The Practical Operation of Protec tian. Some two weeks ago we examined the fundamental axiom of Free Trade, that "a nation would spontaneously establish manufactures when it had, by the pursuit of other occupations to which its natural

conditions better adapted it, accumulated capital enough to allow it to look about for new investments and to bear the losses and uncertainties of experiments." We showed that it was fallacious in assuming capital to be the indispensable requisite and in placing skill and availability. of resources out of the case, or too slightly in it to affect theresult! We argued that skill was the prime necessity, and the pol icy of pursuing agriculture, or commerce as a means of attaining the condition in which manufactures are inevitably devel oped, was about as wise and certain as the policy of learning to swim by sedulously practising skating. A man don't learn to "puddle" iron by following the plow Skill, like other forms of education, must be acquired slowly and expensively, and at the hazard of many failures. The nation that desires it has lo pay for it, as a man lias io pay for his knowledge of arithmetic and geography. He may be rich enough to employ the knowledge of other men, and never suffer seriously from his own deficiency, and a nation may be rich enongh to employ the skill of other nations, but in both cases the chances 'of evil from such dependence are unpleasantly big. No man and no people are so safe as they who are sufficient unto themselves, and no man and no people can feel the full pride of manhood and of the development of the powers God lias given them, who must depend for any indispensable support or use of life, upon others That "brotherhood of mankind" which enthusiasts dream rf as the result of mutual international dependence, may come with the Millennium, but till then, the policy that makes a nation self-dependent and selfsustaining, is the policy of wisdom, and that policy compels us to pay for the knowledge that makes us free. Protection is the fee which the laws of Nature inexorably demand for its acquisition. We may defy any Free Trader to find an instance in history of a nation that successfully encountered the competition of older manufacturing nations without the' help of Protection.

England, by centuries of pursuit of manufacturing has attained a skill and consequent reputation that will overbear any uskilled competition, however abundantly aided by capital. Did she attain it by grain-growing and stock-raising?— Not a .bit of it. She protected everything by such duties as we of the United States never dreamed of. ,She paid such a school-bill as no nation has'ever paid.— An act of CHARLES lit. required every corpse to be buried in woolen goods, and fined the officiating clergyman at 'tlio funeral if he did not file, with' the'dearest magistrate, a certificate of conformity to the act, within eight days. Leeds and its gigantic cloth factories are the fruit of this policy. So d«eipiy engaged was the interest of the Government in the protec tion of wool, that it required the official seat of the Lord Chancellor to be made of that material, ancf it is called the Wool Sack," to this day. Iron was guarded with equal care. liie whole monstrous fabric of British Industry is the work of careful and persistent protection-

:Now

she feels

able to dispense with thB hedge that guarded her half-akilled lahor, and she calls on all the world to tear down their fences. If we suggest that what proved so good for her won't hurt us, her econo mists and theorists and statesmen tell that we are silly to pay to acquire skill for ourselves whicft she will" furnish at much less cost.

That dependence on others for the fruits of skill, is, in the end, an unmixed evil, and that self-dependence, though costly, is finally profitable, tile German States give us a most convincing proof. In 1810, Napoleon, not so much to develop industry as to distress Enghirid, established a protective policy for '^l ikeGerman States in his Empire, inofudibgjl Prussia. Manufactures speedily began to appear, and promised well but, in four years, Napoleon was overthrown, and his policy abandoned. The effect was, that the country was flooded with cheap English goods, the growing man-i ufact'ures were prostrated, industry driven baok upon the -barren field of agriculture, was unproductive, and thegeneral distress wis so great that, in four years more, 1818, the policy of protection was restored. Now, see the result. In 1S06, before Napoleon's system was introduced, Prussia, with a population of 10,000,000, had 480,000 free laborers, $200,000,000 of manufacturing investments, and the average annual in-.' income of the people was over $10 each. Fifty years after, with 17,000,000 of inhabitants, the average annual income of each was $42, the. manufacturing capital $770,000,000, and the number of free laborers 2,771,000. Does any sane man imagine that this change could ever have been made if England's older skill and cheaper products had been allowed to stifle industry op to 1856, as they did np to 1818? Forty years ago Prussia exported most its wool and bought its woolen goods. Now protection has made wool so valuable that it imports great quantities, and pockets the profit of ttiming it into cloth.

