INJUs rICE CORRECTED.
From the Philadelphia Times.


The Times, in a recent editorial COM
menting on the attitude of the Business
Mems league of this state and the declar-
alton of Secretary Van Valkenburg, was
wholly unjust in its reflections upon Sec
retary Van Valkenburg. They were based
upon the assumption that he was under
an indictment in Schuylkill county that
had not been pressed to trial, and that he
was thus in so questionable a position
before the public that he could not COM
mand respect in making accusations
against the political derel!ctions of others
The Secretary of the Business Mems
league is Frederick A. Van Valkenburg,
and in the criticism he was confounded
with his brother, Edwin A. Van Valken-
burg, who was indicted as stated In the
article in question. and had not pressed
the case to trial. This statement is given
to show that in making the criticism on
Secretary Van Valkenburg we were mis-
led by mistaken assumption and that
it was made in what was believed to be
condition of facts which warranted it.
But no unjust assumption of facts,
however eXcLsable, can lessen the meas
ure of injustice done by the Times TO
Secretary Frederick A. Van Valkenburg.
He does not stand accused in any way be-
fore the public that would make his grave
accusations against certain Republican
leaders of the state inconsistent, and we
desire to acquit him in the manifest way
of the imputation so unjustly put upon
him in these columns.

McKinley's Horoscope.

Intelligence publishes in its August
issue an astrological prediction on
President Mckinley which will be read
with interest by those who take inter-
est in such things. The author, julius
Erickson, drew four years ago a horo-
scope of President Cleveland which
came true in its principal features, and
at later time he predicted the nom
ination and election of Mckinley; so
that as a prophet he does not appear
upon the scene wholly without cred
entails.
Divested of technical terms, or trans
lated into every day English, Mr..
Ericksons prediction with reference to
Mckinley is that the people are to
rule during his administration: that
''plutocrats. trusts, money -grabbers.
and bond-sharks" had better take
warning; that the foreign policy is to
be vigorously American, with special
emphasis upon the protection of Amer
lean citizens and interests in foreign
lands; congress and the judiciary will
act in harmony and the executive and
legislative branches will have less fric-
tion than heretofore: prosperity will
assume generous proportions after the
spring of 1898; the army and navy will
be increased, but peace will prevail
save that some foreign power will try
in year or two to play us false; and
at the end of four years the president
will be re-nominated and reelected.
There are of course, other predictions
in abundance, such as fires. religious
controversies, riots, etc, but on the
other hand numerous inventions will
contribute to the betterment of society
and in general advancement will be no.
table. The most ominous note in the
forecast is that Spain will collapse.
but this misfortune is one which most
Americans can endure. If it be said
that these predictions, like those Of
Professor Coles, are somewhat delphic
and sufficiently generalized to cover
practically every development it can
be replied that prophecy is business
too precarious to Justify being too
specific.

What The CLEVELAND
Experiment Cost
From the American Economist.


Well may the people of the United
States thank God that they have at
length seen the end of the Democratic
experiment with Tariff Reform" For
two years and eleven months, less four
days, the deadly blight of industrial stag
nation-for which Grover Cleveland was
Immediately and directly responsible
has been forced upon u.s. For nearly two
years prior to the enactment of the law
of 'peri1dy and dishonor' it's baneful ef-
fects We're felt. Since the close of 1892
when it was known that a Democratic
congress and a Democratic president had
been elected, and that their threat of
free trade would be put into execution
the Industrial enterprises of the United
States have been paralyzed with fear
The banks foresaw the impending danger
to American manufacturers through the
contemplated influx of cheap foreign
goods and, foreseeing the danger, the
banks promptly locked up their capital
so that the evils of the free trade policy
were felt long before the free trade law
was placed upon our statutes.
o.
And the evil did not end last week
with the substitution of the Dingley tar
in for protection in place of the law
of "perfidy and dishonor" of the Demo-
cratic party. Anticipating the most nat
ural idea of protection for American
producing interests have taken every ad-
vantage of the miserable "ragbag pro-
duction" that emanated from the Demo-
cratic party, and have flooded our mar
kets with foreign goods that, in some in
stances, cannot be consumed within a
twelve month. Thus the deadly blight
of Democratic 'perfidy and dishonor'
has spread it's work OF ruin and wreckage
over a period of almost five years, blast
ing the hopes of our people, running thou
sands, bringing idleness, hunger and
starvation in its trail, compelling the
natural accompaniments of free trade
such as free soup, free bread and free
clothing. Meanwhile the American peo-
pie have suffered and waited.
%
OF their sufferings history can never
tell. But their patience has been bright
ened by the more recenr knowledge that
Republican congress would bring relief
as speedily as the Democratic and Popo-
cratic obstructionists in the United States
senate would permit. That relief has
come, partially only for the present, but
II will be permanent and profitable, we
hope, as soon as the last remnants OF the
rags and shoddy products of cheap Euro
pean labor have disappeared from our
markets. And what has been the cost
of this experiment with free trade, of
the practical workings of the Democratic
doctrine of free raw material? Its actual
cost, in dollars and cents, no man can
ever estimate, but we can show how the
business of the city of New York was
transferred to London, as follows:

