BRITISH FREE-TRADE.
It is fair to presume that tbe free
trade journals of the United States
will riiake no comment on the great
labor strike in London and Liverpool
during the past week. If they were
approached on this question they
would say it is none of our affairs
what happons in England; but they
must not forget that Great Britain is
the one great free-trade country of the
world, and during the last canvass we
were so often pointed to the accumu
lated wealth of the British empii e
that we are not liable to forget the
matter easily. Even on the subject
of wages Democratic papers attempt
ed to prove that thn figures of wages
paid in England were garbled and net
stated correctly. Every time a few of
Carnegie's iron-moulders demanded a
rise in wages the fact was heralded far
and wide; but when an army of 150,
000 sons of toil parade the streets of
the world's metropolis, in a free-trade
country, there is no comment ruadr.
The facts made public by Mr. Nathan
iel McKay were attacked by almost
every Democratic paper in the coun
try, and it was said the figures were
"cooked up" for campaign purposes.
Perhaps our friends, following the doc
trines of the Cjbden club, will find it
interesting aud instructive to compare
the facta printed in the dispatches in
the last few days with this paragraph
from Mr. McKay's pamphlet:
I visited London docks at C:30 one
morning to hear the roll-call for labor
era. A thousand men were clamoring
for employment. asked one laborer
what lie got. He said Jfiid. per hour.
These are what we call 'longshoremen.
A carpenter at work on a building
near by said he was getting 9d. per
hour, and his assistant was paid 5 id.
The carpenter told me he paid 15a per
week for rent. His assistant said that
he paid 4s. 6d. for oue room and
"privileges." This carpenter added
that his wife worked when she could,
and got 2i a day. I waited until 8
o'clock to see the workmen on this
building eat their breakfast. Four of
them had banded together, made some
tea in a big kettle, and brought out
bread and butter only. "That's all for
breakfast, sir," said one. He ex
plained that they usually had meat for
dinner as late in the week as Wednes
day, because they always had enough
left over after their Sunday meal to
last till that time. From Wednesday
until the next Sunday they went with
out meat except, perhape, bacon. The
carpenter said. "I get up at 4 o'clock
' in the morning, and work from 6 un
til 6:30. When I am out of work for
three days at once there is not a farth
in? in the house, and we must live on
what niv wife earns." The foreman
of the gang had half a loaf of bread
with a hole in it about two inches
square. In that hole he had placed
some butter. That was the way he
carried it to his work. He made
some tea: most of the other workmen,
however, had a herring apiece besides
tbe bread and tea. One fellow, luck
taxing system of Henry George. The
Democratic party would stand fairer
before the people if it would rest
squarely on its platform, and not at
tempt to. evade the issue presented.
. The Republican party is in favor of
protection first, last and all the time.
Now, as lawyers say, let the Demo
crats "plead the general issue,11 and
say they are in favor of free-trade
first, last, and all the time. Then the
sovereign people will know which party
to support, oud this will be a fair test
of the sentiment of the voters of this
country.
DEMOCRATIC APPROPRIATIONS-
Tu speaking of the Water-ways
convention, now in session in Cincin-
uatti, the Chicago Inter Ocean has the
following truthful remarks regarding
the late Democratic administration
The neglect of the river and harbor
appropriations bill was one of the cry
iua sins of Mr. Cleveland's adminis
tration and of the Democratic majority
which supported it in congress. The
south and southwest, which were
most ardent among his friends, suf
fered most at the hands of the late
president. His famous message indi
cated a policy which would have
prevented the further development of
their mining and manufacturing in
dustries, and would have increased
the difficulties with which their to
bacco trade contends, and the jangles
and quarrels which his ((Torts to make
the message the inspiration of a tariff
law resulted in neglect of the yearly
bill for appropriations on behalf of
rivers and harbor."; a bill to which the
presideut himself, as one of the most
extreme partisans of those New York
ers who are as sectional as any south
erners in their notions of policy, was
never favorable at heart.
The Pacific slope has suffered very
much through the efforts of the Dem
ocratic lower bouse to cut down the
appropriations in the River and Har
bor bill, and especially is this true re
garding Oregon. The small amounts
appropriated for opening the Columbia
river has delayed the work very ma
terial'y, and has been to the. advan
tage of the railroad corporation which
contrulls the traffic of this region.
The Republican senate has been pow
erless in this regard, as the bill crigi
nates in the house, and if amended
had to be approved by its members.
To the charge of the Democratic con
at the convening, of congress more than
he who has fallen in the full glory of
his mental achievements Hon. Sam
uel Sullivan Cox.
The Times-Mountaineer continues
to call the democrats "free traders."
The Democrat has quite frequently
called upon that paper to explain
what it means by the term "free
trade." This is a perfectly legitimate
and fair question, and one no candid
man should refuse to answer, but the
Mountaineer studiously avoids the
mutter and refuses in toto to answer.
Now why this refusal? Simply because
its answer would prove its own party
to be "free-traders," or it would prove
its charge against democrats to be
false. Tbis, and this alone, is the rea
son that that paper dodges. It is not
candid about the matter. Albany
i Democrat.
We will call the Democratic party
"protectionists" if it will suit our es
teemed cotemporary better. Times
without number we have proved De
mocracy to be free-trade in all its
tendencies, and it is not necessary to
repeat the arguments. The party
declaim against the policy of Repub
licans and call it the robber-tariff, and
say it is answerable for all the evils
which has befallen the country; and it
is reasonable and logical to suppose
that Bourbons are free-traders the
opposite to the economical pol
icy of protection. Gentlemen, don't
be punctillious about this matter; but
honeftly and frankly acknowledge
that you favor the national policy of
England in preference to the Amer
ican.

