Ground. - So
PROTECTION IN THIS COUNTRY.

The Grand Old Mar states His Iceas ON
Various Topics Of Interest In the United
-MiIltarIsm Is free Trades En-
emy in Europe.
LONDON, May se-Mr. Gladstone spoke
at the Golden club Monday. He said that
free traders must recognize with great dis
appointment how much ground had been
lost by their doctrine within the last twen-
ty-fiye years, Militarism which lay like a
vampire over Europe. was responsible for
much Of the mischief, but not for all be-
cause free trade had receded in countries
where militarism did not prevail-in the
United States and in the British colonies.
Protection was applied now in America
not only to goods but to persons, as was
lnstaneed by the treatment Of the Chinese.
Gladstone and the Chinese.
Owing 70 the ambiguity Of the legislation
on the Chinese question, he said, he was
not altogether clear whether the American
government taxed Chinese who entered. or
barred them all out. Anyway, he thought
] that the Chinese were to be dreaded rnore
for their virtues than their vices, which he
did not believe to be nearly so extensive or
fragrant As the grounds taken for their ex-
clusion alleged.
The Free Trade Outlook In America.
The great republic had never accepted
the doctrines of free trade AT one time
there had been kind OF qualified progress
toward them, but this feeling checked
| opinion became actually retrogressive
Still the growing strength, activity and
clearness Of conviction Of the free trade
! American party gave promise Of ultimate
triumph at the polls. On looking over the
world the prospects OF free trade were GER
tainly not encouraging This state Of
opinion had emboldened the champions Of
| protection, long lurking in their holes. to
venture out and renew the struggle under
the name Of fair trade.
Bimetallism and Protection.
Regarding bimetallism, Mr. Gladstone
said he believed its advocates smelt therein
a speedy rise Of prices. II was movement
In the direction of protection. Since the
adoption of free trade the wages of llb9ring
men had improved 80 per cent England
was working out great social ano eco
nomic problem for the benefit Of the world
He was confident that free trade, though
temporarily discredited, was destined to
become the universal charter Of trade end
to obtain the general acceptance OF civilz-
ed nations.
