THE NEW FREE TRADE CHAMPION.
Tub Free Trado League boasts that It is now
well supplied with funds, and it has commonecd
an actire campaign against protection. It has
found a new champion in a Mr. Atkinson, who
claims to be a New England cotton manufac
turer. This gentleman was introduced to an
audience of New York free-traders on Monday
evening by the veteran lender of the League,
Mr. Bryant, in a speech setting forth that the
new convert has taken his present position "not
merely Inscauso he considers it a duty which hq
owes to philanthropy," but also becauso he
thinks "the abolition of these imposts would be
a great benefit to the trade and manufacturers
of the country."
We fear that this introduction, though it was
doubtless well intended, brands Mr. Atkinson as
a black sheep in the flock of disinterested and
Iwnevolcnt beings who have heretofore been
advocating free trade as a purely philanthropic
measure, and who have been careful to keep
in the background the social, professional, and
business connections which induced their pre
ference of British interests to the industrial
welfare of the manufacturers and workmen of
the United States. It is gratifying to know,
however, that the mask of hypocrisy has been
thrown off the face of at least one of their
associates, and if the Free-trade League or Mr.
Atkinson could be induced to make one more
candid confession, and apprize the world that
there is a strong disposition to combine the inte
rests of the manufacturers of old England with
those of a certain portion of the manufacturers
of New England In a common warfare upon
the struggling industries of the Middle, Western,
and Southern States, they would explain the
whole mystery of what appears to be, at first
Mush, an unnatural alliance.
For several years past there have been many
Indications that, under the fostering care of
years of protection, some of the New Eng
land industries wsre so well established
that thoy were more fearful of the develop
ment of rival establishments in Penn
sylvania, the West, and the South, than of fo
reign competition. The revenue tariff which
Mr. Atkinson advocates might be so adjusted as
to suit their interests exactly. It would prevent
the manufacturers of Great Britain from under
selling the large New England manufacturers in
American markets, and yet it would not afford
sufficient protection to nourish new establish
ments or factories not fully equipped with supe
rior facilities. Mr. Bryant was perfectly right
in stating that this scheme is not entirely philan
thropic. Humanity was never disgraced by a
more rascally exhibition of selfishness. The old
free-traders were bad enough, but the new con
verts of the Atkinson school, who, after clamor
ing for protection all their lives, now seok to
deny it to others, desorve unmitigated contempt.
They are like rescued men, who, safely landed
on shore from a sinking ship by a life-boat, pre
vent the boat from venturing to savo other pas
sengers because they fear that the stock of pro
visions, or of household accommodations on
terra firma, might not be sufficient to sustain
comfortably all the companions with whom they
originally embarked.
Mr. Atkinson, In his New York -speech, refer
ring to the fact that Calhoun had advocated pro
tection when Webster opposed it, predicted that
Massachusetts would again shift her ground,
and, after veering from free trade to protection,
would be blown about by the wind of doctrine
to free trade, while he announced that "the Cal
houns (meaning the protectionints) have moved
from South Carolina, and now live iu Pennsyl
vania." lie doubtless knew that, although this
8tate had occasionally been betrayed by faithless
representatives, or unduly influenced by parti
san prejudices, still she had never suffered cither
Webster or Calhoun to diminish her attachment
to the genuine American policy which has
always commanded the support of the great
body f her citizens. He also gave expression
to his hostility to the eoal and iron interests of
this State, and having thus thoroughly convinced
the free traders that he was a trustworthy ally,
he was despatched as a missionary to Philadel
phia, to Instruct the community which he is so
anxious to injure, in regard to the enormities of
protection and the beauties of free trade.
No pains were spared by the League to secure
an audience for their wonderful apostle. He was
not only well advertised and placarded, but a
brass band was engaged to perambulate the
streets yesterday, and, snugly ensconced in an
omnibus, whose sides were decorated with a
pressing Invitation to worklngmen to go to Con
cert Hall to listen to his address, the musicians
discoursed mellifluous melodies, and made the
air resound with the sweet strains of the "Little
Brown Jug" and "Captain Jinks of the Horse
Marines," but as. they also uttered a note of
warning, when they played the favorite tune of
"Not for Joseph, if he knows it," the workmen
did not respond, and Mr. Atkinson made his
debul at Concert Hall before a few people and a
great many empty benches.
He candidly avowed, even on our own soil,
his hostility to the coal and iron interests of this
State, and with a grand air oi aneeica superi
nrltv. this superlatively contemptible champion
of the meanest of all creeds announced that he
a fflad to know that "there are men Here,
even in Pennsylvania, who have ceased to be
if..ta " while he declared that as a State we
"still in swaddling clothes," and that while,
i,i,,atrl.llv. wo were "babies, fat, flabby, and
soft," we "had better have a few tumbles," aud
' fw of us break our necks, "than to be
i. i !, finvemuent nursery for another
,.. trv. with the Treasury to draw milk from."

