Total Exports to
Exports. England.

Mr. Blaine professed much concern
because in 1889 "the balance of trade"
in our trade with Brazil was so much
against us. We bought $50, 600, 900 worth
of merchandise from Brazil, while that
country bought only $4,000, 900 from us.
From these figures Mr.. Blaine drew the
astounding conclusion that we lost $751;
900, 600 in Brazil in single year! Upon
the same basis he and his followers
ought to view with intense satisfaction
our "balance of trade" against En-
gland for the same year. In 1889 our
exports to England amounted to $780,
900, 900, while our imports from En-
gland were only sl7s, 800, 900. Whatpro-
tectionists call the balance OF trade in
our favor" ought here to be S2Ol, 721, 900.
According to Blaine's figuring we made
that amount in England in one year;
and this "shrewd and weather-wise
navigator ought certainly to exert him
self to increase such profitable trade.
How would some of his Brazilian free
trade do in this case? Although the
Brazilian duties ON farm products
which are to be removed are small, still
it is doubtless true that Blaine's free
trade will "open the market there for
another bushel of wheat and another
barrel of pork" Our farm products
will find larger sale there, but our
farmers must not expect too much from
the Brazilian market. There are only
about 1000, 900 inhabitants in Brazil,
% nly.eh9nt 4 ono 900 are whites.
The rest are Indians, negroes and
mixed races. England has a population
of about &c, 900, 900.

FLOODED YUMA.
Two Hundred and Fifty Houses
Crumble Away,
And Fourteen Hundred People without
Homes-A Lake Fifty Mile Wide
Great Loss of Life Re-
DOrted,

Over $50 houses in Yuma, Ariz., are IN
ruins from the flood, 1,4OO people are
homeless, not single business house
remains standing, and IT is feared that
hundreds of lives have been lost in the
ella valley. The telegraph wires are
down into the valley, and Us all
bridges are gone and roads are inn
passable, no reliable reports can be
had from there. The river above
town is seven miles wide, and be-
low the town in places the water COW
ers the country in one grand lake over
fifty miles across. The railroad COM
pany will not have the blockade raised
for west-bound trains for four days. and
it will be ten days or two weeks before
they can get east. The town has pro-
visions sufficient for eight more days,
and the Southern Pacific hotel is feed
ing a thousand people day. Reports
from Jaluno, fifteen miles above
Yuma, are to the effect that
the flood drove the people into
the trees, and many, becoming ex.
hausted from cold and hunger, dropped
into the water and were drowned. Re-
ports from reliable sources put the loss
of life in the valley anywhere from
thirty TO one hundred. All along tho
valley for two hundred miles every
thing is in desolation. Costly houses and
barns have been washed away like play
things, while stock and fences have
been carried down by the food,
leaving the country as bare as
desert, Men who ten days
ago were wealthy are now homeless
and paupers. Eighty miles south Of
Yuma, where five thousand Copopah ln-
dians live, the country is flooded for
eighty miles square, and as there ard
no hills for refuge, it is reported one
hundred Of them have been drowned.
The great valley of the Colorado is one
vast sea of water as far as the eye can
see in every direction, The river has
fallen six feet six inches in thirty-six
hours, and is now nearly at II standstll
The weather is thick, and
threatens heavy rains. The loss
in that county foots up over
81, 600, 600, OF which the railroad will
have to suffer to the extent of $3.50 600.
Old Yuma never will be rebuilt. Tho
town will go higher up the hills. No
word has been received from farther
than ten miles from town, and it is
learned that hundreds Of lives have
been lost up n" ella valley, which is
200 miles in length, Indian messengers
have been sent out, but have not as yet
returned. 1t is known that thousands
of cattle, horses and mules are drowned

