LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
"orass on tho streetsu AGAIN.


To the Editor of the EVENING JOURNAL.
SIR: l am eredibly informed by an en-
ploye of the Harlan and HollinRsworth
Company that N. r. Benson, president
Of the City Council and a superintendent
Of the aforesaid company, is engaged In
importuning the employees Of the com.
psny to get assessed, Republicans and
Democrats alike, and giving them to
understand that the meaning Of Demo
cratic success In this country this fall Ia
free trade; that ships will all be built In
England; all the industries would Ian
guish and be driven out Of the coun-
try.
The above are some Of the teachings
of the party to which Mr.. Benson belongs.
but no intelligent or conscientious man
believes them or asserts them. We cannot
believe that Mr.. Benson is using his in
fuence to spread such nonsense. Mr..
Crsmp, far more competent authority
than Mr.. Benson says we can build ships
as cheaply as they can be built
in England. This was the second mari
time country In the world, aud would be
the frst now, but for the Republicans
who made laws to stop all ocean traffic.
The Democrats are proposing ia
do with wool, as the Republicans have
done with sugar, quinine and hides
make the woOlen industry more prosper
GUS. II Mr.. Benson is using his influence
as intended, he will probably propose to
levy higher tax on goat skins and
destroy our morocco industry TO grow
more pelts in the home market. '

THE Dover Sentinel In search OF infoi-
nation which tenyear-old boy could
supply asks:
What good does II do any laborer in
this country when a man goes over 70
England or Germany and buys a suit Of
clothes or a supply Of hoiserYY
ANY writer on political economy would
answer that exchange trade is carried on
between merchants here and merchants
in Europe because It is mutually profit
able, One can obtain the surplus Of the
other at less cast. Eash obtains the
highest price for mis- surplus and
buys the others surplus at the lowest
price. Each exchanges his labor for the
others labor at the best advantage. Any
other exchange, any restriction to this
natural exchange, is costly and disad-
vantsgeous to both II Delaware ships
her peaches to New York and brings back
implements and merchandise, she Is pur.
suing trade in its most civilized and ad-
vantageous form. She exchanges
labor for labor in the most natural
and profitable manner. No philosopher
or scholar teaches any other form because
any other form is a restriction and an at
tempt of legislation to control trade,
which cannot be other than dlsadvan-
tageous interference. Only the man who
has something to sell, for which be wishes
to Increase the price, proposes any other
mode Of exchange. Protection is lying
humbug; it means higher prices for the
protectionist's goods.

THERE is no law TO prevent a man from
acting a fool when he writes his will.
There is fatality which seems to drive
otherwise sensible men to do the most in
comprehensibiy foolish things when they
attempt to govern the use and distribu-
tion Of their property after death. Few
men can comprehend that personal con-
troll ceases at death. A case In point is
that Of the news that Mrs. Hutchins has
become an inmate Of New Jersey Aims
house. Her husband. who died five
years ago, left his entire es-
tate Of $50, 900 to Henry George
for his Progress and Poverty pro-
paganda. Mrs Hutchius got, after
lawsuit, $40, 900, Of which she has been
robbed Mr.. Georges net share Of. the
protrasted proceedings was $3.50, for the
possession Of which he is now suing
his own lawyer. II is as useless to
advise man to distribute his
property before his death as it is
to advise the hRyseeds not TO buy green
goods ANY sensible man may provide
an annuity and then die at the proper
time or leave his property in accordance
with the wishes of those who are likely
to establish some legal claim to it.
