A GREAT PROJECT. One of tbe most important schemes to unite tbe world with iron bauds has recently corue to light iu the Nortbwes*. It is nothing less than a plan n[ some railway magnates of St. Paul. Minneapolis uud Chicago to build a railroad from Victoria, tbe Western terminus of the Canadian Pacific, via Alaska and Bebriug Strait, to northern A»ia, and thence to Pekin and other points in China and Irkutsk and other places iu the Russian Empire. Tbe distance from Victoria to Cape Prince of Wales Is laud at Behrings Strait is only about 1.100 miles. Tbe strait is only twen ly five miles wide, and dotted wito numerous islands. Bridging it pro seuts no insurmountable difflenltic.s and would be easy for the high north tin latitude. One important advantage of this road i* that it will thoroughly devel ope tbe resources of Alaska. That great territory, whose purchase was* the erowDing glory of Mr. Seward’s public life, has been little known; but what haa becu learned of it is ex treiuely favorable. Despite its high latjiii lo, its cl mate is moderated by warm currents in tbe Pacific, flowing northward and extending toBibiing* S: ait. If climatic difficulties are on countered it will be or the Asian rather than on the American side of tbi- rutile. It is not impossible that with the mineral wealth which a rail road will develop© Alaska will rapidly fill up with popululiou, and eventual ly take her place in our great Repub he. Htrctofore most that has been known of Alaska is as a place for seal bunting. It has in this more than repaid what it cost, but the l.er ritory has other and undeveloped re eenrees of far greater importance than this. FIGHT AttAlSST TIE SOffitCT A correspondent asks whether in opinion “the coming presidential » to be a straight fighA he protection and free trade.’ For answer we refer bi» to Presi dent Cleveland's annual message. economic issue will be fully die coseed and the hollowness and folly the protection theory made clear lo many minds. But tbe issue is not an abstract one. We are aot legislating for Utopia. \V e are, aa the President said, confronted by a not a theory. Absolute tra ie is proposed by no one, nor it be. The abolition of such as is thought to tell for mechanics and workmen not now in tbe question. Whst proposed is to give cheaper materi to our industries, so that c ur may thrive; to abolish taxes that make our pro dear, and to remove, as tar possible, barriers that shut us out cheap food, fuel and clothing one hand, and from profitable for markets on the other. Our far increase nearly three times as as their easterners who sre en¬ ir. whst are classed as ‘‘protec industries.” It is designed to apply sound prin in readjusting taxation in so as the existing condition of things permit. Tbe great surplus, our prosperity and liberties, is tbe dominant in the situation with we have to deal. It is great Federal “trust,” and the ot all tbe pernicious trusts. cannot be allowed to continue to Every one admits that such course would be tbeAreight of folly. surplus must be reduced, and further accumulation prevented some way. Butin what way? It not do to continue to collect sums, either to hoard or to The revenues must be reduced. are two \vt)S of reducing One is by raising the making them so high that would cease. But that would kill our seaport trade, punish every in the country, the robberies of ihe “trusts,’ paralyze many industries—-the eu and site! industries, for to which certain foreign are essential. Clearly the parade of revenue reduction by import taxes is not to be thought Only one course can bt» taken, lira: is to reduce the taxes in^ way pointed out in the messsage. That is what should done, and it will be done if the oeratscan do it, and upon that they will go before the country. approval or disapproval of that will constitute the issue of the cal campaign. We.have not alluded to the nal taxes iu this reply, because one knows that a!! talk about ing the whisky tax is mere and whatever change may be about the tax on tobacco will materially alter the genera! issue the presidential contest.
