 In a recent address to the Golden Club the Right Honorable Charles Pelham villers gave some facts about the effect of free trade in Eng land which are of special interest to Americans in view of the candidacy of Mr. Mckinley
 During the first 2 years follow inc the adoption of free trade the English exports were three times as great as during the 9 years fmmeds lately preceding that event, and during the second 9 years they were over six times as great. But although the imports were over $3, 900, GOO, ,000 in excess of the ex5 ports there was an excess import over the exports Of gold and silver of 1885, 900, 900, showing Q gain in both money and goods.
 Within ten years the deposits in the savings banks have doubled, and since 1857 the ratio of paupers to inhabitants has fallen ene=half Since the year 1851 tho amount of income assessed toathe payment of the income tax has been multiplied by three, and there has been Q vast 
 increase in the value of other assessed property.
 But Mir. Villiers says that the evi- dence of the beneficial effect of free trade need not be sought in statis- tics, it is noticeable in the condition of the people. There has been a great extension of employment at better wages, although the cost of goods and of living in general has decreased The people are better housed, better fed, better clothed and better educated.
 It is useless to compare this splendid growth of prosperity and wealth with the depression and misery during the operation of the corn laws. The troubles anG hor- TOTS of that period are q matter oi history.
 If McKinleyism, with it's artificial prices which robbed the people, con- sumed the surplus of capital, ham- pered production, restricted trade and reduced employment, had never
