FREE TRADE ENGLAND.

In Free Trade England the number of
persons employed in the textile indus
tries has been reduced more than half
since 1870, while in the United States the
number has increased during that period
more than three fold. In 1874 the num-
ber employed IN the wOrsted factories of
that free trade country was reduced 5000 ;
in 1885 the number employed in her flax
factories was reduced $4,000; in the silk
factories the reduction was 5000 for 1870
and in elastic factories. 1874. was II .O00
The cotton and woolen Industries have
almost remained stationary. In Scotland
and Ireland it is the same story of stag
nation. and their only hope is i'm the free
trade policy of Cleveland throwing open
our markets. England cannot be blam-
ed for her attempts TO regain our country
as market for her manufactured wares.
But the preterse of the free trader that
England is looking to our interests as
well AS her own. is not in accord with
her past attitude toward us. though in
harmony with the democratic habit of
getting on the wrong side.

The Hon. Jere Silk Socked Simpson is
now getting from $50 to 800 per night
from the alliance for lecturing in the
East. This is a good price for an anna
teur comedian, but Jere is productive
of much laughter and deserves good pay.
Although ignorant and inscriptions. he
is decidedly cunning and has worked
the Kansas farmer more successfully for
his own profit than any other fake we
have seen for many day. Jere has dis
covered that the Kansas farmer is in a
better condition financially than last fall
and the splendid prospect for crops has
enabled them to wear socks. hence as
their representative he has condescended
10 don silk ones. He is, however. not
content with prospects for future crops,
but is making hay while the sun shines.
and heroically sacrifices himself for the
paltry 500 a night.

WHAT BLAINE lS DOING.

There is mistaken idea among many
people as to reciprocity and its relation
to free trade. The democrats. with theil
characteristic misconceptions, claim that
reciprocity is free trade on small scale
and admit its successful workings and
good results. Then boldly ask what
would free trade do. land answer for them
selves.
Reciprocity. as urged by Blaine. is but
the carrying out of the republican idea of
long standing. A high protective tariff
upon all articles we can produce at home.
and all goods not protitably produced
here admitted free. The admission of
raw materials free. in order that home
labor may manufacture it. We have no.
ticed many democratic papers speak of
the drop in sugar Us one of the demo-
cratic demands. 1T the same time know
ing that republicans of both Houses have
long advocated the admission Of sugar
free. and have met a solid party vote
against tuc iiIeaSliTt. lie famous NILS
bill does not give free sugar even under
the reciprocity exchange. Brussels car
pet have not. as yet. been affected as to
price. but the same goods are now made
at home. giving employment to our labo-.
There has never been time that the ne
cessaries of life have been so cheap rs at
present and the produce of farm labor so
high as at present, and were it not for
the Internal importation of Dagoes. Huns
and other diseased bipeds all labor would
a good price.
The endeavor of reciprocity is to pro-
vide cheap necessaries of life and fur
nish market for American goods and
free admission of goods not suitable for
home production. The sentiment toward
our Secretary is becoming so favorable
that his only escape from the presidency
will be refusal to make the race on ac-
count of poor health. and the free traders
are making the most out of that. But
the sound sense of the American people
will give victory to reciprocity. the re-
publican party. and the honest labor of
he nation. even without the leadership

There are now beginning to appear in

The people have found out that taking
the tariff off of sugar has made it cheap
er. They are crying for more tariff re-
duction. Why should it not affect hats,
carpets. blankets. tin-pans and every
thing else the same way?-State journal.
One soon begins to weary OF this pa
laver. The Republican party has long
been willing to remove the duty from
sugar because we cannot produce more
than one-tenth of the amount we con-
sume. The democrats have opposed free
sugar because it would injure Louisiana
and her Dagoes. The Mills bill did not
reduce the duty on sugar. it was that
Mckinley bill, which has brought tin
plate, pearl button, wooden goods, and
other factories into this country. One
only deceives himself when pretending
not to see the difference between ad-
free an article we do not produce
at home by our own labor. and one of
which we produce an abundance. There
is competition with foreign labor in one
case. cheaper goods without competition
Of home with foreign labor in the other.

OUl. FARMERS.

In 1890 there were more than 30. .OOC
agricultural societies in the United States
and the membership was about $500. 900.
Notwithstanding this fact, which shows
the great number of farmers who are
taking an interest in political and nation
al affairs, we feel that Secretary Rusk is
| correct when he stated that the great
need of the hour was to more closely
study the workings of the mind of the
farmer, and the cause of the general up
rising of the farming element. Because
some farmers have really felt that they
had been neglected by the lawmakers of
the country is no reason for thinking
them in the wrong altogether. The av-
erage American farmer is sensible man
aud by no means an anarchist. but on
account of the hard times of the past few
years and the nature of his employment,
has not been SO well posted in the affairs
of the nation and probable causes of the
dull times as should be the case. This
has made them more liable to be led in
to an erroneous way of viewing political
affairs by self-seeking, self-named farm
er politicians. While the per cent. gov
ernment loan and mortgage regulators
are with the farmers, they represent but
a small per cent, and like the noisy re-
former. come from class of dishonest
individuals found in every cline and fac
ton.
The anarchist sentiment of the world.
and especially of America, is found in the
slums of the cities and not under the
sunlight that falls upon the home of the
American farmer. The western farmer
is recognized as the industrious home
making element of the country and is. as
are his interests, decidedly republican.
If eastern capitalists can protect then.-
selves from their immediate surround
ings they need fear no evil from the
farmer when he has begun to do his own
thinking.
The uprising of the west is not with the
farmers alone, nor is it against the east
as people, but against that condition of
affairs that permits the slums and saloon
fed element of the cities to vote at the
dictatiOn of one set of leaders, and they
of the most disreputable and self seeking
element of the country. Our farmers are
now listening to the statements of such
men as Secretary Rusk who have the in !
ferests of the farmer at heart. The only |
requisite to the success of the farmer and |
through him the republican party, is for
he people to think for themselves before
the statements of every mis-
Informed, truth-hiding leader, and fol-
owing in their footsteps.
The Globe-republican., 1891-04-08

THE Statements of Ex-Governor Craw.
ford concerning Kansas land and Kansas
people. are in accord with our past utter
ances and present opinion of the status
of affairs in Grain Covered Kansas. He
says:
Every Kansas mortgage has behind
it a farm or tract of land worth, in ordi-
nary times. double and treble the face
value of such mortgage. Sooner or later
this will be paid, principal and interest.
And the same is true of town. county
and other securities.
People of Kansas are neither swindlers
nor repudiators. They are honest, intel
ligent. industrious people, who observe
and respect the golden rule as sacredly
as any other people on the face of the
earth. l believe Kansas is the best ag-
ricultural state in the Union. its soil is
unsurpassed in fertility and the climate
is mild and healthful. The state Occa-
sionally suffers from drouth but perhaps
no more than the states east of the Miss
issippi suffer from too much rain.
As stock, grain and fruit producing
state Kansas is unsurpassed. The State
debt is less than 81 900, 900 and her secu-
rites the best in the market. Her
public schools are endowed with many
millions and all her institutions are in
condition.
