The U. s. Consul at Tunstall. Eng
land. sends q Dispatch to the Baltimore
Sun. In order to show that the condi-
tion OF the working people In England
Is as good, II not better. than the con-
dltlon of the working people in this
country. The rate OF wages paid is not
quoted. but the cost OF food and
Is quoted. and the as
sertion Is made that anyone who
says that the English Misunderstanding
Operative does not get as good food
ns his American fellow-laborer, is
guilty Of an unblushlng ialsehood."
Now, II the wages paid in England
are as good as they arein our country,
and food and clothing cheaper. we
should like to know why SO many
IEngiishmsu, Irlshmen. Italians and
other foreigners come to our country?
Why do they not stop in England, and
save the expense of = voyage across
the ocean? Besides, why do not our
working people go to that favores
country to better their condition?
The truth Is the Consul has made
mistake, he has bssn deceived aut
imposed upon, or he wishes to i'm
pose on others. The working people
lof our country have prospered be
yond ANY other on the face OF The
earth. and the fact that men Of al
nations como to 1t In droves to bette
their condition Is proof positive O
this declaration.
Nen. like the Consul and his fro,
trads friends, who are blinded by their
THEORIES. Eavs brought the laborsrs OF
our country to their present condi
tion, but in short time they will b;
+, driven from place in power, when the
protective system will be put in opera
ton. and our people be given employ
nent and such wages as will restor
them to their former prosperity. Til
