Two Conspicuous Examples.

1t is amusing to know that England
is about to discard her policy of free
trade to save herself from absolute
humiliation in the industrial world
1t brings the tariff question squarely
down to the proposition laid down in
the Republican platforms in the past
lit is better to protect home indus
tries, by means of a tariff on imports
and keep mills and factories busy
than to maintain free trade and have
industrial stagnation.
Every period of Democratic low tar
iii in American history has been a
period of hard times Every period
of high protection has seen a great
industrial prosperity. In the last six
years, while the United States under a
protective tariff has been enjoying un-
told prosperity, England under free
trade has been struggling with indus
trial paralysis, and VIII try the tariff
as a cure
Free trade and free silver are the
two conspicuous examples Of wrong
guesses on the part of the Democratic
party.-Ottawa (Kan-) Herald.

GREATEST USERS OF TOBACCO
Figures Show That. Americans Have
That Distinction.

An expert has figured up the
amount of tobacco annually consumed
in the United States. The total is SO
large as to be slightly beyond the
reach of the ordinary mind. Accord
ing to this statistician, the quantities
used in this country every year read
something like this: 100000, 900
pounds of manufactured tobacco, TO-
000,000,000 cigarettes and 1000, 0OO, 900
cigars. The value of the tobacco
chewed and smoked annually in the
United States, exclusive of cigars and
cigarettes, is more than $500, 900, 900.
Since Japan yearly smokes 100000
900 cigarettes and China only half that
number, the United States is the ban
ner consumer of the little paper rolls.
With regard to the use and abuse
of tobacco, a New York physician
says that in the case of men tobacco
is sometimes harmless and possibly
beneficial, but because of their pecu-
liar nervous susceptibility should be
let religiously alone by women and
growing youths. OF the several ways
of using the weed the most harmful
is said to be snuff taking, followed in
order of harmfulness by chewing,
cigar smoking, pipe smoking and Gig
arettes.

1T is NOT TRUE.
American Farmers Are Not ReconciIed
to the Cuban Reciprocity Scheme

American Farmers Are Not ReconciIed
to the Cuban Reciprocity Scheme.
Even the selfish interests that have
opposed it heretofore have become
convinced that no harm will come to
them because of its provisions.-New
York Commercial Advertiser
This would be pleasant news if only
it were true. But it is not Not a
single interest that has at any time op-
posed the Cuban treaty-excepting, OF
course. the beet sugar factories that
have been bought up by Havemeyer
has become convinced that no harm
will come to them because of its pro-
Visions On the contrary, they con
tinue to assert that great harm will
come to them and to protest against
the wrong and the injustice Aof the
proposition. TO assert that Not an
American interest is sacrificed that
1T will do harm to no industry" is to
assert an opinion that may be hon
estly entertained. even though based
upon a total misconception of fact.
But to state, as the Commercial Ad-
yertiser does, that all interests hereto
fore hostile to the Cuban treaty are
reconciled to its adoption is to state
a palpable untruth.

to the north Queen Margherita had
appeared to her intimates to be
strangely excited and uneasy.
1t is pretty accurately known that
the wedding took place outside the
Italian domain and while the queen
was on her way to Copenhagen. So
that King Charles entertained a royal
bride unawares when he welcomed
Queen Margherita.
1t had been known that the Dowa-
ger Queen was mystic and democratic
but no one supposed that she would
develop a romanticism in her middle
age. A daughter of the royal house
or Savoy and the widow of king, it
was at least supposed that if the
mother queen married again she
would select a partner from among
the princely families of Europe But
no one conceived the possibility of
the mature widow marrying a pie
beian.
The fact of the marriage is denied
at Rome. The report was originally
teiegraphed from Bologna. In spite
of denials, the fullest credence is
given the story.

teal Disadvantages of Reciprocity

1t is bests to look the situation
squarely in the face and to know the
truth regarding the prospect of nego-
tiating a reciprocity dicker with Can
ada AS a matter of fact, there is no
prospect whatever of arranging a deal
whereby the manufacturers of the
United States shall obtain larger priv
ileges in the Canadian market Even
If 1T were possible to bring about
reciprocity in natural products; even
supposing that the Republican party
should be foolhardy- enough to still
Iurther arouse the resentment of
American farmers by opening up free
trade in farm products, there is no rea-
son to suppose that American manu-
facturers would be permitted to mon
opolize the Canadian market. Every
day 1t becomes more and more appar-
ent that Canada will never convent to
become the dumping ground for
American surplus production. At this
moment Canada's iron industry is suf-
fcring sorely from. the invasion of
cut-price stuff from this side of the
border. American brands OF iron are
being offered at 81 per ton below the
lowest price Canadian iron can be
laid down at. The Toronto Mail of
Nov directs attention to the fact
that American statesmen in Canada are
quoting cut prices on every kind of
iron and steel merchandise.

OLD SOLDIERS WANT MONEY.

in Trust by Pope.


