BLAINE OK LABoR
I may be aske eli now whether Mr.. Blaine
makes any more when no takes hold Of the
labor question. He says:
"This Chinsae question cohnecta Itself N.
timately and in~xeparrbiy with the labor
question. Their immigration 10 encouraged
by Some openly, by many secretly, bfcans0
most dangerous one. In = Republic, where
the man who works carries q ballot IN his
hands. It will not do for capitalized wealth TO

give the lxborer his fair share, and capitali1

B~EEcnER's PM" As TO HI KIND OF
LABOR WE NEED.
This a very a~pccious and Il very soph1sticat.
