THE MCKINLEY COLLAPSE.

1--WE said So" will no doubt be the remark
of many a Journalist on the cola Sc of the
Mckinley bubble, and to a great extent this
is based on fact, but, at the same time, no
one, we imagine, believed that the collapse
would come so suddenly and so completely.
Its fate is sealed, and the only questions
remaining are the actual date of the tariff
revision which is impending and the extent
of the changes contemplated.
Testimony has been flowing in from all
quarters as to the utter failure of the attempt
to bolster up prices in the States in order
to enrich American manufacturers and
better the earnings of American work
men, and although in a number of cases
these have undoubtedly been the temporary
results, it las been effected by sacrifices of
others which are now discovered to be
insupportable.
Mexico was the first 10 discover this, and
her merchants and public men did not
hesitate to declare their opinion. In EaglanI
it has long been felt that British manufac-
turers were being handicapped by the dis
eliminating duties levied on their goods
under the Mckinley ~tarif-duties which in
some instances shut them out of American
markets as completely as though no demand
existed for such articles. 1t is true that
some British manufacturers had obtained
such a preferential position in the United
States that theif goods continued to be taken
despite the differential duties levied on them,
consumers being content to pay the addi-
tional price necessitated rather than have
recourse TO American made goods-but no
thanks to Mckinley for this, rather to the
superiority of the English articles. Some
of these duties were levied at an ad voIolem
rate of forty, fifty. and, IN some cases
seventy-fve per cent, yet, for all that,
especially in the case of Sheffield and Bir-
~mingham wares, American buyers persisted
in preferring such goods to those made by
their own manufacturers the main object
therefore, of this prohibitive system of
Custom House ~exaction failed in it's results,
and now that British colonies in the West
Indies and foreign countries have discovered
, 1893-10-04

ignorance and barbarism they are not capable
Of being acted upon by the ordinary means
which suffice for the eradication of other
evils to which the human race are subject.
AS very many Of our West Indian readers
are we'll aware, it was at one time hoped and
believed that the efforts made by authority
for the total suppression of the Nominations
p~ractised under the name of Obeahism had
been successful in eradicating this social bane
from amongst West Indian negro communi-
ties. But from accounts which have reached
us of late we fear this is too sanguine view
to take of the matter. In the Southern
States Of America, where slavery once had it's
home, this African plague held sway until
very recently, if indeed it be not still a secret
institution in the less enlightened spots of the
South, but on this point correct information
is wanting.
What this superstitious observance COM
prises is difficult to define, rs much secrecy
has always been obs rived on the subject bv
those who have p~ractised it. Some authori-
ties tell us that cannibalism formed a portion
Of the nefariOus practices which at one time
existed amongst the poor deluded Africans:
that, however, no longer exists, but in its
place We find the grossest superstition, re-
s%embling the witohery of old times in Europe.
Amongst these are pretended exorcisms of
spirits and rites said to be etficacious in the
cure 0 diseases, so rude and meaningless
that only amongst the most ignorant could
they exist.
Such a case as we are abiding to lately
came before a ma sisfrate's court in one Of
the West India Islands, as reported in the
columns of the Dominican. 1t was a most
rubbishy case, but it illustrated to the full
the hold which this system of "Obeah' has
still on some portion Of the negro population.
1t related to the protested performance Of
silly rites TO effect the cure Of a sick child,
the real end in view by the Obeah practi-
TONERS being of course, the obtaining Of money
from the poor victims. And this, nofwirh-
standing tae spread Of education and the
presence of a public press such as it is! OF
the origin of this hateful superstition writer's
on the subject are unable to give amy reliable
account, as it is buried in the obscurity of the
darkest ages Of the dark continent. How
little hope is there Of the civilization Of com
muniti"s impregnated with such degrading
practices.

against the popular feeling, a reaction is
setting in, not only in those countries. but
in America itself, where the false position
taken up by the Mckinley party is now
apparent.
After dealing st great length and in clear
language with the question Of currency the
Presidents Message went on to say lit was
my purpose to summon Congress in special
session early i'll the coming September, that
we might enter promptly upon the work of
tariff reform, which the true interests of the
work clearly demand, which so large a
majority of the people. as shown by their
sufrages, desire and expect. and to the ac-
complishment of which every effort of the
present Administrative is pledged But while
tariff reform has lost nothing of it's Immediate
and permanent Importance, and must in the
near future engage the attention Of Congress
it has seemed t. me that the financial oond;
ton of the country should at once and before
all other subjects BIO considered by yony

Unquestl0nably a great reaction has taken
place IN America IN regard to highly protec.

other hand, American workmen know only
too well that they have not been gamers by
the ogsln-the-manger policy of Nj. Mckinley
and are amongst those who call loudly for a
change of Customs rates.
We're it not for the Overwhelming impor-
lance of the currency question demanding
the earliest attention, the tariff would no
doubt De ready before Congress, but silver
takes the foremost rank in public discussion
and when the dollar has been dealt with we
shall find that both in the House of Repre-

1. o K. writes You recently recorded
the death of Canon Cazenove, whose praise
is in all tho Churches" A cricket feat of
his during his Oxford days should not be
forgotten, and ask a brief space to record
it. He was playing for Oxford University
on the Magdalen ground in 1853 aud took
five wickets in one over, which in those days
consisted Of four ball. He clean bowled
three and two w. Kidding stumped off him.
The umpire was SO astonished at the rapid
fall of the wickets that he lost count and
gave a fifth ball, which took the fifth wicket.
Il saw it with mine eyes" Another cor
respondent refers to another event in Canon
Cazenove's cricket life which is interesting.
Forty years ago the rule as to the bowlers
arm not Using above the level of the shoulder
in the act of delivering abe ball was SO strict
that q few days before the university match
it became necessary to consider whether
Cazenove, though avowedly the best DO wler
i'll Oxford, would be allowed by the UNI pres
at Lords to bowl. With the patriotism of q
true cricketer, though it meant the surrender
of the proud position of captain of the eleven,
Cazenove stood aside rather than risk the
issue of the match with Cambridge, and the
present Provost of Worcester took his place
in the eleven. He had his reward, for Ok
ford, though short of bowling and opposed
to Pontifex and Kempson 1.-TWO of the best
amateur bowlers of the day., won in one
innings making a score unusual in the days
when boundaries were unknown, of 207.-
