Now, sir, i- not this a statement un

England before they can buy as cheap
there a here.
While I ..m writins one of our v0rk
insmen. au Engli-hmen vho ha been
in this country a little over a year, en
ter rav office. I read the aboe extract
to him. and ak him how it is about the
price given and compared.
"Quality considered. I can buy a
cheap here a I can at home in York
shire.' I ask him about the all-wool ulster
coat which he hai on. and how mitoh it
cot. Ho answer. ''Ten dollar, and it
aren't cotton warp, either."
Is the uit of clothe yon have on all
wool'1" Ye-, -ir." -W'hat did thy
cost?"
Ten Dollar."
'What did those new shivs you have
on cost?" -Two dollars and a half."
-Could you buy those clothe any cheaper
-at home?" " -No. sir'" "How about the
shoe-'."" "They would cost me at home
S3.o0." "How about your stockintr and
h:rt and underclothes?" "I can bay
them as cheap i.e.e as at homer
-What u there then tha cost you
more than it would -home' for yourself
or the support of j-our family?"' "Noth
in2 but house rent and eoal. Every
thing el-e j as cheap and in many .ases
cheaper. On the whole 1 can take bet
ter care of my family here, feed and
clothe them better, and live more com
fortable at the same cost than I can at
home in En-land."
The New York Herald has shown that
clothing of quality -uch as working peo
ple wear was fully a cheap in this coun
try as in England. Now when men and
women earn from three to four time as
much as they do in the old country it
needs no explanation to show how much
.tier jif the working classes are in this
country than m the old country.
The Chicago Heuzld nas ihivyn this
fact very cleariy by contrasting the earn
ings of a workingman and his family in
the United States and the earnings or a
workingman and his family in England.
Whether clothing be cheap or dea"r, the
money must be earned before it can be
bought, and so with food. Mines, mills
and factories mast be kept in operation
or laoor win ue aie ana tne operative
unable to purchase his necessities. A
closed mill means no employment io
mill hands, hence inability to buy, how-
, s-ver Cie2i goods may be. A Pittsburg
! paper aptly exposed the truth of this
soine time ago by a conversation 'vetwc.en

Protection on Cotton.
-Cotton Spinner, Beaver Dam, Wis.,
a-ks: -Was there ever a time in this
country when there was a protective
tariff on raw cotton? If there ever was.
will the Inter Ocean print in its colums
how much the duty was and when it was
put on?"
Reply There was a protective tariff
nnrnn rnxcr.ttnn in TTS9: the amount
was three cents a pound. "Cooir spf..- fx ,TH r

preamble of the first act of congress,
July 4, 1750. read -for the encourage

ones wanted and obtained protection on
what thev foresaw would become a very
Important -raw material," also that the
Southern states were adapted to its
growth: hence the protection given to
raw cotton, in harmony with the princi
ple of encouraging American manufacturer-.
In those days democrats were in
favor of protecting "raw materials" if
they were American raw materials. It
is the democrats, and not the republi
cans, who have changed front. As be

"I am convinced that protection ha-
! had a mot srievou- effect upon the
political and social condition of the
I modern world. Russian nihiiim. rer-
I man social democ-ricy, and French anar
chism are. in a hlsfc degree, the children

Boat of the Cobden Club.
It should bo remembered that it is the
boat of the Cobden ciub that -they will
never rest while the United State are
un-ubdued," and that having -failed on
ziie continent our ejes are now t-irued to
the veat, w here we are to meet a fc-eman
worthy of our teej. the fight will be with
the glove on", and again the Cobden
' club say. -we send money wherever it
I will do good.
I No countrv ha had more strikes, riots,
etc.. than free-trade England. No
i country i in a worse condition -o far as
1 it working cla-s are concerned, and to
this fact English aacLor'ty bars ample
' e Idence. Nor Is It a matter of recent
date. Misery, suffering, want and pau-peri-ni
has been tbe portion of English
i labor for vears. On this question a few
' authorities are given, not alone from
politicians, but from leading journal"!
and thoso who were employed specifically
for the purpose of ascertaining the truth.
The London Sun bears its testimony
. on the subject thus; -The bulk of the
working classes, both in the agricultural
and manufacturing districts, are reduced
on ordinary occasions to the lowest stage
of existence, and a bad season ia a sen
tence of death to many of the suffering
poor.
What did Richard Cobden sav of his
px)rer countrymen: -The men of En
gland are treated by the landed Interest
worse than their dogs or horses, which
are fed in proportion to their toil.
Sydney Smith say: -There is no
doubt more misery and acute suffering
among the mass of the people of En
glandthan there ;s in an? kingdam in
the world; but then they are the great
unwashed, dirty, disagreeable, Importun
ate persons. There are thousands
honseless, breadless, friendless, without
shelter raiment, or hope in the world;
j millions uneducated, only half fed, driven
xo crime and every species of vice which

