Free Trade and Low Wages,

No one could be better qualified to
study the condition Of English working
men under free trade or 70 compare it
with that of American under protection
than Mr.. John Jarrett, United States
Consul at birmingham, who h's just ar
rived on visit to his home in Pittsburg
Mr.. jarrett was free trader when he
came to this country in 1850, but expe
rience soon made him an earnest advo-
cate of protection.
Speaking of the condition of wages in
England Mr. jarrett says that skilled
labor is paid less in England now than
forlAerly. I'm 1864" he adds, skill
ed laborers in the StafFordshire district,
where the highest prices are paid, were
then given twelve shillings per ton for
pudding, and now, over thirty years at
terward, they receive ouly eight shll-
lings. I expect the prices per ton will
soon be six shilings and sixpence. Ia
iuxtaposition, look at our country. In
1860 we paid pudll,rs S. 80 per ton
or about fourteen shillings, and nov
they receive S. so per ton Protection
raised the wages in this country, and
free trade lowered them in England"
The American wage earner's tariff,
Mr.. Jarrett tells US. has para yzed the
lin industry in Wales | never saw
such deplorablc condition in tin facto-
ries. and about one-half have closed down.
The manufacturers say that if the Dem
ocrats do not win this fall and repeal the
tariff they will be compelled IN self de-
Tense to- start tin factories in this coun-
try.
Mr.. Jarrett states that 1.-THE recent
election in Rhode Islam was a great
disappointment to the free traders in
England, and now many of them doubt
whether the Demo ,rats will be able TO
elect a President next fill Material
aid will no doubt be given the Demo
Gratis in the coming campaign"
All the material aid that English free
traders eau gi..s 70 the Democratic party
coming campaign will be much
e than Offset by the knowledge on
.e part of American wOrkiugmen of the
material aid which protection has
brought to their homes and their fire
sides.

WAC went to Brazil, 1900 are record

that $4,000 Poles died in Brazil frou,

stream of emigrants to the United States
aud this has been increased by the re-

A Protective rarlR the Best Revenue.

When the Republican party came
into power in 1861 it found revenue
system totally Inadequate to the ordi-
nary expenses of the Government -
Mr.. Buchanan's administration had ex-
pend.d about $50, 900, 900 more than
its receipts To repair this Inadequate
system, as well az to provide as far as
possible for the extraordi lary expendi-
lures Of the war, new tariff vas framed
aud on protective lines Many changes
have been made since then, first TO force
up the revenue to the highest available
point, and then after the war TO reduce
the lcves as fast as the cxigeneies of the
Trersur5 would allow And the sue
cess of these financial measures is now o
maitcr of history The world was as
touished at the magnitude of our income.

The Ma ional Treasury Without going
into particulars. it will suffice to say
that no nation in the worlds history can
present financial record a. all compar-
able with our The one fact to be i'm
pressed upon you is, that il every
change in our revenue laws, made by
the Republican party, whether to in
crease or reduce the revenue, the tariff
was always adjusted on protection lines;
and every such adjustment has been en-
inently successful as financial II easure
Our latest tariff-the Mckinley bills
eminently protective tariff. While its
free list has been extended beyond any
former prscedents, its protective duties
have had strict reference to competitive
imports, aud to the higher scale of wages
and of living in the United States, com
pared with other countries Against
this policy the Democratic party is now
making lis fight.

Senator Gormans speech in the SEN
ate on Friday Of last week when the
Naval Appropriation bill was uut,r con
sideratio1 was remarkable. both for its
frAnkucss and the rebukc administered
to certain Democrats IN the House WHO
are endeayoring to earn little cheap
notoriety aud party prestige by pairing
down the appropriations to point that
viii cripple tic administration Of the
government. The Senator took the pre-
caution 10 forlify himself with statistics,
something that it would he well for
these queer economists to initiate before
posing as Treasury watch-dogs.
Senator German touk the ground that
the new navy should not be sacrificed
SIMPLY to make false showing ofecon-
omy-that it was impossible to reduce
tie expenses Of the government without
doing injustice in many ways, which
would invite the resentment Of the peo-
pie, rather than their approval. He
showed by an accurate table of figures
that there had been since the Forty third
Congress in 1876 steady increase Of
the appropriations by every Congress
except the Forty-eighth, no matter what
administration had been in power, and /.
Ne might have added, that the failure of
The Forty eighth to make the necessary
appropriations caused an expensive def
cheney which had to be provided for by
its successor. aud impeded thu wise and
economical ADMINISTRATION Of the govern
ment.
1t is this pennywise and pouud-foolislr
policy which leads to extravaganza. aud
not the enlightened provision for the &C.
fual needs Of the government. To re-
fuse to appropriate sufficient money fol
the construction Of the navy is to imperil
she honor Of the nation, if not its exist
rnce, and to refuse to provide for tIiC
permanent improvements of the country
il to sacrifice millions that have alread,
been expended with the absolute GER
tainty that more intelligent representa-
tivcs of the people will succeed thos'
who are now in Congress. and vii
make these appropriations and whateve
additional have become necessary b.

Farming In Maryland.


Farming 10 Maryland is continually
imprt wing aud there never has been
better time for the accumulation Of
money by the energetic and thrifty far
mer than the present. The Bal limo e
American in recent issue. in discuss
ing the agricultural interest Of the State
has this to say;
Farming in Maryland is improving
all the time, in spite of occasional mete-
geological disadvantages, which are a,
common to other S ates as they are to
our own. One great advance is the in
creasing diversity of crops. Our agri-
culiurisis are finding out that it will not
do to depend exclusively on one interest
A farmer who raises only wheat is 81 t
to lose money, and the same may be said
of the man who relies entirely on peach
eS or any one crop. AS the years 'oIne
on, farmers will 6ud that truck will be
one of the surtst and most lucrative de-
partments of the farm. There is always
a good market for it, and the p-ices and
the profits are increasing every season.
Maryland lands are as rich and rs pro-
ductive as those of my State in the
Union, aud with the best methods and a
wise variety, farming in any section of
the State will pay good return. But
it is absolutely necessary that our farm
ers keep well informed of the progress
Of agriculture. New methods are as
necessary as they are in any other field
of effort"
