Protection of Labor.

The hypocrisy of the Republican
party on the subject of the protec-
ton of labor is so apparent that it
cannot deceive any intelligent person.
Protection of labor and protection
of capital are two distinct and differ
ent things. The protection of CAPT
tai is not the protection of labor
Far from it.
Admitting for the sake of the ar
gument that high tariff protects
the capital invested in the production
of articles on which such tariff is
laid, it does not follow that the labor
employed in such articles is protect
ed.
Experience proves that capital in
the protected. industries always takes
care of itself even at the expense of
labor.
When the natural consequence of
high tariff-undue competition re-
sulting in the overstocking of a re-
stricted markets felt in all its
malign effects, the wages of labor are
reduced, or production is entirely
suspended and the workingmen
thrown out of employment.
IF the laborers in the highly pro
tected industries should insist upon
a wage rate which they believe just,
protected capital sends abroad and
imports foreign labor under contract
In other words, the capitalist en-
joys free trade in the commodity o.
labor. The markets of the world are
open to him to procure the bone and
muscle and brain he requires in his
business.
On the contrary the markets of the
world are closed by high tariff tc
the workingman when he comes tc
buy his clothing, his food and other
necessaries of life.
How ridiculous, therefore, is the
pretense that a high tariff protects
labor l.! 1t is such protection as the
wolf gives to the lamb.

The present revenue system takes
from the people 500, OOO, 900 need
lessly every year. This sum, ifremitted
TO the people instead Of being extort-
cd from them, would buy two pairs
of boots for every man in the coun-
try with an occupation; it would buy
two barrels Of -four for every family
IN the country; it would add weeks
wages to the gain of every manual
hborer; or it would pay five per cent
on two thousand millions OF capital.
Is it o wonder, therefore, that the
Democratic party demands revenue
reform?

The Verdict Of the People.

+
now shown by figures received by
Chairman Manning of the Democratic
State committee is 1,240> The coun-
try has virtually accepted the cleo
ton of Cleveland as accomplished,
and he will be inaugurated, despite
the bluff and buster of Blaine and
his desperate and unprincipled bench
men. New York, Indiana, New Jer-
sey, Connecticut and the Solid South
give Cleveland and Hendricks their
219 electoral yotes-13 majority
It viii thus be seen that the Ma
tional Democratic party has, beyond
all doubt, elected It's candidates.
The victory is complete, the SOW
ereign will of the people has been
expressed. The verdict is, the ras-
calls must be turned out.
No fraud or continuance can again
defeat the will of the people of the
United thus publicly and deliberate
ly declared.
In spite of all this evidence of the
election of Cleveland and Hendricks,
the Republican Executive Committee
have issued an address claiming the
election of Blaine and Logan, hoping
to prepare the way for a fraud such
as prevented the installation of Til
den. ANY attempt, however, to again
perpetrate another gigantic outrage
upon the will of the people will be
met with such determined resistance
upon the part of the great body of
the American people as will send dis
may and terror into the ranks of the
condemned criminals of the Repub-
ican party. It viii be no irrespon-
sible mob, but the intelligence and
patriotism of the country rising in
defense of the institutions of the
country and the liberties of the peo-
pie, as guaranteed by the Constitu-
ton.
1t is evident that the people will
not longer have the sacred right of
suffrage interferred with by the I'M
prineipled leaders of the Republican
party. Let one electoral vote be
tempered with and it will invoke
such cyclone of Indignation as will
sweep the guilty marauders from the
face of the earth.
Gov. Cleveland says: 81 believe
I have been elected President, and
nothing but the grossest fraud can
keep me out of it, and that we will
not permit"
This expression has a significance
which no sensible and rejecting man
can fail to understand. 1t means
that there will be no repetition of
the electoral fraud of 1876. It means
that Cleaveland is to be inaugurated
peaceably if possible, but forcibly if
necessary.
The verdict of the people has been
received, and no fraud or violence
viii prevent its faithful and honest
execution. Cleveland has been elect
ed and the great honest masses of
the country viii see that he is placed

States Once clothed with the legit-

Says the Rev. f. w. Robertson !:
"Let the young be happy. Health,
spirits, youth, society, accomplish
ments,-let them enjoy these, and
thank God with no misgiving. Let
there be no half-remorseful sensa-
tions, as though they were stolen
joys. Christ had no sympathy with
that tone of mind which scowls on
human happiness: His first mani
festation of power was at maria &c
feast. Who would check the swal-
lows flight, or silence the gush of
happy melody which the thrush
pours forth in spring? Aud there
fore, my young brethren, let it be
impressed upon yOu,-noao is a time
infinite in its value for eternity,
which will never return again.
Sleep not: learn that there is very
solemn work of heart which must
be done while the stiffness of the
garden of your Gethsemane gives
you time. Now-or Never. The
treasures at your command are H.
fnite,-treasures of time, treasures
of opportunity, that grown-up men
would sacrifice everything they have
to possess. Oh, for ten years of
youth back again with the added
experience of age! But it cannot
be, they must be content to sleep on
now and take their rest"

the greatest generals the world

the men who shaped the Constitu-

A Republicans Reasons for Supporting
Cleveland.

Mr. II. K. Thurber, a prominent New York
business man and Republican in politics, has
written letter to the New York Times, in
which he says:
III for one shall vote for Grover Cleveland
for President, and have many acquaintance
and friends who have uniformly acted with
the Republican party that will also vote at
this election the Democratic ticket, and the
reasons assigned I give below. They do not
consider James G. Blaine bad man, but the
reason is that the Republican party is com
mitted to the policy OF high taxation. They
believe that the collecting 10000, 600 year
in excess of the amount needed for the sup
port of the government is wrong policy.
They believe that this generation has paid all
that it ought to do to the war debt: They
believe that every government BOND that Is
now out is needed us basis for the security
of the circulation granted the national banks
and for investment for estates, &c, that need
the highest form of security regardless of the
rate ofinterest. They believe that the paying
of these bonds, that is now reducing the ma
tional bank note circulation at the rate of
100000 to $3.50 900 every month, is mistake.
They believe that such excessive taxation
as enables our sugar refneries to sell
granulated sugar at this time to foreigners
at S340 per 100 pounds when for home
consumption they have to charge $500,
is mistake and wrong They paid high
taxes cheerfully, until such times as our
government credit stood as high as any gov
eminent in the world, when our 3 per cent.
bonds Qiable to be called in at the pleasure
of the government commanded premium,
and when they had been SO reduced that it
was an actual injury to the best interests of
the country to reduce them further. They
then expected from the Republican party
such action as would reduce onerous taxa
ton, and have been anxiously hoping that
the policy of the party would change. When,
therefore, Mr.. Blaine, the incarnation of the
high taxation policy, was nominated. and
when the Democratic party announced that
their policy would be the collection only of
such revenue as would support the govern
ment, and when they presented candidate
for our support that was known to be an
honest man, one that the tax-paying Republic
cans of the city of Buffalo selected from the
Democratic party and made mayor to relieve
themselves from dishonest gang of Republi-
cans who had long controlled the city, we
thought we could not make any great mis-
take in voting this time the Democratic
ticket. The foregoing reasons are to my
knowledge the ones that will govern the
course of many Republicans in the election "
