| Inc working people VINO AZ the ap-
proaching election vote for Grover
Cleveland and free-trade, vote in
reality that they shall be the inmates
of a poor house in the closing years Of
their lives. The poor house, or in
England called the workhouse, is the
logical incident of the ending Of British
free-trade. Cheap production is the
very soul Of the accursed theory of
free-trade, and cheap labor must con.
sequently follow. There is no human
possibility of the working men and
women of England Saying up out OF
thei- earnings sufficient to keep them
when they grow old. Indeed, they
never'think of doing this, and knowing
that the work house is sure to be their
home in the end, they contemplate the
change without shame or reluctance.
Use and despair com lned to reconcile
them TO their lot, and what to an
American is a humiliation and a
horror is to them solace in the closing
OF labored and unhappy life. To the
fathers and mothers of these enslaved
victims ofa free-trade no other refuge
or home looms up before them than the
poor house. Some statistics have
been gathered of the terrible poverty
of the cloth making district of England
last year, and to those we would
earnestly ask the attention of our
workingmen who have some thought
OF voting for Cleveland and free-trade.
In this one district alone $4,000 opera
tives received relief" In this small
district of less than six hundred
square miles, there are twenty seven
work house Unions having capacity
for S,195 factory paupers. 1t is just
the same in the. iron districts, and
amongst the cotton, silk, hard ware,
cutlery, porcelain and pottery districts.
The poor house attachment to low
wages and miserable living exists
everywhere in England. British free
trade starves and robs its laborers and
and buries them in paupers' graves.
Those who want such State of affairs
in this country will vote for Grover
Cleveland as the most direct way to
get what they vote for. This cloth dis
trict referred TO, must os the district
from which the cheap cassimers come
that Mr.. William Dean refers to in
his communications. Cassimers and
cottops should be manufactured cheap
where the operatives wages send them
TO the poor house. England wants to
make the United States like herself,
great free-trade nation. If free-trade
IL established in the United States,
England will run in her cheap goods
made by poor house labor, and then it
will not be long before the United
States will want more poor houses and
less schools. England is solidly in
favor of the election of Grover Cleve
land, and as a consequence those who
vote for Cleveland, vote solidly in favor
OF England, cheap manufactured arti-
cles and poor houses instead of school
houses and churches. Voters remem-
her this
has ANY BODY ever heard of Cleve-
lai d ye, saying whether he was in
favor Of free trade or opposed to it |?
We 60 not believe they have. He is
masquerading under false pretenses,
prepared to favor tariff or free-trade
as circumstances may require to Sc
cnre the most votes.
Has anybody ever heard of Blaine
saying whether he was in favor of pro-
lection or free-trade ? We rather think
the Whole people of the United States
wnnld rise up en- masse and say yes. !"
This is true. There is no cowardice in
james G. Blaine. He speaks ont in a
manly manner ON the ouestion of n
