PROTECTION IN ENGLAND.
A Cause Of Infinite Worry to the Free.
Traders of the United States.

The growth of the protective tariff
sentiment in Great Britain, under the
vigorous campaign of Joseph Chamber
lain, is a cause of infinite worry to a
large number of the free trade news
papers in this country. II Cobdenism
loses bold in England, what refuge will
its opponents in this country find? In
endeavoring to break the moral effect
OF this abandonment of free trade in
tina home of its votaries, some of these
free trade newspapers profess to be-
lieve that the hand of England Is
forced in the matter that she is com
PEELED to turn to protection Ect be-
cause it is sound in principle, but as
a matter of retaliation against the
United States. Thus a conspicuous
free trade newspaper says that the
Chamberlain campaign has apparently
reused in many quarters of this coun-
try C vague feeling Of distrust of the
wisdom of our own policy, which has
provoked this attempt at retaliation"
This is an exact Converse of the
Chamberlain position. MI Chamber
lain has never for a single instant used
the argument that protection should
be adopted for the purpose of COMPEL
ing the United States to open its mar.
kets to English goods. On the direct
contrary he has commended the tariff
policy OF the United States and held
It up as a model worthy of British
adoption. For the free trade between
the states of the American uniOn with
tariff against the outside world, he
proposes a substantial equivalent of
free trade between all of the com
ponent parts or the British Empire,
with tariffs against outsiders, which
Is as near an equivalent of the Ameri.
can system of protection as the differ,
5nt circumstances of the British EN-
pire will admit adopting,
