PROPHETIC WORDS.
The Remarkable Prophecy of Mr.. Blaine
Uttered in 1890, is Fulfilled.

Ihe remarkable PROPHECY OF MI. Blaine,
Uttered in 1890, is Fulfilled.
Il love my country and my country
men. | am an American and rejoice
every day of my life that l am. / enjoy
the general prosperity of my country and
know that the workingmen of this coun-
try are the best paid, best fed and best
clothed laborers on earth. Many of them
have homes of their own They are sur
rounded by all the comforts and many of
the luXuries of life. | shudder, however.
at the thought that the time must come
when all this must be changed. When the
general prosperity of this country must
be destroyed When the great body of
Workingmen in this land who are now so
prosperous will hear their wives and chill
dren cry for bread; that the day must
ufactories of this land will be shut down,
and where there is now life and activity
there will be the silence of the tomb.
And the reason why this must be done is
this: The great Southern wing Of the
Democratic party are determined to eS-
tabliSh the doctrine of free trade in this
land They will be assisted by their
Northern allies The fight is now on.
There is a great body of visionary but
educated men who are employed day by
day in writing free-trade essays and az
guments in favor of that doctrine. which
find their way into every Democratic
newspaper III this land. This great body
of our people have never experienced,
themselves, the sufferings which always
result when the protective principles are
laid aside. Poisoned and excited by the
wild statements of these writer's and the
demagogic appeals of Democratic speak
ers, the result will be that in the very
near future these forces which are now
working will be strong enough to defeat
at the polls the party advocating protec-
ton. 1t must inevitably follow that un-
certainty and doubt will ensue. The bust
ness men of the country, fearing the de-
struction. will decline to engage in bust
ness, consequently mills will shut down
and the workingmen be thrown out of
employment. The people will then see, as
we have never seen before, that they can
not be prosperous and have work while
this is threatened. In the midst of this suf-
fering they will learn that the only way
to be prosperous is to vote for the party
that has built up the industries by which
they have gained a livelihood, because
they will then see clearly that when the
mandatory is shut down there is no de-
mand for the only thing they have to sell,
and that is their labor

UPHAM AND WORKINGMEN.
Some Interesting Facts Concerning the

and Its Employees.

Upham Manufa curing Company
and Its Employees.
Of ali the corporations or firms in this
state which extensively employ working
men, none have been more fortunate in
avoiding trouble with their employees than
the Upham Manufacturing company at
Marshfield The leading spirit Of that
large firm is Maj. Upham, after whom
the works have been named. Ever since
1879, when the company was established,
it has given employment to hundreds of
men; and at the present time some 400
men are employed in the works.
In all the manufacturing institutions in
the state, or even in the West, not one
can be found in which there has been less
friction between the employees and the
company, or less cause for complaint,
than in the Upham shops at Marshfield
Maj. William II. Upham, Republican can
didate for governor, is president of the
company. So uniformly wise and cOnsid-
crate has he been of the welfare of his
men that there has never been a strike
at the Upham works. There have never
been mutterings of even discomfort in re-
gard to the amount of wages paid, or

THE LUMBER QUESTION.
How the New Tariff Law Will Effect tn
Lumber Interest.


Lumber Interest.
The Crescent, criticising the Stevens
Point Journal for advising the people to
repudiate Barnes for his having voted
to place lumber on the free list, INDUCES
in this childish analysis of the problem:
The Eighth Congressional district now con-
tainS Il population of at least 2O0,OO0. Not
to exceed one thousand is engaged In lum-
bering. The Journal and its candidate for
Congress would tax the $4,000 on
every board or bunch of shingles they buy
to enrich the 1000. No; to enrich not to ex-
the workingmens wages when they got a
tariff placed on foreign lumber? Not dol
l2r per month! Not cent. They paid just
according to the supply of labor; that regu-
lated the price.
If there was any truth in the state
ments here made Mr.. Barnes would be
entitled to the kindly consideration of
his constituents for having, accidentally,
or otherwise, Numbered into one official
act commensurate to the public needs.
Under the Mckinley act logs were adj
mitted into this country free of duty.
Lumber was protected. As cOnse-
uuence those engaged in the manufacture
of lumber along the line OF our frontier
invested in Canadian stumpage, cut their
logs over there and brought them to this
side to be sawed BY this arrangement
American labor was employed and pros
porous cities and towns built up. AS an
evidence of this we can begin at Bur
lington, VT, and travel northward to the
limits of our possessions, through pros
porous and picturesque municipalities
that had their origin and growth in the
lumber trade For years all of these
places have secured their supplies of logs
from Canada Under the free-trade leg
islation of the present Democratic Con-
gress this system of doing business will
be entirely changed. Lumber firms will
now build their mills in the forests of
Canada, employ Canadian lsbor and
build up Canadian cities in place of con
filming their operations and expanding

