his well.paid American workingmen do.
THIS PROTECTION Is DEMANDED
because Our wages system demands Il, 50
that the American laborers and mechanics
may live as men and not as pnupers; that
they may be educated and fitted 10 occnpy
the position Of free, intelligent citizens,
and not that iof ignorant, degraded serfs;
that these men may aid In building up
our schools and churches, and that they
can educate their children and furnish
them with accomplishments that will fit
them for social equality with the best In
the land, and because, in a word, our
American civilization demands IL, '01f
a protective tariff dcvelopes our exten.

Of trade in our favor, aud keeps vast sums
Of money, from going to Europe for the
purchase OF goods that can be mauufac.

powerful defense in time OF war, The
manufactures that 1t creates in our cities
furnishes employmentto millions of Ameri.
can artisans and laborers. These not osly
build up our cities, but also build up an
enormous internal commerce, besides
making us Independent OF Europe for
those supplies needed Tor the wants of
civilized lie. These protected, well.paid
manufacturing interests attract foreign i'm.
migration, and thus increases with the

The wages new paid in Great Britain
are very nearly OF the same range OF
prices as were paid in Chicago the four
years before the War, under the Buchanan
Democratic Administration. Then, under
free trade, common laborers received be-
tween 50 and 10 cents per day, and best
mechanics between 81 and IL so per day.
MAINTAIN THE DIGNITY OF YOUR iISoR

GEN. GARFIELD WAS NOT EDUCATED
by the Govern ment, nor was his career
and course Of lie prescribed by the rules
and regulations Of war. No patornal gov

ianship over his education, or watched
over his promotion in after years. No
such favoring circumstances aided him in
the struggle OF life. Instead OF being ed |
ucated by the National Government, he
educated himself by his own exertiops,
and with money earned from severe toll.
Ills struggle in his youth OF hard pinch
ing poverty was the herculean effort of a
great mind. Nearly all OF his battles we're
fought in accordance with his own plans,
aud not on the plans an conceptions OF
those above him, and victory hes always
perched upon bis banuers. Tie greatest
men are those who conquer great difli Gull
tics and who risb above all adversely, and |
tho end, whether in the battles |
oil life or in the battles OF war.
The issue is whether the grand living
principles Of the Republican party or the |
false doctrines OF the Democracy shall
triumph. 1t is a question whether Amer
lean protection or British fyae trade shall !
prevail. 1t is question oil business and |
industrial progress, OF sound money, of |
prosperous times, and Of other grave con.
siderations in various other directions.
Now, workipglnen, if you have any
foolish party prejudices, rise like men
