uNExpEcrED TESTIMONY.

An eminent Englishman in a recent issue of
the North American Review stated that Amer
furnished the widest free trade in the world
and called attention to the fact that this policy had not
prevented development of iron and other Industries in
the Southern States in competition with the older and
better established industries of the Middle and East
States. This fact he said, showed the folly of
strcting the policy to shores for the wider
the of exchanges the profitable trade be-
comes.
The Englshman also called attention to the fact
abroad except in proportion take something in
return. In other words, we must take our pay in
trade, unless taking it in securities some
thing of that sort
This is rank heresy from the protectlonist stand
point and it hardly to be expected that anything
approaching Endorsement thereof should ever ap.
pear in the columns of the protectionst press But
the saying goes, IT is always the unexpected that
happens. Unconscously, doubt but in fact, never
theless, several leading high tariff organs congratu-
lating Porto Rico upon being admitted to free trade
with the United States but estifyng to the sound
ness of the conclusions of the Reviews English
tributor One of them the New York Sun, goes far
to call Canadas attention to Porto Rcos good for
tune and that dependency to cut loose from it's
British connection that it, too may in and enjoy
the immunity from import taxes which this country
domestic commerce enjoys. This is surprising to say
the least giving 1t does evidence that the danger
of a policy that limits the market for products
is being realized In unexpected quarter.

INTEREST IN IRRIGATION.


One result of the recently broken drouth in the
West has been sharp revival of the discussion Of
National aid irrigation The advantages enjoyed
tered have been emphasized in such a marked degree
that the whole subject Of irrigation has been brought
to public attention For several congresses earnest eff
forts have been made by Western members to secure
recognition of irrigation National Improvement
Some little progress has been made in the way OF APP
preparations for surveys and reports the friends OF
irrigation preparing TO make a stronger ap

A Tip FoR sc4Lgvs FRIENDS.

The Atlanta News advises the friends of Admiral
Schey not to discount the result of the inquiry to be
made into the facts with battle of San
ago The following is the language in which it ad-
dresses them:
Some Of the friends of Rear Admiral Schley APP
paren trying to discount the investigation OF his conduct
II Will hardly be possible conceal and
whatever be the verdict of the board of inquiry enough
evidence VIII be brought out 10 enable the public arrive
at conclusion.
For this it is well for the friends of the
admiral to make light of the investigations If it results
they confident il will, there preudcing
the public against the inquiry for that would only minimize
the effect Of his yndcatiou,
on the contrary the official verdict should agree
with the evidence the distinguished defendant will be fully
protected by the fact that the evidence will gone TO the
country.
II is impossible conduct an inquiry as the Drey-
us trial conducted in France There free
dom OF speech and of the press, and public opinion
regard Of fair play in the conduct Of the inquiry The pre-
ceden set IN the of General Miles will
to have aud the will
public the evidence # there should be unfarness in
the conduct OF the inquiry it will be promptly exposed
Therefore the friends OF the admiral nothing
tear IRON the inquiry. Schley has been silent for three
under attacks made by inuendo which he not
notice but the ndscreton of his given him an
opportunity. 1t should not be thrown away and his friends
are foolish If they make sport of it,
The News is right. Admiral Schey has nothing to
fear and everything to gain from the giving publici-
y to everything relating the subject matter of the
inquiry Nothing that his enemies in the navy depart
ment can do will in any particular weaken his repua-
ton for bravery or shake the National belief in his
greatness naval officer.
