Mary went to play one day; Her mother said she could not go; But Mary she would have her way And that's what caused poor Mary's woe. For MaTy's mother brought her back, And in her whacks there was no sham; It was in earnest whack, whack, whack Thus Mary got her little lam.

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1888-10-15
The Labor Scare.

One of the tricks of the republicans in
this compaign is to make it appear, if pos
sible, that democratic sue ess means stag.
nation in business and lower wages for
workingmen. They tried to work the same
| trick in 1884
During the campaign Of that year, the
| New York Tribune requested certain re-
publican manufacturers in New Jersey to
answer this question: ''In case Cleveland
should be elected to the Pres dency in No
vember, and the democrats should have a
majority in congress and free trade
speaker in the House, what, in your opinion,
would be the effect on your business" Fiji
teen answers were received, and were
print ed in the Tribune the day before the
election. All Of the manufacturers who
sent answers agreed that Mr.. Cleveland's
election would have very disastrous effect
upon the industries of the country, and
therefore would be highly mi rious TO
workingmen. Several of them went SO far
as to say that if Mr.. Cleveland were elected,
they would shut down their works.
Mr.. Cleveland was elected. the democrats
have had control of the House ever since,
with Mr.. Carlisle, whom the republicans
think it to their political interest to call free
trader, as speaker. More than that a tariff
reform bill, called by the republicans free
trade measure, has cen passed by the House
The country, however, is not ruined. The
manufacturers have gone right on making
money, and the workingmen have not been
injured. The fact is that Mr.. Cleveland's
administration has given TO the country
three and a half years of unusual pros
perity.
The other day the New York EUening
Post sent representative to New Jersey to
ascertain the condition of the fifteen manu-
factories whose managers in 1884 predicted
disaster if Mr. Cleveland were elected
Thirteen of them are doing more business
than they did in 1884. Two have shut
down--one because of poor management,
and the other because of its bad location.
Thomas H. Hawkins, John Z. Getzinger g.
Son, Bodine, Thomas & Co., w. Warrick,
Cox & Sons and John Gaynor, who said
they would be compelled to shut down in
the event of democratic success, forgot to
do so, somehow or other, and have made
additions TO their works.
The labor scare did not work in 1884, and
il won't work now. The workingmen of
the country have had all the proof they
could ask to convince them that they will
not be injured in the least by democratic
administration.
