RESULTS OF PROTECTION.

Every Prediction Of Prosperity More Than
Fulfilled.
Tho past two months have witnessed
perhaps the most impressive argument
for the protective principle which Amer
lean history has ever known. A Repub.
lican protective tariff, now just two
months old, has In its practical opera
lions more than fulfilled every predio-
ton of the friends Of this historic Amer
lean policy and COMPOUNDED every pre-
diction of it's enemies. It has brought
back prosperity to business; it has re-
opened tho idle mills and given new
and powerful impetus to manufacture
ing; it has already increased the ma
tional revenues and it has done all this
not only without an impairment but &C.
tually with an improvement Of our for
eign trade-for our exports for the
month Of August, the first full month
Of the Dingley law, were the heaviest
of which there is any record.
The strengthened demand Of the home
market under the influence Of increased
employment has been powerful factor
with tho short corps abroad in bringing
wheat up to prices which will fill the
pockets Of tho western farmers. For
this quickening Of the home market the
new tariff is directly and Immediately
responsible. But before the new tariff
could begin its work the foundations Of
prosperity had been laid by the declared
determination of the national admins
tration to uphold the integrity Of our
finances and to consent to no silver in
fation Of the coinage. Boston Journal

Norway Has Been Compelled 70 Repua1
ats the Cobdsn Oospsl.
Another free trade stronghold hos sur
rendered Norway has returned TO pro-
lection. On the It'll Of August, some ~
days after the promulgation Of the
Dingley act. : new tariff law Went into
effect in Norway, the aim Of which In
to protect home production, " whereas
the purpose Of the old Inv was to pro.
vide revenue for the needs Of the govern.
ment." a
Norway was an early convert to the
Golden gospel and has since chung to
the faith with characteristic stubborn
ness, apparently unmoved by the apos-
tasy Of larger and richer neighbors But
during the last decade the protective
sentiment has gained ground steadily,
II slowly, especially among the farmers
and manufacturers Last year the con-
gress (storthing) Of Norway appointed
. parliamentary tariff commission with
instructions to frame a tariff law "to
protect home production. On the 20th
Of May this year the report Of the com,
mission was made public and ON the 7th
Of August the new law was promul-
gated. The farmers obtained substan.
italy all they demanded. In order to
facilitate the negotiation Of commercial
treaties with other countries, the prin-
oiple Of differential, or maximal, tariffs
has been adopted. In other words, Nor
way has made protection and reciproo-'
lty'' the cornerstones Of it's tariff policy.
Norway is not large country. Its
population ia only little over 2,000,-
900 people. Yet the tariff policy of that
distant land has exerted. and will con-
tinue to exert, considerable influence
upon customs legislation in this coun-
try. Like our citizens of British birth.
the Scandinavian Americans, who hold
the balance of power in half dozen Of
our northwestern states, have been
more or less opposed to a thigh tariff"
and not few have been voting the Re-
publican ticket rather reluctantly ON
this account, while, others in recent
years have allied themselves to tho
Democratic or the Populist party. They
were nursed ON free trade in their ma
tive lands and remained free traders at
heart until their views were changed
by study and observation in their new
home But conditions have now changed
Sweden e-established protection in 1883,
and now Norway has fallen into line.
The recent tariff reform in Norway will
strengthen the protective sentiment
among our Norwegian American citi.
zens, especially those who have come
during the last years, and from now OH
q majority Of the immigrants from Nor.
way and Sweden will be protectionists
