The Practical Operation of ProtectionWe adduced, last week, in illustration of the practical working of the policy of protection, several cases from the recent history o! Europe. One of them showed by indisputable facts how Prussia, and the other States of the "Zollverein" or "'Tariff Union," had developed from depen. dents of England into her rivalp, quadrupling the income of the inhabitants per lie^d, as well as the number of workingmen, while the population nearly doubled —rising, in the case of Prussia, from 10, 000,000 to 17,000,000-and at the same time vastly increasing the growth of agriculture by the demands of the home market thus created. And this, after four yea experience of free trade, following the downfall of Napoleon I., had demonstrated that the choice lay between protection and ruin. English cheap good.*, after 1814, crushed home manufactures, threw the people back upon agriculture as the same policy did here, to some extent, after it had been fairly established by thp Democratic tariff of 1846—and so paralyzed national industry and restricted its resources that, cheaply as the government was managed, it had to make loans con tinually. Grain was exported to pay for work that could have been done at home, if even lightly protected, and the grain, having to compete in a market supplied from the United States, Egypt, Russia and Italy went but a little way to balance the indebtedness for goods. Money was constantly and heavily drained off, and business stringency became a perpetual evil. Four years proved that this way of doing things must stop, and in 1818 protection of home industry, the division of labor into many pursuits, and the crea lion of home markets, became and has continued the policy of the country, with the results we have indicated. Now, Prussia, and all the German States, instead of being borrowers, are lenders, add a large part of our national debt is held by them. Russia was another instance in which free trade theories were honestly and perseveringly applied, by an Emperor who had been thoroughly indoctrinated with them, till ruin was too close to be tampered with longer, and an official circular of Count NESSEI,RO»E announced a change of policy a? a necessity. Our readers will remember the extract we reproduced last week.

A more striking inslance than either of these is furnished by the history of the manufacture of "beet-3Ugar" in France and Germany. This industry is now one of the prime elements of the prosperity of those countries. Its capital and its products are among the most important of their possessions. And it is an absolute creation of Protection. Neither country possessed any unusaal resources or advantages for it, yet Protection has so fully developed skill in connection with it, that it is now able to compete with cane sugar, and even to beat it (no pun meant), for it is placed at a disadvantage of a half a cent a pound in exportation abroad. It is a perfect and irrefragable proof of the primary importance of skill to the establishment of manufactures, and therefore a practical refutation oI the Free Trade ^-doctrine thut manufactures will develop themselves spontaneously when abundant capital has been accumulated. And it is a proof, too, that skill thus developed, soon reduces ccst so great ly that Protection becomes unnecessary that "school days" being over,"there is no further need of paying school bills Beet-sugar now supplies the home consumption of the European continent in a great measure. In France and Germany it does so entirely, and supplies a large part of that of Russia and Austria. It is just a? good, in every respect, as refined cane sugar. No difference is perceptible to the eye, the taste, or to chemical analysjs. The two are absolutely identical. It can be refined from the first product as easily a? cane sugar, and thousands of tons are thus refined in England every year, in direct competition with the tropical product. It can be refined directly, in a continuation of the process of its iirst production, so as to present an ar tide every way as desirable as the ordinary "loaf," and it is cheaper.

We need not trace the history of the manufacture from the time ACHORD first demonstrated its practicability, and was offered a handsome sum by the English to disavow his results, because they dreaded —and prophetically, too, for there is no keener prophet than cash—its interference with their West India product. It will 8ii.3ice to follow it from the time that its protection became the permanent policy of the governments interested in it. We will take that of France, as the facts regarding it are more fully given in official documents. 1st. On the point of the effect of protection in developing skill: The tax laid upon beet sugar in 1S14 was three and a half cents a pound, that upon foreign sugar was five cents a pound, a difference of one and a half cents in favor of the domestic product. Not a very high protective fence, one would think, but it was enough. Previously but fifty percent, of the saccharine matter of the beet had been obtained, and but three to four per cent, of sugar and five of molasses, at a cost of seven cents a pound, while the manufacture was regarded of no national value. In ten or twelve years the yield of sugar was increased, by the increased skill developed by protection, to five per cent, and the cost reduced to five and a half cents per pom1*'

