Intelligence is becoming ton general for the people longer to swallow the sugarcoated pill labeled “protection to Ameruan labor," but tv Inch is little else thau protection to American capital. The folly of the “infant industry” business IS becoming more apparent year after year. It it only excelled by tliat greater fraud, the pretense that American workingmen receive higher wages as a result of I irotectiou Every sensible workuigmau luovvs that he is in competition with the labor market of the world, his only protection being the cost of ocean transportation; and that is but a trilling barrier since ths organization ip Luropa of emigration societies. Nobody disputes that protection is a good thing tor many manufactures—tiiough not for all— as It nrevenls foreign competition and brings higher prices, while not increasing the cost ot production. AH the talk ot protection lowering prices, Jn itself, except in isolated cases where there existed monopoly or other abnormal conditions, is the merest humbug. If that were thu object and efieot of protection, the manufacturers would be the hardest kickers against it. Tne comparison of prices now with puces before the Morrill tariff act of I860, indulged in by protec'ion lournals, proves notning, for prices are still lower in Europe, and that not alone in free-trade countries, but in jirotection countries as well. it is said men will not engage in manafacturiug It they are not assured of good profits If by good profits they mean from three to eight profits, we say let them stay out of maunfacturiue then. \Vhv should one class of men—and a mone}ed class at that—ask for special,legislation to guarantee to them euorraous profits, to be paid by the other classes of citizens of the samo countrv ’ If the Govfernment is to discriminate In matters of legislation, in God’s name give the poor the benefit, instead of

the rioh.

We hone to see the Republicans in both State ana national convention take a more moderate position on this question. If they do not their name is Dennis, for however strong pai tv prejudice mav be, it will not be strong enough to hold the tens of thousands of taritt-reform Republicans, who will refuse to be plaved for suckers any longer.

Humane Treatluent of Turtle*. I Our Animal Friends | Live turtle dealers, doing business at Fulton and other maikets, have been kept busy by the otficers of the society lately iii heeding vvuriiings not to abuse the animals; also to provide for their comfort while on exhibition for sale. President Haines insists tliat when sate to do so, the fins of the turtles should ba lett free, and bags of sawdust, or other rests, be put under their bca<ls so that the poor creatures mav be made as conilortable as po-s/ble. “I would not have a turtle in my place," exclaimed a prominent dee'er in such animals, “if it were not lor the demand fur them: but the turtle soup con-uinera are, lu uiv opinion, getting less and les* every vear" Beveral restaurant keener* have also been warned against keeping turtles Iving on their backs, exposed to the weather and the torments of strest gamins for au indvfinita period.

fresh lease of life in modem times aud

' among Euglisb-speaking people because the

British constitution os such has never been

^ reduced to the form of a charter or code, j Yet ths theory although old u in rewlitr . only saperficiallv truo. Coustitatiooal de- ! vciopment under a wrttten constitution,

wholly apart from the regularly provided

> meihod of amendment, is as possible and as

far-reaching aa the growth of au entire system of law from the luterprcUtioo of a

' single act ot Parliament like the statute of

fra ads or the statute of hm tationa. The written constitution is developed by

I interpretatiuD and bv fact* just like the un-

written constitution. The only diflfereuce 18 that the former develops wittiin eertaio specified forms while tne other is wholly unrestrained except by habiu and cu»L>ms. The result is much the «anie lu eiflisr case In the hands of the English-speaking people, with their genius tor gorernuieiit and their distrust of ready-made systems, any constitution,whether it be a written charter or an uiicodified oody of laws and customs, IS sure to be developed and adapted to tlu process of time to fit tae cliangiug conditions as well as the growth aud the needs

of the people.

