AMERICAN MECHANICS, LOOK AT THIS THE
Harrisburg IntelIigenccr says that ",he
number of pairs of boots imported last year
from France, was 1888, which is an in.
crease since the fatal Compromise Act of
sicteen hundred per cent! The quantity of
shoes imported here last year Was 75,432 |
pairs. This does not include shoes import
ed from other countries.
A late U. s. Gazette states that 1900 or.
ders were lately sent to the tailors of France
by citizens of Philadelphia for coats. No
doubt these Philadelphia dandies are all OPP
posed to disturbing the Compromise Act, and !
many Of them write articles for the Ledger,
Daily Chronicle and Spirit OF the Times,
showing that duty on foreign articles is q |
tax on the people. -,
The above will show the laborng men of
oil trades, and every occupation, what the
ant.tariif doctrines are bringing us 10. One
trade cannot be injured without depressing
all others. When the people of this coun. !
Try send to Europe to get their coats and
shoes made, they will send there for their
hats, their furniture, and every thing else
that fashion dictates. Every tradesman
must then go 10 farming, and as the farmer
could have no market for his produce, pow
erty would be the lot of the great mass of
the nation. Then the rich would become |
richer and the poor poorer. The rlQ ght

No doubt these handles in their French
coats and boots, talk long and m about de-
mocracy. They probably thihlt That 10 cts.

of these poor creatures by the hand unless it
be within three weeks ofan election.
If the Mechanics wish to maintain their
proper standing in the Nation-if they wish
sound currency-if they do not wish TO see
our citizens clad in garments made in the
workshops of Europe, they must unite in ia.
