i was by system of protection so rigor-
Gus as TO be prohibitive and tyrannical, that
England was enabled TO build up her native
industries and manufactures to such an ex-
tent as to be able to supply the markets of
the world. Having accomplished this, she be-
came propagandist of free-trade, and seeks
by all means at her command to overthrow
protection in this country, and thereby to
overwhelm and destroy our manufacturing
interests, so that she may be able to find a
market for her surplus productions, without
being compelled to pay therefor.
Protection began in England about 700
years ago, during the reign of King Henry
II. He went so far as to order that any
cloth found in his domain containing any
mixture of Spanish WOOL should be burned.
There were but few manufactures of wooden
goods in England at that time, and no
skilled workmen, and strenuous efforts were
made to induce foreign weavers to settle in
the kingdom.
King Edward l, to prevent the exporta-
tion of native woods for manufacture abroad,
imposed an export duty equivalent to about
20 cents per pound. After this, still more
stringent laws were enacted and men found
guilty of exporting unmanufactured wool,
were burned in the hand, and some were
even executed on the galIows. In 1887 il
was decreed that Englishmen should wear
nothing but cloths of English manufacture.
This policy of protecting not only her wool
interests, but all her other manufactures
was continued until comparatively recent
date. IS result of this 700 years of pro-
lection, and fostering her industries Eng.
land found herself without a competitor
IN the wide world. Wherever her proscrip-
tive regulations could not accomplish the de
sired result, she made war for the purpose OF
crushing q rival in trade. She left no avail
able means untried to build up her own
manufactures, and break down those of
other nations, and having succeeded by pro.
lection IN accomplishing the former, she
resorts 10 free trade propagandism hoping
for success iY the latter result. 1t is for
this, and this only that England advocates
free trade doctrines, that Golden Clubs are
formed, and British gold expended in
America, to assist in building up an anti-pro-
lection sentiment in this nation.
Her only object is TO break down and
ruin our home industries at all hazards, and
then having us at her mercy TO crafty her
selfish greed, and reimburse herself for
moneys expended by compelling us TO buy
her goods at her own prices, and paying for
our raw materials no greater sum than her
own interests shall dictate.

The approaching fall elections, especially
in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Iowa, are fraught
with more than ordinary degree of interest
to the people of this country, as their result
will have most important bearing upon the
presidential contest of 1884. The prospect
of republican success in each of these states
is very hattering. In Pennsylvania the APP
parently irreconcilable differences that ex-
listed in the ranks of the republicans at the
last election have been amicably adjusted
and appearances indicate that solid vote
will be polled for the candidates which have
been placed in nomination. Concessions
have been made.on both sides and it is al
together likely that the ticket will be elected
by handsome majority.
In Ohio the democrats have, as usual, sue
ceeded in placing themselves on the wrong
side of the question of law, order and moral
ity. Hoping and expecting that the Scott
law would be blotted out of existence by the
supreme court, they placed themselves
squarely on the record in opposition to the
principle of taxation of the liquor traffic,
and the decision of the court that il was con-
stitutional fell upon them with chilling effect
and set them to trembling in their boots.
And then the nomination of Hoadley, n
renegade republican, failed to awaken any
enthusiasm in the breasts of the rock-ribbed
bourbons of the state, and he will receive, at
best, but lukewarm support from large
portion of his party.
The men who have always taken their
democracy-as they do their whisky
straight, fail to enthuse over the nomination
of man like Hoadley, who politically has
been all things to all men. It is en-
tirely within the bounds of probability,
that Mr.. Foraker will be elected governor of
Ohio, by from 10000 to 10000 majority.
In Iowa the situation is complicated by
the prohibition question, and the supreme
court of that state having taken the anoma-
lous position that a clause of the constitution
is itself unconstitutional, the republicans who
have endorsed the principle of prohibitory
amendment, are taken somewhat at disad-
vantage, and are likely to lose some votes,
but it is not likely that the opposition, which
is divided between greenbackism on the one
hand, and bourbonism on the other, will be
able to overcome the great republican ma
jority that has heretofore existed in that
state. All three of these states are normally
republican, and on full vote uncomplicated
by local dissensions, may yet be safely re-
lied upon to give substantial majorities in
favor of the republican party. While it
cannot be truthfully said that the contest of
"a depends upon the result, yet substan-
tial republican victory in these states would 60
long way towards insuring the choice of
a repu blican president and congress at the
next election. On the other hand, a demo-
cratic victory in all, or in either one of these
states would be of great advantage to that
party and corresponding injury to the
cause of republicanism, and render the re-
suit of the approaching presidential contest
a matter of grave doubt and great uncer-
tainty.

AnExpe,imen, in Female sunr.v,

Woman suffrage has been cstabllshtd in
Wyoming Territory since 1869. Women
there not only have the right TO vote, but
they are eligible to office, and are liable to
jury duty. At first they were frequently
summoned on juries and held various offices,
among others, that of justice of the peuce.
But for long time they have neither sought
nor obtained office they have not appeared
in the Jury box. Some Of them still vote and
canvass for votes for their favorte candi-
dates, but this the only use they make of
their political rights. Women as politicians,
therefore, do not seem to be
very Influential in Wyoming but
been demanded fer their sisters else
where with the assurance that il they
were conceded the influence of women in
politics would be salutary, refining and ele-
waiting. If that is the natural effect of wo-
man suffrage some traces of 1t ought to be
discovered in Wyoming after fourteen years
| trial. Society and politics, laws and institu-
| tons, ought to be at least a little more pure,
honest and humane than elsewhere, or at any
rate not distinctly worse than in other terri
tories of like population and enjoying like
opportunities. The facts, if an observer who

The Next Governor.
From ths Rutland Herald J

The Montpelier Udtchman of this week
has an article on the next governor, naming
all the possible candidates, illustrious or OBJ
scure, on both sides of the mountain line.
OF some of the candidates named it may be
safely said that they are likely to die before
birth, or at least be sill-born. We heartily
welcome the Ipdtchman's sense of the fitness
of things which impclled it to place at the
head of its list Frederick Billings OF Wood
stock. The Waterman, in naming him
voices, We believe, the sentiment of large
number of voters in this State who would
be glad to see in the govrnor's chair man
of the superior gifts Of mind and graces OF
Billings. Such a man would recall
the 'flrst-besl" in the roll of Yer.
mont's governors. If there be any
'rings" or factions within the Repub.
publican party, Mr.. Billings is outside o
them and he always las been outside Of
them. OF his abilities in the business
world, it is sufficient to say that as the man
at whose touch, to use Webstcr's fine figure,

ific started to its feet Lis name is honor
ably known TO The whole ration; as man OF
affairs, he is among the first in the country,
and he has gift of public speech at once
graceful in expression aud electric in effect,
that is possessed by no man in Nermontto ar
equal degree.
We hope the Wdtchman's naming Mr.. Bill
lings will end in his nomination by acclama
ton. lie is one of the sons OF Vermont, who
went out of it poor and returned to it witt
wealth. honestly aud honDrably won which
he has dispensed generously in aid of the ed
vocational institutions and worthy public en-
tcrprscs Of Vermont. An independent, up
right, able man of exceptional talents foI
public life, Mr.. Billings would be a governor
IN line with the best traditions Of Vermont
craftsmanship. Mr.. Billings is rich mar
who uses his wealth uprightIy and wisely fol
