To tho Editor Of the Register:
S1R:-The article referred to by j. Z.
Forbes as facts and nothing but 1acts,
published in your paper September oth'
would not have attracted any attention
had it been over his signature instead OF
appearing in your local as an insult not
only to the Seventh Ward Democratic
Club but to all who were in sympathy
with them. 1t is not my desire or In
tention to enter into protracted con-
troyerssy with Mr.. Forbes, but as the
matter may have attracted some
little attention, I merely wish
70 state that Mr.. Forbes did
appear on September 9TH at the
Island Democratic Club room, and as Tar
as know had been invited, as he had IN
his possession circular that had been
issued by the club, respectfully inviting
all Seventh ward Democrats to meet with
us. Mr.. Forbes did not meet with us TO
discuss the principals as laid down In the
circular letter, as you can and VIII
readily see. That was not his mission,
nor was it the desire of his confederate
in the background. He came into the
house of the ten saints, as he styles US,
in a perfect TRADE, first abusing the
club as body trying to break up the
Democratic party, and next for attempt
ing to have Republicans relieved and
Democrats appointed TO office; finally,
he fell upon two members of the club,
calling one thief, the other q forger.
Is it to be supposed gentlemen will
eiIaDtlv cit and submit to such? Not by
any means, and had it not been for cool
heads Mr.. Forbes would have been
thrown bodily into the street and re-
ceived the reward he justly deserved.
Do you see how free speech was sup
pressed? K. ). kINcHELoE'

Mrs. Helen M. Cougar, the noted
temperance speaker, said the other day
she expected to live to see the Republic
can party in its grave. What subject
she will be for another Rider Haggard
to write upon! The difference will be
that, unlike the creature of his imsgin.
alive brain the "She" will not wear the
appearance of youth and beauty upon
her two thousand-year-old carcass. The
Republican party has accomplished
much for the good of the country and OF
humanity, but it still has upon its
shoulders the responsible task of pre-.
venting some other party from tearing
down the glorious structure it has built

handing are unusually high Wheat is

Free Trade and Measer Returns.

The zeal of those foreign gentlemen
who are in great measure the source
and support of the persistent demand
that the markets of this country shall be
opened to the free access of producers
and traders the world over, is by no
means confined to their desire to do the
manufacturing for our people and the
transportation that free-trade policy
would make necessary. They are seek
ing to add to these colossal advantages
the further one of cheapening the food
supplies of British operatives by a fall
in the price of American farm pro.
ducts.
A fall in prices of such products as
Europe has to buy from this country
would inevitably follow free trade, as
the resulting increase in importations
would necessarily force out of their
present employment hundreds of thou
sands of men now engaged in domestic
manufacturing and in the assembly and
distribution of products There is no
room for controversy on this point. We
cannot allow foreigners to do the manu-
featuring for this country and at the
| same time keep our own people en-
| ployed in the lines so many of them are
now working. Not even the widest
| theorist in the free trade contingent
disputes this fact.
Comforted by the certainty of confus-
ion to domestic industries that must
follow the first approach to free foreign
trade, and COMPOUNDED by the demand
| that they shall offer some solution for
the problem thus raised, the heralds of
the proposed new despensation quite
naturally looked to England for a hint
to be used by way of answer. And it
was soon Forthcoming from the last
| living representative of that trinity of
statesmen-Cobden, Bright, Gladstone
especially prominent in inaugurating
the existing British revenue policy.
Mr. Gladstone, with an eye to the main
chance that has never nown sleep when
the interest of HIS country were gagged
against those of the outside world, an
swered that America should be content
to raise cheap corn and cheap meats for
British operatives, who could thereby
afford to manufacture more cheaply than
now. And forthwith all the free-trade
shouters cried, amen! and with the plea
Of cheapness they now 60 up and down
the land asking voters to close the shops
and factories of this country until such
time as the upper and neither millstones
of enforced idleness and pressing nee
essity grind prices down in conformity
| with the notions of the most exacting
advocate of cheapness.
The "Reformer's'' hope is that voters voters
by failure to look SO far ahead, may not
! discover where Free Trade will force
them until such time as retreat is i'm
possible.
