France mas a Perfect Army.

Lord Dufferin, British ambassador at
Paris, has sent to the foreign office a re-
port showing the enormous increase Of
the French army since 1870. The
French army then comprised 3js battal-
ions of infantry, AIS squadrons of cav
airy and 224 batteries of artillery in
the field and sixty in the fortresses
The sappers numbered fifty one com
panies. The French army now in
cludes $50 battalions Of infantry, 42s
sqHadrons Of cavalry. 4s4 field batteries
and ninety-six fortress batteries. be-
sides eighty-three companies Of sappcrs
Moreover, each regiment has a
fourth battalion, and there is also a
large territorial army. The report
says that the condition Of the military
force and of the defenses is unsur-
passed, and that they are well worth
the cost of bringing them up to their
present standard. The French Mediter-
ranean feet has this month been raised
TO nearly its full strength by the com
missioning at Toulon Of the second
and third divisions of the reserve
squadron. The three divisions of the
permanent squadron and the first di-
vision of the reserve squadron had
already hoisted the pennant. 1t should
be explained that the ships OF the re-
serve, though regularly commissioned
with captains and officers, will be sup
piled with only thrce-fifty of their
COMPLIMENTS. They will, however,
have their coal, ammunition and
provisions on board and will be ready

try in the United States amounts to
nothing whatever as competing eco
nomic force. Then, too, we read that
in some of the British industries wages
are declining and the condition Of the
workingmen is becoming desperate,
while the inspector-general of bank
ruptcy, in his recently published re-
port, declares that the increase in
bankruptcy ''is due to the effects of the
Mckinley tariff law"
Conclusive as this testimony would
seem to be, there are other facts, re-
lating to the industrial situation at
home, which are equally striking as
corroborating the statistics from
abroad. One of the latest evidences of
the beneficent effects of the Mckinley
law is furnished in the report Of the
Massachusetts, bureau of statistics OF
labor This bureau has always been
regarded as one of the most trust
worthy in the country, and its reports
have come to be accepted as indisputa-
BILE by all fair-minded men. The re-
port for 1891, which has just been pub
lished, shows that, comparing that
year Win low, GicIC w do al ibSlDdoO
of 2.65 per cent. in the amount of wages
paid during the year, the aggregate
paid being S., 1886, 945 greater in 1891
than in 1890. The largest increase was
in wooden goods, amounting to 7.15
per cent. 1t is noteworthy that the
report of the United States finance
committee, which embraced the whole
country, made the increase in woolen
goods manufactures 700 per cent. The
Massachusetts statistics strikingly
confirm the figures given by Commits
sioner Peck as to the improvement Of
New York industries. A recent report
of the Indiana labor bureau bears sim
liar testimony touching the influence
of the Mckinley tariff upon wages and
production. The fact is that all testi-
mony, from whatever quarter, is con-
current as to this point, and it is most
surprising that anyone should under
take to deny facts so obvious and con-
elusive. No amount of special plead
ing or manipulation of statistics can
change the facts in the case. Protec-
ton is everywhere stimulating our in
dustries, increasing the earnings Of
workingmen, and augmenting our abil-
ity as q people to compete in many

PROTECTION TESTIMONY.
American Industries Stimulated Through
the Mckinley Bill.


The efforts of the democracy to per-
suade the people that protection is
fraud" and that the Mckinley tariff
act affects iniuriously the industrial in
terests of the country, seems to be at
tended with increasing difficulty. All
the facts in the case directly contra
vene their insistment, but that perhaps
would not be regarded by them as an
insupcrable obstacle il the evidences
against them did not continue to multi
ply with such amazing rapidity. Among
other testimony that of the commercial

the textile industries are harassed by

Sheffield, Bradford and other centers,
where it is stated that certain old
branches of business have been prac-
tically destroyed by the Mckinley act.
The chairman of the Associated Cham
bers of Commerce of the United King
dom, in making these statements, add

in the present conditions" Along with
these declarations we have others as
to the decline of the tin-plate industry,
