disturbing TO us. They mean that by no u'oh

INCREASING the principal part OF her supplies
from the United States. They mean that inc
effort 10 do so after ten years OF tlial has com
pletely failed And they also mean that our
agricultural schedules, designed to protect the
American farmer, have had the effect OF send
ING Canadian produce in constantly increasing
quantities to London instead OF to New ork'

The American position with regard to Canada
socially, politically and commercially Is neces-
sory and consistent We cannot allow canadian
ports to be the inlet for foreign manufactures
TO the harm Of our own, nor can we confer
mon Canada all the advantages OF ASSOCIATION
with us unless the Provinces are prepared 10
assume the liabilities and responsibilities which
arc the corolaries of such concessions. MIR.
Blal,e's forcible remark, that reciprocity
treaty with tho United States for term OF
years would supply to Canada men, money and
markets, goes directly to the heart OF the
Canadian question. lie referred, OF course, to
our mon, our money and cur markets and to
those that would be procured by reason Of
association with us in foreign transactions.
There is no reason why we should employ our
strength in building up country which intends
IN use and does use, what we give it to our
loss and hunt So long as the Canadian people
prcfer to own allegiance to European Power,
and TO make use of that connection as men
ace in the settlement of American questions,
so long they will deny themselves the full
measure of American sympathy and friendship.
So long they will be looked upon as English
and European, rather than as race OF Amer
cans. When they choose 10 put themselves IN
line with the political sentiment of these con-
tncnts, they will find it easy to trade with
the United states on substantially their own
terms.

TIE WDGLDiS FAIR APPROPRIATIONS

Tho interview with ex-senator McNaughton
published in TIE TRIBUNE on Monday must
have been road with satisfaction by all CITIZENS
of the state who feel an interest i'll the display
which New-Yolk is to make at the Worlds
Fair. Mr. McNaughton is the chief executive
officer cf the States Worlds Fair Commission
crs. and i, doubtless better informed than any
one else regarding what has been done and
what is contemplated in reference to the IN
nosition. II is evident from his statements
that the people of Ncw-York will have no oca-
sion to blush for their State when they visit
Jackson Park One point especially OF tins
interesting interview will not escape attention.
Mr.. McNaughtOn is convinced that the appro-
pria,ion of $500, 900 for Worlds Fair pur-
poses made by the last Legislature will prove
insufficient. That this would be so was fore
seen by large number Of acute observers
wear ago, and the Legislature of 1892 was
urged 10 appropriate not less than hall million
The opposition to so reasonable an appropria-
ton was led by Governor Flower and by John
BOYD Thatcher, member Of the National
Worlds Fair Commission. They secuted the
idea that moro than 100000 would be re-
ouircd. and the Governor made use OF an ex-
nrcssion far less creditable to him than his
famous remark about Long Island votes last
fall
Both of these men have since INDUCED in
sober second thoughts. In his message to the
LEGISLATURE the Governor recommended an adj
diional appropriation of 100000, and even
before that Mr.. Thatcher had come TO the con-
cmsion that double the original amount would
be required 1t is true that last years appro-
nriation has not all been expended yet, but 1t
has all been provided for and its inadcquacy
is clearly apparent. 1t behooves the Legis-
lature to regard with favor the recommenda-
ton for liberal appropriation in addition to
that already made. Whether so much rs
$500, 900 is demanded is question for care
ful considerations 1t is easy enough to see
that the wiser plan would have been to set
aside the 100000 asked for last year. But
the mistake made then should not fail OF cor
rection now. The Empire State must be pre-
pared to hold its own with all the other States
in the great spectacle which Chicago will pre-
sent for the admiring gaze of the nations OF
| tho world.

LETTING SLIP A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY

The man who is letting the golden opportunity
sIir ia Richard Croker The golden opportunity
is the privilege Of riding down pennsylvania
ave. on Inauguration Day, on a spirited high
stepping. bit-champrg. loud-snorting richly ca
parsoned charger, at the head OF the Tammany
battalion 1t had been generally understood in
political and riding circles that Mr.. Croker
was to be one OF the most ornamental or the
many features Of the Inauguration Day exercises
Indeed some of his ardent admirers went to the
length of asserting, without fear OF contradic-
tion,'' that while Mr.. Croker witchcd the main
thoroughfare of the Federal Capital with noble
horsemanship on March it would be
strange il he did not attract as much attention
as Mfr. Cleveland himself Mark my words"
said one of these admirers, nine out Of ten
persons who gaze at the inauguration procession
will be saying to the policemen who are keeping
the crowd back. Say, copy. don't let Dick
Croker prance by without our getting a good
look at him."
But. alas. according 10 the latest advices, it
is not 10 I've. The imposing Inauguration pageant
is TO lack this promised picturesque feature.
II is destined TO be more or less conspicuous by
Mr. Cookers absence from it. Not for him the

1,ryD THE EIGHTH COMMANDMENT

The Legislature has interviewed IN the 20
,umbian celebration frauds in Brooklyn ana
Iocalizcd so far as it was able to do So the
conduct of the indicted officials. IL Is now
confidently asserted that the civil and criminal
proceedings against them will be abandoned.

ourselves with advising good citizens in Brook

Attorneys Office during the next sixty days

which brought to naught the Grand jury IN
vestipation of the excise cases in this town.
II has now gone to the rescue OF large group
~ indicted officials in Brooklyn. II these
nrecedents are followed, it will be at liberty to
naralyze the functions of Grand Juries in other
counties whenever they undertake to expose
public fraud and official corruption. Cynical
citizens who reflect upon these matters will be
likely to asl, whether substitute cannot be

KrW CANADIAN TRADE RETURNS.

Another wear of the so-caled National Pol.
;cv in Canada has produced results entirely
similar TO those that have generally followed
ire operatiou. The Canadian government-year
ends rs does orr own on June 80; but while
our statistics are published with great prompt
ness. the returns from Canada are always de-
laycd. Those for the year 500 have Just been
published. They show an aggregate foreign
trade of something over S241 900, 600, an in
crease over last year OF S23 100000 The
Conservatives, or Government party, hail these
figures with an appearance OF satisfaction; but
they overlook the important TACT that so long
ago as in 1874, under tho operation OF tariff
arrangement which enabled them to deal freely
with us. their country enjoyed an aggregate
trade OF $217 900, 000 or nearly as much as
they had last year. The National Policy has
been in operation for ten years with net re-
suit of increasing the foreign trade of Canada
about half as much as it was increased during
the ten years preceding. The best that can
be said for it as a fiscal and industrial scheme
is that it has not quite ruined the country.
It is a country of such splendid possibilities,
such vast resources and such an energetic and
industrious population that in many respects
| the embarrassments to trade presented by the
| Canadian tariff have been overcome.
| 1t has frequently been said in THE TRIBUNE
that our present trade relations with Canada
are as satisfactory from our point OF view as
any could be except those which would result
upon political union. No form of reciprocity
has been seriously proposed by any Canadian
party which would be likely to render Canada
more dependent OH our markets. both as a
source of supply and as means of export, than
she is now. IL the National Policy has in
iured us at all, it has done so in degree much
less than that by which it has injured Great
Britain. Canada's imports from Great Britain
in 1888 were $4,000, OOO and from the
United States SGT, 100000. In ten years the
supplies from Great Britain have decreased II
