labor in this country, is going to be more fierce
between the South and the North and between
| the Republican and Democratic parties than 1t
has been for the last quarter of century. and
II the white laborine men of the North are not
willing to engage in that contest on the side OF
good wages and prosperous times. then the bat
tie against them is hopeless. And then to them
will come the inevitable, the downward equali-
cation of labor between the colored labor OF
the South and the million of white workingmen
In the North. Now, these millions in the North
land everybody is workingman IN the North
If they resolve to do it, control the policy
of this government with no greater effort than
handling small piece of paper, and If they are
not willing to handle that small piece OF paper
with It's great potency, its mighty power, so as
to protect themselves and their children, they
will look in vain for others to do it. Gentlemen,
this is no catchword of a campaign it is no mere
resource of political necessity it is not the cry
of party that expects to be victorious. 1t is
solemn, undeniable, industrial fact. Pray re-
fleet upon it.
AT Sunbury, the train stopped but few min
utes. Mr. Blaine was taken to the opera-house,
where there was an audience of about one thou
sand He addressed them very briefly and hur-
ried back to the train
At Shamokin larger crowd than at most OF
the former stopping places welcomed Mr.. Blaine
He spoke from the balcony of the hotel to over
5000 people. He said: 1.-THE question of the
future, the highest question for legislators. is
tween capital and labor be adjusted upon the
basis of fair dealing. of mutual justice and mu-
tual forbearance don't propose the Quackerv
of saying, here and now, how it should
be done, but this do say and know, that the
party whose policy raises up rivalry of two
millions of colored workmen in the South at GO
and 70 cents day, is not the party to which the
interests OF white labor be entrusted. APP
plause. do say. and l do know, that mining
coal in Virginia and in Tennessee and in other
States with colored labor ground down to
the point of four pounds of bacon and
little corn meal for a weeks rations is
not the kind of labor which the white men of
Pennsylvania are willing to live under APP
plause. And l charge that the policy of the
Democratic party. with it's free trade and its
grinding of the faces of the poor throughout the
South. has that tendency, and the first duty of
every friend of protective tariff the first duty
OF every man that believes in full days pay for
full davis work, is to stand for a protective
tariff and vote against the Democratic party,
which is the constant. unvarying enemy of pro-
tective tariff. Act upon it; vote upon it,"
