The Indianapolis Sentinel, which is one
of the most uncompromising Democratic
organs in the country, says that " the tar

Numerous enterprising cities are anx-

is out of the question. Ii is not worth
while to talk about it, because such an ar

crow. Canada would get the turkey, but
the United States would not get as much
as crow. Unless Dominion markets
are to be opened to American manufac-
lures it will be best to waste no moro
words. III there is to be commercial union,
then the countries must have identical
tariffs, and that means that the Mckinley
bill, or n substantial equivalent, will have
to be enacted by the Parliament at Otta-
wa. The reason is obvious IL the two
countries are 20 become commercially one