of Mr. Atkinson's speeches to learn what new
discoveries in political economy have Induced
him to abandon his former position u a

endeavoring to establish as a standard.

the aid of protective duties levied for their beno

hereafter if nobody else could be aided by the
governmental agencies which thoy have so
beneficially used ! This is the sum and sub
stance of Mr. Atkinson's philosophy, and ho has
the impudence to preach it in Philadelphia. If
his teachings could be successful, he would de
populate our thoroughfaros more rapidly than a
dreadful pestilence, but as they carry with them

ruiLLira in a frenzy.
The "Peculiar Institution" is dead. If any cir
cumstance were needed to recall the fact, the
reports which we receive of the anniversary
meeting of the Anti-Slavery 8oclotyat New York
yesterday would suffice. Stcinway Hall was not
half full of people, and half of those who were
present were of unmistakable African descent.
Wendell Phillips, "as usual," preslJed, and "as
usual" he tilted a lance at almost everything.
Fortunately, however, the fifteenth amendment
escaped his wrath, and he condescended to ad
vocate the passage of a resolution endorsing it.
But this was not the only thing advocated by
him. Evidently he advocated the tender of an
ovation to the colored Lieutenant-Governor of
Louisiana by the Wall street brokers, for he
stated his profound belief that he would live to
see the day when the bulls and bears of Wall
street would be forced to encounter the sable
Louisianian face to face. Why Wendell has sot
his heart on this thing we cannot imagine, but
it is probably simply because the Lieutenant
Governor is a negro, and not altogether because
he is a mnn.
Wendell also contemplates sundry other curi
ous occurrences which, to him, are strongly
savored with the millennium. Among these is
the displacement of Secretary Fish, and the
confiding of our diplomacy to the hands of a
colored man. If a negro were installed at the
head of the State Department, Wendell thinks
that everything would be particularly lovely,
and the gooee hung on a very elevated peg, the
upshot of the whole affair being that Minister
Motley would cross the Atlantic with a very dif
ferent set of instructions from those with which
he has been provided by such miserable white
trash as now manage our foreign affairs. In
this we detect a little piece of sarcasm worthy
of the illustrious Wendell, the point of it being
that not Motley but Phillips would cross the
ocean, breathing battle and snorting defiance.
In one aspect thase vagaries of Wendell Phil
lips arc extremely harmless. No reasonable or
intelligent person regards them in any light
other than that of the scintillations of a mis
guided zeal and a fanatical purpose. But the
Democratic press, in their fear of negro supre
macy, seize upon all such ridiculous utterances
and parade them before the people as indications
of the purposes of the Republican party. If the
readers of these white men's journals
were generally gifted with more com
mon sense and fairness than their
writers possess, no harm would result. Unhap
pily this is not the case, and therefore wo ex
press the hope that the bulls and bears of Wall
street may soon be induced to face Lieutenant
Governor Dunn in all his ebony radianse. The
Neapolitan who has once gazed upon Na
ples is ready to die. Perchance Wendell will
give up the ghost quite cheerfully when his eyes
have seen the glery of this spectacle.
THE HARI-KARI OF ST. THOMAS.
The people of 8t. Thomas appear to be In a
very bad way generally. King Christian IX of
Denmark, whom they have for a long time past
acknowledged as their sovereign lord, was
ery desirous to exchange his sovereignty over
them for a money consideration, and when the
news reached him that Secretary Seward was
buying up all the desolated tracts of country in
the world, he hastened to open negotiations for
the disposal of his fee simple in St. Thomas.
The negotiations progressed so favorably that
the purchase of the Island by the United
States was regarded merely as a question of
time, aud of a very brief spacb of time, at that.
With a great show of deference for the wishes
of his subjects, King Christian ordered a popu
lar vote to be taken, and, with remarkable una
nimity, the people of St. Thomas pronounced in
favor of the proposed transfer of, their allegiance.
Then there came a serious hitch in the affair,
and thus far the Senate of the United States has
refused to ratify the purchase treaty.
This refusal leaves the quaking inhabitants of
the island in a very anomalous situation. Prac
tically the Danish Government has repudiated
the Island and all Its belongings, and the United
States having refused to assume the sovereignty,
the wretched inhabitants are held subject to the
Bway of earthquakes and tidal waves alone. But
even this accumulation of misfortunes has not
availed to teach them the first principles of dis
cretion. We are told from Washington to-day
that the authorities make such heavy and
reasonable 'charges for the use of the island as a
coaling station for American ships of war, that
our Government is about to transfer its business
In this line to the bay of Samana, in the republic
of Situ Domingo. There is a great deal of talk
about annexation to the United States In the
latter country, and the thing Is not an improba
unity, ii li snouid take place, the fate of un
happy St. Thomas would of course bo sealed,
unless his Majesty of Denmark should conclude
to part with the latter island without receiving
one ceut by way of compensation. Under these
circumstauces, the t. lhonius authorities are
simply making an earnest effort to disembowel
themselves, in a figurative way of speaking, with
fair prospects of success

