The Popular Plurality.
From the Philadelphia Press.

ONE RESPECT the most SAN
guine Republican will have to
Il. admit that he was mistaken in
his prediction as to the result
of last Tuesdays election. This is in
the size of the popular plurality for
Mckinley. Careful observers We're
confident of an increase in the num-
ber of states the Republicans would
carry but few expected that the great
popular plurality Mckinley received
in 1896 would be surpassed in 1900.
Such, however, appears to be the
fact. The official vote of no state has
as yet been declared. but the plurality
cast in all the states is very nearly
known. Some changes will undoubted-
ly be made by the state authorities
when they count the vote butl these
are likely to balance each other very
nearly and leave the total plurality
for Mckinley at about the figures
given in another column. These fig
ures show that the Republicans car
ricd twenty-eight states by a plurality
of l,1S4,0O0 and that the Democrats
carried seventeen states by a plurality
of 100000, leaving a Republican margin
of $4,000. In 1896 McKinley's plurality
over Bryan was 60l,S54, or nearly 213,-
900 smaller than this year. This is
an unexpected increase and as grati-
flying as it Is surprising.
1t is easy now to see where the
mistake was made in estimating the
popular plurality. Allowance was
made for falling off in the Republic
can vote in the Eastern states, where
large number of Democrats who
voted with the Republicans i'm 1896
returned to their party ranks and
thousands of iother Democrats who
remained at home four years ago came
out and voted their party ticket. 1t
was also conceded that many Repub-
licans In the sure Republican states
like Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts,.
Rhode Island and Connecticut would
not go to the polls, as those states
We're known to be certain to cast their
vote for Mckinley. The loss of these
votes 1t was conceded would reduce
the Republican pluralities in the
East. But on the other hand not
enough allowance was made for the
enthusiasm of the Republicans and
the popularity of Mckinley in the
Middle West and In the states between
the western boundary of Iowa and
Minnesota and the Pacific Ocean. and
the decreased Democratic vote TO be
cast in the South.

GREAT LAKE TRAFFIC.

The great water transportation route which
stretches from Buffalo to Chicago and Duluth
lie sharing In the prosperity and activity which
Characterize every branch Of business In the
United States today. The monthly statement
Of lake commerce prepared by the bureau Of
statistics shows that during September 5,o57
vessels entered the 81 principal ports on the
Great Lakes and from the opening Of the navi.
CATION season UP to Oct. 1, the vessel entrances
aggregated 2s,o3o. Chicago leads the list OF
ports, I,02s vessels having entered her harbor
during September. and 6.7ei during the season.
The ports OF Buffalo. Cleveland and Milwaukee,
each, however, show record In excess OF 1000
vessels for the season. and at the ports Of Dc.
troit. Duluth and Toledo the arrivals have
ranged from 1000 to 1900.
O.
A considerable portion Of the general public
seems to have gained the impression that the
traffic Of the Great Lakes IL confined to the
transportation OF q few commodities, such as
iron ore, coal brcadstuffs and lumber. That
this Is far from, being the case could not he
more concusively proven than by citing the
fact that in Septembes so5, 707 tons OF ,nclassi.
fed freight were moved, and the total move.
mcht for the season thus far aggregates 1886, ,sss
tons. Every prominent port on the lakes is rep.
resented in this total
That the strike in the anthracite coal region
has had its effect upon lake shipments would
seem to be proved by comparison OF the Ag.
urcs for August and September. During August
there were transported via the inland waterway,
6lo, 7o3 tons Of anthracite coal, whereas in Sep.
tcinber the shipments fell on to 257,7s7 tons
In soft coal there is falling off from COL 1864
tons in August to 487i57 tons In September
For the season to Oct. l. the total movement
was 1,s13.DTo tons Of hard coal and 2,D65, ,s2s
tons Of soft goal.
The recent organization In the Great Lake
district Of new transportation company which
has placed orders for new boats designed es.
pecially to carry the products Of the Calumet
and llecla copper mine seems to call attention
to the volume Of this traffic already taking the
water route. During September there were
shipped by boat 17.O2o tons Of copper. and for
Inc season to Oct. the total movement 10 49,.
605 tons. OF the latter amount. sl,sS9 tons.
or more than twothirds OF the total, was re.
ceived at Buffalo, whereas the heaviest shipping
record is that Of West Superior, which during
the season has sent out $3.50 tons.
The movement Of breadstufs is not. Of course

N GUN n fCIloN Wltn lHe Sdndu-
ian elections some figures touch
Il ing upon the recent development
of Canada are instructive, espe-
cially to Americans, who do not as a
rule keep we'll informed on Canadian
affairs.
Four years ago Canada's foreign
trade was $239, OPS, 1850. This year it is
1891 ,625,S55 a gain of s142,6OO,495. or in
round numbers 60 per cent. No other
country in the world can equal this in
crease. Four years ago Canada's ex-
ports We're s121, ,015,s52: this year they
are S191, ,s97, ,446, a gain of $70.SS3,594, or
33 1-3 per cent. In the same period the
aggregate increase In the foreign trade
Of the United States, including specie
and bullion, was only IS per cent. or,
exclusive of specie and bullion, it was
only 2S per cent, and yet Americans
thought they were doing pretty well.
That the domestic trade and industry
of the dominion have kept pace with
shown by the rapid increase in business
reported by the chartered banks. Com
pairing August 1895, with the same
month of the present year, there has
been an increase of close on $4,000, 900
in note circulation and of over $117,-
100000 in public deposits. Since 1897
the increase in public deposits has been
at the rate Of $2,5OO,OOO per month. The
following is the record:

Middle west-namely, Ohio, 1ndiann,
Illinois. Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa
and Minnesota--President Mckinley
had in 1896 about 4s7,o0O plurality. The
returns now at hand Indicate that
these same states will give him this
year about $4,000 plurality. a gain of
$4,000. In the region west of Iowa and
Minnesota and reaching to the pa.
cific Ocean, Mr.. Bryan carried ten
states in 1896 with an aggregate plu
raljty of about 100000, and Mr.. Me-
kinley carried three states with an
aggregate plurality Of a little over
10000. leaving Bryan clear plurality
in this region OF 100000. Last Tuesday
Bryan carried only four of these states
with an aggregate plurality Of less
than $4,000, while Mckinley carried
nine states with an aggregate plurality
of 125,OOO leaving a Republican mar
gin of $4,000 in that region as COM
pared with a Bryan margin In 1895
of 10000. Here Is Democratic loss
and a Republican gain of 345,000 in the
far Western states. In the Middle
and far Western states, then, McKin-
ley has this year clear plurality over
Bryan of about 625,OOO as compared
with 2t7,OOO plurality in 1896, Re-
publican gain of about 40S,0O0
This great gain and the compare
lively small Democratic pluralities
given in the Southern states not only
offset the Republican losses in the
Eastern states but add over 100000
to the Mckinley plurality of four
years ago. If the official figures main
tain these figures. President Mckinley
will have the honor of receiving the
largest plurality ever given to any
presidential candidate. This honor has
been heretofore held by the late Cen
eral Grant whose plurality over Gree
ley in 1872 was 762.991. The Republican
plurality of 60l,s54 in 1896 fell about
16l 900 below the plurality Of 1872. But
President Mckinley has apparently
passed General Grants plurality by a
margin of over $4,000. His electoral
vote will also be the largest given
any candidate. General Grant had
2S6 votes in the electoral college, while
Mr.. Mckinley has 292. or six more.
From these facts and figures it is
possible to estimate the size of the
Republican victory gained on Tues
day.
