Constitutional Laws vs. POpulism.

Perhaps the only public detamer
of the state supreme court is in
Lewiston. The editor of the Tri-
bune evidently makes a personal
matter Of the defeat Of the fee bill.
The highest tribunal of the COM
monwealth for constitutional rea-
sous pronounced the fee bill void.
The charge is made by this post
mortem defender that the court
assumes power above the legisla-
ture. The fact is the court only
affirms that the constitution is
above the late reform legislature.
A loose construction of the cOnsti-
tuition would be far-reaching 10 its
effects. In this instance there was
a conflict. There could not be a
strict adherence to the letter of the
law in both instances when one
was DRAMATICALLY opposed to the
other. The supreme court is

The opponents of the tariff have
tried to make capital out Of the
fact that foreign nations would be
so incensed at the action of the
United States in levying higher
tariff rates that they would retail
late and cut of much of our
European trade Recent dispatches
from abroad silence these Croakers
effectually. France has offered
through her ambassador to nego-
tiate reciprocity treaty with our
government under the provisions
of the reciprocity clause of the
tariff bill. Both France aud Ger
many are countries that levy a
tariff to protect their home indus
tries. They are wiling to grant
concessions on a scale of minimum
rates on products that can be in
terchanged with benefit and profit
to both nations. 4 study of the
data OF exports and imports with
France shows that the trade is con-
/ siderable and we'll worth preserv'
ing under relations favorable to
both countries. In the year 1896
% we imported from France $751;
900, 900 aud exported to that couu'
try products amounting to S62,.
600, 900. The action recently
taken by the French government
shows that that nation is ready
and willing to continue this inter
change Of commodities on the basis
of a reciprocity clause whereby
both nations will profit and a, the
same time maintain protective
duties.
