England for Blaine.

William Hemy Hurlbert, formerly editor of the New York World, has sent the' following cablegram to Senator McDonald, of Indiana: Loudon, Sept. 36—To J. E. McDonald. Indionapolis: It is not true that the leading British newspapers favor the election of Governor Cleveland and deprecate the ejection of Blaine. British commercial interest demand the election of Blaine, and practical British exporters admit this to me. The system of Federal taxation i©presented by Mr. Blaine has given Engl .nd the markets of the world. Englishmen know that American production has outrun our capacity for horn- consumption. Englishman know that Democratic reform extending the free list of raw materials would so diminish the cost of American production as to drive English goods out of foreign markets, increase the output X American factories, enhance the de«* maud for intelligent American labor ' and raise the wages of American workingmen. Democratic reform means deatn to Federal taxation, under which American exports have fallen off $83,000 000 io value since ,1883, and $162,000,000 in value since Mr. Blaine came into power with the late President Garfield in 1880, This Federal taxation feeds the export trade of England. What wide-awake English newspaper, then, can advocate the election of Mr: Cleveland? Englishmen know that it i t this Federal taxation which handicaps the well-paid, intelligent labor of America, as French protection now enables labor to undersell France in the markets of French Africa Englishmen admit that under re fermed democ:atic taxation American labor might undersell English producers in England. We grow three-fourths of the cotton of tne world. Our cotton factories are the best appointed; our spinners toe best paid and the best educated alive, yes Englishmen taunt us to-day with the assertion that our exports of cotton goods are anniudly diminishing, cyen with an over supply at home, with millious of customers at our doors iu the new world. Are Western voters marines, that Mr. Blaine should ask them to believe that Eng land lngs to see Mi, Cleveland saw off that huge limb of Federal taxa** tiou on which England rolls so comfortably? What can be the use of making commercial treaties with Mexico- or Spanish America, or Asia, while Mr. Blaine stands ready with his Federal taxation to closd any possible Panama Canal to the macuacturars of America f r the benrfli of tin exporters of England and ropeWilliam Henry Furlburt.
