A MOTHERS APPEAL

Ort from his home to the arrogant world
Its dazzling allurements, vice banners unfuried,
To wreck. or exalt, his own life and mine,
To level with brutes. or to manfully shine,
My boy has gone.
Closer our hearts have been knitting for We ars,
MY boy, my boy, now my man. o ye tears!
No wonder ye fall, for in the wide earth
So cruel and cold, where all evil hath birth,
Ny boy is alone.
My laddie, SO helpful, arm-hearted and true;
o men Of the world, am pleading with you;
My sapling will readily mold to your will,
Remember your own sons, and treat him not III,
My innocent boy.
o, help him to shun the base and impure,
Lead him away when temptations allure,
o, teach him this truth, who will and who can,
That justice and purity make the true man.
Be friend to my bop.
Some day fair maiden, with heart pure and
free,
VIII wait for the coming Of him who shall be
Friend, lover and husband. May she yield her
name
To him vino has lived life without stain
Ny unsullied boy.
Ny councils, my prayers, o, will they avail!
VIII he learn to say no, and finch not nor quail
Will he remember my love and my care:
Oh, Father in Heaven, give ear TO NY PRAYER,
Spare me my boy.

Robbed by the rar;ff. the FIRE. Traders
Assert. They Nave iseen Saved Millions of
DOil&rA
Much has been written of late about
wire nai!s-the duty. price. increased
production, etc. A free trade paper saws
truthfully that prior to 1888 wire nails
were not on the dutiable list: that dur
ing that year Congress put on a duty of
four cents per pound and then their
manufacture in the United States began.
The article further truthfully admits
that while the price was So per key in
1885 it had fallen in 1889 to about 81 per
key, and, while We manufactured ONLY
50, O0O kegs in 1888. our production had
increased to $500. 900 kegs in 1882 So
far our free trade contemporary is cor
rect but he makes an absurd statement
which needs refutation. The writer as
sumes that because the nails now sell
for 81 per key they should have done so
in 1888 and every year since. With this
assumption he produces the following
table. asserting that the difference be-
tween the present price and the average
prices each year has been bonus taken
from the consumer. His table is as fol-
lows:

her bending over me, a candle in her
hand. There was a curious kind of pole
projecting from the wall over my bed.

cause my eldest brother made me hang

Der about our old home. 1t has been

A little further down the road was a

on the top of the gate pillars set two

1 was afraid of them. One could see the
house by peeping through the bars of
the gates. 1t was . gloomy-looking

ference; he knew them all BY heart.
When he had finished he would look ont
across the cultivated lands where the
mission kaf!irs had their Luts.
But knew it was not these he saw,
but rather the gray English church, and
the graves ranged side by side before the
yew near the wicket gate.
1t was there on the stoopthat he died.
He had not been we'll, and one evening
l was talking to him and his mind went
back to Oxfordshire and my mother.
He spoke of her good deal, saying that
she had never been out of his mind for
single day during all these years. and
that he reioiced to think he was draw
ing near that land whittier she had
gone. Then he asked me ii l remem-
bered that night when Squire Carson
came into the study at the vicarage, and
told him that his wife had run away,
and that he was going to change his
name and bury himself in some remote

Stella are still alive. Well, we'll! 1
shall never meet them again. But life

After that left him. We had been
suffering more than usual from the
depredations of the Kaffir thieves, who
stole our sheep at night, and, as had
done before, and not without success,
had determined to watch the kraal and
see if could catch them. Indeed, it was
from this habit of mine Of watching at
night that first got my native name Of
Macumazahn, which may be roughly
translated as ''he who sleeps with one
eye OPEN So took my rife and rose to
60. But he called me to him and kissed
me on the forehead. saying: God
bless you, Allan. l hope that you will
think of your old father sometimes, and
that you will lead a good and happy
life"
remember that did not much like
his tone at the time, but set il down to
an attack of low spirits, to which he
grew very subject as the years went on.
1 went down to the kraal and watched
till within an hour of sunrise: then. as
no thieves appeared, returned to the
station. As came near l was aston
ished to see a figure sitting in my
fathers chair. At first l thought it
father had fallen asleep there. And so
he had, indeed. for he was dead.

lover than IL was fifty years ago: and in
reference 10 population 80 per cent lower.
And again, speaking Of agriculture
ne says:
This iD.uS,rv b, sdeclined 50 cons derably
during the presen reign, Notwithstanding
the reclamation Of 100000 acres of waste
land, hat the prodn ction Of grain is now
only eight bushels Pc innaoitant, against
thirteen in the year fol- owing the Queens
accession.
Further on he saws:
Capital having an irresis BILE tendency TO
run out OF losing trades n seek those
which are profitable. IL is not surprising to
see that grain growing Is rapid diminish
ing in the United Kingdom
And then he gives a table Of the pro-
duction of grain in the Kingdom. which
shows that during the period from 1S4l
to 1850 the annual yield of wheat aver
aged $4,000, 900 bushels, while for the
period from 1881 to 1885 the annual
yield only averaged $4,000. 900 bushels
The annual value Of the grain crops for
the first period was ss4, SOC. 900, while
for the last period the annual value had
fallen to e5l, 200, 600, decline of SIS per
cent
Although he finds that the supply of
horned cattle has increased Ia natural
result OF land going out Of tillage into
grass. yet even this does not bring up
the deficiency, and he says:
The combined value of grain and meat
produced yearly is less now than IL was
forty years ago, but rent and taxes have in
creased SO per cent, thus causing the margin
in favor of the farmers to diminish In an
alarm nx degree
nd off p,x
this statement
Thus the farmers margin Is nov only half
what it was in tho earlier years Of the pres
ent reign. being reduced to II shliings An
acre. against Is shillings in 1887 10
In the face of this concurrent testi-
mony. coming from two widely diver
gent points Of view. can we doubt that
Great Britian's attempt to secure cheap
ly-fed labor that she might make cheap
goods has resulted in disaster to her
agricultural interests?
And may we not be justified when the
American free trader points to a de-
pressed agriculture here as q result Of
the tariff in pointing him to this state
of depression in British agriculture.
and asking him if he finds it any better
in free trade country?
With her limited area for crops and
her dence population, her manufactures
and commerce have now become of more
Importance to her than is her agricult-
ure
We are situated differently. We fall
about $50, COO. 900 short of producin
each year the goods we consume WI
send thousands of miles for these goods,
and then send our breadstuffs thousanda
of miles away in search of a market.
The true National policy would seem to
be. in our case. TO make these goods in
our own midst. and to sell the bread,
stufs here to the men engaged in pro,
ducing the goods.

