Daily Republican., 1879-12-11

The bill which Mr.. Beck has offered
in.ths Senate if it should become law
would not only be a strike at the cap
italists of the country, though they
would feel the blow keenly but upon the
labor Of the country and yet much Of
that labor which will be stricken down,
is so blinded by political prejudice that
it votes with lis own oppressors to put
itself in the yoke of bondage. This is
a strange political iniatuation that
co,l scarcely be expected amongst in,
telligent workmen, and yet 1t does
exist as is fully shown from year to
year. There are hundreds Of workmen
now employed in the ship yards of the
Harlan 4 Hollingsworth company, the
Jackson and Sharp company, and the
Pusey & Jones company who are given
steady employment and good wages.
They are good mechanics and do their
work well no doubt, but At the same
time they go up to the polls, election
after election, and vote straightout
with the party that would by legisla-
ton close up these shipyards and
throw them and their employers out
of work. Strange inconsistency When
will such workmen understand their
true interest
Daily Republican., 1879-12-11

THB Gazette need not 60 of in such
burst Of fury as it exhibited last
evening in references 10 the discrepancy
between the figures IS ,0oo aud $25, 900
which it claimed would be in bank by
the first of January. No doubt the
Gazette" did mean to say that there
would be $25, 900 in tank instead Of
1900, but it didn't say 30, and hence
its efforts to parade the REPUBLICAN, be
fore TIE public as being. .untruthful will
only return to plague itself. After a
few of its editions containing the s. 900
figures had been struck off, the error
may have been discovered and the fig
uros changed to s25, 900, but then We
happened to get one Of the first struck
off, and hence We were no. mistaken.

the labor allotted to him and pocket the
wages, but who upon every possible
occasion at the polls would vote and

proceed lpgs of Congress that Southern
Senator (Mr. Beck of kentuckyO MN

might name, has made comparison of
the wages paid to workmen engaged in
ship building in three of the principal
ship building nations of the world
Germany, Great Britain and the United
States. The following table clipped
from the Chester "Times," an enterpri-

where Mr.. Roach's works are located,
tells the whole story:
