Facts for Wage Farmers.

Under the caption OF "Questlons for
Wage Farmers" the Boston journal makes
the automatic proposition that "Auy legis-
lation which will transfer the production Of
any article of general use from this country
TO another takes away from American labor
and American capital employment aud in.
vestment to that extent.n This is fol-
lowed by another statcmeut-equally self
evident, although It may not be universally
conceded-to wit, that "the object OF those
who demand reduction Of our tariff is to
lower the price Of certain goods to the con-
sumer by making the competition between
American industry and foreign industry
more nearly equal" The journal cites the
well.known fact that labor in these in
dustries In the United States Is paid from
20 to 100 per cent. more than 10 competing
European countries, and adds that when
the wall OF protection is loveled, as the
free traders and revenue reformers de-
mand, the wages Of American labor en-.
ployed in these competing industries must
be reduced TO about the level OF the
wages OF labor In the competing coun.
tries, or the production will be trans.
ferred to the cheaper-labor countries and
American labor left without the employ
ment such production Afforded. To EN-.
force this great lesson the following illus
tration is given:
BY the revision of the tariff March 3, 1891,
the duties on certain grades of woolen and
worsted goods were reduced from 23lS {, 81
| per cent, The year before that law went into
| operation s317iO77 worth of these goods were
imported, while during the first year that II
was in force the imports of such goods were
| valued at s6,Oli,4s9. That is, the production
of nearly S3ODOOOO worth Of goods hitherto
manufactured by American labor aud factorle.

The Boston Piioi, in emphasizing the adj
vice Of the National League, "Don't buy any
goods where English goods are sold, says;
We promise tha, the ilrst dealer in any staple
rommodi,y who makes public announcement
of the fact NO English goods sold here" will
find himself overwhelmed by surprising run
OF trade. Try it aud sec.
But the Pilot is using it's decided ability
and extended influence In support OF
party whose policy would food oil our
markets with English goods and close our
factories. Has the able editor OF the Pilot
read, marked, and inwardly digested the
tariff clause in the letter of Secretary Man

English free-trade system, pure and simple.

The usual force and recklessness OF the
entertaining Kentucky journalist The
conclusion Of the letter, in which COM
parison is instituted between the present
positions of France and England, will be
most interesting TO the American reader.
Mr.. WatteTsOn considers that France Is

whereas the monarchy across the channel
is tending toward republic, which can
only DC reached, as in all other countries,
through revolution. Wealthy Americans

no titles worth bending before In

way to London, where the general
Gtcadence of an old aristocracy gives to
wealthy paryenues some opportunity for
buying themselves into the circle OF the
elect. Mr.. Watterson's philosophical
methods of history are all his own. He Is
not overburdened with erudlton, and gem
orally seems to regard facts as only made
for slaves. lie is not Nlebuhr, Gibbon,

THE New York Herald promises to sup

a large field for his operations, and that, as
he must educate the people, he had better
establish himself in the great national
