REVERSED FIGURES.

In his speech in The House upon the

commerce of Australia as illustrative oi
the injury we suffer by cur relation with
that country under the tariff. Thus he
said that &ustralia's annual trade is aboa,
$500, ,000,o 600; that in the last decade il
has imported products valued at $685.,
500, ,151 that while the United States has
sold to Australia S27, 100000 worth of our
products we have imported from there
$S0,000,000 of values; that instead of ex-
changing our machines, furniture and ag-
ricultural in Rlements for @eal, we paid
over money ts,the extent p0f $50, ,000, 600
If this were trCe il would have strength
But, unfortunately for the argument based
upon it, the reverse of the figures gives
the truth. The,Louisville Commercial has
called attention to this, and asks Mr.. By

his statements. The facts are tbatiinstead

WE are told that All conditions in Eng
land to-day point to prosperity, yet we do
remember of Commissions having beer
appointed to inquire into the causes Of
depressioa of English trade. Can it be
that insufficient protection has anything to
do with it? We are told also that the
English wage-winner is happy, content
and veil supplied. Vet we know asa fact
that the artisan and the laborer Iyes in
the United States in state and enjoys a
condition ef independence, that is un-
known to the Englishman of his ewn trade
or grade of labor. And this as TO physical
comforts, intellectual privileges and polit-
ical rights. Can it be that protection has
anything to do with the better state of the