Canada and the Klondike,

The decision of Canada to put a
heavy tax on aliens in her gold fields
is something to which the United
States cannot consistently object, since
the right of each government to pro-
tect it's own is well established, and
well practiced by us. True, We permit
ted Canadians to have free entrance
to the California gold fields and put no
tax on what they found there. But
the sentiment of protection was not
then SO strongly developed as 1T is
now, nor had the fear of foreign COM
petition yet taken go general hold
upon the American public. Today we
put high tariff on Canadian goods,
shutting them out of our markets;
and but for President Cleveland's veto
we should today have an immigration
law which would prevent any Canadi-
an from earning a livelihood upon
American soil.
A right which we claim for ourselves
cannot be denied to Canada. 1t there
fore is useless to protest against the
decision of the ottawa government to
gold mining region under Canadian
sovereignty. But a much broader
question seems likely to arise concern
ing the proper limits of Canadian
jurisdiction in the Alaskan gold fields.
If the United States may not question
the right of Canada to establish such
restrictive regulations as she pleases
on soil to which her title is clear it is
as sure as sunshine that where Can
ada's title is in dispute the right of
Americans to mine upon equal terms
with Canadians should be upheld to the
utmost, pending a decision as to juris-
diction. Either that. or else a general
suspension of mining in such disputed
territory under a modus vivendi.
1t is currently reported. upon the
authority of the superintendent of the
United States coast survey, that Can
pushed her line over on American land,
in order to accommodate the anxiety
which seems inherent in Englishmen
to appropriate valuable ore-bearing ter
ritory. If this is true it will require
to be made the subject of an early
and determined protest. If the Klon-
dixie region is properly Canada's, Amer
leans will necessarily have to submit
to whatever impositions Canada may
see fit to place upon their activities in
that region; but If it be Canada's only
through grace of grab. then we fancy
that the American spirit will not rest
satisfied until the theft shall be made
good by restitution.

BETTER PLAY FAIR.
the Chicago Times-Herald.

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Artemus Wards sage advice. "Never
argue agin a success" might with en-
tire propriety be taken to heart Just at
this time by the Democratic and Popo-
cratic bowling dervishes of calamity. 1t
is useless to combat a fact. Why not
acknowledge the corn and admit that
times are rapidly improving; that busi-
ness failures are decreasing; that mort
cages are being paid; that money Is 60
ing out for investment, and that all lines
of business show constantly increasing
activity? These are no longer matters of
conjecture or doubt They are facts,
abundantly demonstrated by market re-
ports, financial statistics, and every cor
roborative agency of business life. Good
times are here and better times are at
hand. The tide has turned. Cheer up;
professional pessmism is the only busi-
ness that is suffering.

Naval Militia

Even the staid landsman who seldom
knows or cares much about naval mat
ters will find it difficult to resist the
contagion of enthusiasm for naval de-
velopment which is being scattered
broadcast by the tireless and deter
mined assistant secretary of the navy,
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt. The manner
in which he is rafting the dry bones
of his department is as exhilaratiug as
it promises ultimately to prove bene-
fetal.
The situation in which that depart
ment finds itself is enough to challenge
its executive spirits to heroic protest.
Together with the fact that three new
battleships, almost completed, are
blocked by reason of the refusal of
congress to authorize the purchase of
armor plate except at a preposterously
low price, there is the additional and
even greater embarrassment that not
enough American marines can be found
to man the vessels already afloat ne
cessitating the taking of a number of
ships out of commission and the EN-
listment of a considerable percentage
of foreigners to fill out the crews of
the ships which remain in active SER
vice.
We therefore may understand the in
terest which Assistant Secretary Roose-
welt manifests in the naval reserves
of those states which have a water
front; and can appreciate why his
constant cndeavor is to stimulate the
movement for the establishment in
these states Of naval militia compar-
able for sea purposes with the work
OF the national guard on land. AS he
said to the New York battalions of the
reserve on Friday, at Fort Hamilton:
II look upon the naval militia as an
element that would be Immediately
available IL we had trouble with any
foreign power or in the event of any
domestic disturbance. At last we as
Il people are beginning to wake up to a
realization that If we would be respect
ed abroad we should be a great naval
power. The number of our warships
and torpedo boats must be doubled be-
fore we stop. We want more ships,
anu iioiS iiSh anu oiiSSlS W man lHeiD.
We have now as fine ships as any in
the world, but we must have more
than this. We must have men who are
trained to handle them. You are the
men that we can fall back upon in an
emergency. War is decided quickly in
these days, and 1t will not do to depend
upon men who can be trained. but we
need bodies like this which are already

BANK CLEARINGS.

In the year 1892 when the United States
was at the height of it's prosperity under
the Mckinley policy of protection, the
volume of business transacted in the city
of New York, as represented by the bank
clearings OF our commercial metropolis,
aggregated nearly thrty-seven billions of
dollars. But the deadly blight of free
trade threw it's destructive blast upon
us and the business of New York city
decreased by more than hve billions of
dollars during the FIRST year of the Demo-
cratic administration. In the next year.
1894, It decreased almost seven billions
OF dollars more, making a total loss of
business In the one city, exceeding over
