The goldites and the Mckinley

most detestable methods yet adop

them to support the gold standard
must be credited to the bankers.

total maximum amount allowed to
be paid for salaries under the law az
quoted from above is 81 900.
The revenue which might be antici-
pated is $4,000 beside such as would

such a bill is passed it will be a direct
blow at Canada and Australia, and
may thus antagoniZe both these
colonies. Indirectly it may work
harm to- England, after her pro-
longed wide-open policy, to shut
down on her own dominions i'm this
peremptory and unequivOcal fashion.
But il is a forcible indication of the
trend of public sentiment on the
tariff question in Great Britain. And
it shows that that country has been
forced. by unyielding circumstance,
to recognize the chief cause of the
decline of her agricultural interests.

British Protection.

1t has been plain for some time
that the sentiment for protection in
GrcatBritain was growing too strong
to bc held i'm check by the national
policy. At first il was the indus
trial workers who felt the steadily
increasing pressure OF the manufac-
lures from other countries. Within
year the agriculturists have Joined
the ranks of protection, and demand
a. system which shall protect them
i'm n measure against foreign farm
products, and which shall once more
SOW with grain the deserted fields of
England While the conditions
which made free trade not only pos
sible hut profitable In England have
not wholly disappeared, they have
undergone such serious changes that
large propotion of the British peo-
pie. all those engaged in agriculture,
for instance. and even the land
owning interests. have for some
trade is not profitable to them. 4
good many OF the manufacturing
class are rapidly coming To the same
conclusion. The time was when
England had II monopoly of the
most important manufactures OF
the world, and not only could afford
to open her gates to- the raw mater
ial. which was all that the newer
and less advanced nations had to
offer. but was the richer and more
prosperous for this policy. The
development of new industrial sys-
TENS and inventions unguessed fifty
wears ago have enabled the newer
countries to do their own manufac-
turing. They no longer depend
upon England for any of the essen-
tials of n comfortable existence. In
1883 the aggregate manufactured
products of Great Britain was
81. .2OO. .OOO, 900. while that of the
United States was 81, Ion, ,00O,OOO
| This. too. although 1893 was IL year
of depression and uncertainty.
Nothing could be clearer and simpler
than this contrast. Great Britain.
under a system of free trade, has
lost ground steadily, as compared
| with "A country whose industries
have been fostered and developed by
pootection.
The people of Great Britain have
plainly discovered that free trade Is
proving losing game with them,
More than one member of the exist
ing government, including Lord
Salisbury, has. from time to time
given indications of dissatisfaction
with the results of this policy i'm the
protection OF the landed and agricul-
tural interests The minister al
agriculture the other day introduced
a bill which, under a thin disguise
strikes directly at the importation
of foreign live stock. Its title is "a

MRS. MAVERICK.
Review Of the Case Of the Alleged Murdeaess.

The probable release of Mrs. May
brick, the American woman now
serving a life sentence i'm the Woking
prison, England, for the alleged
murder OF her husband. has revived
general interest i'm this remarkable
case. The story now given out is
that Sir Matthew w. Ridley, the
home secretary, has decided, not
withstanding the refusal of two of
his predecessors, to liberate the un-
fortunate woman. At the age of
seventeen Miss Chandler. the daugh-
banker of Mobile, Ala, was married
to James Maybrick. a Liverpool
broker, forty-four years of age.
The couple apparently lived happily
together for number of years.
Two children, a boy and a girl,
We're horn to them. April "a. 1889.
Maybrick was taken i'll and his wife
nursed him tenderly until he died.
Il hen she swooned and was uncon-
scious for forty-eight hours. The
doctors said death was caused by
gastrO-entcritis. but two brothers
of Maybrick and some of his women
acquaintances averred that Mrs.
Maybrick had poisoned her husband.
She was placed under arrest before
she had recovered from the shock of
her husbands death, and, as is
customary in England. was speedily
tried. The trial developed the fact
that Maybrick was a habitual user
of poisons, particularly arsenic; but
the pOst-mortem did not disclose
any of the drug i'm his stomach.
About one-tenth of grain was
found in the liver and other parts of
body by a crown analyst. Testi-
mony was also introduced to show
that husband and wife had quarreled
n short time before his death; that
there had been talk of n scandal
bet ween them, and that he had
made will making his brothers
universal legates of his property for
the benefit of his children. The trial
took place before Justice Sir FitZ-
James stephens. an irasciblc juriest.
who was said To have been insane
ana who afterward left the bench

and died Mrs. Maybrick's counsel

was SO evidently preiudiced against
the prisoner that his remarks caused
general comment. They apparently
Influenced the Jury, and 1t returned
a verdict of guilty i'm thirty-eight
minutes. and the punishment was
fixed at death. Owing to the cir-
cumstances of the case there arose a
storm oi protests in England and
this country, and efforts to secure a
rehearing of the case Were begun.
Unable tn stand the pressure, Home
Secretary Matthews commuted the
sentence of death tn Imprisonment
for life. When the Liberal govern
ment came into power Home Secre-
tary Asquith was asked by Gail
Hamilton to reopen the case. She
presented petitions signed by mem-
bers of President HarrisOn's cabinet
and other persons Of influence. He
refused to take any action. and even
the efforts of the officials of the
United States Were eunavailing. How
ever, the friends of the woman have
kept up their efforts i'm her behalf,
aided by her mother. now the
baroness de Roques. who has taken
an active part in the work.

The theme is variously treated; with
