troll of the home market for q doubtful chance
in foreign markets. Our commercial marine,
or carrying trade, was broken up during the
war, and has not been rebuilt since, because
American capital finds so much more remune-
rative investment in other channels. It can
do better on land. Besides, Americans can
earn much better wages working on land than
they can as sailors. The seafaring business
brings them into direct competition with the
cheap labor of Europe, where sailors can be
hired fcr 3 uese p~ittance. American wage
workers, as we'll as American capitalists, can
do a great deal better than going to sea.
You have probably been hearing the free
trade argument that protection had destroyed
our merchant marine because the duty on
foreign raw materials prevented ~ship-building
in this country. This is free.trade rot. I'm.
der Sections 2513 and 2514, Of the Revised
Statutes of the United States, all imported
materials used in the construction of Ameri-
can vessels for the foreign service are admit
ted free of duty. The fact that wages are
nearly twice as high in this coun try as they
are in Great Britain makes it difficult to COM
pete with her in ~ship-building, but we can
infinitely better afford to let Great Britain do
our fetching and carrying business than to
lower the wages of American workmen 40 or
so per cent.
Free trade would not open foreign markets
to US. That is fallacy, Matched in the col
leges and circulated by free-trade fanatics.
Foreign countries would not buy any more of
US under free trade than they do now. We
have free trade with Brazil in coffee, yet last
year we imported $685. 600. 0O0 worth OF coffee
free Of duty. and Brazil only took about
S $4,000. 00O worth of goods from us. We i'm
ported SIG, 700, 900 worth of tea, free Of duty,
yet China only took about So. 600, 900 worth
of goods from ue. If we had free trade with
Great Britain she would flood this country
with her manufactures and not take a dollars
worth more of our breadstuffs than she does
now. She only takes any of our produce be-
cause she has to and she would not take any
more under free trade than she does under
protection. Great Britain engages in COM
merce to make money for herself, not for
other people. The fo~reign-market rot is one
of the worst ~fallacies in the whole business.
What we want to do is to take care of the
home market and let foreign markets take
care of themselves.

The Wine, Liquor and Beer-dealers' Asso-
citation, of New York, is in session at Buffalo
this week. By those well Informed in State
politics this meeting is understood to have
been called at this time in order to further the
interests of Governor Hill. The Democratic
State convention takes place in Buffalo next
week, and it is thought that the saloon ele-
ment, which he entirely controls, will exert
enough pressure on the coming assembly to
insure his nomination. To put it more
briefly, Hill controls the saloons and the sa-
looms control the Democratic party. His re-
nomination is plainly a foreordained affair,
and the mugwumps may make the best of it.

EDITOR GRADY, of the Atlanta Constitu-
tion, made a speech at the Georgia Chautau-
qua, the other day, and we learn from that ex-
cellent paper that the address was brimful of
the most refined humor, mingled with elo-
quence; that his illustrations were charming,
his word painting exquisite, and that he held
the crowd for some time against a rival dis
play of the most beautiful fireworks ever
seen in the South. We congratulate brother
Grady, both upon the success OF his oratorical
effort and upon his possession of a paper that

NOTHING that requires any artistic taste is
as well made in Great Britain as in the
United States. English manufacturers have
no taste. In carpets, ~calicoes, wall papers,
fancy goods Of all kinds, we beat them out Of
sight. Free trade would substitute the coarse
and crude manufactures Of England for the
nice and tasteful ones of this country, at the
same time killing off our industries and tax
ing bread and butter out of the mouths of
American workmen. That does not seem to
be quite the right thing.
