Tha New York Butcnerr Associa tion has been lnvstlatlng the per plexing Question of the tariff, and has round out mat xne ony tnrk. nonitrv. ecsra and thing's has increased tie cost of living and Is Had ther made a little deeper In sa ansir1 in iiirusiim uu uicii au' vestigation they would have ascer tained that there is ven a more onerous duty on dressed, meats; but that Is a circumstance tney ao not -care io..ieu in v AakAinn as it is for their nrotection. , and thus again Is vindicated the true Every man is a free trader when ne comes to nuy ana m prumuouw when he offers to sell."

America that is, urban America no longer enjoys .... - .-LI. that advantage. Why? Because we tax foods to the quick and have free trade in appetite. I mean that, while we have prohibitory tariffs on nearly everything of which breakfast, dinner and supper are composed, we allow annually 1.250,000 Immigrants to come to our shore with lusty appe tites to help boost the price of food, and this very moment meat is cheaper In England .than it Is In the United States. .' r - -; f, -; - Now I nave no objection to immi gration.; would welcome every for eigner of Caucasian blood with a character and a muscle. for work; or a character and a brain for thought But I think we are getting them a little too fart, and are a little careless in our scrutiny of those who come. Bight Tier 1 hop I wilt be pardoned for a piece opinion. When we ad mit free -of tax a bale of goods made abroad we put soma American artisan of farmer to work making something to' exchange for It, but when we ad mit the foreigner himself he takes the place of some American work man. . ; We have established a tin plate industry upon that very prin ciple. It has mad soma Pittsburg millionaires, of whom w sometimes .read in the newspapers that chronicle scandal and crime, but it has brought tens of thousand of aliens to com pete with domestlo labor. It was done In the nam of tho farmer, as though b cared., whetb hts pro ducts were consumed in Pennsylvania or In Wales. To amplify:" The tariff is -on the product. That is the property of capital. Ther i free trad in labor, and yet the knaves tell, and the fools believe, that th tariff is for labor. Xf ther wss as big a tariff on Im ported labor as there is on imported We -are making great preparations to celebrate the Fourth of July in a manner entirely in keepJhgwith the spirit of the day. . In addition to the great preparations we are making in the hotel for the occasion there are many events scheduled, all of which will go to make f or Morehead the greatest celebration on July 4th in its history.

In addition the outrageous robbery perptratd In the fish schedule of the Dingley tariff Is in practice a positive proteo tlon of the meat trust, for if Canada fish is excluded it makes mora horn market for Chicago mat. The rob ber duties on eggs and cheese in the same .way swell the ill-got gains ot th meat trust. But tha worst of It is that it makes living dearer, and cheap living is the foundation or all real ' prosperity. Last, year England Imported from Australia l00.0uu.ouo dressea raDoits, free of duty. Sh took meats, flsh, poultry, game, eggs, cheese, butter, fruits, and everything else, for the dining table, except tea, coffee, and wines, from all th world free of duty. , The beef trust, the poultry trust, th ski trust, the fruit trust could not live five , minutes, in Eng land., but' here these octopuses lay tribute every, day on,, every urban ..'.'.-. , .... ' Mere ar both parties on their heads chasing th railroad octopus that has .done ten thousand times as much good as It ever did harm, whll they leave in perfect security the tariff octopus that has done ten thou sand times more harm than - it has good, and Mr. Bryan, tee master ot the opposition party, tells as that the tariff must by no means be mad paramount, and that the chase of th railroad octopua is Just begun. " There was a time when England had protection run mad- Edward III,- greatest of th Plantagenets, hanged those of -his subjects he Caught exporting ? raw, wool, and every reader of Blackstnn will tell you how It was the law that th dead should be burled in woolen.' So out rageous were the oppressions of the tariff that - by th dawn of th eighteenth century it was honorable to be a amuggler, ' and : he was tho proudest Englishman who drank wine that never paid the King tribute, I believe that it wa in 1785 that there rose a diplomat. In England-! on Eden mark the name who set on foot a reciprocity treaty with France. It was nearly accomplished 'when the revolution and th succeeding Napo leon ta wars postponed the thing for half a century.

And all thee times th "balance of trade," the blessed, th. precious balance of trade, has been adverse to England, yet ah persists in - grow ing ' richer and stronger Instead of weaker and poorer. Mr. John Dalzell wilt prove to you by rule and dum- met that an adverse balance of trade I ruin that to live th country must export more than It Imports, other wise bankruptcy Inevitably follows. !
