CANADIAN FIG TRES.

Democratic journals are now expected 10
belabor the Government statlsticlan of Canada
because that official has published statistics
decidedly confirming unwclcomo American re-
ports respecting the advance in wages. The
official Canadian statement makes comparison
for the last ten years showing an increase
during that period of 1G per cent but as il is
well known that the greater part Of the in
crease has occurred within the last few years
this statement corresponds closely with official
statements in this country Which The Democrats
have doridcd as worthless. II cannot be
pectcd that Canadian authorities, i'll everything
hostile to this country and particularly To the
party now in power, and especially hostile to
the American policy Of Protection in so far n
il cripplcS Canadian industries and trade, should
be disposed to favor that policy or the party
in mower here BIZ twisting or distorting official
reports. OF course it is open for Democratic
journals 10 cry out, as usual that the figures
which do not suit them must be false and can
have no value whatever. But to the unpreju-
diced mind it will not seem probable that
Canadian official statements have been in any
respect warped TO favor the Protective policy
Of the United States.
Some may ask in what way this advance in
wages in Canada tends to support the theories
of Protectionists in this country. The answer
is sufficiently obvious. The demand for labor
in this country has been so greatly increased
that a larger number of Canadians have been
withdrawn from employment in that country,
as they can find much higher wages on this
side of the border. Hence it has been the fact
for many years that a period of advancing
wages here is ATTENDED by some advance north
of the St. Lawrence and the lakes, because ;he
withdrawal Of large number of workers from
Canada dminishes the supply of labor in tha;
country.
In another respect this Canadian report de-
serves the denunciation which it will I'M
doubtcdly receive from all Democrats. Ii APP
pears that the average wages of 1854, 496 per-
sons were no more than S272 per head yearly,
even after the unusual advance from 1881 TO

TNION FOR PRINCIPLE.

The frank and earnest statements OF cX-
Senator Platt, which were recently published
reflect credit upon him and show that his zeal
for the Republican cause has in no respect
diminished. He opposed the denomination OF
President Harrison before the convention ard
saws: Il did then what | thought was my
duty to the Republicans Of Ncw-Yorll and OF
the country. am going to do what think IA
my duty now We live in land where the
majority rules must rule. and is going to rule
every time. The majority did not agree with
me at Minneapolis. ! did my best to defeat
the President. but he had more votes than the
other candidates and that settled it," lt does
not seem to Mr. Platt that any change can take
placo in the attitude and character of parties
which will lead him t. be anything else than a
Republican, and therefore he and his friends
who are also Jealous Republicans by conviction
will do all that lies in their power for the sue
cess Of the party and its ticket.
No man can have n sincere regard for Re
publican principles who does not feel an in
tense interest in the contest of this year, be-
cause il involves a verdict of the people upon
measures which cmbody those principles more
fully and clearly than they have ever been eX-
pressed in previous legislation. If they are de
fcatcd. the whole course of industrial develop
ment i'm this country must be changed, no one
can say for how long. The financial policy
upon which a marvellous prosperity has been
built must be changed no one can say how
greatly. The consequences to the business men
and f. the millions Of labororS in this com
Try would be of incaculable importance, and he
who could calmly invite or permit those con
sequences because of any personal aim or
preference. like or dislike, cannot have in him
much belief in or regard for Republican prin-
ciplcs This great state is the key of the
battlefield and Democrats As well as Rcpub-
licnns may be assured that the fight in this
state will not end In Democratic victory If

Here it appears that there has been an in
crease of about per cent over last year in the
shipments, and during the last ten years an in
crease of As per cent. But, considering only
the movement during the last four months, it
appears that the increase over last year has
been 1913 per cent, and in comparison with the
same period in 1882 the increase has been "a
per cent.
Another great industry in which results can
be compared with those of Great Britain is
the manufacture of non. The following state

both countries during the first half of each of the
last three years contrasted with the production
during the whole year 1882:
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1892-09-12

Here it appears that a production in this
country in six months has come to be greater
than it was in the entire year ten years ago,
showing an increase of more than 100 per cent
But in Great Britain the production during the
first half of 1872 has been considerably less than
the production in either half of the year 1882
Making allowance for the stocks on hand in
both countries it appears that the consumption
of pig iron during the first half Of 1892 has
been 5,2OS4s7 net tons in this country, while
the consumption including all exports, has been
but 3.7sS,G74 net tons in Great Britain for
the same period. The exact consumption for
the half year in 1882 is not ascertained, but
for the whole year in this country it was Of
ficay rcckoned at 4,963.27S gross tons, while
the actual consumption, including all exports,
for the entire year was about s,69S 900 gross
tons in Great Britain.
