Tus Parliamentary commission which

Tue Parliamentary commission which
has been inquiring into the causes OF in.
dus!rial depression in Great Britain finds:
First, That English depression in trade
is due not to exceptional causes, or peri
odical over production, accordidg to the
generally accepted teaching, but 10 foreiEn
competition.
Second, That English industrial pro
ducton is handicapped and foreign com
petiticn promoted by foreign duties praC-
;icSIly prohibitiVe OF English exports.
Third, That wages have not risen pre-
portionately as high as the cost OF living,
and are kept down by the effects OF for
eign duties aud competition.
Fourth, That widespread suffering ana
distress prevail in the manufacturing die,
tricts in consequence OF low wages anu
dearth Of employment. 49,,
The result ia that q free trade cabinet
will propose to Parliament duties on i'm
portations coming in contact with British
products; that is to say. q policy OF pro-
lection. The confident prophecy Of Mr..
Golden that the world would follow Great
Britain has not been verified, and British
statesmen are now forced to turn to protec-
ton Tor salvation. II England, with her
vast capital and great advantages gcnei-
all, cannot thrive on free trade, what en-
