The Gospel Ct Despair.

New England is fairly alive on the tariff
issue. The question is being threshed out in
the cities and towns and country districts as
it never has been before by this generation.
Clubs, leagues. and debating societies are tax
ing it up, and practical common sense and
reason bids fair to successfully invade even
the college towns. The splendid meetings of
the Home Market Club. attended by the lead
ing American statesmen, together with the
complete defeat of Mr.. Everett 2. Wheeler,
the champion free trader, in the joint debate
with Representative Butterworth. has put the
New England free traders on the defensive.
Indeed, Mr.. Wheeler has been explaining
and correcting his blunders since the debate,
March "a.
With this has come change in the attitude
of the Boston Herald from that of absolute
unfairness to the New England protectionists
TO tone of decided liberation and an apparent
disposition TO give them a fair show in the
news columns of the paper. And last, though
by no means least. comes the glorious pro-
lection victory in Rhode Island. OF course
the free trade papers make light of this, but
the facts show that large sums of money and
the whole influence of the federal patronage
were thrown into this election in the hope of
making it the first gun for free trade And
this explains the course of the Providence
Journal, which is controlled by member of
the British Golden Club, whose real grievance
with the Republican party is its advocacy of
protection, and not the nom nation Of Mr.
Lapham for Lieutenant Governor.
In view of this crystallzation of sentiment
in favor of protection in New England, it is
not matter of surprise to find in recent
copy of the Boston Herald a verbatim report
of one of the most remarkable addresses by
Hon Joseph II. Walker of Worcester on the
moral aspect of the tariff question which the
discussion of the subject has thus far brought
out. Mr.. Walker firmly plants himself upon
the scriptural ground that he that provides
not for his own household is worse than an
infidel." Hence the nation which has not
sufficient patriotism to provide for the in
terests of its inhabitants or its family, is not
worthy of being called a nation.-N Y.

to accept the opinion Of few represen-

How Free Trade Effects English Work
ingmen.

The agents of the Golden Club and the
editors of the Bourbon Democratic press
are continually pointing to England as
country where their tariff theories are
working admirably. where labor is pros
porous and workingmen are busy. There
is no doubt that the circumstances and
position of England require policy very
unlike that which best BELTS the United
States. With her limited territory and
natural resources small in number, it was
absolutely necessary to her growth and
prosperity that she should have free cot
ton, free wool, free wheat, flour. and meat
so As to be able to feed her people. Yet
the facts show very plainly that her system
is so imperfectly adjusted that it bears
very hard on her agricuturists, her farm
laborers, and on large numbers of her
factory workmen. They are obliged to
compete with the cheap labor of the con
tinent of Europe. Our Free Trade
philosophers and Bourbon editors abound
in glittering generalities, but are inclined
to seorn such humble things AS facts
