johnson, of that town, who is my author
ity for the statement, and wanted him to

for him for United States Senator. In JUS
tice to DR.. Fitch / will say he declined
the proposition. l will leave it to the pub
lie 10 say whether packing Legislature

In 1881 Mr.. Gladstone made a
speech at Leeds, England, in which
he took occasion to make some
comments, on 1.-The American sys-
tenn of protection" as it affects
England. He said:
'IwiII say this, that as long as
America adheres to the protective
system your commercial primacy is
secure. Nothing in the world can
wrest it from you while America
continues to fetter her own strong
hands and arms, and with these fet-
tered arms is to compete with you
who are free, In neutral markets. "

The same local assembly also paced this
resolution relative to the Mile bill:
WHEREAS, As textile workers, We have
for years felt the evil effects of tariff tax
on the raw materials Of our industries in
lessening our opportunities for work and
reducing our wages; and
WHEREAS, The present tariff laws i'm
pose hesvier tax upon the raw materials
and the party finished products than upon
the finished commodities, thus being d.
rectly in the interest of the foreign manu-
facturer; and
WHEREAS, The Mills bill reverses this
obvious discrimination against American
labor by grading the duties upward in &C
cordance with the amount of labor re-
quired to make the commodities; there

and considerations, do protest against the
continuance of the present unequal and
unjust system Of tariff schedules, and de-
mand the passage Of the Mills bill as q

upon statements from Senator Al
