An Ex-Democrat Talks.

Speaking about foreigners not un-
derstanding our institutions, l had a
conversation with a foreign born
citizen few days ago, and from
what he said l am led to believe
they understand them better than
many native born citizens, for they
have personal knowledge of both
sides. This is the way he impaired
some information which struck
home. He said / am a foreign born
citizen and black Republican, you
are a native born American and a
Democrat. Economy IN Europe is
the ruleall over with the people.
They must practise it. For instance
the rich who cannot wear a suit of
clothes very long, sell them to the
Israelites as second hand, then they
are sold again and so go on through
the same process until they reach
the pauper class, and by the time
they get through them they are q
mass Of rags, they are then made up
into shoddy cloth and the Democrats
in this country backed by importers
money yell free trade, and you have
seen during the last administration
how these shoddy goods, the refuse
of foreign paupers, are dumped on
our markets. There is an excuse for
a foreign born citizen to be Demo-
crat for he may have some lingering
affection for relatives and friends on
the other side, but can hardly un-
derstand why a native born Ameri-
can should be, and why they will al
low themselves to be controlled and
led, to uphold a party which advo-
Gates principles directly in conflict
with their own interests and wei.
fare. We hear on every side,
keep out the foreign paupers. L
am i'm favor of that too, but L am
also opposed to being compelled to
wear these rags by having free trade
and so forcing our people to buy
them because they cannot earn
money to buy good American made
goods. The logic seemed so clear that

Sevill Schofield, Sr, one of the
best known manufacturers of
Manayunk, Pa, has written letter
to be presen ted to the United States
Senate, in favor of restoring the
duty ON rags, in which he says
"There are about 27O, 100000 pounds
of unsecured wool grown in the
United States annually. Assume
this wool loses so per cent in scour-
ing, we will have 1876, OO0,0 pounds
of secured wool, which is made into
goods of various kinds.
"There are also from 100000 to
1900, 900 bales of cotton grown an
nually in the United States, one-half
of which is probably exported, thus
leaving at least 1000, 600 bales that
are used here. OF this about three
fourths are worn out and go into
rags and waste in various stages
This will show the percentage of
woolen and cotton rags collected,
which is about per cent. of woolen
and SO percent. of cotton rags.
"There are no less than rs, ,00C
persons employed in New York and
Pennsylvania alone in the rag gath
ering and sorting business.
"The collecting OF cotton rags was
lost in this country under the Nc
Kinley bill ON account of the large
importations from Europe, they
being admitted free of duty, but
when woolen rags were made free
under the Wilson bill it killed the
rag altering business, for the rea-
son that it did not pay the gatherers
or dealers to handle them. | would
recommend a duty of one cent a
pound ON all unsorted rags, and two
cents a pound for sorted rags. In a
letter from Alexander Murphy &
Co., Custom House brokers, it is
shown that in 1862, when there was
a duty on rags, 5,771,SO1 pounls
were imported, and that in 1868
when rags were admitted free, 81.
304, 441 pounds of rags were i'm
ported"
Mr.. Schofeld quoted from letter
written by William F. Dixon, il
which he said: "The free importa-
tion of rags has thrown out of EN-
ployment about 200,O00 persons il
this country. A duty of one-half cen
per pound on mixed and one cent OF
assorted rags would result in put
ting that many men and women t.
work.

Farmers to Be Boyootted.

And now the brewers of New
York propose to retaliate Oh the
farmers of that State whom they
hold responsible for the Raines law
stringent amendments, by shutting
out New York cheese and cucum-
bers from the free lunches. Hops,
which are largely grown in that
State, are also on their list. A man
can drink other things, however, be-
sides beer, and he can also get along
without cheese and pickles. A nice
wine such as is made in New York
State is a goM healthful and cheap
drink for those who think they must
have something of the kind. 1t
