worthy of the recent accessions in
New York is Edward Jordan, the

leading republicans of New York

Havana, Cuba, Oct. 4.-Cries of
murder were heard coming from a
groser's store Early yesterday morn

Mr. Harry Garfield, son of the late
President Garfield, said recently to
a New York Herald reporter:
Il know of no better way to learn
my fathers opinion on that subject
than by reference to his speeches. I
know of nothing he said which was
opposed to the expressions he made
use of in congress. AS early as 1866
he formulated a theory upon the
tariff which I never knew him to vary
from. Perhaps the shortest way to
reach that opinion is by reference to
the congressional Record"
He then read from a scrap book
an extract from a speech delivered
by General Garfield in 1871 before
the congressional committee having
a tariff reduction bill in charge. In
it General Garfield said:
II hold that a properly adjusted
competition between home and for.
eign products is the best guage by
which to regulate internal trade
Duties should be so high that oul
manufacturers can fairly compete
with foreign products, but not sc
high as to enable them to strik.
down our foreign products; enjoy>'
monopoly of the trade and regulate
prices as they please. This is m,
doctrine of protection. If congress
pursues this line Of policy steadil,
we shall, year by year, approach NOR
and more nearly to the basis of fre
trade, because We shall be NOR
nearly able to compete with othe
nations on equal terms, I am for pre-
lection which leads to an ultimat
free trade. I am for that free trad
which can only be acquired throug

After the music and prelim-
inaries were over the convention
proceeded to the nomination of
candidates for the various Offices.
The number of candidates were
few, and hence the selection did
not require great amount of time,

REPUBLICAN papers are with

and found Samuel possessed of Is
horses worth 100000 and q cattle
worth $345.0O and 12 hogs worth
$500 and 200 sheep, worth $4,000
and other things Of value, which
could be used to advantage in edit
eating the people into the belief
that the way to become wealthy
and prosperous is to pay high taxes
and protect sheep. 1t is thought
that Mr.. Bay can be induced to
provide bountifully for those who
are willing to appropriate every
cent their friends have for the pro-
lection for his sheep.
Next William Wallace of Green
Tp., was nominated for Infrmary
Director. The party wanted Wal
lace to set itself right with King
Carnegie : Of Pennsylvania and
Scotland, who has Of late enter
tanned some doubts concerning the
fealty of Levi, and Sill, and them,
to the great American doctrine
of protecting his Iron and Steel
Trust. Besides William wanted
the nomination, because he had
been defeated by Andrew Wright
last year, and is possessed with an
unquenchable desire to see how
much worse Matthias can beat him.
Then they wanted L. d. Vickers
to run for Prosecutor, but Lorenzo
declined in Vplapuk.
Next Dan Ryan told them that
the wicked Democrats wanted to
give the Country to England and
convinced them that it was the
wrong thing to do, and that it
ought to be given to the Trusts
who would protect it from the
Bloody Hinglish and Democrats,
and the g. o. p. clapped its hands
and stamped its feet when he sat
down. Levi then told them how
to make iron out Of a hill and they
clapped and stamped some more.
Then they carried Hooking county
and the rest of earth and adjourn

protected.

still insist on wiping their noses on

The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1888-08-25
The l'arif and Labor

In this campaign the Republicans
are loud in their assertions that
the tariff is specially intended to
benefit the laborer, and were 1t not
for its influence he would be de-
graded to the condition of the la
Dor in the crowded districts of the
countries of Europe. The labOrer
will be required to accept the
statement without question and be-
lieve it without reason. But pause
a moment and think. If you are q
laborer you are endowed with q
mind are able to reason from cause
to effect. How does a tariff in
crease your wages ? Now don't listen
to anything else until you have
solved this problem and can see
for yourself how the tariff in
creases your wages. Tariff is a
tax levied upon imported articles
and consequently increases the
price of the imported articles to
the extent of the tariff duty, and
this is true whether the rate of
duty be high or low. Not only
does it do this in the imported ar
ticle but it enables the manufac-
turer of the same article in the
U. s. to raise the price of the
home product to the same extent
to purchasers within the Union.
This is the true idea and extent
of protection. But how does that
process increase your wages? A
is engaged in the manufacture of
pocket-knives, on which the tariff
is SO q, and this increases the
price of the imported pocket-knife
worth 80 cents in Liverpool, to 70
cents in New York, and also ena-
ables A. to raise the price of his
knives of the same quality to rs
cents also. You are working for A,
but does the fact that he has been
enabled to increase his profits
also increase your wages? Is it
hard to see that the wages you re-
ceive are governed by other con-
tingencies. How long would you
be able to MAINTAIN your rate of
wages or even your position if
another workman equally SIX illed
could be obtained at a much lower
rate? Labor like the power of an
engine is a commodity the value of
which is fixed by the unvarying
law Of supply and demand, and it
is not in the power of civil law to
avoid the decree, aud hence every
tax, tariff, duty, or protection,placed
on articles of necessity is burden
on labor of all kinds and decreases
wages to the same extent that it
increases the price of commodities.
1t requires no argument to
laborers who have work.
ed for companies who a few years
ago kept "pluck me" stores in
which their laborers were require
to deal. The real fact is that lab
orers are robbed of their earnings
instead of being benefited by the
tariff.

Keen Them for November,

Republicans should not wipe
their noses on the flag handker-
chiefs, for they will need them in
in November to dry their tears.

dent. Poor Blaine, he cannot be

Will do Him Tn.

Harrison's Chinese record and
his speech to the strikers will do

not be surprising if it were hauled
down and another substituted.

New York Letter.
Ann l6 Is

Aug. 25, 1883.
On or about July 1st every New
Yorker who can afford it and many
who, cannot, puts up the boards in
front of his front doors and win
dows and takes himself and family
to the country. The conversation
of an afternoon gathering of ladies
up to January 1st, of each year con-
sists mainly of where they spent
the past summer and after the
first of the year the question of
where the next summer is to be
put in commences. 1t has become
what is known as a Bowery "fad"
to constantly refer to the summer
vacation as the chief aim of man
and the poor fellow who has to peg
away throughout the year in the
hot city is the object of pity from
all. Everything outside Of New
York City is "the country" so an
outing within sight of the city
serves the purpose.
| There is no place where holidays
of all kinds are more universally
observed than here, and in the
good old fashioned way. This per-
haps is because the people are all
hard workers and when a day of
recreation and rest comes they en-
Joy it.
The political situation is puz-
zle to all, and there probably never
was such uncertainty of the result,
three months from election, as this
year. No question of cause enters
into the discussion except the tar
if and as the Democracy have set
tied down on the Mills Bill, which
makes very moderate reduction
of but 5 per cent. in duties, the Re-
publicans cry of Free Trade has
but little force and it is evident al
ready, that the absurd claim that
the Mills Bill is free trade meas
ure cannot be sustained.
A few years ago came east on
the train with the Professor of Po-
litical Economy in the University
of Buenos Ayres and in speaking of
the tariff he. pointed out the fact
that his country produced grade
of wool from which the fine broad
cloths 'diagonals', ETC., from France
were made and that wool suitable
for the manufacture of these grades
of cloth was not and could not be
grown in the United States. South
America was prevented from send
ing this woolin the raw state to
the United States to be manufac.
tured by reason Of the tariff. Con-
sequently it wSs sent to France
duty free, made into cloth by the
French workmen and then sold to
the people Of the United States to
the amount Of $4O, $780, 900. per anum
ON which amount there was paid
