Electonecring the money that is needed to pay

Such a man confcsses himself unit Tor any
responsible charge, and should not have any.
Wandering speech makers, who brlng no weight
of character into the contest can 90 no essential
service. but there is work for all, and now is the
time TO set about it. Let us all begin at once.
FARMERS, You can help immensely II YOU
will. The great art OF Loco Focosn consists IN
arraving one class or interest against another-io
fill the land with jealousy and hatred-to set the
Laborer at variance with the Employer, and secure
the vate Of the former out Of ilI-Wil or envy to-
ward the latter. Just now the special cue IS TO
make al! other classes believe that the 1lanuiac-
turers arc alone benefited by the Protective Sys-
tem-tlat Mey arc realizing immense dividends,
while all other classes arc suffering from 1t. Now
YOU know better than this; you know that Labor
needs steady and well pad employment, and lhat
this is only attainabe where many branches OF
Industry are prosecuted--that IN the country
where but one branch of Industry IS carried on
the Iaborers are little removed from sers. You
know that the prosecution of Manufacturing and
Mechanical branches is advantageous to Agrcul
ture, by furnishing good and convenient mar
ket-that your Products generally, II carried tar,
must be sold low, taking into account the eX-
pense of transportation. You know, ii you have
ewes, that Manufacturers are not making exorbl-
tant profits-that they are supplying our markets
with their several fabrics as cheaply IN the ave-
rage as they were ever supplied, and that, though
the duty be 10 or 80 per cent. higher, you now
buy such articles as they produce as cheapiy as
ever before You know, if you have eyes, that
they are not making amy such profits as the Globe
Evening Post, n. IL. Patriot, sc. falsely repre-
sent. Now and then concern may have done
very we'll this year, just as here and there farm
er has bought a tract of Western land, broken
up and fenced it, and paid the whole cost out oil
the first crop. But these are the exceptions not
the rule; if secen per cent. may safely be made
in Manufacturing or any other business, abun-
dance of Capital stands ready to rush into that
branch and reduce is to the general level. Farm
ers. explain these matters famiharly to your
friends and neighbors, make them see that the
true interest Of all lies not In strife and envy but
in union and mutual good will, and thus AID Us 10

LABeRERs this cause OF Protection Is yours
will YOU not defend and sustanit? You under
stand it all alike when it comes up IN different
form-ior instance, if you arc Coopers, Shoe
makers. or whatever, and your business IS largely
prosecuted in the State Prison, exposing you TO
unequal and ruinous compctltlon-you rally as
one man to rcSistit. You cannot then be fooled
by any demagoguc abuse of your employers as i!
it were question for them only, in which you
had no interest; but you see at once that ygm
livelihood is at stale-that, however 1t may ht
with your employers, you cannot work and thrive
IN direct competition with men whose services
cost shilling a day. Why Will not az! OF yot
eyince the same good sense N reference TO 70
reign competition. You can you must, /
YOU, LaborerS. who are right on tins SUBJECT WI
bu, fortlty yourselves with the facts and docu
ments and speak famillarly 10 your friends enc
neighbors who, iromlgnorance orputy prcjudlces
are hostile or Indifferent, you can sweep away Ill
opposition. Neye. wrange or lose temper
waste little breath in crowds or barToolns-hut
