upon there broke forth the uproar in
the papers of the favored nations with
which our readers were duly RECALLED.
"Perfidious Albion" came in for the
usual, or for an unusual amount of
scorn phrased In many languages.
Belgians and Dutch, German and
French fumed and spluttered in their
respective languages. The commercial
circles were greatly excited" The
Agrarians of Germany put on their
war paint and demanded a declaration
of tariff war. France is looking over
her tariff to see where more war ma
terial can be advantageously placed,
and Austria-H Hungary feels the bristles
rising along her spine.
Thus Sir Wilfred Laurier plants and
explodes a bomb under the bastion Of
protection. The plucky little French
Canadian brings England to his sup
port in his battle for free trade. He
shows himself a greater statesman
than Chamberlain, who would have had
the colonies erect trade barriers against
all but the mother country; Laurier
takes down the barrier with any ma
ton that removes it's. He compels the
protectionist nations of Europe to lay
naked their inherent selfishness, which,
like our own. wants free trade for its
products exported and tariff walls
against competing products of other
nations. Canada alone might count
for little, but Canada backed by Eng
land becomes a power that all COM
mercial nations must take notice Of.
We, Of all of them, can least afford to
turn a deaf ear to this demand for
freer trade now, leading to free trade
later.

Inquiry developed the fact that these
peddlers are known to the inhabitants
and also to the police. After they be-
come acquainted, they can make their
rounds with impunity because the in
habitants of these cesspools of crime,
poverty, and filth, know that the life
of well known peddler could not be
and arrest by the police, who are
thoroughly familiar with everything
around these by-WayS. Indeed 1t may
be said that majority of the inhabi-
tants Of these places have records
which may be found in the police
court. Rattlebang frame buildings are
the rule in most of these places, but
occasionally a small brick row may
be found. All of the houses are Gel
iarless and therefore damp and un-
healthful, many of them containing
cesspools under their rickety floors,
from which all kinds Of fatal MAS
matte germs ascend, to be breakhed
into the lungs and disseminated
through the system.
Poverty and crime dwell together all
too frequently. Poverty is, no doubt
many times the cause of crime, while
crime is almost always the precedent
Of poverty. Down by the oyster
Wharves there are many alleys and
courts in which the poor are huddled,
e1lpu lIOu THESE plaCeS emanate the
criminals of this city in great num-
bers. They know and help each other
with all the masonry and fraternity
Of their kind. These are the razor
carriers who cut and slash their vic
Tins upon the slightest provocation,
with that most deadly of all weapons
The highway robberies committed
south of Pennsylvania avenue, with
which our daily papers teem are the
work Of the people of these alleys near
the wharves. They pass their booty
from man to man until 1T is almost
impossible to trace the watch or purse
Which has been stolen, sometimes in
broad daylight
The beautiful miniature forest,
known as the Arsenal, National Mu-
scum, Smithsonian, Agricultural, and
washington monument park, is sur
rounded with a criminal population.
To the north of 1t, extending from the
center market, on Seventh street, to
the treasury department building on
fifteenth street, there is a Gordon of
crime, righteousness, lewdness, and
prof1igacy through which the respect
able people of the national capital do
not care, nor dare, to go. 1t is dense
ly populated with wicked women as
we'll as criminal men. South of the
great park are the alleys adjoining
and contiguous to the Wharves extend
Ing clear across to the eastern branch
Of the Potomac. 1T is into this sec
ton that the investigator, the home
missionary, and the agent of our char
liable societies should go to find the
poor and relieve the gangs of poverty.

cape. If possible, the payment Of high
er duties, immense invoices came
through the custom house on the oath
day of July, and the duties collectible
on such as came in after midnight and
before Mr.. McKinley's signature was
appended to the tariff act amount to
between 100000 and 100000 Must this
be paid into the treasury, as it's officers
declare, or did the rates of 1894 remain
in force up to thejjvery hour and minute
by the clock when the last act required
to make a statute. in rorce was per-
formed? We have mo doubt whatever
OF what the courts will hold. 1t is the
same question that arose when con-
gress proposed to date the whole bill
back and make it go into effect on the
lst Of April The very idea was laugh
ed out of court. Yet if you can ante
date law by an hour you can by
month or a year or century.
The most pertinent illustration bear
ing upon the question that we have
erratic newspaper, the Washington
Post. 1t supposes the case that the
courts should have enacted that an Of
tense formerly punishable by imprison-
ment of twenty years should thereaf-
ter be punished by death. Suppose,
now, that, such a law as this passed
both houses and was signed by the
president at 8 O'Clock in the afternoon
Suppose that at o'clock on the morn
ing of that day, or at 10 or at in the
AFTERNOON, or at any time up to the
very minute when the president signed
IT, man somewhere in the United
states committed the crime in ques-
ton. Would any court, great or small,
hold that he should be executed?
Inc whole point. as an illustration,
turns upon the magnitude Of the pen
atty. When it is a question of dollars
and cents. there might seem to be a
oouot; when it is question Of life and
death, all possibility of argument dis
appears. That a man should go to the
gallows for a crime, punishable when
ne committed it only by imprisonment,
and because some time later an act
came into being making it capital is
an 1nconceivable wrong; is so clearly
case of ex-post 1facto legislation that
there can be no. argument about it.
The principleswiths regard to the new
tariff is exactly the same, and, beyond
a doubt, the courts will so hold.

about six times those of checkers. for eighteen

THE GAYETY OF THE NATIONS.


