Wee Eersn.

At the council meeting held Satur-
day night that illustrious body decided
that harbor district No. 10 must be
improved at once. That the said con-
templated improvement means the al
most if not quite confiscation of GER
tain property signifies nothing. The
Land and River Improvement Compa-
ny, the Freeman mill company and a
few other private individuals want
the work done and it is to be done.
Less than year ago this same council,
or portion of the present members
with others, refused to allow the own
ers of dock property at the East End
to improve their property because the
Land and River Improvement Compa-
ny and few other private individuals
imagined that such harbor improve
ment would be adverse to their
interests. A year ago a majority of
the owners of the property to be bene
fitted asked for the improvement of
their property, and the council told
the said owners that they did not know
their own business and could not have
the Improvement asked for. Today
the property owners insist that the ex-
tensive Improvements proposed are
not needed at this time and that to
make them would entail upon them
great financial burdens, and ask that a
part of the improvements at least be
suspended until there is a greater de-
mand for them These owners are
now informed that they do not know
their own business and that their
requests cannot be granted, but that
the work must go on. The public be-
ing familiar with all the circumstances
in the case, and knowing all the parties
most interested in both the instances
cited, will have no tears to shed over
the decision of the council Saturday
evening, but still the question comes
up, what do we elect council for?'
Is it to represent the people at large,
or only a few people and few cor
porations, or that the individual coun-
Gilman may have a chance to vote
according to his own pleasure?

BY the crossing of the telephone
and electric hight wires the switch
board in the central telephone office
was almost entirely burnt out at .
O'Clock Monday morning. The fire de-
partment was called out and eXtln-
guished the burning wood work with
chemicals. Telephone service was
rendered just little worse than usual,
but was got back to its normal condi
tion on Tuesday.

81 rp,nFaRD Chairman
Not IL Large YUM Der.

The Democrats claim that the Nc
Kinley protection or tariff law IS re-
sponsible for all the labor strikes,
leckouts, and general agitation OF the
labor and wage question. OF course
this is all boSh and no honest or reas-
enable man would claim such thing
But let us admit for arguments sake
that the Mckinley act does for fact
effect in some manner and to some
degree the labor questions of the day.
How does it affect the matter? Does
i; have tendency to create strife and
discorti, or does 1t have a contrary ef-
feet, and instead, bring quietnesS and
contentment to the wage Garner and
quent9 If the Mckinley law is re-
Sponslhle for either effect it is in the
in the latter direction, a proposition
easily proven by facts and Democratic
figures. In July last Hon. John
Dewitt Warner published IN the New
York World a list of labor disturb
ances-strikes, lochouts and wage dis
1utes-coverin the period OF the pre-
yious twenty months. all of which he
claimed were the direct outcome OF
the Mckinley bill, and pointing the
bloody finger Of the rioter at the Nc
Kinley law and the Republican party
which passed it, and the Republican
President who signed it, traglcally eX-
claims, ''ye are responsible for all
this
OF course Mr.. Warner, being man
of intelligence, knows his position and
his utterances are false and contrary
10 the facts, but he and his party are
this year running the campaign on
that line. Nh. Warner searched the
the whole Union over for cases to lay
before the public. and could only find
I73 instances which could by any
stretch of the Imagination be called
Labor dlStuT banccs, and some OF these
were no disturbances at all and several
others were very tri!iing affairs AMIGA
bly adjusted in few hours time.
~ .,t,vr-, IN few .o.ei-, ti,o
utter f.,llacy of such charge, let Us
turn back page or two of history and
see what we find. In 1889, a year or
more before the Mckinley tariff bill
had been heard Of or thought of, there
were in the state OF New York alone,
Il state under full Democratic rule
and III which the World was published
every day in the year, 1,3571 labor
strikes and disturbances, some of them
far reaching in their effects. VIII
Mr. Warner tell us what occasioned
,374 in one state in one year without
the Mckinley law as against l13 in the
United States in twenty months with
the Mckinley law in operation? Sure
" it is plain that if the law has any
effect whatever upon the labor qucS-
ton, it is OF a quoting and beneficial
nature, and not only the lahorer, but
the country at l::ge is greatly benefit
ted by its operations. The Democracy
Is not wise in its production of figures.
The party leaders should contine them
selves to plain statements and stick to
them. but never try to prove their
statements true 1t is useless to at
tempt plain impossibIlities.

