It is seldom that in any community is to be found a young man who for hi on- poitunities has attained a position of so high regard and commandinst.such confi dtnee among his fellow citizen an has Mr. Geo. B. Browner, of this city, demo cratic candidate for county trjasurer, whose election ss has been heretofore stated in these columns, has been practi cally conceded by conservative republi cans having the means of obtaining the prevailing sentiment throughout the county. Mr. Browner is a typical self made man, and it is the way he has climbed np to bis present position in public esteem by the sheer force of industry and perse verance, overcoming many obstacles and hardships that has won him so manv friends and such immense popularity. Born in Moline, April 22. 1854, of Swed-. ish parents, who were not bivssel with an over abundance of this worlds CKO. 15. l'.ROWSER goods, and who, beint; hard working peo ple, George was obliged to look out for himself in the world at an early age. Tie atti'ndtd school until he was fourteen years of age. when the family moved to Roek Island and George went to wo-k in the old saw mill which was located w here the great C, li. I. & P. round house now stands. He worked hard from sunrise to sunset, turning his smsll earnings in to the support of the family every night and then putting in his evenings studying and reading a-d improving his education by those means which have made many a successful man who wasdeuied in youth the privileges of the advanced brt.nches of common schooling. In 180 he commenced driving a street car on the old Moline & Rock Island horse railroad, and for five yeurs he pursued this avocation d ligently and faithfully. Indeed he made the longest unbroken record ever made by a single man in the company's errploy. It was about this time that the full bur k-n of supporting a large family fell upon George's shoulders and for five years he put in fourteen to sixteen hours a day. and 3t5 days a year, exposed to all kinds of weather in order that his fa' her and mother, brothers and sisters might have the necessaries of life. It was his faithfulness here, together with his po lite and modest disposition, that attracted the attention of not only John Warn er, the president of the road, wt o prized him more highly than any man in hisem ploy. but also such men as Ex-Myors E.P. Reynolds and Porter Skinner, who un known to George himself, took an inter est in him, and investigated his circum stances. The more they learni d of him the more they liked him, and t nsilly Mr. Skinner took him off the car line and gave him other employment. He worked for Mr. Skiuner a vear. pursuing the same inilusliious modest habits wht:h hd al ways characterized his disposition, and putting in bis spare time in reading and studv. V hen the mail carrier syst.-m was es tablished in Rock Island in 18SG. it was the same three men he- fore mentioned who were the first to en dorse Mr. Brownei's petition for a carrier John Warner, E. P Heynolds and Porter Skinner. He was appointed and in the two years that be served proved one of the ni st efficient carriers on the force. In fa( t there was a general feeling of regret minifested by residents on his route when he resigned to go into the grocery business on his own account. Notwithstanding the demands upon him for nearly all his earnings be managed by economy to lay aside a por tion from time to time and was now ready to establish himself in the business world The grocery firm of Danquatd & Browner was established, but soon a"ter Mr. Dan quard was obliged to retire because of failing health, and his partner, Mr. Brown er, purchased Ins interest and baa con ducted the business since. Last spring Mr. Browner was nominal ed on the democratic ticket for assistant supervisor of Rock Island township and in the election that followed he not only led the democratic ticket, but had a large majority oyer every other candidate on either ticket. His vote vas 1.627, that of the next highest being Conrad Schnei der, republican, whose tctal was 1,3 Browner's run was the sensation of the day and the A nous at the time said: Tbe popularity of Mr. Geo. B. Browner, candidate for supervisor, was a remarka ble characteristic of the election. Con sidering the fact that it v as Mr. Brown ei's first political canvasr and his age, the result is at once complin icntary to him and gratifying to bis fritnds, as well as phenomenal. The favor with which bis name was received was s pnntaneous in it nature, and the vote be teceived not only leads every candidate of either party on the township ticket, but ne has the largest majority ever given a township nominee Bat Mr. Browner tool; the compliment modestly and went rigb". along about his business in a manner that still further won the admiration of those who knew him. llis nomination lortiie sti 1 more re sponsible position of county treasurer, thus evincing still greater confidence In him by bis friends, was received in the aau.- manly way by the nominee, though be realii..;s to the fullest degree the fiigher bonor that bis friends are determined to confer upon him. He has the still fur ther satisfaction of knowing, too, that not onl have tbo wording men enlisted tbemsdf ea in support of bis candidacj as onf their number, but the beat class of refTesentatlye citizens of Rock Island irrtsrective of party tre exerting them selvi in his behalf.. : If & THE KOCK ISLAND THE SOCIAL SIDE.