The

manufacture became

important. In 183G there were 436 factories in operation, and it was noticed particularly that the demand left no unimproved lands in their neighborhood. Farmers sold beets at a high price, fed their cattle on the pulp, which they bought for a trifle, and with the result fertilized their lands for still more profitable crops. The whole business ran in a circle of reciprockl advantage to the manufacturer and the farmer. Now skill has advanced to the point of obtain^ ing nearly ninety per cent, of sacharine matter from the beet instead of fifty, and eight, and a half per cent, of sugar instead of three or three and a half. Skill has doubled the product from the same material, apd in* creased skill in cultivation has improved the quality of the material. All the capital in all the gold mines of the earth would never have made abundant or cheap sugar in France, without theskiil attained bjUhe help of protec tion. Let us see the aggregate result:

France now cultivates, in beets, 300,000, acres of ground, where, at the start, she cultivated lefs than 5,000 and even in 1850, but 86,000. This diversity of products gives the wheat and grain farmer a larger market, and, at the same time, reduces the competition with him. These 300,000 acres yield 2,106,000 tons of beets, from which are made 270,000 tons of first-class sugar two and one-third per cent, of molasses distilled into three fourths of one per cent, of alchohol one-fifth of one per cent, of polish, and one tenth of one per cent, of soda, besides the "expressed pulp," which is sold for cattle feed to farmers at about three dollars a ton, and three tons is considered equal to one ton of the best hay. This is all the work of Protection. Without that help beet sugar could never have become

BASE BALL.

A Few Thoughts on the Professional Player.

From the New York Times.] There has grown up within the past two or three years a class-of men who make their livelihood wholly by playing base ball matches. The professional player, aside from his private character, is not precisely a majestic object. It may not be incumbent upon any man to lead a life of really productive industry, but it certainly seems as though one might find some other occupation than hiring oneself to win matches for the .Black Stockings and White, Blue Stockings and Gray, who claim to be exponents of the national game. Evidently the professional player himself sympathizes with this view, for except when compelled to play during the summer season, he keeps himself modestly out of sight in those quiet retreats connected with bars, end not free from a suspicion of rat-pits, where the sporting men of the metropolis meet for socia.1 improvement and unpremeditated pugilism. Not to put too fine a point upon it, the professional player, though doubtless ococcasionally an honest, inoffensive fellow, is usually a worthless, dissipated gladiator not much above the professional pugilist in morality and respectability. Not only does the ..iiiployment of these men in a match game render she result simply a question of money, for the club which can afford to hire the best players is of course the winners, but it opens the way to dishonest and fraudulent practices. The professional player can, if he choose, insure the defeat of the side on which he plays. It is only necessary for the gambler who h£8 large sums at stake to buy him, in order to make certain of winning his bets. That this is frequently done, any one who reads the report ot the quarrels which usually follow an important match game, will find abundant reason to believe. The professional player thus makes the game an instrument in tb: hands of gamblers, and so brings it into deserved disrepute.

THE English girls are noted for their health, good sense, and good looks, but dance they cannot. True, they hobble and waddle about on the stage, and go through the figures, but their performing bears about the same relation to the graceful, fairy-like movements of their French sisters as those of the clumsy, slow-paced truck horse do to the steps of the fleet-footed racer. In Paris one of the famous jokes is to burlesque the English dancing. Of course, the French girls have to pad considerably to get up to the average ol English feminine solidity, and they waddle out on the stage somewhat in duck-fashion. Then they dance as if heavy weights were attached to each limb, attendants with handkerchiefs being present, who, in the pauses wipe off the perspiration brought to the dancers' faces by what must be very hard work. The French laugh convulsively when at these performances, and though the thing is overdone, the caricatures suggest the truth. It is evident that Providence never meant that

