Murphy's Canal Ensrt..


Hon. ]. H. Murphy. of Davenport. has
written second letter on the canal SUBJ
ject. in which he says:
We all know that the arbitrary rule
that fixes prices is demand and supply.
and remember there is no protection, high
or low tariff, that aids or assists the hons
est farmer in finding market or fixing
the prices for his surplus products.
Hence the question is, il your national
legislators are so anxious and willing to
protect the manufacturers, why are you
not equally willing to aid and guard with
jealous care the agricultural interests OF
this country2 For you all know the
farmer has been the greatest factor in the
commercial success and prosperity of
this nation, and will continue to be il
right and justice is done him. Yes! the
greatest factor because they have
Produced eighty per cent OF all our ex-
ports during the last sixty years. while
all other interests combined exported
barely one-fifth as much as the farmers,
they each and all of them have received
i've times as much care. aid and protec-
ton from the law and the law makers.
And now l wish to call your attention
to fact that no true American can be
proud of, and in the light of our boast
that we are nation of progress, 1t is
humiliating If not painful. to know that
the United States of America has done
less to improve her waterways in the in
terests of commerce than England. France,
Russia, Germany, Holland, Sweden and
Austria.
Mr.. Murphy then presented list Of
the more important canals of the world
and shows their advantage to the coun-
try in which they are situated.

said to be the latest aspirants for the re-

them as cheap here as at home"
"What Is there then that costs you
more than IL would home for yourself
or the support of your family?" Moth
ing but house rent and Goals. Every
thing else is as cheap and in many cases
cheaper. On the whole l can take bet
ter care OF my family here, feed and
clothe them better, and live more COM
Portable at the same cost than l can at
home in England"
The New York Herald has shown that
clothing of quality such as working peo-
pie wear was fully as cheap i'm this coun-
try as i'm England. Now when men and
women earn from three TO four times as
much as they do In the old country it
needs no explanation to show how much
better off the working classes are in this
country than I'm the old country
The Chicago Herald has shown this
fact very clearly by contrasting the earn
ings OF workingman and his family in
the United States and the earnings OF a
workingman and his family in England.
Whether clothing be cheap or dear, the
money must be earned before IL can be
bought, and SO with food. Mines, mills
and factories must be kept I'm operation
or labor will be idle and the operative
unable to purchase his necessities. A
closed mill means no employment for
mill hands, hence inability to buy, how
ever cheap goods may be. A Pittsburg
paper aptly exposed the truth of this
some time ago by conversation between
the wives of two operatives, thus:
''Oh We, Mrs. Costigan, but it breaks
me poor heart TO see the lovely stool
kan buy at foive cints yard now, and
me paying twelve cints yard for two
dresh patterns OF the self same last year,
before they had the bastely tariff re-
moved. Sure this fray trade is blessin'
to the poor"

less favored. and the less powerful king

The Quarterly RcUiclr remarks: SIN
the sense Adam Smith uses the word
poor, living from hand TO mouth, nine
tenths of the English people are poor. =
And the same publication said: ''ln the
road which the English laborer must
travel the poor house is the last stage on
the way to the grave"
The Westminster RcUielC on the same
subject says: There is a mighty evil
connected with the condition of the
working classes in this country, which
has TO be met, exposed and overcome"
Kay, author of THE Social Condition
and Education of the People of Eng
land" after travelling through western
Europe as a commissioner sent out By
the senate of Cambridge University, re-
ports: 1.-The poor of England are more
depressed, more pauperized, more num-
erous in comparison to the other classes,
more irreligious, and very much worse
educated than the poor Of any other Eu-
ropean nation, solely excepting Russia,
Turkey, south Italy, Portugal and
Spain"
Such is British testimony to the re-
suits of free trade in England.

Protection on Cotton.
"Cotton Spinner" Beaver Dam. Wis,
asks WAS there ever time i'm this
country when there was protective
tariff on raw cotton? If there ever was,
will the Inter ocean print in its columns
how much the duty was and when it was
put on?"
Reply-There was protective tariff
put on raw cotton in 1885, the amount
was three cents pound Cotton spin
ner" will probably remember that the
preamble OF the first act of congress,
July 4, 1889, read "for the encourage
ment and protection Of American manu-
facturers." The democrats-SOuthcrn
ones-wanted and obtained protection on
what they foresaw would become very
important ''raw MATERIAL" also that the
Southern states were adapted 10 its
growth; hence the protection given TO
raw cotton, i'm harmony with the princi
pie of encouraging American manufact-
urers. In those days democrats were in
favor OF protecting raw materials" If
they were American raw materials. 1t

