colonial produce needed at home. AS the demand
for these is now, as it has been for years, Inferior

carving them is great, and this again diminishes
the cost. so that the Russian consumer gets he
REQUISITES comparatively cheap, and that at the e.
pense of the British. Nay, more; as soon as the
blockade is Withdrawn, English merchants send
whatever Russia needs, even lead sulphur, and
very likely saltpetre, and arms from Brming-
ham, to be paid for in Russian products. 1t results
from this that according to the last accounts those
means for prOtracting the war, Notwithstanding
their tremendous consumption, are not much above
ordinary prices in the Russian market
Such results are CALLING to the last degree to
England. and indie ire-thither must we look for
the fierce Anglican pertinacity in the war. En
olsh naval commanders during the last year de-
stroyed not the property of the Car or his
Government, not arsenals and military stores; but
private possessions, trade and enterprise They
burned or DESTROYED on the shores of the
Baltic and the AzOA the tools of poor fish,
emen. the craft of bOatmen, and the for
tunes of the inhabitants. The Cossacks OF
the Don as well as the peaceful and hardy Firms,
have thus been ravaged. On them fell the furis
of the enemy and not on the armed ports
The Firms accordingly consider the English as their
deadly enemies and are immeasurably exasperated.
The people there demand arms from the Govern
ment, and the arming proceeds, the Car not being
the least alarmed by the feeble agitation of past
Finnish loyalty to Sweden If the Allies makes
descent on Finland, even under the cover OF a
Swedish alliance, they are likely to find a warm
reception, whether from the natives or the
Russians.
And not only Russia, but other countries, pros
perous by virtue of Protection are now winning
what England loses by Free-trade and war. Swe-
den for years has assured to her population the
blessing of protected industry, and hence indie
pendence, by building up various manufactures.
Thus Norkoeping is miniature Manchester, pro-
ducing the coarser goods cheaper than in England.
During the war, too, Sweden has secured to her
self large profits in trafiicking between the bel
ligerents for which her geographical position emf
nenty fits her. Very naturally, too, the new de-
fensiye alliance is variousy discussed in the Swe-
dish and Norwegian papers, which does not prove
the unanimous satisfaction of the sober part of the
population, as was fervently predicted.
AS in Sweden, so in Germany, especially Prus-
STA, Protection checks English monopoly. The
Zoll-yeren is the agent in this operation. German
industry grows and begins to rival that of England
in foreign markets. 1t is also worthy of remark
that the moral and material wants Of women and
children are better cared for than in England.
Apart from the law limiting labor to nine or ten
hours, there exists another in Saxony and Bavaria
prohibiting the admission of children into factories
before making their first communion. AS this
takes place between the ages Of twelve and four
teen, all the children are thus required to spend
several years at the public schools before entering
the mills. Protection, likewise, has enabled the
farmers of SaxOny Brandenburg and Silesia to pro-
duce such quantities of beet-rOot sugar to keep

Neutrality, moreover, has thus far enriched Prus-
sian ports at the expense of England. Prussia.
accordingly, must be dragged into the war, If En-
gland can bring that about. England, however,
expects a slight indemnity for these commercial
losses from the new channels cut for her commerce
in the East, whittier it is said she has sent goods
to the amount of eighty millions of dollars.
The COW MIXED by England is this country,
delivered over to her by the quackery Of our So
called statesmen, who never have studied the ques-
ton of Protection. BY this means she is largely
provided with California gold which should remain
at home to stimulate industry and business. Can
not our people learn wisdom as regards Protection
by the examples of Russia, Sweden and Germany