Spread of Protection.

Protective tariff sentiments are ex-
tending and chrystalizing by leaps and
bounds in many parts of the world. The
French people are felicitating them
selves that in couple of years more all
their outstanding and Objectionable
trade treaties will expire by limitation.
when they will make only such arrange
ments with other nations as will leave
themselves free to enforce their ideas Of
protection to their own industries to
suit themselves China is doing SINH
larly by increasing her import duty up
on cotton goods, opium, etc;
Spain is moving in the same
direction; Germany imposes high
protective duties; Servia is heading off
the dishonesty Of importers by declining
to accept their valuations of imports ex-
cept under the inspection of her own
customs appraisers, and, as we have
heretofore shown, even in England a
strong party is being formed looking to
a protective financial system We all
know how it is in Canada and the United
States 1t is to be observed that whom
ever allusion is made to this fast and
wide-spreading sentiment in favor of
tariff protection, the information is pro-
mulgated that British traders aud
manufacturers protest" against proposed
changes These protests do not retArd
the movement and Britain will soon
have to join the procession.
The Globe-republican., 1890-08-27

He adds:
Total Of the en- ormous swindie perpetrated
on the people. the direct result OF the in :
iqui;Ous tariff tax of 81 per keg which is
prohibitory, $500
All this would have been true if the
nails could have been made and sold for
81 during each and all of these years
But this IS not true, and so our contem-
porary's ubiquitous swindle" melts
away.
Now let US go back 10 1883. when the
price of wire nails was ST. per keg, ad-
mitted duty free. This was the price
without duty, and for the first few
months after the duty was added. Sup
pose no duty had been levied, and they
had remained on the free list till now.
would the price have gone down: Pos
slbly, but at no such rate as it has under
protection, and it is questionable if it
would have gone down az all But sup
pose it had remained at So, let US see
what protection would have saved the
people. The follow rg table will show:

WORK, NOT CHEAPNESS.

How Free Trade and Cheapness Work in
Observation-Disclosures at Good Wages
Better Than IdIeness and Low Prices.
! One of the ablest and most eminent
of the British fair traders is Sir Ed
ward Sullivan. His trenchant words
pierce the sOphistries of free trade
like an Ithuriers spear. Here is an ex-
tract from one of S latest publications:
| After forty years experience Of one sided
| free trade, the condition OF labor in the
! United Kingdom is very alarming: many in
dustries have died out or removed tn other
| countries; in nearly every industry English
labor is under Did by foreign labor; In most
| industries four days IS now considered q
weeks work.
Employment not chcapneSs, is the main
spring OF Nationa prosperity and content
ment. The way to make a nation happy and
prosperous is to give everybody an
opportunity of being employed. The
idea OF supplying a population Of
over 100000 with every thing n.
lower price than they can produce it, is
probably the most preposterouS nonsense
that ever entered the human mind. This is
actually what free trade pre:ends to do; we
are attempting to supply ourselves with
every thing cheaper than we can produce
it. In other words, we place before our
workers cheap food. but pat /, out of their
power to earn the money to buy Ii.
Free trade means untaNed foreign compe-
tition. Foreign competition means compe-
tition in cheapness; competition In cheap
ness means competition in cheap labor;
competition in cheap labor means competi-
ton in flesh and blood and competition in
flesh and blood Is slavery. Excessive COM
petition is the greatest curse that can be
imposed on a working community. The
unrestricted competition of the whole world
is rapidly making the conditions of En-
glish labor Impossible. Cheap clothing and
cheap food are of no value if human labor
is cheaper still. Excessive cheapness is Of
no value to the community without employ
ment. Employment means cheapDe,s.
These who have employment can buy.
Those who have not employment can not
buy. Free trade means cheapness to
the rich, the idlers, those with fixed incomes;
but longer hours, lower wages, harder work
to the workers. The workers are twenty to
one TO the idlers and therefore free trade
sacrifices the interests of the nineteen to the
interests of the one.
Five shillin spent on the produce Of En-
g!ish labor benefits the working class more
than fifty shillings spent on the produce Of
foreign labor. Interna product ion and in
ternal consumption the only proofs Of
National prosperity. The first and para
mount duty of every Government is to en-
courage conditions under which every one
can find employment
