We are indebted TO Senator German, for a
copy of his speech on Canadian Lines of Trans
porlation, which was delivered in the Senate
August Sd, 1883. Senator Germans speech is
valuable contribution 10 the history of our
commercial relations with Canada and will be
read with much interest together with Presi-
dent Cleveland's recent message. 1t displays
the political sagacity of our respected Senator
aud will add TO his reputation as a legislator.
Hon. Frank 7. Shaw has our thanks for a
copy of Hon. Roger q. Mills great speech in
Congress on tariff reform. Mr. Mills speech
presents an unanswerable argument to the Re-.
publican assertions that his bill means free
trade. A reduction of the tariff from A. TO 40
per cent, with duties high enough to protect
every American industry, can not, with any sem
bIance of truth, be called free trade.
Hon. II. W. Blair, of the U. s. Senate, will
also please accept our thanks for copy of his
remarks on the prohibition amendment to the
Constitution of the United States.

How an Iron Firm Protects American
WOrkingmen.

The Messrs. Roberts, of the Pencoyd Iron
Works, Philadelphia, have caught tartar in
the Philadelphia Times. The firm named
have been extremely loud in praise of a hip!,
tariff, in behalf of American workmen. The
Times copied from the Record detailed
statement showing how much scincerity
there was in the professions of the firm. by
laying bare the fact that they had discharged
large number OF American workmen and
supplied their places with imported foreign
laborers, who could work at lower prices.
At The same time the columns of the Times
were freely offered to the Messrs. Roberts, to
answer the grave charges preferred against
them. The Messrs. Roberts admit That thew
employ 132 Huns and Poles about their
works but, as the Times says they forget to
answer why they employ 1872 cheap import
ed laberers in an industry protected to the
extent of 40 to so per cent, TO the exclusion
of American workmen. The Times adds:
"Just to the extent that the Messrs Roberts
employ cheap imported labor, and thereby
reduce both employment and wages for
American labor, they appropriate to their
own pockets the protection the law gives to
labor by protecting their business"
