at which these goods can be produced
in the United Stiles.
The benefits are, apparently, reserv-

goods.
The tariff protection which these
pillow makers enjoy. enables them to tx
tnIt extraordinary profits from Amr,i-
can farmers. In Canaaa they must com
pete with foreign manufacturers, and
hence the difference in the prir.s at
which the articles are sold for export.
Evidently the pillow ma. nfacturers Ot

rruiits in their business. Why should

demand for these articles is Get tain and
INCREASE every year. The margin al
profit is So large that Southern manu-
iactuters, from the showing above,
could undersril Northern makers aud
still have handsome return for tiie,
industries. We have the iron and tie

FOrepaugh's Show.

The Hon. Adam Forepaugh, one of
the oldest and most popular Snowman
in the world, will exhibit here We'd
nesday, Aug. 8. Of the exhibition the
Boston Transcript of June % says :
The opening performances of Fore
paugh's Circus and Wild West Show
were given yesterday in the huge
tents. There is an interesting collec-
ton of animals, the tiger cubs being,
probably, the most interesting feature
to many visitors.
The circus opens with procession,
followed by an exciting exhibition by
the Wild West Show, in which marvel
lous feats of Craftsmanship and shoot
ing hold attention. The rope walking
horse, Blondin, shows remarkable
degree of steadiness in walking on a
narrow plank suspended in mid-air.
George JagendorfOr performs remark
able feats of strength. Miss De Gran
vile, the woman with an iron jaw,
shows how much more graceful it is to
swing chair in this way instead of in
the conventional manner. There is
the usual amount of horseback riding
and tumbling, the elephants go
through their customary evOlutiOns
with almost military precision. The
Eugenes, the famous gymnasts from
Paris, gave the best feature of the per-
Torrance in their work on the trapeze.
The performance closed with the hip
podrome races, and, last of all, Adam
Forepaugh, Jr., drove thirty horses
about the ring, standing upon the
backs of the last two.
The superb riding of the cowboys
and Indians excited much admiration.

Ruined by Free Trade.

CCHS'
Great Britain has ruined every cOun-
try in the world which she has persuad-
ed or forced into free trade. Her
commercial treatise, cOzened out of
Portugal, Spain and Turkey, destroyed
the industries of each of those countries
and made them poor. Her cheap
goods crushed out the ancient house
hold manufactures of the Indian en-
pire, which she overran, and left mil
lions of the conquered people with the
bare subsistence of rice and water. A
British army of invasion forced China
to admit into her territory the opium
which British merchants could market
only in that empire, and forced the
entry through the custom houses of
China of British merchandise at the
destructive duty of two per cent. dd
UdIOrem. 1t was the massacre of the
industry of a magnificent and veneer
able empire, and of countless thous-
ands of poor Chinese men, women and
children. These cheap goods pirates
in like manner covered Japan with the
guns of their war ships, and compelled
her to receive the fiimsy products of
Birmingham, Manchester and Sheffield
at the uniform duty of five per cent. adj
Ualorem. That is free trade, and it is
strangling the life out of helpless
Japan.
The experience of Ireland is too well
known to need special mention here.
England, indeed, is the commercial
pirate of the world. She is now strain
ing her uttermOst to rob the United
States of it's industries and get control
of our market. If she succeeds, every
workingman and working woman in
this country will be brought to COM
parative poverty. You can't help los
ing the high wages You now receive.
If you retain any work at all against
the competition of the pauper- paid
labor of England, you will be compell-
ed by the competition to accept as
wages precisely that pauper pay.
Then perhaps you will love England
more than you do now.

How Thurman VIII Run.


This is a campaign rich with meta
phor, and nothing is richer than the
democratic opinions of the manner in
which the Old Roman will canter over
the course. One says, Thurman will
run like a scared wolf" Another West
ern member of the party of free trade
declares, cold Thurman will run like a
steer through a cOrnfield." A demo-
cratic governor remarks that "Thur-
man will go through the canvass like
butter through a tin horn" An Ohio
editor says that "The red bandana will
run like cat through a dog show"
and a Missouri organ shouts, "Thur-
man will run like Jack rabbit A
fluent Texan says Thurman will snap
onto the canvass, like a dog onto a
rabbit-skin, and fight 'em like wild
cat in a tin oven." A Pacific adherent
VOWS he will "run like a cyclone and
a Boston paper rounds out the garland
of metaphor by saying that Thurman
will run like man hit by jointed
snake" They omit to figure on Presi-
dent Cleyeland's pace.

PinkertOn's Army.
Nea0 York Sun.

Labor troubles in different parts OF
the country during 10 or IL years past
have been instrumental in bringing
about public demonstration of an in
teresting fact, viz, that there is in
America private business concern ca
pable of suddenly bringing into action
anywhere in the land, at the bidding
of individuals or corporations rich
enough to pay for their services, large
bodies of men armed, equipped and
drilled for effective military service,
Thus far nothing has occurred that has
seemed to require the development OF
such force in greater numbers at any
one point than 500 men, but the sys-
tenn by which they are put into the
field is perfected to such an extent that
there is hardly question of the abili-
ty to muster 5000 with almost equal
promptitude. The concern controlling
this military strength is Pinkerton's
national detective agency, the head
quarters of which are in Chicago, with
branches in New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia, st. Paul and Denver. While
there is a nominal dividing line be-
tween the detective service and the