McCandless yesterday afternoon and !ast evening was the event of the social season in Rock Island so far. The hurs were from 3 to 6 and from 7 to 11, and between those hours 150 guests from the three cities called. The house on Twenty-second street and Seventh avenue, was richly and beautifully decorated with plants and flowers, roses predominating. Schillinger'a orchestra, stationed in the upper ball, furnished sweet and popular music at intervals and In the evening the porch and grounds were illuminated, but much skill and pains emnl ived in this part of the affair were lost, as the rain de stroyed the lanterns and candtes before the full effect was seen. Trre;i with his excellent corps did the honors as caterer, the cuissine. which was verv elaborate. VB aving been prepared by Krell & Math. The ladies of the Central Presbyteritn church gave a delightful entertainment at the home of Mrs. W. a. Knowlton, on Second avenue, last evening. The pro gramme included vocal and instrumental music, declamations, etc., and the enter tainment proved a success in a pleasura ble and social sense, as well as from a monetary point of view. That I'npopaUr Itavrnnorl Ordi nance. The Davenport Tribune attempts to smooth matters over for the Davenport council for that unpopular electric railway ordinance and says that "surely the coun cil is not asking too much when it asks for $ 500 per yenr from the Holmes syn dicate for what is a very valuable fran chise. As the Tribune stated yesterday morning, there are two sides to the ques tion and strong arguments can be used on both sides. The Tribune hopes to see the matter amicably adjusted and the work of equipping the lines proceeded with at once." The Tribune evinces very strange tact when it encourages this imposition on the Holmes people, and ytt hopes to see the matters amicably adjusted. The Holmes people will probably submit to no adjustment until they see the embargo Davenport has placed on their enterprise raised. The Detucrat more cleailv voices the correct position when it says: The refusal of the city council to grant the Holmes syndicate street car line elec tric privileges equal to those granted the Kraay street line was the talk of the town yesterday. And public sentiment as ex pressed on the streets was nil one way. And that one way it might have been added was that the Holmes people were not treated fairly by the Davenport coun cil. There is no use straddling the Ques tion, for public sentiment in Davenport does nots sustain the council's attitude CITYJJHAT. Mr. and Mrs. R.

OnTOTTETl A. ixo WHY THEY STARVED. England Under Protection and ller Hungry People. Prosperity Taklna; ttaape H kea Free) Trade Principles Were Adapted What Britain' Leadlaa; Thlakera May ef American Fallacy. In a letter writter to the Union Mr. Howard Wells, postmaster of this city, attempts to prove that Britibh free trade Is an injury to that country and cites in proof that a man in London died of star vation. He quotes Raskin to show that the British idea of free trade was and is to have all the free trade to itself. With out discussing that feature of the case, it may be said that the protectionists claim they can accamplish the same thing for this country, and while, if successful, it might be a barbarous mode of national progress, yet the protectionists must hsve learned by bitter experience that all their legislation in that direction has been a failure. Matthew Arnold is also quoted to show that free trade has been the means of in creasing England's trade, business and population, the very thing that free trad ers in this country claim by the adoption of that principle, or rather a more nearly allied to it than the Chinese wall theory adopted by the advocates of high protection. Even if true, according to the quotation from Matthew Arnold, that about one in nineteen of England's population is a pauper, it does arise from free trade principles. However, that country had tried protection for nearly two hundred years before America achieyed its independence. Adam Smith in bis "Wealth of Nations," showed the utter fallacy of such a system, but against all opposition it remained in force until the country was prostrated in every branch of industry and labor. It has been argued that England adhered to protec- lon until she had placed herself in such a condition that the could defy the world and that then she practically abolished her custom bouses and invited the world to enter and compete. But this is not true. Protection in England was not altogethor abolished until 1840. For some years before it was dying fast. The people were on the verge of starvation. and they looked ask were making the laws. They could not understand why bread was denied them. They had seen meat but once a year, and that at Christmas, the sight of which al most created a panic among the strug gling masses to reach it. This was the condition about the year 1842. When Sir Robert Peel was minister the thoughtful people were grieyed and alarmed at his position because of the condition of the people. The manufacturing districts were atricksn and mutterings of an un pleasant nature were beard. The em pioyers thematives could not see their way out, and matters looked for them as hard almost as for the employes. Daily matters grew worse. All branches of in dustry were affected. In some districts i fourth of the population was reported to