AN ECHO FROM sALIsBURY's spEEo,

Lord Salisbury's recent discussion of
fair trade versus free trade is.awakening
echoes in half the industries of England.
Take the following paragraph for exam
pie from the Macclesfeld Courier and
Herald, bearing in mind that Maccles-
field is an important centre Of silk weav-
ing in Great Britain, and that under
present conditions, weavers' wages are
declining in England with sad steadi-
ness:
50 In the supplement issued with to-
days Courier will be found most apro-
pos extract from the American SIX
Journal contrasting the average weekly
wages of silk weavers in Protective Pat
erson as against those in so-called Free
Trade Macclesfield. This pointed con-
trast may well give onr working popu-
lation food for thought, and cause them
to make up their minds with Lord Sails
bury and Mr.. Bromley Davenport, M.
p, and other Unionist members, that it
is high time some measure of fair
trade was passed if they would prevent
the rapidly declining trade of the present
system. The American paper is holding
up Macclesfeld as warning to their
own legislators, and the article con-
cludes thus American silk weavers
earn at the lowest estimate from three
to six times as much per week as silk
weavers can earn in England. At Mac
clesfield wages have fallen off 80 per
cent. since 1860. The English silk in
dusty, which in 1860 gave employ
ment to 100000 people to-day
supports 100000 people, We appeal
to the weavers of Macclesfeld and
Congleton not to be misled by the
claptrap of Radical agitators, who are
too well paid to know or care how the
poor weaver can exist and bring mp a
family on decreasing wages and reduced
trade. Lord Salisbury has promised,
and the hon. member for the division
has long been in favor Of, a measure of
fair trade, which to us in Macclesfeld
would mean revival of our trade and
prosperity. In such circumstances the
Unionist member and the Unionist gov
eminent should receive the support of
every weaver"
The election is over and tho Irish
question has outweighed English ques-
tions and the grand old man has tri.
umphed gloriously. Nevertheless this
fact is significant as a sign Of the times.
Every conservative who made a direct
appeal at the hustings for election on
the fair-trads issue was returned TO
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-08-20

TIM plate liars should bring them
selves with . round turn. The habit of
prevarication in politics seems to be
making Democratic papers unreliable in
news.' Cleveland is complaining of a
Boston sheetof his own party, because
it invented tale of Mrs. Clevelands
wonderful escape from being run over by
an engine and another Of her carelesness
IN letting nurse trot Baby Ruth off to
camp meeting; and it is not many days
since the New York World had Harrison
on his journey to Loon Lake walk
across an imaginary trestle rather than
trust himself to the train. Sensational
ism In politics goes with sensationalism
in news straight facts are good enough
In both departments for straight people.
