way to an exhibition of i'll
temper which discioses in his character
an element of egotism which threatens
to increase the number of his enemies
ii allowed to remain uncurbed. just
now he is complaining of the cowardice
of the public men and the press of Eng
land in not taking an aggressive posi-
ti0n against Germany in Africa at his
behest, and is inclined to belittle the in
tellectnal qualities of those who do not
agree with HIM in the matter of
England's Immediate domination Of the
lake and other desirable portions of the
interior. He admits, however, that
there is plenty of room in Africa for
both Germany and England, but thinks
that an English railroad should be con-
structed at once to connect the lakes
and place that region beyond the posi-
bility OF occupation by other powers.
Such railroad, he asserts. would open
the interior to trade, the value of which
can scarcely be estimated. He ex-
presses admiration for Maj. Wissmann,
but is disincined to speak of Emin, or
of his new expedition. Throughout the
interview in which Mr.. Stanley
expressed himself as above. he referred
to himself as an Englishman.

LONDON, May 12.-There was nota-
BILE gathering of free traders at the Cob
den club to-day, the occasion being the
presentation of all address to Thomas
Bayley Potter, Gladstonian member of
parliament for Rochdale. Mr.. Potter
for several years occupied the position
of honorable treasurer Of the club, and
is recognized as one of the highest au-
thorities on tariff matters in England.
The address was presented by Mr.. Glad
stone, who, in the course of his speech.
referred to the anti-Chinese LEGISLATION
i'll the United States. Owing to the AM
biguty Of the legislation On the Chinese
question. he said, he was not altogether
clear whether the American government
taxed Chinese that entered, or barred
them all out. Anyway, he thought that
the Chinese were to be dreaded more
for their virtues than their vices, which
he did not believe to be nearly SO extern
sIye OR fragrant as the grounds taken for
their exclusion alleged. Sr. Gladstone
said the free traders smustrecogniZe with
great disappointment how much ground
they had lost within the last twenty-five
years. MilitariSm, which was lying
like vampire over Europe, was respon-
sible for most of the mischief. but not
all, because free trade had receded in

OTTAWA, May IL. = The Middleton
fur scandal came up for discussion in
parliament to-day. Gen. Sir Frederick
Middleton, commanding the Canadian
militia, has been convicted by COM
mittee of members of parliament for
looting furs owned by Metis named
Bremner, valued at $1,000 or $1,000, dur
ing the late Northwest rebellion. The
report of the committee was presented
to the house, and provoked a heated
discussion. Hon. Edward Blake point
ed out the penalties which should
be Inflicted. In conclusion, he de-
nounced in unmeasufed terms the gen.
erals conduct, and said the government
should make him pay the whole value
OF the looted property and dismiss him
from the service. Sir AduIphe Caron,
minister of militia. defended the gen.
eral, and said it was only an error of
Judgment. He tried to palliate the Of
fence. Sir John Macdonald agreed that
1t was an error of judgment, but said
that the government, in the face of
everything, could not condOne the Of
fence. The report, which is virtually
the generals death warrant as far as
his future service is concerned, was
adopted unanimously. 1t is expected
that he will resign tomorrow.

lsh colonies. The great republic, he said,
had never accepted the doctrines OF free
trade. There was once kind of quail
fed progress toward them, which was
checked, and opinion became actually
retFogressiye. Still there was great
promise that the American free trade
party would ultimately triumph at the
polls. Regarding bi-metallism, he be-
lieyed that its advocates smelt there
in speedy rise in prices. 1t was a
movement in the direction of protec-
tiOn. In an interview subsequently,
Mr.. Potter declared 1t to be his convic-
ton that the tariff question would again
be the issue in the presidential cam
paign in America in 1892, when the
free traders, or tariff reformers, would
in all probability be successful.

Discussion of Plans for Improving
the Mississippi.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May IA
series of hearings upon plans for the
improvement Of the Mississippi river,
was begun by the senate committee on
commerce to-day. The members of the
Mississippi river commission, Capt.
Cowden, of Lake Borgne outlet fame,
and number OF other persons interest
ed in the subject were present. Gen.
COmStOck, chairman of the Mississippi
river commission, made statement OF
the work done by the commission, and
said the results had been favorable.
He opposed the Lake Borgne out
let scheme. In his opinion the
Eads jetties had not raised the bed of
the river. The levees had not raised
the bottom Of the river: but the high
water level has been raised somewhat
by levees. Il am in minority OF the
commissions" said Gen. Comstock; ''the
majority believe that the system of

LONDON, May 12.-In the house Of
commons this evening, Sir j. G. S. Kin
loeb, member for East Perth, asked the
government to allow the importation OF
store cattle from Virginia, which, he
claimed, were always free froni pleuro-
pneumonia. Mr.. Chaplin. president of
the board of agriculture, denied that
Virginia cattle were always free from
pleuro-pneumonia, and referred to the
reports of the American department of
agriculture in proof of his assertion.
On that showing the government could
not make an exception of Virginia cat
tie. Mr.. Ritchie, president of the local
government board, moved the second
reading of the local taxation bill, deal
ing with licenses to public houses. The
purpose of the government in propos-
ing that part Of the sums allOcated to
local finances be used for the purchase
of licenses was, he declared, to promote
temperance. He appealed to the tenn
perance party to recognize the existing
facts. Public opinion would not sup
port them i'll trying to reduce to beg
gary people who were doing legiti-
mate business. W. S. Caine (UnioniSt)
moved that the bill be rejected. The

not assent to a measure pro-
viding for the use OF public
money to build up liquor traffickers.
