Senator Gray's era OF economic re.
form has fully set In at thenew Fed
eral buildings. Under Superintendent
Hollis his salary SO day was the
only expense the Government was un-
der. Bat Mr.. Hollis didn't suit the
Democrats. He was Republican. Mr..
Gray wanted Democrat to I'LL MIR.
Hollis place and he got one In the per.
son OF James W. Ware, a wealthy re.
Tired gentleman.
There was quite a number of Demo
Gratis as competent as Mr.. Ware who
would have liked to have got the ap-
pointment, but they did not suit Mr..
Gray. They were poor and Mr.. Ware
was rich. Mr.. Gray never had much
OF penchant for poor men, though
to have heard him talk about the
poor mans dinner kettle and blankets
1t might have been thought that his
heart was gushing over with tender
ness and his eyes were always filled
with tears.
MIR. Ware had not been appointed
Superintendent many days before he
wanted foreman, and Mr.. Gray, car.
rylng out his economical ideas, lind
bricklayer Joseph Dunlap appointed
at salary Of s. a day. But Mr. Ware
and MIR. Dunlap soon found that a
clerk was needed, and Mr.. Gray, will.
ing to economic still more, had Dick,
oy's man, Hon. ]. Harvey Spruance
appointed clerk at a salary OF SIS ida,
For about three days work a month.
Here are SIG day paid under MIR
Gray's economical plan for work tina
Mr.. Hollis did for Sc day. Ne
doubt each OF these three officials vii
have a deputy. The Democrats art
very dry and very hungry and must
have office, economy to the winds.
II is not improbable that by tho time
the building nears completion $4,000
will have been paid in salaries and an
other appropriation will be needed tt
finish 1t. But no difference, the boy
must have office. 1t was only wrong
for Republicans to be extravagant.

Occasionally IN English write gets
on the right track in regard to the
question OF protection. One OF them
10 recent number OF the fortnight
" Review" q London publication,
gives sensible review OF the question
and warns his countrymen against On.
tertaining too exaggerated expecta-
tions az to the service the Democratic
party will render British trade by ex-
ceesive reductions In the tariff. He
says that a large proportion OF the
manufacturing and commercial pop.
ulation OF England were imbued last
year with the conviction that the cleo
tion Of Cleveland would remove every
obstacle to the unrestricted importa-
ton OF British goods.
He then goes on to show why It Is
unreasonable to expect that the great
est market In the world will be "once
again lying at the feet of British in
dustry and commerce"
The gist OF the argument Is that the
protective policy has proved in prac.
tical operation so eminently beneii-
cial that free trade OF the kind Eng
land would like to see is out OF the
question. In other words, he says
that protection has SO vindicated it.
self as national policy that the free
traders dare not proceed to the length
that was expected OF them.
He says that the protective policy
has won for itself a position from
which 1t will be very hard to dislodge
1t. Amongst the facts set forth is the
striking one that the increase In Brit
ish exports and imports during the
last ten years has been greater than
can be shown as having occurred in
the same space Of time in any country
OF the world. The writer referred to
seems to think that such facts as these
will stand as an impregnable defence
OF the policy England would like to
soc overthrown for her own selfish
purposes.
The article in many ways bears out
the arguments of Protectionists and
is remarkable English testimony as to
the success OF a policy that English
Free Traders and the Democratic
purity OF this country have united in
calling q miserable failure.
