His answer was: Eve want the Amer

Mckinley bill was law our manufac-
turers were quite paralyzed." !,
There was exported from Bradford
during the last nine months of the ex.
istence of the Mckinley law $4.47S,oOo
worth of goods. This was from January
j, 1894, to September 30, 1894. During
the corresponding period of the following
year (from January |, 1895, 70 Septem-
Der 30, 1891, under the Wilson bill,
the exports from Bradford amounted 10
81 900. Five times as much under
the Wilson bill as under the Mckinley
bill. The total exports for the year 1899
from Bradford amounted to S21, 745OOO.
These exports include thirty-seyen items,
but consist chiefly of card clothing, cot
ton goods, iron and steel, machinery,
hosiery, stuffed goods, worsted goods
Mr.. Meeker, United States consul at
Bradford, furnished me these statistics,
which were taken from his reports to the
state department.
We manufacture similar goods in
America, but on account of the Wilson
tariff bill we have been deprived of the
chance TO manufacture them, and the
money which should have been paid 70

Standing, looking lip Angel meadow,

of the worst courts in Great Britain,

a population struggling in the ocean of
moral and social degradation, it has

vile crime. drunkenness, riot, cruelty
and robbery. The houses are low and
dilapidated, and many are villainous

rocking with smells, utterly infamous
and sickening both to body and mind

ground floor of this clearinghouse is a
large room for the men to sit in. The
kitchen below contained n large closed
cooking range, which was red hot, and
the Odor Of the cooking going on made it
anything but enyiable to be in. The lodg-
ers all cook for themselves and have a
variety of things to cook and they are
not very particular as to how many diff
ferent things are cooked together in the
same pot. We went upstairs and saw
800 beds, which are let at three differ

just as it was in 1888. The keeper, or
guardian, told me this ward had been
in existence for more than thirty years
and that there were thirty such places
in London at present. These institutions
are kept as public places and are really
poorhouses. If man has no money, he
can go there and apply for admittance,
which he,gets if the place is not already
filed. When received, they are kept in
confinement for two nights and one day,

England for each person 0aken from
reports published by ParliamenD is about
$3.50 a difference in favor of America
of sos per capita. Now there are thou
sands of people in England who do not
receive one-half this $3.50. We pay our
angle iron smiths 90 per cent more than
they are paid in England; our black
smiths, 102 per cent. more; our boiler
makers, AZ per cent more; our brick
layers, 125 per cent. more; our boiler
shop helpers, 80 per cent. more; our
carpenters, 165 per cent. more; our con-
ductors ton express trains), 340 per cent.
more; our locomotive engineers, 19l per
cent. more; our police, 260 per cent.
more; our telegraph operators, 103 per
cent. more; our train dispatchers, BIG
per cent. more, and our common labor
ers, 15S per cent. more. The difference
in all classes of labor is the same as
these examples / mention.
The engineers who run the fastest ex-
press trains on the road in England get
but $10.S0 per week for ten hours per
day. The firemen get, 1922 per week or
9S cents per day. The guards (who
correspond with our conductors) get
from "a 80 to S6.72 per week. The por-
tiers 1--WE call them brakemen) get $4.56
per week This is sample of the pay
of English labor. Our engineers in
America on the express trains receive
sd so per week, our conductors S26
and our brakeman S13. We pay more
than double the wages paid in England,
where railroad fare is higher and the
coal cheaper than in America.
The following table of wages answers
all the free-trade fallacies of the Demo
cratic party and cannot be disputed:
