where the necessaries of life are
very much higher in price. And
why are they going' Simply be-
cause low prices have brought their
wages down TO twenty five cents n
day, or in some cases even less, and
no employment to be got even at
that rate.
The population Of Ireland land

its native country like Lot hed from
the cities of the plain, leaving free
trade, where everything is cheap and

want better proof Of this than the
fact that during the late Franco. Ger
man war, and tor about three wears
after, we had in this country what
amounted TO protection. England
was relieved for the time from the
Hood of cheap manufactured arti-
cles and other surplus productions
of the continent, the effect of this
being to send wages up at least 90
per cent, IN some trades far higher;
not only so, but every one had con-
slant employment, that being the
time of our great prosperity. Blu,
just IS the French and Germans
settled down to work and sent their
goods over to England, so our trade
has gone steadily down, and, of
course, our wages have gone down
with it, The home trade of Great
Britain and Ireland is in good times
about six times rs great and worth
SIX times as much as our export
trade, and yet our so called politi.

the free trade party want to do in
America, that is, let the home trade

eighteen or twenty months. He
was in Clusters division in the Ar

next was elected Mayor twice, serv-
ing as such IN 1873 and 1880. He
was elected sheriff of Wood county

he did not know that he bad any
