What that percentage should be is a matter for consideration. In England the broker gets only one-eighth of a per cent, but in an Eastern market that would never pay. Probably those who deal in shares would be content to give one per cent., subject to provisions that in transactions over a certain sum the rate should be a half per cent. only; or alteras tively, the rate might be, fixed at a half per cent, subject to the provision that there should be a minimum rate of perhaps 5 cents a share, or that one per ceat, should be paid where the money involved was less than a certain sum. To arrive at a fair agreement would be easy if only the brokers were to form an exchange, and discuss their proposed scale with a few of their leading customers or with the bank managers.
history of the Old World, and apparently even beyond what American statesmen now consider expedient. President Harrison, and his energetic but somewhat blustering, Chief Secretary Mr. J. G. Blaine, have iberefore conceived a plan whereby the power of the greatest supporter of liberts-the press-shall be considerably weakened. In a word they are muzzling the press as fast and far as possible by underhand and contemptible means such as all true. Republicans must naturally feel thoroughly ashamed of. President Harrison has now added one more to the portentons list of editors whom he has muzzled with important public offices by appointing Charles. E. Fitch, editor of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, a Collector of Internal Revenue. Amongst those prominent journals who have also received important offices are the editors of the New York Tribune, now Minister to France; Cin- cinnati Commercial Gazette, now Minister to Germany Indianapolis Journal, now Consul- General at, London; Philadelphia Press, now Minister to Russia; New York Press, now Superintendentof Census; Wisconsin Press, now Minister to Peru; and a host of others of various shades of political opinion, No previous President has even approached Mr. Harrison in this particular form of misuse of the Federal patronage. This policy, taken together with his cruel and one-sided system of protective tariffs, the miserable Sackville-West incident, in which the Republicans-by stooping to the lowest depths of a perfect mire of per-introduction of the bill proved that the formation-Straits Times. fidious intrigues-succeeded in overthrowing the Democrats; the constant toadying. for the Irish vote, the appointment of the notorious Patrick, Egan to the post of Minister to Chili, bespeak a gravelling spirit of "popularity at any price" which is not very creditable to a nation that so londly claims to be a model af freedom, civiliza tion and true republicanism. By their press policy President Harrison and Mr. Secretary Blaine have virtually silenced, either for useful defence or for criticism, the leading newspapers The British Committee of the National Con. of their party in various parts the country.gress of India held a crowded meeting at Eleusi Not one of the journals whose editor is now Club, Chelsea, last evening, Mr. Marlin Wood, muzzled by the glittering responsibilities of high presided.

He said:- "There is no part of the means placed in the bands of the Executive which might be used with greater effect, for unhallowed purposes, than the control of the public press. The maxici which our ancestors derived from the mother country, that the freedom of the press is the great bulwark of civil and religious liberty, is one of the most precious legacies which they have left us. We have learned, too, from our own as well as the experience of other countries, that golden shackles, by whomsoever or by whatever pretense imposed, aro as fatal to it as the fron bonds of despotism."
It is indisputable that the great bulwark of civil and religious liberty-the press-has so been shackled for the unhallowed purpose of carrying favour with the masses by means ofthe puffs and favourable criticisms of subsidized newspapers. The American public is far from what it used to be if it does not show thorough disapproval of this latest departure from the traditional polley of the Republican party.
