What tho Young Champion Has to

what tho Young Champion Has to
Say.
James J. Corbett, who is matched to
fight Jehns L., is an affable, good natured
young fellow. He is confident that he
will triumph over the big fellow, and
appears to have more confidence than
the fofmer man who battled for the
worlds championship. In conversation
with q HERALD reporter last evening,
Corbett stated that he would train at
New jersey, and that he would not ar
rive in New Orleans until the day of the
battle.
II expect to enter the ring at about
100 pounds" said Corbett. 81 can fight
at that weight good and strong. Sulli-
van weighed 225 pounds when he fought
Kilrain. and he will oubtless enter the
ring in his fight with me at about that
weight"
The writer has had an acquaintance
Win Jim Corbett for ten years, and has
watched the Californian slowly climb
up the ladder of pugilistic fame, Jim
was clerk in San Francisco bank
He was one of the first to take snarrino
lessons from Walter Wilson, an Enelish
boxing instructor imported by the
Olympic club OF San Francisco. Jim
proved an adept, and finally so far out
classed all amateurs that be Joined the
professional ranks.
His professional career has not been a
very extended one, but it must be adj
mitted that Jim Corbett is a better man
than John L. Sullivan has ever met.
The big fellow next September will lace
the cieverest man in the world, and one
who may keep him guessing. At all
events, Corbett can be relied upoR to
give John L. the biggest kind OF an ar
gumenS. He has youth in his favor to
offset the difference in weight, and the
California boy can be relied upon Co

We are afraid to expect that the sue

even that the experiment will prove a
failure. and that the tariff has very little
to do with the matter either one way or
the other. But while we believe the main
objection to the increased duties upon
wool under the Mckinley bill has been
that they are tax upon the consumer
without doing the producer any good,
we still admire the genial insistence
with which Judge Lawrence presents
his high tariff opinions whenever oppor-

Protection Di.as.rou. to France.

As an Offset to Lord Salisbury's re-
cent utterances as to q partial return to
the policy Of protection, it is interesting
to observe how France fares under her
new tariff law, which is avowedly the
EXTREMIST system Of protection enforced
anywhere in Europe. Last year her du-
ties were raised from 25 to so per cent,
and the law which went into effect i'm
February has shown during its first
three months how it Is likely to infiu-
ence trade. The results seem to have
been promptly felt, and are frankly
disappointing to protectionists. They
hoped, by levying almost prohibitive
tariffs, practically to stop the iinporta-
ton OF foreign manufactured goods.
The decrease in these for the first quarter
year has been some 5000, 900 francs; but
the value Of manufactures exported at
the same time fell off 90, ,OO0, 900 francs.
It Is hard to account for this important
decline on any other basis than that Of
the new tariff.
Meantime imported food supplies in
creased by 34,000,0O0 over the same
period OF 1891, and as the duties on these
were all much higher the increased
cost came directly out Of the pockets Of
consumers. Without stopping to COM
pare some interesting particulars in
which the trade Of this year has differed
from that of last, it remains to note the
fact that, contrary to expectation, the
increased duties have resulted in a loss
OF revenue. Instead of greater customs
dues, for the last three months the re-
ceipts show about q 600, 600 less than
in the first quarter of 1891, and nearly
$s,5OO,OOO less than the budget estimate.
And since the increase Of duties, with
new schedules and categories, involves
q larger corps Of officials, this smaller
reyenne has between the same dates
cost about 100000 francs more to col
lect. The principle of protection seems
to have been carried to an extreme in
France where it ceases to protect
Christian Union.
