Grover Cleveland, as Democratic Governor
of the State of New York, put into effective
operation bureau of Labor Statistics for
the benefit of labor in his State. The Re.
publican President of the United States, after
refusing to appoint Mayor Powderly, the re-
preventative of the Knights of Labor, and
iagreeng to appoint ] ohm Jarrett, has with
held his commission because Mr.. Jarrett was
on one occasion not obsequiesly respectful,
but exercised his right as free citizen, to
criticise the President. So the workingmen
of the country at large remain without the
benefits of n Bureau of Statistics of Labor
enjoyed by the workmen of New York State.
Governor Cleveland earnestly urged the
passage of the law prohibiting contract labor
in the States Prisons and promptly signed it
when passed.
Thomas A. Hendricks, with the aid of
leading Democratic Congressman, by per-
sistent energy, forced through Congress the

Executive violated and defied. ~

Under Democratic Administration the
amount of money held in the Treasury for
each citizen was reduced to $1.05.
Under Republican ring rule it rose rapidly
from $1.05 to Sc. A..
The Republican party finds it necessary
to hold six times as much of each mans
money as the Democratic party held.
In 10 years of DEMOCRATIC ADMIN1sTRA-
TON the MANUFACTURES of the country IN
CREASED 50 PER CENT.
In ten years of Republican Adn1Gnistrati0l
they increased only 27 per cent.
LET CITIZENS WHOSE LIVELIHOOD DE-
PENDs ON MANUFACTURES NOTE THIS FACT.
In ten years of Democratic Administra-
ton the value of PROPERTY in the United
States INCREASED 1875 PER CENT.
In ten years of Republican rule it increased
only IS per cent.
THE COUNTRY GAINED IN GENERAL PROS
PERTTY THREE TINES AS FAST UNDER Dem
oCRATIc AS UNDER REPUBLICAN CONTROL,
while the rate of increase of population was
also greater.
Taking the twenty years, from 1910, to
1860, as. compared with twenty Republican
years, 1860 to 1880, we find the increase OF
population TO have been 81 per cent. during
the former period, and only SO per cent.
during the latter.
From 1850 TO 1860 the R.lizrDads of the
United States increased in miles of track
2S1 per cent. while from 1870 to 1880 the in
crease was only ~ per cent. Regarding the
great farming interest, we find that the mum.
Der of persons engaged in farming increased
"a per cent. during ten Democratic years,
and only 90 per cent. during ten Republican
years. Under Republican rule a larger
number of farms, supported relatively
smaller number of people.
The National Democratic Platform of
1884 truly says: Under Democratic rule
and policy our merchants and sailors. flying
the stars and stripes in every port, success
fully searched out market for the varied
products of American industry. Under
Republican rule and policy, despite our
manifest advantages over all other nations
in high paid labor, favorable climates and
teeming soils despite freedom of trade
among all these United States despite their
population by the foremost races of men,
and an annual immigration of the young,
thrifty and adventurous of all nations
despite our freedom here from the inherited
burdens of life and industry in old world
monarchies-tlIeir costly war, navies, their
vast tax consuming, non-producfng stand
ing armies despite their twenty years OF
peace-that Republican rule and policy have
managed to surrender to Great Britain,
along with our commerce, the control OF
the markets of the world.

Republican Laws and the Wage.
of Labor.

The claim of the Republican party to the
the approaching election rests entirely upon
the assertion that Republican legislation in
Congress has increased wages and made
workingmen prosperous. and that a return
to Democratic control of the Government
will reduce wages and bring workingmen
to misery.
What are the facts
1850, the manufactures of the country in
creased 50 per cent, while in ten Republican
years they increased only % per cent.
Between 1873 and 1879, under Republi.
can rule, wages in many leading industries
were lower than any previous period in