be In a starving condition, and that they would actually die from want unless some prompt and extraordinary measures were taken. In the woolen districts the allowance to the independent laborer was not two thirds of the smallest amount in the workhouse. Half the master spinners in a certain district had failed before 1842; their dwelling houses to the number of 3,0j. were were shut up, and those who lived in the others couldn't pay their rent. In one manufacturing town 5.000 workmen were wa'.king the streets un able to find anything to do. and the na tional authorities were notified that mat ters were getting beyond control, so that the government was obliged to come to the relief at once. In Manchester those who were employed in collecting rents dare not face their employers because no rent could be collected Dealers in provisions were openly preyed up-n for food for starving children Frantic women held starving children t their breasts and demanded food. Par ties of depraved men marched the streets taking from those who possessed material for food. New clothes were never thought of. The rid ones were continually patched until the original was not seen. Bread t j the amount of half a penny was an ordinary purchase. People once well off were obliged to buy a pennvsworth of something to moisten their potatoes. There was starvation everywhere. Poor rat'.'S were increasing in a startling man ner. The trade of the shop keepeis was falling off at a ruinous rate. One man in 1833 bad retired from business leaving property worth $300,000 to his sons. Both his own and his sons' fortunes went and he was living on a salary of less than $5 a week. Families that bad been com fortable were sleeping on shavings and trying to get "blue milk" on every other day to use with their oat meal, and this was final! replaced by water. Premiums were offered people to leave the country. The poor held meetings after dark, liehted by a tallow candle, and talked over their grievances told how in the better days they had had enough to keep body and soul together, but evon that they could ni t have now. The tales of sorrow aud suffering were pathetic as told by the sufferers themselves. It will not do to say that all this pov erty and degradation was the result of the corn laws, for while by them, it is true, the food productions of the farm and raw materials were "protei t-id," everything and everybody was protected tUo the land owner and mill owner and the gatbt erer of seaweed. Everybody that manu factured was clamoring for protection and got it. And it was not until 1846 when the barriers to national prosperity were torn away, that the date of England's manufacturing progress began. WHAT OTHERS SAT. It has been given out that England has been writhing in agony about the McKin ley bill. To show how these agonies take form, the London Standard says that the measure may diminish England's trade with America, but it will aid that country immensely to spread into other quarters. A number of Eng ish merchants and mans ufacturers have looked forward with dread to the time when America would enter the markets of the world to com pete with on a free trade basis. Their alarm will now disappear. "To our own colonies, to the new fields in Africa and to all countries desirous of developing their foreign trade," asserts the Standard, "continuance of the high U' in Amei- will be an excellent bit of g tune. A Scotch statesman, Mr. yes Hilt, who bas just completed a tour of the world, says: . "All I can say is, Qod help Englishmen, when the Americans po for free tiadel At this moment tbey are pay ing thirty millions into our pockets on account of the tbip building and carrying trade which their idiotic navigation laws have lost to them.' " Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, in an inter view with a representative of the New York Timet, said: "As an Englishman, I am glad to see me united states adopt the McKinlev or any other bill that will serve to map tain the bulwark of protection that has been erected around this country. The iiigh tariffs which the United States ha? ex acted ior yeirs nave served to inc; .'ase England's trade and enrich her ier- chants. I have repeatedly said in pub lic at borne what I now sav to you, chat England would suffer great loss :tbe protective system should be abolish d in the united states. we hive bu up an enormous trade with the cout ries of South America, with Austsiia, ana omer countries, and which we could not bold if free trade were adopted here. You have enormous re sources in raw materials, in worktaan- ship, and in machinery, against which England would cut a sorry figure if foth countries were placed on an equal foot ing in the race for commercial supremacy. will not say that England would be totally vanquished, but she woul i be greatly injured in the competition, in a few years the United States would lule the commercial world beyond the shallow of a doubt. Those people in Eng'md who have expressed themselves in oppo sition to the measuie evidently have not studied the question as they should. iney neea to examine Americas re sources. As an Englishman, therefore. I hope your policy of protection will be kept up indefinitely. The higher the tariffs the better will I be satisfied, for I cannot imagine a eevcrer blow to my country than the United States could deal by declaring for free trade." Klver Klplrin.
