REID AND THE IRISH.

The republican bid for the Irish Amer
lean vote, by appealing to the prejudice
of the Irish people against England, is
an insult. In the first place the Irish
American people are not! influenced. by
their passions in voting for the officers
of this great country. And secondly,
if such were the fact, they would vote
against Whitelaw Reid, in whose paper,
the Tribune, the following editorial,
signed Irish Mischief" appeared on
December IS, 1888:
perhaps one of these days American
congressman and other officials will
awaken to the sense that this lis IAN
American government, and that there is
vote still stronger than the Irish vote,
l in which it becomes them to take little
interest. The Irish influence in ques-
tions of an international character is
directly hostile to the United States,
and it is one Of the most serious dangers
against which we have to provide. The
faction which has been making use of
| Mr. Hewitt, Mr. Cox and President
| Arthur is not in the least concerned
about the peace, honor and prosperity
of this country; it is devoted exclusively
| to Ireland-and to Irish assassins. We
shall not quarrel with any man for low
ing his native land; but we do not mean
that the United States shall be tail to
| the Irish kite. If Irishmen can establish
their independence, all right; let them
do it, but they shall not use this republic
as a convenience. The Immediate OBJ
| iect of at least a considerable party of
them is to embroil us with England
about their affairs. That is what they
shall not do. We have little doubt that
the purpose in sending MIR Pryor to
London was to provoke a scene in the
court room and lay the foundation of an
international squabble; and we have no
doubt that when they invoked President
Arthurs Intervention the other day they
had less hope of saving O'Donnell than
of irritating the British ministry into an
answer which the American people
would resent. This scheme was de-
feated because both governments under
stood it. But suppose the president had
been a democrat of the Irish American
pattern, like Mr. Cox? The plain truth
is that, where the real or supposed in
terests of Ireland are concerned, a large
and noisy faction of the naturalizeC
Irish in the United States are disloya
if not treacherous to the adopted
country to which they have sworn
fidelity; but politicians and newspapers
are afraid to say So"
The same paper in speaking of Pat
rick Egan insinuated that there was 6
discrepancy of 100000 in his accounts
with the land league, in 1888. Or
september 6, 1891 the Tribune said tha
the recall of Minister Egan from Santi
ago was necessary, as it was of tn,
highest Importance that the United
States be represented at Chill by {
strong and experienced diplomatist.

What Protection Costs.

The tariff on tin plates now causes the
price here to exceed by at least $16,0O0,-
900 year the price abroad. Our wooden
goods cost US at least $1O0,000,0O0 a year
more than the same things cost in Eu-
rope. So with our glass, our earthen-
ware and many other indispensable
things. Altogether our protected arti
c1es cost us annually not less than $780,.
100000 in excess of what unprotected
foreigners pay for the same quantity OF
similar things. Of this sum only $500,
100000 go to our government; the re
manning $500, 900, 900 go into the pockets
of individuals. But the whole amount
is tax upon the people. The smaller
sum is tax for public purposes; the
larger sum is a tax for private profit

PROSPERITY OF NEW YORK FARMERS
B1ai1fe's Speech at Ophir Farm Exploded
by a Real Estate Man.


In his recent speech at Ophir Farm
James G. Blaine said: eve learn from
the Democratic party that these west
ern states are in a desperate condition.
The amount of their farm mortgages
rolls up into millions. You would sup
pose it fabulous that the amount of
money they embrace could ever have
been so invested. This is not so among
the farmers in New York. 1t is not so
among the farmers in New Jersey. 1t
is not so among the farmers of Connect
icut. 1t is not so among the farmers of
Pennsylvania. 1t is not so among the
farmers of any state near by whose con-
dition can be easily learned. But by a
singular fatality it is the western states
that have got all these farm mortgages
burdening them and taking the life out
of the people,"
Mr.. j. L. Douglass, large real estate
and insurance agent of New York city.
who has recently been travelling i'll cen
trail New York and in the Hudson river
valley, comes forward with the following
answer to Mr.. Blaine's statements:
81 challenge Mr.. Blaine and the Re
publican hosts and say that l have
for sale one farm of 1876 acres with good
buildings thereon at $4,000 at Claver-
| ack, Columbia county, N. Y; another
farm of 1O9 acres at Copake, Columbia
county, N. Y, at $4,000; another farm
| of 1876 acres at Taughannoclk. N. Y,
$4,000; another farm of 1S5 acres at
Stuyvesant, N. Y, $4,000. In each cast
the buildings alone cost about the
| amount now asked for the farm, and nc
purchasers at that.
cat Hudson, N. Y, the state, city and
county assessors met i'll September, took

