Con densed by the Times-Herald. tyajor McKlnley seems to be carrying Canton unanimously. The South's Mistake. Beginning next Tuesday for three days thereafter, the city of Richmond, Vn., former capital of the Southern con federacy, will be a. center of national Interest. On that day will begin the sixth annual reunion of the United Confed erate Veterans; and on It will also occur the laying of the corner stone of a $200,000 monument which is to be erected In the center of Richmond's finest park to the memory of Jefferson Davis. We print elsewhere he programme of the occasion, and It aeems to us to call for some brief comment. To reunions of the men who wore the Kruy there can be no possible objection r long oh 'the coming together of these former comrades In arms Is In a spirit purely of fraternity and friendship. The warriors of the South were brave and true to what they thought was right. No one begrudges them the recollection of their valor. It Is a common heritage ennobling for all time the name "Ameri can." They would be false to the In stincts of genuine manliness did they not tnke honest delight In the calling up of memories of joint hazards and suf ferings and plennures during the strain nt civil strife. The North is not jealous of these reunions of the veterans of the gray. It appreciates their usefulness and stints not of Its kindly Interest and, sympathy. Indeed, It has no nason to be other than magnanimous; all that It hoped for has come to It from the crucible of war; all that It expects In fu ture In the way of national unity and advancement seems certain of realiza tion. But with Its present professions of satisfaction nt the Issue of the rebellion how can the South reconcile the rearing of exultant memorials to treason? The foremost men of the South today admit that secession was a futile dream; con cede that the experiment urged on by JeffersonvDavis, even If it had at the be ginning succeeded. It would have led ultimately to confusion anddlsmay;and voluntarily cry pardon for past Indorse ment of a now-recognised mistake. Under these circumstances, does It re flect credit upon their judgment for them to spend vast energy and money In commemorating a leadership which deceived? Do men of discretion as a rule build monuments to those who mis lead and beguile them? Is it Indicative of good Bense for the buncoed to deify the buncoer? If secession was a mir age, then was Jefferson Davis a false prophet, and the perpetuation of his memory becomes the eternal publica tion of his folly. It will b observed that we have con sidered this question solely from the atandpqlnt oCooniViUncy for the South, But there la another view that requires to be taken into consideration. By all the rules of civilised warfare Jefferson Davis, having lifted the standard of revolt against his government and failed, must be regarded not as a martyr, but as a traitor. With mag nanimity unparalleled, the victors of Appomattox declined to exact from him treason's established penalty; but Is It fair, under any view of present condi tions, for Americans claiming alle giance to the government which Jeffer son Davis tried todlsrupt.nowto reward that magnanimity by dedicating to treason a conspicuous public tribute? It must make decent Americans wtary to read of United States revenue cutters firing upon steamers which seek to con vey munitions of war to the Cuban Insurgents. Although the voice of the people Is overwhelmingly for Cuba and. freedom, the arm of this government Is deliberately stretched forth to aid the tyranny of Spain. Truly, we have fallen Into curious ways. The Root ot the Trouble. Disinterested observation is often the most reliable. The Montreal Star, in the recent Canadian campaign, made a strong point for Protection in that do minion by Its repeated citation of what an alleged "revenue" tariff had done fur the United States. "The Demo crats," It said, "tried a 'revenue' tariff and almost bankrupted the American nation, as every farmer, every mechan ic, every merchant and every manufac turer in the Unlou knows." It con tinued: "A few years of national poverty and panic afflicting the Canadian people such as our American friends have been cursed with through their revenue tar iff, would set back the trude and com merce of the dominion twenty years, would breed discord, would discourage all kinds of business enterprise, and, in all probability disrupt the dominion. A revenue tariff needs only to be an alysed Impartially to show Its absurd ity. Let us consider what a revenue tariff under present circumstances would likely do for Canada. Let It be borne firmly in mind that a 'revenue' tariff means a tariff lowered to the point where the outside world can prof itably to them do the manufacturing for us, and by the substitution of for eign goods for home goods bring an as sured revenue to the government. On all the great things that are consumed It would mean relatively little of a sav ing to the Canadian consumer, while it would put the wuges for making them Into the hands of Germans, Americans and other foreign makers. Canadian manufacturers of all great staple arti cles have abundant home competition, which has kept prices low to the farm ers, laborers, and other consumers, while the manufacturers' profit has by home competition been kept right down to low water mark. The protective tar iff has held this market for Canadians. Lower the tariff a very little and you wipe out the profits the Canadian mak ers have had, and Immediately you have a 'revenue' tariff. By this lower ing nobody In Canada will be benefit ted to an extent expressible In dollars and cents to the individual to mean a substantial saving, but there Is one result you will get with a vengeance; you will take the bread out of the mouths of Canadian mechanics; you will close up all the great factories of the dominion; you will reduce the tail ors' customers, the grocers' patrons, the