THE sroREKEEPER's TRADE.

The storekeeper is congratulating him.
self upon a slight improvement in his
business, and he needs it badly enough.
He is thankful, indeed, for the little re-
vival that he is now experiencing, but
wonders why he is not doing the rushing
business that he did in 1892. Those were
the good old palmy days when everybody
had work and money to spend. His store
was always full then, and he could go
home at the end of each week feeling con-
tent with himself and the world at large.
But how different has his business been
this year. He might have discharged all
his help, but kept more hands than he
needed, partly out of sympathy and partly
because he hoped every day that business
would improve. Many was the time that
he has looked out at his empty store and
wondered II he would be able to pay the
months rent and salaries when they be-
came due. He is doing a little better
now, but not much That big boom in
business that was to follow the passage OF
Democratic free trade tariff bill has not
turned up yet. The storekeeper Is still
waiting for it.

CORRECT THE BLUNDER.

The way that the northern states sup
ported the Democratic nominee for presi-
dent in 1892 really looked as if delirium
had seized upon the people. In every in
stance, however, since that fateful year,
where the people have been called upon to
ratify or condemn their former action, the
result has been an overwhelming an
nouncement against the fearful mistake
into which they fell.
Every true friend of industry and the
hundreds of thousands of the unemployed
throughout the length and breadth of the
country will look to the Industrious east
and the great northwest for thunder Of
protest against the party of free trade in
the coming election, and for such con-
troll in the next congress as will check fur
ther tariff reductions until all branches
of the government can be recovered in
1896, and the devastated industries of the
land be rehabilitated and restored by wise,
effective protection laws. The emphatic
protest from Louisiana, too, will be one of
the features of this years congressional
election

AN INoUIRING ENGLIsHMAN.

An Englishman, James Edgecombe,
writes from London to the Birmingham
Post to make some comment upon the
recent speech of Mr.. William l.. Wilson
to his British constituents at the cham
ber of commerce banquet in London.
Mr. Edgecombe wants to know how it has
happened that, if one tariff has been so
destructive to American interests, the
United States within forty years has built
up an iron and steel industry greater than
that of England. England used to lea1
the world in this business, but, observes
Edgecombe, 1.-The tariff protection of the
United States has placed us second This
inquirer also wants to know how protec-
tion has harmed the American people if it
be true, as Wilson says, that we have
created here a manufacturing plant which
will meet the home demand fully by run
ming for six r.onths in the year 1t is not
indeed reasonable to condemn a system
which has within three decades made the
nation self contained and self dependent.
These thoughts, of course, occurred to
every intelligent Englishman who hark-
ened to Wilson. His hearers must have
wondered, FIRST how SO foolish man could
ever have been raised to SO high place;
second, how he could have supposed his
audience so stupid as not to perceive that
his entire performance at Washington was
in the interest of Europe, and, third, that
an American citizen could find satisfaction
in honors paid to him by the industrial
enemies Of his country because he had
sacrificed the interests of his own people
to them.-The Manufactures.

PROTECTION MUST PREVAIL.

1t is evident from the present condition
of labor that great and distressing change
has been and is pending. To make mis-
take in deciding why this condition OF IN
dustrial unrest and idleness has set In
would make matters worse To fairly I'M
derstand what the trouble is intelligenS~e-
tion can be taken.
The Democratic party proclaimed the
old Calhoun doctrine of free trade. The
people elected them on that issue. As soon
as this was done business adjusted itself
for the change. 1t meant the destruction
Of our industries or heavy reduction In
wages To look elsewhere for the disease
and to apply any other remedy than pro-
lection VIII only prolong the disaster.
We are in the midst of what our past ex-
perience teaches us would result from the
election of party to power that would
abandon the protective policy. After 1916,
after 1888 and after 1916 tell the same story.
Everywhere an abundance of everything
to add to our prosperity except work for
our people. Without protection work for
the American laborer at American wages
has never been, and viii never be, found.
The party that will not give us protection
cannot give us prosperity

The special topic for future consideration
here is not the election, for all have de-
cided how they shall vote. but the South
African Choir which sings here on Satur-
day, Nov. 3. This is the only organization
of the kind in the world and consists of l6
singers from South Africa. Dressed in
their native costumes they create an en-
thusiasm that draws crowded houses
everywhere. The low price Of admission
will certainly ill the Normal chapel.

PROTECTION IN ENGLAND.

Walter Besant, the well known Enensn
novelist, has been looking into Britain

n well directed attack upon free trade fal-
lacies he reused inquiry and forced sir A.
Kay -Shuttleworth and Sir J. HILBERT to
almit that great sum of public money
went abroad for supplies which could be
produced at home Mr.. Besant brought
to light many things not generally known.
The Danes furnish more than half the pork
used in the British navy; lubricating oil is
supplied from America; boilers were re-
Gently brought from France and used In
equipping gunboats Brentwood chairs
which could be easily manufactured IN
England, are imported from America; the
British fleet is supplied with Danish but

foreign paper, Bavarian pencils and Swed-
ish matches are supplied to the govern
ment stationery offices.
All this means loss to labor at home.
LET us remember that &, ,000, 900 spent out
of the country" argues Mr.. Besant, de

army under Marshal Yamatata. The tele-

lows;
"Before dawn of October 26, our army
under Marshal Rapagata attacked Kin

holds upon the Chinese frontier. The
place was defended by l6 900 troops under
Generals Lin and Song. They fed after

Japanese forces took possession of the for

more than 300 tents. The japanese loss
was 90 killed and SO wounded. The Chi
