sUMNER's DEFINITION.

Rollin q. Sumner, who at New Haven
trains the Yalensian young idea to
shoot on the free trade plan, deserves
the thanks of his compatriots for an
honest definition Of free trade. which
we take great pleasure in quoting:
The term free trade, although much
discussed, is seldom rightly defined It
does not mean the abolition Of custom
houses, nor does il mean the substitution
OF direct for indirect taxation, rs "A few
American disciples of the school have
supposed. A country may coli
lect It's entire revenue by duties on i'm
ports -tifd yet he nm entirely free trade
country so long rs il does not lay its
duties in such n way as to lead any one
To under AXE any employment or make
an Investment he would avoid i'm the abb
sence Of such duties Thus the customs
duties levied in England, with very few
exceptions, are not inconsistent with her
professions OF being "a country which be-
lieves in free trade
This is entirely true. England's duties
on tea, coffee, chiccory, French wipes
and tobacco do not protect or affect any
home industries. They constitute a
revenue tariff such as that for which
the Democratic party has in convention
declared.
Do we want such free trade tariff?

THE POINT STREET BRIDGE.

Ever since the NEWS publishing Office
was moved over the river to South Main
street have made IL practice to cross
the Point street bridge every morning.
its good bit farther than to 40 down
by the post Office, but the panorama of
water aud sky aud ships and black build
lngs rearing their gaunt forms by the
water front make il well worth while.
The view ~ never twice alike. One
morning thick haze hung over the
water. which was CLASSY smooth, not the
ialntest breath or wind ripping IT. Then
the forms OF buildings bat few feet
away are hazy aud indistinct and seem
magnlhed by the fog To twice their
usual dimensions. Then it needs but tho
gieam of blood-red sail or two iutiing
out OF the mist TO make one think OF Ven
ice.
Then there are mornings when the sky
IL IN tie and clear and the water is faintly
rippled and only the distant sand bluffs
aro misty and indlstiuct OF outline: and
mornings there are, too, like TINS
when water and sky are all of leaden bup
ana blend together ia a gray and pessi.
mistic mass
The people who cross the Point street
bridge are very pleasant people. 1 have
crossed the sea more or less and ro,yod
much IN the famous water ways from the
lhames, tisa liddson and the st Law
renee, TO smaller streams like the Paw
tuxet, and IL Is my theory that
people who live upon or about or have
anything TO do with the water are always
nice people. Your sailor is a true gentle
man anoat though ashore the infuenc,
OF the land goes far to spoil hinl. So
are river steamboat men and brick
schooner cap'ns and c nal-boat men and
even the. truckmen and draymen who

HENRY wATTERsoN. ORATOR.

The selection of Henry Watterson as
the official orator upon the occasion of
the formal opening of the Worlds fair
next week is one that presents some
points for criticism.
There is no doubt of his general
ability or his eloquence. There is
doubt regarding his ability to do justice
to the great occasion he is called upon
to make notably historic.
If the Worlds Fair has any signifi- =
canoe it is in its commemorative char
acter 1t is intended to bring before
the world view of the progress this
country has made toward the ideal con-
dition of society under conditions differ
ing radically from the Old World con-
ception of government
To fifty portray this the orator must
be in acute sympathy with the chief
causes that have operated, within the
great fundamental lines of government
which all indorse, to promote the won-
derful prosperity and phenomenal de-
velopment the country exhibits to the
world
How does Henry Watterson fulfill
this one prime condition? He is the
rankest free trader in the country,
sweeping away the whole fabric and
in favor of principle Of protection.
Without making any attempt to en-
tirely Justify protection, or to claim that
1t is IN all respects the perfect incarna-
tion of the ideal economic system, it is
nevertheless certain that under it the
country has reached the wonderful state
of development which we are about to
ask the world to examine.
Henry Watterson wants to destroy
this system and substitute for il theo-
retical system that IL absolutely un-
tried, so far as the conditions it would
have TO meet here are concerned. Eng.
land has only prospered under it be-
cause there has been united 10 il
piratical policy of robbing other coun-
tries Of their own traffic and ma nufac-
turing. Were we to adopt it there
would be a struggle between England
and the United States for the control of
the world market. We would be Obliged
to adopt her intolerant foreign policy.
backed 10y an enormous navy aud army
and a theory of government that the
"arth Is naturally ours.
How can Henry Watterson conceive
ana deliver a fitting oration, having for
his topic the development Of the coun. |
Try uncr projections 1t is impossible
TO conceive that he can do it. II is inn
possible to anticipate anything but a
comparative failure from him. There
will be glowing periods and generalities

articles of domestic provisions-bread-

interesting comparisons with the same

The statement includes about 90 per

cles named from all of the ports in the
United States.
Noticeable increases have been made
IN the quantities and values of the ex

For the entire country the total value
OF the exports for the same period in
1892 was $2S5, ,247, 400; in 1891, it was
$3.50, 5O3,2 ,2O4. There were exported in
nine months of 1892 1O2, ,642 cattle and
3,3l3 hogs, valned at 81, ,532, ,2l2, and 9G,-
299 cattle, 1,750 hogs valued at $780,
7l2 in 1891. For the nine months end
ing September 80, 1892, the value of
beef, hog and dairy products exported
was $lOl, ZOE. .4j3; for the corresponding
months il 1901 only 800, ,4s7 ,075.
These figures are a more powerful
argument for the Republican protection
policy than can be made in any other
way. They need no comment; they only
need to be read.

CONFESSION GOOD FOR THE SOUL

|
The Homestead striking workmen
have at length come TO the conclusion
that the great strike against the eauita-
bic proposition of the great Carnegie
Steel company to readjust wages in
certain branches of the business is a
| failure.
lt was a failure from the moment
that the workmen made the assault up
on tile Pinkerton men who were sent TO
the mills by the company. BY this we
do not intend to indorse the employ
ment of the Pinkertons. We do not.
We deplore it and condemn it. We do
not believe there would have been vio-
lence at Homestead if the Pinkertons
had not been sent there, and sent in a
manner than which no other would so
surely have provoked resistance and
strife.
The moment the workmen resorted to
armed resistance to the proceedings of
the company-however injudicious those
proceedings were - they assumed the
responsibility of attempting to coerce
the company by force of arms and
turned legitimate exercise of choice
into an irtolerable state of mob-law
and murder.
The workmen are not called upon to
bear the full burden of responsibility
FOR the lamentable affair, as some repre-
sentatives of the company have been
indicted with their leaders, and the lag
ging processes of the justice courts
must be awaited to determine how the
responsibility is to be divided.
There has scarcely been a collision
between employer and employed so
thoroughly regrettable as this Home
stead affair. Bad blood ruled on both
sides. The company was not as patient
as it ought to have been, and might
have attained its end through the oper.
alton Of influences far less drastic than
the turning of its works into fort and |
force to man them.
A dispassionate review of the whole
sad tale can scarcely result otherwise
han in qualified condemnation of the
processes adopted by the firm that in
famed the murderous opposition of the
yorlcmen. These processes did not suf-
iciently recognize the fact that the men
we're reasonable beings, but were ap-
'arently based upon the proposition
hat they We're brutes. They did prove
themselves to be brutes, but would
hey if they had not been attacked as
My brutes should be attacked?
1t is a hopeful sign that they have at
asst come to the conclusion that they
annot combat the company, and that
fter the long struggle they find them
elves worsted. They deserve to be
vorsted. not because they objected TO
he proposed reduction of wages. nor
'ecause they objected to the Pinker.
ons, but because they objected to the
'inkertons with shotguns.
