A BAD RECORD.
Protection ~ stumbling block Ia the Com
m.reisi Prosperity Of All soun rie~.

Protection "a stumbling btock 10 the tom-
mereist Prosperity of All toun ries.
Protection never had many legs -
stand upon. The United states has
been the only highly protected county
that has enjoyed reasonable measure
81 prosperity for any considerable
length OF time such prosperity n we
have had has been due To the fact that
we have free trade from ocean 10 ocean
and from gulf 10 lakes No where else
on the globe il such freedom of ex-
change between SO many progressive
prod accr> with such opportunities TO
production.
In Europe. protcctins record * bad.
The most highly protected countries
like Italy. Russia. Germany and France
are clearly behind England and Hol-
land. where trade j. most nearly free.
Australia was making good progress
until its different colonies began 10
adopt protective tariffs about ten years
ago The disease spread rapidly and
soon all OF the colonies were laid M
with il. In i>92 panic occurred, from
which Australia has not yet recovered
and from which it is not likely To re-
cover until its colonies again open
trade with each other and with the
rest of the world.
In 1891 one of the Australian colo
nies-New Zealand concluded to eN-
pertinent i'm another direction. 1t cut
off most of its tariff duties and tegan
To tax large land holders. A gradu-
ated tax was laid on the owners of
land worth S25. or more The larger
the holdings the larger the tax Twenty
per cent extra was assessed on all lands
in the hands of n bsentees Improvements
to the extent of $4,000 were exempted
from taxation.
John ID. Connolly. our consul at
Auckland. has just made report on
Land and Taxation in New Zealand.
Advance sheets of his report, published
by the state department on March -,
are most interesting reading to all who
are anxious To improve the conditions
of mankind Mr. Connolly begins by
saving that lin the matter of taxation
New Zealand excel> as compared with
the other Australian colonies. and per-
haps with many older countries In

there said il would be. its credit is bet
ter to-day on the London money mar
Net than i that OF any other colony -
tralasia. Large holdings OF land
are diminishing and opportunities to
employment are thrown open 10 the
people Thousands are locking there
from Professionalism Australia In
short. New Zealand j. prosperous, and
prosperous at time when not only her
nearest neighbors are in a mos;
wretched condition. but when all OF
the civilized world is in the dumps
There are no effects without causes.
