Free Trade and Protection.

Philadelphia Call.
The term free trade, although
much discussed, is seldom right
ly defined. 1t does not mean the
abolition Of custom houses. Nor
does it mean the substitution of
direci,!or indirect taxation, as a
few American disciples of the
school have supposed. 1t means
such an adjustment of taxes on
imports as will cause no diver
sion of capital from any channel
into which it would otherwise
flow, into any channel opened or
favored by The legislation which
enacts the customs. A country
may collect its entire revenue by
duties on imports, and yet be an
entirely free trade country so
long as it does not lay those du-
ties in such way as to lead any
one to undertake any employ
ment or make any investment he
would avoid in the absence of
such duties. Thus, the customs
duties levied by England-with
a few eXceptions-are not incon-
sistent with her profession of be-
ing a country which believes in
free trade. They either are du..
ties on articles not produced in
England. or they are exactly
equivalent to the excise duties
levied On the same articles if
made at home. They do not
lead any one to pnt his money
INTO the home production of an
| article, because they do not dis
criminate in favor of the home
producer.

The New York Star says: John
Sherman's fences seem TO wobble
in Ohio. lie has set his heart en-
the unsavory Keifcr-who may
be remembered as the last Re
publican incumbent of the
Speakers chair in Washington
as delegate to Chicago. The
nominating convention listened
to Sherman's letter beseeching a
place for his favorite. and the
delegates, with one voice, pro-
ceeded to elect somebody else
And yet poetic justice would
have had ideal fulfilment in the
election of Keifer. He is a man
after Sberman's own heart. In
the Speakers chair he lowered
the dignity of the great Office.
Blaine demanded big blocks of
stock, while Keifer made the
salary Of the stenographer and
the place of private secretary
sources Of profit to his kin and
kind. His. since Eliza Pinkston
is dead, would be the most fitting
voice in The Convention TO nom
mate the manipulation Of the
Louisianr election returns to the
Presidency. He can best appre-
ciate the qualities which would
make John Sherman dear TO the
hungry liordes in search Of the
Offices at Chicago in June. He
could best tell the thrift and
cleverness which have made John
Sherman a many times million
aire on thirty years of congress
ional life at an income of 900
a year. Flanagan, of Texas,
would have no need 10 put his
celebrated inquiry, WHAT are We
here for if not the olfices,' if
Keifer had The nominating Of
John Sherman, millionaire
Every man in the Convention
would know that the affair meant
"bus,ness," and money is the re,
suit of "buslness," in Republican
politics every time.

Some of The Republican papers

Some of The Republican papers
says the Chicago News, are IN
duigins in much unseemingly
merriment over the fact that.
while there are a dozen Repub-
ilcan candidates for the Presi-

but one candidate whose name Is
worth consideration-G over
Cleveland. A man named E-op
once wro.e a fable which sug-
gests an answer TO these gloating
Reds and Halsteads and McCul-
Iagfis. The story tells us of a
fox which met a lioness in the
woods and reproached her for
having but one wheip. The lien
ess bore the taunt camlv for a
moment and then redlied, as
A4op tells: "True, only one
but that one lion"

THE HELP" PROBLEM.

With the opening of another seasons
labors on the farm comes from all parts
of the county complaints of scarcity of
help and high wages. Men are hard to
find and come high, and as for indoor as
sistance it is scarcely obtainable at any
price. Farm products are low, and the
margin of profit from ordinary farm op-
eratiOns is small, and this, of course,
makes the situation still worse. 1t is said
that the people of western Vermont pay
their hands more than any other State for
the same class of labor. At any rate
wages are high. a remedy ought
to be had, if farming is to be
made to pay hereabouts. One
plan suggested is that farmers build
tenement houses on their places and COM
bine in sending man down to New York
to get igrants-German or Scotch or
others-to come and settle here. 1t is
argued that in this way help for farm
work and for the house could be secured
and kept, inasmuch as these people are
notably Industrious, and all, men, women
and children, work when they get a
chance. Perhaps there are other ways
of accomplishing the same end, but this
