DIR. ANDREWS, ADDRESS.

. The meagre details OF DIR. Andrews
address at the monetary conference are
Insufficient for full estimate of their
value, but brief as the dispatches are
there is in them that vigorous, argumen.
, tative and aggressive spirit which
stamps his words as the most diplomatic
, OF any that have been yet presented by
! the American delegates. He fully realizes
, the gravity of the situation but he is
|, not prepared to accept any solution of
the situation in which Europe and Asia
|, DO not assume the burden which
their interests demand. The main point in
his address deals with the international
necessity Of some international money
metal besides gold. The necessity is
not alone that of the United States.
We have means OF recruiting and add.
ing 10 our currency by processes at once
simple'snd adequate.
But at the same time DIR. Andrews
recognizes that any monetary change

ENGLISH FARMERS ASK
PROTECTION

If we accept the claim of the Demo
Gratis "a claim which can not he sub
stantiated by the facts), that the major
ity of the farmers who voted for the
Democratic ticket did so with the in
tention of repudiating protection, there
is an interesting divergence of opinion
on the issue between our agricultural
classes and those of England.
1t would be strange indeed If the
universal distress that prevails among
the laboring Glasses in England did
not find its way at least to the yeoman-
ry, and it would be equally strange if
the great masses of them did not seek TO
find some remedy for the Ills which
oppress them. The English farmer is a
particularly patient being. He has sub
mitted TO being taxed and to paying
enormous rentals for lands which scarce
ly yield him livelihood. Ever since
the repeal OF the corn laws his grain
grain products have been subjected to the
keen competition by cereals from abroad
Prices have been forced lower from year
to year, and he has seen his return for
his labor curtailed until the margin of
profit has almost disappeared. The time
has come for him to turn and demand
that as forty-five years of free trade
have been attended with constantly de-
creasing results some change of policy
should be made. AS a model he nat
urally turns to the most prosperous
country in the world. He knows of our
abundant harvests and our prosperous
returns from naturally fertile soil.
He asks for the Inauguration of that
same protective policy which has given
an American market to the American
farmer.
The farmer in England is in practi-
ca1ly the same position as the manu-
facturers here. Without protective
tariff our manufacturers would be
ruined by the competition of low
priced labor from abroad. The Eng
lish farmer is ruined by the superior
natural agricultural resources of |
this country and those of Russia. |
His market is not his own. |
He wants it made so. There is but one
way to accomplish the result. The
of money will not answer.
helpful as it would be.
would but palliate the disease. Protec-
tion alone can insure to him the market
which is his by all natural right. He
therefore asks that protective tariff on
cereals be enacted.
1t is a most curious condition of af-
fairs that just as the newly elected
party here should be advocating free
trade the substantial yeomaury of Eng
and should become such staunch adhe-
rents of protection.

The faculty of Yale College appear to
be entirely without control Of the young

cial Advertiser.
The police would not be powerless to
quell these young hoodlums were it not
for the foolish sentiment that college
students are better than other people
and consequently exempt from the arm
of the law. A few social rides in the
patrol wagon, topped of with few
wholesome fines, would work wonders
with these genial young men.

tanned TO sufficiently powerful influence
to intimidate the government and prac-
tically have things their own way.
During the continuance of this strike,
the history of which is not yet a month
old, the ministry constantly showed the
white feather whenever Clemenceau
and few of his followers waved the
red flag of socialism in the chamber,
with the result that there was little at
tempt TO enforce laws or maintain or
der, but constant surrender to the
demands of the strikers, who had taken
possession of Carmaux, and were run
ming it TO suit their own ideas of their
rights.
So now in France Clemenceau aud his
clique are in possession of the govern
ment, if not absolutely, at least in a de-
gree almost satisfactory to the socialists
who want to rip open the body polite
and fill its vitals with intellectual and
political dynamite.
There is 10 be general election in
France in 1894, and already the social
lists are, counting on getting enough
deputies to control the chamber. Re-
cent events assuredly justify such an
expectation. The friends of law and
order in France certainly have very
large task before them to keep the re-
public true to the line of its history and
its ideal future.

stated before in the News the entrance
Of new company into the New England

pany already handling the business, but
simply means another competitor. The
American controls the business of the
