More News from England.

While the Fairmont Times is gath
'ering political representations from
England in its desperate efforts to
bolster up encouragement among the
Democrats, it should also gather a
few labor statistics showing how
much less the English workingman
employed in the factories that are
affected by free trade receives in
wages than the American working
man.
Certain Democratic newspapers are
always confident that conditions in
this country under free trade would
be as prosperous, or nearly so, as
they are under protection but when
ever they are asked to point out a
practical, successful working ex-
ample of the former theory, they
are compelled to dodge the issue. AS
matter of fact, the American work
ingman employed in American in
dustries that are protected against
the inroads OF the pauper labor OF
Europe, receive twice as much
money for their labor.
