496 L July 31:7/3 In a letter to the editor, "D" says: The canal collector's office (or shed furnished by the city of Cleveland for the purpose of collecting tolls and transacting other business) was broken open by someone who must have been idiotic to expect to find treasure in such an out of the way place. They cracked open the collector's safe, the contents of which consisted of less than $.50. If the robber who got all this money will call at the collector's office, he can have the burglar tools which were left behind, as the collector can find no use for them.

CABLES

[ocr errors]

508 L Jan. 20; ed: 4/1 - There is a bill in Congress asking leave to lay and operate a new Atlantic cable, to be worked under the Sawyer patents. The rates proposed are 50 cents a word for personal and business messages and half that rate for press dispatches. This is very good. Congress should give its immediate permission. The Atlantic telegraph now in existence is one of the most soulless, grinding monopolies. The new cable is to be laid by American capitalists who do not ask any congressional subsidy merely permission to land their wire.

509 L Apr. 10; ed: 4/2 - We may soon have another Atlantic cable. There is a report current that a new one will soon be laid, connecting Ireland and New England by way of Newfoundland. The line will be an independent project. There is also a report that capitalists in Europe and this country are ready to put down two cables; one directly connecting France and the United States and the other our Pacific coast and Asia. The estimated cost of the one from France is $6,000,000 while the one between Asia and the Pacific coast would cost $18,000,000. It is hoped these gentlemen will be allowed to do this work as it would tend to destroy the present monopoly. (4)

510 L May 2; ed: 4/4 Should the contemplated submarine cable from California to Nippon and Tartary and the new commercial treaty become an accomplished fact, the Chinese empire and the beautiful Japanese islands will be brought, as it were, to our doors. The day will come when the Yankee will take in hand the cultivation of tea in his native climate. "The world turns faster each succeeding day, and sluggards are constantly dropping to the rear but the sluggards do not live in the United States."

511 L June 23; ed: 4/1 The monopoly which the Anglo-American Telegraph co. has for years enjoyed, that of landing cables on the shores of Newfoundland, has been rendered void by an act of the Canadian parliament. In view of the fact that this company has been extremely immodest regarding its rates, the act is welcomed as the harbinger of a better day for those who employ the mediums of the submarine cable as a means of conveying information.

CANADA

[ocr errors]

513 L Feb. 8; ed: 4/3 It will not be surprising if a teapot revolution in the province of Columbia, Canada, should be the outcome of the suggested annexation of the Queen's dominions to the United States and the addition of another star to the flag. Indication is, that British Columbians are tired of an independence which affords them no facilities. It has 40,000 of whom half are Indians. As long as the Canadian Pacific railroad was in prospect, Columbia looked forward to the time when Victoria City should be the western terminus of a transcontinental railway. The Canadian Credit Mobilier was exposed, and the $15,000,000 which England promised to guarantee the bonds was withdrawn. The rebellious party is strong and determined, and the province may at any time come knocking at the gates of Uncle Sam for admission. There is not enough at issue to be worth mak(12)

ing any great fuss about.

514 - L Mar. 6; ed: 4/2 - Free trade theorists have put a nut to crack in the strong growth of protective sentiments in the Dominion. A resolution in favor of an increased tariff to protect Canadian manufacturers against British and American competition was adopted without opposition. There is a practical sermon in the circumstance that the free traders will find difficulty in getting around. The Canadians have compared tariff systems of the mother country and the United States and have decided in favor of the United States. (7)

515 L Apr. 13; ed: 4/1 - The change of sentiment in the Dominion on the tariff question has already been noted. The Canadian parliament, in recognition of it, is about to pass a high tariff schedule. "The free traders should look after the Canadians."

516 L June 25; ed: 4/4 - The British American states are beginning to realize the strength that lies in union. Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island have determined to attempt a new union which shall abolish numerous offices, expenses, and multifarious political machinery. The people are universally in favor of this or any other scheme which will cut down the number of parasites and unnecessary officials.

"The tendency of this is to abolish the numerous petty governments which are a scourge to Canada, kept up it is not too harsh to say, to gratify the flunkeys of the crown.

517 L Aug. 7; ed: 4/3 - "The Romish clergy of Canada have become so arrogant in their assumption of power superior to that of the civil authorities that a direct conflict seems imminent. The present dispute arose when they refused a man who belonged to a literary society they had condemned, a Christian burial. The matter was fought through many courts until a Christian burial was granted after four years of delay. This is a test case and a great victory for the liberal party. The liberal party is the strong, active power which is tripping the feet of the priests at every step and its adherents are also semi-Republican at heart the anti-monarchial, anti-Catholic citizens of the United States will give them the warmest sympathy and encouragement in their efforts."
