About week ago a report was tel
graphed all over the country that
Hon. John w. Mason was a candidate
for Congress. About the only effect
it had was to greatly disturb the free
traders, They at once showed their
fight by declaring publicly what had
been decided upon privately, that Mr.
Harrity would run the campaign, and
that Mr. Wilson would be returned if
money would win. Since then Mr..
Mason has announced that he is not a
candidate; that he fully appreciates
the kindness of his friends, and de
sires 10 be found working in the
ranks. Oar friends" the enemy
can go on raising their campaign
funds, as they may rest assured they
will meet a foeman worthy of their
steel.

TWO PALACES Exploded.

Within the past six months the
President of this country. who is pop
ularly supposed to enibody all wisdom,
solemnly declared to Congress and the
world at large, that the so-called Sher-
man law was the cause of the terrible
financial revulsion which was wreck.
ing business. Congress repealed the
obnoxious measure and the 'cuckoos'
cried out, Behold the good times .
They did this because Grover said
good times would come, but they,
themselves, knew better all the time.
1t is now evident to all that the silver
law was not the cause of the ailment.
Let us go south, cross the boundary
line, and enter our sister republic
Mexico, and see how it is there. In
the current number of the Forum,
David A. Wells, the eminent free
trader, says:
'In Mexico, on our southern bor-
der, although one of its great indus
trial products, silver, has been greatly
deprecated in market value, the credit
of the country was never higher than
during the past year, nor its general
industrial condition more promising
AS is we'll known, Mexico has free
coinage of silver and a protective tar
iff Free traders are not in power
there.
But we do not wish to present a
one-sided argument. We will now go
moth, to the Dominion of Canada, and
inquire how matters stand there. We
present the same witness. In the ar
ticle referred to above, on page 53I, of
the Forum for January, he says
"In the Dominion of Canada, for
example, separated territorially from
us on the north by an imaginary line,
there has been no panic, no unusual
demand for money, no stoppage of in
dustries, no restriction of trade, no in
creased rate of interest; in short moth
ing beyond the ordinary course of
events, except SO far as these events
may have been influenced by CONT
guilty to what may be termed finan-
cial cyclone, whose pathway of de-
struction was contiguous, but not
within its own territory"
1t would be we'll to bear in mind that
Canada is now enjoying an era of I'M
exampled prosperity under protective
tariff laws, in which the protection
Notwithstanding wages paid in
this country prior to the election OF
Grover Cleveland, and the wages paid
in Canada-is higher than in this
country. Wages here were at least
so per cent higher than in Canada. In
other words, miners there receive, say
40 cents ton for mining coal; here
they receive 90 cents, the wages de-
pending largely in both countries up
on the thickness of the vein and the
quality of the coal. Here the tariff on
coal is Is cents ton, there 90 cents.
Thus it is plain that the Canadian
mine-owner is in better shape than his
brother in this country
The condition of Mexico with free
coinage and Canada under protection
being all that could be desired, we are
stren2 thened in the view so frequent

our woes For the life of US we do

Chairman Wilson's Statement.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Chairman
Wilson of the Ways and Means Con-.
mittee has had prepared a statement
showing the quantities and values of
imported merchandise for 1902 and
1898, also the rates of duty and duties
paid for these years, together with the
rates proposed by his bill based upon
like importations.
The duty received under the Nc
Kinley, law for the year 1898 was
sI75 o9S,47I. The duty estimated un-
der the Wilson bill for like period
would have been sIo7, 600. 100, max
ing an estimated decrease per annum
of sos, 4o7 900. The total duty reeeiv-
ed under the Mckinley law for 1892
was SI9S,473,452. The duty estimat-
ed under the Wilson bill for like per
iod would be SIa2 COS, 66S, an esti-
mated decrease of Is, 5o7,7s4.
