Protection the Policy of Nations.

II free trade is really what our demo-
cratic friends claim it to be, why, we
ask. has it not met with more favor
among the nations Of the world? 1t has
been the economic policy of England
for over fifty years, and when first
adopted its most enthusiastic supporters
predicted that the whole world would
soon see the folly and wickcdness of
protection and adopt free trade. How
well these predictions have been full
filled has recently been told by the
best man on the free trade side" Mr..
Gladstone.
In recent speech before the Golden
club. the Grand Old Man was forced
to admit that free trade had not only
not made such strides rs the founders
of the Golden school looked for, but
that of late years it was actually being
rejected by all peoples,
Not only, said he, has protection be-
come the economic policy of all the
continental countries, and of the great
republic and its sister republics of the
western world, but every one of her
naiesty's colonies has laid protective
duties with the two exceptions of India
and New South Wales.
Every one of these countries met with
exactly the same experience we did.
They saw that to remain strictly agri-
cultural people was to remain Il people
of paupers. And they also saw that it
was impossible for industries to come
into being, grow up and at the same
time complete with the full-grown in
duStries of other lands.
Now, is it possible that the statesmen
of all these countries do not understand
the needs of their respective people bet
ter than the handful of theorists that
belong to the Golden club Is it posi-
bic that the great German chancellor
was mistaken as to what was best for
his country? Is it possible that French
statesmen do not know the policy best
suited to the needs of France, coun-
try that has in recent years advanced
in material greatness as no other coun-
try in Europe has advanced? And is it
possible that every great statesman in
our'own history was mistaken in sane
tioning the policy that is now being
adopted in all parts of the world?

Electoral Commission Methods
Charged in Loulsiana's Count.

SudiBo III LOutSldud SOunt.
New ORLEANS, LA.-The Democracy
Of Louisiana is split again, aud this time
worse than ever. The compromise by
which it was sought to unite the two
Democratic factions, each of which had
full State ticket in the field, headed hy
McEnery and Foster respectively, pro-
vided for general Democratic primary
on March %. Anticipating trouble over
the count at this elcc ion, Il special COM
mittee OF seven was created to act like
the famous Electoral Commission of 1876.
1t consisted of three men of each faction,
the seventh man being the Hon. John
Young, who was regarded as thoroughly
conservative and impartial. He had fav-
ored Foster for Governor, but had not

the law partner of McEneiy, VII was
thought to be one Of tho men in Louisia-
na able 10 act ncutrally and without pre-
judicc in this case.
More than 10000 votes were pCllcd,
larger number than the the Democracy
has received in any election in Louisiana
except one. The first returns showed a
good majority for McEnery, and the re-
suit was accepted by the Foster people.
Later returns reduced McEncry's majori
ty to 1,72S. Then the Foster people set
up the plea that some Of the boxes in
New Orleans had been stuffed Ever
since the election the committee has been
engaged i'll Investigating the returns.
Several irregularities and frauds were un.
earthed in the parish Of Sabine in favor
of Foster, and in New Orleans in favor Of
McEncry. In Sabiue the committee set
the matter right by throwing out the
fraudulent votes, but when it came to
New Orleans the Foster people insisted
that the whole precinct where fraud oc-

gave McEnery $50 majority. AS soon rs