irain. to an extent uiten uut.iiuu iu
the lacs snlightened. the less free, the
less favored7 and the less powerful king-
doms of the world.'
The Quarterlu Rcviac remarks: "In
the sense Adam Smith uses the word
poor, living from hand to mouth,' nine
tenths of the English people are poor."
And the same publication said: "In the
read which the English laborer must
travel the poor house is the Iat stage on
the way to the grave.'
The Wetminaler Rcviac on the same
subject says: -There is a mighty evil
connected with the condition or the
working classes in this country, which
ha to be met. exposed and overcome."
Kay. author of -The Social Condition
and Education of the People of Eng
land," after traveling through western
Europe as a commissioner sent out by
the -enate of Cambridge University, re
ports: '-The poor of England are more
depressed, more pauperized, more num
erous in comparison to the other classes,
more irrelisious. and very much worse
educated than the poor of any other Eu
ropean nation, solely excepting Russia,
Turkey, south Italy. Portugal and
Spain.'
Such is British testimony to the re
sl of fre trade in Enzland.

his can ass for re-election. He is one of
the authors of the election bill, and hai
been its most persistent and intrepid
champion. Opposed to him is Dr.
William Everett, whom tha demo
crats have induced to enter politics J
this year for the express purpose or
calling out and organizing all the senti-
ment adverse to that measure, and turn
ing it in favor of the democracy. Dr.
Everett is a son of Edward Everett, who
was one of the most eminent citizens of
the Bay State during the twenty-five or
thirty years immediately preceeding the
war. He is learned, able and popular,
and is one of the republicans who se
ct ded to the democracy five or six years
ago. 2So other man in his locality Isbet
'ter adapted to the task which the demo
crats have in view of gathering Into
their party, for this year a: least, all the
republicans upon whom, for any cause,
partisan ties just now sit lightly.
No better field could have been se
lected than the Sisth Massechusetts dis
trict in which to secure a fair and free
expression of public sentiment on any
. public question in which the moral ele-
I ment enters. The district comprises a
part of Boston and several of that city's
suouros. rartisan muepenaence na
always asserted itself promptly and vig

would be hard to find a more unpromis

partisan boss whenever their be-he-is
come in conflict with la
con-cience of the laters whom
thev asume to control. Ordinarily the
di-
in !?". His public record, on the whole, 1
has been creditable, and this considera
tion will do much to Induce his constitu
ent to condone his errors of policy in
Luimection with the election bill. The
canvas is bMng conducted with vigor
and Intelligence on both sides, the elec
tion scheme Is the chief issue, and the
re-ult will furnish an approximately ac

has been with Maj. McKinley at every
meeting in the district thus far, rivea
the following 3S his judgment of the
present outlook: "After having heard
i" heard
Congressman McKinley deliver fourteen
speeches within five consecutive days,
having traveled with him several hun
dred miles by rail and fifty-four miles by
wagon road, and being a witness to the
wonderful enthusiasm that his canvass I
creating, the writer hereof
lereof bids the re-
publicans of this district to be or sood
i cheer and urges them to renewed effort,
for through the smoke of the battle vic
torv mav be seen within reach, and cer
tain to be secured if the movement con
tinues as it has begun."
One thing is evident to the most castial
observer in the Sixteenth district,' and
that is that every republican :s a warm
and enthusiastic admirer of the uallant
major, and is at work with might and
main trying to compas hi election.
There Is no need of urging and no lack
of volunteers. Every one" 1 anxious to
spare no eaort to help re-elect the man
of national fame of whom they are so
justly proud. This fact speaks volumes,
and is the best nossible indication of the

should advance by makinz marche-. six
miles at a time, four time over darkest
Africa. N one but hlnveif would dare
put such a .suie-tlon on paper for fear of
the -storm of derision It would provoke.
The Idea S a splendid conception
ridiculously Impoible. Ju-t think
what this orilliaut sug--ie-tion meant. The
distance to Albert Lake i- over CM mile-.
To go zo there by journeys of -ix miles
made four times, means to zo over every
six miles three double journeys and
one single journey, that i- -even time-.
So that to cover the GOO mile- march. I 260
