In its preface he said: “In America the peoples of the world are being fused together, but they are run into an Emgl_:sh i mold; Alfred’s laws and Chaucer's tongue are theirs, | whether they would or no. There are men who say at Britain in her age will claim the glory of having pianted greater Englands across the seas. to perceive that she has done more than found planta- tions of her own—that she has imposed her institu- tions upon the offshoots of Germany, of Ireland, of Scandinavia and of Spain.

We are greater than it all. If we chose we could crush it like an eggshell. Tf other parts of the world seek honor by adopting the title, “the Greater United States,” let it be so, according to their fancy. But even then the title will be misapplied, for where is the aggregation of nations, with a common speech and genius, that can truly boast itself greater than this country? C those of Great Britain, the Canadians desire no change in their Government BRITISH PROTECTIONISTS NADA has voted to sustain the administra- tion. The three great repre- sentatives of the English-speaking world stand, there fore, as a unit for that kind of progress which is call Laurier at Ottawa, as McKinley at Washington and Salisbury at London, will continue to direct the affairs of his people. There is no harmony of political sentiment among the three Governments. McKinley stands in this country for Liberalism, while Salisbury is a Tory oi the stalwart kind. known to Canadian politics as a Liberal, and. while he has been in sym- pathy with Salisbury’s imperial policy, has no affilia- tion with what is known as Conservatism in Britain. Thus the only thing in common among the people of the three countries which led them to sustain the ex- isting Governments is a satisfaction with the existing order of things and a desire to maintain the prevail- ing prosperity. Notwithstanding the aid given by Laurier and Cana- dian Liberals to the Conservative Government at London in the South African war, the British Tories desired the success of Sir Charles Tupper, leader of the Conservatives in Canada. The chief reason for that desire is that the average British Tory has devel- oped a very strong sentiment in favor of establishing a system of protection throughout the empire, and it was believed that had Tupper attained power in Can- ada he would have strongly supported such a policy. Even since the defeat of Canadian Conservatism it i is by no means certain that some effort will not be ! made in the direction of protection. The London Chronicle in commenting upon a speech recently made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer before the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce says: “There are ! plenty of men in the Tory party who are as protec- tionist to-day as Lord George Bentinck was half a century ago. They have a profound belief in pro- hibitive and preferential tariffs, in the ring-fence and differential duties, which they are pleased to call ‘“fair trade’ They would rot hesitate to tax the food of the people, <o long as it came from Germany, or Rus sia, or the United States. though they might be pru- dent enopgh to say that the only.” " 1t is t8 Chamberlain the Tories look for leadership | in the movement for protection.

As it is he will not, it seems, have much en- couragement from the colonies in making the fight the Tory imperialists desire him to undertake. In that respect the Canadian elections will not be without effect upon the whole scheme of British imperialism, and the British protectionists may have to wait before bringing their scheme forward as an issue of practical politics. TRADE WITH PORTO RICO, ERSONS who take the trouble to recall the p carly days of the campaign will remember that ! one of the points of the Bryanite attack upon | the administration is the Porto Rican tariff. That e of the fight was abandoned early, but it is still ciently interesting to make it worth while noting | that the operation of that tariff has been beneficial to trade, and that the act, within the extent of its scope, has been as successful as any other measure enacted | by the present Congress. The Porto Rican tariff went into effect May 1, and | the record of the first five months of its operation has | just been made public by the Treasury Bureau of Stat- | 1st1cs. | ports from the island in that time amount to $3.316.- | 334, against $1,160,128 in the corresponding months of | 1807, or practically three times as much in the five | months of 1000 as in the torresponding five months | of 1897. The exports to the island in the five months of 1900 are $2,807,909, against $717,744 in the corre- sponding months of 1806, arid $768,802 in the corre- sponding months of 1897, or practically four times as much in 1900 as in 1806 or 1897. In considering the significance of these statistics it is to be borne in mind it was generally believed the ‘;.shr)wiug of trade for the first year under the tarift would be small by reason of the hurricane of last year, which proved so damaging to the chief irfus- tries of the island. The losses occasioned by the storm, it was thought, would leave the Porto