[f the Ministera yentured to point to the sl.ght reduction they made in the tariff as a reason for this increase in trade, one has only to look across the line to see this same wave of prosperity accompanying a high- er tariff than wasin force duriog the hard times so lately passed. If tarift tink- ering is to be accepted as the cause of this

prosperity, then we must believe that, although the American tariff was con-

siderably bigner than ours to begin with it made them prosperous to raise it etill higher, and that it has made us prosper~ ous to decrease our relatively lower tariff by atrifle. A bigotted partisan might possibly be broughtto relieve this; but it would be a shame to have so mnch credu- lity go to waste when ‘‘quacks” are euffer~ ing for Jack of enough such fellows,
