Aot to 0 too fur hark, there is tlie investigation of the armor plate furnished the navy hv the highly proteeted steel industries during tlie Mckinley adininist ration. It was ronelusivrlv proven that the armor sold I'nrle. Sam was full of hlowholes, fissures and cracks which wen plumed and filled and then delivered and placed on the armed snips to protect the lives ol American sailors lrom the shot and shell of possible enemies. These opponents of President Wilson were willing to send tlie navy or this country 111(0 battle with what the young men who would risk their lives to defend the flag were taught to believe was a shield and protection, but which the makers knew would prove a sham and a certain Jure to death and disaster. it is aiso pleasant to recall oi jiow tlie public monevs used to be turned over to the Standard Oil bank, the Na tional City 'Dank of New York. Jn 1897, under Lyman J. Gage, secretary of the treasury, the government kindly icu an ns money now inroiign mat imnu at tlie rate or a million dollars a day. When congress ordered an investi gation it was revealed that President Hepburn of that bank had written to the secretary. of the treasury of the United (States of America, who was a leader in the grand old party, in these words: "If you will take the pains to look at our list of directors, you will sen that we havo very great political claims, in view of what was done during tho canvass last year." The New York custom house deal is another sweet bit of history. Tn 18')!) the government sold the old New York custom house to the National City bank, better known as the Standard Oil or Rockefeller bank, for the sum of jvi,2(;,"),')0(), but instead of the money being paid and depos ited in tne united btates treasury, according to law, tlie re publican administration directed that the bank simply credit the government on its books with $:j,'2lT),()()0. in other words,' all the bank had to do under this friendly agreement was make an entry on its books to the effect that the bank owetl the government that amount, and left it in the hands ol the bank to lend at 4 per cent, while the government then rented the building from the bank. I he balance ol .)(l,(M)(J was not entered on the hooks and was not paid, so as to enable the bank to say that it did not own the property, and thus escape paving local and state taxes, because tlie property standing in the name of the government is not taxable. The same secretary of the treasury afterwards sought an appropriation from con gress of 109,000 to pay the rent of the building. .nut it is ol the great principle ol protection to Ameri- ln lalior that Mr. Hughes and the (J. 0. P. press love to warble. At Lawrence, Mass., princely stipends were re ceived by the beneficiaries of the tariff. Testimony bo- ore congress showed that the protected Lawrence mill operatives were paid to 8 per week, ami whole families were loi'ced to live on tins amount.

Particularly should we watch Canadian polities now, owing lo the practical certainty that the voters of Ciiimdn will at their next general election overthrow the conserva- ive government and return the liberals to power. The provincial election just held in Brititsh Columbia resulled in an overwhe minty liberal victm-v S. Cn. licit isli Columbia is concerned, the conservative nartv was practically wiped off the map.
