SOUTH AFRICAN INDEPENDENCE.

The announcement that the
Transvaal and the Orange Free
State have formed a defensive al
lance cannot fail To be regarded
with more or less apprehension
by Great Britain. The alliance is
undoubtedly the direct result of
the jameson raid and may be the
forerunner of the United States
of Africa.
A series of articles by POultney
BigeIow, published in Harper :
Monthly, gives splendid insight
into the affairs of South Africa
at the present time. Mr.. BigelOw
remarks in his last article that
the Jameson raid is likely to be
come as disasterOuS To British in
terests as were the events that
brought about the Boston Tea

On his recent visit to China sugar
factory, Mr. Claus Spreckels, the foun-
der of the beet sugar industry in San
Francisco, remarked as follows: Il
may not live to see the day, but young
men will see that in 10 years the sugar
beet industry will be the chief one in
California, and California will be the
greatest sugar producing State in
America. 1t is the only profitable
thing left for the farmer. He can't go
into it too soon." This is the opinion
of the best-informed man in the world,
who backs up his faith by his works.
His factory at jacksonville, Cal, will
this year work up the beets from near
ly 10000 acres, and now he is planning
forest factory for the Salinas Val
ley that will require upwards of $4,000
acres of beets,

! Boer-B British citizens of this re
public are particularly jealous Of

vices to Transvaal Government.
and had Jameson's men been
favored with shadow of success
they would have been forced to
fight the brave men of both re
publics.
In his inaugural of 1896. Presi-
dent Steyn said " ! know that
when we take note of the occur
rences of the past few months and
the history of the South African
people a. feeling of uneasiness
comes over us and we ask our
selves how long, how long must
we extend the hand of friendship,
to see it time after time rejected
with contempt?' He designated
jameson as Il freebooter who had
done nothing but engender race
hatred. President Steyn's mes
sage to the stranger was, "COme
and join us, show that You mean
we'll by us, but do not stand aside
and expect that we Will abandon
our nationality and allow you to
absorb us" Thus it Will be seen
that while President Steyn ar

caIly the same view of South
African independence as Presi-
dent krueger OF the IranSVaal.
While the two republics are not
always on the most friendly
terms in their domestic dealings,
they join forces to meet com

this spirit of independence will
not extend to the Cape of Good
Hope and that before many years
we shall see the South African
Federation established as a free

THE DINGLEY TARIFF.

According To the returns made
by the experts of the United
States Treasury Department,
Congressman Dingley and the Re
publican majority of Congress
have succeeded in Mckinley
ing Mckinley in drawing up the
new tariff bill. BY comparing the
Mckinley law of 1890, the present
Wilson law and the proposed
Dingley law, some interesting
figures are brought to light. Tn
der the Mckinley law the aver
age tariff rate was 1888 per cent.
The average under the present
law is 1884 per cent. while in the
bill passed by the House of Repre-
sentatives. the average rate is
sos per cent. If the Senate ac-
cepts the measure as passed by
the House, there can be little
prospect of the tariff being taken
out of politics in the near future.
The argument that the new law
will increase the revenue of the
United States $113.0 100000 Il
year. and that the money is sadly
needed may carry the day, but
the Republican majority in the
Senate will have to be of the iron
clad type to do it.
Irrespective of party, the opln-
ion is gaining ground in the Unit
ed States that the country has
suffered from over protection.
The condition is not unlike what
we have here. Large industries
have grown up quickly and the
people have become so accustom-
ed to treading on velvet, that they
cannot adapt themselves to the
situation when Il set back is eX-
perienced. The United States, by
virtue of the protection policy,
has become one of the manufact
uring nations of the world. The
trend of public opinion now is TO
do away with the industrial nur-
sery and let the manufacturers
shift for themselves.
Although the American GOV
eminent is sadly in need of an
increase in revenue, it is not prob
able that the United States Senate
with questionable tariff major
ity'' will pass Il measure carrying
such Il high average of protection.
Hence we may expect Il long fight
before the tariff bill of 1897 is
declared law. Should President
Mex inley succeed in swinging
the ''siIver prOtectiOnists" into
line. and thereby secure the neces-
sary majority TO pass the Dingley
bill in the Senate, he will go on
record as one of the ablest Presi-
dents the United States has ever
had.
