Whatever partisan prejudice may say against the Tuscarora convention, one thing is certain: It was not a cut and dried affair. No man knew who the delegates to the Chi-cago convention would be until after the election was over. That is the kind of spirit we admire, because it is the spirit of man-hood and independence. The Times ven-tured a prediction based upon a thorough canvass, and yet failed partially because no one but the majority of members were able to decide the matter. This is a sharp contrast to the machine methods adopted by Kentucky Smith's faction and therefore all the more commendable. The Tuscarora convention was enthusias-tic and who can deny it? full of earnest, noble k.'aves. The delegate chosen will make a strong fight for recognition in the democratic national convention.

There is any quantity of mental food in Lord Salisbi rt's recent speech on protec-tion. Tariff reformers and tinkers in this country have been so long wont to point with pride to England as the noblest exam-ple of practical free trade that it must shock their sensibilities to learn from the lips of the British premier himself that their teachings are fallacious and that in the light of practical experience, protection judiciously applied is the true doctrine. He points out that whereas titty years ago everybody believed tiiat free trade had conquered the world and that all other nations would follow the ex-ample of England, foreign nations were adopting protection and excluding England from their markets. Nor can he see any hope for the future. Things appear to grow worse instead of better, so far as England is concerned. AVhile other nations are adopt-ing reciprocal trade relations, none seek the favor of Great Britain because she has stripped herself of the armor and weapons by which the battle is fought. "The atti-tude which we have taken," says he, "in re-garding it disloyal to the glorious and sacred aoctrines ot free trade to levy duties on any-body for the sake of anything we pet there-by, may be noble but it is not businesslike." This is the doctrine protectionists have been preaching- all along. Protection is based on the idea that one of the primary duti. j of the citizen is to 6ecure all advan-tages needful for the growth and prosperity of the government. There is the element of aeHUb&ess in the principle of protection, but it is essential to So thett-- is the element of generosity, or "uobi'-ity,- " as Lord Salisbvrt expresses it, in free trade, but it is a nobility which milita'es against the interest of the people when car-ried to extremes. Here we have one of the most r markable confessions on record. The head and front of the British government admits that the policy of free trade has been tried most effectu.'l'y and found want-ing. Xot only so. but he declares Eng-land must adopt protection if it in-tends to hold its own in the struggle for trade. He does not advise retaliatory duties would uot injure their own interests by trying to punish other countries but would impose a tariff upon the luxuries im-ported from other countries. He would not tax the food products sent by the United States, because they are essential to the masses of the people, nor would he tax raw materials which are needed for their manu-factories, but there is an enornmus mass of imports that can be taxed without raising the prices of food and raw material. The significance of this protection speech may-be inferred from the closing sentence: "I shall expect to be excommunicated for pro-pounding uh iSortrnie, btU I ain bound to say I think the free-trade- have gone too far." 11 CLOSING OF MAILS.

The latest proposition in regard to a con-gressional appropriation In aid ot the World's fair is that the sum of $5,000,000 be coined into Columbian sourenir half-dolla- r pieces. These coins would be of silTer, of uitable design, and of equal value with the ordinary half-dolls- x. The demand for 50-ce-pieces is not near so great as some might suppose. During the year 1891 the number of half-dollar- s Btruck off was 165,-87- while of quarter-dollar- s there were coined, as against 17,614,621 dimes. This indicates the relative demand for the three subsidiary coins in the ordinary-cours- e of business. It is claimed, how-rer- , that the fair will create an ex-traordinary demand for half-dollar-s since 50 cents will be the amount of the entrance charge. It Is thought de-sirable to add this proposed number of half-dollar- s to the circulation, independent of the souvenir idea, as they would be freely taken by those intendiug to visit the fair, if judiciously distributed with that end in lew. ''It is none the less true," says the Inter-Ocea- "that it would be a piece of in-excusable stupidity on the part of the gov-ernment to let the great Columbian celebra tion go by without striking off a souveuir eoin. The Victorian jubilee, in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the reign of the present queen of Great Britain, gave rise to several new coins. In our case the Columbian coin in commemoration of the four-hundredt- h anniversary of the discovery of America should be so distinctive in design that it could not be mistaken for any other piece of money and would be treasured by the people in remembrance of the great cel-ebration. It would soon command a pre-mium." This plan has been suggested by the committee from the directory at Wash-ington, and has been favorably received in many quarters. The promoters of the World's fair are getting a little anxious on the matter of government assistance, and they will not be particular as to the shape in which the donation reaches them. Those who are favorable to a larger use of silver as money will probably not object to putting an additional $5,000,000 in a coin which will not only circulate readily among the peoplr, but comBsa4vpsmiuin on accom s 5fc Wl'-J- . 4 |
