Parliament Writes.


TO the Editor Of EVENING Journal
In a work entitled "A Manual Of Politi
cal Economy" by H. Fawcett, M. p, !
discovered the following, which working
men should ponder over before voting for
Cleveland and free trade:
"Cheap labor is the most valuable gift
to America and our surplus population,
which would become burdensome to us IL
there had been no emigration, is provid-
ing America with the labor she SO much
needs.
In twelve years-1S49 to 1s61-our
exports advanced from $50, 900 600 to
e120, 600, 600 and our imports in the same
period exceeded e300, 100000 per annum.
But this increase Of national prosperity
has as vet effected no corresponding i'm
pIovement in the condition Of the labor
ing classes. Some workmen have been
able TO obtain an increase in their wages
barely sufficient TO compensate them for
the greater cost Of living For instance,
coal, meat, butter milk and cheese have
risen in price during the last thirty years
more than thirty per cent.
NO subject in Che whole range Of
economic science can be Of greater prac-
tical interest than TO attempt to explain
how IL happens that many laborers do
not receive greater remuneration
some Of them even receiving less than
they received twenty years since, when
the trade Of the country was not half
what it is at present.
The advocates Of free trade confidently
predicted that unrestricted commerce
would almost extinguish paupefism.
After thirty years of free trade pauper-
ism is still one Of the most formidable Of
all social and economic difficulties
England would be largely benefited
by the active stimulus which would be
given to her iron trade If America would
remove protective duties upon manufac
tured iron.
america can never compete with
England in the markets Of the world
until she has cheaper labor

Sketch of One of the Proprietors OF The

The profession of journalism loses an
able man in Royal NJ. Pulsifer, of The
Boston Herald, whose death occurred re-
Gently in Boston under peculiar circum-
stances. Mr.. Pulsifer was but 40 wears
of age. During the whole of his active
career ne was connected with The Boston
Herald. When he was studying at a
commercial college the proprietor Of the
paper sent to the college for a boy to
work in his counting room. Young Pull
sifer was sent down to The Herald Office
and the next day began work.
Some twenty years ago several part
ners were taken into the proprietorship
Of the paper, and Mr.. Pulsifer was one Of
them. Under q subsequent arrangement
in 1860 the original proprietor sold his
interest to the new partners, and Mr..
Pulsifer became business manager. and
soon after 1.-THE number of partners was
reduced to three, and in March last Mr.
Pulsifers two partners retired and left
him sole proprietor.
