strikes occurring between March Z,
1874, and August y. 1854. the date Of
the enactment Of the Wilson law. The
loss In wages to the persons thrown
out Of employment by the strikes and
lockouts In those eighteen months. as
shown by the report OF the United
States commissioner of labor is over
$45, 900 900, while the business loss to
employers aggregated about half thar
sum. Reports Of the interstate COM
merce covering this period also afford
interesting comment upon the effect of
the business troubles which existed
during the tendency of the promised
legislation during the year 1893. Many
OF the most important railroads Of the
country were placed in the hands of
receivers. The mileage Of thirty rail-
roads SO treated in the first half Of the
period between President Cleveland's
inauguration and the completion of the
legislation promised in his platform
was 1886 miles, or nearly one-sev-
enth Of all the railroad lines of the
United States. Their indebtedness was
$1,212, 217.O
The above record of prominent
events during the eighteen months in
which President Cleveland and his
party held the country in suspense
prior to the enactment of the legisla-
ton promised by them will indicate to
some extent whether he was justified
in complaining OF the "hot haste" with
which the Republican party is carrying
out its own pledges on this occasion"

The Canadian Bosle Tariff.

Chicago Times-Herald: The British
exultation over the new Canadian
tariff will not fool any of the protec-
tionists in the Fifty-fifth Congress-, al
though it may provide some explosive
material for the popocrats in the SEN
ate who are impressed with the neces-
sity of making some kind of an assault
on the Dingley bill
In estimating the possible effect of
the new Canadian tariff on our trade
with Canada it must not be forgotten
that geographical conditions cannot be
entirely obliterated by the Dominion
government, even though the desire
to promote the commercial and indus
trial interests of the great empire may
be dominant among the Canadian peO-
pie. The United States provides such
an accessible and attractive market
that Canadians cannot be entirely di-
verified from it by the pro-British tariff
policy just inaugurated. Our market
is so much more valuable to the Cana
dams than the Canadian market is to
us that the members of Congress will
be guilty of grave disloyalty to do
nestle interests if they allow this Do
minion menace to deter them from put
ting good tariff on lumber, coal and
the cereals.
The new Canadian tariff bill discrim-
mates in favor of British goods by
schedules intended to apply to imports
from Great Britain alone. The prefer
ence amounts to 1919 per cent, as
against the imports from other coun-
tries, and will continue in force until
July, 1898. after which the preference
will be increased to one-fOurth.
The motive behind this double sched-
ule is very obvious. 1t is projected ut
this time as a threat to the tariff
makers in the Fifty-fifth Congress.
Unless Canadian goods are admitted 20
our markets under the conditions
which prevail under the Wilson-Gor-
man law the Canadians propose to buy
all the goods which they do not make
themselves in Great Britain.
But the instinct of commercial ag-
grandizement is stronger with the
Canadians than loyalty to the crown.
The Canadians are willing to be gov
erned by Great Britain. 1t is one Of
the best governments on earth. But
the Canadians are certain to seek the
market where they can buy to the best
advantage, and that market is in the
United States.

Mr.. Bryan Hits Back.

The gold Democrats and the silver
Democrats are throwing stones at each

the front with sarcastic reply to Mr.
Cleveland's Reform club speech. in
which he says that Cleveland and his

platitudes and short on performances"
and that they reach their maximum
at banquet and their minimum at the

Ex-President Cleveland is a good one
to talk about protecting the fair fame
of our nation against shame and scan
dal." This is the expression of the
opening sentence of his New York
speech at a meeting last Saturday night
at which he and handful of his fol-
lowers made an attack upon the Re-
publican party for carrying out the
principles laid down in its platform
II Mr.. Cleveland had recounted the
scandals of his own administration, the
sugar trust scandal, the bond scandal.
the Chicago lake front scandal, the for
eign policy scandal. and numbers of
others which might be mentioned, his
speech would have been a good deal
longer and much more interesting. As
it was, he devoted it to abusing the
Republican party because it is giving
its first attention to Carrying out the
pledges Of its platform, a protective
tariff. an effort for International BIZ
metallism, and the full maintenance Of
the present safe standard of our cur
rency.
He attacked not only the Republican
party, but that large and growing class
of Democrats who believe In protection.
another large class Of Democrats who
voted for Mr.. Bryan, and another class
Of voters who support the measures Of
the Populist party. II Mr.. Cleveland

TREASURES IN rHE CANAL

Weeknea EngaSea In Deepeaing 1t Hlne
Rings.
There Il q Great fusillade now all
along the river front of the city. Never
since the war of 1872, when battery
on this side of the Niagara snapped
courtesies with q British battery on
the other side, has there been such
bombardment, says a Buffalo cores
pendent of the New York Press. But
the canal drillers are not so courteous
as the hostile Britishers were. In those
times, whenever the battery across the
river was preparing for shoot day,
a notice was sent across to the little
village of Black Rock. and the people
either made visit to their friends out
of town or took to the cellar. Now the
roar of powder blasts is almost contin-
uous, nights and Sundays included.
Last Sunday being fine, there was q
great rush to the canal side to see the
rock that had lain in the canal bottom
since the formation of the strata In
the dim past sail up into the air and
come down in fragments. Sometimes
the pieces dropped intentionally close
to the spectators, coming down with
vicious hiss and heavy crash. but
no one was injured. The opening OF
the canal is bringing to the surface not

named Henry Johnson found ring
valued at 81 and few moments later
he shoveled up another for which
jeweler offered him 81. A companion
of Johnson's, working in the same
gang, found a lot of silver knives and
forks, and in the list, too, are the
CHASTITY finds, of which the less said
the better. More than one infant form
has been unearthed in the canal bot
tom, and there are other evidences that
the canal does not traverse the stamp