claims that Behring strait is included
in the conveyance of Alaska to the
United States by the Russian govern

however, is too evident to any person
of common intelligence. Russia could
not grant what she did not possess.
Behring strait is a narrow body of
water connecting the North Pacific
ocean and the Arctic ocean. It is,
thirty-six miles wide at the narrowest
point, and in many places it widens to
the extent of 900 miles.

The resolution ia the Washington
Democratic platform demanding the
"appropriation of sufficient funds to
speedily open the Columbia river
to navigation," is the most Phari
saical, hypocritical plank ever placed
in a political code of principles. For sev
eral years past the Democratic
house has narrowed down the River
and Harbor bill to the most contracted
limits, and the Republican senate has
fought every session to have tbe
amounts in this bill increased. On two
or three occasions Senators Dolph and
Mitchell have increased the sum for
Oregon after the bill came from the
Democratic house. For nearly thir
teen years these Bourbons have made
this appropriation bill, and now, after
following for that length of time the
most niggardly policy in order to make
capital for economical administration,
to demand sufficient appropriations
to accomplish the object of internal
improvements is not only the acme
of "cheek," but is ac insult to the in
telligence of the American people.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
The Republican paper in Washing

introduction of their candidate.?.
They will continue this until after the
election, when they will introduce
themselves.
George Francis Train has an
nounced his intention of breaking his
long fast on a diet of baked beans
It is hoped this will make him esthetic
in his tastes, as the "hub" rules the
western world.
New York and Chicago an" deter
mined not to be dilatory in voicing
their claims for the exposition in 1S92.
They have commenced already, and
will keep it up for the next two or
three years.
The Democrats are in the field in
Washington, with a very fair ticket,
and the campaign can be considered
commenced. The new state is strong
ly Republican, and harmony in the
party is only necessary to insure suc
cess. It is computed that 50,000,000 of
property have been destroyed by fire
during the past year, and Washing
ton is the gi eatest loser. The west is
young and vigorous, and in a short
time the cities in our ; neighboring
state will have fully recovered from
the effects of the flames.
The libel suit against the Lexington
Budget has been decided in favor of

of judicial procedure, is acknowledged,
