How It Goes

Saúl Mr. John Wanamaker to a represe n tM ti ye of the Press. " One of the lest known manufacturers of Great Britain, an oíd and very able business man and a member of l'arlinment, said to me wlien visiting this country eome inonths ago : 'Give us gome special orders; we have not been able for a loiijr time to run all our looms, and we wiil !e willing to set apart certain looms for you and make any specialties you wish, and confine the goods solely to your house. " '"Wliy don't you run all you machinery ?' I asked. "'Your confounded protection 3 our rouble,' he answered. "'Well, tlien, pull up stakes and move one of you larxe f:nt ries over here. America would welcome such an ndustry as yours.' " The very wise and prompt reply of the British legUlator and mauufocturer was : "If you cu:i ftaarantee that protection wil] remain as it now is we wlll move our works over here immediately - " " Ali, then." said Mr. Wanamaker, " wlien you have your looms and works in Europe you are opposed to protection in Americi ; but if you moved over here you would insist npon having it. As an BnjtHshinati you are down on protection, but if' your intereits were In America you would demand it. Your consistency Is not as clear as your self-interest." It is froe trade moie tlian families wbicb has brouttlit poor Ireland to her wretched Coudltlon. Enwlatid lias shut up her faetones and workshops, killing her diversiBed industries. If the Irishman could woik in milis snd factories his potatoes mlgbt rot, ttill he would have monpy to buy wheat or barley. They have but one iodustry- and when that faila " God heli) poor Ireland." Free trade lias driven from her gteeu sod thousands of Irishtnen, and when they c.;me here to vote for a contlnaance of t they show a woiidcríul toigiving auil forgctling spirit.
