TILE SEAL OELNTION.

President Harrison may rest assured that 'he
peoDlc will heartily sustain him i'll any measure
he may find it necessary to take for the NAM
tenance of the rights of the United states IN
The seal fisheries The question has ceased to be
ono of dollars and cents. The British Govern
mcnt has chosen to treat it in manner alto
cetber indefcnsiblc and unfair. The elaborate
and painstakng hardness CT Lord Salisbury
appears to Americans deliberately lntenueu 70
give Canadian poachcrs abundant opportunity 10
plumber and rilfer TO their hearts content IL
that is not his intention, he has really wonder
full faculty of acting, with friendly purpose pre-
cisely as an enemy would act.
The United States can stop this performance
in either of two ways. 1t can send vessels u
Bchrng Sea to seize and conscate the ships
engaged in pcaching upon the property Of TINS
Nation, or it can make its purpose and power
felt by refusing to Canadian railways the specla
privileges which keep them alive. by virtue
Of these special privileges, certain Canadian
railways divert a great traffic each year from
railways of this country. These Canadian roads
have no responsibility to United States laws
pay nothing to the United states Government
or to the States, take freight at terms which
are not permitted by the Interstate Commerce
Act for American railways, make tho enforce
ment of that law extremely difficult and burden
some to the roads of this country in]ure Lake
TRANSFORMATION intellectually, and meanwhile sls-
tain by their corrupting influence an Admins
tration in Canada which is unkindly and even
offensive to this county.
II is a good time to stop this. An Ameri-
can Executive can afford to tell the CANADIAN
railroads that they can hereafter enjoy no 1achi-
ties or privileges, in business with this country!
unless the Canadian Government behaves de-
Gently in regard to the fisheries. IN order which
the President could prepare and sign IN I'VE
minutes would take from these Canadian rail-
roads and from the Government of Canada so
large n mart of their revenue that there would
soon be anxiety across the border. But whether
the effect is much or little, at all events Cana
dams NAV Justly be excluded from fayoIs of the
United States Government until the nights Of
the United States in the seal regions are re-
spected.
Lord Salisbury thinks it bright and sharp, no
doubt, to trick this country out OF Its nights by
successive and carefully timed delays. lis
latest performance is accurately timed to permit
Canadian poachers TO destroy the seal fisheries
for another year, if not for all time to come
President Harrison has the remedy in his own
hands lie can make such unfriendly behavior
so costly to Canada, in many ways that the
whole value of all the seals taken in year
would be quito insignificant in comparison.
Whether this is the swifteSt or most effective
mode of defending the rights CT this country
the President is in position to judge. But he
will have the enthusiastic approval of the people
if he resents Lord Salisbury's latest act of hos
tiliy in the most effective way.

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

The past week has been one OF moderate
nroorcss and jmprovcmcnt in legitimate trade of
small speculation in products and OF risky ir.
regularity in stocks. Without visible reason, per-
haps because no reason was visible, one or TWO
stocks INDUCED in acrobatic performances OF thc
strongest kind, but the market as whole was
dead and dull. London continued selling. and the
outward movement OF gold continued, but without
any especial effect as yet upon the local money
market The reserves Of the banks decreased
very heavily, no less than S5,267 800. and Yet
the loans increased S7,700 300. fact which seems
to indicate that large proportion Of the stocks
recently returned from Europe may be carried for
the present on borrowed money.
The lowest prices ever known for iron and
for products OF iron and steel result
from an output considerably in excess
Of the largest consumption Of iron. Some works
in Western Pennsylvania have closed, throwing
many hundred hands out of employment, and
il is stated that q number Of furnaces in the
NahoninQ and Shcnango Valleys will stop work,
IA well as one or more near Chicago. The trouble
in the iron business is peculiar and unprecedented.
For eight months the consumption has been
greater thnn it ever was before, and while there
are some signs Of decrease and the market for
finished products is little less active, the guam
tty OF iron used each week would have exceeded
the capacity OF all tne lurnacts III the country
prior to 1891. But the expectation of n vast ex.
pansion Of the iron business in consequence Of the
remarkable crops last year. seems TO have in
lucnced the producers OF pig iron more than any
other class of manufacturers, and 81 it comes to
pass that about ten thousand tons of iron per
week are produced and offered in the market in
excess Of the quantity consumed in manufacture.
The market for steel rails is exceptionally dull,
because nobody cares 10 pay the combination $50
per ton, when Besscmer and No. | Foundry pig
iron are selling at Sl5 per ton in Pit'sburg. A
liberal movement in the rail business would
greatly relieve the producers of pig iron but it
seems to he shut out for the present by the firm.

