THE TARIFF AND LABOR.
England Patronizes American Farmers
Ont OF Pure Self-Interest.
SLAUGHTER. July 8. la

sLAUGHTEs, July 5, 1891.
To THE EDITOR: Your criticism upon the
Youngstown correspondent in relation to the
tariff is in excellent order and sound judgment.
In his communication to the Labor Tribune he
dwells upon the apparent fact that we in Amer.
lea are bound by necessity to exchange our
wheat and other productions for the products of
England, either in raw material or manufsc-
tured goods-this in special relation to the tin
plate industry.
Now let me submit the question fairly. Why
do We send our agricultural products TO Eu.
ropee Simply because Europe needs our super
abundance and can buy cheaper from America
than anywhere else. Should England find a
cheaper and better source of supply, the cant.
tai that flows toward this country would irnns-
diately be turned in that direction and our
European market shut of. Europe Is not trad
ing with the United states from sentimental
standpoint, but simply because better business
can be done in all respects than with anv other
country. England does not traffic with us he
cause she loves America better than sny othar
country. She trades because in the matter of
pounds, shillings and pence she can do better
than elsewhere. And this rule holds good the
world throughout
Now, our youngstown friend is troubled on
the ground that II we DO not exchange commod-
lilies England will withhold business Never
fear. As We have stated, foreign countries win

There is now an abundance of labor, and con-

large amounts of snow in the mountains the
prolonged cool weather caused this to melt very

rHE DEATH OF HAMLIN.

With the death of Hannibal Hamlin. of
Name, passes away the last Of the eminent
men who presided over the birth OF the
Republican party, unless it be Hamilton
Fish, of New York, who still survives at
great age. Mr.. Hamlin was Democratic
member of Congress as early as 1912,
was elected as Democrat to the United
States Senate in 1874 and reelected
in 1851, but he manifested his anti-slavery
ieanings as early as 184s and left the Demo-
cratic party in 1856. The Kansas and
Nebraska bill was more than Mr.. Hamlin
could endure. His selection as vice presi-
dent on the Republican National ticket was
due to the fact that il was desirable to
recognize the anti-slavery Democrats
whose fusion with the anti-slavery Wings
formed the Republican party. Mr.. Lin
coin was an old Henry Clay Wing, while
Mr.. Hamlin was Siias Wright Democrat,
and at the time of his nomination, in 1850,
was the most prominent recruit
from the Democratic party. Mr..
Hamlin, in his prime, was q vigor-
Gus and well-equipped debater, about
the caliber of Senator Ben Wade, of Ohio,
whom he resembled in his sturdy, down.
right honesty, courage, independence and
simplicity of character. In his eventful
congressional life he had served with Web
ster, Calhoun. Clay, Benton, Douglass,
Wright, Seward, Summer, Chase, Buchan-
IN, Corwin, Fessenden, Fish, JEFF Davis,
Stephens. Toombs; in short, with
every notable American statesman
who has figured in our history for the last
fifty years, for he entered Congress in 1912
and left it for the last time in 1881. He
survived all his great associates many
years and goes down to his grave full of
years and full of honor.
During his whole political career Hamlin
retained the unbroken confidence of his
state. and it is no exaggeration to say that
the detection of Hamlin made
Maine Republican state. Simple
in dress and speech; sturdy in fig
ure; resolute in temper; and an
absolutely honest, upright, pure man in
public and private life, Mr.. Hamlin was
idolized by the farmers of his state, who
gave him everything in their gift and re-
luctantly allowed him to retire from serv-
ice on his motion at the ripe age of y.
Mr.. Hamlin and Simon Cameron, of
Pennsylvania, are among the few American
politicians who have consented to resign
and leave public life to make room for
younger men. Mr.. Hamlin was not a
great statesman in the sense that Seward,
Chase, Sumner and Fessenden were great
men, but he was great and sturdy citizen
of superior ability and wisdom, who bore
himself nobly in peace and in war, in
youth and old age.

Keep 1t Out Of the Papers.


"Kesp it out OF the paper" is the
cry which the local newspaper pub
Usher daily hears. To obllee often
costs considerable, though the party
who makes the request thinks i.
scarcely worth saying "thank you"
for. A newspaper is peculiar article
in the public's eye. The newsgatherer
is stormed at because he gets hold OF
one item, and is abused because he
does not get another. Young men
and often younk women, as we'll as
older, perform acts which become
legitimate items for publication and
then rush to the newspaper Offices to
beg the editors not to notice their
escapades. the next day they con-
denim the same paper for not having
published another party doing the
same thing they were guilty OF, forget.
ting, apparently, their late visit to
the printing Office. The subscribers
expect to read the news; and there IL
always wonder when, for charity's
sake, an item on the street and in
everybody's mouth is not found in
the next issue OF the paper. The aver
age human nature is q queer COM
pound, but the newspaper editor
understands it as we'll as he does his
spelling book.
