consent or aid" of those to whom they sell
their produce? About what would be the
condition of the American farmer if for
elgn buyers of their products should re-
fuse to give their consent" to trade with
planter who is crying for Bryan and Wat
son mad e grain of common-sense he
would know that the policy of not waiting
lor the consent or aid of any other nation
on earth" means the reduction of his cot
ton acreage by fully two-thilds.
Now, what the Republican party is aim
ing to do is first to protect our own indus
tries to the end that they may convert all
they can OF American raw material into
merchantable articles. In doing that they
would give employment at good wages to
hundreos OF thousands of working people,
who would in turn furnish a demand for
the farmers provisions, breadstuffs, vege-
tables and the like. But that would not
take all the products of the American
farms; besides, very many of the goods
and wares of our mills and factories would
have demand in foreign markets, and so
our trade relations with other countries
would be enlarged.
Inc Republican party, instead OF DEFY
ing other countries, would secure their
consent and aid'' to not only establish
close trade relations with US, but arrange
mutual monetary system so that silver
might be added to gold as money to settle
trade balances and liquidate bills payable.
Bryan says he does not want the consent
or AID OF any other nation on earth" to
find markets abroad for our farm products
or for our goods and wares, nor in arrang-
ing an international monetary system.
The difference between the purpose of the
parties is clear and Distinct.

day we import butter 20 the value
of f13, 500, 600, and bacon TO tie val
ne of nearly 411, 900, 600. Ireland is
being slowly driven out of the mar
ket by improvements in the quality
of continental butter, duo to the use
of better machinery, and, in the quail
ity of bacon, pigs. due to the intro
duction On the continent of new
breeds and more rational system
of pig feeding AS regards eggs,
foreign countries have pretty much
their own way. Our continental egg
bill is not much short OF $4,000, GOO
yearly, the whole of which might
be spent in Ireland if better breeds
of poultry were introduced, if labor
ers wives were taught how to rear
and keep them, and if the eggs could
be brought to market in better con-
dition.
A further gain to Irish agrlcul-
ture would be the substitution Of q
dead for a live meat trade. To carry
living cattle from ireland to Eng
land is wasteful and cruel expedi-
emf. To send over the same beasts
dead would save the loss of value IN

tries connected with their slaughter
and revive the Irish leather trade
