NO PRBB TRADE FOR THEM.
To the Editor Of The Press.
sIR: We were strAight-cut Democrats
until this last convention. We have no
use for Free Trade, as we are Americans,
and feel proud that we are. We can not
vote to injure American interests, there
fore, we ore going to vote for Harrison
and Morton and Protection.
While we arc voting for Protection for
the American manufacturer we are
also voting for Protection TO the
American labnrer. We want our votes to
protect us from foreign pauper labor.
" bile we protect tie manufacturer he
must also protect us, and the only way to
do this is TO put a Hunt on all foreign inn
migration, and that will stop all chances
of cheap foreign labCrers undermining
the American. As the Republican party
ism ow the champion Of American labor
we intend TO vote for II for the hrst time.
Please let one OF your carriers.leave The
Press every morning AZ our home. Yours

MY DEAR SIR: Your kind letter of
February rs has been received. | ami
very much obliged to you for the kind in.
terest which you take In my behalf. You'll
knew me well enough while here to know
that am no schemer for place, and |
have not fallen from grace In that respect
since you left here. I did vote with
the great body OF Republicans In the Sen. (
ate against the Chinese Restriction bill as
II was called. IL seemed to me then TO
be in violation Of our treaty with China, I
and Il was little hard for me 10 let 20 Of
the old Idea that this was the free home 1
OF all corners. think there has been
very general change of sentiment on that
subject since. We do not need to ask /
anybody TO come to this country now, as
we formerly did, aud | think We have a
right to preserve our own institutions by |
oxe. elsing lair election as TO who shall /
come here. do not like that class of l
immigration that comes here In gangs,
that can be driven into pens and on shipS
board and hired, not by personal coi- I
tract, but by bosses, and the Cbi-a.e i'm
migration is very much 5t'tnis sort. Very
truly yours, EESJANIN HARRisoN.

Those Democrats who Imagine they1
can elect Cleveland by putting up money
and betting two to one on his election
may come cut ct the little end of the
horn next November. We advise ali true
Republicans to treat this sort Of barroom
sWagger with the contempt It deserves. II 1
the Democracy wants to lull itself into an
imagined security by such methods as
these by all means let 1t do 1t. It Is the
very essence OF folly for Republicans 10
acc ept bets of this kind. When we come
TO face the facts the Democracy have not
90 much TO swagger over as some mem
bers OF that party imagine. While the
Democracy swagger let the Republieans
work. lie. them show up the Mills bill
in every district in this city and in every
schoolhouse in the state. Let them point
out the real Significance Of Cleveland's
message, and above all let them impress
upon the people of the doubtful states
that this message and the bill is only the i
beginning, only the entering wedge. Bad
and destructive as it iB 1t is only the in 1
auguration Of the Free Trade policy f
which will follow.
