THE TARIFF POLICY.
IL VIII Undoubtedly he Formed on Pro-
lection Lines.


There is but little doubt that tho
tariff policy of the incoming admins
tration will be one of adequate protec-
ton, but il will not be n reenactment
of the so-called Mckinley law" OF
1890. Mr.. Mckinley himself has time
and again, within the past three years,
declared that he favors the principle
of protection, but is not welded to any
fixed schedules.
In conversation with the writer, just
before the st. Louis convention, Maj
Mckinley stated his idea of proper
measure Of protection: "That the rate
OF duty ON any competing article should
cover fully :hc difference between
American wages and the cheaper Ia
Dor abroad; that non-competing arti-
cles should be admitted free of duty.
except in the case OF Injuries"
During the campaign just closed Mai.
Mckinley missed no occasion of re-
ferring TO the benefits OF the protec-
tive policy, and OF advocating IL to his
hearers. While he received the votes OF
hundreds of thousands OF democrats.
because of his stand for honest money,
they were not misled In airy way as "a,
his attitude ON the tariff question.
They knew that they were voting for
man who was pledged to a revision or
the tariff on protection lines, and TO
restoration OF the policy OF reciprocity.
The conditions of production and
manufacture have changed consider
ably since 1890, and there Is no talk OF
q policy OF "high" tariff as distin-
puished from one merely protective,
The lines will be drawn so as not to
prohibit imports, but merely TO equal
lie conditions between the home manu-
facturer and the foreign one. The VIII
son tariff gives, in many instances, tho
foreigner the best of the contest True
protection win maintain the American
and foreign manufacturers on the same
footing.
This outlines the views OF the Lead
ing republicans In the nation, and we
have no doubt the Fifty-ffth congress
will aim TO shape it's tariff bill on these
general lines. Sufficient revenue, nde-
quate protection aud reciprocity--that
Is, in brief, the tariff policy Of the In
coming Enthusiastically Blade.

Interesting Relics Of the First
"Riel Rebe lion"
Where Sir Garnet WOlseley Did Not Win
Laurels A Country Where the
Mercury Frcezes Very Often
.n Winter.
Special savanne Cont) Letter

1t is doubtful if any place on the
American continent is better calculated
to impress the spectator with the ter
rible grandeur of winter than is this
halfway house" on the Canadian Pa
cific railway, midway between Rat
Portage and Port Arthur. It's location
is on the height of land where the
waters divide and flow to their final
destination in widely divergent sections
of the continent and the terrible north
ern gales sweep down in unohstructed
and terrific force. The brakeman on
a North Dakota freight train may think
that he knows something about wealth
er, but a day on this table-land in mid
winter would disabuse him of this idea.
There is much about the place that
is keenly interesting, both in its his
toric and contemporary life. Not a
furlong from the railway station, on
the banks of the Savanne river, the
skeleton remains of four huge bateauX
are lifting their gaunt oaken ribs to
the basts-ironical reminders of the
days when Sir Garnet Wolseley, the
present commander in chief of Great
Britain's armies, was winning his
spurs on the northwestern frontier.
He was assigned the task of putting
down the first Riel rebellion, or rather
war Of defense, of 1S697O, and the set
tiers here point to the slowly rotting
boats as an evidence that he did not
find it quite SO much OF a pastime as
he anticipated.
He started at Ottawa, passed through
The American canal at Sauit Ste Marie
and then put up the Matawan river in
these bateauX, passing into Mile Lac
lake (Lake of the Thousand Lakes).
Here the soldierly trials of the future
chief of Britain's hosts began, for the
men, according to the traditions which
here survive, were compelled to tramp
