TOUGH.

1t is extremely tough on free traders
that even the Democrats Carlisle and
Harris We're forced to admit i'll Their
report to the senate that the cost OF
living has diminiehed and wages in
creased under protection. And now
comes another Democrat with the
same testimony.
Mr. Charles T. Peck, who was ap-
pointed commissioner of labor statis-
ties by Coy. Hill, has just made his an
nual report. "Whateyer statistical
data collected and tabulated may
prove" says Mr.. Peck, "relative to
the effect of prot ectiOn on labor and
wages in New York, may justly be
taken as fairly representative of the
conditions throughout the whole coun-
try" And Mr.. Peck data yield this
result. For the year after the passage
of the Mckinley law wages in sixty
seven Industries showed a net increase
of $6,377 ,925 oyer those of the year be
fore, and the value of the product in
the two years showed an increase OF
s3l ,3I5, i3G.GS in the Later year. THIS
result, Mr.. Peck admits, is not III lar
mony with the tariff plank in the Chi
cago platform. Exchange.

lAe tonnage tributary now to the
Nicaragua Canal, and which would
pass through after its opening, is over
6,OOU,OO tons year. Al s. per top,
the charge made by the Suez Canal,
this would be 81, 000, 900 in tolls The
cost of operation and maintenance is
placed at less than 81 GOO 900, and s.
UO0,0o0 tons would show "a net incon e
OF ST. 900, 600 per annUm. The CON-
mittee Is confident that within five
years the income VII be over So
uD0. 900
The committee says it is no longer a
question whether the canal Will be
built or not. The only question is as
to who shall build it, and who shall
control it when built. 1t says it has
been informed that European synd-
Gates have already made overtureS to
the canal company, but the committee
believes the United States cannot af,
ford by carelesSnesS, hesitation or neg
lect to permit an enterprise Of Sucl,
magnitude and of such far reaching
advantage TO pass andeT the control OF
any foreign company 1T therefore
behooves us the address concludes,
''aS nation conscious OF the power
we WELD and of the greater influence
we may exert upon the destinieS of
this continent, to perform the duties
without delay which we deny other
nations the privilege OF assuming. and
to adopt now the best means Of Secur
ing the early comDletlon of this work,
whose advantages we are willing to
share with the world bat whose con
troll should never be allowed to pass
out OF our hands"

The cotton growing sections OF the
gulf states have undergone derress-
! ion, and the committee believes that
nothing could be of greater Immediate
advantage than the canal IL relieving
that depression. and making Il market
for American cotton in Japan, China
and Corea, where already the people
are beginning to manufacture cotton
goods by machinery. Japan imported
over 900, 900 pounds of American cot
| ton III 1891, most of which was shipped
| from New Orleans to New York and
| then by rail to Vancouver and steam
| ship to Japan.
| At present the coal trade of South
opolZed by the English. The com
mittee thinks that if the Nicaragua
Canal were opened the Alabama and
West Virginia coal would have q de-
cided advantage over English competi-
tors, not to mention the enormous
amounts Of coal the canal company il
self would use. vt the entrance of the
SueZ canal last year !, $4,000 tons OF
coal were sold. In competition with
England for Pacific Ocean trade the
Nicaragua Canal would give American
commerce an advantage Of 200 miles,
while besides the specific benefits, the
committee thinks great general bene-
fits Will accrue to the entire MisSis-
sippi Valley, the lake ports, anG the
Atlantic coast. Ship building and the
shipping interests in New England
viii receive Il new impetus. A new
coasting trade VIII spring up and
American tonnage on the high Seas
VIII largely Increase.
The committee says that great trans
Atlantic powers are looking with Gov
etouS eyes toward the Nicaragua pro
ject and that foreign governments
would very cheerfGlly and eagerly EN-
brace an opportunity to take advant-
age of the enterprise with unlimited
capital and prompt energy, but 1t con
ceiyes it TO be the patriotic and politi-
cal privilege OF the United States to
complete the canal. The commercial
and naval supremacy of the nation
which might secure control OF the
canal demands imperatively that its
control should not pass away from the
people of the United States. It is made
plain that two fleets would be reGuir
ed to block an American fleet in Me
aragua where one would be necessary
elsewhere. As Il foothold from which
to attack or defend, to threaten OF
protect all the coasts, islands and add
jacent seas, it is q more commanding
power than Gibraltar.
Among the beneficial results fore
seen are a more practical drawing to-
gether of the remote parts of the vast
domain of the world and d tirmer CO.
hesion Of the widely separated sections
of the United States, added to a
stronger feeling Of neighborhood and
community between the Atlantic and
Pacific seaboards. The contamination
OF the work, whose feasibility haS al
ready been demo Strated, is asserted

Another Victory and Another Session.

