HOW IT WORKS IN ENGLAND,

If any country IN the world,
ought to prosper under a free trade
policy, that country is England
Less than fifty years ago She pos
sesed every advantage
A policy of protection. bad made
her the foremost Nation in the
world in wealth Her mauniac-
turing interests exceeded those of
any other country, and she bad
more and better ships upon the
Ocean than any two Nations cont
bined.
To crown all she possessed, more
capital than any other Nauon-On.
der these circumstances, II was
plain that if any country in the
world could successfully maintain
policy of Free Trade England
was that country.
But II does seem that even in
England that policy has not work
ed satisfactorily. The farmers are
gloomy and disconnected, While
the mechanics are dishearteued,
and more and larger strikes have
recently taken place there than
any where else.
But let us see what Sir Edward
Sullivan, an England subject, and
a political economist of distinction
has to say.
He says:
"Free trade means uutaXed iOr-
eign competition. Foreign cOmpe-
titlon, means cheapnesS means
competition in cheap labor; cOmpe
tition In cheap labor means cOmpe.
ttion IN flesh and blood 4; and compe.
tition in flesh and blood is slavery.
Excessive competition is the g eat
est curse that can be imposed on a
working community. The unre.
stricted competition of the whole
world is rapidly making the condi.
tons of English labor impossible.
Cheap clothing and cheap food are
of no value if human labor is cheap
or still. Excessive cheapuess is of
no value to the community without
employment. Employment means
chespness. Those who have EN-.
pIOymtnt can buy. Fee
Trade means cheapneSs to the itch,
the idlers, those with fixed IN.
comes A.; but longer hours, loser
wages, harder work to the workers.
The workers are twenty TO one TO
the ldlers, aud, therefore, free
trade sacrifices the interests Of
the nineteen to the interest of the
one"
Ia not this a terrible arrangement
of the free trade policy, and yet we
6nd men who gre chronic grum
blers aud don't ,row when they
are really well of, @ho are anxious
to bring the curse Of free trade
upon us. Will our people he de
cei sed We think not.-Spirjt Of

Omar FALLS. N. H., Feb. 26.-The cor.
oner's Jury in the Savtell case, yesterday
vent over the road between Rochester and
East Rochester and took particular notice
Of the vicinity Of Naster's voods on the
side road. about half mile from the Roch-
ester depot.
The jury was in session last evening and
agreed upon = verdict about 3 o'clock.
The verdict will be written and nled in
court today. In substance it declares the
body found in the Marsh Road woods Was
that of Hiram Savtell and taat he came to
his death BY reason Of bullet wounds in
flicted by Isaac Sawtell while in . carriage
near Nutter's woods, Wednesday, Feb. 5th.
The theory 10 that Isaac drove the team
and seeing detached barn on the edge Of
Nutter's voods, . short distance from the
road. there committed the murder. There
has been no evidence before the ju,y to
show that sccomplices had anything to do
with the crime.
While the verdict 10 not conclusive, it
ensures the trial of Isaac Sawtell in Sraf-
ford county, for murder committed in this
State.
