English Opinion about Protection.

Engli-hmcn. They have too much inter-
eat In this country aud are too we'll aware

lion, to .hut their eyes to its advantages
One OF the latest to express themselves
upon this matter IA MIR. George A. jamie
son, u mrlnber OF the Commission to in
vestigate into the depression Of trade and
industry Ia Great Britain. While signing
the general report, this gentleman submits
some remarks Of his own which are very
suggestive. lie says:
"A wide distinction must be drawn be-
tween that protection to which foreign
country resorts In order to raise its
revenue. or, under however erroneous n
belief, to protect and foster its own in
distries and that form OF protection
which IL calculated, II not designed, to
invade the industries Of this country.
We can have no reason to
resent the former and no desire to
copy IL. but II is the first 1uty which "A

industries from invasion, and u govern
ment which confcsses its impotence or

Savings OF Workmsn.

Facts show that in Pennsylvania it Is
more generally the case that working
people invest their savings in building
associations than In the proper savings
banks; and results Of official investiga-
ton Of this subject Indicate that this
form Of investment brings large and
equally secure returns. Mr.. Albert c..
Bolles, Chief Of the State Bureau Of La
Dor in Pennsylvania, has carefully investi-
gated this matter and made report full
Of interest and Importance. Il appears
that the total deposits In savings-banks.
In that State. are now less than 10 million
dollsrs. aud the number Of depositors less
than li5,0O. The building association
members number ais, 600. and each mea,-
Der receives annually nearly $50 dollars
~ his share OF the benefits OF the assoeia-
ton.
Some remarks OF Mr.. Bolles upon this
subject win have great interest for those
In our own State to whom this form of iil-
wstment Is comparatively new, loan aud
building associations having had but
limited existence In Maine M vet. The
facts stated below show the magnitude Of
the work done by similar associations In
Pennsy lvxnia, aud what field Of bene.-
ncient future opportunity is open to them

our State who wish to procure and own
their homes and also save something for
