The Facts for All Men.

In the Presidential election OF 1892. whom
che Republican electoral vote was 145 the
Democratic electoral vote was 276, to the
fopullsts' beggarly %. This latter figure
was obtained through carrying the States
OF Colorado. Idaho. Nevada. and North
Dakota. and nine votes In Kansas and one
In Oregon. The Democrats. who In 1884
and again In 1883 had reafflrmed the vener-
ated party principle that the tariff and not
The Internal revenue should be the main
source Of revenue. had resolved that hence
forth the tariff should be laid for revenue
only. As Senator PEFFER has since said.
the tariff was Of no particular interest to
the Populists.
Democrats and Populists In regard to q
revenue system were infinitely further apart
than the Democratic electoral total Of 976
and the Populists' 20.
According to the rule Of three. the ma
tonal mandate to the Democrats TO fight
the Populists. to suppress their schemes.
and defend the country from their am
billions, was moro than twice as pronounced
and exacting as tho order they received to
mako war upon the Republicans. And yet

Tho Unwritten Treaty Of Partition.

There are treaties concerning Pacific
Ocean politics which have never been writ
ten. or at least. published.
Such treaty. or understanding. or agree
ment. was believed to exist between Great
Britain and Germany at the time when
q patriotic and shrewd American Consul
General in Samoa, carrying out the patri-
otto policy declared by Mr.. CLEvELANp's
first Administration, thwarted the German
plan to seize those islands. American senti-
ment at home supported the prompt asser-
tlon OF American rights In Samoa. and the
Berlin Treaty. imperfect and unsatisfactory
as 1t Is in many respects. was the immedl-
ate result. Germany did not get the Sa-
moan Islands at that time.
The secret understanding between Eng
land and Germany was then believed TO rest
on this basis: England to have the Tonga
or Friendly Islands; Germany in the end to
have Samoa; and the United States. with
definite and distinct interests in all three

priated In the Pacific. was expected to con-
tent itself with Hawaii. which natural right
and manifest destiny had already assigned
to us. without regard to anything that Eng
landand Germany might say or do.
Subsequent events at In very well with
the theory Of such an understanding be-
tween London and Berlin. England's raid
on Tonga was encouraged and promoted by
Germany. Germany's attempt in Samoa
had the approval and assistance OF Great
Britain; and when the opportunity came.
In the natural course OF events. for the
United States to acquire Hawaii. both Eng
land and Germany were silent.
The game that has been played for years
by the Great Powers for the possession OF
the really valuable islands Of the Pacific.

the next hundred years for the enormous
carrying trade Of the Pacific after the open
ing Of a canal from the Atlantic to the
greater ocean. is now drawing to a close.
1t takes new aspect by the appearance Of
England. through New Zealand. as a can
didate for the possession OF the islands
which the original programme had assigned
to Germany. The one thing certain is that
whatever understanding may have existed.
the Government OF the United States was
never party to it. Our right to proceed
independently with regard to Samoa Is the
same as with regard TO Hawaii.
Apparently few individuals in the DEM
ocratic party think that 1t would be fine
thing to safeguard this country against
future commercial prominence In the Pa
ciiic. The amazing thing about this un-
American policy OF Giye-away Is that 1t
finds its principal support among those
very theorists who clamor most loudly for
free trade. They are willing to sacrifice
every domestic consideration for the sake
OF tarin policy which. as they maintain.

deprive the country ofevery point OF future

They are against American annexation
OF Hawaii. They are against the preserva-

are against American control Of the inter-

In those stirring days the Radicals were
potent chiefly because they supplied ideas

the army aud navy sympathized With such

they really triumphed. because they forced

The Liberal party Of Canada Is clearly

OF the great communities concerned. but
to secure its consummatlon we do not
desire to see the industries OF Canada de-
pressed. prostrated. or destroyed. Far
from 1t. The manufacturers OF Canada are
at a serious disadvantage as compared with
those OF England and the United States.
owing to the smallness OF the Canadian
market. It will not sustain industrial es-
adjustments upon such scale as to per-
NIT OF the most economical division Of labor
or the application OF scientific processes TO
the best advantage.
The average customs duty collected upon
imports into the Dominion for the year
1892 was ~ per cent. Any marked reduc-
tions from this rate would paralyze the
manufacturing industries OF Canada IL not
destroy her industrial investments. without
In the slightest degree enlarging the mar
ket for her surplus natural productions.
Why then mislead the electorate with the
dislngenuous cry OF revenue reform2 II
the Liberal leaders obtained control OF the
Treasury benches. they could not redeem
their pledges without producing dlsas-
trous financial. commercial, and Industrial
revolution.
The adoption by Canadians of so-called
revenue reform will not have any
beneficial influence In securing them
a treaty OF reciprocity with the United
States. Political union is the only door
to the free admission OF the products OF
Canada into this market. Liberals and
Tories alike may as well accept this
statement first as last. and adjust their
fiscal policy accordingly. We do not pro-
pose to barter our market with 100000
consumers. rapidly increasing in numbers
and wealth. for one Of 5.OOO 900 slowly devel-
oping upon this continent.
The Liberals OF Canada boast OF their su-
perior virtue in administration. but In
pressing revenue reform to the front as the
leading issue in a general election they
are proving themselves blind leaders Of the

the electors at the polls.

said that all the recent incoming steam
ers have brought Chinamen returning from
visits TO their native country with a view
TO complying with the requirements OF the
law, and their delay has added TO the ex-
element about the possibility that some
who desire to be registered may not be able
TO find time SO TO do.
But the Chinese allege that they actually
have not been able 10 register In season
from the lack Of facilities. 1t may be re-
membered that In this city they made a
protest TO that effect to their Consul-Gen-
eral. And although on the Pacific coast
the facilities have been much greater.
and the registration, we believe. began
earlier. yet there the number to be regis
tered is far greater than anywhere else;
In fact, IL is from that quarter that the
chief complaints are now coming. Me-
MORALS have been forwarded to Congress
asking relief through an extension OF the
time Of registry.
The question whether the facilities for
registration have been unduly restricted.
through the desire not TO make the cost OF
executing the law too great, is simply q
question Of fact. II this fault exists, with
out undue neglect on the part OF the Chinese,
relief would be only just. Perhaps It would
be we'll to record the names OF all appli-
cants up TO the end Of the statute period. and
then provide for the completion. at leis-
ure. Of the process Of registration. which.
OF course. requires much time In each
instance, An application even on the
last day would be a sign Of good faith in
the matter; and q natural supposition Of
the Chinese would DO that this was q SUM-
cient compliance with the law. They could
hardly be expected to know how long the
process OF issuing a certificate would take,
with the means provided by the United
States Government.
Meanwhile. these must be anxious days
for those OF the Chinese who have learned
that the actual wording Of the law is that
person found without q certificate after the
last day OF grace may be arrested and de-
ported, even though he had applied for 1t
some time before. Possibly the provision
for excusing failure to obtain the certificate
from some unavoidable cause" might
come to the relief OF such applicants. al
though even this could be done. unless Con-
gress intervenes, only after the arrest OF
the delinquent and upon hearing.
