Scene at A Philadelphia Mil.

First Partner-James, Quay writes
that we are expected to cont, ibute
$4,000 to the Republican campaign
fund and Cooper wants $4,000 more,
for the State Committee. / have also
a letter here from Rorke appealing for
funds for the City Committee.
Second Partner-Great Scott, John!
this is robbery. Every year we have
to put our hands in our pockets and
hand out thousands of dollars for Re-
publican campaign funds. I'm getting
tir d of it. wouldn't give cent to
either Quay, Cooper or Rorke.
+. Put! Tut! James, not 80 loud.
Remember this is tariff fight, and the
tariff puts millions into our pockets.
Remember that the tariff adds hund-
reds of thousands of dollars to our pro-
fits every year. We'll have 20 give
literally, James, or the politicians will
60 back on us.
s. P.-We,l, John I suppose it must
be as oou say. But how are we going
to get back all the money we give to
the Republican party'
+. P.-The usual way, James. AZ
ter the election we'll make another cut
in wages. Labor is cheap now, and
thousands are out of work, and we can
get plenty to work al our own terms.
S. P.-But. John, why not make
the reduction nowi With thousands
of foreigners arriving daily it ought to
be easy to get cheap labor at one half
what we are paying now.
+. P.-Oh, no, James; it wouldn't
do now. If the Republicans win we
needn't care how much our old hands
howl about reduction, and if the
Democrats win we can blame it on
Cleveland's policy.
s. P.-Yes, we must cut wages, any
how. We are not making more than
100 per cent. profit now, and there il
no use paying men $SAn1 $40 weel
when there are thousands OF foreigner
willing to work for $4 and $5. Be
side, it doesn't do to let the workin,
people get too independent. The high
er wages they get the more they want
+. P.-That's 80, James. The low
er the wages the more humble tn
workingman becomes. But with tn
country being flooded with cheap Er
ropean labor and foreign compepitio
shut out by the tariff, we'll be able I
get higher prices for our goods an
get our work done cheaper than evel
But no matter who wins, our emyloye
will have to pay us 81 for every Ger

trades unions which attempt to keep
