WHAT FARMERS HAVE GAINED.

The annual report of the American
consul at Hamilton, Ontario, contains
some interesting facts for the American
farmers who contemplate voting for free
trade next November. Thetigures show
that there has been marked falling oil
in agricultural exports to the United
States since the enactment of the new
tariff. In 1890 the export from consul
Monaghan's district amounted to 81, 3d.
995, while in 1891 it amounted to only
$5S2, 466, a decrease of 1913, o29, or about
56 per cent. In 1890 the exports OF bar
ley alone amounted TO 1856, 956, but fell
to 500, 900 in 1891, falling off of about
$500, 956, and unless our duty is reduced,
it is predicted that barley will soon dis
appear from the list Of Canadian exports
to the United States.
The egg trade alone shows a falling
off of $50, 900 and it is expected that the
trade of 1892 will show another decrease.
The export of horses has declined 90 per
cent All of this goes TO show that
American farmers are today supplying
the American market with the eggs,
barley, horses and other agricultural
products which were formerly supplied
by the Canadian farmer. Of course the
free-trader will at once retort that the
losses are mutual, inasmuch as 'we can
not sell unless we buy" But please note
the following figures showing the con-
ditions of our trade with Canada during
the same period. Consul Ryder of Que
bee, in chapter OF the same report.
saws:
"The condition of trade in the Domin-
ion is especially interesting to producers
and exporters in the United States, mas
much as the figures show balance in
their favor of $17,O00,000, while the
trade with Great Britain is $4,000 to
the credit of Canadian exporters. The
fact that imports from the United States
increased and the exports decreased DUR
ing 1891 is significant, showing that
Canadians purchase liz American mar
kets, irrespective of where they dispose
of their merchandise.
If there is one class Of our people that
protection benefits more than another, it
is the farmers, and it is safe to predict
that they will render a good account OF
themselves on the Sth of next November.

PERSONAL AND iMPERSONAl.

"A youngster employed in the Barns
ley cooperative stores, London, stole
fifty dollars and some clothing, fitted
out himself and another boy with re-
volvers and sword sticks, and turned
his face and his companions toward the
wilds of Russia A constable stopped
them before they were out Of the
metropolitan district.
Emperor William, it is stated, has
consented to become honorary god
father for the seventh son of Matthias
Neumann, a weaver of kettenin; the
eighth son of Florian Brenart, of Lind
enau, and the tenth son of Peter ITCHY,
a Ratibor carpenter, and, lest they be
not able to make their marks, ne has
had twenty marks sent to each of them.
Gen. Hazen took his eight-year-old
son abroad with him. About the boys
neck hung handsome gold medal on
one side of which was his name On
the other side of the medal was this in
scription IF this child should be lost
send him at once to his grandfather,
Washington Mclean, Cincinnati, United
States of America" Strange to say, no
body stole either boy or medal.
-Archduchess Margaret Sophia, an
Austrian princess who is about to mar
nv her cousin, Duke Albert OF Wurtem-
burg, is regarded as one whose life was
saved by prayer. She was lying at the
point of death few months ago from
maladY which her doctors were said to
have regarded as hopeless. when pray
ers for her recovery were offered In the
churches throughout Austria. She is
one of the most popular young women
of the house of Hapsburg.
king Alexander, of Servia, has been
at Ems recently. where he attracted
considerable attention. Although it is
scarcely more than three years since he
was snatched from the arms of Natalie,
his mother, he is now matured in mind
and body far beyond public expectation,
owing, doubtless, to the stirring events
through which he has passed. At six
teen Alexander appears on the prone

ing glasses and dark beard of consid-
era bic growth.
DIR Blyden, the Liberian minister
to England, is a splendid specimen of

became minister for the black republic
in 1892 He is the author of two books
on eastern travel and a work on the fo-
ture Of the negro. American colleges
have conferred upon him no less than
four degrees DIR. Blyden was born in
the West Indies, and his wife in Rich

Two years ago the Alliance demoastra-
ton IN Wichita contained about COO
vehicles, $50 voters and ., 700 people, all
told. That showing was made by the
Alliance alone. Yesterdays parade con-
tanned n few more than 400 vehicles,
about coo voters, and about as many
women and children as in $500. But
yesterdays parade was made up of both
Alliance and Democrats. That is 10 saw.

strength than the Alliance exhibited two
years ago. The showing proved mathe-
NAUTICAL absurdity, that is, one and one

The Republican rally at Newton Mon

The Republican rally at Newton Mon
Cay was splendid success in every re-
spect. The large auditorium was filled
to its utmost with citizens of the city
and vicinity, and the greatest degree of
interest was manifested in the proceed
ings. Hon. George 7. Anthony was the
principal speaker of the occasion. and
his speech is represented to have been
one of his best efforts, which means a
great deal. His great audience was
thoroughly enrapport with the occasion
and in the closest sympathy with the
speaker. Harvey county will certainly
give good account of herself in the
grand stand-up for Kansas on the Sth of
November.

When the tariff bill OF 1851, increasing the
average OF tariff taxes from 10 to IS per cent,
was under consideration Mr. Morrill,, the re-
publican author of the bill, said: 1T is not de-
signed as permanent system but only as a
temporary measure" As already shown this
war tax, instead of being reduced when the war
had closed, was by successive republican con-
crosses increased TO average Of 81 per cent

cratic party wages warfare on any business
interest 1t favors no legislation hostile TO the
true interests of any business enterprise. We
believe that the burdens of taxation should be
equally distributed We oppose all legislation
that enriches the few by taxing the many.
The contest upon which We have now entered
is Of deep significance TO the American people.

the demands of the protected classes, be the

tariff that will remove some OF the

did they not give the president the

1t would be just as safe as giving him
the power to tax or untax the people

these legislative powers are conferred
on the president only for the purpose
of increasing the burdens OF taxation,

Taxatson That Does Not Conform TO the
Rate of Wages
The Amalgamated Association of
Iron and Steel Workers in reaching an
agreement with their employers (other
than the Carnegie company submitted
u a reduction Of wages averaging ten
per cent
This raises an interesting and at the
same time perplexing question Inc
republican platform says that the tariff
ought to be equal to the difference be-
tween American wages and wages
abroad. Mai. Mckinley said he had IN
no case put tariff rates higher than
was necessary to cover differences OF
cost. including labor. here and IN for
eign countries. Thus the party Is COM
mitted to the position that the rate Of
duty should not exceed the difference in
the wage cost of the protected article.
The difficulty arises In the applica-
ton of this rule Mai Mckinley must
be presumed to have fixed his rates on
the basis of the wages of 1890 As to
the iron and steel schedule, these rates
have just been reduced ten per cent
To preserve the symmetry of the NC
Kinley tariff, the rates of duty ought
80 be reduced ten per cent also No
such reduction has taken place, now
ever, nor Is it recalled that any Nc
kinney organ has proposed any such
change of the law.
We purposely omit saying that many
articles of iron and steel are protected
four times as much as Is needed TO
cover any possible difference IN labor
cost. because for the time we are look
Ing at this question from a republican
standpoint If republican platforms
lay down precise rules for laying duties.
