WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Mr Rounds. the Public
Printer has returned from a visit to his home in
Chicago In the course of a conversation with
a TRIBUNE correspondent to-day, in regard TO
the political situation Ill Illinois, Mr. Rounds
said: our friends feel IA great deal more confident
than they did two weeks ago | talked with all
the prominent leaders who managing the can
vass before left Chicago and they expressed great
confidence that the Republicans would hold their
own 50 far as the Congressional delegation is con-
cerned. We expect to carry all the Chicago dis
trIcts; and while may lose ono or two ont
side districts, we expect that any such losses will
be Offset BY gains in other parts of the state"
What is your Judgment rs TO the political COM
plexion of the next LcgIsature" the correspondent
asked.
1T is impossible for any man to form
Judgment in regard TO that" was the reply.
We have a minority sy stem of representatives,
in Illinois, aud that practically prevents anything
like accurate forecast OF the general result on the
legislative ficbet.'
There have been some rather harsh criticisms
upon the recent removals In the Government Print
ing Otiite,' the CORES pOndent remarked.
" Yes unjust, as well as harsh" Mr.. Rounds re-
sponded. :" The facts just these: Congress in
the last act making appropriations for this Office
the sum appropriated for the current fiscal year
should be expended during The first six
months. 1t was found some time ago
that at the rate We were working, we should eX-
haust more than One-naf of the appropriation
before January and, OF course, it b came nece5-
sary to reduce orr expenses Besides we
really had more force than We could work TO
advantage account OF delays in returning
proof from the Census Office, and III furnishing copy
which had been expected from the Department of
Agriculture. The assertions that employees were
discharged because they belonged IN the District OF
Columbia and were nOn-yOters, and that any were
discharged for pOlltca! reasons are both untrue 4
careful in. pcction Of the Office made and only
the least efficient employees ere discharged"

tered by the republican party they have
been conducted In manner to challenge
the approval of all citizens. Efficiency,
integrity, and economy have been the
standards Of the service. The prosper
ity of the state has been constant and
increasing. The population has aug
mented from 100000 to 100000. Wealth
and production have increased in a
greater ratio. UnfOrtunates have been
cared for, education fostered, the public
debt has been substantially cancelled. the
credit of the state cleansed from the
stain of democratic population and
raised to the highest point, while in the
great struggle for liberty and union,
Michigan has been second to none of her
sister states.
II. The administration of David Fl.
Jerome has been characterized by the
republican standard of excellence, and
has fifty continued the long roll Of re-
publican administrations which have
reflected honor upon the state of Michi-
gan.

as the same incapable bourbon party
that IL has ever been. Passing over its
shameful record before, during, and d.
rectly after the civil war. its recent his
nor reformed. During six years of su-
premacy in congress it showed itself
incapable of single great measure of
legislative or administrative reform.
Neither tariff, currency, revenue, civil
service, army, Indian, police, or any
other great interest received improve
ment at its hands. They confined their
efforts at reform to turning out Union
soldiers to make room for rebels, to
usurping executive prerogatives, refus-
ing necessary appropriations, and OBJ
structing the administration of the
laws. AT the last congressional election
they stole numerous seats in the house
of representatives by the fraud of tissue
ballots and false counting, and as par
ty Endorsed the fraud by keeping the
stolen seats after the fraud was made
clear. They DISTRACTED legislation
against polygamy, opposed the tariff
commission, and to the last refused to
cooperate for the reduction Of taxa
ton. By their whole history they
prove their incapacity for the leader
ship of great people.
IA. We denounce the recent amalga-
nation Of the democrats and greenback-
ers as the most shameless political bar
gain and sale in the history of Michi-
gan politics. 1t conclusively proves
that they have no principles that they
were not ready to barter for the spoils
of Office. We cordially invite all citi-
zens, of whatever party heretofore, who
value principle, who object to being
bargained and sold like sheep. and who
are in substantial accord with the fore
going declaration of principles, to CO.

