ENGLAND TURNS TO PROTEC-
TIVE TARIFF.

What "free trade is really worth
when it is matter of business rathef
than mere politics, is shown by the
way England is planning to deal with
the problem of getting dyestuns.
England, like the United States, has
in the past depended upon Germany
for aniline dyes and now that the
European war has stopped the export
ing of German products, the world
finds that it is not prepared to go ex-
tensively into the business Of making
dyes. Men with capital are loathe
to invest under present circumstances
because they know that when the war
is over the German manufacturers
who are established in business ana
who possess the knowledge OF the
business necessary to carry 1T on at
the least possible margin of expense,
will be able to drive foreign competl-
tors out of business. In this country,
it has been suggested that tariff pro-
lection be extended to those who will
attempt to build up the dye industry.
but no action has been taken upon
it. Free traders have held up their
hands in horror.
But in free trade England, sugges-
lions for protection are being more
than discussed, they are being ser~
ously considered. And the protection
that is gettny the most favorable
comment is not merely nominal, but is
so high that free traders in this coun-
try would call it an outrage. In fact,
free trade England is thinking of put
ting a twenty-five or even thirty per
cent tariff on aniline dyes in order to
encourage and protect English manu-
facturers who will embark in the
business of making dyestuffs.
The moral to be drawn from this IS
that free trade is all right as political
argument but in a matter of business,
protection is the builder of prosper
ity.s

Mans Respect for Animals.


II We have any belief at ali In a diff.
ference OF moral faculty between our.
selves and the animals We must recor.
nize that We are, 50 far as our powers
over nature will permit, oyerseers Of
other forms Of life upon the earth, not
merely for u own advantage, but for
the good OF the universe. We canng,
deny that rthe struggle for life exists
and that We must take part In 1t and
do our best to destroy those forms OF
life which are hostile to ourselves.
We cannot go so far ir respect for life
as TO found Il society for the proven.
ton Of cruelty to bacilli. But at the
same time u respect for life Is a
sign Of our triumph. however imper.
feet, owe the struggle for life: and
the greater this respect becomes the
nor We are man conscious OF the
promise and significance OF all life
and the less we are beasts involved in
the blind waste Of nature.
Very slowly and imperfectly this
sense Of the promise and significance
OF all life grows In US. 1t Is not only
il Intellectual but rather a religious
nd emotional idea. II appears first
N laen like st. Francis with a pro
phetic sense OF a nobler state OF
being. From them 1t is communicat.
ed. by the beauty OF their example
rather than ty argument, to Other
men: and perhaps when 1t has be-
come a matter OF course In all civiliz.
ed human beings We shall find that
It is OF practical value and It will
attain to a scientific justification.
