Immediately after the reading, of tl e journal the House resumed the con sideration of the retaliation bill. Mr. Whitej bf New York, opened the debate. He declared himself eaneBtly in favor of retaliation which would retaliate Canada, but such as would not recoil on our own heads. He believed, that he could demons trate that the first section of the till would benefit the Dominion oi Canada, but injure the commerce of this country. For this reason he would vote aga i st the bill, although te was heartily in favor of the second section. ( ' Jdr Wilson, of Minnesota, opposed the bill j Mr. LiincL; of Minnesota, ranged himflf wiihj Mr. White, of New York, in declaring; opposition to the bill.

He could cripple the enterprising men of the northwest. Sut it was sot on account of selfish reasons that he would vote against the bilL He would vote against it because he be lieved that it was conceived for im proper purposes.

Xnt Mr. Lowell, lion though he bo, cannot have it all his own way in the arena; of political literature. There are muscular intellects and j much of the i might ol right on the other side. "Is Proteo- tiOn a Benefit T A riea lor tne rteg-i ative,? bj Prof. Edward Taylor, is al strong and powerful book, thus re cognized by one of thobe who would answer his question witn yeas;: "Prof.i Taylor while recOgnizma that the issue of today is tariff reform vs. protection, writes as an unbiased free trader with no partisan vceb. He makes an honest endeavor to state the proteeUohist position fairly,; but its fill strength is hardly to be expected from an opponent, vvitnoui going irito the details of his argument (pol icy), it will be well enough here to say; that; it covers the wnoie neia 01 the tariff; history of our country in a dear and vigorous way, and is one of the best statements of the free trade principle; and need 'of tariff, reform which: has come to our notice." "Problems of Today," by Richard T. El v. Ph. D.. is well worthy or a claoe fin everv Democrat's table. That so many Democrats of the South are unable to bur or : to read sucn books is a fact to be deeply lamented Prof. Elv asrrees with Taylor in his fiews on the balance of trade,? the relation of , tariffs to ' wakes, and in ridiculing the clea for protection to' infant; indue tries."? A critique upon Prof. Ely's book lurges the Republicans "to brinor men into the field of argument fit to cope with the college professors, Who 14 atgvuaent are generally nara fellows to tackle, little as they care for the "machinery of politics. v U i s. Ij. g. ? ! raOTICTjOH AD LABOBJ i As 'time went on the plea that pro tection should be afforded to the "in fant industries" of the United States krew (ridiculous and its advocates began to cast about for an argument which. would meet with some other reply ihan a sarcastic smile.; Mani festly ;the period of infancy .must end aomellime. andlthe infant industry ar gument is based precisely 'on the hypothesis that protection is merely a temporary need. This Plea is not oiten neara now, and may be regarded as decidedly antiquated, yet occasionally echoes of the old . war-cry of the ; protec tionists are still heard. Although they are sof eeble as scarcely to deserve no tice, it may be well to devote just a word to them. First,: one hundred years of protec tion ouch! to have developed our in dustry. beyond the stage of infancy a protection ever can do it. Second, the arguments which mate for protection to industries in young and enterprising but poor country end whieb, indeed, : in such cases, if .intelligently applied, may justify it, no longer hold, in tho United States. Protisction is needed, it is . said, because the pursuits, al though naturally remunei ative, can not become so for year?, and men Want immediAteeturns. This is true tl in a new country, but it is not true with us. We have many men in the United States whose purses are as long as 'hose which can be found any where, and whose minds are as shrewd as those of foreign capitalists. If it is a mere question of who is able to hold out longest in a competitive contest, American capitalists need no assistance Nor is it true that imme diate returns are desired.; Almost unlimited money can be obtained in the United 1 States foe enterprises which promise only after years to yield large returns. So we have the new war cry since 1840: "Protection of Ameriean.labor, a'gainst the pauper labor of Europe." Plainly the labor ing classes were beginning to acquire a conocioueness of their own existence as a distinct class in industrial so ciety, wily politicians thought it time k throw the workingman a BlsiaJr.l06 about 1840 we find the laoor against oueap iu.,-t rwwuu olace of the former rallying cfy, Protection to our miant industries. No doubt for party purposes it was an immense . improvement. At pro ceeded upon the hypothesis that the American employer must pay more, than his European competitor for labor, and that the difference must be made up to him by a tax on foreign competitors, some, indeed, with a nice air oi accuracy, claiming it as a scientific principle -that dutieB should be precisely such, in every instance, as to equal the difference in cost of labor. It is assumed that if duties fall American labor must also fall in price, and, like European labor, be come pauper labor. One manifest superiority in ihia new plea is that it does not advocate duties as something temnorarv. but as something to en dure as long aa American labor is "dear" and foreign labor is "cheap," Another is the benevolence wrapped no in it. and not merely benevolence It is benevolence of a superior and unique sort ! Benevolence often means sacrifice on the part of him who exeicises it. as when I wear an old coat that I may help educate the orphan child of an old friend. Not so the benevolence of the protective tariff, for it is warranted never to take a penny front the pockets cf its most devoted adherents. They may live in palaces, eat the choicest cuts of roast beef, drink champagne and be merry while their bank accounts swell l Have they not done their part T Are they not the representatives oi proj ection to American labor t i But is American labor, after all, E radical t IVet us go at once to the eart of things. If I have anything to sell it is conceivable that I may be helped in two ways by government. To say that I want to sell a thing iiHan? simply that I want to get some thing else for it. I sell that I may buy. Money simply comes in as a aiblium. A farmer sells corn for money, and with that money Duys shoes. Corn is really exchanges ior shoes, and money is used as a medi um merely to facilitate exchange. Now if the government in some way can increase the supply of those things which I wish to buy I may be benefited. More will be oneied me for what I have to sell. Oa the other hand if government can diminish the supply of the article I want to sell. I can get more for it, and I am benefited. How stands tne case with the wsge receiver? What haB he to aoill The commodity labor, and nothing else. With that com modity he must purchase all other tLiDgs. Now what is government Jjicy: for himt Is government ren during Ubor c;irce and commodities plentiful? On the contrary no duty is put on labor. Labor comes in free. Not only that; Our protectionists are helping to inereaae tho supply of la Lur. and to keep its price down. Do not iha protectionist uu.plojtrs keep ILeir agtntfl in evtiy part of Europe to tolp swell the throng cf those coming to our shotes, and in case of demand for higher wages, to take the nlace of the discontented? Stranirt? Yti ;t is all true- TAe J commodity which ths laborer has U sell u not protected All that government does i to lielp incrtatt its supply and thti keep down te price." R. T Ely, Ph.
