They are ap- prehensive that, if the cost of man- ufacture should be lowered by put- ting raw materials on the free list, the result would be such a cheap- ening of goods in certain lives as to undersell Canadian masufacturers in their own market.

Henry Grorce has not been {able to find an opposent of intel | lectual force and reputation to meet him on the sump, but Mr. J. Hampton Moore, a writer for the Public Ledger, has taken a shot at bim from behind the stump, in a pamphlet designed to show that | “the Mills bill means free trade, and that free trade means anarchy.” A controversialist who holds such absolute opinions ought to be care. ful in meddling with printing ink and paper. To assert that the Mills bill means free trade is to assert that all of the fifty-five tariff laws from 1789 to the present time were free trade measures. The fact is that none of them, at the time of passage, contemplated higher aver age 1axes on dutiable imports that the average proposed in the Mills bill. Itis equally absurd to say that free trade means anarchy. We bave had a hundred years of free trade in ihe United S:ates, with re- sults so favorable as to amount to a demonstration of its practteal value, Even if free trade should be admit- ted to be an evil, it would remain to be proved that it is a more un. bearable cvil than overtazation, The country will always be ready to risk so muck free trade as would result from reduced taxes.— Record.

Farquuar - New York is Surely Democratic. But the most important fact of all It is that Kate oousidered. Democratic remains to be New York is =n This fact was tested in 1885 and 1887. At the first named time the lodependent vote was entirely against the Democrsts, the Prohibitionist vote was smaller than it is likely to be this year, and yet the State was carried for the Democrats by a piar- ality of 11.134. In 1887 meciing with still greater difficulties—in fact, with a Labor vote to contend against running up to the heavy figures of 70,056 —~the Democrats still succeeded Thess figures that the by 17.007 plarality afford strong indication Democrats can go alone and carry the State, if they are united The 70,000 Labor votes of last year were doubtless nearly all Democrats, or represcoted men pot likely to ac with the Republican party. he | Democratic party, while the Prohibi- {tionist party has its recent propor tions, is apparently in a clear majority | in the State. The probibitionist vote may be somewhat reduced, out it would be strange, indeed, if any gain to the Republicans from this quarter were not more than offset by the vote that goes tothe Democrats from the Independent Repalicaos. a The proposition of the protection- ists or high tax advocates, that “the foreign manufacturer pays the tariff duty for the privilege of selling his uct in the American market can be illustrated in this way. The American importer buys $100 worth of Eoglish at the Eoglish manu factu ries It is shipped to New York whe the government adds $47 tariff daty. The im pays the $47.00 before he can lift bis goods and they bave cost him $147 with the freight. He sells them to the wholesaler who pays $147, the freight which the importer bas added and the importer's profit. The whole saler sells to the retailer who pays $147, the freight and two profits with the freight to his place of business, He then adds to the cost of his pur- chase, bia role to ¥he on | sumer, with three te, freight tariff added. Does the pe factarer pay for the privilege of sell. ing his gooas in the American market or does the American consumer piy everything ?

Bish, op William Taylor, the distinguished * bishop of the Methodist church, before leaving Springfield expressed his views on the disappearance of Henry M. Stan- ley, the African explorer. He sald that (f rom his knowledge of the condition of things in Africa it was highly probable | that Stanley had gone into the interior | of the country, where he could not be { heard from for a year or two, and that interested persons were taking advan. tage of his absence to create friendship for individual schemers to organize searching parties whose real object was something else than the recovery or as. sistance of Stanley. A desire for public sensations, perhaps, prompted many of the publications respecting the explorer. For his own part the bishop did not be. lieve there would be any special cause for alarm if he was not heard from for a year or two yet. A Brave Girl's Deed.