shoemakers' buyers; you will throw out of work an army of bookkeepers and clerks in fact you will Btop the circulation of a vast amount of money, and bring on Just such a financial crisis as the American nation has been deso lated with." These words from an Impartial and unbiased source, show what is thought, apait from the doctinalres who at pres ent dominate the American Democracy, of the plan of wooing prosperity by giving over to foreigners the profits of some business. Nothing which is said In the foregoing citation goes beyond the truth. We In this country have had recent and vivid demonstration that the consequences of a revenue tariff are just m the Montreal paper de scribes them. They not only include loss of profits, loss of markets, loss of wages and loss of work, but that In finitely greater loss, loss of confident e In tho future. Three years of such a tariff In this country have wrought worse havoc than was wrought three decades ago by five years ot phenom enal war. The wreckers who have ef fected this dlsnster will hardly be per mitted to achieve a new dispensation of ruin by the substitution of a mone tary for a revenue implement of tor ture. All Pennsylvania Is honored in the Invitation which has been extended to Charles Emory Smith to address today's big ratification meeting at Ckjnton. Without doubt that meeting will hear something worth listening to. No Fear of Secession. In the current number of the North American Review Senator Teller dis cusses very frankly the attitude of the west to the east, and make some statements which gain In Interest In consequence of his more recent action at St Louis. For example he Bays: "The West Is not only rich In the pre. clous metals, but In lead, copper, and Iron. With Immense fields of bitumin ous and anthracite coal, and the finest timber on the continent, It must In time secure Its full share of American manufactures. Agriculture must In crease correspondingly, and, with the Increase of population and wealth, the west will no longer complain of the east, nor will the cast treat the west, as It has heretofore, as a dependency; and Instead ot the east and west growing further apart I believe they will be closer In their relations than they are now or ever have been. The west Is loyal to (he Interests of the whole coun try. Without manufactures the west ern Republicans in congress have main tained with great seal the theory of pro tection to American Industries. Their Interest in coast defences has not been less than that of those who live on the seaboard. The demand for a navy commensurate In strength with our na tional greatness and national danger has found Its strongest advocates among the representatives of the states that could not be disturbed by a hostile force by land or sea." In another place In the same article the Colorado senator declares that "an Insult to our flag would he resented by the people of the west as it would In no other part of the country. They would not inquire what it would cost or how it would affect trade and commerce. There never will be two republics made out of this one. The west will never de sire It. and If the east ever does the west will prevent it. A common flag, com mon ancestry, a common Interest, Jus tice to all in legislation and administra tion, will keep the states in a union never to be broken by forelsn or domes tic foe." These words were written prior to the St. Louis convention, but it is unlikely that their author would now care to modify them. His enthusiasm for one particular belief free coinage of silver has carried htm to an extreme position; but it prosperity shall be re stored as a result of the working out of the St. Louis platform Senator Teller's constituents will share equally with eastern men in the benefits thereof and will consequently have their eyes open ed to their present mistake. In any event, the west Is loyal and will remain so without reference to the financial or any other seemingly sec tional line ot division. Today tho Republicans of Luzerne county . will hold primaries for the choice of delegates to the county and senatorial conventions of next Tuesday. An effort has been made to secure a larger participation at these primaries than usual of the better ele ment of Republicans In order that the delegates chosen may be men of superior Intelligence and char acter. As an Incentive to this end, the three candidates for the congressional nomination have united In a pledge not to use money to influence the conven tion. There being no large Inducement in prospect, it is hoped that the market able type of delegate will not this time take the trouble to seek an election at the primaries, but will yield place to men of principle. The hope, however, is not very bright. Some one ought to remind Chris. Ma gee that playing the harp of a single string grows monotonous when prolonged beyond reason. Those who read the esteemed Pittsburg Times with Its dally flings at Senator Quay will comprehend our point. In 1891, under Harrison, corn brought 40 cents a bushel. Today It goes beg ging at 25 cents. This Is one reason why the American farmer will vote for Mc Klnley. HOW FARMERS HAVE FARED. DEPRECIATION IN ANNUAL CROP VALUES. Value. 1891. 1H95.

CUBA'S DELIVERANCE SIRE. From the Washington Post. The fact Is. simply, that the adminis tration seems Indisposed to lift a hand for tho benefit of the struggling Cubans, wherens the people, who put that admin istration lu power, are, almost without ex ception, anxious to have It intervene. It Is possible, therefore, that the existing reign ot terror and ferocity may be con. tinned untllshe 5th of March, 1897, but we do not believe It possible. In the face of the popular demonstrations that have been made, that a new congress will connive at the destruction of civilisation In a coun try so near to us geographically, and so closely related to us in commerce and mu tual Interest and feeling.