The New York Advertiser presents
some cold facts for the consideration of
Chairman Wilson, who framed, in most
part, the present tariff law:
The United States and Great Britain
are the chief commercial rivals of the
world. Sharing alike the World-conquer-
ing Anglo-SaXon blood, and advancing
side by side in the great march Of prog
reSS, still they are i'll many respects eX-
act oppositeS in national conditions and
policies. England seated on her snug
little isle" reaches out with her mighty
navy to the utttermost ends of the earth,
and plays her hand in the great game of
nations.
There is no continent where her flag
does not float, no sea that does not bear
her commerce. and no harbor where her
drum beat is not heard
The policy of the United States ever
since the days of Washington has been
colonial policy. While England has
spread herself over the world the Ameri-
can people has devoted itself to building
up America.
The result has been that today we
may claim, without Boosting. the leading
place among the nations-hrst in natural
resources, first in agricultural, first i'll
mining, first in manufactures, and first
in domestic commerce. We have rail
roads sufficient to girdle the world more
than seven times. We have increased in
population. i'll wealth, in manufactures,
and in the distribution of wealth more
rapidly than any other nation on the
globe or that ever existed. 1t has not
been our policy to reach out and spread
ourselves over the whole world, but rath
err to make America the best and richest.
country in the world, with the most in
telligent, most comfortable and most en-
terprising people.
And this is what we have done, not
withstanding Europe has been sending
to us in the last forty-tive years 10000
900 of her poorest and least intelligent
population.
In 1891 the United Kingdom, includ-
ing the adjacent islands, had a population
of 3S 100000. In 1890 the United States
had 81. 622 900. Today we have beyond
doubt not less than 67,000,000 When
the question is raised as to the compare

need only to consult the tables of immi-

. . . ".
In other words, it appears that in the
period named more than six and a quar-
ter millions of people have been so attract
ed by the better conditions of the people
of the United States that they have
deemed it worth the sacrifice to exile
themselves from the home of their nativi-
ty, from the scenes and companions Of
childhood and youth and from all the
associations of their ancestors and the
graves of their sires to make a home in
this New World in land of strangers.
And they go not back again They be
come the patriotic bone and sinew of this
great commonwealth. And no wonder.
We think we have hard times in this
country this year, and yet it is prosperi-
ty itself compared with the permanent
conditions of life in the United Kingdom.
Apply the test to pauperism. There was
expended for the relief of paupers in the
United Kingdom in 1892 910,711,15S; in

From this 1t appears In 1893 there were
in the United Kingdom the astounding
number of 966,323 public paupers out of
an aggregate population of $4,000, 900.
And these are only the registered paupers,
exclusive of Migrants and the casual

Turn now to the United States, that
''protection-robbed, 'tax-ridden,' God
forsaken land of 'robber barons," to

The work of the Legislative

The Work of the Legislative Session.
Readers of The Phoenix have been kept
informed of the work of the legislative
session of 1894 in an unusually careful
and Intelligent manner. What has been
the net result of this work is told in the
| condensed summary of the more important
| public acts passed which is printed else
where. In some respects the work of the
session has been fully as important in what
was defeated as in what was enacted. 1t
ought to be cause for satisfaction to every
true and broad-minded friend of our pub
lie schools that the movement to permit
towns to 60 back to the district system was
defeated. The law of 1892 may not be the
best possible, but it certainly should have
fair trial before big hole is broken in
it. The bill providing for free textbooks
is right in its general principle, but wheth-
er it is better that each town should pro-
vide Its own books or that they should be
the property of the state remains to be
proved. 1t is also well that no essential
change was made in the secret ballot law
ingham, of between 1000 and 5000 popula-
tion, will be allowed to choose whether
they shall use the secret ballot or vote by
the old manner in town and village cleo
tions. 1t is undoubtedly a step in advance
that hereafter the five per cent state road tax
is to be used for permanent Improvements
and not for the annual patching up. The
bill to prevent the spread of tuberculosis,
as enacted, seems to MS not so effect
i've measure as was the Brattleboro bill
introduced by Mr.. Hines, but it is at least
beginning in the right direction in a mat
ter which vitality concerns the health of
every community.
Whether the appropriation of S150,000
to complete the state asylum at Waterbury
will prove to be such means of economy
as the friends Of this movement claimed for
! it is a question which time must prove. 1t
is safe to say that this will not be the end
of the appropriations which will be re-
| quired, and that, at the best, it will be
many years before state institution can
be built up which will have anything like
the abundant appliances and opportunities
for outdoor employment, diversion and rec
reation which the Brattleboro Retreat pos
sesses in a degree not equalled by any 9th
er institution in this country. For The
home institution, however, the gain will be
made of enabling it to become in the enc
an institution for the treatment of private
patients, and allowing a selection of its in
mates, which is not now possible,
There is little doubt that the agitation
begun by Gov. Fuller with regard to th'
state of things at the house of correction
and the cost of commitments to that insti
tuition will prove to have borne very gooC
fruit in the legislation on that subject whicl
| has been enacted.