TUB FINK ART.
The Water Ciolor Exhibition.
The public docs not seem to appreciate the verj
meritorious exhibition of water color paintings at
the Artists' Fund Galleries, and the visitors are so
few and far between that the gentlemen who have
arranged the affair, at considerable trouble to them
selves, are seriously in doubt whether they will be
able to clear expenses. This want of Interest is not
creditable to the art taste of Philadelphia, and we
particularly regret that the exhibition is not better
patronized, as the proceeds are to be devoted to a
very charitable object, the Children's Hospital. The
water color exhibition is throughout up to a high
mark of excellence, and although the display at the
Academy of Fine Arts is more extensive, yet, taking
all things into consideration, the smaller collection
Is more meritorious and better worthy the attention
of those who can appreciate really good
art works. Water color painting well
deserves to be better understood and more exten
sively cultivated in this country than it has been, as
it combines a number of qualities that are unattain
able with other mediums. The present collection is
particularly Interesting, as It presents a number of
superior specimens of English, American, and French
styles, which are so arranged that the visitors can
make a proper comparison of the merits of each.
The hanging has been judiciously done by gentle
men of taste and discretion, who had no other object
than to make the display as attractive an possible to
the public, and tho artistic success of the exhibition
Is such that it ought to give an Impetus to the study
and practice of aquarelle.
Hitherto the English have taken the lead in this
branch of art, and they have carried it to a high state
of perfection. Of late, however, it has been taken
up In this country, and many of the works by our
native artists will compare favorably in every way
with the best English specimens. Messrs E. Moran,
E. D. Lewis, W. T. Richards, I. L. Williams, J. Hamil
ton, E. B. Bensell, and other Phiiadelphians have
some highly creditable contributions, and New York
sends a number of excellent works. Mrs. Murray,
who is now counted among the American artists,
may fairly be said to stand at the head of the water
color school in this country, and we would particu
larly call attention to her works for the encourage
ment of ' other women who are girted with artistic
talents, as an evidence that In art real
ability will be appreciated without regard to sex.
The picture entitled "The Eleventh Hour," by this
lady, is a work of remarkable merit In every way ; it
is powerful in subject, superb iu color and good in
drawing. In the pictures by Mrs. Murray previously
exhibited here, the drawing of the figures has not
been particularly good, although their excellences
in other respects have been sufficient to counter
balance this defect. In the work under considera
tion, however, there is nothing to complain of In this
respect, while It shows Improvement in other par
ticulars. We heartily commend this exhibition to the atten
tion of the art-loving public, on account of its many
merits as well as for the worthy object for which it
was arranged, and we hope that during the remain
der of the time It is open the influx of visitors
will be greater than during the past two or three
weeks.
Product of Pio-ibon in thb United States.
The following table shows the comparative pig-iron

The product of Great Britain for the same period
was 4,800,000 tons,.or about three times as large as
that of the United States. The Railroad and Mining
He giter says, in this connection : "The quantity of
Iron ore smelted In Great Britain in 1803 was 12,000,-
000 tons, the produce oX which was 40 per cent, or
metallic iron. Supposing that the average yield of
American ores Is about the same percentage as the
British, It would appear that there were smelted In
the UniWHl States in 1888, of Iron ore, 4,009,000 tons.
And as the whole pig Iron product of Pennsylvania
for 1808 was 923,566 torn, or 6T per cent, of the pro
duct of the United States, tho same percentage
would make the quantity of iron ore smelted in
Pennsylvania for the ytar, 2,985,130 tons. The bulk
of this Is mined In Pennsylvania, though a large
quantity of ore Is imported from New Jersey Into
the Lehigh valley. Ob is also received from New
York and Lake Superior."

We have received, within a day or two, several
letters from gentlemen from White Pine, formerly

great weight, both from their general Intelligence
and mining experience. The evidently regard White
Pine us a stupendous Perhav.
One writes as follows: "After careful observation
of White Pine, I am thoroughly convinced that but
few rich mines have been discovered; that so far
there are no well-developed ledges, and that the
merits of the White Pine district do uot at all jus
tify Its popularity."
Another says: "Everything is for sale with the
exception of a few rich mines, such as Kberhard,"
and adds, "doubt, fear, and uncertaluty respecting
the richness of the mines pervade the minds of all."
Another report is as follows: "Everything is
overdone and prices are receding. As soou as ors is
struck in a claim, work is suspended for fear it may
peter, and the mine Is for sale. Everything Is for
sale No Assure veins have yet been developed."
It also appears that hundreds of men at Uiu miues