The Reciprocity policy has received first and
last the highest sanction OF public opinion at
home and abroad. The Republican majority in
the last Congress adopted it upon the recon-
,ncndation Of an international congress repre-
sentng every independent state on the Con-
tincnt. Producers and merchants throughout
the Union have welcomed it as a busineSslikc
method of opening foreign markets and increas-
inc the volume of export trade. The United
States Supreme Court has critically examined
the text of the Reciprocity amendment and al
Grmed its cOnStitutiOnaity. The new CONNER
cial policy has been subjected TO practical tests
in the conventions with Brazil and the Spanish
West Indies. and the trade statistics have de-
monstratcd at once its utility and efficiency in
charging the foreign demand for American
PRODUCTS and manufactures. Reciprocity Is pop
Mar with all business classes in the United
states. Democratic leaders in Congress are not
lacking in rccklc>sncss, but they alc warned by
public opinion that any attempt on their part
10 obstruct or reverse the Reciprocity policy will
be angrily resented by the country.
Abroad the highest tribute, that of imitation
has been paid to this stateslnanlike method OF
eoualizng international exchanges. The Ger
man CnaHccllCr Has PidC1I'd'ir "'NPeON INC
American Interpretation of the most favored-na-
ton clause, and adopted the principle OF Reel
procty based upon equivalents. The passage
Of the Adrich amendment has involved the adj
mission Of the United States into the Zollverein
Of the Central European States. Not only is
Austria Hungary following the example OF Ger
many in negotiating a Reciprocity treaty based
on free sugar. but France also is entering into
commercial relations with the United States on
a preferential basis. Spain, the most reactionaIy
country in Europe, has been forced TO open the
markets Of Cuba and Porto Rico on equitable
terms to American exports. England in like
manner has been compelled to sanction the Reel
procity conventions with its West Indian colonies
and TO modify a series OF colonial tariffs by
which it's own manufactures were favored at
the expense Of American products Reciprocity

The bill to secure important aid from the
Government for the Columbus Exposition is ready
for submission to Congress to-day. 1t provides
for an appropriation of S6O5O,OOO in all, OF
which $4,000, 900 is to be practically loan,
to be repaid from the receipts. 1t will be dis
creditatle to the country if there is any factious
opposition to the measure. President Harrison
expressed the general sentiment when, in his re-
cent message, he urged liberal treatment Of this
enterprise. The honor of the Nation is pledged
TO make the Exposition success on the grand

Senator Hill had plausible excuse for leav-
ing Washington on Friday and coming to New
York He is a member of the Committee on
immigration, which came here on official busl-
ness. But does any one imagine that Hill at
tended to his duties as a Senator in this matter!
OF course he didn't. On the contrary, he re-
ferred to the committees business in tones OF
undsguised contempt, saying that ne had been
TO Ellis Island before and that there was nothing
for him to learn there. His disregard OF the
duties he was elected to discharge is simply
unbounded. His time in New-Yorl has been
spent in hobnobbing with politicians, trying to
make sure that the game he has set up Is not
knocked out in his absence His announced IN
tention is to return to Washington to-day. Those
who remember that he made a similar announce
ment two or three weeks ago, and then siipped
up to Albany TO continue work for HILL Will put
their own construction upon this statement.
Plans are well under way for disgraceiu
gerrymander CT the State by the Democratic
Legislature The fraudulently swollen enumera-
ton returns for New-Yorl and Brooklyn are
part Of this scheme, and there has been studied
attempt in the rural districts to make the popila-
ton as small as p,ssible. Some instances OF
this are cited in cur Albany correspondence, and
the full returns will doubtless furnish conclusive
evidence on the point. The reason isplan On
the strength Of the returns from these two cities
the Democrats propose to give New-York and
BROOKLYN twenty-five Congressman, sixteen SEN
ators and ffty-four Assemblymen. Fortunately,
~ power Of the Democratic majority is limited
