TBE TBSTIRVNY OF A mKCHCAniC. When President Arthur ; jyisited the Yellowstone Park, as it is called, although it is twice as large as this eounty, his guide' was Henry Rich ards. He is brass moulder of Phila- lia . originally. He is now, in Ne York, and the. World has ; been interviewing him. - His opportunities have oeen gooo to mow wnac sorv -i of a "boss". Jim Blaine is and he is thus reported as saying:-5 - Ih Pennsylvania and in parts of Vir ginia Mr. Blaine, the Republican candidate for President has a large interest in coal and iron mines and railroads that run through the country in which those mines are located. Steve Elkins, the manager of his campaign, is associated with him in nearly all hia speculative enterprises. They tun their properties on the principle, 'No Irishman or intelligent mechanic need apply for employment'- ; vvo; -.-:.i?-';;. f" - "lieing asKed nia ; meaning, ne repuea simply this. In the mines that Blaine and Elkins control, whether, in Virginia' or Pennsylvania,- the laborers are almost slaves. An Irishman cannot get employ ment A skilled mechanic will not be given work. There is a pronounced prejudice against the Irish, and I believe that that prejudice comes from Blaine personally." p .This is the testimony of a well in formed mechanic He knows whereof he testifies for he has . lived nnst where, the information was to be ob? tained. " There is not in the' history of parties a' greater barefaced hypor critical game than that now being at tempted by the Republican managers and 'their man -Blaine, ne j must surely be a very stupid fellow ; that Can be fooled by the trick. - THE TB1DE OF TWO GBEAT COON : TRIES CONTRASTED. . i:. i" The trade of this country has been f . , -i,.af.. ?n Li at a very low eoo- anu is blui eu. Manufactures have suffered greatly and strikes are very common. Yes1- terdav's Stab , reported . troubles among the miners of Pennsylvania, arid the ordering out of the militia. J - -f . r In Iowa similar trouble! exist! and also in Ohio. In New England tbe mills are in distress .and scores are' closed or are working on half time. There is a shortness of trade through out the world at this time. There is too much production for the : world's consumption both of food and manu f aetures. Improved machinery has enabled man to produce far. more rapidly than the inhabitants increase. i But mark yony whilfe there is exces give competition in all, countries and too much production, it is a fact that the highly protected countries are anfferinff much more than those coon tries that arc not cursed arid afflicted with a High Chinese 'Protection Wall. Mr. David A. Wells, an able American writer On the? Tariff, in an excellent but brief discussion of that subject in the North American' Ite yiev) for September, points out -...that the commercial disturbances at this time "have been least in the tries ciai pohcy, as England, Belgium and Switzerland, and snreatesi in mose I " T . . - , . t- that have by legislation unnaturally stimulated production on ' the' 6ne hand and restricted markets on the other as" has been the case in the United States,France an4 Germanyif Whilst the financial and industrial system of the United States has been - about convulsed since - early in 1883, the condition of England, , that- is nearest to Free Trade, has been ia Vast deal better. Mr. Wells says : j "Her mills are not idle? her workmen, as A general thing, have had ready employ-; ment at steadily advancing' wages; and the' demand - and consumption of those com modities which most conduce to the good subsistence and comfort of the people vere never to great in Great Britain at at pretr ent." . , , ' 'Jl Jv efls.goetinto.,. figuresHo J show that this' is po.
