State Gazette, October 10Th, 1888.
DIR. HANLoN's REPLY.
Editor Temperance Gazette
Sir-I notice in the Temperance Ga
zette of this week letter from Brother
Pittenger, criticising my recent lettcr on
the condition of labor in Europe. He
does me injustice III his letter by making
the impression on the readers mind that
/ maintain in my letter that it is free
trade that causes the distressed condi-
ton OF the laboring classes ia Europe.
/ make no such statement or allusion in
my letter. Brother Pittenger does me
injustice again in supposing that because
the laboring classes of the nations OF
Europe, whether those nations have free
trade or protection, are alike in a pitt
able condition free trade, therefore, in
this country would make no difference
to our laboring classes. Free trade in
the United States would at once equalize
the wages OF this country with the wages
in Europe, save the comparatively small
cost Of transporting the goods of Euro
pean manufacturers to the markets OF
the United States.
Free trade or protection in European
countries which are all crowded with
people, many OF whom are half starved,
makes but little difference between those
countries themselves, but it would max G
mighty big difference with our country,
where the condition of the laborine
classes is SO highly prosperous. Let me
illustrate. Suppose there are half a
dozen pasture fields adjoining each
other, all of them 0vercrowded with
focks, and the pasture very poor now
it does not matter much whether the
fences enclosing these separate fields arc
weak or strong, because there is no bet
ter pasture to be gained by going from
one field to another. But suppose ad
joining all these poor fields there is (
splendid pasture field where the flock
are well fed and happy, what would b.
said OF the farmer who argues that be
cause the fences, whether good or poor
between the bare pasture fields, made
but little difference between the hal
starved focks occupying them, it there
fore mattered but little to the well-fe6
focks whether the good pasture field
had strong or weak fence to protec
said flocks? Let Brother Pittengel
answer.
know Brother Pittenger too well Il