theory, President Lincoln arose ant
said: Professor, yonr theory Is al
right, but the moment you undertake
to put it In practice 1t would be very
much like shoveling fieas." Free-trade
theories In general, whether promul-
gated by writers of political economy
or democratic stump speakers, are just
as impracticable, so far as contributing
to the growth and prosperity of this
country Is concerned, as was the theory
Of the Michigan professor who sup
posed that his deductions based upon
the immutable principles of science "
would crush the democratic rebellion
like an egg shell. ).A
This little incident of the weakness of
theory when unsupported by the solid
rock OF practical experience brings to
mind that certain democratic legisla-
tors In Michigan also had theories as to
how the great rebellion must be closed.
One of these gentlemen, who Is fond of
planting himself on the immutable
princi pie of science" said: "Both the
north and the south must consent to
terms of accommodation some day If
this war is ever ended and the Union
preserved" The gentleman was mis-
taken In his theory, for the freemen Of
the north dictated terms of uncondi-
tional surrender" to the rebel hosts,
who laid down their arms and begged
for mercy. The "war was ended and
the Union preserved" without any
"terms of accommodation on the part
of the north.
Mr.. Barnes is a man of too much sa-
gacity to honestly believe that Ameri-
can industry could stand for year
against the accumulated capital and
pauper labor of the old world. AS we
said at the outset, this free-trade dust Is
raised at the present time to blind the
eyes of voters from examining into the
management of state affairs under DEM
ocratic and republican rule. The Amer
lean workingman who espouses the
cause of free-trade places the knife at
his own throat and no men in Michigan
have better knowledge of that fact
than the democratic orators Timothy
Tarsney and o. M. Barnes.

ENGLAND.
OCCUPATIONS.
L. 8.

But when Mr.. Tarsney struck the
tariff of $2S dollars per ton on steel rails
he heaved his heaviest sigh. The poor
farmer and business men have to whack
up in freight rates, and the citizen who
wishes to take journey has to pay an
extra price for his ticket. Now what
are the facts? In 1868
THE PRICE OF STEEL RAILS
in currency was $3.50 per ton, but in
July of the present year they could be
bought for $4S per ton. Has anybody
observed any marked change in the
rates of railroad travel since that time,
except that naturally brought about
through the competition ofvarious lines?
The following table gives the statistics
of the annual production of steel rails
in the United States since the COM
mencement of their manufacture, to-
gether with the average annual price
at which they have been sold at the
works in Pennsylvania, and the rates of
duty imposed on foreign rails. The
yearly price was obtained by averaging
the monthly price:
The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1882-11-03

These statistics prove conclusively
that protection has not increased the
cost Of railroad construction, but that
on the contrary American capital has
built up
GREAT MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES
all over the country, and through home
competition the prices of iron and steel
have been reduced far below those which
prevailed at the time when English
manufacturers controlled the markets
of the world. In other words home
competition was necessary to reduce the
price of these articles, and that CON-
petition could not have been had
WITHOUT PROTECTION.
In 1854, when our first Bcssemer steel
works were undertaken, American rail-
road managers were paying from $50 to
$1l2 In gold per ton for English steel
rails delivered at English seaports; and
In 1867, when American mills were
ready to receive orders for steel rails,

RATES OF TRANSPORTATION.
Now as to Mr.. Tarsney's charge that
rates of transportation have been in
creased, the following table. compiled
by the U. S. bureau of statistics, will
show that he made such statement reck-
lessly, without any foundation of fact.
The figures represent in cents the aver
age annual charges for the carriage of
wheat per bushel from Chicago to New
York.

WOODEN MILL OPERATIVES

Any man with average common sense
can see from the above table that the
average weekly wages of these wooden
mill operatives are 40 per cent higher
to-day than in 1860. In the year 1873,
when the era Of business depression
which followed the panic was still at its
height, the Massachusetts bureau of sta
tistics of labor made very exhaustive
inquiry on the subject of wages. Oper-
under 81 different headings, and out Of
found whose wages were not far higher
in 1873 than In 1860.
