lence." In what consists the induce
ment This government-stolen profit
only panders to the greed for gold.
The very history Of tariff Legislation
shows that the more that is given the
more is demanded, and wages are only
advanced, If at all, because the uni
versatility Of the tariff code so height,
ems the cost of living that capital is
now and then forced to augment wa
ges TO an extent proportionate to this
increased cost Of the nearest necess-
aries Of life. Otherwise labor and
starvation, as contemplated under the
guardianship Of protection would
be convertible terms.
Protection only arms capital with
omnipotence, enabling it to command
labor to do its bidding on its own
terms. The should be no war be-
tween capital and labor; bnt since
there is, we would not have the gov
ernment give capital gilded fifty per
cent. baton OF authority with which
it seems to strike and paralyze the
brain and muscles of toll, making it
believe that General Hancock was its
enemy when he Is and was it, truest
friend.
When Unsuitable cupidity, growing
with what 1t feeds upon, is less over
mastering than direst woes of poverty
and hunger, then let labor dream in
perfect blessedness that capital shares
with it's benefactlons of the tariff sys-
tenn. 1t is vain delusion, barren
ideality, an unmixed falsehood.-
