LONDON, July 18th The Cobden Club, at a meeting last night, adopted a report which, declares that if it had not been suggested by some home protectionists it was not likely that any colonist would have been so unreasonable as to propose that we should, while admitting colonial goods free of duty, tax similar commodities Imported. from foreign countries. While the President of the Board of Trade and the Government of Lord Salisbury deliver unanswerable refutations of the argument that it is a case for fiscal, fadera tion, as presented by the United Trade League, our free-trade system does not appear to be greatly endangered. But we must be on our guard, as these proposals are now strongly urged by colonists as well as by the league Protec toolam in protectionist countries has not attained the height at which it stood at the time of Cobden. The interests of employers and land owners are powerful, and Governments find fi. comparatively easy to also enormous revenues by collusion with Interests which profit by pro tection."

Two hundred man employed in the cork factory here, who have been thrown out of work through the operation of the United States tariff law visited the factory and engaged in riotous proceedings. The men demanded work, and were finally dispersed by the police. The explanation of the demonstration is that nearly all the cork for America is exported raw, and the cork-workers wish the authorities to raise the hope that America would admit handmade cork at a lower duty, and thus give employment to the cork-workers in this city. Yesterday a mob of about 600 cork-workers visited the cork factories and demanded employment, which was refused them.
