"If any workingman who thinks that free trade has really something more than low wages to offer, will go to England and 'visit the iron districts, he will soon be convinced to the contrary," said David Morgan, a well-known mill man of Bay View, Who has recently re- turnpd from a visit to England. "He will find," Mr. Morgan continued, "that wages are not more than half they are here, and that if the necessaries of life, taking them all together, allollar will not bay more than it will here, though it is true it will buy more of some things, woolen clothing for instance, and more of the luxuries which he cannot afford to own. He will find, too, that while there IB not mtich actual want among tho mill men, tbere is not much comfort, and the prospect for the future is exceedingly dubious." Mr. Morgan has been a mill man all his life, beginning in the very mills he has been visiting, and working at the business on both sides of the water.

knows by actual experience what mill life ia, what workinpmen'B needs are, what wages are and what they will buy. He was therefore qualified to make comparisons from the standpoint, not of the theorist, but of the practical worker. Living among the working people during his stay, and going with them into the mills, he had an excellent opportunity of studying the condition of the workingmen, as compared with their American cousins. "English puddlers," continued Mr. Morgan, "make about per day in our money, about half what the pud- dlers here earn.

Their helpers earn Si a day and the common mill laborer 75 cents on the average. The wages of the other mill men run in about the same proportion, with occasional exceptions, whore extraordinary conditions bring the wages up to something like the American standard. The coal miners, however, are better paid than tie American miners since the importation of Italian labor, and I went over with several miners who were going from Pittsburg to work in the English mines. The best paid common labor I found was where the men wpre working by the hour and earning about $1 per day. Street car earn $4.50 per week, and locomotive engineem $5.50 and SO per week.

Ordinary mechanics run from to $2 per day. "1 found that laces, diamonds, furs, Which a workingrnan could not inuch cheaper than they are here, but that food and about the same, taking all kinds into consideration. Flour was about 'be same price, but of a much poorer quality; good meat was more, and provisions varied, some being more, some less. Tomatoes were 20 cents per pound. Tools of all kinds, but particularly farmers' tools, are dearer, and "very clumsily made.

For that matter, few things compare with the American article in point of finish. The working people are bitterly opposed to the McKinley bill, and tbe American falling into their hands, who is not prepared to defend protection, will sulfer. They say the Americans are hoggish. We want things all our way, they say. Wo want other people to take our goods, but refuse to take their goods, in return.

Their mills are shutting down because they have ne market for their productions, and they long to have the United States opened to-them. "The outlook for tbe English mills, in the Midland district at least, is very bad. Competition has cut prices to such an extent thftt there is no money in the business, even with the low wages paid, and mills are closing, to run no more, almost daily. There were several failures in the Midlands wuile I was there, and many more will follow. In many instances where tbere are not failures, the mills are simply closed and left to rot.

In mv opinion the Midland district is deomed. "There is not much actual want among the mill people as yet, notwith- Btandingtbe number of uiillsehut down, for the reason that there has been a scarcity of mill labor, and the skilled men have been abrorbed by' the mills that are still running. The low wages paid and the hard work do not rmike mill jobs desirable, and the rising generation will not go into tbe mills. The consequence is that the depletions in the ranks of the old workers are not made up, and the iron workers are decreasing luster than the milk are decreasing. Such a state of affairs ought to result in better wages, but it cannot because of the great number of mills running almost at a loss, in consequence of sharp competition." Mr.

Morgan said that in tbe old iron mills, that did not make money enough to warrant expensive improvements, they were- working with the same old machinery that was in use fifty and seven ago, in tbe same slow and laborious fashion. In tbe steel plate mills in the Midlands, however, wonderful improvement has beenmade, and there is nothing in America now, Mr. Morgan says, to compare with Sir Alfred Hickman's "Model Mill," which rolls steel plate almost without human agency. The new mill buildingat West Superior is being constructed upon the plan oi this model mill. It Liooks Like Murder.

to HU Church mod at tho Oct. skies and a drizzling rain added to the gloom that overhung Ireland, yesterday, when the remains of Charles Stewart BameU were consigned to the tomb. The mutterings of the friends of the dead leader against those who had opposed him in later yean caused a general expectation of a serious outbreak during or immediately following the funeral ceremonies, but none occurred. The remains.of Mr. Parnell reached Kingston at 7 o'clock yesterday, morning.

After leaving London there were no demonstrations along the railroad rente until Chester was reached. Here large deputations from Liverpool, Manchester, Preston, Newcastle-on-Tyne and other places joined the train. Mr, ParnelTs colleagues in Parliament, including John E. Redmond, of Wexford; John O'Connor, of Tipperary; Joseph Nolan, of Lonth; Henry Campbell, of Fermanagh; Dr. James G.

