The Dinner at Quantico.

The Hon. ARTHUR PuE GoRMAN has sent
out his corps Of bllposters, and, doubtless,
believes himself to be the favorite candi-
date of the Maryland anti-Bryan Demo
Gratis on the first ballot. He is mistaken,
as reports OF the Turtle, or, in local
speech, Turkle dinner at Quantico last
week show. The "Gazetteer is not very
communicative about Quantico, only tell
ing us that Quantico contains IA lum-
Der yard and three churches" Our cs-
teemed Maryland contemporary, the Sails
bury Courier, is more satisfactory, and let's us
know that Quantico, situated at the head Of
Quantico Creek, has always been q favor
ite rendezvous for politicians and political
meetings, and is n kind Of depot for all the
good things in the eating way In which
the west side OF Wicomico abounds." Among
these good things are tho wild duck, musk
rat, oyster diamondback terrapin, white
perch, quail and rabbit Finally, continues
our gcographer "Quantico is noted for its
mild and equable climate, its picturesque
scenery, and it's large production OF mud
turtles"
On account Of the turtles the scenery Is
made more picturesque every year by q

and every other form OF turkle known to
men or gods. Ice cream followed the turkle
just as the antitrust issue Is added to
the Chicago platform.
At last the destined Maryland candidate,

Capt. BUNKER SMITH of Tyaskin, who ate

| per cent came from the United States,
only 17.7 from Great Britain, and 9.s from
| all other countries. Canada gives the
United States free list Of over $40, 900 600
| worth OF goods. and gets, in return, free
list Of only s14, 100000.
Let us see, now how the case stood with
regard to farm products on the one hand
and manufactured articles ON the other.
In 1898 the United States took from
Canada only $5,326,OOO worth OF farm
products, and sold to her $4,000, 900
worth OF the same. In the same year
Canada imported from the United States
$35, 900, 900 worth OF American manufac-
lures, or $4,000, 900 more than the value
Of the manufactures imported from Great
Britain. This, notwithstanding the lower
rate OF duty accorded to English goods
Under the so-called Jubilee tariff. Finally,
the Importance OF the Canadian market
to tho United States Ia summed up as
follows: Our total exports in 1898 to
Mexico, Central America the West Indies
and tho whole Of South America, which
countries have an aggregate population
OF "a, 100000 amounted to $50, 7S6, 900,
while less than six million Canadians took
$50, ,537, 900 Of United States goods. These
figures are taken from the article in the
North American Reriep which is ascribed,
rightly or wrongly, to Mr.. CHARLTON, but
most OF them were used by him and his
fellow Commissioners during tho late at
tempt to arrive at improved tariff relations
in Washington.
There Is no doubt that the trade between
the United States and Canada might be
greatly enlarged by a reduction OF the
duties levied by us on the farm, forest and
mine products OF the Dominion, and by q
corresponding concession to American
manufactures But Mr.. CHARLTON is JUS
titled in expressing apprehensions that,
even II such n reciprocal arrangement
could be brought about by the commission,
it would fail to be sanctioned by the needed
two-thirds majority of the American SEN
ate. There is widespread and deep
seated feeling on this side of the border
that, so long as we kcepup the tariff bars,
the arousing OF an irresistible movement
on the part OF the Canadians for an
nexation to tho United States is only n
question of time. Lord ELGTN believed and
said that only by tho reciprocity treaty
which he effected was the success OF such
movement averted more than forty years
ago. Far-sighted Canadians are as certain
now as they were then that they have
nothing to hope for from Great Britain.
They have tried the experiment OF admit
ting British manufactures at rates lower
than those imposed upon similar goods
from other countries. They have secured
nj In
no chance, as they now must recognize, OF
persuading even the present imperialistic
Government Of Great Britain to admit
Canadian food stuffs to the markets OF the
United Kingdom upon terms more favor
able than those imposed upon like staples
from the United States.
The one suggested alternative for the
market to be gained through admission
to our Union has thus been proved to be
a dream

The French Government knows perfectly well that
such an act would be OF an unfriSndly character
and that it would be regarded as such by Great
Britain.

war Of conquest into which our country

justify itself by quoting from our Declara-

they are endowed with certain inalicnablc

their just powers from the consent of the
