ENGLISH TRADE EXPERIENCE.
Lower Prices Noted for Nearly All Manu-
featured Products.


A very extensive review of the COM
mercial and financial record of English
trade is given in the London Econo-
mist, February 10. II appears that
the imports of foreign countries re-
tanned for English consumption would
have shown an increase of 9.95 per
cent. in 1894 as compared with 1893,
with the exports of English goods 3.S5
per cent larger than in 1893, If allow
ance were made for the decline in
prices last year. As IA matter of fact
however, the actual values showed an
increase of 0S per cent. liz imports ana
"a decrease of 90 per cent. in exports
In 1894 there was an enlargement OF
the foreign trade OF the United King
dom, but at prices that indicate stag
nation. The smaller margin of profit
derived from trade in 1894 showed That
the average prices OF that years i'm
ports were 79l per cent lower than IN
1898. while the average prices of eN-
ports were AZ per cent lower. As the
Economist says: 1T meant not only
more and more work for no more or
even less money: but when prices
were persisteut!y slipping away the
value OF stocks deteriorates, and losses
accrue.
II would seem, however, that there
has been at least n little silver lining
To this dark cloud, and that the En-
glish manufacturers did not transac,
such a bad business as appears upOr
the surface. Owing TO the lower
prices, the English imports cost Sl50,
coo, 0O0 less than they would have COS,
had the prices OF 1873 been maintaineo-
whereas the loss in their exp )rts
reached only SIS, 0JC, 900. In teAt'>

II is well for free traders to contem-
plate the effect OF their Legislative
work occasionally and study its les
sons.
The free wool schedule of the Wilson
bill went into effect on August 2S 1894
aud from that time TO the end OF this
year. embracing four months and the
three DAYS of August, the importations
OF foreign wool duty free, amounted 70

II seems To he Simpie proposition
that uuJcr free TRACE 10 hing but
ocvan frcights which arc being low
cred every year, stand be tween Amer
lean and foreign workm n. No one
argues that home labor is rot better
paid than foreign labor. Protection,
buying at home, keeps Ia Dor in de-
mand, enhances wages, encourages
the development of industries. Free
trade, buying abroad, where labor is
cheapest, leaves home labor unem-
ployed and wages, of course, go down.
Protection increases the demand and
free trade the supply for home labor.
When the workman in the so-called
protected industries is at work at good
wages. there is building for the car
penter and bricklayer to do. and there
is a market for the products of the
farm as well as the factory. The
work ingman has found out that a
cheap foreign market is a mighty ex-
pensive thing when he cannot buy.
and that higher home market is
cheap when he has work. The Amer
lean la borer has had lots of food for
reflection during the past year or two.

Thomas Taylor was baker, en-
ployed about half mile east of the
capitol building. He went to work at
two o'clock in the morning and re-
turned to his home for breakfast short
ly before eight o'clock. On the way
home he stopped at two saloons and
drank the fiery and treacherous poison.
He quarreled with his young wife, and
in the presence of little four-year-old
girl. their only child, he drew a re-
volver and killed his wife. He then
turned the weapon against himself,
but his dying wife turned his hand, SO
that he only gave himself slight
wound. Whisky did it.

of Pennsylvania avenue, and within n
stones throw of the capitol. where the
lower orders of white and black hui

called the Division" and constitutes
Gordon of crime between the avenue
and the Smithsonian and agricultural
department grounds. The congrega-
ton of criminals could Toe prevented
by our police department.; but nothing
is done except to make arrests after
crimes are committed. In every case
of assault, and in every deadly affray,
the story is told in the police court,
that whisky did it. The saloons in that
quarter are kept by brutal men and
lost women. They sell rank poison,
compared with which the real whisky
would be nectar. And yet, our authori-
ties issue licenses to these dealers in
