The explanation of the thunderstruck

kind of stuff upon which the Unti-h
have fed ever since the new tariff
pasaed. It is taken from the Londou

he went on believing with unabated

what it says:

that f reo traders, ail the world over, will

sjsjsjsjaj output, in thi country, but the

an mtr-rvi. w b th.- BttBhl I OoaUMTI i 1
Lattra to (ha effaet of the late tariff
tr m their bsMbMsa Mr. II. li. Li.-n r
said:
" When tlie McK.nh v bill berime law
our b n;j , i; orders were
canceh'd from Ivre (aja I 9 peg cast "f
cur trade was with Ain. rH-a); the tain
of all our stock v nt doWB and d WV
nntil the tuff was hardly worth any-
iog. Tussah silk, which has sold I r
eighty cent per pound, dropjwd to Hi
te'n cent within twelve kontha, and
the n i srad utiesM declmad la
rti n, and tu?ah silk product- were
a large factor in our busine. The re
sult of this depr. ciation was a loes to
our concern exceeding half a million
dollars, with woine prpcts at the
ginnind of the second yaw than whan
the act was pa -- !. Wo continued busi
ness, thOQgh Ht a lass, hoping that the
bill would he repealed and that wo could
agam get eostrol of th Americaa nuu
ket. The showing of the second balance
sheet was so much worse than that of
the firet that father and I at once de-
pJded to iry Auienca.''
-Mr. Lister svs that his goods can be
manufactured hero as well as elsewhere.
Of tlie American market he says:
"Our experience is that it is the great
est and bert market in the world, and is
continually improving. Tlie population
is not only immense, but tho per capita
ronsumption is greater than in any other
country, which is accounted for by the
fact that the American working and
middle classes are more prosperous than
anywhere else and buy more freely,
while in England, 1 am BpfTJ to say, the
haying .v parity of the masses is seriously
deci easing."
For the kind of labor employed in Irs
business, Mr. Lister says, he will bo
obliged to pay from 50 to 100 per cent,
more in this country than ho paid in
E land. The weekly eernings of warp
firemen in their Heiddemfield factory
were 3 shillings or $8 per week, while
in this country they will have to pay
$18.00 for tho same work. Pint-killed
leboren they paid in England less than
fo per week, but here they will h
obliged to pay from $6 to $B per week,
o their FriK'ii -h factory they dd loom
fi.vrs p per week, but will havo t
SIS and r for the mum work in theii
Jammttwiu factory.
Mr. Lifter further says that a lalor
ir. man can live as cheaply in tiiis coun
try M In England. Meat, egirs. butter,
chaeee, ll- ur, fruit and vegt-tables are
cheaper here. The only things dearer
are beejtw rent and the finer grades of
clothing.
Of the comfortable condition of our
working clashes be said:
"When I came here and saw the com
fortable quarters occupied by your work
people, I lid not help thinking that a
man leaving the conditions existing on
the other ;de and acquiring those here
mu-T feel this country to be heaven.'
When Baked to account for the fact that
so many foreigners vote for ffee trade
when they come to this country, Mr.
Lister answered:
"I c.i. not, unless upon tho theorythat
they rlo not understand what they aro
doing. Free trade In this country, or a
B it rial reduction of the present tariff.
