COLONEL RICHARD w. THOMPSON,
ex Secretary Of the Navy, in a speech
in. Terre Haute the other evening,
said that when he was Secretary Of
the Navy he was directed to send a
ship to New York to transport pro-
visions to famished Ireland. He did
so, but the provisions did not amount
to more than a small part of load.
"One day." said Mr.. Thompson, "a
gentleman came into my Office to in.
quire about it. That ship said he,
has got to go. Go on and get her
ready; I'll fill her out of my owp
pocket He paid fifty thousand dol.
lars toward putting bread in the
mouths of famishing families. That
man was Levi P. Morton. Tremen.

charity trumpeted to the world. He
did not seek fame because of his char

charity. [Cheers.] This is the first

ment of it."

BET ON US THIS FALL.

(7Stne Yankee Doodle.)
It's Harrison he'll be President;
You bet that he'll be there, sir.
He's no free trader, he's not afraid
To fill the empty chair, sir.
CHORUS.
Democrats, just keep it up,
Blowing in the Post, sirs.
And then you will be landed there,
Three thousand miles from coast, sirs.
Morton he will so along
For there's nothing there to hinder,
He'll win the race, he'll take his place
When Thurman must surrender.
Cleveland thinks that he's the man;
With the fat hog by the tail, sir,
He'll run apart like old hot lard
And this fall he will fail, sir.
And Thurman, too, thinks he's the chap
That wears the red bandanna,
But he'll be stuck like many an old buck
That plays in Louisiana.
Tke Pittsburgh Post is all daubed up
With Harrison slang and slander,
But we all do know it is not so,
AS you will understand, sir.

Every Workingman Should Vote
Against Free Trade.

Every laboring man can consistent.
ly vote this fall for Harrison and Nor.
ton. There has just been great labor
convention in London, England, and
it was asserted there, without contra.
diction, that there are now in Eng.
land 100000 workingmen out of EN-.
ployment, and the mills or factories
they worked in are closed or working
on short time. 1t was asserted at this
meeting of workmen that relief to
these laborers could be secured in but
one of two ways: First, they must be
assisted to the United States; or, Free
Trade must be secured with the United
States, so as to secure free admission
OF their British manufactured goods
into this country, and enable their
mills to start up. Remember, Eng.
land wants this Free Trade to the
United States, but not into her own
colonies. No laboring man can vote
this fall to favor an English policy
that will make her and her laborers
richer and us and our laborers poorer.
Our country has attained her present
enviablo prominence among the ma.
tions of the world by fostering home
industries, and whenever our protect
i've Tariff has been highest, times have
been the best. Referring to the ST.
Louis Convention and the red ban.
danas that we're woven on British
looms, the London Star said: "We
may very we'll re.echo that enthusiasm
on this side of the water, for the re.
election of President Cleveland means
the adoption Of his tariff programme" :"
Another London paper. the Econo
mist, says: "On the adoption of Free
Trade by the United States depends
the greater share of English prosperity
for a good many years to come" Do
day laborers Of this country want to
help build up English manufactures
Another English paper, The British
Hosiery RevieV, said "We venture to
assert that England will reap the
largest share of any advantages that
may arise from the adoption of the
ideas advocated by the Free Trade
party in the United States" Do ouI
workmen like TO hear such talk from
our industrial enemy? Every voter il
America should become indignant al
this British arrogance, and we should
be careful to vote any way but thu
way our enemies would have US vote

THIS from Henry WattersOn's Louis
Vile Courier Journal Of March %,
1882, shows what the Free Trade pro.
gramme was then:
The Democratic party will make a
Free Trade fight in 1884. If it loses,
it will make another in 1888.
Well, the Democratic party made a
Free Trade fight in 1884 and won by
a scratch that was purely accidental.
The Democratic party is making an
other Free Trade fight this year, aud
the judgment Of American mankind
is against it. Ifthe Free Trade boom
ers will stand their ground and make
the fight of their own choosing there
will be no complaints from the Pro-
teelionist side.

The Senate Tariff Bill.


