Free Trade and Protection.

Free trade leads certainly and surely TO
the degradation Of workingmen. 1t re-
CARDS men and women a. mere brute
machines It has no consideration for
their wants as human beings. The need
of comfortable homes decent clothing.
health and sufficient food, education,
books, recreation, religious instruction,
does not enter into the calculations of
free traders concerning the men. women
and children whom they employ. To
distance competition in manufactures and
other industries, by grinding workingmen
down to the smallest pittance that will
permit Of keeping body and soul together,
is the problem that most engages their
attention. The effect of this has often
been pointed out by comparisons between
the wages and condition of laborers under
the protective system in the United States
and those of laborers in countries where
free trade prevails. As an example of
the poverty and degradation found among
the laborers of free trade England, we
quote the following from 4 letter recently
published in the Philadelphia Press by
Robert r. Porter. who has seen, investl-
gated. and knows that OF which he writes
He saws:
The great masses of the workingmen
and women OF this country, unless they are
foreign born, know nothing of the real con
ditinn of European labor. What, for ex-
ample, do they know of the region where
nails, rivets or chains are made in England
They are engaged in making all kinds of
nails, rivets and chains The work is done
in a little smithy attached to the hnyels in
which the workers reside, aud for which the
usual rent seems to be about sixty To seventy
cent. week. These houses, as rule, con.
tain little or no furniture. They are filthy
and wretchcd beyond description. What spare
time the unhappy naier's wife gets from
nursing the baby aud preparing the meagre
meal, Is spent ut the smithv fire pounding at
the anvil until late at pight, but the extra
work that the women does, combined with
that OF one child-say a girl of fourteen
will barely keep the family from starvation.

steadily from Monday till Friday night the
usual working time, can only make two and
half bundles of iron rods into nails. for
