BLOW TO PROTECTION.
Winston Churchill Claims Liberal Vic.
tory in England as Triumph
for Free Trade.

London, Jan. 1--we have killed
proection. This is the beginning of
such a political upheaval as has not
been seen in England since the days of
the great leform bill. Manchester has
saved herself by her exertions; she
will save England by her example. y
Thus spoke Winston Churchill Satur-
day night, and his opinion that free
trade has gained victory is the opin-
ion of the more responsible of the
unionist newspapers. though many of
them attempt to explain the result OF
the elections of Saturday as due more
to questions like the Chinese labor in
South Africa, war taxation, etc. No
where, however, is there any hint at
minimizing the hurricane that has
overtaken the unionist party or sug-
gestion of doing anything but to beat
an orderly retreat and save what is
possible from the rout.
