The Free Trader. — We welcome the appearance of the first number

of the Free Trader, published by the Free Trade Union. Its issue is to be continued weekly. It consists of notes dealing with matters connected with the fiscal controversy that arise during the week, with longer articles by specialists. I complete state- ment of the case against Protection will appear by instalments ; the first chapter on "The Fear of Imports" is excellent. It is an excellent idea to track the enemy's fallacies week by week, and demolish them before they can effect much mischief.
