TIE EFFECTS or PROTECTION UPON
CONuERCK

COMMERCR
The theory of free trade owes what success
it commands in this country to the plausibility
of its fundamental propositions as they are
addressed by its oracles to the easy apprehen-
sion Of the LATEST and least informed thinkers.
They require very little thinking and no re-
search ut ALL When they are fairly caught in
the pinch of experience, good deal of inge-
nuity is required for their extTication, but the
governing policy of the doctrine is aggressive
and it instinctively shuns the defensive, Plat
itudes that sound like philosophy are its staples
in argument. One Of its foundation principles
is thus phrased by j. r. McCulloch lin his ar
gument against all interference with foreign
commerce Those who win not buy need
mot expect to sell and conversely, it is inn
possible to export without making CORE
spending Importation" OF course, so broad
a generalization as this commands ready ac-
ceptance, and, in the judgment of the unre-
flecting, may conclude the whole argument as
it stands between the Protectionists and Free
Traders of the United States. But TO cover
the ground of this dispute, the aphorism ought
to state definitely that, unless we buy
foreign manufactures, we cannot sell our
surplus products abroad. In this form,
it would puzzle the disciples it would
demand little inquiry, little reflection, and
carry no sort of conclusiyeness with it. "lf
"you don't buy, you can't sell,n catches the
trader who thinks only of the existing form
and substance OF foreign exchanges and the
farmer who is accustomed to look for de-
mand for his productions from manufacturing
countries, especially or mainly; and they are
alike beguiled by it. But put the question
fairly to them, "You must buy foreign iron,
"cutlery, cloth, calico, and silks, or yos cannot
"sell provisions or prosper IN the carrying
"trade" and they might stop long enough to
ask why, which would put the proposition
upon its defense, and raise an argument instead
of an unqucstioning admission.
We propose to offer some Of the facts of COM
mercial history which would have to be con-
sidered in such discussion. a., ..I-..-
First, England does not buy foreign manu-
factures; yet she does sell her commodi-
ties That she does sell and buy at rapidly
increasing rate, Notwithstanding her exclusion
Of foreign manufactures, is apparent from the
following statement, taken from her official
reports
In the year 1854 her total imports (exclusiye OF
gold and silver coin and buon) amounted 10

Mr. William NJ. Colby, an officer of the
Freedmens. Bureau, has compiled an instruct
i've table of the voting population of Arkansas,
from which we learn that the whole number OF
registered voters Excluding three counties
from which che returns are not accessible) is
G3,074, of whom 1882 are white, and only
1919 colored; and of the white voters 1896,
or 30 per cent, do not know how to write. In
some counties half the white voters are en-
tirely uneducated. The illiterate voters in Polk
County, for instance (where there is only one
black voter) are 80 per cent of the whole ;
in Searcy County (no black voters), 50 per cent ;
in Van Buren, County (nine black voters, As
per cent; in Newton County (no black voters,
Al per cent and so on. Good Democrats, who
are terrified at the idea of allowing uneducated
colored men to vote, may study the case OF
the uneducated white men of Arkansas with
profit.

We have not always been able to admire the
wisdom of the House Committee OH Foreign
Affairs but their resolution, passed yesterday
seems to us to embody very fairly the sentl-
ment of the country concerning Span ana
Cuba 1t declares the sympathy of the United
States for the people of Spain in their efforts
to establish their liberties, and for the people of
Cuba in their efforts to establish their liberties ;
and authorizes the President to recognize the
independence of Cuba, whenever in his opinion
a republican form of government shall have
been established. 1t will be hard TO find
system of logic that can defend the first OF
these declarations and dispute the other

Mr.. Gladstone's bill for the disestablishment
of the Irish Church is at last proposed, and IN
a speech of which the Cable gives us an out
line, he has explained its elaborate and com
plcated provisions. 1t is liable, of course, to
the Tory criticism that it goes too far, and to
the Reform criticism that it does not go far
enough. Between the two, Mr.. Disraeli's
chances for harassng his great rival are sure
to come soon and often. The late Prime Min
lister acts wisely therefore, in speaking tenn
perately now, and offering no opposition to the
introduction of the bill Beyond his brief re-
marks, we have no hint of the temper in which
the long -exneeted measure is received, save the
very prompt approval of The London Times.

