THE GROWING FOLLY.

The following from the Boston Jour
nal shows the feeling in regard to a
speech recently delivered by Senator
Proctor in the y. S. Senate:
"One Of the most striking speeches
thus far delivered in the course of the
tariff debate can be credited to Sec
rotary Proctor of Vermont 1t has to
do more with hard, actual facts than
abstract theories, and it deals with
aspects of the question which are es-
pecially important to New England
ers.
Mr.. Proctor devoted his whole elab-
crate address to a consideration of
the effect of the proposed Democratic
tariff legisla ton upon our CONNER
cial and political relations with the
rest OF the American hemisphere. On
the one hand, he pointed out, to the
southwark are the Latin American
republics, possessing our friendship
and deserving our sympathy in their
efforts to maintain our common prni-

SUGAR AND THE TARIFF.

Some complications are likely to
arise before the sugar schedule is dis
posed Of in the Senate. The Republi-
can plan is now pretty we'll under
stood and the leaders feel very con-
fident that they will be able to unite
their entire party Of thirty eight to
support an amendment to put sugar
on the free list. The three or four
senators who have shown au unwill-
ingness to support the proposed free
sugar amendment have consented to
stand with their party providing there
is "a fair prospect Of defeating the
sugar schedule in the pending bill. 1t
is understood that Senator Hill, who
has been negotiating with the Re
publican managers, has agreed to de-
liver all of the Populist votes in favor
of the free sugar amendment.
The understanding is that if the
sugar schedule is defeated, the Re-
publicans will vote solidly for an
amendment to restore the sugar
bounty. The. Populists prefer. the
bounty to the pending sugar schedule.
The Louisiana senators would also
gladly accept this solution of the
sugar question. They are not entire
~ satisfied with the schedule as it
stands in the bill, but would accept
this rather than no legislation at all
IF this scheme can be successfully
carried out the tariff bill is likely to
have hard road to travel before it
gets through the Senate.
The Democratic managers, how
ever, appear to be fully aware of
what is going on between Hill and the
Populist contingent and the Republi
can managers. They do not believe
that it can be successfully carried out.
If the four Populists should vote for
the free sugar amendment, and Hill
should join them, it would still re-
quire another vote to carry the
amendment. In this contingency it
is alleged that Hills colleague, Murphy
would join him, which would carry
it. There is no Disgusting the fact that
the Democrats are becoming very
nervous over the situation; they
know that Hill is both adroit and I'M
scrupulous, and to accomplish his
purposes will resort to all kinds of

ciples of self government. The prod
ucts Of these countries, for the most
part, are unlike our own, and their
free admission to our markets Injuries
no American producer. To the north
ward is Canada, a foreign dependency,
almost the last remaining relic of Eu-
ropean domination in America,
country, to quote Mr.. Proctor, 'po-
litically, if not menace, at least
nuisance to the United States For,
strangely enough, that country though
allied to us in blood and language, ha-
bitually plays the part of jealous
and unfriendly neighbor, and comes
nearer than any other on the planet
of being our persistent enemy
Strangely enough, too, it is Canada
which Democratic craftsmanship
has singled out for especial favors in
the pending tariff legislation. AS
Senator Proctor says, this bill pro-
poses to discriminate against our sis
ter republics, which SO especially de-
serve our consideration, and in favor
each case must result to the great
disadvantage of our own producers,
especially the agricultural classes, and
the permanent injury Of our largest
national INTERESTS
''It is practically rebuking fair and
friendly dealings, and putting pre-
MUM upon unfriendliness and hate.
1t is rewarding the fixed and acknowl-
edged Canadian policy of 'harassing
the Yankees with rich privileges in
our American markets, which by the
same act are denied our republican
allies who have always looked to US
with admiration and affection.
Gin it's strictly commercial aspects,
the German bill is grave blunder,
but in it's international aspects it is
monument Of imbecility. It reverses
and repudiates traditions which have
guided our foreign policy ever since
the founding Of our Government"

Prof. D. NJ. Bristol and his famous school
of thirty perfectly educated horses, mules
and ponies will begin n two nights engage
ment at Barton Opera House next Wed. even
ing. On Thursday afternoon matinee will
be given, at which all children attending will
be given free pony ride. This will be Prof
Bristol's first visit to this town, and all who
desire to a novel, unique, interesting and
amusing ENTERTAINMENT, should not fail to at
tend. In addition to the horses the Professor
carries with him twenty-five people, full
military band and superb concert orchestra,
the whole concern being transported from
place to place in magnificent palace cars,
built expressly for Prof. Bristol and under
his personal supervision. We mention these
facts that our readers may form some idea of
the magnitude of the concern. To make it
the best and largest show ever organized, the
management have invested the sum of $4,000,
and it is now the only show of it's kind-ex-
clusively horse-in the world. These horses
go promptly and precisely through all sorts
of military, drill Mathematical exercises,