Ricans | little to sell and consequently too poor to buy much. The Bureau of Statistics has published a table show- | | ing the trade between Porto Rico and | States during May, June, July, August and Septem- | ly, and the | | total for each period, and thus enables a comparison | the ber of 1806, 1807, 1809 and 1900, respec | by months and by the entire period both with 1899, | the island show an increase of 104 per cent over 1899 | axon model and made the best adapta- | We took the same model and adapted | ed a system more favorable to the | Like the people of the United States and | when the island was under the American flag but sub- ject to the general customs laws of the United States, and with 1806 and 1897, when it was Spanish terri- | Every month since the enactment of the new shows a marked increase over 1899 and a still greater increase as compared with 1807 and 1895; tory. law while the total imports from the island in the five | months of 1900 show an increase of 62 per cent over 1809 and 172 per cent over 1897, and the exports to and 265 per cent over 1807. Tariff acts, like all other fiscal measures. are to be judged by their results, and when so judged the Porto Rican tariff fully sustains the reputation of the Re- publican party for constructive statesmanship. The Rryanites were foolish in making even an attempt to ‘ obtain judgment against the administration upon that | act, and displayed more wisdom than usual with them : dropping the issue. The tariff is working well, and since such good results in the way of increased t-ade have been effected in the first five months in spite of the drawbacks of the great hurricane, it is reasonable to expect in the near future a showing that will be gratifying in every respect BREAD MAKING EXTREORDINARY. | R. HARVEY W. WILEY, chief chemist of the Department of Agriculture, having been asked by the editor of the Forum to contribute to that review an article on some interesting featurs | of the Paris Exposition, chose bread making for his | subject, and the public is to be congratulated on the | choice, for Dr. Wiley furnishes in his paper good rea- sons for believing the long desire for sweet, nutritious, wholesome bread is about to be realized. | Dr. Wiley says: “Among all the exhibits of bread | and bread making at the Paris Exposition the one which interested me most a system of milling 1 baking combined. This system has a double pur- | pose—(1) to make the flour more palatable and more rutritious than that made by the ordinary roller mill; (2) to make it immediately before baking, so as to secure for the loaf a flour which is absolutely fresh. It is well known that all food substances when groun- to a fine powder have a tendency to become oxidized. As is the case with coffee, which is best when freshly roasted and freshly ground, so it is with cereal flour, which is never so aromatic, so palatable or so nu- tritious as at the moment when it is first made.” The exhibits for the new system included a large plant for 'supplying bread to a populous community, another for use in a small village, a third intended for | use on a farm, the mill being driven by hand much as a coffee-mill is run; and, finally, an exhibit of a mill on wheels, to be drawn by horses or by automobile, for the purpose of supplying an army with fresh bread while on the march. The use of bread made by the new system is said to have spread rapidly in Paris. Dr. Wiley says: “At first the prejudice of the consumer for the white loaf has to be overcome, inasmuch as bread made from the flour of the new system, while not dark in color, has quite a yellowish tint, which at once distinguishes it from ordinary bread. When one eats this bread, however, it is found to be so palatable, so nutritious | and so aromatic that no other kind is desired.” It is added: “Chemical analyses show that the flour made by the system has more than twice as much phosphatic material "as that made by the ordinary | roller process.” | The promise contained in the new system does not imply that every home will have good bread, for if Dr. Wiley be correct we can never have that <o long as household cooks are permitted to bake bread. He | says: “The domestic making of bread is to be de- | plored. Bread making is as much an art as tailoring, and we have as much right to bread made by experts as we have to coats and gowns fashioned by tailors. In fact, a ready-made suit keeps you warm, even if its fit is.not faultless, but bread badly made has not a leg on which to stand. An earnest effort should be | made to relegate domestic bread making to the past and to institute in every community bakeries under i cnmp(ttent control offering the best bread at the low- | est price.” W :’ The local traffic in human Japzne.{e chattels seems to have met with a serious reverse in the resignation of one of the employes of the Immigration Burean. The fault appears to have rested with several interest- ing persons who evaded the usual payment for slaves. — Now that the election is over the sturdy devotees of Phelanism may be expected to reopen their canting campaign for the observance of civil service.