The Yates County Chronicle, by Cleveland and VOL
colt, one Of the soundest and ablest Republican
journals in the interior of our State, is publishing
most interesting "reminiscences of the early settlers
and settlement of Western New-York. The Chronicle
is one of those journals which object to stealing
oven when it Is perpetrated by officials of Its own
party, and has therefore made some enemies, as it
could hardly afford not to have done; but this
only enGears it to tho honest intelligent masses,
who have stood by it from the first they will do
to the last We heartily rejoice in its substantial
prosperity.

The West Side Elevated Railway is an accom-
plished fact. AS most of our readers already
know, the Company has charter, complete
organization, and half mile of road built and
in successful operation. 1t is now proposed to
extend this line as far as Thirtieth-st and
thus, by connection with the Hudson River
Railway. reduce the time between the Battery
and the river towns at least half an hour. The
Importance of this undertaking cannot be over
estimated, as it is the first step, and long one
too, toward solution of the question 80 often
put Of late: How shall we get through
"and out of New-York ~
The first mortgage convertible bonds Of the
West Side Elevated Railway Company are

scriptions, the completion OF this enterprise.

Mr.. Johnson does not fare very well at the
Capitol. but he winds up at the White House
in blaze of glory. All of his friends and a
few of his enemies went up last night to
take parting look at him, and the
result was the nearest approach to gentle
"mens mob" which Washington has enjoyed
for many day. But it was very good
natured; no harm seems to have been intended
toward any body; and the only thing about it
that could have been unpleasant to the retiring
Chief Magistrate was the singing of Old John
Brown under his windows by the crowd, who
could neither get in nor go away.

We regret the final renewal yesterday of
the contract with The Globe prOprietors for
printing the debates of Congress, because it
seems to us deliberate preference of the
highest to the lowest bidder. We have seen
no reason whatever for this waste of a hundred
thousand dollars, and it becomes all the harder
to bear when we remember that it is to go for
printing Congressional speeches, Of which the
press of the country already prints gratuitously
far more than deserve it,

Gas consumers will be pleased in reading
the evidence taken before the Albany Com
mittee, yesterday, to observe that the Presi-
dent of one of our city companies
thought question as to their dividends very
improper, and could not be persuaded to an :

did not arise from fear that the revelation
would damage the credit of the Company on
Wall-st., by showing how it was losing money.

The subject of General Hospital for

Mr.. Editor: Having had very I'M
usual experience the past spring. in rails
ing pigs, will write it out, and you may
Il you see fit. find corner for it in the
Agricultural department Of the Democrat,
that some other pig rais$ may profit by
il, ifthey are threatened with similar ex-
perience: sr
On the morning of May 4, | found a
sow with litter of nine living pigs, and
three not living. They appeared to be
smart pigs, though rather small. On the
morning OF the 9Th, / picked up three OF
the number for dead, though one them
was not dead then, but died that after
noon,-and one more the next day. On
the 10th, another died, and thus they
dropped off, one at time, till the morn
ing of the 10th, when there were but two
left, and one Of these was fast following
the others. Then | thought the matter
serious enough to warrant an experiment,
and took them away from the SOW, and
fed them on cows milk. In about twenty
four hours they learned to eat, and have
eaten heartily ever since; the sick one
recovered, and they are now, nice, plump
healthy pigs, aud this morning, June b.
weigh seyerally % and % pounds.
From the facts, rs have stated them,
! tits evident that the mother'smik poisoned
them; but why. i shall not attempt to de-
eide, but leave that question for some one
more learned in pigoiogy than myself
For further information, will say that
The pigs which died were taken with
trsmons, crawling about quivering like a
lump of jelly, looked very fiabby, refused
10 suck, and would sometimes crawl about
the pen Squeezing piteously, as if they
were suffering extremely. will further
say that the sow was fed sparingly the
first three or four days; appeared to be
healthy. ate well, was not over-fed, and
not richly, the food consisting mainly oil
boiled potatoes and dishwater.
