his conclusions recently when seen oon

New York Herald:
'sThe two things that impressed me

Senator Eikins seems to have at
last struck an IDEA as regards a ship
subsidy t. which but little opposition
may be expected from the people OF
the nation. It is said that he intends
to introduce a bill at the next session
of congress providing for a reduction
OF 10 per cent in the tariff on all
goods imported in American vessels.
This is the kind Of governmental aid
to the shipping interest to which
no one can reasonably object. It i'm
poses no burden on any one, nor does
it take from some to be given to
others, while at the same time it
should prove a great stimulus to the
ship building industry on this side
of the ocean.

full and extended consideration, the
Canadians have arrived at the con-
clusion, no matter now 1avorably it
may have struck them on first
thought, that they are not particularly
enxious to accept Chamberlain's pro-
posa1 for preferential trade relations
between the mother country and the
c~olonists. The tariff preference OF
SO 1-3 per cent which England already
enjoys, the Canucks think, is about
as much as they care to give and are
not eager to make a greater reduction,
something they would have to do we're
they to fall in with the secretary's
idea. On the whole, they seem to
prefer to let matters remain as they
are.

harmony in the party, and all the get

being dished out by the friends OF
presidential aspirants is bosh." Then,
as if having certain gentlemen par
ticularly in mind, he continued: THE
trouble about this harmony talk is
that every fellow wants everybody
else to harmonic with him and adopt
principles advocated by his pet an

is what is needed. When we get the
issue we will be healed and until
we do it is idle to talk of harmony or
anything else Mr.. Griggs realizes
the need Of his party more plainly
than all the organs, Clevelands, Hills
and the other men who have assumed
to set themselves up as competent
to prescribe for it's ailments. At all
events he is more honest in talking
of it.
