A free trailu paper asks: "What protection pro-tection does a tariff ullord that fails to increase the price of the foreign article which enters into competition with a aiiuilar home production?" All the protection that American producers ask. The free traders are mistaken in assuming that American manufacturers ask protection in order to permit them to charge higher prices. They desire nothing of the kind. What they want is to be guarded against the unfair assaults as-saults of foreign producer, who, iu order to hold the Amcricau market, are willing to make heavy temporary sac-riliees sac-riliees to discourage and drive out of business the homo producer. A properly prop-erly laid protective tariff accomplishes this object, and by so doing creates a new class of competitors, whoso pi e-ence e-ence in the market prevents the foreigner for-eigner lixing prices at his own sweet will as ho has always done when ho had things his own way.

It will bo hardly less bene-hcial bene-hcial to the country. It is scarcely conceivable that tho president himself should return from it to relapse into the, narrow attitude which ho bad previously pre-viously maintained towards the south, and to advocate any longer the folly of federal interference.

He has given the country thus far an excellent administration, and there is every reason to expect that it w ill continue con-tinue so to the end. He is entitled to the fullest credit for it. for w hatever has been contributed to the result by w isdom and statesmanship of the members mem-bers of his administration depended for acceptance upon his juUgineut of its wisdom aud expediency. lie Is IianiDed Anyway, New York Times. The prohibitionists say that tho accident acci-dent at the Miorcham, Vice President Morton's Washington hotel, was meant for a sign that the wrath of (iod had been kindled against the second highest ollicer in tho country because he was renting premises to a rumselier. Per contra, a St. Louis journalist affirms that tho accident is a visitation upon the vice-president for permuting the bartenders to charge twenty cents for a single drink of whisky. ' |
