Protection or Free Trade.

WASHINGTON, January 18th. - Frank
Hurd, free trade Congressman from Ohio,
thinks the attitude of the protectionists in
Congress just now presents some ridiculous
features. In an interview this morning he
said: Here we see, for instance, protec-
tionis.s in lhs House and Senate clsmorlng
for retalatoIY measures against Germany,
because that country has sesn fit to adops the
American system of protection for its hog
products, in order TO give the common farm
ers and stock-raisers better prices fer their
products than they could obtain if brought
into competition with the pauper hogs Of the
United States. On the other hand, here is
Mexico anxious TO take all the raw material
and manufactured articles that we send them.
the only stipulation being that we shall not
levy any duty upon Mexican raw materials
or manufactures. Almost the only manu-
fsctured article Mexico can send US is sugar.
The protectionists are now using every ex-
er,ion TO defeat the reciprocity treaty, upon
the ground that the Introduction Of Mexican
free sugar will destroy the production of
American sugar. What spectacle the
United States must present to an in
telligent foreigner! l can imagine such
person contemplating the attitude of
the protectienists in Congress and wonder
ing what would possibly satisfy the
American people. If foreign countries adopt
the American system of protection, ststss-
men in Congress ele Indignant and cali for
retsliatoly measures. If this country asks
for reciprocity. for mutu4l free trsde, upon 8
basis which will hep both couotTies tae pro,
tee .ionists are equally Indignant on the sane
rouod that it would destroy our indus ries.'

HENDRICKS, THE AvENGER!

Il was ~ fortunate stroke of the Demo.
cracy that placed HHNDRICKs on thc
Presidential ticket. Daily and hourly is
this truth becoming more apparent. 1t
begins toio0h as fine were going tot throw
the Republican party upon the defensive
mt the very incipcncy OF the campaign.
1 The s,edgc- hammer blows that he has
dealt within the past few days are re-
sounding and ringing through the cOun-
try a delightful Democratic music, and
will continue 50 to do through the entire
campaign. The rotten administration
of the Navy department., placed under
an electric light mt the very initial rati-
ication in Indiana of the Democratic
nominations, is the first blood for the
Democracy, and HENDRICHs' speech tie
first great document OF the campaign.
His reply 10 CHANDLER has nailed
another black tag b the pub
lie character of the Secretary
Of The Sayy and placed that gentleman
in Il more uncuviab,e light than his
Department even.
In !to0 when The question of r2nonmi-
mating the old ticket was mootcd, the
declination Of Mr.. IiENDRICKs to again
permit his name II be used for the
second place and his exhibition of What
many regarded as pctulant rarity, rem
dcred him unpopular within the party
TO n great cNicnt, but his conduct with
in the past year has more than regainod
for him the love and cs.eem of the
Democratic parry of the United Statcs.
The gallant manner, the enthusiasm,
the brilliancy with which he has thrown
himself into the work OF the II )ur, have
had the effect, not only OF reviviGg all
the old interest and admira. ion o. The
country in his own great behalf, but
also the invinti3!e enthusiasm, of the
Democratic party as such, that won so
gloriously the day in 1876.
But there is another view of this sue
of the Navy department and its Secre-
tary by Mr.. HENDRICKS that cannot but
be peculiarly gratifying to all Demo-
Gratis, and in fact all lovers of common
or retributive justice, whoever or
wherever they may be. 1t was CHAND-
LER who, more than any other man, was
the chief cause of the exclusion of HEN
BRICKS from the Nice-President's
chair in 1915. 1t was CHANDLER who
robbed the great Indiana statesman of
his hard but justly earned honors. 1t
was CHANDLER who stood first in the
perpetrution of the national crime of
lS7G-not ZACH. CHANDLER, but WIN. f..
CHANDLER, Secretary ofthe Navy. Now
il il HENDRICKS who has unearthed a
criminal collision by CHANDLER in n
great steal, this time steal about
which there are no differences of Opin-
ion. HENDRIcKs is the political Nathan
who now eXclaiins, "thou art the
man."
The avenger has been turned loose at
last, and in the fitting person. The
right man with the kcencst sense and
tho fullest knowledge of the wrong has
been put forth to appeal to the sober
sense and common justice of the people
for its righting, and it may be confident
ly predicted that the fire OF his eloquence
and the zeal of his resentment will raise
such a storm of enthusiasm in his own
and CLEvELAND's behalf, that the coun-
try will witness in November peacea-
bic but complete revolution.
