BRITAIN WANTS THEM T WIN Tngland Anxions for Democratic Victory and the Advent of Fres Trade. TOUCHED TO THE QUICK BY M'KINLEY BILL Trotection Justified by the Evidence of the Enemy—Unpreeedented Depression in English Industries - Facts and Fignres for Voters, Couxert, Brures, Ta, Sept. 17.—To the Kaditor of Tue Bre: During the canpaign of 1888, although I was then spoaking for the republicans in New York, I dia not heiieve that Boglana was seriously interested in our elactions, and I often feit chagrined when I would hear sprakers, as I then believed, try to rouse an audience by gquoting English sontiment. I thought it was a kind of inzoism wharaby the pohitiesian hoped to work up the passions of thoe Irish-Americans and securo a few votes. I verlly believed the democratic slur that we were erecting a bogr-maa s a kind of a scarecrow whereby to frighten voters of the other party into But it was my fortune to ve gland from March 20 to August 17, 180 After I had been there a few weeks and had observed the intense bitter- ness there agalust evergthing in the United States excent Mr. Cleveland, ana had begun to comprehond to what an immense extent England’s wolfare depended upon the size of her foreign market, and had learned that our market was the largest market in England’s reach. and that if she were shut out. of our market it moant starvation or at loast change of ocoupation to thousands and thousands of Eogland’s people, 1 was compelled to confess that tho baif had not been told. And I am ®ure that could each individual aemocrat have the experience which I had during my four months’ sojourn in England, and read the numberless scornful sneers, that appear daily, at everything American, and read the constant aaily prayers for domocratio success aad consequent free trade in our land, I am sure that thero would not be one hundred democratic votes cast for Mr. Cleveland on November 8. Simple patriotism would force them to voto for the Stars and Stripes in- stead of for the Union Jack, ~ The daily evidence that Mr. Cleveland, either consciously or unconsciously, 1s a mera pupvet of England is multitudinous and overwhelming. 1 offer merely n few of the most bluntly expressed. The first 1s from a ver old and influential journal, the Colliery rdian, the organ of the British coal and iron trades, of July 29, 1802, and demonstrates wery forcibly that’ by protection and recipro- city the United States is shutting England out, not on from the United States mar- kets, but from the markets of the whole ~world: Justified by Evidence of the Enemy.

Happy Over the Homestead Trouble, The unfortunate Homestead affair and the troubles in Wailace, Idaho, were hailed in England with shouts of glee and clappings of joy. because these events would help the democrats. O the numborless editorials of this character 1 shall give but one. The National Observer, a tory organ pub- lished by a clique of young aristocrats, of date of July 16, 1502, says: To such as know that in America from the crown of the head to the sole of the foot the state has no soundnes but only putridity nts us the triumph of domoc oon by the triu Tdaho, offer no n The conter of these events is in the land of democ aintain even a ho police being under ontrol of popularly appointed officials, dependent upon the WOr<ing cluss vote, may not be used to reduce the populace to sub- ssion_except in So far as thelr mission imes with the opinions of the enfranchised abble. * * % For democracy is only tho polite term for the triumph of disorder. L congratulate Mr. Cleveland that this samo paper said on June 25: “It mav bo said, however, tnat the chances for the demoocrats aro most' promising.” Vincent’s View of the Situation. Alter the gemocratic convention in Chi- cago there were from various quarters in Sogland expressions of the hope that the United States woald soon adopt, the policy of free trade. Whereupon Colonel Howard Vin-, cent, M. P. for the Central division of Snef field, attempts to dispel such delusion by tho following forcible letter to the Times. ~Col- onel Vincent is the moving spirit in the Im- perial Federated Empire Trade leaguo, which s composed of about 5,000 of the leading men of the British empire, 500 of whom are mem- bors of the various parliaments or legislative bodies of the same. This league is exactly the opposite of the Cobden club and has for 1ts object the return of the British empire to a protective policy. He says: “A late oficial report [United States sen- ate report on McKinley biil] shows that in oighteen montus 127 new factories have been ovened in the United States and fifty-three factories expanded: four Enuglish textile firms bave moved their works either in whole or 1n part from England to the United States and many skilled hands have emi- grated; with such results, attended with the notable increase in the United States export trade, contrasted with the continuous de- cline of British exports topoling heels over head, and the daily record of diminishing employment for oglish, Welsh and Scotch workmen, the hope is small for an early reduction in American tarifis,” **But relief may come if the republican government 18 overinrown in the presidential election.” Republican Defeat, England's Hope. The Bankers Magazine of London for July shows that the dividends of almost every bank in the United Kingdom have been reduced during the past year by stag- uatior. in all kiuds of industry and trage. A London bauker told me that 1t would be worth £50,000,000 sterling (§250,000,000) per vear to England 1f Mr. Cleveland's free trade party sbould suceoed ir: the United States. 1 attended the Congress of the Chambers of Commerce 1 London, June 5 to July 1. This was a meeting of the Chambers of Com- merce of about 100 of the largest cities of the British empire; 1n fact a cougress of British merchant princes. There were sixtee: b- jects put upon the program for discussion, Tke firstof these was the McKinley bill under the high-sounding titleof *‘Recent Commercial Legislation in the United States,” For two aud ahalf days the mer- chant princes of Great Britain debated the McKinloy bill, while the other fifteen suo- jocts were disposed of in & day aund a half. That1s to say, that in the opinion of the merchant princes of Great Britain the Mc- Kinley bill was thirty times as important as any imperial subject. And upon the final vote thirty-four Chambers of Commerce were in favor of Great Britain adopting u protective policy modeled upon the protec- tivo policy of the United States, while forty- seven Cbambers of Commerce were opposed thereto und in favor of continuing her free trado policy. Justa little more education from Uncle Sam and Britannia will become & protective country. Whut Demoeratic Victory Would Entail. T'o conclude, it is my annv;cuan that every editor, business man, financier and states map in Bogland believes most irmly that th election of Mr. Cieveland in the Unitea States would bring about in Euvgland a gon- eral revival of business aud an increased acuvity in every avenue of English trade or tinance. Old factories would reopen, new factories would be built, aad thousands of lacos now closed to woricmen would again e opened. This is why the careful Statist say “Our own | Eny nmolectlauu are peruaps & reason for delay, but nothing more. How- over they end, they will not lead to material change. The elections in the United States, itis vrue, involve graver issues [to Eng. land|; in other words, whether Lhat coun- try is to maintain the present high prowective customs and whether it is to persist in the purchuse of silver, These are botu matters that closely touch the business communily fof Englaud|.” As England and the United States are both tighting for the same markets, if the ex pected general revival in Buglish industy takes place just as surely will & general do- pression in'the commoroe and industy of the United States follow.

At the meot- 1ng of the Central Trafic association lnos this week Vice President Donald was in- structed 1o take immodiate ataps to securo the withdrawal of the irrezular round trip | fares to Boston, Albany and New York. At Mr. Donald’s request the New York Central, the West Store and the New York, Ontario & Western have all agreed that thoy will not honor or recognize the cut rate tickots of the Soo hne.

Starrett is a man of wide and manifold experience. **Once,” remarked Sterrett, ‘“‘when I was in Dallas I was getting out a paper— literaily getting it out at that.

Ono day, however, trouble struck me. It was Saturd: night—the prints urday night—and my four men were nresent with their strings and I was busy dividing among them the product ot *a full hand’ and three ‘flushes’ which had fallen to me the night before.

For four- days the strike continued and raged unabated. Lvery one ol us had asplendid Texas time, but at last Jim and the printers began to falter.
