night last the Republicans of this
State and city made the greatest effort
of the present campaign in the fern of
u parade, and 1t IS conceded that they
made a respectable showing. having au
Immense procession OF some Eve tson-
rand people mounted. in EGgous and
on foot. Mnpy buildings were sails
decorated with bdutinS aud days. aud
taken as "a whole the pageant was I'M
po ing. II lacked, however, outhusi-
asn and nearly one half of those who
turued out were working men forced to
do SO. or lose s~ituatious; the other
half was composed OF representatives Of
our factories who parallel their wagons,
etc. as an advertising expsd!eut. Such,
iu u few words. vas this long talked Of
Observation-Disclosures de nou,trHtion.
Now that Cleveland has twisted the
British lions tail until it hOvled, Ohio
lion, not the tail.( aud the Democrats
in Congress have given Us q bill that
will forever settle the Chinese inni-
grafton question, California may be
safely counted upon 10 give her electo-
raj vote for Cleveland and Thurman.
In sporting circles here bets are freely
offered that Cleveland will carry this
State, and the Republicans are using
every effort, both fair and foul, to pp-
vent the cyclone that Will surely sweep
the party from tie country. II * quite
amusing to see how the Republican
journals ARE trying TO steal ull the glory
for the Scott restriction bill, but tie
facts are so we'll kuoSa here that their
buster avails them nothing.
When "A Republican begins to cry
Free-Trade, and the peEnicious re-ul:s
of the adoption Of the Mills hill and
openly asserts that the wages Of work
ing men will be reduced below living
figures, ask him The following ques-
tions:
Did you ever se' n man who got more
wages on account o! n protective tariff!
If \ protective tariff keeps up wages,
Why has no: YOUR party doubled that
tariff, aRi consequently doubled wages?
Why has every Republican President
since Grants FIRST term recommend i'll
his annual message u reduction Of the
tariff on Decrssitie,:
Why does Eng.aud pay her wage
workers higte. wages than any other
European power:
Why a million men have been Oh: OF
work under the high tariff?
How protection protect SoTkiugneu
When ChiUese e9me in duty iErei
Why wcrkinRmen eaTn higher day
wages in unprotected than in protected
indu-trie,?
Why rice is taxed more tn.n lis Per
cent. while diamonds are taxed only 10
per cent?
Why the longer the high tt'iE con-
times the thicker becomes the plaster
OF mortgages upon the farmers land:
II is a Nell known fact that the cor
porations which employ nAuy men are
constantly cutting down wages and de-
clhring dividends to stockholders, ami
It is likewise we'll known that the OBJ
ject OF NIL corporations II t. secui cheap
lator and tLst nearly all corporations
and trusts favor a high protective ;arif.
Now il the N;lI, hill reduced wages, as
claimed, would not the said e0.pura-
lions endorse II A. once. and thus Sc
cure cheaper labor? A protective tariff
benefits only The rich man, and the
more the tax the more the poor mau
has to- pay for his actual necessities.
These are only n few ont of many Of tee
inconsistencies OF the present tariff
schedule.
