THE TARIFF.

The official statistics of the import trade
of the United States during the seven
months beginning with December, 1890,
and ending with June, 1891, furnish some
frozen truth concerning the Mckinley
tariff that it will do the Democracy good
to chew on until they melt in their mouths.
During these seven months of 1S90-9i,
the total importation of merchan-
disc into the United States amounted TO
$l93, 600 900, from which Sil3,00o,000 of
tariff revenue were collected.
During the corresponding seven months
of1sS9-90, prior TO the enactment of the Me-
Kinley law, the imporrations amounted to
SAL, O00,000. from which 100000 of
tariff revenue were collected That is TO
say that while the importations were $22.-
coo, GO larger during the seven months of
Mckinley tariff. the revenue collected was
100000 less than during the correspond
ing seven months prior to the enactment
OF the present tariff.
These figures show that the Mckinley
law IS not causing decrease in our
foreign trade, as the Democrats charge
was It's design. and it is not levying higher
rates OF tariff duties than prevailed prior
10 its enactment During the seven
months of the Mckinley tariff. the tariff
revenue was little under % per cent. of
the value of the imports. while during the
corresponding seven months of the wear
before, under the tariff OF 1883, the tariff

DEMOCRATS AND SILVER.

The Democracy are likely to quarrel
next year bitterly over the question OF
silver. Democratic Governor Russell, of
Massachusetts,, in a recent speech declared
that Massachusetts would favor no
movement, whatever its source and how
ever honest its purpose, which should
result in debasing the currency, I'M
settling credit, impairing values, and
giving to labor in deprecated
money less than its just dues. ="
And Democratic Congressman IT, +. Will
Jams declares that ''the Democratic repre-
sentatives in congress from Massachu-
sets would fight free silver with all their
strength. If there is Democratic majority
in congress determined to force free silver
upon the party, they will be resisted
by the Democrats of the Eastern states to
the very last. and they will be made to I'M
derstand that the very life of the party in
New England depends upon the abandon
ment of this folly. The moment it is
understood that the Democratic party is
for free coinage, that moment Democracy
is thing of the past in the New England
states"
The New York Democracy are bitterly
opposed to Stree silver" and the Mary
land Democracy in their recent convention
were very careful not to endorse the 'Ohio
idea"

revenue was a little under % per cent. of
the value OF the imports; that is, the
Mckinley law has reduced the average
rate of duty on all imports from % per
cent TO g per cent.

that naturally belongs to the board. and the

do with it, provided they do something.

General Clarkson is not only a Journalist of
ability, but is politician of the practical school
of thinkers in whom diplomacy and tact are
well developed. His leadership will be charae-
terized by extraordinary aggressiveness along
the well defined lines of Republican principles.
He believes in an educational campaign, in
arousing the enthusiasm of young men, in mar
shaling the hosts in battle for the continue
ton of good government, and that Providence
is in sympathy with the biggest batteries as well
as the most righteous cause. In no way will
the Republican party suffer from the elevation
OF Mr.. Clarksou to the chairmanship of the

modestly, but his energy will prove an impor.

John Joyce, an employe of the Albion Iron
Works, Victoria, vas killed last Friday. Joyce
was working near the crane in the molding-
room, upon which large water pipe, eight feet
in length and twenty-five inches in diameter,
and just out of the mold, was swinging. The
casting itself weighed 900 pounds; the armor
about 1000 pounds, and the sand filing 1900
more, making total weight of about two and a
half tons. This weight was supported by a
doubled half-inch chain, for which the safe
load is seven, and the breaking strain eleven
tons. The chain broke and the crushing
weight of between two and three tons fell upon
poor Joyce, grinding him into the heap of sand
at which he was working, crushing his ribs and
the bones of the right side like egg shells, and
rupturing almost all the principal internal
organs
