Was q Clever English man.

DR.. William Pole, the English au-
thority on whist, who died few days
ago, was not physician, but a sue
cessful civil engineer, and his DOCTOR
ate was degree for music conferred
on him by Oxford university. 1t was
a proof of his cleverness that he wrote
an able treatise on the method by
which the eye discriminates color, al
though he himself was color blind.
This treatise caused him to be elected
a Fellow of the Royal society.

IL Ia We'll TO Re CoddIed.

Mr.. Cleveland refers to the protec-
tive system as "coddling." 1t makes
no difference what it is called. The
plain fact is that under protection the
country has been prosperous. When
it has not been 'oC1died" as was the
case under Mr. Cleveland, the country
has gone in the direction. of the dogs.
The American people arc not studying
over theories when they have been
able to observe the result Of conditions.

IL cannot Be Assured uniess i"uuS''''
Enterprise BE Encouraged.
Every few days we read an editorial
paragraph in the Democratic papers
calling attention to IAN important con-
tribution in another column This
contribution" turns out to be syn
dicated free-trade article. A short
time ago it was new TRADE against
protection by Henry w. Lamb. NOW
it is a Trust Remedy" by Prof. Bas-
com of Williams college, upon whom
the mantle of Prof. Perry seems to
have fallen.
And so the new free-trade propa-
ganda seems to have begun in earnest.
Very willy are these academicians ana
theorists. The old stock arguments are
laid aside and a brand new contention
is brought out The prices lie has
been filed away. The markets of the
world are being captured so rapidly
under protection that the free raw ma
terial idea has been given quietus,
and so with all the old stock argu-
ments of the American Cobdenites.
But taking their cue from the recent
Populist-Democratic platform the free
traders pretend to see our downfall IN
the rise of so-called trusts; and trusts,
they tell us, are created, nourished and
maintained by protective duties. Re
call the special privileges" says Prof.
Bascom. and then he makes his very
remarkable assertion:
THE immediate purpose of protec-
tive duties is to restrain competition
and build a wall around the protected
industries
Such a statement convicts the writer
of being either fool or a knave. Pro-
lection is and always has been the very
foundation of all competition. Without
protection there would not even exist
the opportunity for competition. 1t Is
competition that has built up our great
manufactures, that has improved the
quality of American goods and has
constantly reduced prices. Suppose we
take away the protection from goods
manufactured by So-called American
trusts and let in the goods manufac-
tured by English trusts. AS soon as
we are at their mercy up will go
wages in the United States. The small
er concerns will be wiped out first,
and if any survive it will be the So
called trusts There is competition to-
day in every industry protected by our
tariff laws. So keen is this competi
ton that goods were never better made
or prices more reasonable. Prof. Bas
com and Secretary Lamb and the whole
of the New England Free-Trade
League may theorize all they will, but
telling him that the way to improve
his condition is to lower his wages or
give his job to foeigners. Every new
industry created and every established
industry increased means more labor
and more laborers, better goods, main
tenance of high wages and prices
equitable to both producer and con-
sumner. If the tariff is needed, then
keep it. If it is not needed it does no
harm. and will be ready when it is
needed.
But if we are to keep labor employed,
if we are to keep wages up and prices
down, we must have competition. And
we cannot have competition ut home,
with foreign goods flooding our mar
kets, or with our smaller industries
destroyed and our weaker concerns
driven out of existence.
