Give us free raw material, says some of the
enthusiastic Democratic tariff reformers,
and we will supply with our manufactures
the markets of the world; or as ex-senator
Macdonald put It in his speech at Indianapo-
lis, on Saturday night 1--WE will manufacture
for 6OO,0O0,oOo people instead of 6O,00OOO0."
This is pleasant picture, ard is very in
spring to American ambition. But how are
we going TO compete on equal terms with
England for the markets Of the world even
if our raw materials are free, unless we Gu.
down the price of our labor? The English
manufacturer has the advantage of free raw
materials so If the American manufacturer
gets that advantage the difference between
the pay of the English operative and the
American operative will still remain to
trouble him. Manifestly if the American
manufacturer has to pay quarter or even a
sixteenth more for his labor than the English
manufacturer does he cannot success
fully compete with the former for the mar
kets of the world. Not only must he get his
raw materials cheaper than he does now,
but his labor also. If therefore the people of
the United States are going in to contest
with England with any hope of success for
the markets of the world they might as well
make up their minds that the pay of labor
must be cut down as an absolutely essential
condition precedent. With free raw mate
rails and cheaper labor we might no doubt
get foothold in markets where England is
now supreme. We might perhaps drive her
out of some of Them but would the adyan-
tage thus gained be worth the price we paid
for it? American workingmen are not likely
to think so. We have now the best mar
ket in the world. Our true policy is to hold
itself for ourselves. A contest for the mar

The result Of the duel between Gen. Bou-
LANCER and M. Floquet seems likely to be an
end of the formers political power and in
fuence. Already most of tho Paris news
papers which nave been supporting him
have deserted him, and the rabble to whom
he chiefly appealed and who admired him
because Of his apparent audacity and dash,
are likely to look upon him with feelings ap-
preaching pretty near to contempt now that
he has been whipped in duel by civilian
sixty years Of age. 1t is well for France
that his downfall has come, for his ascen-
dency in political affairs BODIED no good to
the Republic.

Yesterday the directors of the Portland g.
Ogdensburg accepted the lease of that road
to the Maine Central in the form in which II
was published a few days ago. The CITY
Council and the citizens are yet to act. 1t is
undoubtedly for the interest of the city of
Portland to dispose of this road as soon as it
can on reasonably advantageous conditions.
The city cannot develop the property as
strong corporation like the Maine Central
will be able to do; and besides by holding
on to 1t 1t constantly runs the risk of having
to pay heavily for disasters, which come to
the best managed ana most careful of roads.
The interests of the Maine Central and the
interests of Portland so far as the prosperity
of the 0gdensburg are concerned are identi-
cal. IL the Ogdensburg passes into
the hands of the Maine Central the latter
of course is bound by self interest to
develop its possibilities to the fullest

Senator Allison says the Senate will not
adjourn until it has acted on the tariff. He
says the Senate bill will be based upon the
principle Of protection to our industries, and
will not resemble the Mills bill in any re-
spect. 1t will be in line with the Chicago
platform as the Republican Senators inter-
pref it. and will reduce the revenue from

extent and this cannot be done by any policy
inimical to the interests of Portland, but
must be done by policy in accordance with

ally the appreciation of our citizens and UNI

1t is practically settled that Gov. Hill of
New York is to be re-nominated. and that
ex-senator Warner Miller is to be the Re-
publican candidate. There is considerable
opposition to Hill among the more decent
Democrats because of his liquor law vetoes,
and his corrupt deals with contractors, but
he is strong with the saloon keepers and the
lower elements, and his party dares not
throw him overheard. His nomination is
supposed to be necessary to keep the slums
in line for Cleveland.

President Barbour of the Barbour Thread
Works of New Jersey, says the reduction of
the duty on thread of % per cent, which the
Mills bill proposes, instead of decreasing
the revenue to the government on this par
ticular article, would increase it three fold.
because his company would make great
deal less thread at their factories in this
country, and great deal more at their fac
tories in Ireland. If the government wants
TO lessen the revenue from thread, let it
increase the tariff; then only the very finest
grades, which we cannot make here with our
well paid labor, would be imported. As far
as his personal interest is concerned Mr..
Barbour would prefer to see the tariff re-
duced, for then he could import the thread
made by cheap labor in Ireland and realize
larger profit than is possible on the thread
made by the higher priced labor of this coun-
try. The disadvantage would be entirely to
the thread worker of this country, who
would md either his opportunity of employ
ment gone or his wages greatly reduced. 1t
is hardly necessary to say that Mr.. Bar
bour's workmen in this country see the
point and are unanimous for protection.