What Farmers Have Gaincd.

American Economist:
The annual report of the American
Consul at Hamilton. Ontario, contains
some interesting facts for the Ameri-
can farmers who contemplate voting
for Free Trade next November. The
figures show that there has been
marked falling off in agricultural eX-
ports TO the United States since the
enactment of the new Tariff. In 1890
the export from Consul Monaghan 5
district amounted to Sl.3l5,995. while
in 1891 1t amounted TO only S5S2 1855, Il
decrease of S7S33,529, or about 56 per
cent In 1890 the exports of barley
alone amounted to $3.50 $50, but fell to
s.'5.noo in 1891, falling of of about
$50, o56, and unless our duty is reduced,
it is predicted that barley will soon
disappear from the list of Canadian
exports to the United States
The egg trade alone shows a falling
off of s6o, 900 and it is expected that
the trade of 1892 VIII show another de
crease. The export of horses has de
cined 80 per cent. All of this goes to
show that American farmers are today
supplying the American MAJ ket with
the eggs, barley, horses and other ag-
rieultural products which were for
merly supplied 10y the Canadian farm
er OF course the Free Trader will at
once retort that the losses are mutual,
riaSmuch as we cannot sell unless We
buy" But please note the following
figures showing the conditions OF our
trade with Canada during tie same
period Consul Ryder. of Quebec, in a
chapter of the same report, says:
The condition of trade III the Do
minion is especially interesting 10 pro
,!ueers and exporters in the United
states, inasmuch as the figures show a
balance in their favor OF ST. 900 GOO,
while the trade with Great Britain is
81 600, 900 to the credit OF Canadian eX-
porterS. The fact that imports from
the United States increased and the
exports decreased during 1891 is sig
nfticint, showing that Canadians our

What the New Law Proposed and
What Ii Has Done.

American Economist:
The purpose of the act of 1890, as re-
peatedIy stated by its advocates on
this floor, was to provide for the better
security and the greater development
Of American industries and to main
tain the high level of wages then eX-
isting in the United States. The
claims and exnectatinns of tho fram@rS
Of the measure have been more than
realized. Through its various provis-
ions it has enlarged the markets, both
foreign and domestic, of American
lishment of new industries and given
vitality and expansion to old ones,
1t has quickened the pulsations of
trade, given new impetus to agricul
ture, as well as to manufactures and
commerce. By its revival of activities
in every direction, it has given profit
able Enjoyment and certainty of
earnings to all classes of the people.
1t has directed American enterprise
into new channels and given wider
scope to the genius of American invent
ors. 1t has afforded the opportunity
for production in the United States of
all the finer and more difficult manu-
features in every branch, Industries
which will demand from our artisans
and skilled workmen greater artistic
taste and higher mental develop
ment.
The beneficial effect which the en-
trance upon these new and broader in
dustrial fields will have in quickening
the national life and broadening the
national experience cannot be meas
ured by the sum which the establish
ment of these industries Will add to
the national income.
The declared purpose of the Demo
cratic party to repeal this act immed-
lately upon their return to power is
certain to provoke lively opposition
to their political restoration.
We can await the result of this con-
test with calm confidence. The plain
people of the United States have too
much good sense and discernment to
mistake pretentious platitudes for
philosophy. They are not likely to ex
change the certainty of satisfactory
earnings and savings, of constant en-
ployment and comfortable homes, for
Democratic promises of a millennium
that is to follow revolution. These

people will not surrender the substance

The state Republican Convention
was held in Milwaukee last Wednes-
day, a full report Of which will be
found on our first page. That the dele
gate representatives of the party dis
played sound judgment as well as good
politics makeup of the ticket is
generally admitted even by our polti-
cal opponents. The fact that Ex Sen
ator Spooner has been placed at the
head of the ticket almost of itself in
sures success, but when he is backed
up and supported by such an array of
talent and statesmen as he is. no room
for doubt of the result is left. The
ticket throughout is A ], and every
man is winner. 1t is as follows:
