WATSON OF GEORGIA.
He Discusses the Tariff, and Explains
Party Position Thereon.

Mr.. Watson, of Georgia, voiced the
sentiment of the third party on the
tariff question. He ridiculed the de-
bate which had already taken place
over the pending bill. The speeches
delivered had almost entirely driven
from the galleries gentlemen who
usually take their afternoon nap there,
and peanut vendors had actually dis
appeared. Republicans who had spok-
en-, had said that they were IN favor of
protection as a principle, and in order
to escape 1t, reciprocity as a practice.
The democrats said that free trade as
a governmental principle was thor
oughly right, but they did not accept
it AS rale of action. He referred to
Mr.. Dolliver, of Iowa, as beng brought
forward by the republicans because he
was very young, handsome and bril-
liant; but his speech might we'll be
labelled as 'Dolliver's extract; or II
new way of treating an old complaint" ="
Uaughter.) And the democrats had
brought forward Mr.. Bryan, of Nebras-
ka, as being the prettiest man i'll the
pack. Uaughter)
Mr.. johnson, of Indiana, desired to
ask u question when it was parried by
Mr.. Watson with query, ''Do you
wish to come in rs one of the pretty
men?"
Mr.. johnson disclaimed any idea
o. travelling on his shape. He merely
wished to ask whether large number
of members on the democratic side
were not in favor of free trade.
Mr.. Watson replied that the demo-
Gratis had fought for free trade and de-
fined 1t as right. Every argument
they had made led to free trade, de-
Tended it and made the position i'm
pregnable. Yet the momeRt it was
proposed to pat free trade into prac-
tice, they reared back and would not
face the issue.
The third party was small but 1t
made up in noise what it lacked in
numbers, and after the republicans
and democrats had brought forward
their pretty men, it had selected him
to represent them In that capacity. In
the variety of his general makeup, he
would throw other gentlemen into the
shade. Laughter.) Then Mr.. Wat
son proceeded in a serio-comic man.
ner to attack the tariff and incidental
ly the internal revenue laws. He Gre
ated much amusement by reviewing
the expenditures of the various col
lection districts of the country and
comparing them with the amount col
lected. At St. Augustine, Fla, it had
cost $4,000 to collect 15 cents.
Oaughter) In Annapolis, Md, the
collection Office had cost 1852 and
there had not been collected one God
blessed cent. Gaughter.) Again turn
ing his attention to the democrats he
told them that they were in the posi-
tion of riding their horse, whipping
him with free trade whip, and the
moment they got him on lope, turning
around and going back to the stable.
Oaughter.) There was no better
ldemocrat on the floor than he was,
but that he was democrat who be-
lieyed in the principles of the Jeffer,
son school.

Money. Produce and Politics.

The Eastern monometallists are
keeping each other in blissful ignor-
ance of the situation and sentiments of
the great agricultural interests when
they assume that the question of BIZ
metallic free coinage was forever
eliminated from politics by the post
ponement of the Bland bill till after
the election.
Most of the men, republicans and
democrats, who opposed that bill, pro
fess to be earnest advocates of hi
metallic free coinage. President Har-
rison and ex-President Cleveland both
think themselves better friends of BIZ
metallic free coinage than Mr.. Bland.
They differ only rs to the safest,
smoothest and surest way of reaching
the desired end. A way satisfactory
to a majority of the doctranaires may
never be found, but the strain of the
ever approaching gold standard upon
the industrial situation will not be
borne much longer without forcing
congress TO take decisive action.
Cotton is now at price below the
cost of production-40 per cent below
the average price of the last twelve
years. The ssdollar'' wheat, which
was the dream of our farmers few
months ago when 1t became known
that Europe lacked some 900, 100000
bushels of its normal wheat require
ments, has never materialized. The
largest export demand and the largest
shipments our export trade ever knew,
have not prevented ssMay wheat from
going down to 80 cents where it was
worth 81 .04 n year ago, and a fall in
other cereals and produce has been
equally marked.
This slump in the the price of pro-
ducts Is closely identified IN the agri-
cultural mind with the corresponding
slump in the price of silver or rather,
as some put it, with the rise in the
value of gold, and unless the situation
is changed from u continually decreas-
ing gold production to largely in
creasing output of that metal, unre-
Quilted toll and inevitable ruin will
make tillers of the soil a unit against
adhering to our present monetary
standard.
They trace their woes to the demon
etization of silver by acts excluding
it from free coinage, and are utterly
| disgusted with the results of our re-
cent silver legislation, which have
proved that it was both Intellectual and
fraudulent. Under the silver pur-
chase act silver has fallen to sc cents
per ounce, and the Government would
lose $13,000,000 il it should sell al
the present market price the silver
bullion it has bought for storage at an
average price of 81 per ounce.-Post-
Dispatch.