Under the old tariff law artificial
teeth paid duty of 20 per cent In the
Mckinley law teeth are not mentioned;
and they are therefore taxed under
manufactures of porcelain" at so per
cent.
This way of increasing duties is one
of the old tricks Of the tariff makers.
An article is simply not mentioned, and
then it falls under the general clause
which places duty upon articles made
from the material of which it is COM
posed. :,
There is no reason why duty should
be imposed on teeth at all, fof our dent
lists have led the world in the depart
ment of dental science, and our manu-
facturers Of teeth have supplied nearly
the whole world and are said to have
grown rich at the business. The
probable reason for this increase Of the
duty on teeth may be seen from the fol-
lowing words taken from the Dental
Journal: "a demand has grown up in
recent years for the product Of an En-
glish manufacturer, for the reason that
these teeth possessed some advantages
for certain kinds of denturcs, especially
that of "bridge-work. This demand
evidently began to assume disagreeable
proportions, or no one would have heard
of an increase Of duty. The situation
is now such that It will be impossible u
procure these teeth without great din
Guilty and serious additional expense
The latter is not Of so much momens ~
tho fact that they will probably not b
,btainable here at asy price"

SENSATIONAL INCIDENT.

just as Rev. Father Frederick, of St.

rushed down the aisle, tripped lightly

neck, exclaiming, "My husband, my

men attempted to remove her from the

They Take Their Litigation Against the
Mckinley Bill to the supreme Court.
Four motions were made in
the United States supreme court
Monday to advance cases Intend.
ed to test the validity and constitution.
ality of the customs administrative and
Mckinley tariff laws. The first OF
these motions comes on an appeal from
the CIRCUIT court of the United States for
the Southern district of New York, sus-
tanning decision of the board of general
appraisers in assessing duties on IN inn
portation of laees by Boyd, Sutton 4 Co.
Counsel for the importers contend that
the Mckinley tariff act is uhconstitu-
tional-frst, because the bill signed by
the president was not the bill that
passed both houses Of congress, sec
ton having been omitted in its engross-
ment; second, that it contains provisions
for bounties to sugar producers in this
country, which, under the constitution,
congress had no power to enact, and
third, that section 3 of the act assumes
TO- delegate to the president the
power to impose taxes upon int
ports, which power is rested
exclusively in congress, and can
not be delegated The motions to ad.
vance are based principally upon tho
very great Importance of the question
involved and the interest Of trade and
commerce and of the government in
having the question speedily settled.
Attorney-Gencral Miller stated that the
government was willing to have tho
cases advanced, but it had desired to
have the eases made up so as to fairly
present the issues involved, which one
of the eases, ht least, did not do in his
opinion. At his suggestion the matter
went over for week, in order that the
government might examine the cases.

PROTECTION DOODLE.

Canadian Manufacturers Initiating the
United States in Raising Campaign
Funds.
In the political campaign now in
progress in Canada the question OF un-
restricted reciprocity of trade with the
United States is the main issue. The
compaign there is developing some
amusing resemblances to the protec-
ZIONIST tactics in our own campaigns
A dispatch from Montreal shows, for
example, how the protected manufact-
urers of Canada are preparing to collect
'boodle for use in the coming election.
The dispatch reads curiously like what
happens in the United States in polit-
ical campaign. Here it is:
The manufacturers are becoming very
much alarmed at the unrestrained reciproc-
ity policy OF the liberals, believing that II
free trade between Canada and the United
states is had the Canadian manufacturers
will be run out of business by the free com
petition from the other side. meeting was
held. therefore, to devise means to combat
the liberals. There were about twenty
millionaire manufacturers and business
men present. Resolutions were Of
cred and adopted conuemnlnB unrestrlcteu
reciprocity and approving the government
policy of limited reciprocity and protection
to Canadian manufacturers. 1t is thought
that the man ufacturers will subscribe $780,
900 to the election fund.
As much alike as two peas. We erect
Mckinley wall to protect ourselves
against Canada, our protected interests
subscribe enormous funds to keep that
wall in repair when it is endangered
about election time; and now the pro-
tected interests of Canada are going
through with the same comedy! We
need protection against Canada. and
Canada needs protection against us!
American "boodle" is raised here to
save us from Canada, and Canadian
doodle" is raised there as the only sal
vation from the cheap flow of American
goods which will drive Canadian manu-
facturers to the wall and throw Cana
dian labor out of employment. The
absurdities of these protectionists crop
up in every country and nowhere are
they more ridiculous than between
countries situated like Canada and the
United States
