one week from to-day the great con-
nict a. ths polls vii DO fought. The
issue IS oas dat involves the happ.-
ness and prosperity Of the country.
May good elt.Leas hayo been lured
into the belief thai our present indus
trial eontentmens IS due entirely to
natural causes IA spite Of tne protect
i've tariff they believe that the IN
heTens forces OF our civilization are
superior to the natural and acquired
advantages Of those OF al the rest Of
the world. and that our inventive
genius and incompatible thrift are
Impregnable bulwarks against success
ful competition. Believing THIS. they
are ready aud anxious 10 accept free
trade and thereby throw our markets
open 10 the world.
They DO not seem 10 appreciate the
stern reality that our prosperity Is the
product OF industry protected from
competition. but blindly argue that we
would have been more prosperous
without such protection. This IS purely
theoretical, aud the theory has never
been demonstrated 10 Do a good one.
by turning 10 England, proof of the
failure OF both theoretical and prac-
tea free trade Is abundant. What
ever the English may lack IN inventive
genius and thrift. IS counterbalanced
by their access to free raw materials and
free market, upon which the sun
never sets, for their products.
With these two great factors
IN their favor, the condition of
the industrial masses OF England is
pitiable. The wheels of manufacture
are motionless- Thousands of men.
women and children stand face to face
with starvation. There IS no work for
them. The shops are closed and the
factories are idle. The chill winds of
coming winter blow upon naked limbs
and tho sufferers have no money to buy
clothes TO shield them. There are no
provisions in the Iarder; no potatoes in
sae ON; no fuel IN the shed. The people
are hungry. This Is the condition in a
country where practical free trade en-
Joys It's fullest sway.
Will our intelligent, but misled,
democratic friends 20 to the polls one
week from today and by their votes
ask that this country shall experience
a like period of distress2 IL does not
seem that they would DO so with their
eyes open, and yet tho sophistry of
free trade has blinded the eyes of
many 70 the awful peril such a step
WILL invite.