Fitzgerald, of Longford, and James J. O'Kelly, of RoEcommon, extended greetings to the various deputations. The funeral train reached Holy head at about 2 o'clock. It was a typical British October dismal, wet, cold and hazy. Notwithstanding the unfavorable surroundings, eager groups of people had collected on the quay to watch ihe transference of the coffin from the train to the mail boat, appropriately named the "Ireland," in the inky darkness, which was scarcely relieved by the few flickering lamps in and about the railway station and water front.

The large white wooden case in which the coffin had been placed was upon the shoulders of seamen to the steamer. The journey across was eventless, the boat making the passage in a gale of wind and through torrents of rain. At Kingstown a crowd had collected to receive the remains on Irish soil. Conspicuous among those present were the followers of Mr. Parnell, Richard Power, member for Waterford: Dr.

Joseph E. Kenney.for Cork; T. Lawrence Carew, lor Kildare; James J. Daltpn, for West Donegal; T. Rochfort Majraire, for North Donegal; John J.

Clancy, for Dublin County; Wm. J. Corbet, for East Wicklow; CoL John P. Nolan, for Galway, and Patrick O'Brien for North Monaghan. These with the members of the House of Commons Who followed the body from London, and the Kingstown delegation, comprising nearly all the parliamentary adherents of Mr.

Parnell. AH gathered around the coffin in absolute silence, which was unbroken even by the exchange of friendly greetings, until after the transference of the body to the railway carriage. The short distance was soon made, ttie train arriving at the Dublin station at 7:30. As the hearse moved from the station, a body of police formed in front of the procession, which appeared to fall into an orderly line in a purely extemporized fashion. The band of the Workingmen's Union lollowed directly behind the police escort, and played the "Dead March in Saul." It was an assemblage of remarkable serenity.

A reverential quiet pervaded the entire mass, which was unbroken by partisan cries or even the remotest symptom or tendencv to disorder. At precisely 10 o'clock the gates of the city hall were opened, and instantly the people poured into The body lav in state in the council, large circular room now heavily draped in black, relieved by scrolls of white satin and looped festoons, bearing in black letters the last words of the dead chief. The coffin, which rested upon a raised dais in the middle ot the chamber, was buried in masses of wreaths, floral crosses, Irish harps and other floral designs, rrom 10 o'clock till 2 in the afternoon continuous stream of people poured into the city hall. It is estimated that iO.OOO people availed themselves of the opportunity to pay their respects tu the illustrious dead. Nearly all wore the deepest mourn- men with a band of black crape interwoven with crcen ribbon around tne arm.

Despite the drenching rain, a large proportion of the mourners were women. The ceremony of lying in state was to have been closed at noon, but the crowd was so numerous that the closing of the doors was postponed till after 2 o'clock, and even then hundreds were obliged to go away disappointed. It was a great in point of numbers anything of the kind ever witnessed in Dublin. Besides, it presented some extraordinary feat- ures'ne ver seen in any other city the world. Anywhere else a demonstration on so large a scale would have been conducted on a regular plan; some organizing body appointed with marshals to guide the elements into an orderly and.

to see to it that such bodies as were authorized to participate on the occasion should be protected on their march From the haphazard incursion of irregular and outside elements. Here, however, no such systematic plan seemed to regulate the procession, yet the same tine instinct of reverential order, pervading everywhere, gave, the march an aspect of drilled regularity. It was a motley mob of well-clad citizens side by side with the raggedest, that followed the procession and some miles. By 4 o'clock the police became overwhelmed by the power of the ever-increasing crowd, and by the withdrawal of a portion of their force, who went to try to clear a way for the funeral at the entrance gates to the cemetery. When the first part of the procession reached the lower gate, at 5 o'clock, it was found to be impossible to penetrate the dense masses.

In the struggle with the onlookers the. were obliged abandon the attempt to.drive them back. The surging crowd around the jateBeekingtpsee the cortege met the great contending wave of others, trying enter. A scene of great confusion ensued. The procession for a time was checked and thrown into disarray.

It was decided'to dose the' lower, gate, and thia was effected great disorder, just as the hearse reached lie spot. The hearse was then taken to" upoer, Here, coffin WM remo ve'd and placed on a platform ally constructed Tor'the purpose, in order to enable those in the ile around and have a full view of the rier.

Vincent, of the Rotunda Chapel, and the Rev. George Fry, of Manchester, officiated. They were, obliged to cut the service short, as the crowd broke into the protecting circle and overwhelmed the inner group. Some time after, in the dead darkness, when the crowd had thinned away, the more intimate again grouped themselves around the deposited wreaths thereon, and took the last view of the coffin. The grave became heaped np with.
