Eneland,s Step to Protection.

While there is some difference of
opinion regarding the full and exact
significance of the tax on bread" just
imposed by Great Britain, there can be
no reasonable doubt that the Salisbury
cabinet deliberately intended to take
the first and proverbially difficult step
in the direction of protection. No other
theory so wen accounts for the facts
of the situation.
Il will not do to say that the heavy
drain has made it necessary to resort

down their ultimatum. They stand by
the principle of the Tawney amend
ment They oppose any reduction in the
sugar tariff, but will help the actual
planters By granting them sta. ed re-
bate. This takes the matter out OF the
hands of the Sugar Trust and gives

The cut in duty making it apply so

much relief. They will have to sell
their raw sugar TO the Sugar Trust,
which owns the only refineries, aud the

practically nothing of the advantage
which the lowered rate is supposed to
give them. But if Congress would
adopt the Tawney plan Of collecting
the full duty and giving the rebate to

sure and they would get all of ii. In
that case perhaps the 20 per cent pro-
posed would be enough. But with the
