Democracy in France and England.


Emilio CASTELAR,, in North American Review.
In my opinion, the two nations which most
clearly represent revolution and evolution, are
France and England. France, by revolution,
has reached Q more perfect social state and
higher form Of government than England; but
how different the security OF freedom In the two
countriesi While In England parliament and
individual liberty run no danger, in France an
adventurer succeeds in obtaining numerous
partisans BY games of political juggling very
similar to those Of the circus prestidigitateurs,
or royal pretender, to whom it occurs to ask
service In the regular army, causes those demo.
cratic institutions to totter painfully, and easily
carries them onward to the verge of ruin The
evolutionary progress of England, from the time
when 1t came out of its revolutionary stage, iss
constant and gradual progress, does not attain
the dazzling brilliancy OF revolutionary progress
in France, but it Is not subject to
the same eclipses-that is to say, to the
same reactions How many times has reaction

THANKS DuE THE NEWSPAPERS.

The late lecturing tour of Henry M.
Stanley was beyond comparison the most
profitable ever made in this or any other
country. For one hundred lectures, CON.
suming between four and Eve months in
their delivery. the receipts amounted to
$Soo, 500, or IN average of something over
three thousand dollars . lecture. Of this
amount SOS 900 went for expenses, Major
Pond, SANKEY'S agent and manager,
fobbed nearly Is much more, and the great
explorer sailed for England about the
middle Of April with clear 100000 from
this source, besides the profits from the
additional sale of his book due to the ad-
vcrtising that the lecture tour gave it.
From his lectures and the profits on the
sale OF his book, Stanley will probably
have realized within the year not less
than quarter million dollars contributed
by the people Of the United States. The
price OF admission 10 his lectures was two
dollars. II 10 highly improbable that the
ahlest and most noted scientist of the age,

merits of his subject, dealing with matters

crowds Of half the size ct even one dollar

Stanley. on The contrary, had in his

TIN PLATE AGAIN.

Mr.. David A. Wells. the noted free
trader, has made contribution to the tin
plate controversy which is worthy of at
tention, q are his unwarranted and unjust
deductions. Referring to the provision of
the new tariff law, which allows rebate
of 80 per cent. Of the duties paid on tin
plate to be used in preparing home prod
ucts for export, he claims that this inures,
and was intended to inure chiefly to the
benefit of q gigantic trust.
He alleges that the Standard Oil Com
pany constitutes such trust; that it ex-
ports moro than five hundred million gal
Ions Of coal oil annually; that il imports
seven hundred thousand boxes Of English
tin, out Of which It manufactures some
forty million cans, and that the rebate on
this saves to that trust q, 500 900 year.
Then follows the argument that this re-
bate has the double effect of depriving the
federal treasury Of just that much revenue,
while at the Same time it gives tho oil TO
the foreign consumer free of that tar
which the home consumer is forced to pay.
1.-THE largest single consumer Of tin plate
in this country" says Mr.. Wells, sis in
this way privileged to buy foreign tins
for export free of this duty. in the face of
tariff imposed to encourage the consump-
ton Of American-made tim"
And then follows his characteristic
assumption that 1.-THE rebate clause was
designed particularly for the trust and its
demand" The best proof of the falsity of
this assumption is afforded by the fact
that . congressional committee was
specially provided for and has been ap-
pointed, Of which those two distinguished
Democrats, John G. Carlisle and Isham G.
Harris are members, to investigate and re-
port upon tho workings of the new tariff
law.
If the operation Of the law in this con-
nection be as Mr.. Wells represents, the
country can certainly trust this committee
to discover the fact, and the two houses of
congress to provide q remedy. But as
matter of fact this writer's structure rests
only upon an inference. From the gen.
eral provision for such rebate ION i'm
ported products used in the manufacture
Of goods for export" he infers that it is
claimed and allowed on tin plate imported
and used for castings to goods manu-
featured for export.
1t is open to question, and will be sub
ject for the congressional committee to in
vestigate and study, whether the law is
thus construed, and if so whether it is
proper to consider tin plate used for
making cans in which to transport coal
oil as an Imported product used in the
manufacture" of that commodity. Ifsuch
be the construction it would appear to be
a very strained one, which 1t is quite un-
likely congress will indorsc, but will
promptly correct. As well consider the
lumber in q packing box as used in the
manufacture of cottons, silks or velvets

COST OF FIRE DEPARTMENTS.

A controversy is going on in Portland
over the cost Of the fire department, and
il has elected much information as to the
experience of other cities, which possesses
considerable interest for Seattle. A dis
cussion of the subject cannot fail to have q
beneficial result, because il it be found

that ii is not unreasonable.