The wool-producing states of the
Northwest have prospectively, at least,
a considerable interest in the question
now raised at the South as TO reducing
the area in cotton and raising their own
breadStuffS. The cotton product the
past year was unusually large. The
markets at home and abroad open to
the American product were glutted, and
the prices are lower than known for
many years. 1t is claimed that they
fell below the cost of production. 1t is
proposed. therefore, TO grow less cotton
and more corn, wheat and other farm
crops, in order to reduce the alleged
oyer-prOductiOn of the great staple.
This is not in accordance with the
wishes of the cotton regions. They
would greatly prefer to continue to CEN
ter their efforts OH the fieecy element in
the pod and buy their grains and farm
stuffs from the Northwest. Except in the
upland districts, where cotton is not
largely grown, there has been almost
no corn and wheat produced. In 1891
the corn yield of the South was Sal. 0O0,
900 bushels, an increase from 26S. 757, 900
bushels in ten years. There were
is, 491, 900 bushels of wheat, about the
average OF Minnesota, and 1880, 900
bushels more than the year before. Of
oats there were 76, u.s. 900 bushels. Pota-
toes and hay are herhaps nearly equal to
the local cOnSuinDtiOn.an and sugar and to-
baccO are diStinctively Southern staples.
The most notable growth of any prod
net in the South is in fruit. The value
of the fruits in 1880 was but. S9.0S4. 173.
and in 1891 filled the robust figures OF
$40, 526, 600. These comprised largely
oranges and fruits not much grown in
the North except in California. 1t is
believed by those who have given the
situation the fullest inquiry that the
need OF the cotton regions is not to turn
their lands into corn, wheat and other
food products, but to have larger de-
mandS abroad for their cotton. 1t is
insisted that the tariff restraints upon
traffic with other people have served to
diminish the markets for the products.
More liberal tariff acts and the
cultivation of commercial relations
with other countries will great
ly increase the use of American cotton
abroad. The opening for it can be so
expanded that there will he no occasion
to think of reducing the yield on &C
count of an excessive surplus. The
South is, then. interested in tariff re-
duction and the fostering of trade re-
lations with all the great consuming
nations. The Northwest also can sup
ply the cotton growers with the food
staples, and the advantage of both sec
tons be promoted. They have a com
mon interest in the promotion of a lib
eral tariff policy.

ELECTRIC RAILROADS.

The Northern Pacific and its adjunct.
the Wisconsin Central, are taking the
lead, apparently. in feeling their way
toward electricity as the coming motive
force for use on railways. Mr.. WILLARD.
it is understood, would have as few in
Yestments as possible in the present
steam locomotives, in anticipation of
all early adoption of the new force. Ey-
perts representing the WILLARD roads,
and perhaps others, have recently Wis
tied many of the large manufactures OF
electric motors. and became impressed
with the feasibility of the scheme. Mr..
AINsL1E, the general manager of the
Wisconsin Central, is confident that
less than two years will see trains
on his road run by electric
ity. The chief engineer of The
Northern Pacific is cautious in his ey-
presSiOnS, but sees no reason why loco
motives may rot be operated in this
way, particularly where the grades are
not heavy. Both of these gentlemen have
been among the visitors to the sources
of information in electrical develop
ment. and AINsLIE expresses the opin-
ion that there are great surprises i'm
store for the public in this connection.
The electric companies have made far
more progress than is generally sup
posed in perfecting the processes fer
this larger application of the force to
railroad uses. The great success that
has attended its use on street car
lines and the sudden revolution it has
wrought in expedition and economy
have been influential in directing atten-
ton to the possibilities in the more
extended arena. There may be an ey-
cess of enthusiasm i'll some quarters. 1t
may be that the electric railroad from
Milwaukee to the worlds fair may not
reach the lower lake town in time to
see much of the exhibition, even if
time is about annihilated. Yet. it is
not to be doubted, in view of what has
been effected, that electric force Is to
be the motive agency of the future. 1t
Is matter of detail and perfection
of contributing factors. Railroad trains
will be operated by it, and still more
rapidly will it be made to transmit the

