soon pat an end 10 the labor troubles OF
this country. This IL could do by Two
simple enActments, ono to raise the
tariff ON Imported goods that could be
MAnufAcfured In this country 90 high
that there can be NO competition with
European cheap labor, and another 70
prohiblt the Importation OF cheap labor.
The most prosperous days for both
uanufnctsrer and lAborer since the
wAr closed was whsn there was NO
oempstation with foreign imported
Foods, and when there was no imporea-
tion Of cheAp European labor, The
var tariff ezclusivsly set apart America
fcr Ameri@ns and By Americans We
mean beth native and adopted Amert-
cana A man nsver becomes an
AmericAn citizen In the true sense OF
the word until he becomes nasaralized
and accustomed 70 the habits, manners
and customs Of the country. The cheap
imported lAborers OF the country do not
o. Q general rule become nAturaiized
nor good ciisenA They were NOT
brought hsrs for that purpose, bat for
the purpose because they were willing
20 work cheaper, Of crowding out hon.
est American labor. This 10 one OF
the causes that disrupts labor and
capital In this country ct tho present
time A common sense and q CON-
mon humanity demand that that prac-
tice shall cease aud be made 10 cease
by legislative enactments. Equally
potent Is The demand that Congress
shall cease tinkering ut the tariff for the
purpose OF 10 wering the duties on i'm
ported goods, and II the present Con
Rress does not cease, the people will
have TO take the matter in hand and
elect q Congress that will leEislAts
more for the benehs OF the United
States than for England. Imported
goods Manufactured by cheap Labor
itself are twins that II left 70 grow M
together In this country will sap the
foundations not only Of our industries
bat the foundations OF our political In
satuions. They do not In their natur'
belong TO this country and therefor
cannot grow up In peace. Congress
must keep them In their oHR country
1t 10 all the veriest nonsense 70 tai
glibly and largely about America want
ing the markets OF the world openet
up-.hst she must compete with Eng
land, France, Germany and all tn
cheap labor countries Of Europe. Tn
markets Of the world for the Unite
States mean the cheap pauper labor c
the world for the q nited States, and b
who is too blind to zee this does nc
use his eyes to . good advantage. Tn
United States 10 little world OF i.sel
and II 1t has control OF Its own market
Is has more mouths to hll and backs
power than any nation In Europe e.
0set Russia. The United States ca
never compete in the markets Of Il
world with cheap labor nations with
out adopting the Same cheap lab
plan. This the Morrison. Carlisle tr
trade cabal ct Washington Is trying
do. They are trying to open up 1
markets Of the world by desfAdil
labor. Will the people OF this count
permit them to do so? Fortunately {
Senate OF the United States stands
the way Of the cheap labor scheme,
this is a narrow escape-soo narrow
deed even TO be repeated, and the wor
ing people Of this country will ha
thense,vss to blame for 1t II ey
another fres trade House Of Rspresen
dives Is elected 70 disturb and pAral!
the industries Of the country.
