From an American standpoint the
trade returns OF the Dominion Gov
ernment demonstrate the practical re.
suit of the Mckinley set. The injury
done the Canadian producers cannot
be overestimated. The returns show
that Canadian farm products, as the
result Of our tariff legislation, have
been diverted from the United States
into British channels. The prices
have not been as satisfactory as those
formerly received in the United States
markets. The past season Canada
sent S,5O0,00O dozen eggs to England
instead of 5000 dszen. She sent
nearly ten times as many horses to
England this year a. last year. England
previously purchased most of her
horses from France. This diversion
of Canadian products from the United
States has vastly increased the home
market for our own farm products,
while not at all diminishing our ex-
ports. The tariff is indeed o tax, but
is a tax on the foreign producer and
exporter.

The explosion caused by the Anar-
chists in France, Belgium, Italy and
Spain have been directed against
property or against some inferisr
magistrate or official who has in
Cured their cnmity. But in Russia
the attacks of the Anarchists arc
aimed at the ruler of the land, and
they mean attempted murder every
time. Therefore the discovery which
has Just been made of a number OF
mines under the CATCHING Palace, st.
Petersburg, extending a distance OF
several kilometers around the palace,
naturally causes great fear that another
plot exists to kill the Gar. Russia is
the battle ground of the Anarchists
and the Gar is their target: tn ley are
only skirmishing in the rest of Europe.

1t may be q question whether the

The testimony of the late Sir John
A. Macdonald concerning the work
ings of the tariffs conclusive in prov
ing that If the tariff is a tax il is paid,
net by Americans, but by those who
ship their goods to the United States.
The Canadian premier said:
at is a tax, and Ill prove it to you
in q sentence. Suppose I had 1000
bushels of barley Oh this (ihe Cana
dian) side which I desire to sell in the
United States. Under present law In
America 1 must pay Is cents per
bushel, or $3.50 in all upon my 1000
bushels, before 1 am permitted to
cross the line with my barley, and
when I do cross the line with ii how
much do I get for IL? Why, 1 get the
American price, the same that barley
is selling Cor ever there. don't add
TO that price the Is cents per busheI
that i paid IN 1t the custom house.
Therefore, 9the tariG is tax ont
unfortunately it isa tax upon our
people who ship their produce to The

Il DID Have . seriess Leek.

There was once a man who had q
wooden leg. The mau was an officer
in the Union army. He had lost his
leg at Sharpsburg But the wooden
leg was such a good one that its owner
still passed for a biped, even among
some of his intimate friends.
One day a runaway negro, a coll
traband, strolled into camp, and the
officer engaged him as his body ser
want.
After looking long upon the wine
one night at a little dinner, the officer
came home to his tent. He called his
c~ontraband to help him pull off his
boots.
"Now, SAM" he said, abe careful.
One of these boots be tight, and it
most pulls my leg out 10 get it of.
Besides, l feel rather fimsy.7
When the %contraband began to pull
at the other boot the officer loosened
the strap of the wooden leg a little.
Same pulled hard and things came
with q rush.
"I,sc allus k~eerful, boss" replied
Sam, aud he carefully removed the
first boot.
"There, There, I told you 10 be
careful" shouted the officer as the leg
came of.
sam saw the leg protruding from
the top Of the boot which he had pull
ed of.
His eyes bulged out like q Holsters,
and he yelled just once as he sprang
for the door.
1Lemme go, lcmme gos' he shriek-
ed, as he dashed through the group
outside. II never done muffin, fore
Gawd! 1 never done nufinT' and he
was still yelling when he disappeared.
They never saw him in camp again.

sThe Republican handbook of
1892" makes the Force Bill One of the
leading issues OF the approaching
presidential campaign. Let Demo-
Gratis make q note of this-and vote
and work accordingly"
The Era of the 18th contained the
above brilliant warning. The whole
Democratic party::is awfully afraid Of
the so-called Force Bill. Why? Be-
cause they have had a most terrible
force measure in one-tbird of tho
States Of the Union. They fierce Re-
publicans TO stay away from the
polls. They force Republicans to re-
fuse to run for Office by threats of
assassination, as they did General
Chalmers in Mississippi in 1890.
They force the tally sheets to favor
a Democrat and declare him elected
if they have to steal the ballot boxes
10 do it. Then in case of contest, rs
! with Col. Clayton in Arkansas in 1888,
give the Democrat the certificate and
Kill the Republican. No Force Bill
required for that party. No force in
New York when Hill and his tigers
stole the State Legislature. No force
to disfranchise Republicans, but
merely q bill to compel Democrats to
respect the law is Force Bill, and all
Democrats must "vote and work
against H."
There was NJ Force Bill at Jones.
boro, Ark, last week, when a few
Republicans, men as honest and re.
spectacle as any in the State, arranged
to organize a Republican club. They
were worried by the same Demo-
cratic party: "No Republican club can
be organized here" No force about
that. No, the law would not sustain
one party in such high handed
anarchy; but in the darkness of night
a shot gun in the hands OF q good
Democrat makes it better than a
Force Bill.

