The policy of protectionists has been to
make sure first of the home market, to
make sure that the wages of American
workmen would be up to the high Ameri-
can standard, and then, and only then,
when these two things were assured to
reach out after foreign markets. The
home market is ours; the wages of Amer
lean workmen and workwomen are the
highest in the world and the highest ever
known in this country of high wages; the
markets of the world are fast becoming
ours. Through protection we have won
everything and have given up nothing;
we have won everything which free trade
falsely claimed for itself without paying
the price which free trade always exacted.
Such record ought to and undoubtedly
has won for protection immunity from
any serious assault for many years to
come.-State Gazette.

A great deal of interest is aroused in
both political and financial circles by the
appeal for assistance now being made by
Russia in the London money market For
many years to come Russia will require
large financial resources to carry out her
vast plans for railway development in
China, Persia and Siberia. Unless Lon
don comes to the help of NJ de White, the
Russian Minister of Finance, the building
of these railways, which bulk so largely
in the scaremonger's eyes, is likely to be
postponed for an indefinite period. 1t
seems odd that Russia should come to
London to borrow money for the advance
ment of schemes which are openly de-
signed to thwart the political and COM
mercial interests of England and the
United States in the far East, 1t is un-
usual, to say the least of it, to. invite pros
pective victims to subscribe for the ex-
penses of their own interment. The only
ground on which the application is to be
justified is the cosmopolitan character of
modern finance, which knows neither
country nor patriotism. Every shilling
subscribed in England or America for the
building of Russia's strategic lines in
Asia will ibe used against them. The
spirit in which that portion of the Rus
sian government which is hostile to Anglo
Saxon development administers the affairs

The trend of the times, says the Pater-
erson Press, is shown by the decision of
the Newark tax board to take into consid-
Grafton the question of local franchise tax
alton. AT present, the only corporation
paying anything like a franchise tax is the
North Jersey Street Railroad Company
which is assessed s., 000, 900 ON personality
besides $7S, 900 on the gross receipts and
"a, 900 in licenses. Now it is proposed to
look into the exemptions heretofore al
lowed the electric, gas and other public
concerns which have given them practical
freedom from taxation for the rights they
enjoy. As the result of this movement
will be likely to have an influence as wide
as the state, it will be watched with in
terest.
