In England every acre of land has tol
ages been appropriated, and is held un
der system Of absolute land monopo
ly. The general tenor of England's
laws, emerging from the past, displays
preference for privileges and class dis.
tinction Her inhabitants are separated
by unyielding and unreasonable social
divisions. The natural resources OF the
country have long since been FULLY ex.
plored. Forests have been felled; and
systems and dynasties have risen and
passed away. and their coming and
going has been witnessed by the
acorn's growth. For ages her people
have been contending for civil liberty.
For ages large portion of her inhab'
itants have been struggling to release
themselves from oppression. They have
been making progressive fight, hut ii
commenced long before the Genoese
navigator saw the outlines OF San Sal
vador. For ages the British mines have
been penetrated, and their wealth scat
tered over the world. The exbausting
effects of many harvest have told upon
the productive capacity of her soil.
Why, then, should we admit com
mercial supremacy in anyone else
With the most skilled artisans III the
world, with the best machinery in ex-
istence, with natural conditions in our
favor, with youth, strength and activity,
and constitutional government born
of great progenitors, why is it that we
do no hold our own in the commercial
struggle of mankind and why is it that,
ever since the Republican party OBJ
tanned the reins OF government, our
commerce has been deteriorating, and
we have progressed only because idiotic
Legislation could not hold us back?
When Mr. White closed, the applause
was simply deafening. 1t continued for
nearly five minutes.
Mr.. EsTEE's FINISH.
Mr.. Estee then replied to some of the
points Mr.. White had made. He spoke
about 80 minutes, in brief, as follows:
II will detain you but few mo-
ments. congratulate my distinguished
friend on the opportunities he has had
to find out how all the industries of this
great land are working. He would un-
be success in any of them.
My friend knows everything. He
knows what was in the minds OF the
Homestead strikers before they etruck,
when they struck, and after they
Mr.. Estee then told several funny
stories, endeavoring to break the force
OF Mr.. Whites argument. He said
that this was $500 600, 900 country, and
that this money would have to be raised
by taxation by Democrats as we'll as
Mr.. Estee wanted to
know where Mr.. White was going to get
his revenue from. He went on to re-
lterate some of the statements that he
made in his opening. He accused Mr..
White OF having uttered unpatriotic
statements in his closing remarks with
regard to Great Britain. He denied
that American manufactures sold
cheaper to foreigners, than to the con-
sumers in this country. In his
closing remarks, Mr.. Estee defended the
that the tariff did protect
American labor. He also referred to
the fact that the duty on barley had
kept 10, ,000, 900 bushels of Canadian bar
ley out of this country, and left it for
the American producer. He also denied
that the American consumer paid the
.ariff tax.
AS Mr.. Estee took his seat he was
oudly applsuded, and the first great
White Estee debate was over.
