Republican Alliance men who are

applied to paying off the debt, leaving only
90 cents for running eXpenses), and Indiana

Congressman Milliken claims that
the Democratic party is pursuing "a
sectional policy" intended to subject
New England to the competition OF
"cheap Canadian labor" New Eng
land is already subjected to this COM
petition. Cheap Canadians have been
brought over the line to work in its
mills and factories and to man its fish
ing vessels. The total number of Can
adams induced to come to the United
States is estimated at 56S 900, and New
England has nearly all of them. Its
labor is Canadian or European OF the
cheapest kind. Canadian goods that
would undersell New England goods
are kept out, but there is no way of
keeping out Canadian labor that un-
dersells New England labor.-Repub-

President Jones, of the st. 10. Lead
Mines, a beneficiary of the tariff which
robs the poor co nsumer to still further
enrich his millionaire employer, calls
President Cleveland "free-trader,"
and naturally stands aghast at his tex
treme tariff views" Any reduction of
tariff taxes is of course "extreme" to
Linn who marks up his profits in &C
cordance with the exaltation of taxa
ton; but how about the consumer who
is robbed by it? While President
jones' self-interest makes him tariff
to the skies" advocate, isn't the man
who voluntarily votes to fleece himself
in order to add to President Jones's
overlooking Golfers, a fool and dupe?
