The New York sun, an ably edited pa
per, Of wide circulation. Is not in the best
of repute with the other Democratic news
papers. because it is inclined to speak
boldly its opinions and to make very frank
admissions. Ii does not hesitate to speak
of the English Ere Traders in way not
at all in the spirit of Cleveland's last De
cember message, nor does it show proper
gratitude for the strong support the Eng
fish press and English politicians have
been for some time giving the Democratic
party. 1t is very obvious that the Demo-
cratic newspapers generally touch very
lightly, if at all, on certain incidents in
Great Britain's career of conquest and her
cosmopolitan craftsmanship for the bene-
fit of British manufacturers, merchants
and capitalists, for fear of offending their
allies in Free Trade propagandism. The
sun cannot like the presuming airs of the
British editors, especially those who fill
the columns of the London Times and the
Saturday Review, the bitterest enemies of
American ideas and interests. The fol-
lowing is the plain language of this indie
pendent Democratic newspaper:
Great Britain has ruined every country in
the world which she has persuaded, or forced
into free trade. Her commercial treaties,
c0zened 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 household
manufactures of the Indian empire, which
she overran, and left millions of the con-
quered 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 mar
ket 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 adj valorem. 1t was the mas
sacre of the industry of magnificent and
venerable empire, and of countless thousands
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
tlimsy products of Birmingham, Manchester
and Sheffield at the uniform duty of ) per
cent al valorem. That is free trade and it
is stranging the life out of helpless Japan.
me experience OF Irelahu Is 100 well
known TO need special mention here.
England, indeed is the commercial pirate
of the world. She is now straining her ut
most to rob the United States of its industries
and get control of our market If she sue
ceeds, every workingman and workingwoman
in this country will be brought to compare
tive poverty. You can't help losing the high
wages YOU now receive. If you retain any
work at all against the competition of the
pauper-pad labor of England, you will be
compelled by that competition to accept as
wages precisely that pauper pay.
Then perhaps you will love England more
than you do now"

Damartscotta.
A special correspondent gives the Journal
graphic description of the beauties and
natural attractions of Damariscotta Lake,
(Which is only one of the hundreds of beau
tiful Maine lakes which are now beginning
to attract the attention of summer visitors
from other states), in which he says -
On approaching the lake from the direction
of Cooper's Mills; from the summit of the
last hill, one is struck with the beautiful
panorama spread out before him. There is
the lake, apparently at his feet, huge mir
ror encased in beautiful green frame, inter-
spersed with relieving white dots in the shape
of dwellings of the citizens and the cottages
of summer visitors. The lake being sup
piled, like Crooked Lake, Geneva, n. Y, with
underground springs render its waters
cool and limpid all through the summer,
the height of its surrounding hills, and its
little distance from the railroad station make it
impervious to the inroads of mosquitoes, and
desirable as summer resort The people
who live about the lake are mostly descended
from the old Puritan stock, and any kindness
or courtesy they can confer, is only consid-
cred duty and pleasure, which they owe
to visiting strangers. There are on the Dor
ders of the lake many sandy beaches where
bathing may be INDUCED in to the 'heart's
content" The hotel at East jefferson at the
lake is presided over by gentleman who
knows how to keep hotel" and who is
equally as obliging to the departing as to the
coming guest.

The Canadians and the English See It

At long range, in England, and at short
industry observe with accuracy the situa-
ton here. This is the view taken by ''The
Montreal Gazette of the issues at stake
in the coming election:
Canadians have a special and deep interest
in the Presidential contest in the United
States. The Fishery Treaty might
possibly be ratified by the Senate, if Mr.
Clevelands administration is approved by
the people There can be no doubt
that the chances of its ultimate acceptance
will be greatly increased if Mr.. Cleveland's
administration is indorsed.
There is, however, an even more important
reason why Canadians should wish for the
success of Mr.. Cleveland. The great issue
of the day among our neighbors is tariff re-
form. Mr.. Clevelands success mean
ing the passage of the Mills bill, and the
passage of the Mills bill meaning a free
market in the United States for our lumber
wool iron ore, salt and some other products
Canadians will watch with deep interest the
progress of the campaign and the final out
come.
There you have it, plain and Hat. 4
vote for Mr.. Cleveland is a vote to aid the
fishermen, wool-growers, lumbermen and
others of Canada at the expense of those
of the United States. The question for
Americans to decide is whether they are
in favor of prosperity at home or prosper
ity abroad.
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlains's paper, THE
Birmingham Post" frankly says that 1--WE
are directly concerned in the issue of the
contest" Columns could add nothing
English manufacturers are directly CON
cerned" in Mr.. Cleveland's reelection. and
for very good reasons Boston advertiser.
OF course they are. With raw materials
on the free list, our manufacturers wouldere
lopg be able to compete with English manu-
facturers in all the markets of the world.
They are SO much concerned" that about
the last thing they hope for is the adoption
of the policy of tariff revision which Presi-
dent Cleveland advocates 1t would be mil
lions out of the pockets of English manu-
facturers and into the pockets of American
producers. Brooklyn Eagle.
Ii our foreign rivals for the control of
the American markets were little more
modest as well as more reserved in their
expression of opinion, it might be better
for their cause. Certainly they wonld
embarrass less the Cleveland editors and
orators. their friends and allies. But
having humbugged Bayard and his COM
missioners into the fishery surrender,
they feel confident of being able to aid
their American allies in gaining their
cause in the coming November election.

TElmira Advertiser (Rep1l.

a gentleman connected with one of FL
mira'a largest manufactures. whose bust
ness takes him into many states, says that
ing the last few months he has seen a
very significant movement going on among
workingmen. The movement to which
the Elmiran referred is the attitude of
workingmen on the Protection issue. He
says that he is surprised to find that the
question has been so thoroughly discussed
among the great army of workingmen.
They have kept well informed on every
step of the controversy. and can give
most satisfactory reasons for their deter
mination to vote for Protection rather
than for Free Trade, or for any movement
that points toward Free Trade.

Appointed Mine Inspector.

The announcement Monday of the
appointment of Hon. r. L. Brown
ing as Inspector of Mines. created
some surprise, as his name had never
been associated with that appoint
ment. The Senator's many friends
in county express their pleasure at
his good fortune.
The Cumberland Times of Tuesday,
in commenting on the appointment.
says:
r. T. Browning. of Garrett county,
has been chosen mine inspector for
Allegany and Garrett counties. We
had hoped that this position might
be retained by AlIegany, but as it
has fallen to our sister county, there
is no man, out of Allegany, upon
whom the mantle could fall with bet
ter grace than Dick Browning. A
man of sterling worth, widely known
and generally esteemed and trusted,
Mr.. Browning will make a good i'll
spector. He may not be practical
miner, but he is a most honorable,
competent man, in whose hands the
rights OF miner and operator will be
alike respected and preserved inviO-
late.
