The Protection Sentiment Among
Irish Americans.

Those who suppose that the bolt OF
lrish-Americans from the Democratic
ranks il chiefly confined TO New York,
are greatly in error. This movement is
taking place in all sections of the country.
There are the most substantial and endur-
ing reasons why citizens of Irish blood
should have an emphatic dislike of Free
Trade. Thomas F. Ryan, who is one of
the most prominent of the Irish-Ameri-
cans Of indianapolis, expresses himself
plainly and forcibly in this regard. He
Is Democrat Of thirty years standing,
but came over this year on account Of the
tariff. He says he knows Of many
changes ike his own in Indiana, and adds /:
I'm this campaign twice as many Irish
Americans will vote the Republican ticket
a. have ever voted it before. have been
among our people. know them and
have talked with them. They are deeply
interested in this free trade question
more than they ever have been in any
other political question that has come up
10 this country. They are reading on the
subject--those TO whom free trade is only
"a theory-but many of them know person
ally, from experience abroad, what effect
free trade has on the question of wages.
"The lrIshmen who left the old country
to come here, left because they could not
make living there and now that they
are settled here, now that they have adj
opted the life and customs of this country,
have become citizens and have built their
little homes here, they don't want to see
established in this country the conditions
which made it impossible for them to live
decently-in many cases to live at all-in
the old country.
Against such conditions they will vote
solidly, as far as they are sufficiently in
formed to understand them. Our people,
as class, are far more intelligent than
they used to be. Those who were origi-
nally ignorant, after living here for some
time, have gained considerable intelli-
gence by association with the people here.
Their sons and daughters have enjoyed
the advantages Of the American schools
and have intermarried with the native
Americans They feel that they are now
Americans themselves. They are patri-
otic, and will stand up for this country in
which are all their interests

The Wool Growers of New Zealand

One of the spots of the newly discov-
cred portion of the globe highly favored
by nature for sheep-raising is New Yea
land. With "A salubrious climate, fine
soil, separated from the countries of the
old world its cheap lands favor the pro-
duction Of wool at a low price. 10 have
Free Trade in the United States would be
a. favorable to the wool growers of that
American sheep raisers. 1t is not strange
that the war declared on the American
sheep by Cleveland in his December mes
sage and followed by the Mills bill should
give encouragement TO the wool producers
of favored British provinces possessing
large estates of cheap lands. Thus the
New Zealand Times has an article which
starts off with the funny assumption that
President Cleveland has been reelected
evidently confounding nomination with
election-and proceeds to express the
gratitude which New Zealand feels for
his excrtions in behalf of foreign wool
growers. Here is the article:
Wool growers throughout the colony will
no doubt, be pleased to note the unopposed
return of President Cleveland for another
term to the Presidential chair of the United
States. Cleveland has been a steady advo.

Protection and the Farming Interests.


Nothing is clearer in theory than that
diversified industries operate for the inter-
ests of those engaged in agriculture. But
the people engaged in farming could not be
asked to rely on this theory. if it had not
been demonstrated again and again by ex-
perience. In his speech in opposition to
the Mills bill, Congressman Burrows, of
Michigan, showed how diversified indus
tries have increased the value of farm
lands. 1t is table which cannot be too
closely studied by the farmer. No one
denies, Of course, that protection diversi-
fies the industries of country. The most
ardent free trader will admit that this has
been the result Of protection in this coun-
try. His objection is that the diversifica-
ton has been too expensive; that the
manufacturers have not paid for the aid
they have received from The tariff. We
shall see. however, that the value of farm
lands is greatly increased whenever the
industries of community are varied that
where the percentage Of farmers is small
est the value of farms per aere is largest,
and where the most of the community is
is engaged in agriculture the value of farm
land is lowest. Mr.. Burrows divided the
States and Territories into four groups.
In the first he placed that part of the
country where less than 80 per cent. of
the people are. engaged in agriculture; the
second, over 80 and less than so: the
third, over so and less than 20; the fourth,
80 and over. The average value per acre
of farm land in the 30 per cent. group is
1856. In the group where more than 30
per cent. and less than so per cent. of the
population are farmers, the value of an
acre of farm land is s30.55. In the third
it is sl3.53; in the fourth acre, 20 per
cent. and more, the value of farm lands is
only S5.lS an acre. Yet despite this con-
elusive testimony Democratic editors and
orators will 30 presume on the ignorance
as to try to prejudice them against Pro-
lection.

Auspicious.

From Maine to California, and from
Florida to the northern borders of Mime
sofa, there are harmony and enthusiasm
in the Republican ranks. At no time
since Bourbon Democratic guns Numbered
against Fort Sumpter has there been a
more determined resolution to place this
government in the control of the party
which saved it from destruction. and has
always been loyal to its interest When
the party that was unanimous against
slavery, and unanimous against disruption
of the Union, and that is unanimous
against Free Trade, and unanimous against

when this unanimous Republican Partv's
turn comes to speak next month. some
hody's going to hear something worth
listening to. Its a way the unanimous
Republican Party has. There is no need
of Boosting nor betting, but the true way
is put good words and votes where they
will do the most good.
