she gives another. If she opens her doors
wide to the United States they must be as
widely open to the countries Of Europe
and South America with whom Great
Britain has covenanted. This is ruling
which Canada has no option but to accept.
Canada cannot make her own treaties or
interpret those made for her. British
treaties and British Interpretation of their
obligations are Canada's supreme law; she
has no alternative but free trade for all or
the same tariff for all.
The only solution for Canada's troubles
is annexation. If Canada is determined
to cling 10 protection she can best do it as
part of the United States, and if she ac-
cepts free trade she certainly will be
driven ultimately TO annexation.

THE M'KINLEY TARIFF AND CAN.
ADA.

The Mckinley tariff evidently pinches
Canada's foot. The representatives of the
parliamentary Conservative government
recently passed resolution offering TO
admit British manufactures duty free,
while retaining the present duties on i'm
ports from the United States, provided
England would impose duties on Ameri-
can food products, while admitting free
similar staples from the Dominion.
The pretended negotiations for reciproc-
ity with the United States on the part of
Canada We're absurd, for unless Canada
opened her market to American manu-
features the United States would be idiotic
to open her market TO the competition of
Canadian grain, lumber, mines and fish
cries.
The proposition of reciprocity made by
Canada to Great Britain, while made in
good faith, is hardly less preposterous
than the pretense of reciprocity made to
the United States, when Canada knew
that our government was not prepared 10
give something for nothing. OF course,
Great Britain is smart enough TO see that
the reciprocity offered her by Canada
would raise the price of food products to
her own people by giving the Canadian
farmer the monopoly OF the markets of
the United Kingdom. while in compensa-
ton for this Great Britain gains nothing
but free market for manufactures in a
country of five millions of inhabitants.
Discrimination against our grain and
meat bv Great Britain in favor of Canada
would he the sacrifice of England's best
customer for 4 very poor one. Lord
Kuutsford of the British colonial office
has promptly refused to consider this re-
quest Of the Canadian parliament for pre-
ferentisl trade relations with England.
The wonder is that Canada should have
been foolish enough to make request so
certain To We rejected, but the invalid con.
d.tlon of Canada has reached that point OF
desperation when drowning men catch at
straws.
What will Canada do? The Conserva-
tives have refused 10 consider unrestricted
| reciprocity with the United States. and
now the Conservative scheme of reciprocity
| with England is squelched by Lord Knuts-
| ford's refusal. which informs Canada that
under the favored nation clause Canadians
| mus; treat all countries which enjoy the
right by treaty exactly as they do England
IN the matter OF duties.

THE RELIEF FUND.

The amount added to the Roslyn relief
fund at the Observation-Disclosures business
Office yesterday was s696.75 The entire
amount thus far raised to be forwarded to
the sufferers through the PosT-INTELLI-
eENcER is s2,2S7.25.
The amount subscribed on Thursday,
$1,590.50, was forwarded direct to the re-
lief committee at Roslyn and has already
been applied to the relief of those left des-
titute by the disaster. The amount sub
scribed yesterday will be forwarded by
telegraph this morning, and remittances
will hereafter be sent daily so long as the
funds continue to come in and the neces-
sity for aid exists.
Thus far King county has done nobly.
It must be remembered that the amount
subscribed through the Posr-INrELIIGEN-
GER is in addition to that contributed
through the committee appointed by
Mayor Ronald, SO that the entire amount
subscribed by the people of Seattle does
very well for starter. The work must
not end here, however. So long as the
necessity for aid exists, aid must be forth
coming, and the people of Seattle must
not be. and will not be, backward in fur.
nishing it.
The PosT-INTELLIGENCER will continue
to receive, forward and acknowledge con-
tributions. 1t is hoped that the amount
already subscribed will be materially in
creased today.

oratory, exclusive of his iteration, II am
a Democrat" has been limited to profuse
denunciation of the "Billion congress"
1t is possible that ihe present river and
harbor bill is needlsssly extravagant, but
the policy advocated by Mr.. Lockwood
and Mr.. Catchings il far preferable to the
narrow. contemplate policy of Holman,
who would check the construction of i'm
portant public works in order to present
cooked" party record for pseudo econ
omy at the opening of a campaign.
The policy of Mr.. Lockwood and Mr.
Catchings is in line with the policy of
Webster. Jefferson, Tilden, Clay and Jack
son, who all supported the policy of lib
eral appropriations for internal improve
ments. A generous policy, supported by
both parties, would long ago have made
the navigation of the Columbia as free
from obstacles as is that of the Mississippi
The stale Democratic trick of starving the
government, refusing to make decent APP
propriations for its proper administration,
saddling deficiency appropriations upon
the incoming congress, was worked for
many years by Samuel ]. Randall and
Holman. It was done from stupid,
narrow-minded notion that it was good
bid for votes, to present a cooked"
statement of Democratic economy"
The country has outgrown all this blear-
eyed demagogy; the people are never
tolerant of gross Misrepresentation or
waste of the public money, but on the
other hand the people are never disposed
to find fault with generous appropriations
for public improvements in our great and
rapidly growing country.
1t is great pity that the important
public works needing annual federal ap-
preparations could not be at once ordered
and lump sum voted without any dis
pute between the parties, as is done in the
British parliament when a question of
this sort comes before it. The coming
campaign will be fought ont on the ques-
tons of currency and tariff; the "Billion
congress-" bomb will be thrown no longer
into the Republican camp, for the Hol-
man battery has been spiked by the hands
of the Democratic House.

After all, the whole thing Will resolve ITSELF

II q friendly spirit cannot exist between the
different cities, the Times suggests that each
one Of them try the experiment of attending to
their own business.
So far as Everett il concerned, she Is here 10

Tacoma and Seattle have been chewing eacn
others for several years, and it is difficult
to discover what has been gained by the opera

Instead of fighting each other, every one OF
the Sound cities ought to stand together shout

So far as Everett is concerned she is going to
attend strictly to her own business, and II the
"other fellow" is anxious to attend TO his own
affairs and ours too, he will be the loser
These petty jealousies are not Pheasant to con-

They show that some of the business men OF
Washington are not in favor Of adopting that
broad-gauge policy which means the develop

1t would be the part of wisdom to call a halt