Sir Wilfred Laurier, Canada's prime
minister, has contributed to the gayety
OF the nations, or rather to that portion
of the nations which believes in the
divine right of the freedom of exchange
and to the CONSERVATION of that other
smaller but more influential class
which believes the divine right is given
them exclusively to make exchangers
pay them tribute. Strictly the gayety
is confined to the former class. He was
plain Mr.. Wilfred Laurier when, as the
leader Of the Liberals Of the Dominion
ne routed, horse, foot and dragons,
the Conservatives or Tories, who. like
our own Tories, here termed Republi-
cans, had, with the true aristocratic
and plutocratic instinct, denied to their
fellows the freedom Of trade; and he
became Sir Knight during the jubilee
by the grace Of the right honorable
Joseph Chamberlain, her majesty's sec
rotary for the colonies, who hoped thus
to lure the Canadian leader into his
imperial zollverein scheme. To his cha
grin Sir Wilfred Laurier assured him
that Canada was moving as rapidly as
practicable in the direction of British
free trade
But to return. 1t will be remembered
that when the Dominion's finance min
lister brought in his budget last sprine
it provided for a reduction of the tar
III and gave to those nations admitting
Canadian products free of duty an adj
ditional preferential rate one-eighth
less than that charged the products of
other nations, to be further reduced to
.one-tourth next year. AS England is
the only nation giving free entry. the
reciprocity applied only to imports of
her merchandise. But Sir Charles Tup-
per, endorsed and Unconstitutional
leader of the discounted protectionist
host, rose to object that this would
violate the provisions of the treaties
England had negotiated with other
European nations, which contained the
most favored nation" clause, and was
therefore, invalid. But the provision
went through, and Laurier went tn
England to attend the Jubilee and, in
cidentally, to some other matters. What
these were became apparent in the
announcement last week that Salisbury
had startled the nations of Europe
with the announcement that the COM
mercial treaties containing the most
favored nation" clause were renowned
by England and, according to their
terms, would expire in one year There

VERY INTERESTING" FIGURES.

VERY "INTERESTlNG'' FIGURE
Our esteemed contemporary at the
falls of the Mississippi has a simple
and childlike faith in anything that
Robert P. Porter may dish up ever since
he figured in certain census work in
this locality some eight years ago. Hav-
ing gone out of the census business,
Mr.. Porter has engaged his intellect
in various avocations, having no per-
manent vocation, and last year he was
made editor-in-chief of the tariff de-
partment Of the Republican national
committees bureau Of education in
which the superimposition of a more
pressing question left him little else
to do than. draw his salary Lately he
has engaged his abilities in proving
that the show of the Advance Agent
has arrived, and that all any one de-
string riches will have to do is to hold
out his hands and get them filled.
AS a part of his latest avocation this
''well-known census expert and Stats
t1cian," as the Tribune dubs him, "has
overhauled the report of the depart
mont of agriculture and cleaned some
interesting figures about the export of
American wheat to Eastern Asia"
What Mr.. Porter did was simply to
take the circular II of the section Of
foreign markets of that department,
and proceed to romance about the fig
ures it contains quite as facilely as he
did about the population of sundry
localities in 1890. 1t is the figures he
gives that the Tribune says are Every
interesting" They are truly so and
likewise important if true" Premis-
ing that the figures attainable for this
year indicate a gain over those of pre-
vious years, the Tribune credits Porter
with saying that 'the total shipments
to japanese ports during the nine
months ending March 81, 1897, amount
ed to 8S,S22, 204 barrels" presumably of
flour, as it is Of wheat and -four that
the comment treats
If the editor Of the Tribune has not
Alu4lS llllO the waste as Vdiu6lGSS the
circular referred to, he will find on
consulting it, that the total shipment
to Japan Of breadstuffs from the United
States for the nine specified months
amounted to 1880 pounds of biscuit,
7G,5O8 bushels Of wheat and III ,434 bar
rels Of flour, with $1O,544 worth of "all
other thrown in for lagniappe This
is long way short of Mr.. Porter's
''S8, S22, 204 barrels" Pursuing his in
curry further the editor would find
that during these same nine months
there were shipped from this country
to China, Japan and Hong Kong 1850
bushels of wheat and S22,2O4 barrels Of
flour, of which last sos, 1872 barrels went
to Hong Kong. He will thus discover
that the statistician of the department
OF agriculture is a more dependable
quantity than is the census expert
and statistician," Mr.. Robert P. Por-
ter. to whose vagaries he pins his faith
so unquestioningly.

quarters, that nothing could do so
much to restore the market value of

find, on the contrary, that just at the
moment when the gold supply is in
creasing more rapidly than at any
time during the modern era when the
Klondyke mines promise to pour tens
of millions of the yellow metal into
circulation, silver responds, not by 4
rise, but by fall. The extinction of
the idea that the relative production
alone of gold and silver determines
their ratio will be a gain to sound
thinking. Looked at from any point of