fore stated in these columns, notwith-
standing we have i'm Southern states the
raw cotton at our doors, yet the differ
ence in the wages paid to the ''cotton
spinners' in England enables the En-
glsh to distance us. in connection with
their subsidized lines of steamers, to
beat us i'm some Of the foreign markets.
~ avwer" Dps MOiuos Ia asks:
''Havc the English free traders ever
claimed, or said, that free trade, II
adopted I'm the United States of America,
would remove all OF the causes, and do
away with anarchism, socialism, and
strikes?
''If the Inter Ocean will give us some
information on this subject it will be APP
preciated, and let us know when and
where il was said. Tariff for protection
is being talked up here nearly every
where, and many claim that IL we had
free trade labor would be more con-
tented, be as well off, and that there
would be no more strikes. We would
like TO get some information on this SUBJ
jet soon"
Reply: The only distinct averment OF
the kind inquired about. that / am able
TO find, was that made by Sir Charles
Dixie, NJ. p, at the Golden club anni.,
versary held In London, England, July
z, 1859. He said:

1t should be remembered that IL is the
boast OF the Golden club that ''they will
never rest while the United States are
unsubdued," and that having "failed on
ghe continent our eyes are now turned to
the west, where we are To meet foeman
worthy of our steel, the fight will be with
the gloves Off" and again the Golden
club says, 1--WE send money wherever il
will do good
No country has had more strikes, riots,
etc, than free-trade England. No
country is in n worse condition SO far as
It's working classes are concerned, and to
this fact English authority bears ample
evidence. Nor is 10 matter of recent
date. Misery, suffering, want and pau
perism has been the portion OF English
labor for years. On this question a few
authorities are given, not alone from
politicians, but from leading journalists
and those who were employed specifically
for the purpose of ascertaining the truth.
The London sun bears its testimony
on the subject thus: The bulk OF the
working classes, both I'm the agricultural
and manufacturing districts. are reduced
on ordinary occasions 10 the lowest stage
of existence, and bad season is a SEN
tence of death TO many Of the suffering
poor"
What did Richard Golden say OF his
poorer cOuntrymen: 1.-The men OF En-
gland are treated by the landed interest
worse than their dogs or horses, which
are fed in proportion to their toll"
Sydney Smith says: ''There is no
doubt more misery and acute suffering
among the mass Of the people OF En-
gland than there is i'm any kingdom in
the world; but then they are the great
unwashed, dirty, disagreeable, Emporium
ate persons. There are thousands
houseless, breadless, friendless, without
shelter raiment, or hope in the world;
millions uneducated, only half fed, driven
to crime and every species of vice which
ignorance and restitution bring in their
train, to an extent utterly unknown ia

MCKINLEY'S PROSPECTS.

The MassilDn Independent whose editor
has been with Maj Mckinley at every
meeting i'm the district thus far, gives
the following as his judgment of the
present outlook: after having heard
Congre isman Mckinley deliver fourteen
speeches within five consecutive days,
having travelled with him several hum
dred miles by rail and fifty-four miles by
wagon road, and being witness to the
wonderful enthusiasm that his canvass is
creating. the writer hereof bids the re-
publicans of this district TO be OF good
cheer and urges them To renewed effort,
for through the smoke Of the battle vic
tory may be seen within reach, and GER
tain to be secured IL the movement con-
tinues as IL has begun"
One thing Is evident to the most casual
observer i'm the Sixteenth district, and
that is that every republican is warm
and enthusiastic admirer OF the gallant
major, and Is at work with might and
main trying 10 compass his election.
There is no need of urging and no lack
Of volunteers. Every one Is anxious TO
spare no effort TO help rc-elect the man
of national fame OF whom they are so
Justly proud. This fact speaks volumes,
and is the best possible indication OF the
ultimate triumph OF Mai. Mckinley.
When the rank aud file Of the party are
thoroughly cnthused ana every man at
work, opposition majOriiies speedily
melt away.-CleUeidnd Leader.

Mr.. Schoenhof says that he found a
man who was hand-loom weaver and
the weaver said that lin his younger
years he was n hriclllayer in England;
now he has returned TO Ireland, and is
well satisfied if he can ply his old trade
and earn enough to keep him i'm bodily
repair. Work, however, only lasts for
him from summer until after Christmas,
and very little work can be found for
the first six months of the year, which
is the case with hand-loom weavers.

all the poor people and small farmers

The old hand-loom weaver said; 'As

nothing at all of that. Cold water is
what we drink and yellow meal we eat.
