Protection indicated

The advocates OF free trade attempt to &C
count for the steady rise in the prosperity of
this country with their usual contempt for
the laws of progress. They point to the in
flux of gold, and declare it to be the effect OF
short harvests abroad, and therefore merely
temporary. The question they are requested
to consider is, how would it be with us if we
duction in excess of home demands, short
harvests abroad would be felt here only in
rise in the price of breadstuffs. 1t so hap
pens that we have a great deal more grain
than is required to supply the home demand
But how came we to have 1t? Will it be pre-
tended that the farmers of tn is country fore
saw the failure of the crops in Europe, and
thus increased their average? That will not
be seriously affirmed by anybody. There was
no reason why failure of crops abroad
should have been presumed, and the proba-
BILE failure of the harvest elsewhere could not
have been assumed until long after every acre
of wheat was planted on this side of the
water.
The fact remains that the foreign demand
for our wheat is heavy and cons tant. It is
also a fact that we have the excess to supply
that demand, and that we are supplying it.
But how we became able to supply it is a
question that requires an answer. The an
swer is that by judicious fostering of home
enterprise the country is dotted over. its
breadth with centres of trade and centres of
industry, each of which is local market for
the products Of the farm. The country owes
these convenient local markets to the policy
of protection. Around every one of them
farm production is constantly increasing.
They constitute the inducement to produce
more anu more every year, and in this way
we have an excess of wheat and other pro-
ducts, which excess we are able to export
wherever the demand may be.
There can be no reasonable doubt of the
truth of this view OF what is transpiring all
around us. 1t is the probable local demand
to which the farmer refers when he plants
his crops, and any policy that leads the far
mer to expect a growing. .demand influences

for an instant supposes that were there no
great industrial centres in the west, as we
know them to-day, we should be able to re-
spond to the demand OF Europe for our
wheat. Were there buta single industry in
the west, and that agriculture, there would
be no inducement to plant beyond very
limited probable demand, We owe our
great centres of population and manufac-
lures to protection, and to their existence our
excess Of grain is due, not this year, but ev-
cry year. Thus we build cities, establish
home markets and feed the world.-North

i AN IMPORTANT CAsE.-The Washington
correspondent Of thh Baltimore Sun Of the
25th says: in one OF the Virginia lniscegena-
ton cases decided short time since at Hem
rico Court House, Va, and affirmed by the
Court OF Appeals, a writ Of error was issued
to- day from the Supreme Court OF the Uni
ted States. The application is made in the
name of John E. Tnsley, who obtained, Au-
gust ~, 1877, a licence from CLERK Meigs, of
the Supreme Court of the District OF Colum-
bia, authorizing any clergyman to unite In
matrimony John E. Tinsley and Mary F.
Barnes, both OF Henrico County, Va, and un-
der this licence the negro husband was mar
ried to the white wife on the Goth Of August.
1877, at the Fifth Baptist Church here, by
Rev. j. Fl. Brooks, colored. The couple
went back to Virginia, was arrested, eonvict-
ed of contracting marriage contrary to the
law of the State and sentenced to the peni-
tentiary.-It is this decision which the writ
OF error is designed to review. The writ is
made returnable in October next, but mo-

Treasure-TrOve in London Cabs.

1t seems that IN average of 100 arti-
cles are received every day from cabmen
whose honesty is sufficiently active to
induce them to comply with that stipu-
lation in their license which requires
them to convey to the nearest police
station any stray goods or chattels
found in their vehicles. Not that vir-
tue is left to be altogether its own re-
ward; for, if the property be claimed,
the owner has to pay 2s. 3d., or 3s. in
the pound, which is handed over to the
law-abiding coachman; and, if no salts
factory application be made within the
three months, cabby becomes the legiti-
mate possessor of the treasure troye. -
1t is said that the men, as rule, prefer
to receive the reward rather than the
article itself. And certainly when. it
came to be the fourth umbrella or walk
ing-stick, or the third pair OF spectacles,
a smart young cabman might be ex-
cused for murmuring at the monotony
of chance. But When it is case Of
e500 in bank-notes, 9600 worth OF
watches, 47G American gold eagles. or
$4,000 in valuable securities, the
requisite three months must seem to be
q very long time to wait for a careless
owner to come and put in an appear
ance. If the value of the property ex.
ceed E10 the reward takes the shape OF
lump sum fixed by the Commissioner
of Police, in accordance With the par
ticular circumstances of. the case, and
in few instances ranging as high as
9l00. Within the last twelve mouths

have received amounts in this Way OF

The Paris Petit Journal gives an in
teresting account of the progress of
French savings, which shows what
wonderfully thrifty as well as wealthy
country France is. The deposits of
the seventeen years before the wal
showed q very marked increase in tho
material prosperity of the country,
their annual progression being about
10000, 900 francs, or $6,000,0 600. After
the war the deposits fell suddenly from
720, 600 francs to $4,000, 600 francs
in 1872; then they began to rise grad.
ually to 535, ,O00, 600 francs in 1873, and
to 573, ,O00.00 francs in 1874. At this
date successful efforts were made to
propagate the system of savings banks,
and the deposits rose to 0,0O0. 900
francs in 1876, to 769, ,000, 900 francs in
1876, to 863, ,OO0, 900 francs in 1877, and
to 1910, ,O00, 900 francs in 1873. Thus,
in the space of four years, the deposits
augmented 437, ,OOO. 900 francs. No de-
posit 10 allowed to exceed 1000 francs {;
when this sum il exceeded the savings
bank purchases rentes, which it deliy-
eu to the depoitor.
