increased our prosperity. II really seemed
a. if the whole world had conspired to have
every accident and every calamity happen for
our benefit"
Mr.. Blaine concludes his summary of
events occurring during the low tariff period
events by which the natural effects OF the
tariff were neutralized. anil the county made
to appear prosperous, by reference TO the
Crimean war, involving Great Britain, Rus
.ia and France. breaking out in 1894 aud
lasting until 1856. In its progress. says
Mr.. Blaine. the Crimean struggle absorbed
the energies of the nations engaged, removed
to a large extent the mercantile marine of
England and France from peaceful pursuits
and gave still greater expansion to our own
navigation stopped the flow Of grains from
Russia and gave opportunity for trade and
commerce and great profit 10 the citizens OF
the United States" But, adds Air- Blame,
this singular combination Of good fortune to
Us and i'll fortune 10 others, could not con-
time indefinitely. Prosperity built upon the
calamities of other nations, has a most inse-
cure and undesirable foundation. The three
great European powers made peace, the
Baltic and the Black Sea were thrown open
for the expectation of Russian breai-stutfs
English and French ships that hal been en-
where competing at low prices for the freight
of the world. Shipments Of gold from CALI
fornia began to decrease. The wheel of for
ture had turned and the consequence was
that the portentous superstructure of crecit
of speculation. which had been based upon
what the gamblers would have termed our
extraordinary run Of luck, suddenly came to
an end when the luck ceased The panic
Of 1857 was the closing chapter in that extra
ordinary ten years in which the political
economists of the Democratic party were
continuously mistaking effect for cause, were
constantly blinded TO the actual condition of
trade and to the real sources of our DrOsperi-
". were constantly deeei'ing themselves by
fallacies, and were constantly drawing con
illusions from false premises Our Demo
cratic friends stuliously ignore the existing
condition of things, as described by Mr.
Blaine, and claim that the repeal of the high
tariff of 1912 and the adoption Of the low
tariff of 1876. produced unwouted financial
prosperity. Temporary events may hinder
the natural movements and results of econ
omic Laws, but the student of history Is
blind who cannot trace the natural direction
of the laws by eliminating such fOrtutous
circumstances as those referred to by Mr..
Blaine.

The insulting attitude of the London
Times and British politicians of like view
towards the lri-hmen Who became citizens
Of the United States Is exciting earnest
feeling and much comment among native
and Irish Americans. The y. Y. Press
has Il telling article on the subject. from
which We quote the following.
Irish-Americans are not strangers, nor in
truders nor miners, nor imbeciles in this re
public. Three millions Of their race have
found homes in the nited States since 1920.
Those immigrants aud their descen lants
have increased at a conservative estimate to
l5,0ooG0o Their Celtic blood, fresh, warm
and vigorous, courses through the veins of
fully one fourth of the American people
They are part OF this nation. bone of its
bone, flesh of its flesh, bound in their al
legiance to it by every sacred impulse that
animates the human heart. When the mer-
CHESS mi,goyernment of England drove
them out they turned their faces to the distant
West aud America opened wide her arms
and received to heryoung breast the guiltless
exlcs of the British Empire.
Nurturcd on the milk of the American
bosom, they are children Of the Republic,
and in times Of American peril they have
faithfully proven their devotion and graft
tude. \ time of peril is now upon us. The
ancient British enemy is again at our gates
disputing with America possession and en-
joymeut of the American market. To every
citizen of the republic Is presented the plain
alternatiye-for England or America, which?
The lrish-AmeriCan has the most abundant
reasons TO love America and to hate England.
But the doctrine of hate is an accursed doc
trino aud ought not to be appealed to. Much
better TO appeal to the promptings of love,
to duty interest and honor; and by the test
of every one of these the duty of the Irish
American, concurrent with the duty of all
other Americans, is for his own country,
America, against England and the world
Taking this position their fellow citizens of
every race and class would greet them fra
ternally, and they would elevate themselves
incidentally even in the estimation of Eng
land
The thoughtful and patriotic men of the
race are taking this view of the case and are
casting their lot with the Republican party,
Restless and dissatisfied under the claims
made upon them by the Democracy, they are
rising from a condition of dependence and
unreasonable subservieucy; breathing the
pure air of loftier manhood and asserting
the right so freely accorded to every other
race of men-the right to vote as they please.
Aud very many are pleased TO vote the Re
publican ticket. 1t j, a blessed day for them
selves and a hopeful day for their adopted
country. No longer the servitors of an I'M
grateful political party. unconsciously doing
garrison duty for England in America, but a
race of liberty loving men seeking knowl-
men seeking knowledge for the purpose of
being right, faithful alike to the best tradi-
tons of their ancient race and the loftiest
motives of true Americans"

