PROTECTION,s BENEFITS.

How the protective tariff has increased the wealth of the country was we'll set forth in a speech by Congressman Frank Hiscock on the Morrison tariff bill. Mr. Hiscock point ed out that the Republican party came into power and enacted our present protection laws commencing with 1861 and subsequent- ly those laws insured a home market for American goods, and we bought at home; the money ceased to flow out of the country to pay our debts abroad, and in the last eight years of this protective policy we have ae- cumulated $1 ,307, ,229, ,275 of yearly balances in our favor. Europe has contributed this isroaf ,ra11z.aae s.sz... eSss the eight years add the gold and silver pro- duct of the country, amounting to $89, ,0O0,- 900 annually, and which we have not been compelled to export to settle yearly balances in trade against us; the money is in the country; we have had it as people for use. The rate of interest grew lower year by year; the average reduction throughout the country has been 9 per cent of the rate in 1860. This capital sought investment, was employed in manufactures, it organized labor; home competition educated men in new and more economical methods and pro cesses of manufacture; it extended railroads, discovered and developed new coal fields and copper and iron ore beds; caused sharp competition in raw material, and cheapened it all. It was sturdy contest among our people for support, property and the life of their industries, and prices slowly but surely fell, and yet the industries were fairly prosperous. The saving in the cost was what lowered the prices.
 As proof that protection has not helped the rich alone grow richer Mir. Hiscock called attention to the fact that in 1883 the savings bank deposits were $1, ,094, 1856, 787; and these deposits are in States or localities where manufacture is side by side with agriculture. The savings bank deposits of New York are $500, GOO, 900; and this immense volume of capital is seeking investment at 5 per cent upon the dollar per annum, or less It is 8 fact that the young farmer usually starts out with mortgage upon his farm and in the savings bank eenters he pays a low rate of in- terest, and in 1860 he paid 7 per cent. or more.
 Such has been the effect of the protective policy in the past. Would it be very safe experiment to abandon that policy for free trade?

Some Strange Things.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 A very strange and to the writer unac-
 countable mode of thinking has of late
 Cropped out" among some of the hitherto
 teachers of Christianity and morals in New
 England and especially in Connecticut, where
 we find those whom we have been accustomed
 to look up to as men of judgment and con-
 sistency now ready to condemn Q man who
 has been selected by 8 Garfield (as bad as his record is reported) to the highest office in his Cabinet and equally ready to support one whose record is anything but savory, accord ing to his friends and his own admission. What, pray, is the use of churches and schools and teaching of morality at all when such men advise the voting for one who has openly broken one of the Commandments ot the deealogue, thereby bringing dis grace and sorrow to many hearts Surely we have fallen on strange times and a stranger code of morals. Could
 not a murderer or burglar be run for the same position with equal consistency
 Speaking of protection Horace Greeley makes a good point in his book on politica economy, page g. He writes: "Ross Brown, during recent tour of the Holy Land say he saw but one man in that country doins anything; he was falling from the roof of house" and Palestine is under the rule O those who reject the idea of protection.

 Dr. Madden surprised the British Medical association at it's last meeting by showing how common, among children, was the habit of liquor drinking, and how many cases of juvenile alcoholism he had been called upon to treat in his own practice. The cases are children to public saloons for liquor. On their way home they take draughts of the liquor, and thus are sown the seeds which may germinate into an irresistible desire for alcohol. The Doctor has lately treated a case of well-marked chronic alcoholism in 8 boy of 8, and one of delirium tremens in a child of the same age.
 Let it not be forgotten that the average wages of labor in this country are sixty per cent. higher than in free trade Great Britain; that the same quantities costing in New York $50 for each person will cost in London over $55; that the British taxes on liquor and tobacco make the cost of the quantity which our people consume greater in England than they cost here by about $8 for each person; that, in short, the entire cost of living, if the same articles and quantities are bought in England that are consumed here, is less in this country than in England, while wages are sixty per cent. greater. Is the4e any sense in abandoning the policy of protection which has done so much to make this country good place to live in?
 Butter and cheese are being shipped on an extensive scale from New Zealand to the London market. A sample of one hundred casks of butter, put up in rolls, was sent to London recently and sold in Leadenhall mar ket at 9 cents per pound. It made the voy- age in prime condition, in refrigerating chambers at a uniform temperature of 380 Cooperative dairying has been established on the American plan, and the export of dairy products to London will steadily grow Two lines of fast steel steamships ply be- tween New Zealand and London direct. These vessels are fitted up with refrigera- tors, and carry merchandise and passengers. If the free traders could have their way the New Zealand butter and cheese makers would soon be in active competition with the dairymen of this country.
 A Swiss Cardinal has up to the present time been purely mythical. The red hat has, it appears, never been given to Swiss pre- late. Is is stated, however, that Pope Leo XIII. intends to break with this time honored tradition, and to give Cardinal to Switzerland, as his predecessor, in equal dis regard eff precedent, gave one to England, Ireland, and the United States. Monsignor Lachat is the person destined for the honor He was Bishop of Berne at the time of the settlement of he outstanding differences be- tween the Swiss Federation and the Vatican; and, as the former insisted on his deposition, it was found necessary to sacrifice him. As compensation to the Bishop for the loss of his see, and in recognition of his long service, the Pope has determined to raise him to the rank of an Archbishop, and to promote him to seat in the Sacred Colleges at the same time.

