Here ;en we have Republican majority of
1.2l. or more than double the majority Of 1884.
and Il gain OF nearly 1000 il the Republican
| vote. compared with 1856. These figures
| tell their own story. They show that Ameri-
can workingmen are thinking for themselves
upon the great question Of the tariff. and that
no array of free trade faliaccs or theories of
| college professors can bcguile them into voting
| for pGiiry which would reduce their wages
and bring their condition down to the level of
| the iIl-paid labor of Europe. Boston Journal.
