THE STRIKING SWITCHMEN.

The flea that any body of strikers are
authorized to burn a city, and that is
murder to oppose them with force, is

Pirkertons is because it is public opin-

bers is shown to be $4,000. The av-

THE EAGLE SCREAMS.

President Harrison has done entirely
right III issuing his proclamation sus-
pending the right Of free passage for
Canadian freight through the Sault
canal III retaliation for the dfscrimin "a
ton in Canadian canals against Amer
lean trasle.-Detroit FreesPress.
President Harrison has again shown
that he can face all emergency in diplo-
macy as bravely as he faced the enemy
iii the War of the Rebellion. In the
matter of the canal tolls the American
people wanted no compromises and no
conferences with the Tories Of Canada.
Duluth Tribune.
The Canadians delayed and haggled
over the business until patience ceased
to be virtue, and the president has
iShuess bys retaliation in kind. 1t is to
be hoped that this condition of affairs
will not continue for any length Of
time, since it is Instantaneous to both
cOuntrieS.-Detroit Tribune.
This is an emphatic protest against
/ Canada's Injustice. and it remains to be
seen whether it will call forth any con-
cesSion within the ten days of grace
now left. There has been plenty of
f0rbearance exercised by tine American
government in the matter, and Canada
can only blame its own ministers if it
find the eye for an eye and tooth for a
tooth method of diplomacy distasteful.
-Pittsburg Dispatch.
Congress al its last session authorized
the president to adopt this retaliatory
policy in the event of the Canadian gov
eminent falling to fulfill its obligations.
That it has done, and Mr.. Harrison
makes vigorous answer. The course of
the Canadian authorities on the ques-
ton has not been fair or frank. Instead
of performance it put Off our admins
trat;on with flimsy and unsubstantial
promises. 1t lodged the question at
issue, and it now has to face the music.
We shall have no further nonsense Oh

cOrder.
The Canadian government affects to
be surprised because President Harri-
son has issued proclamation putting
III force one portion of the retaliation
law against Canada, OH account of the
discrimination practiced against Ameri-
can vessels in the Welland canal. 1t is
difficult TO understand why the Cana
dian authorities should be surprised at
this move. they had timely warning
that such action would be assuredly
taken If the discriminating tolls were
not abOliShed.-Duluth Herald.

A DOUBTFUL THOMAS.

More than Canadian canal tolls, more
than PagO-Pago, more than any other
of the great affairs of state, the question

the energies of the administration at

Every now and then the announcement
goes forth that the trick has been done
that THOMAS has girded up his loins
and faithfully promised to demolish
New York Democracy. Fervent is the
rejoicing when this permeates the adj

lived. 1t is invariably checked by Mr..

Sulliyan's Training.

Setting aside all considerations of the mo-
ralty of prize fighting, of its tendencies to
lower the standards of the refnemsn of per-
SONS who read about or witness it. there can
be no question concerning the general inter
est attending the training of John L. Sulli-
van at Bay Head, L. l. Even in the present
civilization the perfect development Of the
body is ambitiously striven for, though sell
dom attained. Health ana strength are two
great factors in success no matter what the
means chosen to attain them. The physi-
cal examination Of this man at Bay Head ON
Saturday, therefore, conveyed much deeper
lesson than Is presented in the possible
change in betting or in the results next
month.
OF course. to attain supreme strength and
agility the foundations of thoroughly
healthy organism must have been laid but
in Sullivan's case this is generally conceded
to have been weakened by dissipation and
more than careless mode of life. Yet his
training has, to use colloquialism, ''set him
up" From the examinations Saturday it
would seem that nature, assisted. had re-
plenlshed the stores OF strength and endur.

sisted by careful and systematic exercise,

WHO ARE PROTECTloN1sTs i?

WHO ARE PROTECTlON1STS ?
Always and everywhere the protec-
Zionist is, as the name implies. man
who believes that the people are incapa-
BILE not only of governing themselves.
but of conducting their own affairs.
They may not admit this, but go where
you will, you will find them acting on
it. In Germany it was BISMARCK who
laid his iron hand on all movements to
enlarge the liberties of the citiZenrY.
aud who forced protection OIL the en-
pire. In France it is the spirit of the
old nobility which has swung that ma
ton into ultra-protectionlsm. In Eng
land it is only the aristocratic, Tory,
upper classes, who are trying under the
name of ''fair trade" to restore the pro-
tectionism which made the lord of the
land so powerful. In this country.
where wealth, not title. is the badge of
aristocracy, protection is demanded by
the classes who have accumulated money
by it. 1t is the Tory, ''My lord" in
England, the count or baron in Ger
many or Italy, and the sugar king or
millionaire steel master in this country,
who declare that the country will go to
the demnitlon bOwwowS headlong if only
men are left to manage their own busi-
ness, and to buy where they can buy the
cheapest and sell where they can get the
best price. 1t is the Democrat. the
GLADsToNEs of England and the con-
tinent, the MILLS and CARLIsLEs and
GEORGES of this continent, who say men
know best where and how to trade, and
that they must be left free to do as they
will.

A Republican Campaign Lie
Nailed by a Country Merchant.
To the Editor of the Globe
/ clip the following from today's issue
of the Pioneer Press:
Scarcely any mention is being made
by Democrats and Populists of the fact
that binding Irvine has declined III price
about S311s per cent within twelve
months. Such oversights as these are
constantly occurring, and give rise to
the suspicion that the demagOgues are
not quite frank with tine people.
AS country merchant, beg leave to
differ with the Pioneer Press as to the
price of binding Irvine declining 333 115s
per cent within twelve months. The
Irvine that l bought to sell to my trade
for the harvest of 1892 cost me about
one cent more per pound than that l
laid in for the harvest of 1891, being an
increase of about 10 per cent instead of
decrease of 1875 per cent, as claimed
by the Pioneer Press. bought of the
National Cordage company both years,

THE SCHOOL PLANK.

"The school is not an ISSUE" cry the
Republican papers. 1.-The Democrats
are using it only as vote trap" they
say. Who injected the school question
into the issues of the day? The Repub-
licans of the states of Wisconsin and
Illinois. Why? Not to make an issue
between parties at all; but simply be-
cause the BENNETT law grew naturally
out of Republican ideas of the proper
functions of government. They were
very much disconnected when they
found that this instance of their pater-
nalism aroused opposition among class
Of their voters who had been blind to its
other forms. This discovery cost them
the state of Wisconsin, and will cost
them this year the state of Illinois.
Repeal of the law did not serve i'm the
former state. The voters interested
had learned at last the truth, that Re-
publican protection and BENNETT laws
and the sumptuary legislation of that
party were all children of the one
parent, paternalistic government; and
that, with that party, it is always
ouly question of mere policy
as to how far it should compel
interference with the liberties of the
citizen. The Democrats use the school
plank to emphasize the radical distinc-
ton between the basic principles of
their and the Republican party. We
say that the state exhausts its educa-
tional functions when it has provided
the opportunities of education for its
youth. and that the use of those oppor-
tunities must be left to the sense Of
responsibility of the parent. So with
trade and commerce; the Democratic
party says that no government has tine
wisdom or right to attempt to direct or
guide or influence the Industrial activi-
ties of its citizens; that they are capa-
BILE of doing this for themselves; that
good policy requires that it be left with
each individual to manage his own BUSH
ness as he will. be unhelped or unim-
peded by the government. AS with the