than forty years ago she sold all her rags abroad and bought all her paper. Now she makes all her paper and imports thousands of tons of rags. Protection has made her cast-off qlothing a source of wealth, of industry, and of sustenance to thousands of her people. Prussia now rivals England in iron work, and sur passes her in steel. The great establishment of KRUPP, at Easen, has no equal in Birmingham. Who will say that Prus sia has done a silly thing to acquire the Bkill that lias produced this prosperous condition of industry, by paying the tui« tion fee of "protection?" It is to be particularly noted here, for the edification of the blatherskites who tell farmers tha protection, is a discrimination against' them and against agricultural products, that' the American Encyclopedia, the best authority we have, says "a great part of this increase belongs to agricultural production, the progress of which has been stimulated by the increase of domestic consumption." Let farmers put that fact in a comfortable' pipe and smoke it flectively. Protection creates new industries, increases consumption of food, and furnishes "new markets to the farmer right at his door, "instead of sending himi across the Atlantic to take his5 chance with corn from the Black Sea, and wheat from the Baltic. I®

Russia gives us another even" more striking illustration. Alexander I, fully imbued with the speculative free trade idea of Mr. STORCH, an early and able advocate of the policy of pursuing, agri culture in order to learn how to roll iron and spin cotton, did what an jbon^t man should, put them into operation, by'a free trade ukase, which very nearly ruined the country. English cheap goods run out less skilled home competition, and Count NESSELRODE, in announcing a contem plated change to protection in-a "govern ment circular," said that "Bussia was forced to a system of independent cam merce, that manufactures were exceeding lv depressed that the coin of the country wa3 rapidly flowing out, the most solid mercantile establishments endangered and agriculture and commerce, as.well aa manufacturing industry, hot 'ohly paralyzed, but brought to the brink of ruin." Russia to as killing herself to feed England, under the delusion that because she got English goods a few gents cheaper, she was making money and accumulating wealth. The industry that she could pursue without protect'on, her agriculture, was inadequate. Its income would not support everybody, and consequently there wa§ suffering. English cotton goods at half price was np compensation The Czar stood by his experiment about seven years. Then, in 1824, a ch aoge was made as indicated in NESSELRODE'S cir ctilar. English goods were not allowed to monopolize the market., Russia protected her industry, and thus diversified

She made new markets for grain and meat, and kept her money at home. She tried both ends of the economical system and a bitter experience told.her which was th& most expensive. It told us the sameifhing in 1850—'52, when the tariff of 1846 had put,our iron manufacture at tjhe mercy of England, extinguished all our furnaces, stopped our mills, and removed all restraint upon English prices. The consequence was that we paid more fo'r a ton of Scotch pig thairwe had before paid for a ton of Pennsylvania pig. The practical operation of protection is its best argument in the main/though isolated cases of hardships may and do occur. We may adduce, hereafter, a still more irrefragable argument from facts, than those we have cited. ,i"f ...

A CORRESPGNBIENT of the New York "Her'ald,"'who has been making a tour OF political observation in the South, writes from Atlanta "As regards the passive policy adVocated, I do not think that meets with much favor in theSouth. Trilmbull will scarcely prove an acceptable candidate, to the Southern people, while under no circumstances whatever, would they accept Bum net Hostility to Sumner'doesnot 4eed any explanation.

