The Effects of Protection. - There are so many practicable ob jections to protection that it seems strange that there should be any fin core advocate) of the principle in this a'i of itilcligcncound liberty. The New York Times, which is a Repub lican newspaper, puts the following cases before its readers, anil evcrv man in x the country, who wear breeches, ought to be able to appreci ate its force. The Times says : The New York Times publishes a comparison of the tlilference In the prices in New York and London of men's clothing, which no fair-minded reader can consider without acknowl edging the injustice of theoutrageoii!. system that makes such i diU'creuce possible: For instance, a broad-cloth dress suil which costs 50 in Xcw York costs only $22 in London. A heavy business suit which costs f.MJ in Ativ lorK costs but f I.I in London. A spring serge overcoat which costs flO fn New York costs but $8 50 in Loudon. A winter beaver overcoat which costs $:ij in New York costs but if II (!0 tn London. A k!Ik hat whli'h costs ,i in New York costs but $3 in London. These articles altogether cost lit New York fill). In London thov cost but The jmaii who buy- these clothes, therefore, in New Yorl pays 7!( more for them than he could buy them for in Loudon' What caucus this difference in the prices of the two cities 1 Our larilV. No one will dispute that with the lurid' removed llie same goods could le purchased as cheaply In New York as in Loudon, at least as cheaply plus the freight rates between 111 two cities. .- The man who pays, therefore, 1 '.Q for clothes iu New Yolk reallv luvs woriliof clothes, on which he pays 4?J taxes. . And where do thusu taxes go? if the goods ara luaiiufactureil lu this country not one cent reaches tho treasury. It is simply $79 taken by law from thu man who buys $G1 wort li of clothes, and given to the man who grow s wool ami the in.. n who makes cloth. If 4he goods arc manufactured abroad 7U goi's to a treasury which does not need it,- and whidr can rail) nil llm revenue it requires-on whiky, tobacco and articles of lux ury. In either case the purchaser of the chillies jjots absolutclv nothing for the $79 of the $110 which he spends, II on buying the clothes lie had to pay $01 to the clothier, and $79 di redly to a lax collector, how long would he stand such extortion? Iu result there is not a pnrticlo of dilfcrence between that system am the present tariff svstem, according to which he is thus unnecessarily aim exorbitantly taxed, not only on his clothing but on nearly every oth er necessity of life. How long will the people of a coun try which claims to be free submit to this legalized robbery, which those who uphold it, aro pleased to call a "protective" tariff?

Pol ite himself hath said it. At least his organ, thu National Republican, has said it, and all the republican papers repeat It, and all the 'faithful are ex pected to believe if, and they say they do believe, and yet no one believes it. His organ says "ho is content forest his case ou the merits of his adminis tration." Would not that be a small point lo rest on? What has his ad ministration done? At home it lias worked tho appointments fo office on what MacVeagh calls the principles of practical politics. Us department of justice has been a . public scandal. Its pretended prosecution of robbers of. the . government, . coin promised with the great ones, and selected the smaller for prosecution for personal reasons. lis navy department lias been v assailed by tho organs of his own party as ruled by jobbery, and the secretary is generally regarded a chosen becauso of his experience and ability in working the political ma chine. In international affairs it has got into disgrace all round tho world It sacrificed Peru, got tho coutcmpt Of both Peru and Chili, and then abandoned the field to European powers.
