story, which in itself is complete exposition
of what free trade means. 1t says
The proprietor of the New England Paper
Company's mill at Point Neuf, province OF
Quebec, was in the city Friday. He said he
was hoping for free trade because he could beat
American paper-making competitors easily
Even now, with 20 per cent. duty on paper, he
imports paper to this city and underses Ho
yoke mills. The reason is because he pays hi,
employees so much smaller wages than are pale
here, making the cost of his product very much
less than it costs to make the same goods here
He pays girls in his mill 80 cents per day and
men are paid 30, 60 and 20 cents per day.

If President Cleveland adheres rigidly to the
Civil Service rules the great majority of the
rank and file of the Democracy who seek office
will be doomed to disappointment. Under the
rules of the Civil Service Commission all appli-
cants for places in what is known as the class
flied service have to undergo an examination.
This embraces the clerks who receive less than
$4,000 in the executive departments at Wash
ington, the employees of the Po>t-oItices and
Custom-houses of the United States, and all
other officers whose appointment is not direct
from the President The Cincinnati Enquirer
sadly says: ''Ir view of the declarations made
that President Cleveland will enforce the Civil
Service law, the army of clerks in this city,
who felt the consciousness that they would
have to go, now feel secure in the law which
Senator Pendleton made for the seeming pur-
pose of keeping worthy Democrats out of
office.
