the retention Of i0on1 men in the army.
he was arguing for decrease. and not An
increase. for then there were s72 go men
IN service. The war with Spain was not
ended. for the peace treaty had not been
ratified. In the meantime people must

A "Sham' Industry.

u Lf.aL# I'd
During the past year fax to the
value Of about 100000 was raised
il North Dakota. A large flax mill
has also been built at Fargo. The fax
industry is another of the industries
designated "sham Industries" by the
free traders. An industry which
represents a product for one year Of
10000 900 is q pretty lusty "sham."
II all, or even any, of the shams Of the
free-traders had as much sound
reality as that about them, there
might be some reason for treating the
doctrine of free-trade with. some
slight respect. Such a reality as that
would indeed be q bonanza to them, to
bolster up their empty theories.
The fax industry is not yet such a
lusty "sham" as that other so-called
''sham" industry of the Free. Traders
viz, the tin plate industry; and s10,-
100000 is only a fractional part of the
value of the yearly product Of our tin
plate mills, but it is making a very
good beginning and will undoubtedly
in time be as unpleasant q subject Of
discussion to the f%ree-trader as the