ed upon the tariff the course dictated
by courage and by principle-always
and everywhere, in the face of great
issues, the wise and safe course. The
Republican majority of the upper
chamber accepts its responsibility to
the party and the country. To the
lodges and the deceit, the dema.
goguery aud the buncombe, the Free
Trade and free wool of the Mills bill
it will oppose measure in which Pro.
lection will be the guiding principle
aud the impartial treatment of all in
dustrial interests the guiding practice.
Before such a bill the surplus will
disappear but Protection will remain,
and trade will not be deranged and
destroyed to carry out a theory or
practice Free Trade.
Full ground existed for waiting
until December before introducing q
Republican plan for reducing the rev.
enue without disturbing or destroying
the industries of the American people.
The Democratic House has given seven
months to its work. Four months
were wasted in secret and irresponsible
intrigue and inquiry before the Mills
bill saw the light. A month was
passed in adjusting its rates to catch
votes enough to pass it. Two months
have gone by in which the caucus
vote-won and welded by sparing
each selfish interest with a voice in
the Democratic caucus--has rejected
all change and forced the bill through
the House as it was left by the caucus.
The Republican Senate might we'll
ask until December to do its share in
the work. 1t might leave the Mills
bill to the people and guide its own
action by the facts and figures which
open inquiry would bring out in the
months between the close of this ses-
sion and the beginning of the next.
But this will not be done. The tax.
payer has his claims on Congress, and
the Senate will be quick to meet them,
though the Democratic majority of the
House has for three years disregarded
them.
The Republican majority of the
Senate will place before the land 9
bill which will show that the revenue
can be cut down and the surplus Gu
off without closing mill or reducing
the value of single product of tn,
farm. The way lies clear and plain
The heavy tax on food levied on su
gar must be removed. The tobacc,
tax must 60. Alcohol used in th
arts must be freed from tax and th
profit of host of industries increased
Lastly, the inequalities of the tarii
must be dealt with, not by inereas
ingly multiplying them as the Mill
bill does but by removing and re
dressing them. Above all, an
through all and in all, Protection mus
and shall be maintained .-PhiLa. Pres

Thus it may be seen that with all
the boasted open market talk on the
part of the free traders they are quite
willing to "try it on the dog" first.
They would break up the sheep raising
industry aud the iron making Of the
North, but protect the two chief
Southern products, which are assailed
by foreign competition. The free
traders are not, therefore, as reckless
as the general application of that
term would make them appear.
Paralyze Northern industries and
foster the South is the old nullilics.
iion doctrine that had for its purpose
Southern domination of the entire
country. But while the old doctrine
of the domination of the South was to
be forced upon the country by arms if
necessary, a plan that failed when
tried, it is now attempted to be carried
into execution by specious sophistry
in the name of political economy.
The Mills bill puts the party that
passes it in a position of hostility to
the best interests of the country, and
if its passage does not affect the injury
that it threatens it will be only be.
cause its evil effects may be prevented
by the party that favors protection.

What the War Cost in Labor.

1t may be assumed that ut a mini
mum the cost of suppressing the rebel
lion was $1,000, 100000. 1t was there
fore, 81 .135. 100000 a year for seven
years. 1t has been held that the maxi
mum product Of each person occupied
for gain i'm 1880 could not have exceed
ed 5000 worth; labor and capital were
at least one-third more effective during
and since the year of 1880 than during
the period of war and reconstruction.
lfthen We value one mans labor from
1861 to 1868 inclusive at $500 year, the
work of war required the unremitting
labor of 2,270.00O men for seven years,
either in two armies or in sustaining
them. At S400 each, an estimate prob
ably nearer to the mark at that time,
the measure would be the constant
work of 1887 500 men each year for
seven years. The average population
of that period was $4,000, 900, of whom
not over one in five could be considered
an able-bodied man of arms-bcaring
age. The cost ofliberty, therefore, con-
sisted in arduous actual work at the
risk of life for seven years, of one man
of arms-bearing age In every three

foreman, in the Knights of Labor conven-
tion, nominations for secretary treasurer
were in order. Mr. Powderly left the chair

treasurer, was nominated by George Dun
can. Of Virginia Mrs. Alzina P. Stevens,
of Toledo, was nominated by W. G. F. Price.
A resolution to vote on these nominations
before adjournment had been passed, but
owing to the hour the motion was reconsid-
cred and the assembly adjourned until 8 D.
m without the vote.
Upon reassembling the vote was cast and
resulted:
Hays, So; Turner, 81; Mrs. Stevens, g.
Mrs. L. M. Barry, director and investi-
gator of woman's work, was reelected by
reclamation. General Master Workman
Powderly was chosen to represent the order
at the Paris exposition. After his reelection
to office, Mr.. Powderly took the hoor, and
stated that, although his salary had been left
at $1,000, he would accept only $1,000, and
at the end of his term the order could do
what they pleased with the balance.
As candidates for members of the general
executive board the general master workman
presented the names of A. W. Wright, of
Toronto, Ont; J. ]. Holland, of jackson
vile, Fla; John Costello, of Pittsburg; John
Devlin, of Detroit; J. A. Wright, of Phila-

ard Griffiths, of Chicago, and Delwarte, of

badges by the general assembly, the receipt
of which was acknowledged appropriately,
Mr.. Delwarte doing so in his choicest

The administration likes the composition
Of the executive board and thinks it favora-
BILE to Powderly.
A prominent miner, that has several times
caused breeze in the assembly, said that
the election of Costello, who is miner, was
thrown out as sop which the miners did
not propose to swallow, and it would RESULT
in more strained relations which might snap
at Columbus on December s. Costello is not
liked by the miners on account of his con.
nection with certain of their troubles.
