THE FREE PARLIAMENT.

To the Editors Of the NeIcs.
In letter recently received from n
friend i'm a large manufacturing locality
in Massachusetts. L find a paragraph so
pertinent to one of the issues involved
in the Presidential campaign that / offer
il TO you. He says:
Trade Is good in our line: In fact, all lines
are In healthy condition. j hope we shall
elect "A Republican President, SO that we shall
be sure TO let the tariff alone. We hear a lot
OF talk about England, and what 0ne time
the work people have there. Why don't they
induce some Of the workingmcn TO go back
theret They would have their hands full.
hen we get free trade here | shall want to

These are the words Of one who, a few
years ago, was himself a factory oper-
ative In England, his native country but
who has in this his adopted home risen,
step by STEP from n weaver OF wooden
goods TO the superintendency OF one of
the largest and most successful manu-
factories orshis textile in New England

industry, the Pawtuxet Valley, the
writer was thoroughly convinced OF the

The remark has been made that long

INGRATITUDE.

An ungrateful and undevout man has
been compared to hog eating nuts un-
der tree without ever looking up to
see whence they come The descrip-
ton seems to us fairly to fit good
many Southern men and journals,
which are now girding bitterly at the
Republican party.
Here for instance is the Atlanta Con-
stitution in recent issue castigating
the party of progress thus unmerci-
fully:
The popular feeling Is voiced in the cry,
"Turn the rascals OUT" Patient endurance
has It's limit, and Harrison and his partners
have well-nigh worn IL out. They have shown
US how lightly they hold their responsibilities,
and how ready they are TO prostitute the
public service in the interests of a sectional
partisanry which they hope 20 perpetuate

another such administration. We must
smash IL at the polls in pure self-defence.
Now, unfortunately for the Constitu-
tion's rhetoric, the same issue of the
paper contained the following table
showing the increase of taxable prop
erty under the government of the ''ras-
| cals. :"

ANOTHER CONFESSION.

The Dry Goods Economist a consist
ent advocate of free trade, has come to
the confessional and discourses thus
meaningly on the pearl button industry:
The important development of the domestic
pearl button industry Is the sufficient reason
for the stress which The Economist lays upon
dustry within the past two years has been in
deed prodigious. The provisions of the new
tariff are virtually prohibitiye, as a levy of
pa cents a line, plus the % per cent duty,
raises the "Chinese wall" pretty close TO the
top of the atmosphere. Moreover, the manu-
facturers have the advantage of free raw ma
terial, as the shells come in without duty.
Such being the case, one OF the four alterna-
tives was inevitable: There must be a radical
cut In the cost of the imported article, the
consumer must pay far more than formerly,
the use OF buttons must stop, or domestic
industry must he, AS IL were, mobillzed on
short notice; The first was impossible, be,
cause the European buttons were produced
under the severest possible conditions of la
bor The second was out of the question, be-
cause the + p customer ,nqsd struck az Mfhhnlsy
for certain standard purposes the pearl but
ton has become simply "a necessity. There re-
mained as an inevitable consequence a rapid
development of the domestic industry.
Within the two years the six establishments
in operation under the old law have jumped
to l65 and included in the number are several
of considerable size and capable OF a good
quality of product. And, with equal steps,
the shell importing trade has assumed impor-
tance, with every likelihood of further rapid
development.
As the demand for pearl buttons is so great
and so steady, the new industry has stable
foundation. At the same time IL runs the
risk which attends all high tariff infants"
Attracted by the bewtching vistas OF quick
fortunes, an eager host rush into the field and
precipitate a competition which soon beats
down the price and skins the cream off the
the trade.
Note in the four alternatives that the
first was impossible, because buttons
are made in Europe by operatives paid
starvation wages, and further reduction
in wages was impossible. Yet our free
trade Democratic friends ask our work
men TO compete with these poor souls,
to whom reduction in wages means
diminution in the absolute necessities
of life.
The second and third alternatives in
terest us but little, but the fourth
shows the results, and they bring con-
fusion to our Democratic friends. In
two years we have added 159 new fac
tories, an increase of exactly 1850 per
cent, and to many hundreds of men
employment has been given while the
price of pearl buttons has steadily de-
clined, and all this because of the in
iquitous Mckinley bill.

