PROTECTION OR FREE TRADE.

Striking evidence Of the benefits con-
ferred by protective tariff is to be
found In the last issue Of the Journal
OF the Royal Statistical Society. of
England, which in an elaborate compar-
ison Of the relative wealth Of Great
B4Jain and France shows that al
though during the first forty years Of
the present century England was far
richer as regards total wealth and more
than twice as rich In Individual wealth,
the balance Is now In favor Of France.
This, too, Notwithstanding the enor-
mouslosses Incurred in connection with
the German war indemnity, the Pana.
ma disaster, and the destruction Of the
vineyards by the phylloxera. In 1910 the
figures stood at $l,O4O per individual
for Great Britain, and s465 per indi-
vldual for France Today the figures
are s1,24O for England, as against $3.50
per capita in France.
The conclusions to be drawn from
these data admit Of no contradiction.
During the first forty years Of this
century the English farmer was pro-
tected by the so-called Corn laws, which
have since been abolished; whereas the
tendency In France during the last
three or four decades has been heavily
TO increase all dues on foreign bread
stuffs. Thanks TO free trade, agTfcul-
ture in Great Britain is constantly de-
clining, while owing to her protective
tariff, that of France is constantly be-
coming more valuable. The superior

the cost of existence are not Increased
by THAT sort Of protection which is ne
oessary to keep the land in a proper

Secretary Of War Lamont shows his
wisdom In recommending to congress,

be precise, on the three battalion"
plan. He is wise In that he adopts the
plan proposed by General william Te-
cumseh sherman while In command OF
the army, and toward which the army
has really been tending. 1t is the only
plan OF organization suitable to mod
orn warfare. BATTLES being now fought
