benefit to him, Is It would have the eject
Of inviting to that state wool growers OF
other states where the price was high.
Mr.. Allen Of Massachusetts spoke at
length in favor Of the protective policy.
Mr.. Ciruth of Kentucky characterized
the protective tariff as q most in
sidious enemy. It walked in silence
and under cover, and while 1t pretended
to be giving the country protection 1t was
in reality stealing its substance and de-
stroying its life. In conclusion, he re-
piled to Mr.. KeIley's criticisms upon
Kentucky, and paid an eloquent tribute
to that state.
The committee then rose.
The House then took recess until 8
O'Clock, the evening session to be for
further discussion OF the tariff bill.
There were but half dozen members
present st House evening session. Mr..
Stewart, Of Georgia, spoke against pro-
lection, and Mr.. Davis, Of Massachusetts,,
in Its favor.

Give the Authors Their Rights.
Chicago Herald.


II the people would urge upon their
Congressman some little attention to the
needs of American authors q worthy act
of legislation might be secured. The
writer's of the United States are poor.
Their works are unread. The reason Is
because the books Of foreign authors have
been stolen. The prevalent literature is
monarchical and snobbish. Every VOL
ume of Ouida has displaced some
American story whose men were
not abominAble wretches and whose
women were true mothers snd fond
wives. To the crime of preying upon q
literature of thrones and morgsnatic
marriages may be traced that slack love
truth ar d right that is weakening the
public mind. Give American authors q
chance to own their books and the nation
will prosper. Ouidas do not flourish on
this soil. Nations live longest in the
works of their authors of books. Why
should America stand alone in her harsh
attitude? The foreign trash that is now
co.ruptipg the minds and morals of the
people would be dear st any price. Much
of it finds no ssle in the place Of its origi-
nal issue.

who opened the proceedings by Offering
prayer. Chairman Griffin then followed
with an opening address. Letters of
regret were read from Joseph r Hawley,
William M. Evarts, John Sherman, and
William Window. Mr.. Griffin was ap-
plauded In his remarks which ne COL Aued
wholly to the question of getting help
from those who heretofore have
had nothing to do with the
liquor question. Mr.. Griffin introduced
General Thomas Morgan Of Rhode Is
land as temporary chairman. Morgan
made an eloquent appeal to the young
men Of the country to Join in the work OF
driving the IL faence Of the saloon from
politics. General Stewart Woodford then
welcomed the delegates. In brief he
said: There are good men In all parties,
and wish we could act together In re-
stricting the terrible liquor evil, but do
net forget that in the south we must rely
upon the Democrats to help US IN this
movement. But the traffic controls the
Democratic party in the north and they
parade under the rum banner. Mr..
Woodford said that il he had the power
ne would stop the sale of liquor alto
gether. 81 know that three-fourths of
the people OF N,w York city drink liquor.
There are not bayonets enough in this
country to enforce the prohibition of
liquor. Let US then go to Chicago and
announce our opinions and work for our
candidates"

MADISON, WIS.,, May 2.-The Demo-
cratic state convention met here yester-
day. After the other committees had re-
ported the committee on resolutions pre-
scented the following platform, which was
adopted: The Democrats in Wisconsin
assembled, heartily and fully indorse the
wise, considerate and patriotic cause of
President Cleveland. We take pride In
the manly courage with which
he has fought, protected monop-
oily and advocated 8 reduction Of
war tariff taxes, now retained
only upon the everyday necessities fthe
farmer, artisan and laborer, hsv-
ing long since been removed from
the incomes AID bank checks Of
the rich. We denounce the system Of
tariff taxes, that, while 1t creates dan
gerous annual surplus in the national
Treasury of sl55, O00. 600, at the same
time indirectly taxes the producers Of the
west for the sole benefit of the protected
manufacturers So for every dollar that
goes into the Treasury. We, therefore,
declare th.t the burden OF taxation should
rest upon those who use the luxurles,
rather than those who use only the neces-
saries of life; that taxation should be
limited to the re q ulre ments OF the govern
msnt and that taxation be reduced in
strict conformity to the principles laid
down by President Cleveland in his mes
sage to the Fiftieth Congress.

nent Chairman. The chairman 8 reference

THE DALLAS PosToFFICK.
The Dallas postcffice has long been
recognized by the people OF this city IS
nuisance. To-day q meeting Of the busl-
ness men was held and the following
resolutions were adopted:
Your committee, relative to the Dallas
postoffice, after full and complete in
vestigation, Ind the force entirely mad
equste 10 perform the duties incumbent
upon them to render an efficient service,
and that we also find that our CONNER
cial interests are being materially dam
ed from the above cause. Your COM
mittee also find the business of the Dallas
office rapidly increasing, beyond the ex-
pectations of both merchants and post
office officisls, and thattwe recommend
q material increase in the force now en-
ployed. Your committee fad that there
has been an increase Of nearly 30 per
cent. in postal receipts within the past
two years, with q corresponding increase
of business in all the other departments,
viz: Executive, money order, mail for
wsrded, mail received. stamp. general de-
livery, registry, free delivery, city
distribution, blind reading, missent,
through registry, local registry, news
paper and periodical day mailing, night
mailing, railway postal and superinten-
dent OF free delivery, while there has not
been corresponding increase of force in
the office. We find that In 1885 there
were employed thirteen persons as Office
employees and seven letter carriers.
We find IN 1883, fourteen persons IS
Office employees, and twelve letter barriers,
which roster Is suffi :ient evidence of the
adoption by the posto flee department of
your committees recommendations.
Your committee herewith append the
official reports Of our Hon. Postmaster
General and the Dallas postmaster, giving
the official Information relative to these
statements OF your committee.

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1888-10-27

The workingman in this country
who gets his two or three dollars a
day, six days in the week, hardly
realizes what is meant when he is
told of the "cheap labor" of Europe.
a writer in the Pail Mall Gazette re-
Gently visited an English chain
makers shop, and made some in
quiries Of the "best man physically
in the group" with the following
result: The man had, he said, to
work from A. NJ. to 7 P. NJ. for FIVE
DAYS a week, and to p. NJ. on Satur-
days, total of 81 hours week and
his gross earnings were 1915. He
had to pay 10 cents for blower, and
- cents dues TO the Union. His
house rent was 80 cents week. This
left him Sl.96 a week. on which to
feed, clOthe and educate his family.
lie had worked for three days to-
gether on dry bread and two small
herrings each day. II bread and po-
tatoes were not cheap, he would not
be able to live. That is the condition
Of the workingman under free trade,
and that is the condition to which
the wOrkingmsn IN this country
would speedily be reduced if Messrs.
Cleveland, Mills & Co. could have
their way.
