DON'T WRONG THE WORKING PEOPLE.
"They have gotithem at the expens
of the workingman and the smal
white faced children belonging to him
who tell in their hungry looks the stor
of the short wages .father gets , are th
best evidences of the wrong of free tradi
and the right of protection. We cand <
anything wo want in this country w <
have got the brains , we have got thi
money , and , thank God , we have got thi
men. The big manufacturers may tel
you that their workmen have .to learn
but the foreign workman who come :
over to teach them gets in exchange foi
a dirty , low hovel and a miserable pittance
tanco a pleasant home with a gardei
about it , good schools where his boyi
and girls may be educated , and the feel
ing that he is an independent man.
"You have read about all the troubh
in Ireland. You know what caused it
It came from the rich people { going t <
London to spend their money , and" thai
will be the trouble in this country seer
unless the women rise up in their mighl
and decline to buy anything except thai
which is designed arid made in their owi
country.
"English women , of position , realizing
the way things are tending that is
iwornen like the Princess of Wales ancl
the queen herself have tried to inakt
Irish poplin fashionable , and today Ladj
Zetland , wife of the viceroy of Ireland ,
'is doing everything possible to pusl
Urish lace , so that many of the fashionable -
[ ble hats are trimmed with it , and manj
of the court dresses have it upon them.
'An ' English woman thinks she has done
something for her country when she
'draws a design for her own gown and
has it woven in English looms. That ie
the point we want to reach.
"This spring when the court was in
.mourning the shopkeepers said they
'didn't ' mind very much , as the Americans -
] cans would come over there and spend
their money. Now -why do they do it ?
They made their money here , and the
best kind of patriotism is in circulating
the money made in your own country ,
among your own people. That is the
jpatnotism the American women do not
know , which they have got to learn and
which protection teaches.
' A GOOD EXAMPLE BY MRS. HARRISON.
"Mrs. Harrison did her best in this
direction when she wore at the inau
guration ball a = brocade , woven in
American mills , designed and made by
an American dressmaker. Then , too ,
'my boy , you remember the silver gray
1 wore and' ' which you all liked so
much ? That was made of , American
eilk trimmed with lace manufactured
right here in New York city , and the
material was just as pretty and the
trimming as dainty as any that ever
passed through a French or English
man's hands. "
MEN'S CLOTHING ABROAD.
"But , " said the boy , "aren't men's
clothes cheaper ? " I laughed at this and
said : "Don't you remember your Cousin
Arthur's frock coat ? He thought he
paid a small sum for it in London , but
when he got home he had to pay a tailor
here to refit it. Still it wasn't right.
Then he went to another tailor ; still it
it didn't fit , and at last he went to an
other one , who had the frankness to tell
him that there was no use trying to do
anything with it , as , although no tailors
in the world cut like the American ones ,
even they can't make a good job out of
an English botch. So poor Arthur found
himself , as the old proverb goes , with
an elephant on his hands. His English
coat wouldn't fit , couldn't fit , and he
had the doubtful pleasure of knowing
, that he could have got a coat for one-
jhalf what this had cost him , could have
: had it made of equally good cloth , and
'it would have fitted him and been of
'Borne ' use , though just inside the collar
Jwould have been an American tailor's
'stamp.
"You've seen the storm coat that was
brought over to me ? My measurements
Iwere sent exactly , and the result is that
ii have a coat that trains on the ground ,
| that is too big for me in the neck , and
'which ' it would cost more than it is
worth to have altered. Next season I'll
buy a new one of an American manu-
* facturer. Now if those measurements
had been sent to any big shop in New
York , Philadelphia , Chicago or Boston
.1 should have got a coat that would have
fitted me decently. Then , too , when we
Jwere over there wo bought a lot of
pretty handkerchiefs as presents. They
'seemed to bo immensely cheap. They
turned out to be both cheap and nasty ,
for at their first visit to the laundry the
beautiful bright colors faded , and they
were extremely miserable to look at. "

