FRENCH WIT on THE FREE TRADE

Ercnch minister replied in language ns
comnac, as i: is comprehensive exhaust
inc the whole subject in practical point
Of view, and applying as faithfully to
America as to France. This is what he
said:
IF England, in the progressive state
Of her Industry, admits foreign compct''
ton mere extensively than formerly,
such policy is in conformity with her
we'll. understood interest; but it is the
wcil.undcrs,ood interest Of France now

which the development is yet imperfect,
The protection which is still indiSpensa'
Llc for them. When the time shall ar
rive that foreign competition shall DC
useful for French industry, Franco will
no, fail to avail herself Of the present
example Of England.'
Since this was written, France has
reached such stage Of progress and
perfection in her industry as to make
!, for her interest, us for Eusland's, to
pa. in practice the general principles Of
international free trade. Amerlca s time
will also come in due season, ifa reason

on free trade, in its highest and broadcast

having larger variety OF climate and in
tcrc$t ard production, than any other
on the face Of the globe
Let tho free trade theorists broaden
their vision, aud he less logmn,ic and
