The pinerepce.

England is free-trade country. The
United States is not. The results of the
two policies, so far as the laborer Ia con-
cerned, are striking, aud should be deeply
pondered by our wage earners. To show
the difference in rcsult9 to tho laborer, we
invite the attention Of our workingmen to
two facts, which are so simple and yet so
striking that every one can understand
them and grasp their import:
In the United States, under protection,
out of every 500 laborer earns he gets,
for himself and family, S72; capital get,
$23 and the Government IS.
In England, under free. trade, out of every
s1O0 earned by lsborer, he gets sj6; capital
gets SCI and the Government takes S23.
Commenting on these two statements,
the Boston journal says:
To make tho difference in remuneration of
the laborer In the two countries more EN-.
phatic, let us introduce the fact that the wage
OF the workingman In the United States Is rs
per cent greater than 1t is In Groat Britain.
That is, as often as the British worklngman
S17b. For his own uso the British working.
man receives but $50 OF his compensation,
while the American workingman receives az
per cent. Of his, or s126. That is, of the pro-
ducte Of given number of days of labor tho
American laborer receives for his own use
$2.25 as often as tho British laborer receives
81.
In the United States the revenue syste N is
so framed as TO take the least possible amount
from labor for the support OF Government.
In Great Britain the revenue system PLACES
The burden OF supporting Government up)a
the poorly paid labor OF the country.
And vet u considerable party In the United
statt vould have us adopt the British system
Now, on the other hand, let us look at the
results Of the two policies to the consumer
Here IS a list showing the difference in prices
in this country and in England:

In the Star OF Thursday appears the opinion
OF Senator Jonas, OF Louisiana, who says that
Cleveland will carry Michigan and all the
States north OF Mason and Dixon's line, as we'll
as all south OF II.
His recent visit to the Headquarters of tho
Democracy has evidently filled MIN with
something warming that causes him to ayoW
30 sanguine belief.
IhaSe recently come from Michigan, and
from personal knowledge of the situation,
would like to show on what slight grounds the
Senator places his hopes.
or course the Democrats base all their ex-
pectations on the result OF the election In
1882 when the Fusion candidate was elected
In 1880 Garnold received 1884; Han
cock, 13l, ,507, and Weaver, 31,SO6; Gariield's
majority over Hancock, 1874, and over all,
1880.
Jerome, for Governor, received 1894;

But, General, it was not 80 much what you

uppose on the purity of its drinking water.
Impure water is prolific source of disease.

Nay, more, it is reacting on those who

A DEMOCRATIC exchange rejoices over
what it terms the conversion of Walker,
late head of the Census Bureau, to Democ.
racy. The D. G. is away off on that subject
Here in Washington it is no secret that tn,
political proclivities of this man Walker are
Democratic, The Republicans have always
charged that his aflinities for the Democ-
racy were SO strong that he filled his office
full of Democrats-male and female. If all
conversions to Democracy are like this one
of Walkers, the result at the polls will not
be very satisfactory to Mr.. Cleveland aud
the men who nominated him.
