Republican Tariff Reform.

The Republican convention of Grant
county, Minnesota, resolved that:
I'VE hold that the doctrine that pro-
lection protects the labOring classes of
America is a deluSion and snare:
that the labOring man of this country
necessarily completes with the pauper
labor of this whole world, while the
manufacturer is protected and made
rich at the expense of ALL"
The four Republican members of
Congress from Minnesota voted for
the Morrison bill, and the st. Paul
Pioneer Press, the chief Republican
paper of the state, says:
The protective system was first de.
signed to build up young industries
The notion that it would raise or in
any way effect the wages of labor was
a clear afterthought, induced when in
dustries were no longer young or feeble,
but when their conductors would not
relinquish the profits wrung from labor
bv high tariffs. 1t is because of the
falsehOod that the protective system
has stood by the vote of the working
men. They have learned much. AT
last they are coming at the truth. The
competition of labor with labor, espec-
tally when immigration is unrestricted
and invited, is universal. Wages are
higher in the United States than in
Europe, for the same reason that they
are higher in st. Paul than in New
York for the same reSOn that capital
which brings a return of per cent. at
the east brings per cent. at the west.
These are the opinions of one of the
greatest grain and -four producing
states in the Union and they are the
opinions of all who have given the sub
ject honest, intelligent thought. One
day they will win, as surely as the sun
shines.
