Brief Experience in
OFFICIAL LIFE In GREAT BRITAIN
Residence Abroad only Strengthens His
Faith in Protection.
THE REPUBLICAN TICKET INDORSED

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPATcH.,
PHILADELPHIA, September 29-John
Jarrett, the we'll known labor advocate and
ex-President of the Amalgamated Iron and
Steel Workers Association. arrived in this
city this afternoon and drove at once to the
Republican State Committee room at the
Continental Hotel. Mr.. Jarrett arrived
from Liverpool on the Servia on Sunday.
He is now United States Consul at Bir-
mingham, England. He is booked to re-
turn on the Etruria, which sails on Novem-
Der 8. To reporter who met him few
minutes after his arrival Mr.. Jarrett said:
We left Liverpool on the Goth. The trip was
pleasant to me, although the captain said that
it was one of the toughest in his experience.
But then. you see. 1 like the sea.
How do like England? So well that shall
serve only one term and positively no more.
Not that would not hold an Office for Govern
ment offices are easy to hold. The people, at
least those whom m eet, are so stiff and re-
served they are decidedly insular. 1 came here
on private business. 1 want first to see my
daughter who is near Pittsburg, and also to at
tend to some business relative to the manu-
facture of tin plate.
A STRONGER PRoTECTIoNIST.
On being asked what this was, he said:
Simply this: The Mckinley bill places a
good protection on tin plate, and Americans
should enjoy it. Now that the bill is to become
law want to see tin plate manufactured in
this country by our people for home consump-
tion and also for expectation. You can say for
me this. and say itemphatically. that If 1 was a
strong protectionist before went to England
/ am now doubly dyed-in-the-wool high tariff
man. My experience in England has increased
my ardency for high tariff 1 hive seen both
sides, and 1 know what l am salking about
Those people who assert that the cost of living
Is cheaper in England than here make tre-
mendous blunder. Here we have better living
at less cost in this country than England ever
had. ] am thoroughly convinced that the sys-
tenn of protection is not only beneficial one,
but that it is doubly essential to the well-being
and interest of the American people.
The feeling of the English merchants toward
the Mckinley bill is one of the bitterest AMI
mostly. They seem to act as If their business
was American instead of English. Why, after
the Sheffield meeting the feeling manifested
meetings was stopped. would like to read to
the American people some of the editorials
from the English press"
Asked if he would enter into the campaign
in this State, Mr.. Jarrett replied:
~ do not know. That is not my intention.
/ came here simply to attend to my private
affairs, and If any arrangement has been made
1OT ne 10 SO OH Lu0 Stuup huOW uOLuluS VI IL,
although, if the situation requires my work, 1
shall gladly and zealously take up the fight.
AN OPINION ON STATE ISSUES.
want to see Republican Congressman from
this State. The interests of the people de-
mand it, and, if needful will do all can TO
get them. Never again can the laboring classes
be humbugged in this State. They know that
strikes and that kind of thing are no bene-
fit to them. They are educating tnemselv
They have had their eyes opened, and if they
clearly see that the issue in this State is the
tariff know that they will rally round the Re
publican flag and vote the whole ticket And
if 60 on tbc- stump l shall take the English
newspapers with me and read them. That will
be enough to show the laboring classes where
their best interests lie.
What do think of the ticket? Pattison is
no friend of labor; that has often been proven.
Delamater and the men on the ticket with him
know personally, and heartily indorse. and
am sure the whole ticket will be elected.
Senator Emery know, but can pay no atten-
tion to his charges, for they are based upon per-
sonal animosity. and when personal enmity
enters into a matter of this kind it should be
absolutely ignored
Mr.. Jarrett leaves for Pittsburg tomorrow.
