A Card from Mr.. Carley

MIR. EDITOR: Under the caption of Plaig-
arism exposed iii the journal of the 10th there
are some bold assertions which claim attention
from me. | am there termed literary thief
and pirate. have this TO say: | never saw
the Scotch ballad referred to by my accuser,
called Mary's dream, until saw it in the Jour
nal. nor did ever hear of if before. | am as
strongly opposed to literary plumber is is my
accuser. | am now nearly eighty->eyen years
old. The productions otmy pen have been be-
fore the public in some form more than forty
years, and | never used the stock of others
without giving credit for it. In this case | see
the Sameness in the two articles why. cannot
explain. | wrote from the inspiration of the
moment and why my pen should run thus |
cannot explain. | am not surprised that people
might think that one in part was a quotation
from the other, but in all sincerity can say |
am not a thief or pirate. 1t is too late i'll life
to begiu to plumber now, and | always find
stock enough without stealing. Whatever il
OdouS growing out Of this affair | must bear,
and knowing my innocence, ! can bear it I'M
complainngly. W. &. CARIEY.

The Lewiston Journal of Monday in abiding to
the recent game in this city says: AT the middle
of the ninth inning the Lewstons were three scores
in the lead when Bates crossed the home plate and
soon after reaching the crowd the catcher ran and
touched Bates with ball. claiming that he did not
touch the home plate The umpire decided him
out. After the game the umpire admitted that he
had been hasty in his decision and should not have
so decided on second thought. This decision lost
the game which should have stood nine to eight in
favor of Lewiston. The Lewistons have perfect
confidence In the honesty of the umpire and were
much satisfied with their kind treatment. E. e. On
wednesday the Belfast club went to Portland and
played the Portlands of that city. To-day they 20
to Biddeford and play the Citizens club of that
city. The Portlands and Biddefords are fine play
ing clubs If the club would erect seats at their
grounds. more spectators would attend the games.
1t is not comfortable to sit round on the ground,
fences, etc., for two or three hours.

free trade publication holds that "Frce
Trade between nations, complete and abso-
lutte as between the States of the American
Union. is the only commercial policy entirely
in accord with the spirit of our free in>tiI-
tons and with our natural business habits. and
the only policy for successful competition with
other nations in the commercial traffic of the
world" That is a beautiful theory, but wholly
impracticable, and the attempt to put it in
practice would be ruinous. In the first place
it would be impossible to bring about free
trade between nations. England does not even
have free trade with her Colonies. British
goods imported into Canada are subject to the
same duty rs goods from the United States and
other countries. But admitting that all the
nations would agree to free trade, those which
paid their laborers the lowest wages would,
other things being equal, undersell the others.
That would be bad for American labor which
is to-day the best paid labor in the world.
That it is the best paid is due to protection
Another thing. If we adopt free trade we
must derive the necessary revenue to maintain
the government from other sources, and the
only alternative is direct taxation. That is the
ultimate end of the Democratic free trade ag-
tation

Chinese cheap labor has proved to be ty-
rannical and unjust Mongolican monopoly in
San Francisco. The Coolie labor has driven
from the clothing industry thousands of decent
respectable women and their families; and
now the wholesale clothing merchants find
themselves completely at the mercy of the boss
Cinnamon and their slaves. A member of one
of the leading firms said to reporter Of a San
Francisco paper:
| only wish l could stop at once and forever
giving work to Cinnamon But if | did |
might as well close my warehouse. | could
not get my work done. | am obliged to SUBJ
NIT to every injustice and | dare not say Il
word in return. The Chinese companies. or
unions, dictate the prices | pay, the parties to
whom | must give the work and how it shall
be done. 1t makes my heart bleed often when
women with families to support apply to me
for work that | cannot give it to them. | can
only employ them to make the button-holeS, at
which, if they work hard, they can earn from
10 cents to 81 .25 day. On Saturday nights
these poor women will perhaps receive 50 or
81, while some hulking Chinese boss, who is
| practically save-owner, is taking away $500
or 5000. Chinese cheap labor is myth and
humbug. What we want now in this city Is
about 5000 or 900 white families who under
stand this work, and every manufacturer would
gladly rid himself Of the Chinese incubus
! Why, sir, | am paying from $50 to $40 a week
| to Chinese cutters who do not understand the

but | am not allowed TO. If did my work
