would seem almost an impos.

through one winter The only chance
for life at all Is that Of falling in with

It IS scarcely conceivable, however, that
he had found such an opportunity before
Lieutenant Peary left and it Is improb.

enough to take chances Of forming
such relations after hiding TIL his

however, that Verhoef was absent by

deserted the expedition. All clothes

Even His Firnres Lie.

New York Times.
Mr. Harrison sets out with an extern
sive but heterogeneous and confused ar
ray Of figures intended to show the great
prosperity Of the country for the last
thirty years, during-and, according to
him in consequence of-the application
Of the high protective tariff to foreign
imports. The assumption of post ergo
propter throughout this part of his mes
sage cannot but be apparent to every
reader, though it seems so completely to
have escaped the notice of Mr. Harrison
that he has not even perceived that his
facts disprove his inferences Thus at the
beginning Of the message he shows from
the census reports for only seventy-fve
cities i'm the Union that there were in ten
years the following advances IA manufac
turing capital and in the number Of en-
ployes:
Capital, ,e32 $40
Capital, 1870 dgQ.............,........ 2,eUO,35.SS4
LIhpioyea' ie5I. ..''..'...........'....,.' l5les5
Employees ls9O............ ..............2,2jO,l ,l4
Increase. e........................ ..... 9is1i6
This Is an increase per year of $l6l,
OOO OOOin capital and of 9J. 600 employees.
'fAN tNtf AAttAA AfipA n'Nn VII W nnNW NAlN
according to the American Economist
the organ Of the Protective league not
likely to underestimate the progress
under the Mckinley tariif-the increase
Of manufacturing capital in the two
years of that tariff was $40, i49 $50, and
the increase in the number of employees
for the same two years was 80, 2S5. This
Is an increase per year of little over
$4,000, 600 In capital about one-eighth
of the average for the ten years previous
and an increase in employees Of less than
$4,000 per year, or one fifth Of the
average for ten years previous. The
Economists reports are, Of course.
incomplete, but they are compared with
the returns of only seventyfve cities.
We have never believed that the McKin-
ley tariff was or could be, stimulus TO
manufacturing, but we should have hest
tated to ascribe TO Il so blighting an in
iluence as Mr.. Harrison here reveals.
Doubtless his figures are worthless, but
the way he uses them shows how blinded
he is by personal and party feeling.
After such an exhibition, it is not sur
prising to see him referring to the statis-
tics of the unfortunate Peck, Labor Com.
missioner of New York, in cool disregard
of the fact that that gentleman preferred
TO burn the returns ON which these sta
tistics were said to be based rather
than submit them rs a text for the statis-
tics.

CONCERNING the message Of the man
who slipped under the snow and was
hurt more seriously than was suspected
the Philadelphia Times says.
It was hoped that the president would
at least give the country some accurate
information about the condition of the
public treasury, but his statement Is rs
cloudy as his apology Is flippant BY some
kind of estimates, Of which the details
are not given, he figures a surplus of two
millions for the current fiscal year. a
ludicrously close margin, with balance
of twenty millions, counting In reserves.
redemption funds, small change and
everything in site. This apparently pro.
vides for no payments TO the sinking
fund and counts all unexpended apprO
priations as assets, though this fact is
not clearly stated. For the coming year
the estimate is quite as vague, the whole
subject being disposed Of incidentally, as
It were. with an implied "What are YOU
going TO do about itY
