There can be little doubt that the
past year in Canadian affairs has wit
messed the final placement of ideas
which conflict with British connection.
Previously there had been much dis
cassion Of opposing theories as to the
political future of the Dominion; the
Imperial Federation, independence.
and Annexation had partisans who
voiced the respective merits Of each
IN the press and on the platform. Now
there is no such uncertainty apparent.
All shades of political opinion are a
unit in favor of remaining within the
Empire, though it is no less certain
that the political status is not salts
factory. This does not imply desire
for Independence at least it would
he difficult to reconcile any such de-
sire wi.a the offer Of aid and willing
ness to share in sacrifices so readily
expressed by the Dominion Parlia-
ment. Correspondents Of New York
| journals may write as they please
about the annexation feeling alleged
to exist in certain parts Of Quebec:
but their statements do not count for
much in the presence Of patriotism

The Dubuque Herald says Saint
Clara's academy at Sinsinawa Mound
Wis, in spite OF hard times is flour
ishiug as never before. The number
OF her students is increasing weekly
and the general standard scholarship is
very high. The lecture course at the
academy has been very brilliant and
successful ono this season. Rev
Father Burke Of st. Mary's. Evanston,
III, Rev. Or. Carol president Of St
Joseph's college Of Dubuque and Rev.
j. J. Shannon of Canton. Peoria do
cese, are among the latter lecturers,
all on deep and live subjects that
brought out the best powers Of these
young priests. NJ discourse is more
impressive and pleasing than that de-
livered by a cultivated priest who
keeps himself in touch with the best
literature Of the day.

broke out Saturday night between the

works of Chandler q Taylor and a num-
Der of strikers and their sympathizers.
William Watson, Walker Davis and Hook
Lee were shot, Davis fatally, and several
other men were more or less injured
with flying stones and bricks. The
trouble originated over the fact that a
number of nonunion men are employed
in the works, taking places of members
Of the union. A number of fights have
occurred at different times, and the
workmen were constantly under police
guard.

Resolutions Adopted by the state Con
yention.

yention.
THE Republicans Of Wisconsin in
convention assembled, renew their
devotion to the doctrine of protection.
We believe in the adjustment of tariff
duties, for the two-fold purpose of
providing sufficient revenue to meet
the requirements Of the government,
and to furnish reasonable and ade-
quate protection to American indus
tries and labor--a tariff both for rev.
enue and protection. We also renew
our allegiance to the doctrine of reci-
procity We favor as a logical and
beneficial result to protective tariff
laws, such mutual trade arrangements
with foreign countries as will provide
for our manufacturers and producers
a market for their surplus products,
and at the same time enable us to
buy from them under advantageous
conditions, such articles as they pro-
duce and we need to purchase. The
republicans of Wisconsin are un-
yielding in their demand for honest
MONEY. we are undiLcEdull OppOStu
to any financial policy which will give
to this country debased or depreci-
ated cur rency. We favor the use of
silver as currency, but to the extent
only and under such restrictions that
its parity with gold can be maintain
ed.
A resolution favoring Mckinley was
also adopted AS follows"
Resolved, That the Republicans of
Wisconsin recognize in the Hon. VIM.
Mckinley of Ohio. the most distin-
guished champion of the republican
policy of protection and reciprocity;
that we honor him as the defender of
a sound system Of finance, and be-
lieye in him as type of the best
American citizenship in both private
and public life, and we hereby express
to the delegates to be elected to the
st. Louis convention our judgement
that they should use all reasonable
effort 70 secure his nomination for
the presidency

" Futures " in Produce.

The ADVOCATE has received copies
Of two issues of the London Post in
which an intelligent EngllRhman dis
cusses the subject Of culture" trading.
His views are so emlnently correct and
he states them so clearly, that we give
to our readers In his own words few
extracts. He says:
Within the past twenty years an ingenious,
but perfectly unnecessary, international sys-
tenn of trading has been devised, which has
spread with great rapidity to Berlin, Paris and
Frankfort, from New York, Chicago and San
Francisco, obtaining in this country firm
footing Ia Liverpool, London, and other COM
mercial centers, by which the natural busi-
ness Of distributing the products Of the world
Is but . 1.-THE Of the amount Of speculation
to which these markets are now utilized for
gaming purposes, to the immense advantage
OF the mAnipulAtors Of these markets and OF
the thousands Of brokers belonging to these
exchanges, but to the serious loss Of the pro-
duceF, the manufacturer, the Legitimate trader,
and also Of the speculative public. Before
the introduction of this system speculation
was confined TO dealing in the actual article,
90 that operations were limited to the produce
that actually existed, but by this new system
of futures there is practically no limit to the
manufacture of paper wheat, paper beet
sugar, paper cotton, paper wool, etc., with the
natural creation Of an enormous market in
fictitious produce, that upsets the working Of
the natural laws Of supply and demand Of the
actual commodity.
By this artificial system the business In
products under its sway Is reduced to simple
game entirely for the beneht OF those who
manage the markets, and Of the numerous
The advocate., 1896-05-27

brokers who bring business to the exchanges
All these undoubtedly flourish, and gorgeous
exchanges indicate somewhat the wealth ex-
tracted by this system in striking contrast to
the increasing poverty and ruin of the grain
grower, and Of the cottongrower, and also of
the manufacturer on both sides OF the At
lantic.
AS the old corn laws were an artificial sys-
tenn of raising prices with disastrous results
to the consumer, 80 this equally artificial
system Of futures Is inficting as great an in
jury upon producers by Srtifcially depreciat-
ing values. Fifty years ago the corn laws
we're repealed In the interest OF the consumer,
and this artificial system for the manufacture
Of paper crops should bs equality abolished
on the grounds that 1t Is also violation of
free trade principles. Paper futures depre-
ciate values of the raw material below the
cost Of production. Consider as examples Of
all products gambled in, the two Of most Inn
portance in this country-corn and cotton
about which grievances, serious grievances,
are being laid before the government Wheat
is the staff Of life and It's growth locally Of
national Importance 1t is Of the utmost con-
sequence that cultivators Of the soil should be
able to live by obtaining fair price for their
product. During the last twenty years the
price of wheat has fallen from sos. per or. to
2Os. per Or, or even less, and the result Is that
the farmers oil over the world do not even re-
gain their expenditure. In this country it is
impossible to grow wheat under S9s. per Or,
and, although the increased facilities and the
reduced cost Of transit are considerable, yet
there is no adequate reason why wheat should
be selling at less than cost Of production all
over the world, bringing ruin to farmers, not
only here, but everywhere.

indeed.

of cases. We know it cures, absolutely,

Hoods Sarsaparilla is known to possess
merit or the power to cure disease; it is

buy and take Hoods SarsaparilIa almost
to the exclusion of other preparations.