A SPECIAL SESSION.

The governor of South Dakota has
cOnditlOnaliy acQuieSced in the call OIL
him to convene the legislature to make
an appropriation for the worlds fair.
That is, he has sent circulars to the
members asking pledges that they will
vote for sufficient appropriation and
attempt no other business, and on re-
ceiying favorable responses from a ma
Jorlty he will call them together. When
the legislature was i'm session the MEN,
bers did not know that big crops were
to be raised, and that the divorce in
dustry was to swell the material pros
perity this year. They quibbled and
hesitated, and finally failed to make
any provision for representation at Chi
cago, except such as commission could
effect without money. This commits
sion has been trying the private sub
scliptiOn method with very unsatisfac-
tory results. An early session OF the
Legislature is probably the only way to
insure any credItable representation.
If the governor were not an officeseeker,
he would not be so tinid in the mat
ter. He has aspirations to go On new
reyelS among official leeks and make
pretty steady business of it. The
Sioux Falls press insists that there is
not time for the working out of his slow
plan, but he should getthe Endorsement
ofthe committees of all the parties and
go ahead. The time is certainly short
enough if there are to be special crops
grown for the exhibit The state can
not well afford to be without fair indi-
cation of its resources and attractions.

INGALLS, ON THE NAVY.

Ex-senator ingalls, is determined to
keep himself fresh in the minds of the
people. His latest sensational move
was made this week. when he put him
self on record against navieS and stand
ing armies. Mr.. ingalls, is to be admired
in spine of his eccentric notions

The lesson that Mr.. ingalls, does not
draw from the facts is plain to every
body else. if our government is to be

the most powerful in the world, to re-
press the evidences of disrespect toward
us.-New York Commercial Advertiser.

that there is no necessity for this coun-

inal view that navy is simply means
of getting into trouble. MIR. ingalls,
should not seek to deprive this great

ments. There is no telling when we
may need them. The senators and rep
resentativeS often get states and even
the whole government into trouble, but
no one thinks of dispensing with them.

BoMPE,s CHAPTER THIRD

Senator HOMPE continues his fire on
the Sage of Ninipger. and in his third
letter, published in today's GLOBE, has
probably touched his opponent in sew
eral very tender spots. One of these is
the confirmation of Col. w. Nj. LIGGETT
as railroad commissioner. During the
past few years Mr.. DoNNELLY has not
failed to berate the railroad comission-
erS at every turn for their lax admins
tration of the laws; but when the mat
ter OF the confirmation of Mr.. LIGGETT
came up in the senate, he not only
voted for his confirmation, but also made
strong plea in his behalf. His fellow
Alliance senators were all arrayed on
the other side, and were greatly disap-
pointed at his position OIL this question.
The other point made by the Otter
Tail senator the Sage. may be able to ex-
plain quite easily. This is his vote on
the Duluth Il Winnipeg bill. Senator
DONNELLY did not vote for this bill.
He voted to suspend the rules to con-
slider the matter, but many others op-
posed to the measure did the same. The
popularity of Senator STOCKTON, of
Rice county. led many senators to vote
to suspend the rules. This was a per-
sonal matter, and had the measure came
up for final passage, at least one-half of
the senators who voted to suspend the
rules would have voted against the
bill. Senator DoNNELLY is entitled to
this statement, although he has seldom
been willing to accord the same courtesy
to his opponents.
