Council at Chirago, Abandons Cfeve-
land and Free Trade.
One of the strongest labor unions in
| the country is the Carpenters Council
at Chicago. The president of this union,
Mr.. Hugh Hogan, in q recent letter
calls upon all its members to vote for
Harrison and Morton, declaring that
they are worthy the support of every
workingman who loves his country and
his home. The letter can not fail to
have AN important influence on the cam
paign because of his position and inilu-
ence among the wage-workers. Refer
ring to the principle OF protection he
says:
You must bear in mind that your inter
est is for your home, for your wife and
children and for protecting your wages
You never can do this IL you vote for free
trade or To reduce the tariff. My working
brothers. try ana think that in the Audi
torium Building WAS nominated man
who has always been friend to the labor
ing man; man who believes in protect
ing your wages; - man who believes in
protecting your homes and your families:
man who believes in protecting Ameri-
can industries; n man who has IA record
that is pure, honest and upright. His past
life and his noble career should make him
a favorite with all working men. Born
as he was, in the midst of our grandest
scenery, = true American citizen, partak-
ing in the great struggles of labor's des-
tiny, he naturally feels an interest in
what concerns the laboring man. In the
late war he played prominent part, and
led the noble boys in blue To victory. He
mas always taken u stand for the right,
and he is rs firm for the rights of us labor
ing men as when he wore the true
blue on the Southern tattle-fields BOYS,

Democrat
BUT NOT a CLEVELAND DEMOCRAT.
| am a true Jefferson, a Madison, a
Monroe and Jackson Democrat. Every
one OF these were for protecting American
industries. Jefferson in his message TO
Congress in 1904 urged that body 10 enact
stringent protective laws. James Madi-
son ia 1912 told Congress we never could
become an independent nation unless we
protected our home interests. Andrew
jackson, in his message 10 Congress in
1929, urged the protection of American in
dustries against foreign manufactures
Now, brother workingmen, | want yon TO
compare the messages OF those three
Democratic Presidents with the one sent
To Congress By Grover Cleveland, Dec. g.
1857.
Look ut the blanket contracts given to
England by this administration. Our
manufacturers bii was 80 cents less than
the English bid. Look at this. England
paid no duty ON her blankets to this gov
ernment, and she paid her laborers for
making them 80 ~ week. Our men in
the United states received for the same
week 3 pay, for labor of the same kind,
Sl5. Marx the difference This is FREQ
trade for you. II England is allowed to
bring her goods in free of duty. just so
sure our manufacturers must cut down
our wages. Not only that, but look Mt the
money England takes away from this
country.

Now "a to tho surplus in the treasury.
Look at the report of Mr. Farchilu, the
Secretary of the Treasury.

was koiS. W., 43o.26, the total expenditures
SSl5, $50 42S. H. Subtract and you have
what was in the treasury after the expen-
ses OF running the government were paid
out. IL any man says differently, he lies.
Don believe him but look for yourself
Look at Cleveland's message, that Is. his
statesman-like message delivered To Con-
gress Dec. 9. 1887 He says that on June
50, 1885, the excess OF revenue over the ex-
penditure was S1T $50, 735; the following
year it was $i9 405, ,545 and the next wear

his message. President Cleveland tried
to scare the people by telling them this
spring that there was a surplus of Si40,-
100000. Some one lies | dare any free
