Senator Proctor was surprised to read in
a Washington paper that he was to erect a
palatial marble residence on X street, to
cost 100000, exclusive of the land. He
says that while he is contemplating the
erection of a house in Washington, the
plans are by no means completed, and
when they are, they will not be for a house
that can be called either palatial or eXtrav-
agant

The Change of Policy.

/ recommend that the whole subject of tariff
revs'on be left to the incoming Congress. 1t is
matter of regret that this work must be delayed
for at least three months; for the threat of great
tariff changes introduces much uncertainty
that an amount, not easily estimated, of business
iuaCtiOn and Of diminished production will nee
eSSarily result.
1t is possible also that this uncertainty may re-
suit in decreased revenues from customs duties,
for our merchants will make cautious orders for
foreign goods in view of the prospect of tariff re-
ductiOns and the uncertainty as to when they will
take effect Those who have advocated a pro.
tective tariff can well afford to have their disas.
trous forecasts of a change of policy disappointed.
II a system Of customs duties can be framed that
will set the idle wheels and looms of Europe in
motion and crowd our warehouses with foreign
made goods, and at the same time keep our mills
busy; that will give us an increased participation
in the markets Of the world" of greater value
tina the home market surrender; that will
give increased work to foreign workmen upon
products to be consumed by our people without
diminishing the amount OF work to be done here
that will enable the American manufacturer to
pay to his workmen from 30 to 100 per cent more
in wages than is paid in the foreign mill and yet
to compete in our market and in foreign markets
with the foreign producer: that will further re-
duce the cost of articles of wear and food without
| reducing the wages of those who produce them
that can be celebrated after its effects have been
realized, as its eXpeca alton has been in European
well as in American cities, the authors and
| promoters Of ii will be entitled to the highest
| praise.
We have had in our history several experiences
| of the contrasted effects Of revenue and of a
protective tariff, but this generation has not felt
/ them and the experience of one generation is not
highly instructive to the next. The friends of
the protective system, with undiminished conf.
dence in the principles they have advocated, will
await the results of the new experiment
The President holds that the wage earners may
have been influenced by the strained relations ex-
/ isting between them and their employers dsre-
gardng the fact that their wages are the highest
paid in the world. They may now be able TO re-
view the operation of the tanlf for revenue in the
lhf nF Nl...at
wages are as good as or better than heretofore
/ everyone will reioce.
The society Of the unemployed, now holding It's
frequent and threatening parades in the streets OF

There never has been a time in our history when

farm products has increased from 81 363 $40 SG6 in
1860 to S4,5O0 100000 in 1891 estimated by sta
tisiicians, an increase of 230 per cent.

II any believe that wages or prices, the returns Of

to remember that there is no other country in the

tractive war drama, "The Scout of

Geo. R. Sawin and wife of Boston,
who have been very successful in the
presentation of this drama at other
points. They will take no role in the
cast of characters, but give their en-
tire attention to the supervision of
details. A feature of the play
will be the representations of
s%tatuary. Capt. Roberts is drill
ing the Guard now every week in the
new tactics and preparing them for
the trip to Chicago in 1898. The
proceeds of the drama will help de-
fray the expense of that journey.

THE SAME OLD SWINDLE.

recently received circulars from the

containing a crisp and genuine one
dollar bill, will be interested to know
how a Montreal citizen, who had re-
ceived a similar circular, tried to get
$4,000 for $1,000. A number of in
habitants ofthe interior got together
and raised $1,000, with which one of
them went to New York to bring
back the counterfeit in exchange.
While returning the delegate acted
so suspiciously with his parcel at
Rouse's Point that a customs officer
instituted an Investigation. The
package was opened and found to
contain a common red brick. The
victim was permitted to continue his
journey home.
