~~ “ THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON BLAINE AND GLADSTONE. They Give the Public a Symposium on Protection vs. Free Trade. ‘The papers which appear in the current num- ber of the North American Review from the American Secretary of State and the British x-premier on protection and free trade will be eagerly read on both sides of the Atlantic. Mr. Blaine’s article follows that by Mr. Gladstone and reviews its salient points. Mr. Gladstone begins with on apology for in- terfering from across the water in such a con- troversy. Speaking of Great Britain, he say: “In order to try the question for this country t large whether free trade has been a curse or & blessing to the people who inhabit it, I shall repair atonce to our highest authority, Mr. Giffen of the board of trade. “The wages of miners, we learn, have in- creased in Staffordshire, which almost certainly is the mining district of lowest increment. by 50 per cent. In the great exportable manu- tures of Bradford and Huddersfield the lowest augmentations are 20 and 30 per cent. and in other branches they rise to 50, 83, 100 and even to150 and 160 per cent. The quasi- domestic trades of c rs, brick layers und Masons, in the great marts of Glasgow and} Manchester show a mean increase of 63 per cent for the first, 65 perceut for the second and 47 per cent for the third. “No such return at once exact and compre- hensive can be supplied in the case of the rural | Workman. But here the facts are notorious, We are assured that there has been a nnive rise, which Caird and other authorities place at 60 per cent. Mr. Giffen apparently concurs, and so far as my own personal sphere of obser- | vation reaches, I can with contdeuce confirm | the estimate and declare it to be moderate. To- | gether with the increase of pay, there has been & general diminution of hours of work. which Mr. Giffen places at one-fifth. If we make this correction upor the comparative table, we shall find that the cases are very few in which the in- | crement does not range as high as from £0 and toward 100 per cent. PRICES OF LIVING DECLINE. “Within the same period the prices of the main articles of popular consumption have not increased, but have certainly declined. The laborer’s charges, except for his abode, have actually diminished ax a whole. For his larger house rent he has a better Louse. To the gov- ernment be pays much less than be did and from the government he gets much more, and “the increase of bis money wages corresponds | tea real gain.” ARTIFICIAL CONDITIONS, “All interference with it (the natural law of trade) by a government in order to encourage some dearer method of production at home in | Preference to a cheaper method of production | abroad may fairly be termed artificial, And every such interference means simply « diminu- tion of the national wealth.

Mr. Parnell was served with a citation in the Parnell-O'Shea divorce case at 3 o'clock yester- corn at home for 50 shillings, with which regioa B can supply it at 40, and region B manufac- tures cloth at 20 shillings, with which region A can supply it at 15, the national wealth of each is dunimished by the 10 and the 5 shillings respectively, And the capitalists and laborers ofeach of these countries have so much the less to divide into their respective shares in | that competition between capital and labor | which determines the distribution between them of the price brought in the market by | commouities. WASTE AND ROBBERY. “Tn my view, and I may say for my country men in our view, protection, however dignified | by the source from which it proceeds, is essen- tially an invitation to waste, promulgated with | the authority of law. | “If protection could be equally distributed all round then it would be fair as between class tributed in any country until we ered a country which will not fin in exporting some commodity ir the price of that commodity at home mast be determined by price in foreign or unpro- tected markets, and, theretore, even if pi tion duties are inscribed on the statute books at home, their effect must remain absolutely | says: and class, but it cannot possibly be thus dis- | 7 have discov- | ¢, | greatly highe | doubt the fact, but I venture to suggest that paid good wages, and great investments and great enrichments followed the line of the new road, and opened to the American large fields for enterprise not heretofore accessible, << might ask Mr. Gladstone what he would have done with the jor of the thousands of men engaged in manufacturing rail if it had been judged practicable to buy the rail in England. Fortunately he has given bis answer in advance of the question, for he tells us that in America we produce more cloth and more iron at high prices, instead of more cereals and day afternoon, but made no remarks on the matter. The case will probably not be tried for four months, a Marie Halton Stays in London. Marie Halton, the Casino favorite, who quitted New York so suddenly in the midst of her success, denies that she has any intention of returning to America, She is living ina handsome suite of rooms at the Victoria hotel and is still under the protection of Joseph Lewis, the diamond merchaut, She has her diamonds and, naturally, horses, carriages and servants, and is arranging for a star comic opera company and a theater, eee A Royal Chaplain Gone Wrong. The sudden flight from London of Rev. Francis Byng, one of the chuplains to the queen, and also a chaplain to the house of commons, has caused a great sensation. The reverend gentleman has of late years indulged heavily in betting, and one book maker mourns his Joss to au amount that is ramored to touch the thousands, ‘The mouey lendera have lost a customer from whom they were always sure of 200 per cent. No news has been received from more cotton at low prices, THE QUESTION OF WAGES, “Mr. Gladstone makes another contention in which, from the American point of view, he leaves out of sighta controlling factor and hence refers an effect to the wrong cause. Re- garding the advance of wages in England, he Wages which have been partially and y higher under protection have be- zenerally and absolutely higher and under free trade.’ Ido not such advance in wages as there bas been in E dis referable to another and a palpable the higher wages in the United have coustautly tempted British | mechanics to emigrate and which would have | the clerical fugitive und the ivencial plane oy Deened. fs bes na Rarticalar article ix cou- | tempted many more if the inducement of an | tho incident was hot made known unul yostocs Corned. | It is beyond human wit and power to | advance in wages at home had not been inter- | day. secure to the cotton grower or to the grower of | posed.

