IN LABORS BEHALF.
General Secretary of the Knights OF
Labor Comes Out for Protection.
WASHINGTON. Aug. g

WAsHINGTON, Aug. 80.
Senator Quay, chairman of the republican
national committee, has received loug let
ter from Charles Ii. Litchman. general Sec
retary of the Knights of Labor, which he
has furnished for publication. In it Litch-
man says substantially that the republican
party in its declarations is nea er the de sires
of organized labor than the democratic party
as the former would foster and encourage
the labor of our own people and retain for
them the market ard wages of our own
country, while the latter would break down
the barriers of protection and throw open
our home market to foreign productions and
labor, making our toll, RS idle and reduCe
American wages. He favored restriction OF
immigration and prefers that Ameri-
ca should be the land of workers
rather than land of thieves and paupers, as
whatever affects the individual is equally
true of the nation. After stating his reason
why he takes this course, he concludes ::
Therefore to you and your associates on the
national republican committee as represen-
tatives of the republican party, | offer my
services in any position or capacity where
they may be desirable and be thought
useful in securing the success of Harrison
and Morton, the repre- sentatives in this cam
paign of the American idea of protection and
American labor.
