per cent in population during the past Ave

The British Cabinet has concluded to pre-
pare bill for Parliament, authorizing the i'm
position Of duties on imports from countries
imposing duties on British productions, as q
retaliatory measure. 1t may or may not be-
come law. But the movement proves that
the Cabinet does not think that such an i'm
port duty would be harmful to the English
people. In other words, the American policy
of establishing ssrobber tariff" is proposed.
What will American free-traders say to itf
The British Cabinet either do or do not be-
lieve that it will increase the price of articles
on which this extra duty is to be levied If it be
shown that the cost price to the people there
will be raised, it will be next to impossible to
pass the measure, and it is reasonable to con-
clude that they do not think it will have that
effect. The alternative is that such as
want to sell in England will have to
sell lower by the amount of the
duty levied. In this way only could
this measure be regarded as retributive upon
the United States and such other countries as
levy import duties upon goods Of English
manufacture. Allowing this, what becomes
of the freetrade argument that the price of
every imported manufactured article is in
creased by exactly the amount Of the duty
levied? Is the bill proposed for adoption by
the British Parliament going to have the eff
feet of taking the wind from free-trade sails
in Americai It looks like it; for it is morally
certain that England will not pass law whose
only effect would be to increase the price of
what it wants to buy.
The argument used in support of the bill
will be furnished by the report of Lord
Iddesleighs commission on trade, which finds
First, that English depression is due primar
lily to foreign competition" The bill itself
will knock one Of the chief pillars from the
free-trade temple, as shown above, and this
report about finishes the airy structure. The
American tariff was robbery" because it in
creased the cost of things that but for it could
be imported more cheaply from abroad.
It was "Chinese WALL" because it
shut us out of the markets of the world. If
this hasn't been the argument of advocates Of
free trade, it is hard to say how it should be
stated. England now answers both argu-
ments by threatening to establish higher
tariff, and complains because the United
States-for it is the United States at which
this proposed legislation is aimed-undersells
British manufacturers in their homo market.
In other words, the American protective pol
icy has resulted exactly as its friends pre-
dicted: 1t has fostered American enterprise
until American manufacturers are able to
cope with the whole world, and to undersell
British mills under the shadow of their own
smoke-stacks. The occupation of the profess
sional and theoretical free trader is gone.

New YORK, Sept. 22.-The Socialists OF
New York followed up their mass-meeting OF
Sunday with one held in Cooper union Mon

filled, many well known labor reform leaders

After thanking his audience for his recep-
ton, he pointed out that the object of this
agitation was not TO inti1lde on the Ameri-
cans any especial political opinion, but to tell
them plainly what Socialism was The word
was loosely used, even by Bismarck applying
1t to himself. Socialism and Anarchism We're
direct opposites In Germany no Anarchist
society existed and to day in America, it
