Repubiicanism aud American La
hurpra

There is one point which the wage oarn-
ers of the United States should ever be lr In
mind, and that is that tho policy of the R..
publican party from the first momeut of
its history has always been for the elsya-
tion of the wage-earner5 In the scale of
comfortable living. 1t has always fought
for the interests of tho laborer whenever
and wherever they were attacked. Aud eg.
pecially has 1t tried to shield our wage
workers from the ruinous corruption of tho
pauperized laborers of the Old World. It
never has and it never will consent to tho
free introduction of foreign fabrics anl
products that come in competition with the
products Of our laborers. And it never will
consent to the lowering of the standard of
living among our mechanics and operatives.
II takes tho broad ground that any honest
industrious worker should receive wages

that the amount of space devoted to the
