Probably nothing whatever will be done a'ou'
the currency until the people have elected new
Congress in 1886. Considerable contraction oi
the bank circulation during the next two years
is probable, but it will be limited, perhaps, oy
shrinkage of the surplus revenue, and diminish

OF the Democratic party to vote away money
for river and harbor jobs and pension jobs and

PROTECTION IN GERMANY.

Prince Bismarck adopted free trade as the
economic rule of the German Empire, ana was
not satisfied with the results. Since 1881 nc
has been experimenting with protection. and he
now finds reason to congratulate the Reichstag
upon the change of policy. lie asserts that the
new tariff schedules have had favorable effect
upon home industries, and that the cOpditiOn
of the people has steadily improved. This Is
undoubtedly true. New factories have been
built. an impulse has been impaired to manu-
featuring enterprises, wages nave Dcen neariy
doubled in many branches oil INDUSTRY emil
grafton has been diminished, and policy OF
commercial extension. has been entered upon
with vigOr and confidence. Under free trade
there were continuous shrinkages of values,
reductions of wages and failures of industrial
enterprises. English competition closed Ger
man factories and reduced the number OF
employments open to an impoverished people
Under protection tho factories have been
reopened, and the Fatherland is more pros
porous.
Instead Of reducing the tariff schedules,
which were admitted in 1879 to be only
tentative, Prince Bismarck is now anxious to
raise the rates on certain articles, and also to
impose q duty on corn as means OF protecting
German agriculture. This last suggestion Is
ridicu.ed by Herr Richter and the Liberal
Deputies, whose policy of free trade proved
ruinous to Germany. 1t will also be derided in
London as a crownng exhibition OF Prince
Bismarck's incapacity to govern Germany IN
accordance with English ideas. Mr.. Bright VIII
decam against the barbarism of high-tarlif
legislation, and Mr.. Chamberlain will lament
over an economic deluson that may carry the
Fatherland back long way toward medieval
ignorance. 1t is not likely, however, that
Prince Bismarck will be deferred by English
structures from following out this policy. If the
Rechstag will allow him to do SO.
