THE FRUITS OF PROTECTION.

[Boston Herald.] Protection is not protecting in Fall River. With the McKinley tariff in full operation they have announced the intention to cut down wages there. The reason is that, with all this vaunted interference by the Government, the mills can make no money. So stockholders suffer, and workmen, who were told that this tariff was to raise their wages, see only the reduction of wages in prospect. Such experience as this is enough to cause a yearning for the flush times in Fall River of 1850 to 1860, when, under the lowest tariffs of a half-century, stock inc eased in value and wages were raised simultaneously. The Republican representative of Fall River in Congress of that day showed his appreciation of the benefits of this policy to his constituents by leading off among the Massachusetts members in favor of the lowest of the low tariffs of that period.— We have changed all 'hat now, and with changed results, such as have moved us to write this paragraph. In a recent letter from Judge D. P. Baldwin to the Indianapolis News, from London, he relates the following scrao of conversation between himself and a resident of that city, and his comment on the s’.me: I had heard so much about the sorrow and anger of England abo t the McKinley tariff that I brought that subject on the carpet. “Pshaw” said he ‘Thiais all nonsense; if the United States want

to tax themselves to death why should we care? It looks to me that you are the parties injured, and notes." And thatis the truth about the matter. The talk about England’s distress over our tariff laws or England’s striving to break down our industries is the worst kind of rot. — If we can stand a GO per cent, tariff tax England can.
