1t Is not surprising to find the Victoria
Colonist discrediting the motives that in
spired the organization OF the government
ieiief expedition and denooncing that
worthy enterprise as Colossal adver-
tisement" Ind huge fraud" It calls
upon the Dominion government to refuse
its cooperation. It is fortunate for tina
Canadian public that the Colonist is gen.
orally known not to be in any sense rep
resentative OF their sentiments or charac-
ter, and so its contemplate remarks NAV
be taken simply as the expressions of a
single person. 1t is not to be expected
that the Ottawa authorities will fail tn do
all in their power to further the object
OF the expedition, which is to relieve
Canadians as we'll as Americans. II 10
admitted that various attempts have been
made TO use the project as an advertise
ment, but these have been made abortive
through the prompt and energetic action
or Secretary Alger. who hiss declared that
ne viii adhere to the letter of the congress
sionai act epprcpriatlng $500 600 for pur-
chase and transportation of supplies. The
facts are that In the Colonist's pharasaical
and Jaundiced judgment nothing good can
come out OF the United States. This view
Is correct insofar as nothing good wen,
when Its editor left.

Persons who have been wont TO describe
President Mckinley as an amiahle gentle-
man of yielding and impressionable dis
position are beginning 10 revise their esti-
mates. The president has shown marked
frankness and courage in dealing with
public questions, and has done no woh-
bling. 1t is TO be feared that he cannot be
induced to withdraw his appointment OF
Mckenna TO the supreme bench. and ne
betrays no purpose Of giving way TO the
pressure OF apparent dissatisfaction at the
appointment OF Charles Page Bryan as
minister to China. Bryan has been
charged with the heinous crime of being
a young man, and he has found himself
unable to secure acquittal. If no other
valid criticism is 10 be made as to this
nomination, 1t is to be hoped that 1t will

The Democratic newspapers are I'm
revised because it is not producing a
revenue. 1t is well known that one OF
the reasons why there is no revenue on
imports is that large quantity OF
foreign goods was imported in anticipa-
ton Of the bill. But that Is now Of
small Importance. The effect of the
new tariff has been to protect Ameri-
can manufactures so that hundreds OF
thousands OF men are employed who
were idle when the tariff was lower.
1t is not too much to say that a million
men are now employed at fair wages
who were picking up a scanty living
the best they could year ago. This
is far better than having the same con-
dltions prevail and have the treasury
derive a revenue from foreign-mada
goods whose manufacture and importa-
ton kept our citizens idle
Not only the mechanic. but the farm
er. is benefited by a protective policy
and for that reason the Dingley tariff
should be retained even IL other means
shall have to be devised TO raise taxa
ton.
The increased price in wheat has had
no little to do with the prosperity Of
the farmer: but much Of that increase
is due to the increased consumption at
home, as well as to the decreased pro-
duction abroad. From recent statis-
tics. very convincing argument is to
be found in favor of the theory that
protection to American labor adds to
the wealth OF the American farmer.
Even with prices unchanged, a reduc-
ton in consumption means n great loss
to the farmers. Under the Wilson tar
fff. with 100000 employees out OF work,
the per capita consumption of wheat
fell in the United States from $50
bushels In 1892 to $40 bushels in 1894
and the consumption of corn shrank
from 1888 bushels 10 2075 bushels. II
Is unnecessary 10 explain that this ire
mendous shrinkage in demand affected
the price or all foreign products aud
the farmers lost in value literally by
billions Of dollars.
The Des Moiues Register has been to
the trouble Of computing the figures
relating 10 the loss and It estimates
that, taking the crop and prices In 1892
and the four following years, and the
loss reaches prodigious figures:
