Tho Day OF the Howler Over.

We have received a pamphlet containing
Q sermon preached on the Fourth of July
by the Rev. J.. KINsEY SMITH at a Presby-
tartan church in Louisville. Its subject is
patriotism and Pessimism in Dur Poll
tics." The tone of the discourse throughout
IL manly and h%ealthful.
Tho preacher refers to the evil done to
this republic and our American society by
the carping criticism and malicious defama-
ton of our political methods and our public
men, which have been palmed of on the peo-
pie as statesmanship and high political phi
losophy during recent years. The spirit of
hopefulness md aggressiveness natural to
. young and rapidly growing and progress
ing country has been derided as bumptious
3ingoism and blind Indifference to defects
Of our institutions and society painfully
apparent and altogether distressing to
superior minds not warped by the warmth
Of mere patriotism.
That tone, of course, was purely artificial.
and its a~ffectation made it harmless be.
0ause ridiculous. But there has been preva.
lent, also, q spirit of detraction, simply
for the sake of d~etraction, which has been
Of real and widespread injury in weaken.
Ing the national courage and raising an
obstacle In tho way of our national pros
perity. A chorus Of bowling, led by dema-
gogism and political charlatanry. has been
wailing necessarily. Discomfort and dis
trust have been cultivated with a view to
reaping from them a political harvest
tor the benefit of the bowling chorus.
The dolorous chant, however, has been
kept up too long. The people have become
tired OF the dismal chorus they nave found
them out for the humbugs they are. They
have walked up to the consciousness that
their patronage of croaking has been an ex.
pensive investment. If a man gratihes the
melancholy Of his spirits by undertaking
bis own goods his profits are not likely to
be large. If the people of a country bestow
political rewards in return for efforts to
destroy Its confidence, they are not inviting
prosperity to 1t. When the bear tone Is
made q fashionable affectation the markets
are not likely to boom. If people insist on
remaining permanently in the dumps and
annoying the luxury of woe as a steady
spiritual diet they must pay the price, and
1t Is heavy.
As the Louisville preacher says, II we
want prosperity We must look for it and
york for 1t, and not go about groaning and
bs<pinR because 1t does not come to us I'M

or a heavy mist.
Procure a bathing suit. II you were to battle

Procure an instructor. A pretty girl make,

looking youth for a young and timid girl.
Enter the water boldly IL you are a man, tim
idly II you are q girl. These are conventional
antics. 1t is safe betting that the girl is more

II you are of the male persuasion remain as
close as possible to the side of your fair teacher:

mother country, which win acquire SUB
stantial value a. soon a. the Belgian n
German treaties shall come 10 an endI Ac-
cordlng to Sir CHARLES TUPPEn, she Will
get nothing, for the reason that the oonces-
sion was made in the wrong way and at
tho wrong time. Sir CHARLES believes
that IL the Dominion Government had
waited until the Belgian and German
treaties had been abrogated, and then Of
fered England preferential rates on recipro-
cal terms, England would have agreed to
impose . 10 per cent. duty on grain ana
meat coming from foreign countries, while
admitting such food staples from Canada
duty free. As 1t ia, Sir WILTRID has given
something for nothing, and the arguments
against taxing England's food supply Will
remain, as they have long been, irresistible.
As Lord RIPoN pointed out In the despatch
to which We lay referred, the imposi-
tion Of a duty On food would mean
at once a diminution Of tho real
wages Of the workman. When, more.
over, the value OF the trade with Canada, or
with all the self-governing colonies put
together. is contrasted with the value Of
England's trade with foreign countries, the
uuTchSOuHDlCuCbS VI dShluk q W ~
mate against the latter becomes evident,
nay, glazing. Take, for instance, the single
item of wheat and wheat -four; in 1895
the quantity Of these commodities I'M
ported into the United Kingdom from
Canada was valued at only $685.
900, whereas the supplies sent from
Argentina, Russia, and tho United
States were valued respectively at $780,
10000, $50, PAS, 900, and $65, 725, 900.
Again, during the Eve years 1ss9-93, the
total imports into the United Kingdom
from all parts Of the world were valued at
$40, $50, 600, 900, but the imports from
British dependencies constituted only 22.s
per cent. Of the whole. During the same
period the total exports from the United
Kingdom to all parts Of the world were ST.
sos 900, 900, to which the exports to British
possessions contributed but 2s.s per cent.
We observe, finally, that tho proportion Of
England's colonial trade to It's foreign
trade, instead of having increased. Is to-day
somewhat smaller than it was forty years
ago.. II imports and exports be taken
together, the trade Of the United King.
dom with British possessions during the
five years 1s54-5s formed 25.s per cent. of
the total traffic, while In 1ss9-93 they
formed only 25.3 per cent.
In view of all the facts here set forth, we
deem it improbable that the British Par
Lament will impose a duty on food staples
coming to England from foreign countries
in order to encourage importations of sim
liar commodities from Canada. 1t is also
doubtful whether England's other self.gov-
erning colonies will share Sir WILFRID
LAURIER's relish for a one-sided bargain,
and, even II they should exhibit the same
eccentric prediction. It is questionable
whether a monopoly of their markets would
compensate England for the losses incident
to tho denunciation Of tho Belgian and
German treaties.

The Crime OF 8 @

Our esteemed contemporary, tho NetD
Fork Times, has discovered anew enormity
Of the Dingley Tariff, and thus unveils 1t
to ashrinking world:
"a duty on coal is a national blunder. an economic
crime. Our supply OF coal may last two hundred
years. 1t may last a thousand years. But It will last
longer II we allow foreign coal to come ii froely at
points like San Francisco. where Its Importation Is
commercially possible
1t Is true that. with the c~autiousneas of
science. the GEIKTE of the Times postpones
the c~oalless day from two hundred to a
thousand years. He might have postponed
1t even longer, as nobody except himself
knows how much coal 10 still hidden in the
bowels Of the earth or can tell where q vein
may dip and reappear. But we nave no
disposition to inquire toe s%earchingly into
the credentials of a seer or to yank his robe
from his shoulders because OF some trivial
pickering over a matter of a thousand years
or 80. "A duty ON coal is a national blum
der, an economic crime" II 1t were so, it
were a grievous fault, and what shall be
done to amend it2
1t seems clear that Congress at It's next
session should pass a joint resolution of
apology to posterity, and amend the tariff
by a proyiso that "nothing in this act shall
prevent posterity from putting coal upon
the free list, If posterity feels SO inclined"
No good man would willingly cause any in
convenience to posterity. To be sure there
may be coal enough to stoke posterity
sufficiently. Or 1t may happen that pos
terity will find some cheap and effective
substitute for coal and will look upon coal
as a coarse and useless substance which the
primitive ages thought so much of as to
take great pains and incur much CRIME In
bringing 1t to the light. Posterity will be
sure to have all the Improvements, and may
be too busy in its discoveries and enjoy
ments to forget the national blunder and
economic crime of a duty on coal.
