Now for a Lone Hand.

The action oe Great Britain in
refusing to join the United States,
Russia and Japan in consenting to
the suspension OF pelagic sealing
leaves us to our own resources.
For ten years we have tried to set
tie the sealing question by negotia-
tions with England We have ap-
preached her as one begging a
favor. 1t is time now for reversal
OF the parts. Let the next appii-
cation for a modus vivendi come
from her.
There is no need to talk of var.
Englishmen may excite themselves
over seals and imagine that we are
equally agitated, but nobody in
America classes marine animals
with the Monroe doctrine. The
matter is PARTLY one Of humanity
and partly one OF money, and it
can be treated in both aspects with
out a breach Of the peace.
Congress has passed a bill for
bidding pelagic sealing by Ameri-
cans, prohibiting the entry into the
United States of any sealskins OBJ
tanned in that way. This measure,
if rigidly enforced, may be sufici-
ent at once to render Canadian
piracy improbable and to arouse
the London furriers to the dam
gers OF their situation. ItmaY also
be the means of transferring the
profitable industry oil sealskin
dressing from England to America.
If this should be insufficient, the
United States would still hold the
power Of settling the whole quss-
ton, once for all, by killing all the
seals on the Pribylov Islands.
That would be a last resort, bu3it
would be better than either war 2r
further humiliating negotiatiotA.

The Progress OF the Trust.

Having gained practically COM
plete control OF the anthracite coal
fields, thus being able to regulate
Wholesale coal prices, Mr.. J. P.
Morgan is about to embark,
through one Of his corporations, in
the retail coal business. This he
says will make coal cheaper to the
consumer. Perhaps it will-for
time.
Mr.. Morgan has erected himself
into a trust, and his gradual adop-
ton of trust methods is edifyIng
and instructive.
Like every other trust, he started
with the premise that the real pur-
pose Of the consolidation OF the
anthracite interests was to benefit
both producer and consumer.
Little economies phrase dear
to every trust defender--possible
only when business is done on a
large scale and without competi
ton, would enable the payment OF
high wages to miners and result in
cheap coal for buyers. But the
programme, unfolding, showed
the methods which the Standard
Oil and Sugar trusts long since
made familiar. Little economies
quickly showed themselves in the
reduction of wages of miners, in
the restriction Of output, in the
narrowing Of the margin Of profit
permitted to the retailing mer-
chants, but retail prices did not
decrease. Gradually, as the power
Of the trust becomes stronger, in
stead of having customers it
merely has agents, subject to its
orders and its supervision. Ulti-
mately the entire disappearance of
the independent merchant is sure
to result IN the way OF which Mr..
Morgan is about TO set the FASH
ion.
To put consumer and producer
wholly at the mercy OF one middle
man is obviously a gross wrong to
both. But half the lawyers tell US
it is a necessary evil, while all the
lawyers hold as maxim OF their
profession that there can be no
wrong without its remedy. Which
are right1

older than ours to Britain, and better
than that Of any other race to the land it
occupies; but Palestine would not hold
the halt of them, and if that half went
back, the remainder would in twenty
years be as numerous, as poor, as oojec.
tionable, and as UNANIMOUSLY treated as
ever. The great facts OF history are not
alterable to suit the dreams OF philan-
thropists; and one of the biggest Of them
is that the Hebrew race never changes
and is Interchangeable. 1t is, and t will
remain, as it was in the days OF the
Pharaohs, whom, as Lord Beacons6eld
said, at saw and survived" the most
separate and the earthiest of all races,
with the highest power OF throwing up
men of spiritual genius and menCal
grandeur. There is one earthly hope
OfJustice for the Jew, and but one, and
that is that the Christian races Oi Europe
shall embrace the doctrines of Christ.
