To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
! There is one aspect of the situation which we
have not seen distinctly stated
The traditions and the conditions of the South
tend to cheap labor. Free trade means that our
labor must compete with the wages of Europe.
Now, in the process of reduction of wages the
manufacturing labor of the North would be de-
moralized for several years. 1t will take four
to ten years to get SIS week mechanic to
work steadily for 81 week. The South will be
in position to profit by this term
of decentralization, and she can at once
bodies of satisfied labor at wages
not higher than Europe pays, and an immense
section of manufacturing, embracing the less
skillful kind would be transferred to the South,
her customs are much nearer those of England
than ours. Wealth remains permanently in a
class. Labor remains forever In the hands of
class. Free trade keeps these classes distinct.
The London Times says, ut is the policy of Eng
land to bring wealth to their country, while it is
the policy of American protectionists to elevate
and better the condition of labor" Free trade
does bring England wealth, but the wealth
remains with the traditional employer class
Labor remains forever poor
Would not free trade establish the conditions
under which the South Tould secure COM
handing manufacturing industry, and the domi-
nant class become wealthy at the expense of
cheap labor held forever in a servile class9
think this aspect of the situation deserves
the careful consideration of both Northern
statesmen and Northern skilled laboring men. |
think free trade means a transfer of a very
large part of our manufactures to the South, I'M
der the conditions of permanently poor and per
manently rich classes, and that should see,
during the reimbursement of Northern labor, the
hardest times, the greatest loss of capital, and
the most want among the poor that we have
ever seen. J. r. L.

The Prohibition-soIid-south Plot.

Tt the Editor Of the Indianapolis J1rr a.:
1.-THE Republican Party and Prohibition; by
Neal Dow" Under the above caption, in the
Monitor Journal of October II appeared a
long article, dated Maine, June II, 1884, from
which gave the extract in a former number as
follows:
I'VE know perfectly we'll how hard it will be for
those who have shed their blood and imperiled their
lives in defense of the old flag to do any thing how
individually, to intrust the nation al government
to those who endeavored TO the utmost of their
power to destroy it and to wipe the Union out from
the map of the world But prohibition never DO
obtained il any other way"
This was published, without a word of dissent
from the editor 1 am therefore justified in CON
Guiding that it is plot of that wing of the Pro
hibition party run by Mr.. Shiel & Company to
turn the government over to the Democrats 1
Immediately wrote TO a leading man of that
tSt John'sl party, calling his attention to this
article, and to my great surprise he was familiar
with the plot, and actually argues for It, de-
cline to give his name the is a near relatiNe-a
graduate of the State University In his
private letter to me he makes the following
points; Two-thirds of the whites in the South
are dependent on the labor of the blacks, who
have always been inclined to drink, making their
labor comparatively worthless to the employer;
therefore, self-interest will iInpel the said two
thirds to pass prohibitory laws to increase the
What an argument! One-third of the whites
of the South and all the blacks, and all the
North must yield the government up to these
Southern ''nigger kings" to induce them to do
well to themselves what is for their selfnter
est And then, in their wonderful magnamnity,
these Southern lords aforesaid will see TO it that
we poor creatures shall have national prohibit
toni
am no politician My name has appeared In
the minutes of the Indiana Conference
of the NJ. E. Church for forty five
years l am anxious to see prohibition
prevail. But l am never to be led after such a
will o the-wisp. My object in writing this is to
ask all my old friends, are you willing to sell out
so cheap to the Democratic party and TO the
solid South2
Mr.. Shiel g. Company bait their hook with
prohibition, but only to throw you into South
ern frying pan, as Won may see by referring to
the Montor-Iournal of October H.
You are sincere for prohibition. So am 1; but
now since the pot is laid bare. sOlemuly
promise aad swear that never will vote with
that party, so help me God and keep me stead
fast. L. FORBES.

The Good Old Free-Trade Times.
To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journals:
Speaking of free-trade times, in the spring of
lS41 l took wagon-load of good bacon to Gin
cinnati. sold about one half of it for 81. so per
hundred, tho balance for rs cents, and with my
load bought barrel of salt and twenty-five
pounds of coffee, after paying my expenses.
That summer l worked in brick yard for S. per
month. Out of that money l paid s. for a
smooth castor hat. In the fall bought young
horse saddle and bride for $40. The horse now
would he worth $3.50.
In the spring of 1912 l concluded to go to
Missouri. tried to sell my horse and l could
not get $40 My brother had taught winter
free school He let me have the $40 and that
was all L ever got for my horse. That settled
my free trade ideas from that time to this.