MAXIMUM OF WEALTH. “Wealth is accumulation, and the aggregate of that accumulation depends upon the net surplus left by the price of industrial products after defraying out of them the cost of produe- tion. To make this surplus large is to raise Batural wealth to ite maximum, It is largest when we produce what we can produce cheap- est. It is diminished and the nation is so far impoverished whenever and wherever and to | whatever extent, under the cover of protective men are induced to produce arti ing 0 smaller surplus instead of articles leaving a larger one, but such is the essence of protec- tio: “In England (speaking roughly) it made us Produce more wheat at high prices instead of more tissues at low prices.

BALY PROTECTED AND HALF FREE. * - jow I want to ask whether the wages of the agricultural half are raised by the existence of protective laws which cover the artisan half. This you cannot possibly affirm, because it is an elementary fact that (given the Fegered of labor in the market) the w: the laborers are governed by the pric of the commodities they produce and that those prices Gre free trade prices, You have ‘tree trade toilers’ all over your country and by their side You have protected artisans. this question: Is the remune on of the ‘free trade toulers," all things taken into account, | equivalent to that of the protective artisans? 11 it is not why do not the agriculta where there is a demand tor ma: and miuing labor .~ by augmenti: ply reduce and + +5 ? Which is like | ing how comes it th . t with one loaf when two are offered him? The au- | Swer would be: He is not content; whenever he can he takes the two and leaves the one. It follows that in this case there exists no excess of wages for him to appropriate.

STEAMSHIP SUBSIDIES. “If it has been his belief ever since he became an advocate of free trade that all protec! morally bad his couscience must have received many and severe wounds, as session after ses- sion, while chancelior of the exchequer, he car- ried through parliament a bounty—may I not say indirect protection—of 180.000 pounds ster- ling to a line of steamers running between Englandand the United States—a protection that began six years before free trade was pro- claimed in English manufactures, and cou- tinued nearly twenty years after. “In nearly the whole period of twenty-five years an aggregate of many millions of dollars ‘was paid out to protect the English fine against all competition. It may be urged that this same was paid for carrying the Anglo-American mails, but that ergament will not avail a free trader, because steamers of other nationalities stood ready to carry the mail at a far cheaper fonte, Pa., yesterday by the announcement of the failure of Curtin & Co., iron manufacturers at Roland, a neighboring town.

It prints ALL THE NEWS, Local, Domestic and Foreign, LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN- ING PAPERS, This is conspicuousty true of all classes of news, but especially so in regard to Local News and District Attuirs, THE STAK has a very much LARGER and BETTER force of LOCAL KK- PORTERS and SPECIAL WRITERS than any other paper in Washington ever thought of employing, and ITS MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND PRINTING FACILITIES ARE MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS POWER- FUL AND RAPID AS THOSE OF ANY OTHER WASHINGTON PAPER. It is therefore able to print each day « full , Feport of every transaction of public ine jSerest occurring in the District up te the very hour of going to press. | By the free use of the OCEAN CABLES \for REGULAK AND SPECIAL DIS- PATCHES, and with the difference of time in its favor, it is also able to give its readers every afternoon the news of the WHOLE EASTEKN HEMISPHERE for the entire day, and up to 12 o'clock | midnight, thus leaving literally nothing | in the way of news from Europe, Asiag | and Africa for the morning papers. Equally does THE STAR lead all its contemporaries in the publication of the NEWS OF OUK OWN COUNTRY, Receiving the regular dispatches of both News Associations; with alert and enterprising special telegraphic cor- respondents at all important points; and with wires leading directly from its owa office to the general network of telegraph | system touching every city, town and hamlet in the United States and Terri- tories, it is enabled to receive and print atonce a full report of every event of consequence occurring during the day anywhere between the Atlantic and Pas cific Oceans. —o:. @ NOTE THE RESULT: 29 THE STAR HAS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR SUBSCRIBERS and MORE THAN HIVE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY PAPER IN WASHINGTON, It is de- livered regularly by careful carriers at the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE TAY ARE OVER, and it is thus read leisurely and thoroughly by EVEKY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY, They know that it prints all the news, and has only the interests of the people of the District in view, with no partisan measures to advocate, and no private schemes to forward. They know it, in short, tobe THE PEOPLE’S PAPER, and nothingelse. Asan ADVERTISING MEDIUM it is, therefore, ABSU- LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. It is in fact worth more as a means of reach- ing the public THAN ALL THE OTHER DAILY PAPERS IN THE CITY TOGETHER, Furthermore, in proportion to the re- turns it gives its patrons, ITS ADVER- TISING RATES ARE THE CHEAPEST IN THE CITY. Sebiee In conclusion, the public should bear in mind this one significant fact: THE SLAK does not rely upon empty boasts to impress the public. ITS CIRCULA- TION IS SWORN TO; its PRESS- ROOM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest in thelr examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which few papers invite, and which those that boust must are least able to stand. —o—— @ The esteem in which THE STAB 4s held by the reading and advertising public is conclusively shown by the fig- ures given below. In the first six months of each of the Equally significant is the showing in regard to the advertising patronage of the paper, which is the surest indication of its acknowledged value as a medium of publicity.
