The Free-Trade Way.

tits frequently asserted that Great
Britain has built up her vast mari
time commerce by the abolition OF
duties on imports at her own gates.
The truth is that a country which
cannot produce its own food cannot
afford to put duties on imported food
aid as for manufactures, her own
supremacy in her home markets is
not vet questioned seriously enough
to raise that issue.
One Of the most powerful factors
in the development of the trade ol
England, both domestic and foreign,
lies in her resort to the principle oil
Protection in the form of subsidy
whenever she has had occasion to
employ it. Her Government has
never hesitated to substitute a ship
line to any quarter of the earth where
British trade interests justified the
investment, Ostensibly the money
is paid for carrying the mail. In
fact mail carriage is only one OF its
/ CONSIDERATIONS. uc Cdi ing
British manufactures over new road
to new market, and the bringing
back, either for home consumption
or export after manufactured pro
ducts to be had in the new foreign
market,are the paramount objects o
subsidizIng private property in ships
under the British flag
The Gladstone government ap
pointed a committee TO consider thu
question of a Pacific mail service
| The committee has reported in favo
of substituting the scheme to par
tial extent The partial extent in
cludes a subsidy of $375, 900, whiol
is not bad beginning. The Sails
bury governmental accordance witt
law and precedents, will adopt tn
report.
There are more ways than one o
{. applying a Protective policy to tn
development of a nations industria

Plat on Protection.

Mr.. Mckinley had really less to do with
that industrial law than had either Cover
nor Dingley or Senator Aldrich. but simply
because Of his position as chairman Of the
WAYS and Means Committee of the Fifty
first Congress it has borne his name and
there seems to be good msHy people who
labor under the impression that he wrote it
line for line, and that the theory that it en-
bodies originated in his colossal intellect. I
would not deny him one jot or title of the
credit that really belongs to him. but II is
most unhandsome to defraud others Of the
credit that belongs to them IhoS {. Plat
Perhaps Mr.. Platt will explain
why neither Governor Dingley nor
Senator Aldrieh has. in ali these
long years, come forward to accept
a measure of the abuse that has been
heaped upon Mr.. Mckinley, for the
tariff law of 1890, by all British and
American Free-Trade papers. AS
Mr. Mckinley has stood unfinchingly
all their blackguardism, he is surely
entiIled to any reward that the
American people may see fit to offer
him in recognition of such patriotic
services.
The American people have shown that
they don't want radical Tariff in any direc-
ton. What they DO want is Protective
Tariff so devised as to make up by taxes on
foreign articles that compete with our own
for the difference between the price Of labor
here and abroad Mr Mckinley represents
the most radical and extreme view of Pro
lection. Th0S c, Plat.
Why does Mr.. Mckinley repre-.
sent "the most radical and extreme
view of Protection" or "a radical
Tariff" as Mr.. Platt regards the
Mckinley bill, il "Mr. Mckinley
had really less to do with that indus
trial law than had either Governor
Dingley or Senator Aldrich ?" Why
"defraud others of the credit that
belongs to them?" We sympathiz,
with Mr.. Platt in the crushing de
feat inflicted upon this colossal in
tellect "-American Economist.

American Merchant Marine Needed.

Reciprocity treaties undoubtedly
lead to close relations with those
countries with which we enter into
commercial advantages, but after all
we have been for years embarrassed
by not being in possession Of mer-
chant marine service, and until the
latter is encouraged BY our people
upon the basis of gratuity of some
sort-term it subsidy if you like
we will never be able to accomplish
the objects involved in reciprocity.
The American ship carrying goods
from New York or from any port in
the United States to any foreign
country can be regarded almost as l
would regard a salesman that is
travelling throughout the country or
world in our interest. Jointly with
q marine service we also must es-
tablish mutual banking facilities ;
they are collateral necessities. Geo.

said our Lord. 'for these are they which
testify of me-" and so they do in the full

the truth foreshadowed, that ''they that
are in the flesh cannot please God" also
''they that sow to the flesh shall reap cor

preach, or teach the things of God but by
the Holy Spirit-hence the unanswered
prayers; they are of the flesh, the natura

the things of God neither can he know
them. because they are spiritually dis

that has come upon the christian church in
this age of sectarianism or heresy for sec

the word heresy means. 1t is schools of

Effect of American Tariff on British In
duStr1eS.

The London Times points out a
great revival in the clothing indus
Srv in Great Britain owing to the
reduction of The American tariff. In
the district of Bradford, for instance,
in the four years 1891 to 1894, dur
ING which the Mckinley high tariff
was in force, the industry at Brad
ford stagnated. With the abolition
Of that tariff came n restoration of
nrosperity. And the Times says
s.no slight or grudging compensa
tion was in store. Full measure,
messed down, shaken together, and
running over, was the installment OF
payment made by the world to Brad
ford last year for her long contin-
ned troubles and losses. Roughly
sneaking. the Wilson Tariff, which
came into effective operation in the
last month of 1894, in place Of the
stranoling system of duties asso-
ciated with the name of Mckinley,
reduced the custom house charges
mon the principal products of the
Bradford district imported into the
States from 100 per cent. OF their
value to so per cent. This reduc-
tor. enabled the American mer-
chants and wholesale dealers to re-
nlentish their stores at prices greatly
lower than those which had ruled
during the previous four years. Then
the possibility Of obtaining at rea-
sonable rates clothing which, always
highly valued, had become exceed
inolv scarce and dear gave a great
stimulus to the normal demand in
she United States, so that the re-
nlentished wholesale stocks we're
rapidly cleared out and fresh sup
niles were urgently called for. Thus
& came about that the value Of
worsted coatings imported from the
Bradford district into the United

upon the wool-growing countries the
benefits of free access to the markets
of this country for their wool, with
out exacting a reciprocal benefit OF
any kind in return. Free wool was
a free gift to the foreigners, without

FIVE or six years ago it was the
cry of the Democratic speakers and
press that the Republican Tariff fos-
tered trusts and combines. We now
have Democratic Tariff and with
it more trusts and combines than
we're ever before known. There were
great lumber trusts which we're to be
throttled by putting lumber on the
free list. The Democrats put lum-
her on the free list, and the price OF
that important article of industry
and commerce has gone up. A big
lumber trust has just been formed
out in Oregon which has advanced
the price of lumber 81 thousand
feet. Why don't our Democratic
exchanges awake themselves to the

the trusts that are fostered by the
