The free trader says the American la
bOrer Is worse to day than the labor OF
Europe. Indeed: ane any of them going
back? we haven't head that they were.
JUST ask your free-trade neighbOr how
it is that you can buy as good a pocket
knife today for 40c, as You could get
twenty FIVE years ago for 500. IL he
don't know, just explain to him that tar
if protection did 1t.
PAUPERlsM was never so great in Eng
land as at the present time, why? for
the simple reason that under a protec-
tiOn tariff we have built up our mama
featuring interests, SC that we now
make most af the goods we used to bring
from her.
In 1860 the wheat product of the
United States was only 173.104.924 bush
els, in 1880 it was 459,479,505 bushels.
This unprecedented increase was due to
the rapid development of the country,
under a system Of tariff that protected
American labor.
In 1860 the farmers of the UMited
States produced 760.944,5i9 bushels Of
corn, a large portion of it went abroad.
In 1880 the product reached the enOr-
nous amount of 1,754,861, 535 bushels,
most Of which was consumed at home.
1t was prOtectiau of American labor
that made the difference.
In 1860 the immigration to this conn.
try was 150,237, in 1881 it reached 669,
431, mechanics, farmers, and labOrers
from every civilized nation almost, and
why? simply because the mechanic and
laborers in this country get more mon
ey for his labor, can get better food, can
have better educational facilities for his
children, and have better homes than
anywhere else under heaven and the
protection tariff has made it so.
The Detroit Evening Journal says Of
the Ohio elections:
1t is tolerably safe 10 predict that if
the Democrats count on OhiO's electoral
vote next November they will reckon
without their host, and tho State will 20
40 it has always gone in n
Presidential year.
The Independent press of the country
have the same faith in the resnIt OF the
next fall that Republicans have.
Tue Democrats profess good principles
bnt in no instance have they fulfilled
heir pledges made to the people WHEN
securing votes, 10 municipal or national
affairs. They have never breOked olpu
'ition, or prejudice in any advanced rO-
'iti0u. They can't grow. they never I'D
'ance. On the other hand the Repuhli-
IAN party has redeemed every pledge it
,yer made and yaliantIy achieved every
progress made by the nation in the d.
ectiOn of human rights and broader lib
rty since Goddess of Justice aud
tight threw forth the stars and stripes.
THE expenses of the wal made it nes-
ossary to raise enormous sums of mon
y. 1t was decided between Internal
Customs revenue as squitabIy IA it
Ould be. These revenues have been cut
own from time to time as circumstan-
20 would permit, uEtil the Internal
pirituOus and ma liquors and tobacco,
nd the receipts from customs for TIE
asst ten years have only averaged oar
undred and sixty. five millions. Very
lany of the goods upon which an i'm
crt tax was necessary are now wholly
zee.
