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?

Arthur on his Merits.
Arthur is doing no wirepulling or
pipe-laying for (he nomination. 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

Its pretended prosecution of robbers

the secretary is generally regarded a
chosen becauso of his experience and
ability in working the political ma
chine. In international affairs it has

It sacrificed Peru, got tho coutcmpt
