and as far as accomplishing anything
might as well remain at home and send
their votes in letter to the secretary
Of the convention.
Another trouble with Southeast Mis-.
souri,, which must have ebeen.mauifest
to the most casual observer, is that il
is not in the habit Of sending its best
men to the conventions.
1t was stated in a st. Louis paper
last week that the Democratic State
Central Committeeman from the four.

east Missouri was for Marmaduke for
Governor. Southeast Missouri should
not be committed for Marmaduke or
any other candidate prior to the as

Manufacturers, Profits.

The protected manufacturers In the
East are complaining of the depressed
condition of trade, the diminished de-
mand for their fabrics and the low pri-
ces. They cannot manufacture fabrics
at the present rates; there is no profit {
in the business; the market is glutted
with iron, steel, woollen and cotton
goods, and unless wages are reduced
they will be compelled to close their
mills for the winter while they work
off the surplus stock on their hands:
and so, they are proposing to their op-
eratlves a general cutting down of wa
ges 10 per cent.
What they say is partly true. Trade
is depressed and prices low, and there
is little profit in manufacturing at
present. But the protected manufac-
lures forget to tell us one thing; that
from 1879 to 1882, they did an enor-
nous anu very profitable business,
easily disposiug of all the iron. steel.
woollen and cotton fabrics they could
make at prices nearly double the cost
Of making them. These enormous
profits they put in their pockets,
They did not share them with their
laborers. They paid only moderate
wages, although they were making
large dividends on their investments.
Protective duties gave them control Of
the home market and they squeezea
everything out of it they could get.
In many cases they made in one year
profits sufficient for two, and I'M the
four years, from 1879 to 1882, inclusive,
enough for eight years. In their
greedy zeal to make money they glut-
ted the home market aud broke it
down-and now they tell us theysmust
reduce wages or close up their mills.
1t is an easy thing for these protected
favorites, with their pockets filed
with the fruits of a four years' profita-
ble business To go into winter quarters
for three months; but how Is it with
the thousands of operatives who have
saved little or nothing to support
themselves on during the winter?-
