ENGLAND's "RUIN.o
What our Protectionist Organs See
Figures are Against The m.

The antics Of the average protec
ZIONIST organs in dealing with Eng
lish industrial matters are enough I,
amuse the somber ghosts which Ri
Van Wrinkle found in the gloom,
cavern of the Catskills. When thes,
organs find that England's exports
of any given article have fallen off a.
compared with previous years, OF
that there are strikes and shut downs
in England, they hasten to print the
fact and to moralize learnedly upon
the evils of British free trade"
Even some of our trade journals
are led by their protectionist zeal to
indulge in this silly and nonsensical
waste of excellent ink. A case in
point is that of The Industrial
World, one Of the best of our trade
papers, which has recently delivered
"a protection homily upon the de-
preston now prevailing in some de-
partments of British trade. After
calling attention to some of the facts
which indicate that depression, this
paper assures us that "Great Britain
is now reaping just what she sowed
with blind persistence during so
many years"
or course the STRIKES, depression,
monetary stringency' and so on
which The World sees SO perfectly in
England are things which visit our
own highly protected ind just as
often and just as severely as they eff
feet England. 1t suits The World,
however, to ignore this fact entirely,
and it proceeds to read England a
lesson IN protection, advising it that
it must reform its fiscal policy in
the interests of home industry aud
home labor" With finger solemnly
pointed to the deep blue sky The
World says, "Now the fulness of
reaping time for British free trade is
close atshand and the fruits are ex-
ceedingly bitter"
But what are the facts? What are
the tendencies of English industrial
life prevailing over long series of
years? Those tendencies are well
known; they have been infinitely ex-
amined into and have been publicly
reported.
If England is suffering from the
evil effects of her policy, it ought to
be shown in the amount and gu ality
of the food which her people con
sumo. In 1910 each Englishman ate
oil of one pound Of bacon and hams;
in 1881 there were 1898 pounds to
each person. Butter to the amount
of LOS pounds was consumed in
$3.50 pounds in 1881. Cheese
D.92 in 1910; 5.77 in 1881. Each
ate 1858 eggs in 1910;
21.65 in 1881.
In the same period the consump-
lion of currents and raisins rose from
|. 45 to ABA pounds per capita; pota-
toes from 6.01 to 1886 rice from 80
to 1882 pounds; corn, wheat and
-four from 42.47 to 1852 pounds raw
sugar from 1920 to 1892 { at present
over seventy pounds); tea from LIZ
to ASS, and SO on.
The increase in the wages of the
people of England has been
very marked under British free
trade.'

THE SCHOOL LAW.
Some Of the Amendments that Have
Recently Taken Effect.

AS every one who is up in school
work knows, there were number OF
important changes made in the
school law of West Virginia at the
last meeting of the Legislature. At
the time, these amendments were
noted in the New DOMINION. With
in the past week many requests for
copies of the school law have been
made at this Office, and many inquir-
les as to this and that section. To
supply large part Of the informa-
tion thus sought we append a num-
of the points. Teachers are request.

Gladstone continues to be the eminent

able speech he traversed the entire
range Of pending political and soeio-

lofty range OF thought and picturesque
beauty of language almost never excelled

orator Of any age. In this speech be
took ground for legislation for better
