EVERY patriotic citizen will support
this administration in renewing its
demand upon England for a close
sealing season, and this without con-
ditions. Our treaty rights will be
maintained by President Harrison.
No one can doubt either his ability or
his pluck in dealing with foreign COM
plications. There is no jingoism
about this Administration. Its at.
'titude is calm, determined and judi.
cial. There need be no fear of serious
difficulty with England. The con-
tention will hardly go beyond the
borders of diplomatic controversy
But in this, as in more aggressive
movements, there must be patriotic
determination on the part of the Fed
eral government to steadfastly insist
upon its rights.

Hon. E. H. CoNGER, United States
minister to Brazil, who is now home

opposition to reciprocity in Brazil is
gradually dying out, and British and
German importers are now sending
their orders to the United States to
be filed, so as to secure advantage of
the treaty. He says that the Brazilian
Steamship Company has been obliged
to increase the number of steamers
sent out monthly from to IA.

Century Company, is suffering from
the effects of stroke of paralysis.
Andrew Carnegie has given 500, OOC

Mrs. Annie Smith, bright South

and qualified herself for the profess
sion of the law, has just retired from
the editorship of the North Danville

British ship Hussar sunk near He'll
Gate, New York, with something like
81, 100000 aboard. Men have tried
and tried again to get at its treasure
but failed, SO powerful is the current

PULLING ANOTHER STRING.
An eastern free trade paper says:

An eastern Tree Urdue paper says:
We have never looked forward,
even as the result of radical revision
of the tariff, to material lessening
of American prices, but rather to a
leveling up of prices with our foreign
competitors. The people Of the
United States, under free conditions
of trade, would inevitably carry the
prices in England and on the contin-
ent of Europe up to the American
level. The advantage we should gain
from this would be the ability we
should then have of manufacturing
upon equal terms with our foreign
rivals.
This is somewhat different from
the cry of the free trade press in the
past, and is only another specimen of
hedging" that has been more or less
prevalent in some quarters of Dem
>ocracy during the past few months.
The cry all the time has been for
cheaper goods. 1t has been claimed
all along that the present range of
prices was one of robbery, and that
UuO ICuuCUlOu VI UuC UdllH uculduucu
by the Democrats was to prevent the
continuance of said robbery.
Now the tune is changed, and one
of the opponents of free trade, calls
for reduction SO that the prices of
foreign goods may be ''leveled up" to
that of American prices, and states
that we could then manufacture upon
equal terms with our foreign rivals.
AS the New York Mail ard Express
clearly points out, there is only one
way by which foreign prices can be
''leveled up to those of American
goods, if they need leveling up, and
that is by greater demand for them.
That demand must largely come from
the United States and will therefore
interfere with our own manufactures,
and such interference must throw
some Of our own workmen out of en-
ployment. 1t makes but little differ
ence whether the free traders wipe out
our protective system for the purpose
OF cheapering the price Of goods here,
or ID level up" European prices the
result Of either scheme would be
equally disastrous to our prosperity.

THE House yesterday passed the
Chinese exclusion bill by vote of 179
to AZ. 1t absolutely prohibits the
coming into this country of Chinese
except ministers and other diplomatic
representatives, consuis, generals,
commercial and other agents OF the
Chinese government. 1t imposes a
fine of $500 upon any vessel master
who knowingly brings over Chinese SO
prohibited, and also heavy penalties
upon all persons swearing falsely in
regard to being entitled to admission
under this act. The present exclusion
act expires early in May, and it is
said swarms of Chinese have gathered
along the British borders waiting to
take advantage of the lapse unless
new legislation is provided.

THE Cleyelandites were very much
shocked at the idea of Senator Hill

before Grover Cleveland waddled off to
Rhode Island to interview the public.
But then in Growers case he probably
yielded to the call of "duty."

WHILE it is undoubtedly fact that
Grover Cleveland represents the best
element of his party, it should not be
forgotten that during the New York
campaign of 1891 he did all in his
power for the success of Tammany, the
most corrupt and rotten political or
ganization of the age Nordid he open
his mouth to condemn David B. Hill
in his successful attempt to Illustrate
the will Of the people by stealing the
legislature Of that state. Yet he new
er writes a letter nor addresses an au-
dience upon political matters, that
he does not dwell upon the purity OF
his party and declare it to be the de-
fender of the peoples rights.