CALLING FOR ANNEXATION.
Strong Words by the Leading French
Liberal Paper.

MONTREAL, April 1.-The exodus of
French Canadians TO the New England
states has assumed enormous proper
tions. Thousands are daily leaving
their homes IN various parts of the
province, and going across the border.
The leading French Canadian papers
are becoming ala rmed and are discuss
ing the question whether it would not
be preferable to have n political union
with the United States than to have the
province depopulated by the exodus.
La Patrie, the leading French liberal
paper of the dominion, which is owned
by ex-Nlayor Beaugrand, of Montreal,
in to-night's issue endorses the candi-
dacy of ex-Alderman Mcdonald, on the
straight annexation ticket IN Toronto,
and declares itself strongly in favor of
the annexation of Canada TO the United
States. In Patrie says:
ave believe that if this question
was frankly submitted 10 the electorate
the popular vote wouId show very
unexpected result. Should the false
pretension that our religion, our Ian
guage, and our nationality would incur
more risk in the United States than in
the Canadian confederation be laid
aside; should the electors who for the
most part know the United States from
having lived in it or from having rela-
tives in it be asked whether they would
prefer imperial federation, TO which we
are being dragged despite ourselves, or
political union with the states, to which
we are naturally gravitating; should it
be said to them, sWill you be English
or Americans-you have no other al
ternativeP' The majority of the citi-
zens who do not profit from our too
| numerous governments would respond
from their hearts that they were Amer
leans, and that they cared nothing for
the insignificant title of Canadians OF
the country. Such is our opinion as
regards the province of Quebec, and
Mcdonald, who should know, declares
that in thousands of cases the people
of Ontario affirm that the only way to
put an end to our chronic trouble is
annexation to the United States.
cit is about time we should under
stand that Canada was intended to
form an. integral part of the American
continent, and not to be perpetually
governed from Europe in the interest
of Europeans. When we see English
capitalists investing in the United
States a hundred times more money
than they do in Canada, why should
we hesitate to give little attention to
our own interest in n matter of such
impOrtancep John Bull cannot expect
that we should be more loyal or more
English than he is himself, and he al
ways has shown himself loyal to his
| own interests. We are anxious 10 see
the result of the vote in Toronto, and
we would not he surprised to lind a
considerable number in favor of an
nexation.n
The stand taken by La Patrie, which
is the recognized monthpiece of the
French liberals, has occasioned Il great
deal of talk. Many French Canadians
endorse the article and declare them
selves strongly in favor of annexation.

Australia's Rabbit Plague.

The plague of rabbits in Australia
cannot he described without seeming
exaggeration TO those who have not had
experience of 1t. Originally introduced
in 4 colony of about Il score of indWid-
uals by u squatter near Melbourne, who
thought their familiar presence wonld
'.remind him of home,' they have kept
the recollection of England so fresh in
the minds OF pastOralIstS as to tempt
them to very reasonable language con-
cerning her whenever rabbits are men
toned.
The fecundity of the rabbit is amaz-
ing, and his invasion of remote dis
tricts swift and mysterious, says a
writer in Scribner'S Careful estimates
show that, under favorable conditions,
Il pair of Australian rabbits will pro-
duce six litters II year, averaging five
individuals each. As the offspring
themselves begin breeding ut the age of
six months, it is shown that, at that
rate, the original par might berespon-
sible in five years for n progeny of over
80, 200, ,000i That the original score
which were brought to the country
have propagated after some such ratio.
no one can doubt who has seen the
enormous hOrds that nowtievastate the
land in certain districts. In all but the
remoter sections, the rabbits are now
fairly under control, one rabbiter with

Peculiar Divorce Suit.

PATERSON, n. j., March .S. A law
yer here has under advisement the APP
plication of a woman for divorce
from dead man. Her first husband
enlisted in the war and was killed. She
married again and at The death of her
second husband she ascerrained that
her second marriage deprived her OF
the benefits of the law. Subsequently
she learned that her second marriage
was bigamous, husband No. 2 having
a wife living at the time of his mar
riage to her. This marriage, she
thinks, can be set aside us null and
void and then she will be able to pro-
cure n widows pension.
