THE SUCCESS OF PROTECTION.

No where in the history of the world
has there been a more determined
fight made for a change in national
policy than that which is now being
waged in England by Mr.. Chamber
lain for an alteration of the economic
system of Great Britain. Gigantic as
is the undertaking Mr.. Chamberlain
has set himself to the task with an
earnestness that has been 'characteris-
tic of his entire public life. Being
himself thoroughly convinced of the
wisdom of protective tariff in ma
tional affairs he effectively is bringing
the people of England to view the
question in the same light. Recently
in a speech delivered at Leeds he
spoke OF the success Of protection and
pointed to the United States as a
ferceful example of 4; its. .beneficent
workings. esq
He referred to prediction that had
been made in 1890 by Lord Playfair at
the time the Mckinley bill was being
considered by the American congress.
Regarding this Mr. Chamberlain said:
Lord Playfair in 1890 addressed a
meeting of his constituents here. 1t
was the year Of the Mckinley tariff,
and Lord Playfair stated the reasons
which led him at that time to believe
that the Mckinley tariff would be an
utter failure. that it would be injuri-
GUS to the United States, and that it
could not be other than a temporary
measure. Well in giving the address
he used these words: If they (the
American people, be right in their
principles and successful in their prac-
tice, the whole commercial policy of
the United Kingdom is founded upon
gigantic error, and must lead to our
ruin as an Industrial nation Well,
what has happened since then? Have
the United States been ruined? Has
any protected nation been ruined? I
affirm without fear of affirmation be-
ing disapproved that there is not one
OF them. from the largest to the small
est, of which it is not true to say that
in everything that makes for the pros
perity Of nation they have increased,
and increased more rapidly than we
have since they became a protected
country. I do not say that you will
find it SO in every case, but say that,
speaking generally, it is true that in
nearly every single case that they
have made more progress than we
have. Why mention the qualification
. is this: While speaking it has sudden
ly struck me that in one of the cases
with regard to population, France has
not advanced as rapidly as we have.
But taking these protected nations as
a whole, you will find that statement
absolutely correct. And this has hap
pened, mind you, under tariffs of 80
per cent. 60 per cent and of 100 per
cent. We have learned something
since the days of Mr. Cobden."
Not only has England learned some
thing since the days of Golden, but
the error of his free trade policy has
become apparent to the people of ev-
cry nation who have thoughtfully con-
sidered the matter. Americans know
from experience the benefits that come
from the adoption of theA protective
policy. They have witnessed a re-
markable growth in every line of ac-
tivity. They have seen the industries
and pursuits of the American people
grow and multiply under the encour-
agement Of protection. That they

PATHETIC Wall OF TURKEY.

Portland Oregonian.-Turkey pa
thetically complains that number of
Macedonian soldiers have been provid-
ed with the fez, which will be worn
when an unusually atrocious deed is
done by the revolutionary forces The
sight Of a fez will convince any person
happening to be in the precarious
position of innocent bystanders'' that
the crime they witness is the work of
Turks, and more reports derogatory to
Turkish kindness will be circulated
1t is indeed, terrible thing that the
reputation for tenderness so laborious-
ly built up by Turkey should be at the
mercy of any ruff1an that may be able
to steal a Turkish fez.

Abba Republican.-Hon. ]. w.
Blythe of Burlington is being prorni-

the late Senator Hanna as national
chairman of the Republican central
committee. Mr. Blythe is undoubtedly
the best man in the United States for
the position and is favored by the
president. He is a thorough Republic
can and strictly in accord with the
national administration. Iowa would
be honored and the national party well
served by the selection of Mr.. Blythe.

times we get too much even OF good

sop, to us unknown, the farmers do not
seem to hang together very we'll when it

their industry.
1t has been suggest ed to us by Phillips
county farmers that it would be advis.
able for the farmers OF the county to

tutes. We heartily endorse the sugges-
ton and the HERALD will be found ready

common interest in the success of tho
farming industry in this locality and any
thing that will aid in increasing the pro-
fits Of tho farmer should bo known to
every :drmer of the county. Farming
under the conditions found in the rain
belt is yet in its infancy. Year by year
each wide-avake farmer is making some
new experiment and making discoveries
that should be known by all OF his
neighbors. There ia no better way for
the facts in regurd to these
discoveries than through farmers in
s,ituie. Meet eccasionly and compare
notes. Int is thought best to include q
discussion Of the stock industry too,
combine the two industries.
The columns OF the HERALD will al.
ways be open for any communication in
the interests OF auch an organization
II farmers favor such an organization let
them say so and II any know from
personal experience the benefits TO be
derived from farmers institutes, they
should let their neighbors hear from
them through tho columns Of the HER
AID.
