prntse,Ion I'm Great Britain.

Washington Post: II is the intention
of the British ministry to open at the
next session Of parliament a fight
against free trade and for protection.
True, this struggle is to be waged In a
single item of imports-live animals
but it involves the whole question OF
free trade versus protection. II the
English Conservatives succeed in i'm
posing a protective duty on cattle, the
farmers will next demand protection
for cereals. Supposing the farm pro-
ducts are to be protected and the cost OF
living to be increased. the men who
work in the factories, mines and all
occupations other than agricultural,
will have to be protected from starSa-
ton by increase of wages. And then
what will become of English supremacy
in the markets OF the world?

Silver Men Logical Mt Least,

Senses" II iron and copper and lead
and coal and wool and wood are to be
protected, why not silver? Silver and
lead come out of the same mine. Why
make brakes Of one metal and ducks
Of the other? Protection forever
shouts Mr. Carter, but let everything
be protected" Unless the mountaineers
are to be taken in under the cover of
paternalism they will kick, and ac-
cording to the protective logic they are
quite justified.

Boston Post: The free silver Repub-

mand that their party must take free
coinage with McKinleyism." The Re-
publicans who denounce, as they did ON
the DOR Of the senate. the "antagoniz-
ing protection with free coinage" are
weak and illogical II monopolIes in
iron, in wool, in coal. in scores Of other
products are to be protected" why
should not the ring of silver mine own
ers claim like protection? This is
the sensible, logical, commercial view.
Moreover, 1t is the view which pre-
vailed in 1890, when McKinleyism won

McKInIey's Lead Full OF Peril.

Philadelphia Bulletin: There is no
more unfortunate place that a presi-
Dental candidate can occupy four
months in advance Of a national con-
vention than to be in the lead. This is
the position which William Mckinley
occupies today. He can count on more
delegates with reasonable certainty
than any two of his competitors in the
race. Even his enemies admit that he
will be in the van on the first ballot at
st. Louis. This is the reason why every
other candidate is now directing his
special attention to heading OF McKin-
ley. 1t looks as IL the Buckeye states

Attacks on Secretary Morton.

Chicago Chronicle: The partisan re-
publicans in congress have made a
series Of attacks on Governor ]. rter-
ling Morton, secretary of agriculture,
for his refusal to distribute seeds under
the absurd legislation on that subject
and for other alleged Irregularities by
which he has refused to expend rutl,c
money extravagantly with no usefpI
purpose in view. An implied eensDrs
OF Secretary Morton for his official &C.

soil II would not have cost them cents
where II costs the government dollars
to procure the seeds. Private enter
prise could have established better re-
suits at a trivial cost than were OBJ
tanned by the government at an ex-
pense Of millions Of dollars.
The seeds bought by the government
were not equitably distributed. Under
the old rule the secretary Of agriculture
gave to each member Of congress his
share. Members Of congress often FOLD
the seeds to spectators or gave them
away ito other members or made no
use Of them. in fraud Of the law pro-
viding for their distributidh.
The reasons for abandoning the
seed abuse were abundant and conclu-
sive. All the other acts OF Secretary
Morton which the partisan republicans
criticise are equally worthy Of praise.
He is entitled to popular commentator
even IL he should receive the censure
Of a partisan and corrupt congress.
