Every year the papers receive reports OF the
hunter OF deer who brings down his fellow

he Is In pursuit The latest occurrence OF tnis
kind took place n few days ago At White Lake

was instantly killed. Before the season Is over
according to established precedent there are likely
TO be a number OF other accidents of this nature
and the usual suggestions to their avoidance
will not be wanting. But they never do any good
The number OF persons mistaken for wild game
and shot keeps up steady annual average. and Is
likely TO continue to do 80. A curious feature OF
these casualties is that the hunter. who usually
misses everything no shoots Mt except human
being almost invariably brings the latter down.

DOES PROTECTION COMMIT Suicide,

The theory, by many whispered for some
time that Protection is destroying itself as a
source Of revenue has been openly declared by
Mr. Ford. recently the Chief Of the Bureau Of
Statistics. His statement Of recent conditions
docs not sustain the excellent reputation he
has earned In the bureau. For example il IS
far from accurate to say that at the end Of
1897 deficiency of $20,o00.O00 was inevitable
under the present tariff. when the returns for
January showed receipts closely approximating
the proportion of ordinary expenditures Of the
Government for the month, and in February
practically equalled that proportion IN spite
of the continuing loss Of revenue through
ticlpatory imports the effect Of which has never
yet entirely passed To ignore that important
but temporary cause Of deficiency in receipts
II must be admitted, too nearly approaches the
"suppressio veri' to be worthy Of Mr.. Ford's
reputation Nor Is It correct even 10 imply that
1.-THE Ways and Means Committee dcspaircd Of
making the tariff produce an apprcciablc part
Of the additional revenue required when war
began The new act does add one duty expect
cd TO produce 100000 but in order to get
measure passed at all the committee refused
TO consider other changes The object Of re
fcrring to Mr.. Ford. however is not to crltlclse
details but TO examine his theory
1t is perfectly true that n protective duty
when II has far accomplished It's purpose
that a domestic manufacture Is 80 DEVELOPED
as to exclude competing foreign products en-
trelv ceases TO yield revenue The tlnplate
duty has already ceased to yield any revenue
OF consequence beyond the amount OF draw
back on plates used in export trade. As fast
as Protection thus attains its object il cuts or
the revenue derived from It's successful duties
so that others would have 10 be added or in
creased II there were no other effect Blu, all
experience, and most cOnspicuOusly the expert
encc Of the last year. proves that there are
other effects which the theory In question Who'll
ly ignores.
The system which builds new industries and
defends others does in fact so improve the con
dltion of the people that they are able to and
do consume much more OF most products than
before. There il needed first, expanded i'm
portations OF the materials Of manufacture
many OF which are dutiable: thus imports Of
pig-iron from Europe increased during the last
seven months, though imports OF products Of
iron decreased. Then partly manufactured
products. most OF which are dutiable also come
IN more largely. such RI thrown silk. linen
yarn and bleaching materials. or the dutiable
