The several Matchmaking Democratic
sheets run in Albuquerque, and one or
two other towns in New Mexico, are still
squealing at the NEW MEXICAN, like so
many pigs. They have good cause to
squeal. The New MEXICAN can not
blame them. Its course hurts them and
the gang that runs them. Let them

TIE attacks by couple OF blackmail-

the luminosity of the matchmaking black

Moral Aspects of rree-Trade.


After all the economical arguments
against Protection appear to have been
concluded, but not without some misgiv-
ings as TO their efficiency, Mr.. Gladstone
summons TO his aid for the final assault
all the terror5 Of denunciation. He can
not finish what he calls his indictment
against Protection" until he has anathe-
matized it ss"morally as well as eco
nomically bad"-not that all Protection
lists are bad. but that the system tends to
harden all Into positive selfshness."
This is an indictment with which all ma
tons are graciously covered except the
British, and the British may stand up and
thank God that they "are not as other
men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers,
or even IS this publican"
The world. however, will be slow TO
believe that Free-Trade was adopted, or
is now upheld, for any other reason than
its supposed advantages, not to moral,
but 10 British material and trading, in
terests. If any nation has exhibited more
OF purely financial selfishness than en-
broiders the history of some British ad-
ministrations. it has not been recorded.
This part of the indictment against Pro-
lection is as gratuitous as it would be to
say that not all Frec-tTaders are liars,
but the system tends 10 harden all into
positive Justification. Though we might
highly appreciate the good opinion Of
Mr.. Gladstone, he leaves Us in no doubt
that it cannot be won unless VIC frankly
adopt and steadily maintain system Of
Free-trade." Wemust, however. frankly
and steadily maintain that the terms are
too exorbitant. -Senator Morrill, in North
American Review for March.

This interesting comparison may sug-
gest one important reason why naval
construction should be cheaper in Great
Britain than in the United States. Now
that we are on the subject, we will cite
this little incident from the British press:
.'At the Midway board OF guardians
the other day dockyard laborer, re-
ceiving les Sd. 90 a week, upon which
he had to support himself, four children
and a sick wife, actually came and APP
piled for outdoor relief in aid of the
wages which the government were pay
ing him. The board, at the expense of
the rate payers, granted the man piece
of meat. 4 few days afterward the
same government employee returned.
This time ne wanted coffin for his wife,
who had died, the wages paid him by
the government not permitting him to
buy coffin"
We cannot recall an instance in which
an American laborer regularly employed
in either public or a private shipbuild-
ing establishment in this country has
been forced TO apply TO the charity Off
Gals for relief. On the whole, we are
entirely satisfied, and we believe that the
American people are, with our present
method of procedure, which gives the
building of our warships to American
mechanics at American wages, instead
of having them constructed by English
mechanics at English wages in Great
Britain. We believe that the present
method of procedure not only acts as an
important stimulus TO American indus
tries. but that the better paid and better
fed American mechanics give us moro
faithful and more intelligent labor, and
that the logical result is a more reliable
and efficient class of ships.
