THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW. =

The North American Review for
March presents a striking array of
articles, every one of which pos
sesses the characteristic of comtem-
poraneous interest. First we have
contribution from Senator George F.
Edmunds, on "The Conduct of the
Guiteau trial." Ex-Minister Edward
T. Noyes communicates the results
of his observations of political affairs
in France, under the title, ''The
Progress of the French Republic.
In Trial by jury" Judge Edward
A. Thomas describes the social con-
ditions under which our jury system
had it's origin, and notes it's defects
in view of the altered relations of
modern life. Mr.. John Fiske makes
an able and ingenious analysis of
that great intellectual movement, the
Reformation, educing therefrom the
''True Lesson of Professionalism.
In Law for the Indians" the Rev.
William Justin Harsha endeavors to
demonstrate that the one rational
and effectual cure for our Indian
troubles is to extend the jurisdiction
Of the civil and Criminal Courts over
all the social relations of the red
man. Prof. A. B. Palmer writes on
the "Fallacies of Homeopathy"
Finally, the Hon. Neal Dow con-
tributes an article on the Results of
Prohibitory Legislation, demonstra-
ting the success of the efforts to
suppress the liquor traffic in Maine.

TRIAL BY JURY.

There is a growing sentiment in
this country that the system of trial
by jury has outlived it's usefulness.
1t was good thing in England five
hundred years ago, but that it is the
best way to secure justice between
man and man, CT between the State
and the citizen in the last quarter
of the nineteenth century, is
exceedingly questionable. Every
day experience, and intelligent OBJ
seryation on the part of those who
pay attention to the proceedings of
our courts, leads inevitably to the
conclusion that the idea of justice
being secured only by jury trials is
a delusion and humbug. We pres
dict that the time is not far off when
there will be few persons to advocated
continuance of the system, and these
will be confined to old fogies, who
never go forward except in
the rats a century old,
and that class of lawyers whose
strength lies in their ability to sway
men through their emotions, pas
sions and prejudices.
One objection to the jury system
is that it is expensive Justice would
be as fully subserved, if, instead of
requiring grand jury to present or
indict an offender against the law,
encouragement should simply file
an information specifying the details
of the offense. In nine out of ten
OF the important cases now brought
IN our Criminal Courts, the action of
the grand jury is purely formal and
under the direction of the attorney
general. He draws the Indictment
after knowing what the evidence
will be, and the grand jury adopts it
as their own, after hearing the evil
dence already in the possession of
the attorney general.
And when the case is tried. the
jury, if it is composed of intelligent
men, returns such verdict as is in
dicated 10y the charge of the court,
and if it is otherwise, it is about as
uncertain, and about as compatible
with the principles of justice as toss
ing a copper and guessing ''heads or
tails" And the experience of the
centuries teaches us, that the SOL
emnity and binding force of an
oath administered to jurors does
not release men from prejudice. The
history of courts of justice in this
country will furnish scores and hun.
dreds of instances where the YER
diets of juries have been a travesty
and an outrage upon justice. Muir
derers have escaped the gallows, and
men and corporations have been
mulcted in large sums for damages
contrary to all justice or have escaped
from the payment of damages where
they rlghteously merited severe pun
ishment. In some parts of the coun
try now, a party to a suit who has
plenty of money may secure certain
release or escape judgment indef
nitely. There are not wanting cor
rupt men, who from mercenary con
siderations will render verdict on,
way or another. Much may be sale
against the jury system and some
thing in it's favor, but we are con
strained to believe that it has Ions
since outlived its day of usefulness
and that the interests of justice d.
not demand it's continuance.

who do not regard the loss of credi
as matter of any consequence. Ii

FREE TRADE DEFENDED

tically Annex Canada,

tically Annex Canada.
In his lecture before the Revenue Reform
club in Brooklyn upon "Free Trade and
Free Men, Andrew Mclean, the manag.
ing editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, said that
commercial jealousy, which was one of the
most consulcous causes ofwar, was founded
upon the very ignorant but the very natural
notion that whatever is gained by one
country must be lost to another.
obviously" he continued, with free
trade established, the motive for
those iightings would disappear,
With this principle introduced,
conquest would be seen to involve
no gains, and the utmost prosperity of
neighboring powers no losses. What could
conquest give but access to the resources of
the dominion subjected Free trade offers
this without the shedding of drop of
bloed, 1t is sometimes spoken of as the
manifest destiny of the United States to alb
sorb Canada. What would be gained let
our protectionist friends tell us, that il not

protective tariff If Canada were annexed
tomorrow, she would stand to us indus.
trially as any of the neighboring states do
and this relation she would bear at once If
congress would order the Chinese wall of
restriction to be thrown down.
How labor suffers from the misappre-
hension of these principles, and the theory
that nations are enemies rather than essen
sally inter.dependent and enrichers
of each otLer, may be judged from the
magnitude of the worlds military prepare
tions.
Add to the armies and navies the vast
body of custom house employees, every
one of whom consumes but produces moth
ing; every one of whom is a burden upon
productive industry. and II is not too much
to say that the men in Europe and America
engaged in occupations that augment the
wealth of the world are deprived of billion
and halt ofdollars per annum which would
otherwise be divided between wages and
capital. This, surely, is remarkable spe.
cies of protection. The one key that opens
the treasure.house Of the world is the kew
of intelligent selfinterest. Produce what
other men want, and they will gladly ey.
change for it articles to your liking. lIu.