The Commissioners just appoint estigate the management |f our

organizetl charities have had the K^S of two hundred and forty charitable institu tions put into their bands. Those which tire under Stale control possess real and personaiflroperty amounting in the aggregate to nearly"len millions. Offer ar million dollars WCTB expended for paupers in our poor-houses last year, and half a million was expended upon^ orphan asylums and homes for the, friendless The property held by the orphan asylums and "homes" under their inspec tion, amounted to the large sum of $8,415,770 while their annual cxpendiurea were $2,309,421^ and the whole numier of persons supportfed.in them amounted to 21,470. The State hospitals received $299,000, and treated 10,785 pa» tients the dispensaries received $95,400, and their benefits reached 284,047 people. These figures indicate what a vast interest is covfered bv the word charity in our day and though now and thlen the funds are misapplied, and hypocrisy crawls into the nest provided for migforv tune, still it is better to feed a half dozen pretenders than to let one deserving unfortunate starve. We are proud of our organized charity but it needs to be supplemented by an organized prevention of the need of charity. Our charities are under a precipice to pick, hp those who faH we want a fence of hano«r a walkofhearts, a cordon of tender: helpful sympathies to keep anyirom falling.

From the New York Sun.] COL. FISK'S CANARY BIRDS-

Auction Sale of Prince Erie's PetsCot Fisk, Jr., Selling for $16.25— Jay onld for $8.59—Qen. Grant for $7.50—And ffm.M. Tweed for .for $6—An Actress Paring $1,500 for theColonel's Haste Box.

Five hundred persons assembled in the Art Rooms, at 587 Broadway, yesterday morning. Each individual was iptent on purchasing one of those birds belonging to the late .Tames Fisk, Jr. The sale began at 11 o'clock, and the little songsters, as they listened to the sonorous tones of .the auctioneer, chirped merrily. Tbe^ birds numberea 250, and all excej^t a few had formerly been* attractive objects on the Narragansett line of steamers. That fact no doubt induced many to purchase.

Promptly? on time .the first bird was taken from the'hook, and $2, $3, $4, $5. were'bid in rapid succession, andit was finally knocked down to a Mr. Seixas for $6. Nearly

:ail

the birds had been named'

by their.owner. They were numbered from 1 to 150, and sold in regular order No. 3, Crazy Bill, brought $7, Charley Williams, $5.50: Ilumpty Dumpty, $6 50 Old Billy, $650 Beauty,: $575 Col.

J. T. Jones,was" the buyer-.)

A number of birds were sold at 914, $12, $11, $10, $9, and $8, the finest singers bringing •-. usually the highest prices.

At 12:45 the music box, with a'working model of the steamer Providence attached, made.'to order and wrought in solid silver and gold, and costing $2,500, was. put up. The first bid was. $4, decidedly a small figure, taking into consideration the original cost. This was raised to $500. Other, bids followed until was reached. Then the sale rested.

At 3 o'clock bidding was resumed and the splendid trinket was finally knocked down to Miss Nullie Pierris, ah actress and sipger at the Grand Opera House, for $1,500.

The cages containing the birds were of gilt brass, very .handsome, and worth at •least $5 each. The prices realized for birds and cages ranged from $4 75 to $16 25. The net proceeds for the day will fall but a few dollars short of $3,000.

FROM a lengthy editorial in the Terre Haute "Express," we select a few paragraphs, which we commend to the

thoughtful attention of Republicans in this part of the State. We

f%re

confident

that no unprejudiced voter, who has watched the course of the Missouri Senator for the past year, can fail to realize the justice of the criticisms of the "Ex press," notwithstanding their severity In the French arms, controversy,' Schurz and Sumner wer^ unmasked. They now stand before the people in the attitude of men who attempted to damage their country in. order to avenge their private personal griefs against the President. No one claims for President Grant' that he has,made no mistakes, but we jda not.be1 ieve so glaring a blunder ,^as. ever comr initteil by him, as that of the distinguished Senators in the scandal concerning the sale of arms to the French agents. With ihe facts produced in the discussion and investigation of this matter, before the people, the Senators can no longer play the role of independent Republicans, performing duty regardless of party,. They are jb,ow

simply men fkptiously hostile to

a. President they personally dislike.— ^vansville Journal
