FREE TRADE PUSHED BY ENG
LAND.
Letter from Mr.. Sheard, Speaker New
York Legislature.

Letter from MIR. Sheard, Speaker New
York Legislature.
To the Editor of The Tribune:
SYR:-Much has been said about the
interest taken by English manufacturers
in the Democratic efforts to establish free
trade in this country, and about the
money said to be paid by them for that
purpose.
There are many Democrats Who dis
credit such reports and declare that if
they knew suoIl to be the case they would
never vote the National Democratic
ticket again. Such an expression made
by Democrat as above has influenced
me to write this letter and thereby give
to any fairminded man what ought to be
conclusive proof that Englishmen not
only take an interest in the matter but
that they do actually send over money to
assist the Democratic party in its en-
deavors to destroy our manufacturing
business.
A friend of mine was in Bradford,
England, some time ago, and being in
conversation with manufacturers, one
of them, understood to be the chairman
of certain local committee, said: "We
sent from Bradford in 1880, for the cleo
ton of your Free Trade Democratic
candidate, General Hancock, $780, 900
and if we in Bradford were sure that we
could elect free trade democratic presi
dent we corld raise from one to two mil
lions of dollars"
Now take this statement with the fact
that since the reduction of the Tariff on
July j, 1883, the importations have
greatly increased and from Bradford
alone the increase in the month of June,
1884, of their particular kind of worste0
and wooden goods over the month Of
June, 1888. was 9197,O0O (nearly ST.,
600 0O0.) In that do we not find the
sequel of their selfish interest in our
internal affairs!
What could be the increase if the
Democratic Free Trade should be estab
lished? have personal friends, manu-
facturers in the Yorkshire districts, who
openly admitted 10 me that they paid
assessments to the Golden Club continu-
ously to help establish and perpetuate in
this country their peculiar idea of tariff
for revenue only. Another instance l
think will also show their watchfulness
over our Congressional enactments A
few months ago The carpet weavers OF
Dewsbury, England, and other localities,
held meeting and appointed committees
to wait upon the different manufacturing
firms and ask an advance of their wages.
which the weavers claimed were too low,
and that they could not stand it any
longer. On their coming toge, her to
hear the several reports. the committee

their wages. hut if certain Free trade

thing but meet them fairly and brave
ly. A man against whom every hon
est voter in the party will rise up; a
man whose friends arc the notorious
foes of decent government.
Such is the candidate that the lead
ers of the Republican party will find
they have chosen when their muddled
brains are clear enough again to find
out anything. Let us say for them
still, as n body, that this was not their
unanimous choice. There were some
few among them who fought, earnest
ly and bravely, against the crime
which the majority have committed.
To them, all honor, all respect all
cheering friendliness in their honora-
bic and proud defeat. Never more
noble than now was that reverend
white head on which lies the light of
purity at which the trading, bartering
bribing rabble jeer, in their sordid
small wisdom. Honor be to that high
and clear-minded, courageous gentle
man Honor to the young men who
fought under his banner; taking most
of the goneralship into their stronger
hands! They have done their duty
well ; their failure has not stripped
them of the peoples trust and some
day they may lead to other victories
those whose hearts have but now fol-
lowed them to defeat. For is not this
brave struggle of theirs the sign of
the coming of the Independent New
Party
And now, what remains for lis to
do, who feel the indignity that has
been put upon us? There is only
one course to take, and the conscience
of the plainest man may tell him
what that is. To swear in our souls
that, whatever may be the noise and
the ridicule Of those who can take
their disgrace lightly, we will fight by |
vote, by argument, by speech and by
writing, by all fair and honest means,
against the contamination of the
wrong that is proposed by those who
would put James Blaine into the chair
of Abraham Lincoln. And if the
great party must die, let it die under
the daggers of its own sons, who kill
it to save it from the worst dishonor.

had ordered certain Is inch tile, and was
told that the Comptroller had done so on
the request of Aldermen Lynch and Guilt
gan.
As this tile had not been ordered by the
Council, warm discussion ensued. Camp
bell thought that no Alderman, or any
other official, had right TO order tile or
supplies without power from the Council,
and Owens said Lynch had no right to take
such liberties. In defense Aldermen Lynch
and Culligan claimed that there had been
private agreement between the Aldermen
whereby certain work would be done on
Seventh street sewer, and the unexpended
balance Of the street and sewer fund was to
be laid out on that sewer. The other Al
dcrmcn denied that they had entered in an
arrangement TO have work done on Seventh
street sewer. If there was any money left,
they had no objection, but Owens said there
would be no money left when the present
sewers ordered were done. Lynch charged
that Owens did not report as had been
agreed, and Owens said he did.
The discussion was cut short by Alder
man Wheeler stating that q motion to adj
joun had been before the Council for half
an hour, and had been supported, whereup-
on the Council adjourned, the time being
after ten o'clock.

