Last year bill was introduced into Con.
gress by Col. Morrison. lie called 1t a
taliif revision. Tariff reform, Messrs.
Wat!erson, Hurd, Hewitt, Morrison,
Tucker and other retormers, say has come
to stay. It is for You to say whether ii
shall or not by your action this fall. The
great advocate OF free tride In this coun.
try is England. II you are tho friend OF
England am not. i have left England
forever. | have had the experience Of
working in free trade England and know
what it Is 10 work under m English iron
master. In England the iron master has
control Of his workmen. Why did leave
England? !, like YOU, came here to better
my condition. Did you come here
to live without work? II you

me. Applause But they say the Amer.
lean manufacturer is monopolist II lie
| is the English manufacture is much
greater one. The English manufacturer is
much Weather and much more powerful
than tho American manufacturer. He
rules his workinsmen, pays them the
wages he himself chooses 10. One OF the
greatest manufacturers in this country
said to mo lately: "Mr. jarrett, do YOU
think the English will buy our wheat and
agricultural products il we do not buy
theiriron andstce. products?' said, "Yes,
sir; do think they will, because Of the
lact that they cannot themselves raise
enough to sustain them. Itel you that ii
we cannot sell to England then we can
form market for It in this coun-
try and consume it here" The
same man said to me: "Do YOU
proposeto makea few manufacturers OF tin
| rich in this country by making tin hcrc?'
! said "Yes; it will give forty thousand
laborers work ut honest wagcs.n Mr.. Jar
rett ut this point illustrated the beneficial
results Of tariff by giving at great length
the wages paid for several kinds OF labor
here and in England. In England he said
where fvo million one hundred and six
thousand dollars are paid for work on tin,
thirteen million six hundred and seventy
two doM..ssrs would be paid in this country.
rARIfs IN \ NUTSHELL.
Employment 10 labor is tariff in
nutshell The richest men in the world
are those in countries where labor is the
| IhShpSoL. pololC tuC WIT tlle heultuy
men Of this country we're the Southern
planters, and why? Because they paid
nothing for labor. In China one man is
worth Il hundred times as mucl! as our
own Vanderbilt. In England the nan,i-
facturer is worth more than the manufac-
tuer in America. Free trade has
ruined ireland and tho Irshman does
not live who loves England, or il there
does live one who says he loves England
he is Il traitor to his country. [Grcat mp
planse. England says that Grover Cleye-
land should be President. l say | shall
condemn the man whom England recon-
mends. The English press supports Mr..
Cleveland, and shall most assurodly vote
against him, il for no other reason, The
great reason urged by free traders in favor
Of their theory is foreign market, III We
do not have free trade, they say,"wes shall
have no market outside OF this coun-
try" say. let us Tux everything,
every article that we make ourselves which
attempts to come into this country. The
reason Of the superiority of the merchant
marine OF England over that of this
country and every other country was ex-
planned by Mr.. jarrett in the usual man
ner. Mr.. jarrett paid organized labor a
tribute for its contribution to the exist
cnce ofa tariff. He said: "tYou get your
wages for your work. II you do not take
care OF your own interests no one will.

IlEwlrrs INCONSISTENCY.
The Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, a large iron
manufacturer, asserted that tradcs.unions
are protection to capital md manu-
LECTURERS, but as soon rs l organized his
men he shut down his mill and said he
would employ no man Gonnceted witbthe
An,algamation. From tho time OF
Fernando Wood till the present the Demo-
cfats having been trying to reduce the
tariff, The free trader talks to the farmer
about the EXCESSIVE price he pays for his
tea coffee and other articles. The farmer
frequently does not reflect pppp the in
creased prices no gets for his products
under the protective tariff.