NEWPORT CONTEST.

There is an all important question
pressing for solution by the Newport
electors tomorrow. On it the decision
rendered will be complete.
That question is whether the major
ity of the people of Newport consider
their rights Of self-government worthy
Of maintenance or whether they prefer
TO delegate them to some individual
who will assume dictatorial power at
any moment that he sees fit.
The lawabiding citizens are to decide
whether the laws which they have en-
acted for their own protection are to be
observed OF whether they are to be vio-
lated openly, not by those to whom
lawlessness is "A means of livelihood or
revenge but by that very chief execu-
tive who is appointed to enforce them.

tionary in its character as could be
placed before any community TO settle.

motives. Neither of them are tempo.
rary or the result of recent circum-
stances. Both were plainly actuated
by premeditated purposes and plans
fully matured before the ability to exc
cute them was given Mr.. Honey by his
election as mayor. His purpose was to
so inrench himself and his party in
power that the natural Republican ma
jority should be rendered powerless.
AS mayor aided by his board of alder
men the election machinery is all within
his power. The will OF the people
as expressed at the polls is made

means of counting the ballots and de-
claring the returns. As he has himself
confessed, he counts the ballots. marks
them himself and then orders them
burned in spite of the wishes of many,
and solely as he says to prevent parti-
san Republican committee from ex-
amining them. Realizing the enormity

dignation at the polls too great to be
overcome by fraudulent counting he

could not otherwise maintain.

AS L WAS SAYING.

A member of the committee on water
OF the Advance Club when that commit
tee was looking up the matter or water
shed for PROVIDENCE was met by resi-
dent of one of the villages in the Paw
tuxet Valley who became very much in
terestel in the subject. Suddenly a
happy thought struck him and he ex-
claimed. "Say. / tell you what you can

pure water and will furnish an ample
supply for the city of Providence" The
man was thoroughly in earnest and vent

diameter and grew eloquent over its vir-
tues.
The people on North Main street Fri

gaily colored banners. This was all
right, but between the lines af color on
the banners could be seen the inscription

The face of everyone at Turks Head
was turned upV ard yesterday afternoon
about o'clock, and so when NEWS re-
porter happened along TO be also in the
swim he turned his face upward and
saw man performing quite an acrobatic
feat. The man had come out on the rope
suspended between the Industrial Trust
Company's building, now in process OF
erection, and the building opposite.
Stretching out his legs SO that they
pointed as nearly northwest and south
west as possible, the man balanced him
self on the rope. and working with both
hands, took in the flag. He then made
his way back to the building from
whence he came, and his many spectators
dispersed.
Frankness is quality to be admired,

policy to have it stand out in letters

bridge that bears this legend:

1T cannot be said TO be a particularly
praiseworthy condition, or one calcu-
lated to excite self-satisfying thoughts
to recall the fact that the bicycle relay
trip to Westerly and return, as planned

for the reason that no bicyclist or set of
bicyclists could be found who would
undertake the trip over the lamentably
poor roads which connect that city with
PROVIDENCE.

NEWPORT Republicans should use
every fair efforts to make their majori-
ties as large as possible. They must
remember that no appeal from an
unjust count can be made to the Legis-
lature on this election. The Mayor and
Board Of Aldermen are the final judges
and from past experience it is fair to
presume that no efforts will be spared
to falsify the returns or to count out the
Republicans who may be legally elected

A CITY is attractive to the non-resi-

black Republicans of Georgia have
nearly trebled their wealth in fourteen
years, and the whites have more than
doubled theirs. The situation is not
deenerate.

A Suggestion.

To the Editors Of the Neus:
We have got to have postmaster APP
pointed soon. There appears TO be some
difficulty in making selection. we
want a good, clean man with large exec
utive ability and considerable push and
pluck.
Myself and many Others would suggest
the name of Frank +. Ballou AS a man
who combines the essen tials for the Office.
A good Republican and thoroughly sue
cessful business man. and one not unac-
quainted with the duties Of the office,
having served there four years at one
time as clerk.
If Mr.. Ballou could be induced to take
tine position he would be the right man
in the right place.
