THE GENERAL SITUATION.
The changes developed last week relating to the
general conditions and prospects of commercial
ana mercantile communities were Of q favorable
character An increased activity In general move
ments was reported from oil quarters. Tho bank
exchar ses for last week in New-York were
SSe,oo0,0OO greater than for the corresponding
week OF last year, although the stock transactions
were smaller than In the week Of last year This
reflects much greater activity In the general
business Of the city. There is material improve
warranted blowing in Of numerous furnaces
which for a. long time have been out Of blast.
Inc coal trade never was more active, or met with
more urgent demand than at present The
distribution Of dry-goods is unusually large for
SO early in the season. and merchants from all PARTS
OF the country speak confidently of a prosperous
autumn trade Notwithstanding unfavorabe re-

THE ABs0LuTELY PROTECTED IN
pI,STRY.

The industry and adroitness Of those
who have undertaken to force upon the
United states the British system of free
foreign trade are worthy of "a better
cause favorite practice OF these men
has been pointing 10 certain trades not
exposed 10 foreign competition, and cit
Ing the comparatively high wages paid In
them as an argument for withdrawing
protection from all Industries
While il is true that wages paid to car
penters. masons. house painters, black
smiths, etc, are high "a, and in many in-
stances higher than wages paid workmen
in a majority Of the manufacturing in-
dustries, the deception practiced by free
81 mechanics named are not protected
because their trades are not enumerated
In tariff laws The fact IL they are pro-
tected by conditions stronger than any
law 81 congress, and IL is in consequence
Of this absolute protection that they are
enabled 90 demand and secure better
pny. Bricllaying, carpentry, house
painting and Timing cannot he done IN
foreign countries and houses be brought
here ready for occupancy. Nobody
knows this better than the free trade mt
torneys, else they would be round quite
as strenuous for free houses az they are
now for free ships, free wool, and free
lumber The village blacksmith IL alb
soutely protected by the conditions
which render ii impossible for the farmer
60 send his horse abroad TO he shnd, or
his wagon or pillow to be repaired, other
wise the viligant free trade advocate
would not long permit bis protection TO
stand unassailed.
However adequately defended against
foreign competition in these particular
lines Of work they may be, the class OF
mechanics referred TO cannot afford To
overlook the Importance TO themselves
OF securing adequate protection 10 all
other industries. Every man in the
country kept steadily and contentedly
employed in some other industry lessons
the danger from overcrowding il the nat
ural protected trades. Every dollar kept
in the country which under free trade
policy would go abroad, enables some
body TO spend that much more money,
which may go into building or repairing
