Here is a picture of Ireland's progress
under British free trade" 1.-THE estab-
lished branches of production and COM
merce are taking wider sweep. Emigra-
ton, while it has made more room for
those who remained, has reacted on the
country by the increased wealth and po-
sition of those who have sought fortune
abroad. Social ameliorations are also
making progress. A better sys-
tenn of agriculture has been introduced,
and with it a larger demand, and conse
quently better remuneration for labor.
At the same time education is expand
ing, while sectarian animosity is
decreasing; and the hope may be
INDUCED that this long depressed
country is now entering upon a period
OF substantial improvement and pros
perity." You may think that is an ex-
tract from q democratic campaign docu-
ment, but il is not. 1t comes from book
that may be found in many homes in In
diana, and is commonly recognized as
authoritative. 1t is from the article on
ireland in the" American Encyclopedias"
With the means for information which are
within reach OF nearly every one in this
state, do you not think that any mans
audience ought to blush for his ignorance
when he saws that English free trade
ruined Ireland?"
The lesson which Ireland's history has
for us is this: ANY system of taxation or
legislation which, without compensation,
transfers the gains OF one state or region
to another, whether under the same
government or moi, must necessarily injure
the tributary state, and, if persisted in,
bring it to ruin. The Irish volunteers
understood that when they inscribed on
their cannon 'free trade or hell" and
our revolutionary ancestors understood it
when they dumped the tarif-taxed tea
into Boston harbor. They could not be
fooled with the pretense that the mer-
chants who shipped the goods here paid
the taxes on them. They knew that the
consumer paid the tax when he bought
the goods, and therefore they rebelled
against the unjust taxation of themselves.

To TIE EDIToR-Sir: When the steel-rail

Chesterfield, Ind, Oct. 2. r. c. G..
There is, we believe, no instance on record of
a protected manufacturer advancing the rate
of wages voluntarily because of the increase
Of the tariff his products, or be
cause he and his fellow-manufacturer had
increased their profits by running "cnrner" or
forming trust" The only agency by which
wages have been maintained at living rate in
the iron and steel industry is the powerful or
ganization of the workers known as the ANAL
pamated association" This association fixes
q scale of wages once a year. and asks the man.
ufacturers to accept it. There is usually a
long controversy, and the manufacturers get
then accept 1t, unless trade is dull and they
think ii best to close their works and run off
to Europe for a month or two. The scale once
fixed, there is no change in wages for year, no
matter how high prices may go, unless the
scale has been arranged on sliding basis Z"
as is sometimes done. For whatever share of
the product of the iron and steel mills the
workingmen get above a bare subsistence they
are indebted to their trades union and not TO
the tariff or the generosity of their employers.
This fact was testified to by John Jarrett be-
fore the senate committee on education and
labor, and will be vouched for by every honest
man who has investigated the subject

IMPORTING NEGROES.
An Old scheme of Republicans A gain b. cir
Worked,

An Old scheme OF Republicans Again Being
Worked,
A favorite, but by no means new or
novel method employed by the republican
managers to influence the election, is by
the importation of negroes from Ohio,
Kentucky and Illinois. Since early
in the canvass this work OF importa-
ton has been going steadily on.
In this city 'slick negroes" VINO are
apparently on the best of terms with the
powers that be around republican head
quarters may be seen at the station on
the arrival OF each train, evidently wait
ing for some one TO alight. Soon a son of
Africa, with carpet-sack in hand, gets off
n train and looks about with an air of one
entirely unfamiliar with his surround
ings Once off the train he is bounced
upon by one of the "slick" local negroes
who whispers something in the new-com-
er's ear and pilots him into outer dark
ness. Certain quarters in Indianapolis
are rapidly filling up with strange negroes
who, having no visible means of support
are maintained in idleness, and who un-
derstand that they are here for the pur-
pose OF being voted in November.
The capital city is not alone in its re-
ceipt of these Immigrants. In nearly every
town and village in the state some of them
have been planted, and all are distin-
guished by the same lack of employment
and sufficiency of funds on which to sus-
tain an existence. This is an old scheme
of the republicans, but it is being resorted
TO more extensively this year than ever
before It's development is but another
evidence of the desperation of the repub-
lcan leaders.

This pitiful condition remained for fifty
years, until the Irish volunteer movement
struck at its cause and secured partial
repeal of these obnoxious laws. On April
10, 1850, in moving the Declaration of
Irish Rights" Henry Grattan said to the
Irish house of commons, 1.-THE ground of
public discomfort seems to be, we have
gotten commerce but not freedom; the
same powerwhich took away theexporto of
woolens and the export of glass may take
them away again; the repeal is partial,
and the ground of repeal is upon prin-
ciple OF expediency." He pushed the
fight until the English crown assented
to the principle that Ireland had
the right of legislation for her
self, on May q, 1882. But while
this step was gained land afterward
lost the system of absentee landlordism
continued and grew, and by it the agri-
cultural gains of Ireland were steadily
drained into England for expenditure,
and this evil, which is very similar to the
drain of protection from the agricultural
to the manufacturing classes, unhappily
continues to tie present time.
While the wages of Irish agricultural
laborers are not high to-day, they are in
fnitely better than at the close of the era
OF British protection, for in 1914 Daniel
O'Connell declared that farm wages
averaged from to II cents day. In
other respects the economic condition of
Ireland is also improving. Here are the
official statistics showing her growth in
three branches of manufacture during six
years OF British free trade:"

GLADYS seated a little ways of on a bee

leaning fondly against her knee. With
reluctance he left Christslea as the clock

He was pleased, interested, and angered
with himself that such a man should have
been resident of his own lands so long
and wholly unknown to and unnoticed
by him. AS he rode through the cold,
dusky shadows of the moors, fitfully
lighted by a moon which played at hide
and seek with the clouds, he saw always
before him the child's face of Gladys
Vernon, with its brilliant, resolute eyes,
which grew SO soft when she looked at her
father.

made up half of physical attraction and
half OF higher admiration.

to see in the next issue the democratic admin

that the republican administration kept them
in power when their places could have been
filled with ex-Union soldiers. Having served
