A Point for Free Trade.

Two or three years ago an English man
ufacturer whom I know came to this
country and made an extensive exami-
nation of our Industries. On his return
home he wrote for the Manchester Elk.
aminer and Times an elaborate account
Of his journey and of what he had
seen.
He sent copy of the paper to me and
III 1T was this sentence UNDERSIGNED with
a pen:
If we could have free trade with the United
states every mill In the country would be
closed in two years.
My English friend was mistaken in
that. Many of our mills would be GER
tainly shut up but some of them could
live in spite of the competition of the
cheap labor of Europe. Our iron fur
naces would cease to smoke, our rolling
mills would be silent but a few of our
textlble industries would survive.
But my friend was right in this, that
many thousands of our people would be
thrown out of employment; many thous-
ands of homes now comfortable, thrifty
and happy would bereduced to abiect
want; hundreds Of millions of dollars
invested in factories of many kinds
would be worthless and many thousands
of business men would be bankrupt and
the entire financial and business interests
of the country would be thrown into CON
fusion.
This state of things would continue
two or three years more or less; then the
protection would be again adopted, but
ruin brought upon our industries could
not readily be repaired.
Such result Of free trade would be
inevitable. N. D.

The state of Nevada is a small affai


The state of Nevada is small affair,
having scarcely more population thaa a
single congressional district in New
York. But though little Nevada is bold
er in its demands upon the nominating
conventions than any other state in the
Union. 1t knows what it wants and if it
doesn't get it, boldly declares that it will
bolt. 1t wants free silver men at the
head of both national tickets. The
Democrats have gone so far even as to
instruct their delegates to bolt in case an
opponent of free silver is NOM
mated. The Republicans have
not gone as far as that, but they prob
ably feel about the same way. Probably
neither national convention will be great
ly inundated by these threats, but they
go to show the strength of the silver
sentiment in Senator Jones's pocket
borough.

One need not be a very close observer
in order to discover that within fort
night there has been great change in
the situation as regards the Republican
Presidential nomination, and that that
change has been brought about largely
by the revival of Mr., Blaine's name, and
the determination on the part of large
and powerful body of Republican leaders
to make him the party nominee in spite
of his declination to become an avowed
candidate. This movement has rapidly
gathered force and is still growing with
a phenomenal rapidity that is explainable
only upon the assumption that it accords
with the popular wish. While
Republican conventions have gen
orally endorsed the administration
of President Harrison, and while
some of them have to certain extent
committed their delegates to his renomi-
nation, in almost all of them there has
been an undercurrent of Blaine sentiment,
which had it not been repressed by Mr.
Blaine's letter of declination would have
proved much stronger than the Harrison
sentiment. That undercurrent of senti-
ment still exists and though in the case
of a few states and districts it may be held
that in check by instructions, for the most
part it will be perfectly free to make itself
felt at Minneapolis. The Maine dele
gates came very near being tied up bv
aresolution which was open to the con
struction of being an instruction, but a
timely question by one of the delegates
has left it free to advocate and vote for
the undoubted first choice of the Repub
licans of the state, Mr.. Blaine or, should
Mr.. Blaine decline, for any other Repub-
lican whose nomination would be most
likely to bring victory.
If it were certain that before the bal
loting at Minneapolis Mr.. Blaine would
not peremptorily refuse to accept the
nomination if rendered it could be pre-
dicted with good deal of confidence
that Mr.. Blaine would be the Republican
leader in the next campaign. About the
only doubt in the case arises from the
uncertainty of Mr.. Blaine's intentions. 1t
is quite evident, however, that the Re
