London, Oct. 25.—He was a foreman plumber, English through aud through, b;:t ijiiite ns Intelligent ns n uiati of : like occupation In the L'tilteil States. ! 110 was discussing Joseph Chainber l.iin's tarlll schemes with some of his j irlotids, Including the writer. At the beginning of his talk ho an- j II nineed that, although he had formerly j believed ltt free trade, he was now l;enrl and tioui In favor of a protective > tnriff for England. He Justified his ! pro-vut political attitude In this way: [ i hear a lot about all sort« of things j « istiug more lu the United States than I i: i Kuglaud, because of the American ; tariff," he said. "One thing 1 know, and that is that men are worth more I'.i tlie United States than In England. 1l is admitted eveu by those who want to see England continue its free trade policy that wages are much higher in i a- United States than here, aud the j. iveniiuent reports, which are being -ot out constantly, tell us just how much higher. "Hut it is said it costs so much more to live in America than In England that the American Is really worse off than the English workman. You can buy so much more for your money in England, they say, that 2 sovereigns— •Vi"-will carry the English workman fari hi• i" than S2O will the American. •"It may be so, but 1 doubt it. Yet It Is perfectly amazing what two aud s that's about 60 cents In American money, Isn't it?—will buy off the coun ters of some of the English shops. You can't help but wouder how it is done when you notice how many articles that you need can be had for that pi-!.e. I'erliaps you suspect there is something the matter with them and examine them carefully to find out. Tliey seem all right. You feel glad y "t live in a country where such a lit !'•■ bit of money will buy so much. :■> i you decide to take the things t!.:ll i ■, if you have the 'two and six' in \ >ui- pocket. If you are out of em ployment >ni)l your pocket is empty it i' I'-n't matter whether the price is 2s. iml. or £2 On. You can't buy them at either figure. -When you get home with what you I ive I ton glit you notice that every one of the things is somewhere marked, •M.ulc In England in ex change for English money, which wil be it.

"I.et England once lay a good, solid duty on the things that are brought In in>iii Germany and sold here in such wonderful cheap 'two and six' lots and see what the result would be. Thou sands of the capable workmen now idle in London would be put to work making these things. The money tbey cost would be used to pay wages to Englishmen, not Germans, and the Englishmen would spcud It here, not In Germany." a j The foreman pkimber's disgust at t the flooding of England with cheap | German made goods will be better uu- j I derstood when the variety of matin- j | factured German articles sold In Lou- 1 j don. almost to the utter exclusion of English made goods of the same I | grades, Is known. I Go where you will In the cheaper , | shops patronized principally by the ' working people and you will find the , three words "Made In Germany" on . practically every article offered for sale in these lines: Rugs, chiua, iron ; stone ware, dolls, toys, hardware, cut lery, tools, metal goods of every con ceivable sort, cheap Jewelry, men's and women's hats, umbrellas, walking sticks, carpets, hosiery and all mnnnei of knit goods, cheap curios, picture frames, colored pictures, and so on. "Just wait till English worklngmen generally get tlie hang of things as they really are." said the plumber, "and then give them a chance to vote for members of parliament. You'll see a majority In favor of Mr. Chamber lain's tariff plans at Westminster then " DEXTER MARSHALL. The Warrliiß Democrat.. An astonishing number of prominent Democrats devote most of their ener gies to accusing one another of trying to disrupt the party. Washington Star. WOULD HURT WORKERS. To Stop Cu.lom of Selling Sarplu* iioodn Altroad. Democrats arc attempting to force j the tariff as an issue to the front, and j the gage is promptly taken up. Ad ; inlttlug that the country is more pros j j porous than ever, that more people are i | employed and at higher wages than j ! ever before, while the cost of living Is j } proportionately less, the Democrats j I now take up the plea that the mnnu- ; | t'acturers are making too much money I aud that they must be skinned. The ) only argument offered is that iriauu ! faclurors sometimes sell goods abroad I for less than home prices. I The fact is undoubted. Let us admit j j that at the start, but as the amount of j \ foreign sales compared with those at j ! home is but a minute percentage, toe j much must not be argued from the j | fact. If this is the only nation in the | wsrld that has such a practice II | might seem reprehensible. In fact, as I Secretary Shaw shows, nearly every j nation in the world*does the same and particularly free trade England. It is a double edged sword that the Demo crats use, for If our practice menus that we must adopt free trade it is equally as logical that Great Britain should adopt protection. Every nation does tills, for the very simple reason that the manufacturer likes to keep Ills mills goiug all the time if he can. He does not want to lay off his hands. He wants to keep in business. If he lias a surplus be yond the home demand he will sell it abroad for what he can get if there is the barest margin of profit aud even when there is none at all. To stop this custom would hurt the working men more than any one else. The foreign trade iu manufactured goods is to a large extent a remnant sale, such as every bargain counter affords. -I'hlladelphla Inquirer.