Thiafaitis well illustrated bv the history of the constitution of the Un ted States It has been the chief merit of that great instrument tnat it has pioved itseli capable ot development while at the same time It has held tast tha futidumeutal principles on which It was based. Direct amendment of the constitution by As own machinery is now almost impossible, and yet, while it ever retaius its vast and inval uable conservative influence, its wholesome development IS always in progress. Il has expanded here and restrained there, and thus far, as a whole, has worked admirabiv and fulfilled its purposes with a success lit tie dreamed of at the outset. Indeed, if the framers of the constitution cou/d examine their work to-day they would prob ably be amazed at the manner in which it has met the needs of a great people by •lowly broadening from precedent to precedent under the interpretations of courts, and gradually coutormiug, without distortion, to the logic of facta. in acme directions the constitution has developed, in others it has reuiaiued miobanged, while in others still it has ceased to he practically operative because although the form reuiauied, the substance has been found to be unfit fur existing conditions. It 18 of a provision of the last class, one ol those clau^ much valued by the Iramers, but lon^ since abandoned except in name, that 1 wish to speak here. * Ihe two great opposing torces ia the convention of 1787 <veie the National on the one side aud the Separatist or State-rights on the other. The compromises between these two torces in the luuiii loruied tlie constitution. Hut there were also other strong currents of opinion lu the convention winch d<d not run at all on the Name lines as the National aud Beparatut theories, but winch had, uevertheleks, a profound influence:! upon the final result. One of these was the deep-seated jealousy of executive power. The executee power in all the colonies had represented England Hence executive and outside power had become equivalent m the American miud and consequently were subjects of suspiuoa and distrust, and appeared to demand careful Inn tation. Another stroug sentiment lu the convention, springing from the natural cousenatism of the race, was against unchecked action anywnero. The new government was to be a republic and a democracy, but the framers felt that the ruling theory of checks and balances ought to be applied to the source of all power, as in every other direction. The will of the people was to be supreme, but it was to be expressed lu sucli a vray as to secure deliheiatiou and calm judgment and to avoid all rt'k* of rfisb or haitv decisions. Thu was the eontrolling idea of the plan finally adopted for the choice of Presivlent and Vioc-Fresident. The besa> method of making thu choice was the subject of long and anxious disciusiou. Practically everybody was against referring tne choice of the chief magistrate to a direct vote of the people. Only one State, in tact, voted for it. On the other hand every Btate voted that the President should he elected by Congress, 'vliich Governor Morns opp a d wall lar-secing wudoni^s opening the road to lutiique, corruption ai.d cabal. Tina plan wus tiuallv adopted, however, aod want to the committee of detail. btiil it was not quite satisfactory and for It was substituted tne plan of electoral colleges. usually attributed to Hamilton, which was adopted by the convention and ratihed afterward by the Biates. Thu new plan of electors was certainly ingenius and u also solved the dithcuities ot the convention It did away with the direct popular vote aud avoided at the same time the evils of a choice by Congress. The electors wece to be chosen in each State in numbere equal to th* Representatives and Senators of the State in Congress. On a given day all the electors chosen in all tha titates' were to meet in collega in aaob State and vote for President and Vice-President. Tha person having tha highest nnmbsr of votes in all the electoral eolieges of all the States was to be President aud the person having the next bigl^st was to be Vice-President. The theory was that the eleetora would be ths abisst'and beat tuen in each State, tliat they would meet in tbsir several colleges, and than, after dua dsliberation and discussion, removed os they were from Ihe hearts of popular and party conflict, would choose the first citizen of the Republic to be its President, in theory the scheme was a beantifol and perfect one. There was only one difficulty about it It would not work. Political parues aimed at the presideucv and human nature u so constituted that men could not cease to be partisona becaus^ they were chosen preeidential «le< tors. At the first election Washiogton was made President by the ccneral wish of the people. The electors simply registered the public wilL They czareued their own preference in regard to vi<upresident and chose John Adems. At the next election the electors again registered the popular will by voting for Wanhington os President, but in regard to Vice-President the failure of the electoral svstem even at that early day was apparent Party hnee were drawn, i'mperfeetly but still distinotiy. The Federalist eleetora voted for Adams and the Auti-Fedcraluts for Giinten. The power of choice hod proetioolly gone from the eieetora even then. The equal vote of Jefferson and Burr in 1800, and the struggle tbreatenioc civil war wQicb followed, to an amendment doing away with the provision giving the presidencT to the pmoa havtag the bighcat namber of Sectoral votea, and the vice presidency to the person having tba next hicbeat Ihe twelfth omendfMnt to the ooDstitution provides that the aleetors aball name in their bt.loto the peraon voted for ax Presi dent and the peraon voted for as Vice Presidcpt This change mode a repeti•ion of the danger of 1801 impoasible.

In one important point, moreover, tha electoral college baa a real and vital meaning The people ought to vote as thev alwavs nave for President and Vice-Presi-dent, by States. This is an important aud neeessadr application of the Federal principle, and It IS preserved by the eieetoral ro leges. At the same time the direct vote of the people for the chief magistrate ie obtained at well as it eould be in any. arrangement, for the electors long since ceased to eome between the people and the presmeney, and thev reallv register the popular will as directly as if the votes were given for President and Vice-Priatdeot without any intervention. flh-NRY Cabot Lodge
