The knights OF Labor ia england.

E
New York Sun: Some years ago the
knights of labor were planted in Eng
land, hus they have been small and
feeble body until very recently. Within
the present year they have been growing
and spreading in remarkable way.
Michael DaYitt, who has both ability
and experience as an organizer, ia assist.
ing the growth. We find some news on
the subject in Reynolds newspaper
(London). 1t alleges that the orgsni-
zation is spreading, especially in the
northern mining and manufacturing re-.
gions, known ss the Black country. that
Its SUCCESS surpaases the most sanguine
expectations of the promoters, and that
1t is attracting all grades OF labor, from
the scayenger to the writer. The antae.
onism of the trades unions TO the knights
OF labor that has been seen in the United
States is unknown in England, and many
OF the strong trades unions In the c,ty
are in favor of the object OF the new or
ganization. We learn from Reynolds
newspaper that the methods of the K.
of l. in England differ from those OF
their brethren in the United States, AS
EnRlIshmen do not favor secret, myste-
rious and dictatorial procedure, several
changes in the methods OF the order
have been made in accordance with that
fact, and there is but little secrecy about
the English assemblies.

Marietta, D., July 2l-Since the Cieye.
land message of last winter, the intro
daction of the MllIs bill and the demo-

WOOL growing country, and the sheep
ralsers are numerous. Nearly every wool
grower who is democrat has Topped TO
Harrison and Morton and the strong
protection platform, and openly declare
that they cannot and will not support
Cleveland and free trade.
Among the politicians of the state no
man has been held in higher esteem than
ex"Onngressman Warner OF this district.
he has, however. always declared for
protection and it has long been known
that he was Cleveland man. The morn.
ing OF the day Harrison was nominated.
and even before it seemed here that he
would be nominated, Gen. Warner said
ln the presence OF o number:

Will be elected in spite of fate. The re-
publican platform is the strongest ever
knew of, and it meets the wants of the
country. No man who has the interest
OF the country at heart can vote for free
traue.
he has condemned Cleveland on many
occasions. Gen. Warner has many DEM
ocratic followers who will probably flop
ere November comes again.

labor of the north for the advancement
and enjoyment OF the south.

labor OF the north for the advancement
and enjoyment OF the south.
Evidence in support of this ten
deney stands in the action OF
the democratic majority upon the two
items of wool and sugar. Wool, o
northern product, was placed upon the
free list in the Mills bill and the tariff
on sugar, southern product, was re-.
tanned. Making wool duty free would
recuce the revenue six million dollars
per snnum. Making sugar duty free
would reduce the revenue fifsy.seven
million dollars. 1t does not appear that
the democratio majority possesses a
patriotic, non-eectional desire to wine out
the surplus. The wool industry is q
large one in the United States and the
sugar industry is small one. We
raIse one.half the wool needed for
domestic consumption and only one
tenth the sugar needed for domestic
consumption. The growth of wool and
the manufacture OF wooden goods ere
weii paid industries existing in every
portion OF the northern states. The
growth OF sugar cane and the manufac-
ture OF sugar occupies the miserahly
paid labor of the people OF small part
of single southern state.
80 the scheme of the Mills bill appears
to be protection for the industries of
the solid south and foreign competition
for the industries of the north. This is
attempted in the name and under the
banner of free trade. The proposition
ls sectional and selfish and the way the
Mills bill has been shaped under demo-
cratic manipulation shows that the
democratic intention to reduce the
revenue has application largely to the
industries of republican states. For.
tunstely there is republican senate
ahead of the Mills bill and its pernioions
intentions will there be buried ia defeat.

In reality. Yet the statistics show that
California has early doubled its popu-

half OF people. This appears like q
substantial boom and fully answers the
objections of the conservative class who

BY vote of 1852 to 149 the Mills tariff

the affirmative votes but two were DEM

Nelson, of Minnesota, republicans. voted

to the bill through letter. The divi.
sion on the measure was party division
and through the vote the democracy of

While the bill itself would not If enacted

it would go as far in that direction as
any single measure could proceed. In
its terms it ls an attempted abandon.

this goes by the name OF free trade.
