PROTECTION NEEDED.

Every government should seek 10 de-
v.iop the highest skin and industry
among al Us people, and at the same
time al the natural resources Of its own
territory.
The history Of civilization proves that
10 nation ever has permanently Sc
cured these desirable results without
protection: and a moments reflection
viii convince US that a country whose
industries are undeveloped never could
establish them tn direct competition
with older countries. whose industries
are already wealthy and well estab-
lished, for the older and richer country
could well afford. N its own interests,
70 food such newer country with goods
at prices far below the Gust of producing
such goods ia the newer country, and
so break down and crush out all efforts
of the newer country to establish solid
manufactures and give varied industries
70 its people.
Indeed such has ever been the policy
of Great Britain toward younger and
weaker nations.
In debate on this subject in the Eng
hsh house OF lords, Lord Goderich said:
''Other nations know that what we
English mean by free trade is nothing
more nor less than by means of the
great advantages we enjoy to get the
monopoly OF all the markets of other
nations for our manufacturers and TO
prevent them, ono and al, from ever be-
20.
This certainly Is audaciously frank,
bat it Ii also tho very concentrated es-
sence OF national commercial selfshness,
and nothing but a strong protective
tariff can prevent England from forcing
this policy on Us. She has tried it upon
us repeatedly, bat especially in 1878 at
the close OF the war for the avowed pur-
pose Of breaking down our manufac-
lures, for Lord BTougham az that very
time in the house OF commons said: at
Is well worth while 20 incur loss upon
the 6rst expectations in order. by the
glut. TO stifis in the cradle those manu-
features u the United States which the
war had forced into existence con-
trary 70 the natural order OF things.
What was the result Of this policy
toward u.s. ''Our manufactures went
down like grass before the mower. and
our agriculture and the wages Of labor
speedily followed. Financial prostra-
ton was general and the presence Of
debt was universal and intolerable, I"
said Greeley.
The policy OF England ia further
shown By David Syme. = wealthy manu-
facturer and prominent free trader. who
boldly declares:
''In any quarter Of the globe where
competition shows itself a. likely to in
tsrfess with English monopoly. imme-

Some of the Queer Things Said Befor
the Marriage Altar.

Some of the Queer Things Said Before
the Marriage Altar.
Marriage is always a serious business,
but not infrequently it has udicrous
accompaniments. An English paper
relates that a widower, no longer
young, gave the clergyman who otficiat-
ed at his second marriage a good deal
of trouble by his stupidity. He seemed
to be possessed by some spirit of con-
trariety.
When told TO give his right hand, he
gave his left. When the minister said:
'Say this after me-" he Immediately
replied: Say this after me-" Then.
when the words he was to repeat were
given to him, he was stolidly silent.
At last he seemed to be aware that
the minister was somewhat disturbed,
and in the middle of the service he up
set the reverend gentleman's gravity by
volunteering this apology:
You see, sir, it's so long since was
forgetting these things"
At another time a couple who had
been married by civil process-by an
officer of the law, that is to say-were
taken with desire to be married again
in church, as the law allows. The min
ister, in the course Of the ceremony,
asked the usual question:
John, wilt thou have this woman to
be thy welded wife?"
why, SIR" said the astonished groom
to the more astonished minister, II told
You we was married two years agol"

If the kennebec Republican is not care
full it will get up reputation for humor,
if we may judge by the following extract
from an editorial regretting Mr.. Blaine's
recent letter withdrawing from the presi-
dental field, viz:
"But there is one thing in this connec-
ton which should be commented on. 1t
is well known that Mr.. Blaine has par
ticuar and personal friendship for one of
the candidates in the present Compression
al contest. With delicacy that does that
candidate the greatest credit, he has abb
stained from mentioning this fact or from
seeking to strengthen his cause by any
public reference to it."
Postmaster Manley is the man who is
alluded to as exercising this extreme deli
cacy. Mr. Manley is practical politician,
does not pose as kid-glove immaculate and
this new paper will have hard work to
make Maine people believe he is made up
of such delicate material. politically AS
we view it Mr.. Manley took his own
way t. emphasize the claim that Mr..
Blaine was warmly i'll his favor, and did
1t early. This claim was among the
first things that appeared above the
third d istrict horizon III the pending con
test. Unless the Republican is joking in
this matter it is laboring under a halluci-
nation, or we are.

Better Roads.

The movement of better country
roads, that was started by the League Of
American Wheelmsn, will doubtless have
good effect in Improvement IN that way.
Better roads would mean better satisfied
summer visitors, and that would, in turn
mean greater income to the people of our
State. Viewed from all points, good
roads are decidedly advantageous. An tx
ample Of the benefit in this way comes
from New Jersey. 1t is stated that four
years ago the average farm in Union
county, New Jersey, was worth not more
than S75 an acre. Since then (and large
ly within year 40 miles of telford and
mscadam roads have been built in that
locality. Two hundred dollars is now a
low price there for farms. Better roads
undoubtedly mean greater prosperity.
Such is the result wherever tried.