The House ofLords.

[George William Curtis in Harper's Nagazine.l
 John Morley, for many years editor of the Fortnightly Review, one of the most accom- plished students of history and literature in England, and very advanced radical in re- ligion and politics, passed two or three years ago from the editorship of the Pail Mall Ga zette to Parliament. This English scholar recently addressed a meeting of coal miners in Durham, body of men probably as illite- rate as any in the kingdom, and more so than any political orator addresses, and he asked them whether they, whose forefathers would not endure the tyranny and misgovernment of kings, should submit to the oppression and stupidity of peers The House of Lords he said, which was merely hereditary tory club with the power of unlimited veto in a free government, was nothing more than a very bad practical joke. It was not the lords, he declared, who had covered the fair coun- try of the north of England with marvels of ingenuity and skill. Not st all. They had been from the first the rallying-point of all that was stupid, selfish and obstructive 1n the currents of this country.
 This shows the spirit and the vlgor and plainness of speech with which the House of Lords is now assailed in England. The tone of Mr. Morley's address to body of miners would seem to be revolutionary, but probably neither he nor John Bright nor any other lib eral orator anticipates revolution. There is no line in English literature more exactly truthful than that of Tennyson that England is the country in which

The increase in the number of small farms in the South is one of the most notable changes in agriculture under the rule of free labor. In South Carolina the average size of the farms in 1860 was 499 acres; in 1870, 233 acres; in 1880, 143 acres, and to-day un- doubtedly still less. This rapid mu1tiplica- tion of small landowners is hopeful sign.

The New Orleans State makes the following sig nifcant remarks: The people of the South are now remitted to the old issues upon which political battles were fought in this country for fifty years preceding the war. The sectional and war issues have either all disappeared or are fast disappearing. The chief of the old issues is that of the tariff, whether it shall be for protection or for rev enue only.

Freedom broadens slowly down
 From precedent to precedent
 The national stock is so little modified by immigration that the national temperament remains virtually unchanged, and the nation al movement may be generally predicted. The Lords will yield. They will not push resistance to extremity, and when they have made their protest, and have arrayed them selves in line of battle, they will politely withdraw and leave the field to the Com mons. They made their last threatening stand against the reform bill in 1882, and for some time there was Q prospect of serious trouble. But the whig ministry controlled the king, and the king by the power of crea- ting peers controls the House of Lords. The king intimated his wishes and the Lords ae- quiesced.
 They are not likely to make another con test for veto upon the action of the House of Commons, for the reason that there is so much intelligence and good sense among them A British peer has certain class prej udices and peculiarities, but he knows per fectly well that the real governing power in England is the House of Commons, which is the direct and elected representative of the whole body of English voters. When he perceives plainly the will of that body he knows that to resist it to the end would be to invite the demolition of his order. No body knows better than he that Disraeli' s pictures of 6 possible English society in which hereditary lords are the actual leaders of the people are dreams of romance, and that it is a society no more possible in Eng land than in the United States.
 Moreover, my lords position when stripped of the veto, has it's F'extreme compensa- tions." Even the power of the veto will not be abolished. It will merely become obso- lete like that of the crown. It will still re- main as a decoration of his position, as the king of England still bore the title of king of France long after he had ceased to assert any claim to the French crown. But the ac- tua1 power of the noble class arising from tradition and long habit, from enormous pos sessions, from high education and trained ability, and from the natural conservatism of age has become an essential part ot the Ia brie of British society, and it can be no more effectually abolished by law than tastes and feelings and traditions Its hold is beyond the law.
 Frederic Harrison has shown that practi- cally the government of England is that of the people, as in the United States, and that effectively England is a republic and not a monarchy, and John Morley says felicitously that the House of Lords is tory club with a hereditary veto. The descriptions are good, but they are not exhaustive In Mir. Harri- sons English republic loyalty to the sover- eign is one of the strongest national feelings, and Mir. Morley's tory club possesses very much more than hereditary veto. The Lords will yield. They will not attempt to exercise their veto. But they will certainly exercise their other powers, and it is doubt fu1 if John Bright himself would wish to turn them out of their chamber, as he would not wish to overthrow the throne.
