BENEFITS OF PROTECTION.
A Reliable Source of Revenue for Govern
 mental Purposes.

A Reliable Source of Revenue for Govern
 mental Purposes.
 The Canadian parliament has been convulsed with the question of protec- tive duties, almost equat to that of the national congress of the United States. Very truly have the friends of protec- tion in Canada said Ut should not be forgotten by our electors of Canada that when the liberal party ask them to abandon protection to home indus. tries, they are asking them to do a thing which the people of every other country in the world, with the single exception of Great Britain, have re- fused to do"
 Sir John Mcdonald Is quoted as hay ing said, upon certain occasion: "The American farmer raises his one hundred bushels of barley and starts for his market and receives one hun dred dollars. The Canadian farmer raises his one hundred bushels of bar ley and starts for the American mar ket and is met by the government of- ficer to whom he must pay fifteen dol lars, before he can put it upon the market, where he receives his one hun dred dollars, so that he returns home with only eighty-fve dollars, having left the other fifteen dollars with the American custom house officers" Pro- tection compels Canada to pay tribute to the United States.
 What is said in the foregoing aptly illustrates the workings and methods of protection throughout the world. The people of the United State are now beginning to realize the truth of this practical method of raising revc- nue, since the whole country has been thrown into a panic for nearly two years by the promised change in the bill now before congress.

Democrats Lack Even tho Elementary
 Principles of statesmanship.
 It is becoming very evident, if there was ever any doubt about it, that there is not room in the United States for two protectionist parties at the same time. The democratic party must have discovered this before it framed and adopted the Chicago plat form, and by various devices, some of them not particularly reputable, made their opposition to protection win in 1892. No sooner, however, had they undertaken to put their free-trade theories into practice than they found nearly the whole coun- try ar.ayed solidly against them. The very fear of what they might do created a paralysis of domestic industry, a withdrawal of capital and a shrinkage in the de- mand for labor, accompanied, neces- sarily, by reduction in wages. Then the democratic party grew frightened at the demon 1t had involved and fled for refuge to the fortress of protection. But instead of knocking at the gate and demanding entrance, it climbed over the walls and sneaked through the wickets, and even when inside de- nied that it had asked shelter of pro- lection and asserted that it still ad- hered to the banner of what it called tariff reform.

These figures will in large meas. ure explain matters to those who have been skeptical with reference to the use of money in the elections in New York city, by which Tammany con- tinues it's power, and all efforts to de- throne it have been futile. In 1899, when so much was expected from the city of New York in sustaining Tam many against the arbitrary candidacy of Grover Cleveland, it was thought that break would be made, but here is seen the silent force which must bind together Tammany and the can didate of the democratic party, no matter what the conditions may be. Tammany was not in q condition to repudiate anything.

Figures have recently been furnished by the New York democratic newspapers, and authenticated by the Lcxow commit tee, which warrant the statement that a democratic campaign fund has been usually raised by other methods than that of personal contribution. The following figures are authenticated by at least five of the leading New York papers us the sum raised in one year from the following sources:

FRANCE AND MADAGASCAR

BY Cable to the United Press.

PARIS, Sept "a. 1S94.-The "Paris
Journal publishes an interview with NJ.
Flourens with reference to affairs in
Madagascar, in which the eN-Foreign
Minister says that, in his opinion, Great
Britain is exciting the Hova Govern
ment to resist the demands made by
France, and that, in order to thwart
Great Britain. it will be necessary for
France to expedite such military action
as will crush the HovaS.
Deputy Deloncle has written a letter to
the ''Matin" in reference to the recently
published statement that the trouble be
tween France and Madagascar is the sub
jeet of constant communication between
the foreign offices of Great Britain and
Italy, and that the latter power, with
the knowledge of Germany and Austria
has proposed a pact according to the
terms of which Egypt is to be definitely
annexed by Great Britain.
Trpoli is to be occupied by Italy, and
the independence of Madagascar is to be
guaranteed by both powers. In this let
ter NJ. Deloncle says there is no reason
why the British and Italian Governments
should seek war with France. Great
Britain has left France at absolute lib
erty to deal with Madagascar. The Brit
ish Government knows that France is
ready for war against the annexation
of either Egypt or Tripoli.

LEo-ORIsPI- -HUMBERT.
No Reconciliation Possible Until the
Italian Court Vacates Rome.

Bu Cable to the United Press.
LONDON, Sept. "a, 1S94-The represent
atiye in Rome Of the United Press tele-
graphs that the doubt which was felt
at first regarding the honesty of Premier
Crlspi's speech at Naples still continues.
The Pope thought the speech was made
with the intention of drawing from the
Vatican an expression of the views as
certained regarding the question of a re-
conciliation, and, therefore, issued in
structions to all officials of the Vatican
to maintain the strictest reserve on that
subject. The Catholic press was also
advised to leave the matter untouched.
A person closely connected with the
Papal household says that Signor Crispi,
finding that a tendency toward rap
prochement existed between France and
Germany and the Vatican, feared the
isolation of Italy, and, therefore, sought
a reconciliation with the Vatican. He
has been given to understand that the
first condition of such a step will be the
restitution of Rome to the Pope. The
Vatican has gone to the length of stat
ing that no dealings will be held with the
Quirinal until the day when the Court
and Government shall vacate Rome.
When Signor Crispi found that his
overtures had resulted in failure he re-
ceded from the position he had taken and
resumed his old attitude of hostility to-
wards the Vatican. The church officials
are contented that the incident constl-
tutes moral and political victory for
the Pope.
Cardinal Rampoll, Papal Secretary OF
State, has expressed joy that the Crispi
intrigue has been defeated.