the Democrats. Those who have
aroused the deep and general protest
of the Republican conscience must
bear the responsibility of the result.
Fidelity to Republican principle re-
quires indifference to present Republi-
can success, and Harper's Weekly,
which more than once has not hesitat-
ed in the interest of public morality
and of party publication to oppose
other Republican nominations, can
not sustain the significant one against
which it has so earnestly protested,
and which is n practical abdication Of
Republican character and purpose.

whose portrait hung in the hal, Scent

convention with an air Of earnest sol
itude and apprehension and it had
disappeared from its place before the

What Some Republican Newspapers
Say About Blaine's Nomination.

IICk.
What is this that the leaders of the
Republican party have done9 AS
sembled in convention at Chicago, to
choose their candidate for the Presi-
dency of the United States, they have,
amid the bowling Of hirelings and the
clamor Of hot-headed fools, made
choice of the one man whose very
name stands for all that is wholly bad
in their organization. They have
chosen n man whose nomination is
an insult to the country, whose cleo
ton would be an ineradicable disgrace.
In these first days, before the flush of
their over-heated foolishness has cool
cd away, they do not realize what
they have done in one mad moment.
Later they will see it, and be afraid,
and, it may be, some few will have
the grace to be ashamed. Then, hav-
ing got out of the fever and glare of the
convention hall, they will look at the
man Of their choice in the chill light
of truth. And what will they see?
A man who has Dishonor for an
ally, on whom Corruption fawns for
favor. A man whose name for years
has been banded about in bold and
confident accusation of dishonesty.
A man whose trickiness, whose un.
worthy cleverness, whose shiffy craft
have been the theme of common jest.
A man who will now have to meet clear
and specific charges Of dishonesty
to meet them? Nay, he will shrink
away from them, he will ovade them,
he will slip out Of them and around
them and under them, and affect not
TO see them; and if he be made to
sec them, make out somehow TO put
them aside with bluster aud bullying
do anything, try anything-any-

Ten Good Reasons.

The Michigan Commission OF I'M
migration gives the following ten rea-
sons why the farmer, manufacturer or
capitalist in search Of Il home, mater
ial, or field for investment, should
come to Michigan:
1st. Because no other State pre-
scnts so great a diversity Of soil. The
climate is equable, the seasons well
defined, and crops Of all kind are rails
ed under the most favorable condi-
tons.
2nd. Because desirable agricultur-
al and timbercd lands arc to be had at
prices ranging from $1.25 to 815 per
acre. These lands are situated near
markets, and, when timbercd, the tim
Der produced will more than pay the
cost of clearing. Taxes are low and
the State has no debt.
Ord. Because all cereals and all
vegetables are raised with marked
success in nearly every county in the
State. This fact should impress itself
upon every land seeker who may think
Of locating in western Territories,
where wheat alone can be raised, par
ticularly since the low price Of this
cereal is likely to render its produc-
ton Improbable.
4th. Because it is the best fruit
State in the Union. The variety and
excellence Of its fruits have never
been eXcelled.
9th. Because its vast meadows and
wood lands afford the best possible OPP
portunities for grazing. The reputa-
ton of Michigan cattle and sheep is
already worldwide.
9th. Because it has q magnificent
groNh Of woods, both hard and soft,
which arc convertible Into Il variety
of useful articles in daily use all over
this country and the world and its
location on the border Of the growing
prairie States will make every foot Of
timber valuable.
9TH. Because the iron, copper,
slate, stone, plaster, salt, coal and oil
industries Of Michigan would in them
selves sustain the great reputation the
State has achieved, were agriculture
and numbering unknown within its
borders.
Sth. Because good markets are to
be found in every county. Railroad
and water transportation combine to
make rates to the seaboard much low
or relatively than in many States.
9Th. Because the varied resources
above enumerated afford n field for
manufactures Of all descriptions.
Water-power is to be had in every
county, and the expense of carrying
on factories is thus reduced to the
minimum.
10th. Because the educational adj
vantages offered by the schools and
colleges Of Michigan are unsurpassed.
Education, practically free, is availa-
bic throughout the entire State.