THE DANCE OF TRE DAY.
Some 81 the Features Of she wen

Some 81 the Features Of the Even

The girl of the period has grown
recklessly independent. Now the

of what she is pleased to call equality.
What until quite recently was 8 ball

failure. and a thing of which ahostess
stood in greater dread than OF failure
of the piece de resistance at the din
ner Or supper table. The dancing
man knew his value, and tried to
augment it by giving himself the air
Of a>martyr when entering a ball
room; the girl suffered him for awhile
in this character, and then-sincc she
has grown so very energetic aud in
Observation-Disclosures to do with
out him.
Now she gives a skirt dance or q
minuet with a beautiful impartiality
that deserves admiration, and the
mel may admire or stay away as
they please; it ia. immaterial TO the
girls. Girls dance. after q dinner
party as formerly they gave a song.
You see, the style of dress that is re-
quired for these dances. is almost
identical with the ordinary dinner
dress. A dress with a train does
beautifully for a minuet, and the
umbrella shaped skirt of this season
is just the right thing for skirt dane
ing. 1t must be twelve yards wide,
so that it q be gracefully taken up
by the dancer, but as fashions 60 that
is no extraordinary width.
1t is NOT only the daring few who
have the heart to perform singly l.e-
fore a drawing room OF spectators.
Skirt dancing will be very general
indeed at this seasons dancing. Step
dancing will, indeed, be "all the rage
and the fashion will not end with the
season. -
One thing which is greatly in favor
of skirt dancing is the fact that it is
so much more artistic and beautiful
than the ordinary round dances. But
this is not the chief reason pitts popu-
larity. Men are very lazy. They
won't dance, and it gets more and
more difficult to get them to learn
and practice dancing. Girls, on the
other hand, arc extremity fond of it.
Of course two girls can dance a
round dance together, and l have
often seen it done, but it docs not
look well. With step dancing and
skirt dancing it is quite different. 1t
looks very charming If two girls
dance a minuet or a national dance, |
or II one girl alone does skirt dancing.
1t makes them entirely independent
of men as partners in a dance, and
that, OF course, is of the greatest adj
vantage.-N.- Y. PTrss.

James A. Wright, of the .Inman
Steamship Line, says: 1--WE believe
that we can build good ships in this
country as cheaply as we can in Eng
land. Labor is higher over here, but
they do better work. In the building
of cheap and loosely put-together
tramps we, of course, can not compete.
That class of vessels a he built
cheaper on the other side" Mr.
Wright strikes the keynote of pro-
lection. BY protecting our workmen
we have made skilled laborers Of them.
Cheap labor makes cheap men and
well paid labor, makes skilled and
energetic workmen. What is true OF
shipbmlding is also true of nearly
every other branch of lababor.

The friends of the defunct Blair
bill viii find an argument to sustain
their original position in the hne and
cry which Jacksonville, Fla, is max
ing, because the trustees of the Slater
Fund flor the education of colored
chi!dren) have decided to cut of the
appropriation for the school in that
city. The newspapers of Jacksonville
say excellent work was being done in
the school, and that to withdraw the
money means that "the. industrial
work must cease, again, @the work
has gone on successfully"
II John Slater's money a do such
good work for Jacksonville, why
could. not Uncle Sans millions have
worked an educational revolution
among the blacks of the South, the
money being properly applied, OF
course, and supplemented by the pro-
ceeds of local taxation? There is no
prospect of a speedy resurrection of
! the Blair bill, but had Southern lead
ers not lent an a to. 4 few Northern
Mugwump doctriuaires. the first 81
100000 of the great fund might now
be doing its splendid work OF educat-
ing the black children of the South
under the best instructions in q
modern way. As it is now, the .rulc
is to turn the little n over. to H.
Hterate or otherwise incompetent
teachers.
The. best educational work jig the
South to-day is being done through
Northern agencies, as Mt the Hampton
Institution and the Atlantic Uniyersi:
ty. Had the South ;!disregarded the
sopbistries of the theorists who op-
posed the bill (they had the assurance
to base their arguments on humanity
and consideration for the blackl, a
generation of colored children might
now be growing up, much more in
telligent and ambitious than their
parents, and vastly superior 10 those
children of to-day being trained in
the old ruts, or, more probably, being
trained in the streets. The South
never goes hunting for colored boys
who play 'hookey' or cOlored girls
who lack ambition.
"a boy is better unborn than un.
taught" the French say, and Wendell
Phillips might well have had in mind
those able to influence the destiny OF
the Southern Negro when he said;
Education is the only interest worthy
the deep, controlling anxiety of the
thoughtful man." The beneficent
Blair bill was designed to omancipate
the mind and soul of the Negro as
Lincoln emancipated his body. The
South refused. That section will
continue to pay the penalty by the
presence of an illiterate, unframed
and restless population. And its
growing all the time.
