Am Englishman's Views on the
Tariff.


"Look at that banner" said a gentle
man on Monday evening, pointing to a
transparency on which was inscribed
Democratic Ticket Popular in Eng
land The American people have
queer notions, and the queerest of all Of
them is the one that English manufac-
turers want the American people to
establish free trade. l am an English
man and left Great Britain but a few
months ago."
Isn't it true that the English manufac-
turers most certainly desire the adoption
of the free trade principle by the Amer
ican?" asked the reporter.
''No, indeed-most emphatically nov'
was the response. "Why, English manu-
facturers look upon the United States
with great deal of alarm. The Ameri-
cans are the most inventive people in the
world, as witness the great labor-saving
machines on all sides. 1t tt kes genius to in.
vent these machines and it takes genius to
run them. The Americans are SO pecu-
liarly adapted to the operation OF
machinery that an operative in cotton
and woolen fabrics can turn out from
one-third to one-half more goods than
the English operative. The wages in
England and your New England are
about the same per day, and the Ameri-
can makes from one-third to one-half
more goods per day and gets no better
pay than the Englishman. The fact
is, and the English manufacturers
know it, labor is cheaper here than in
England. Say the operatives on both
sides of the water get 1.50 per day. The
Englishman makes 100 pieces and the
American makes 150 pieces. If wages
were equal, the American should re-.
celve 1925 where he nov receives but
$l.50. Now the British manufacturers
look upon the American protective
tariff as great blessing to them, While
it prevents them from sending goods
here, it more than makes up the loss bv
preventing Americans from sending
goods elsewhere-to England, Europe,
Asia, Africa, South America, Australia.
to all the world. Your protective tariff
protects us against American COM
petition and cripples your COM
merce. If the United States should
repeal the tariff law, it would be the
worst blow at English commercial su-
premacy that can be imagined. Ameri-
cans can make goods cheaper than any
nation on the globe and in Jew years
English goods would be driven out of the
market. 1t makes me laugh to hear
Americans say England wants free trade
in America-it is just what she doesn't
want and it is just what she fears most
of ofeverything."
"How about wages?"
wages are about the same in England
as in New England, as I said before but
the Britain has cheap market in which
to buy his goods and the American a
dear market. The Englishman who
comes to America for better wages is ter
ribly taken in; but land is cheap, and
that keeps me here.-[Pike County Dem

ARE AMERICANS DYSPEPTlci
What II Prominent English Physician
Says of Our Dwellers in Cities.


A prominent English physician has re-
Gently proved, TO his own satisfaction at
least, that the dwellers in American cities
are generally neuroties and Gyspeptics.
First of all, he says, the Puritans who
eniigrated to New England were charac-
terized by a neurotic temperament, for
Puritanism was largely disease of the
hillary duct. And so ever since it has
been the ueurotic member of the English
family who has grown dissatisfied with
the conditions of life in the old country,
and has emiGrated either to Australia or
America. On the ether hand, the beef
eating squire type Of Englishman, being
content with things they are, has
stayed at home.
But this is not all The climate and the
peculiar conditions of life that exist in
this country have developed and intensi-
fed this original neurotic type, until it
may now be fairly called the American
type, and is indeed so recognized through
out Europe. This type exists in its most
perfect form in the larger American cities.
For it is the neurotic member of the
family who is most inclined to ''kick"
against the monotonous life of the coun-
try. All such men drift into cities, where
they can find an outlet for their energetic
and often splenetic unrest. In their case
also the neurotic tendency is increased by
their environment. They become small in
physique, and, as a rule, are chronic dys-
pepticS. Their children are apt 10 sue
cumb to the maladies Of childhood. The
men are kind and indulgent to their fami-
lies, but irritable. The women are bright,
quick witted, spirituelle, but restless.
They are fond of living gregarious lives,
and spend large portion of their time in
relating TO each other the evidences Of
their physical weakness. And so in three
generations at most these highly devel-
oped but diseased men and women die
out, literally consumed by the fire Of their
own abnormal vitality.
Doubtless the generaliZations Of this
English physician are too sweeping. tits
not true that only the men Of a neurotic
or nervous temperament come from the
country into American cities. Indeed, 10
is quite the other way. The vitality Of
our cities is steadily replenished by the
thousands Of strong Imbed and clear
headed country boys, who are constantly
pouring into them, and whose nerves Of
steel enable them 20 withstand the terrible
strain Of city Life for years. But IL is
undoubtedly true that cur cities do tend
to produce highly nervous type Of man
and woman, with no stomach TO speak Of
and much impaired liver. But with the
increase Of wealth and luxury this typo
will doubtless disappear, Even now the
lean, dyspeptsc American, with hungry
look Of conquest ia his eyes, IS rapidly Civ
ing place to the jolly, well fed, easy going
American, who, having conquered fate
and destiny, can afford TO take lie "a it

NEW YORK, June 27.-The Times says:
It was learned yesterday that still further
and very sweeping reduction had been
openly made by the $500" line, which re-
duces the rates on first class freight TO St.
Paul and Minneapolis 80 60 cents per hun
dred pounds, 80 cents on second class, 43
cents on third, 81 cents on fourth, 25 cents
on fifth and 20 cents on sixth class. This
being strictly all rail route, the rates are
lar lower than the bottom rates yet given
by any line, and as low as the rail and lake
rate to those points. The route is over
four different roads, the New York, Onta-
rio & Western, Rome, WatertoWn q Og-
densburg, Canadian Pacific and Saulte St.
Marie q Atlantic. This makes not only
the lowest possible rates to these points,
but also reduces the rates to Pacific points
via St. Paul, the local rate from there to
Portland or San Francisco being only s.. so,
thus making first class rate OF $40, or
via the Canadian Pacific $.25 as against
the regular transcontinental association
rate OF $400 When the news of this
sweeping reduction was made known to
the various freight agents on Broadway
yesterday many refused to believe ii, and
held that the route must be via lake and
raii Information on the subject was very
positive, however, and the agents of other
lines will, no doubt, shortly be compelled
to believe it.

THE MARKET VALUE SUGAR.

NEW YORK, June 27.-When the session
of the convention of wholesale groceIs was
opened this afternoon, Maj. W. j. john
son, of Richmond, made the report of the
result of the conference with the sugar
refners.
He said that the refiners Of the sugar
trust were disposed to aid the grocers in
the effort to fix the market value of sugar
so that Il margin could be obtained.
All they asked was to obtain the agree
ment OF all the sugar refiners. The
speaker thought there would be no
trouble except possibly with Harrison,
Frazier 81 Co, of the Franklin re-
finery Delegate Samuel Stevenson, of
Columbus, O., declared there was no fear
of that refinery. Nothing definite was ac-
complished, and the matter was retained
in the hands of committee of eight
Delegate VIM. Edwards, of Cleveland, re
signed from the general committee, and K.
DymOnd, of Cincinnati, succeeded him.
Delegate Walheimer of Syracuse, says he
would like to hear what was considered a
fair profit in sugar. he thought abaut >
per cent. Delegate Spur, OF Boston, did
not think it possible TO charge per cent.
The matter of regulating prices and nego-
tiating with refiners was left with the com
mittee of eight.
The convention then adjourned subject
to the call Of the chair.