English dames should indulge much with the light fantastic toe, but should be content with good, simple, solid amusement of another sort. Although much more money is expended in getting up spectacles in England than in France, it is wonderful how much more brilliancy appears in the French pieces. It is said that nothing ever witnessed in England can at all compare with the humor and display with which they bringrf)Ut King Carrot, which, on account of the burlesque of Napoleon III in it, baa a European reputation. People are made up to represent all the vegetables of the garden, and all the insects that feed upon them, in exquisite perfection of fancy, even the touches of green at his knees assisting to give King Carrot his vegetable character. There is nothing on the French stage which approaches the coarseness ot "The Black Crook," but some of the actors wear scarcely a suspicion of clothe«, and it requireaa powerful magnifying glass todiscocer the gauze which is the only coveri»g of one beautiful girl. Victor Hugo and other French writers attribute the French fondness for the nude to their child-like innocence and classic taste, inherited with their Greek blood. Mr, Conway suggests that if this be the true

nn important industry, or any industry at explanation, the Eve angelic age of Eden

jl I cannot be far off in Paris.—Golden Age. Now let us look at the second point, the reduction of cost corresponding to the increase of skill. In 1816 sugar cost twelve and one-half cents a pound in 18'24 it cost ten and one-half cents in 1854 it cost five and four-fifths cents in 1802 it C03t five and one-fifth cents in 1S65 it cost five cents before the late wa' it was down to four and one-half ceo®, a price that would astonish us, who have to pay twelve at wholesale. Wouldn't we be a little better off to-day if we had pursued France's policy, and were supplying ourselves entirely with our own sugar at 4J- cents, instead of paying Cuba and Jamaica for it at 19 to 12? Wouldn't we have got the whote cost of protection back long ago? France has doubled her product and reduce* the cost every ten years since" 1840: Germany has quadrupled her protect since 1850. They are both independent of the tropics, affected by no n'arket pressures abroad, able to keep tieir sugar money at home, and buy morrwith it than they could get abroad, and at the same time vastly increase the fcrmers market, the agricultural ind«stry of the country, and the means «f employment and subsistence for working men. ''Free trade" would have left both countries precisely where they were in 1816, and all the capital in creation could not have helped them ahead without the protection that enabled them to acq.iire skill. They paid but little ichool money," comparatively, and they find the return enormous. Like all money laid out in practical education, it was a most profitable investment. Free trade tolerates none such.

THE most eloquent prayer "ever ad dressed to a Boston andienca" has become historial and proverbial. It has its fit successor, is even eclipsed by the following vecent utterance before the Massachusetts House of Representatives, by the Rev. W. H. Cudworth, Chaplain of that body. It is Baid to have been "inspired" by a railroad bill then under discusssion. It certainly lacked inspiration of any higher kind. We quote: "All Thy works praise Thee, Architect Divine, in all Thy dominion. We rejoice before Thee to-day, that although fire and water mingled produce antagonism, from that antagonism we derive power and progress most promotive of human welfare and-.we pray, amid the fire and water of opposing convictions touching a great common interest under consideration, that the throttle-valve of circumstances may start a power among us which shall force the driving wheel of opportunity along the broad highway of human good, until that grand democratic terminus is reached— the greatest good of the greatest number. Amen 1"

It would have been to the credit of the Legislature had it taken some action to indicate its disgust with such irreverent twaddle. Peruap.i, however, it found ad« mirers. If this was the case, the "culture" of the Bay State has deteriorated.—Cin. Gazette.

What Makes Men.

It is not the best things—that is, the things which we call best—that make men it is not the pleasant things it is not the calm experiences, its tempest, its trials. The discipline of life is heregood and there evil, here trouble and there joy,r here rudeness and there smoothness, one working with the other: and tbealterna~ tions of the one and other which necessitate adaptions and constitute that part of education which make sa man a man. In distinction from the animal, which has no education, the successful man invariably bears the mark of the struggles which he has had to undergo, on his brow.
