A Chat With Gen. Malone,

"All we have to do is to open the
ballot boxes and have the vote

Thus spoke General Malone

continued the general. "From all

"Oh, Harrison is all right" was
the reply. "The candidate plays
no great part in this campaign on
either side; It's the issue, the prln'

contending that are going to count.
It's protection against free trade,

HOW IT WILL WORK.
From the Toledo Blade.

The Blade has permission to pub
lish the following extract from a
private letter, received by bust
ness man of this city from friend
in Philadelphia. 1t is valuable not
only as showing the wide disparity
in wages in one line of industry be-
tween England and the United
States, but also as an indication OF
what will happen to this country's
manufactures should the tree trade
Democracy succeed in carrying out
their ideas. The writer is speaking
of person who is largely interest.
ed in a certain line of patented
goods, manufactured of iron wire
in factories in Philadelphia and al.
so in London;
He said they had started a fac
tory in London, England, where
they employ from 100 to 200 hands.
| thought he would be the man to
tell me of the difference in wages
of workmen in the two countries,
so l asked him. He said they en-
ploy principally women in both
countries, and that they have about
the same number Of hands in Lon
don and in Philadelphia. The
wages paid are
England. America.
Women, per week.. sl.5O 5000
Men, per week $50 to 81 $l2 to tl5
He also states that as soon az the
duty on wire and wire work Is re-
duced, they propose 10 remove all
their machines to England, and
ship only finished goods here. They
are now bringing a large share Of
their wire from there, paying 80
per cent duty on 1t.
Now, it looks to me as though
the hands here will have to go
without work after the duty is cut
down, unless they are willing TO
work for the prices given on the
other side-and just see the diner
ence :
That is but one example out OF o
thousand. The Mills bill is but a
forerunner of further reductions II
the Democratic party is kept in
power; and the alternative stated
above will be presented to Aneri-
can workingmen-tO be thrown out
of work.. or to accept wages at least
one.half less. That is all there ID
in it.

Great Britain Knows Where She Is.

Oh, no. the Democratic platform
doesn't mean free trade, The Lon.
don SATURDAY Rcrie,c says:
They have, from whatever mo-
tive, resolved to adopt q FREQ trade
policy. Nothing can be more ex.
plicit than the Presidents language
The London Standard gives this
opinion :
Party names and party ties are
thrown into hotch-potch. The gov
erning issue at the contest will lie
between protection and free trade.
The London Globe puts it thus:
The central issue OF the contest
lies between the maintenance of the
present fiscal system intact and its
modification in the direction of free
trade. And on that broad question
Mr.. Cleveland's candidature natnr-
ally and necessarily carries Eng
lish sympathy.
The Haddingtonshire courier de-
vlares that Q Democratic victory
means that
We of England may look to an
impetus being given our home trade
that will go far to make up for the
depression of late years.
The London Daily Ncics de-
clares:
The electoral conflict now in pro-
gress is a conflict now between free
trade and protection, and nothing
less.
The London Times remarks
It is certain that the arguments
which President Cleveland urges
are those which Golden used to
employ 45 years ago, and which
any free trader would employ now.
This is from the London Times of
July 10;
"The electiOncerlng campaign In
America ought 10 be most interest
ing to the English people for his
torical, political, philosophical and
economic reasons. The
main question at Issue is English
free trade against the Continental
system of protection. The republic
is on trial. GOOD, conservative
government, under Cleveland, is
opposed by the ruleand-rnin party
of Blaine, whose friends nominated
Harrison, and who would certainly
DO Secretary of State under a Har-
rlsOn administration. Thus the
American people are directly in
volVed in the contest through their
pockets, which will be affected by
the tariff, and their future, which
would he seriously influenced by
the restoration to power OF such a
(ire-brand as Blaine, with his home
rule sympatbies and anti.Canadian
policy. The American election is
infinitely more important to Eng
lishmen than their own internal
politics just at this juncture, and
they should observe every phase OF
the campaign closely aud under
standingly. 1t is from this point OF
view that the copious dispatches
to the Sunday Times are cabled.
The result of the American election
will help to decide many imp ortant
issues in Great Britain.

Mr.. Mills made a characteristic
free trade speech before the Harlem
democratic club Saturday night, in
which he took pains, in terms, to
deny that his bill was free trade
measure, and to insist that the OBJ
iect was reduction Of the surplus in
the treasury. 1t may not be a free
trade measure ia the absolute sense
of the term, bat Mr.. Mills exposes
the sincerity of his claim to grave
suspicion when, in the same speech,
he speaks Of the free list as the best
part of the bill, and stabs with a
Jest the proposition to repeal the
internal revenue system. Logically,
the bill can be no better than the
beat part of it, and Roger Quarles
Mills loves it for the part which be
estesms as best. Roger Q. knows
what hes talking about, but the
mistake he makes is In supposing
that other people do not know also.

Shuttinq up the Factories.

NEW YORK, July 30.-The Nor,
folk and New Brunswick Hosiery
company, of New Brunswick, N. Y,
shut down Saturday for an indehn'
ite period. and 800 men, women
and children are out Of employ
ment. The mills are OF the largest
and oldest in the country, and have
been among the most profitable OF
American manufacturing tie r
prises. Mr.. j. d. Carpenter, the
president of the company, says the
passage of the Mills bill by the
House has so affected trade that
they cannot find market for their
goods. and further declared that II
the Mills bill became law the
hosiery mills would be compelled
to close up entirely.

ORIGINAL AND BORROWED.

III the MillS Dill Is not lIeo lIduO
measure, why are all the avowed
free traders IN favor of it?
Representative Foran (DemOcrat)
says that he calculates the next
House will be Republican by about
ten to fifteen majority.
The Democrats assert that the
Republican party is the friend OF
monopolists, and yet, Calvan Brice,
Chairman of the National Demo-
cratic Campaign Committee, is
said to control ONE HUNDRED cor
porations. What do you think of
him as a monopohsts
The chances are that the next
House of Representatives will have
Republican majority. The Demo
cratic plurality in the present
House is only fifteen, and their ma
jority in a number OF districts was
a very narrow one. a strong effort
should he made by the Republicans
to elect a proteetiOnist member
from every close district.
The Democratic st. Louis Post
Dispatch remarks: "Perhaps it
was mistake to put Brice at the
Democratic campaign committee"
Yes, undoubtedly. The people are
not enamored of plutOerats and
monopolists, and won't vote with a
party which is led by them.
Gen. G. b. Fisk, the third-party
candidate for President, is an ap'
polntee of the present administra'
ton, he being chairman ofthe board
ofIndian Commissioners. This may
seem little odd, but Mr.. Cleve-
land oyerlooks this defect in an
o1ice-holder because he knows that
every vote cast for Fisk is a half
vote for himself.
Commenting on Senator Cor
mans speech, the New York Sun
calls on Messrs. Morton, Scott and
Brce to resign from the board of
directors of the Canadian Pacific
Road. 1t turns out, however, that
Mr.. Morton did so resign some time
since. Thus do the structures of
Mr.. German and the advice Of the
Sun bear doubly hard on Messrs.
Brice and Sc. It. Had Mr.. German
and the San been aware OF the facts,
we should probably had neither the
speech Ror the editorial. AS it is,
both are doing good work for the
Republican party.