heretofore opposed the Republican party
but who have decided to vote for Ilarri-
son and Morton il increasing every day
These changes of the political course of
manufacturers and Workingmeu are taxi
ing place all over the country. but par
ticularly in the Middle and southern
States. Democratic manufacturers in
New Hampshire, Massachusetts and

are those in New York. New Jersey and
Connecticut, who see that the Cleveland
programme is hostile to TIA cir interests
and to the industrial welfare of the coun-
try. Recently Hon. Archibald Linn of
Hartlapd, this State, has emphaticaly
avowed himself opposed to the Mills bill
and to those who have lust forced it
through the House of Representatives
Mr.. Linn has in past year~ acted with

He is a wooden manufacturer. and is to
vote for Harrison and Morton because he
Is a sincere believer in Protection and
knows well how damaging Free Trade
measures are to the business and labor

MR. BLAINE


Free trade Democrats point with pride
to the fact that the period from lS46 to 1886.
when low tariff. commonly known as the
Walker tariff. prevailed. was a period of
prosperity, and cite this as proof that Free
Trade is the "open sesame" to national pros
perity. In a speech delivered in Farming
ton, Maine, July eth. ls6O, Mr. Blaine showed
that the national prosperity during the low
tariff regime inaugurated by the Walker
tariff bill was due to fortuitous Circumstance
Is, involving good fortune to the United
States, and i'll fortune to other nations :"
First, At the very moment of the enactment
of the tariff of ls46, the war with Mexico
broke out, The withdrawal of more tina
100000 men from the pursuits of industry,
and the employment of other thousands in
the production of war material at an expense
to the nation during two years of one hun
bred and fifty millions of dollars naturally
increased wages by giving employment to
labor in home market. Second. Midway
in the Mexican war lin Is47) a distressing
famine occurred in ireland, which. with
short crops in other parts Of Europe created
an Unprecedented demand for American
bread stufs This, of course raised the
price of grain to high figures, ard carried
large profit and ready money to the door of
every farmer in the land" Third. The
Mexican war had scarcely closed. the Irish
famine had only been partially relieved when
lin lc4S49) tumults and revolutions occurred
in nearly every European kingdom. The
direct result was the DISCRIMINATION of in
dustry and the depression of trade all over
the continent Demand for our bread stuffs
continued, and competition of European
fabrics was so reduced that every form of
industry in the United States was stimulated
TO Ill the demands of the home market"
Fourth, Mr.. Blaine goes on 10 narrate the
discovery of gold in California, and the won
derful development of trade and enterprise
following that event from ls49 onward. for
several years. Fifth. lin 1854. before the
craze of speculation had time to cool. another

FrOm Inc New iOrk independent.
We find it difficult TO see how the Ipdepen-
dents who in 1854 supported Mr. Cleveland
on the theory that he was a Civil Service
reformer. can give him their support in 1855
He certainly has proved false to this theory
and false to the pledges which he made when
he was candidate. The great charac:ers-
tic of his policy has been to tura Republicans
out of office and put Democrats in their
plac's. This is the 'spoils system" pure

says, there will be a change of $50 votes.