A FOREIGN VIEW.
What Our Neighbors Say Concerning On
Protection Policy.
The London Spectator of recent date
commenting on the political situatioi
in the United States , says :
The Democratic party has with vii
tual unanimity not only adopted ammti
protectionist programme , buthaschosei
as its candidate a politician whose nam
is-s synonymous with whafwe mean b ;
'
free trade that is , tariff for revenu'
purposes only. The manner in whicl
the Democratic' party has adopted tin
principle of free trade is especially re
markable. Protection i. e.the raisinj
of duties for other than revenue pur
poses has been condemned as uncon
stitutional , and therefore if the Demo
cratic party triumphs protection mus
go , root and branch , as something op
posed to the institutions of the Unitec
States. The vote by which this de
cision was carried was a very heavy one
Five hundred and sixty-four members
voted for it and only 8-13 against.
Nor is this all. Mr. Shearman de
clares that "the most significant part oj
the vote consists in the fact that tht
minority was composed almost entirely
of men who heartily approved of the de >
cision , but who feared that the people
at large were not prepared for such a
radical utterance , while the majority
included the entire delegation from New
York , who have hitherto been among
the most obstinate opponents of any
thing savoring of free trade , and whc
strove to defeat Mr. Cleveland upon that
ground. " Mr. Shearman is confident
indeed that the Democratic party as a
whole inaynow be considered as unan
imous for free trade and against the
taxation of the consumer in the interests
of the producer. But if the Democrats
are a large majority of the voters , and
if the Democrats are determined to put
an end to protection , it is obviously safe
to predict that the days of protection are
numbered.
England's Cotton Trade.
England is evidently losing its trade
in cotton manufactures. , The govern
ment return , issued a few weeks ago ,
deals with the trade for the first six
months of this year and the same period
in 1890 and 1891. It makes the follow
ing statement of exports for the six
months terms :
1890. 1891. 1892.
Yarn and twist. 6.142,611 5,634,416 4,897.701
Piece goods. . . . 25.084,073 26,244,305 24,501,310
It is acknowledged that there must
either be a reduction of wages or a cur
tailment of production. Either method
would be disastrous to labor and lead to
the inauguration of a great strike. The
Liverpool Mercury states the situation
as follows :
Both manufacturers and merchants
complain that at the present rate of out
lay they cannot make both ends meet.
The operatives , through their official
representatives , urge that the amend
ment of the existing state of affairs is
not to be found in a reduction of wages ,
but in a diminution of supply. On all
sides it is admitted that something must
be done if Lancashire is to maintain its
present position as to the great field of
this vast industry.
Saxony Is Watching Oar Election.
The issue of Kuhlow's German Trade
Review of July 20 contains the follow
ing interesting statement :
"It is thought that the votes of the
electors will shortly destroy McKinley's
srork in the immense transatlantic
union ; will dispense with the password
jf 'America for Americans , ' and by
jiving a splendid victory to the Demo
cratic party will open a free path to our
trade. " The same article says that if
: he Democrats succeed , the industries of
Saxony depending upon the American
market will be revived , for the reason
; hat the goods they make cannot be so
jheaply produced in the United States
is in Germany , "owing to the high price
) f wages. "

Mr. Cleveland's friendship fc
defenders of the union was nc
paradoxically proved ! only by hi
peusiou-yetoe but by the appoini
nieiits which Hip made during hi
administration ! Partisan denic
crnts pretend ' .to detect the elf
ments of heroic courage in his 5A
pension vetoes , but Mr. Cleveland'
antipathy to union soldiers is illus
trated in a still stronger light b
the men whom he selected and aj :
pointed to the first mission
abroad. In the entire roll of ou
foreign ministers the , onlv name
( j „ *
that were borne on the muster ro ]
of the union army were those c
Gen. 3. S. Bragg , of Wiscousiu
who was given the mission t
Mexico salary $12QOO becaus
he deserted his comrades when th
dependent pension bill was up fo
passage over the yote ; Charle
Deuby , minister to.- China , au <
Geo.V. . Merrill , minister t <
Hawaii , who were for u short tinn
in the early part of the war officer
in Indiana regiments. . The goo (
northern democrats who fough
for the union were ignored and tin
desirable places were distributee
among copperheads and confeder
ates , as follows :
Mission to Austro-Huugary
salary , § 12,000 given to Alex
aiider B. Lawton , of Georgia , edu
cated at West Point ; quartermaste :
general in the rebel army.
Mission to Bolivia salary

general commandant of the forces
which repulsed , with greal
slaughter , General Sherman's

Virginia ; served in the rebel army ;
vas also a rebel congressman.
Mission to Yenezuela salary ,
? 7,500 given to Charles L. Scott ,
f Alabama ; served in the rebel
irmy.
Cleveland's first minister to
klexico salary , $12,000 was
leury E. Jackson , of Georgia ;
vho commanded a brigade in the
ebel army during the war.
A. M. Keiley , of Yirgiuia , who
ras lieutenant in the 12th confed-
irate regiment during the war , was
.ppointed by Cleveland minister
o Italy , but the Italians refused
o receive him because of insulting
anguage minister Keiley had used
oward Italy.
Cleveland then appointed him
o Austro-Hungary , but the Aus-
riaiis refused to receive him.
) leveland then made a place for
dm as one of the American repre-
entatives on the International
tribunal at Cario , Egypt , at a fat
alary.
This , of course , does not com-
lete the list. It only touches the
oreign appointments. The civil
ppointments might be taken up
-
in the snrae way nnd with the
same result , beginning with the
First Assistant Postmaster Geiifirn
Adlni Stevenson , ex-copperheac
wid present candidate for" vice-
president or the United States.
The result of an investigatioi
of more than 200 of the pensiou
bills vetoed by Cleveland reveah
the fact that about nine-tenths oi
tlieui were aftenvard-repassed b }
democratic and republican votes
in congress and the claimants paic
in full. More than forty such
cases were made special acts by
the . Democratic
fifty-first congress.Demo
cratic pension committees by
recommending their passage de
clared as their mature and deliber
ate judgmeijt that , . President
Cleveland's -veto had ? beeir"rTinjusfc
and undeserved.
A still more important fact
ascertained was that among the
cases opposed by Mr. Cleveland
there is one date under which he
allowed more than 100 pension
bills to become laws unde'r'protest
because he had not had time to
examine them. This incident oc-
cured twice afterward , and two
similar batches of pension bills
became laws without his signature
or approval , . so that according to
his own statement there were at
least 300 pension bills which he
opposed under protest in addition
to the 524 which 'Jie vetoed out
right.