Duke Francis V. of Tie house of
Austria Este, who ruled the provinces
of Modena and Massa Carrara before
the unifcation of Italy, and was dis
possessed by Victor Emmanuel IL, in
in 1860, bequeathed, in 1875, when he
died a legacy amounting to $4000,0OO,
in favor of his old destitute soldiers.
This sum was intrusted to Pope Plus
TX. for distribution. Some years ago
the surviving soldiers of Duke Francis
brought a suit against the Pope for the
payment of the legacy. The Pope,
however. only disbursed few francs
to some utterly needy families, and
the suit remained still undecided. Now
about 800 of Duke Francis former SOL
diers have decided to ask the vatican
to give an account of the huge sum
intrusted to Plus TX, and, in view of
the mutual position of Italy and the
vatican, some curious developments
are expected.

So grave a menace to her industrial
welfare is not long to be endured by
Canada. Her tariff will go up. not
down. She will not commit industrial
suicide by opening still wider her
gates to the invasion of the American
surplus. The Mail says:
"Our neighbors have an enormous
manufacturing capacity and 4 greatly
shrunken home demand. Congestion
is resulting. To relieve the pressure
of accommodating stocks upon prices,
they can afford to dump enough on
this market to smash many of our in
dustries and turn tens of thousands
of our people out of employment. The
danger is urgent. If we are to keep
back the tidal wave of depression
that threatens us from the United
States we must have our tariff wall
raised. We should have had it raised
long ago had there been men of bust
ness in the place of the squanderers
who are now in charge of the country's
affairs
In strong confirmation of this state
ment of Canada's growing aversion to
any and all schemes of reciprocity in
manufactured products, the Ottawa
correspondent. of the Toronto Globe,
the recognized mouthpiece of the Can
adian government, writes to that pa
per Nov Is as follows:
Reciprocity with Canada appears
to be live topic in the United States
at present, but here nobody is wasting
any sleep over the matter. Senator
Fairbanks has not, as far as can be
learned, communicated with the prime
minister since last spring, when he
was told that the resumption of the
Joint High Commission could not be
considered until after the close of
Parliament
IF negotiations looking toward reci-
to be on the. initiative of the United
States when any proposition which
our neighbors to the south may make
will receive fair and honest consfdera-
ton 1t is well, however, for them to
without any favors from the United
States
Herein, we think, the Canadian at
titude is accurately expressed Can
ada is not going to wreck her indus
trial future by inviting reciprocity in
manufactured products That much
seems to be settled. It is wen that
reciprocity promoters on this side of
the boundary should know the facts
and understand the conditions.

THE WEEKLY
PANORAMA
ITALIAN COURT rs SHOCKED
Queen Margherita Said to Have Made
Morqanatic Marriage.

Queen Margherita Said to Have Made
Morganatic Marriage.
Another royal sensation has shocked
the courts of Europe, and more espe-
cially that of Italy.
1t is nothing less than the astonfsh-
ing report that Dowager Queen Mar
gnerita, the widow of the assassinated
Humbert, has morganatically married
her chauffeur.
The engineer to whom the queen
mother is alleged to have been mar
.ried is named Tenerani. He is over
fifty years of age and is employed as
caretaker of the numerous charitable
institutions which are supported by
the queen.
The courtship must have been swift
and secret, for the news of the mar
rage has come quite as suddenly as
did the startling report of the assassi-
nation of the king.
The marriage, it is said, took place
during the queens recent journey to
Norway, and SO successfully has the
royal bride concealed her romance
that even now the name of the bride
groom is not known, nor the exact
place where the wedding took place.
What is known is that the queen
went to Denmark on the 10th of last
September; that after a brief stay in
Copenhagen she went on a visit to
the King of Norway and Sweden, and

but not SO theirs. Peach Blossom, the
Korean Cinderella's name, was the
family drudge. One day as the mother
was starting OFF with the favorite
daughter to picnic she said to Peach
Blossom: You must not leave an
til you have huIled bagful of rice
and filled the broken crock with
water" While sitting there bemoan-
ing her hard lot she heard 'wittering
and futtering of wings. Looking up,
she saw flock of sparrows pecking
the hulls of the rice. Before recov-
ering from her surprise a little imp
jumped out of the fireplace and so
skillfully repaired the crock that but
a few minutes of work was required
to fill it with water. Then she went
to the picnic and had a royal time.
On another occasion the mother
said: You must stay until you have
pulled up all the weeds in the field"
This time COW came out of the forest
and ate up the weeds il ten mouth
fuls. Peach Blossom followed the COW
into the woods and was led to where
there was an abundance of ripe, lus-
cious fruit Gathering a large guam
tity, she went to the fete and was the,
most welcome guest. Her sister asked
about it and on being told determined
she would get some of this fruit for
herself.
When the next gala day came the
sister stayed at home and let Peach
Blossom go. The COW came out of
the woods as before and the sister fol-
lowed it through tangled brier and
thorn bushes, with the result that her
face was much scratched and her skin
deep beauty all gone.
