Protection Proved.

The Finance Committee of the
Senate took wise and elevated
view of their duty in the
solution of public problems when
they agreed among themselves,
Republicans and Democrats alike,
that some statistics should be
collected to assist in solving the
tariff problem that could be ac-
cepted with confidence by both
sides. 1t was with this in view
that the committee entered upon
its labor Of ascertaining the course
of prices and wages before and
after the passage of the Mckinley
law. The subcommittee appointed
to do the work, in submitting their
report, say:
"In order 60 give the statistics
collected the weight of undoubted
authority, the committee decided
at the outset with entire unanimity
that the inquiry should be extend
cd only TO such subjects and be
carried on through such agencies
and by such methods as were ap-
proved by the unanimous voice Of
the committee, and this plan was
scrupulously followed in all de-
cisions as to the character, gener-
al scope, and details Of the inves-
tigation. All concurred in the
view that il the facts could be &C.
cured IN such manner az TO create
general confidence in their accur-
acy, a great step forward would be
taken in the solution of important
economic problems. There was
no expectation that tho members
of the committee would agree
about the political or even the
economic bearings Of the facts as
certained; but all were desiriOus
that hereafter there should be no
reason to question the integrity Of
tho facts"
heh senator Aldrlch made his
great speech on the tariff, which
was the keynote Of the Republican
contention, he accepted the facts
and figures Of the committees re-
port without cavil. when Sena-
tor Carlisle, the ablest and most
candid Of tho Democratic "tarin
for revenue" adherents, made his
speech on the same subjects, he
accepted the facts presented by
the committee, after its exhaustive
investigation, without question Of
their reliability. Each man con-
strued these facts as best be could

stated in the report are irdubita-

taking and impartial investigation
can establish them.

tial an authority, aided by the
most skilled and scientific statis-
ticians, was bound TO attract wide
spread attention on a subject of
such universal interest. Time
enough has elapsed since tho pub
LEGATION for copies to have been re-
ceived in Europe and in Great Bri-
tain. Among such thinkers there
as take scientific interest in the
theory Of protection, aside from
selfish interest looking only to
their own or their country's adj
vantage, the report has created a
profound impression, as might be
from it's character.
The London Financial News is
one of the most influential and re-
spected journals in England. In
its issue of July % it says:
"Is it indeed possible that En-
glish critics, ia their traditional
veneration for the principles OF
free trade, have been hopelessly
and egregiously wrong? Were
our own expectations, in common
with those Of the majority Of
public commentators, founded on
an entire misconception Of the
probable effects Of protective
policy in the State? If this report
be not atissue Of artfully contriyed
fabricatiOns, it would really seem
that these questions ought 10 be
answered in the affirmative. II
~. OF course, far from improbable
tnat the report has been prepared
by adherents of McKinleyisn. The
time Of its publication il at last
suspiciously opportune, and party
zeal IN America would scarcely
hesitate at even such a method Of
demolishing opposition. But,
when all is said and done, there
stand the positive statements Of
the subcommittee in all their force.
According 20 these, the cost Of liv-
ing has actually declined in the
United States since the adoption
of the Mex finley act, whoreas in
Great Britain it has increased. We

If the conclusions of tho sub
committee are really borne out by
the improved conditions Of the peo-
pie, the Americans will undoubted-
ly be able henceforth to put for
ward a substantial justification
for their protective policy. We
might perhaps go further, and say
that free traders, all the world
over, will be strongly inclined TO
reconsider their position. If such
a view could be sustained in an ex-
haustive and impartial inquiry,
the members of the Golden Club
would be compelled to adopt a new
set of arguments in favor of their
cherished creed, or the convention