MADISON, Wis, Sept 27.--The SUI
preme court this morning rendered a
decision declaring the apportionment
made by the extra session of the legls-
lature invalid Another session VIII
doubtless be called, and the legislature
would doubtless make an attempt to
conform to the ruling of the court.
The court holds that the order grant
ing leave to the relator to bring this
action on behalf of the state was prop
elly made. Hence the motion on be
half of the defendant to vacate the
same and dismiss the action must be
denied. The court further holds that
the complaint states facts sufficient to
cntille the state to the relief demand
ed therein. Hence the motion on be-
half of the state to strike out the de-
nurrer to the complaint is frivolous
and judgment must be granted.
Such determination of these notions
in effect overrules the demurrer to the
complaint: An opinion will be prepar
cd and fled at an early date If the
defendant desires leave to interpose an
answer to the complaint, the court
will hear Il motion for such leave On
the next motion day.
The general view of the decision is
that the court practically decided that
the legislature has no discretion in
1, ,tS.x
lation is concerned, and that the law
is practically declared invalid.
Senator Villas refused to talk upon
the matter, stating that until the opin-
ion Of the court could be had 1t would
be useless to speculate upon the merits
Of the case
The general impression is that the
court is disposed to set the act aside
and that further argument would be a
loss of time. Another special session
appears inevitable, us all the previous
acts are practically unconstitutional
and in case the present act is set aside
there would he no act to fall back upon
under which legislature could be
elected
The court is composed of three dem
ocrats and two republicans, and hence
two democrats agreed with two repub
lean judges. The decision Is com
plete victory for the relatOr, and an
o.her special session of the legislature
will no doubt be called at once 10 en-
act new law
The suit did not involve congression-
al apportionments The decisions will
vitiate the score or more nominations
already made. Under the law just set
aside the democrats could probably
control both branches of the lcgisla-
ture. and thus elect a democratic Tn
tied States senator next winter.

The Nicaragua Canal Scheme.
s.S ADVANTAGES TO TEE CGH-
ME.k:CE. I.' 'SlE;S N.ilzesS sE-
l0ND s9t;PtEaTEGN.

The committee appointed by the Ma
tional Nicaragua Canal Convention at
its meeting in st. Louis, June ID and
Sd, to prepare an address to the Amer
Ican people giving information as to
the feasibility of the Nicaragua canal
AID its commercial and other adyant-
ages to the United states, has just fin
shed the preparation OF such address.
The committee is composed Of John S.
Jones, Of Arkansas; eX-Congrcssman
Converse, OF Ohio; r. W. Millsap, the
prominent banker of Mississippi; Capt.
J +. Merry, Of Manchester, Iowa; ).
II. Hawkins. the railroad president of
the New York Board of Trade and
Transportation, and exGov. JOHN 5.
PIlisbury, OF Minnesota.
The address is supplementary to the
resolutions adopted by the St. LOUIS
Convention, which pointed out the adj
vantages of the canal and urged its
construction, ownership and control by
the American people rather than the
English, French or any other nation.
1t takes the position that a canal, join
ing The Atlantic and Pacific oceans,
should be constructed for the most i'm
portant commercial, strategic and pa
triCtic reasons, and says that the sub
ject of such a canal is the most vital
connected with the welfare, growth
and prosperity of tie United States. 1t
declares that the only feasible route
for such canal is by way OF Nicara-
aqua, and points out that the conven-
tions Of the two great political par
ties have endorsed the project.
1t appears that ali the engineers
have agreed in expressing decided
preference for the Nicaragua route,
because, among other reasons, only PSF
miles Of the entire distance of l69!
miles from the Atlantic to the Pacific
ocean through Nicaragua VIII have to
be eNcayated The other li2i miles
consist of Lake Nicaragua, the San
Juan river and depreosions in the sur
face OF the earth. Lake Nicaragua
Will constitute haIbor sufficient to
accommodate the navies and commerce
OF the world. 1t Is 70 miles long, 60
miles wide and is 80 feet at its deep
est points. Vessels entering the canal
from the Atlantic ocean VIII sail on a
level with the ocean for l23 miles, at
the end Of which they VIII be raised by
three locks to the level Of the lake.
They will sail along the San Juan river
and the lake on the Lake level to a
point within three and one half miles
Ct the Pacific ocean.
The committee says the cost includ-
ing the payment OF interest during the
progress of TIE work, viii be less than
800, 03G,00 and the time required for
the completion of the work is within
five Yeas. The climate of Nicaragua
