present and future policy of his country. Driving
one day with young deputy from Paris to Yer

long and important speech to make. which have
not even had time to think over" The silence
therefore, remained unbroken, and on looking
round his friend saw that he was not deep in

TALLY statesman. France dnring the past year

A BOILER manufacturer in Pennsylvania
says "the protective tariff protects me from
selling six boilers in foreign countries, and
limits me to selling one at home. The tar
i IF has no effect whatever in keeping up the
price Of labor in America. Labor Is
cheap in England because $4,000, 600 peo-
pie are crowded into space not much
larger than the States Of Indiana and Ohio.
When America has population of 3,22o,-
900, which would be required to make Its
area as crowded as England's is, it is likely
that our wages will be as low as hers. But
if protection be Continued much longer you
will find that the tariff will reduce wages
That is bound to be the result" Anti-pro'
tectionists always have said that free trade
would benefit the owners OF manufactures
as we'll as the hands they employ, and they
are sustained by what this Titusvllle
boiler manufacturer says.

which Mahone's returning board gave the
