The principe speaker at the annual dinner of the New England Free Trada league, held on Bay B, wus Mr. Franklln Pierce, of New York. Ua handled his Hubjeet Without giOVOS, He said ill Mali as follow i "Not only am the farmers beginning to appreciate the truth that protection rohs them and their families, but 'our man u fact i;i ers. as the products of their looms exceed the demand of the borne market, are Bmderstandi Dg thnt protective tariff, especially upon thelf raw material, is against t heir interests, "The present popu la t ion of t he world in about 1,400,000.000, and only 400,ooo.doo use machinery nt ail. The rest OO their work by rude tools guided by the hands, and we. the Yankee nation, who have revolutionized th- world by our inventions, who nae machinery ta greater extent than any other people, we refuse to allow the raw material which these 1,000,000,000 of non-machine usiiifj people create, to enter our
ports in exchange for machine-made products, except upon the pavment of excessive duties, while the more intelligent of our manufacturers are clamoring for free r W material and saving: 'Give ns free raw material, and we will OOUquer the markets of the world.' "instead of seeking the mark'-ts of the world, employing millions of men now lying idle, making the margin of profits b-ss hut the OUtpOi several times greater than at present, getting thereby a steady market ami continued service for our laboring classes, our trusts nnd combinations ate hiring their competitors to close their factories and threw tens of thousands of laboring men out of employmeat. "We have only to get freedom of trade and we can capture the markets of the w orld in ninny lines. What the Englishman is to the QetUMUl the American is to the Englishman, and Just ss the German is crying ou1 against coan petition with the mschine-msds eoods and high priced labor of England, just so would England cry out against oom petition with the machinemade go.uls and the high-priced labor of America, were duties upon all raw materials removed. "We Americans walk faster, talk faster, w ork faster, do every t hi ng faster than any other people on the face of the earth. A people of the greatest natural i-or, atid the greatest enterprise in the world, we have pampered our life nnd 'ina-. iil.ited our strength and lartrcly impaired the virility of our
national life by a protective tariff. Manliness nssi-rls its mastery in the si. me way in manufacturing as it does In every walk of life. The men in pro fessions who a -k no favors, but cet out
upon the dusty arena and fight for a lead, arc the men who gain Strength by every effort. Qivs ns ten ears of free tra ile, and we would capture from England one-fourth of her vast trade. Hive us 20 years of free trade, nnd we will lead the world as exporters. "The protective System has debauched public men and corrupted publie life. lira any bod of men. however pure, the power to take $100,000,000 from the pockets of the millions nnd transfer it to the pockets of a few men through nn act of legislation and you have area ted a corrupting power which will destroy the Mrtue and the patriotism of that body of men. "We shall never get rid of the evils w hich I haTe described until every dollar raised by taxation is paid Into the ; national treasury ; tint il w stop entirely this practice of allowing tho right of
govern me n1 to tax property t be usi I for the purpose of allowing the menuhaeturer to prohibit Importations, form trusts ami rob our people df hundreds of millions of dollars each y-ar. "The remedy is in direct taxation. Every man has a right to know exactly what he pays toward the expenses of government, and direct taxation hi the only means of stopping the lavish as pond i tore of public atom y. "For a period of ten years between IT 1 and 1800 inclusive, with n tariff of si . pOV ,.,.,,t. upon foreign imports, and at the very lime w hen we were going to the great 'xpense of establishing our government, the OOSt of government WSS Onlj glfl.M per.. -pita for the ten years. From 1 v ;, i to lsii Inclusive, under a tariff for revenue only, the cost of government was only I81JHI per capita for the ten years. From 1-71 to IssO Inclusive the actual running expenses of government had risen to $1 41 per rapitn. more than si times the n mount required under a tariff for revenue only, nnd durintr the last ten years the cost of government has been steadily Increasing. "As a nation we can stand this lavish
expenditure of the people'a money, but ej can never stnnd the luxuries, tho Iniquities, the lack of patriotism which greet wealth, quickly acquired, is sure to bring. "We can he robbed by a protective tariff and still live, but when the robbar takes the money and bugs special legislation and turns it o.er to campaign committees to buy votes with, the very life of free government is asSallcd. Nat ions do not go don n to death In the momentous sweep of battle. They rnther die from the poison which the lobbyist ami the vote buyet ' infui Ml Into the body politic.

Concerning mendicancy in Italy , Col, Wan ing writes: "Perhaps there is no better index to the good or bad condition of the working-! phi of a country than ia afforded by the number of beggara one nn'ets on the roads. The p. i-s set tip at the bonier of Austria, with their Spiral stripes of yellow and black, do not mark ihe line between it and Italy much more clearly than docs the advent of the beggar the moment the line ia crossed. In Austrian Tyrol there are virtually no beggars. On the Italian side, even well-dressed people la the fields xxill leaxe their work to beg OOS l'crs from the passing travelers. One day, in the upper Innthal, a couple of bright-looking, rosy-faced children ran uftcr us, asking for kreutcrs. "Mawknix" Upbraided them for such a shameful act, and they slunk away. He spoke of this with much indignation to a neighbor i Who said th-ir whole family
i were aw ay in the fields at work, or they would not hare dared to beg. and that he would see that they xxere well spanked x ben their mother came home at night. Nuns and a fexe favored cripples sometimes ask alms at the doora of the churches in the larger low ns. and the "poor box" isalwaxs found inside; but the peasantry mi the churches take care of their oxvn poor, so that the vice of beggary ia uuknow n nmong them. In Italy, on the other hand, it ia obvious t hat special conditions of deformity are ertttteteUy produced. Both bgs broken and badly reset in childhood constitute a good source of in. mac for life; and anything that sppeala to "rrrrrrnthj at mama the occasion for cultivating n very mistaken and mischievous charity.
