Contemplate Campaign Work.

The so-called political pay en-
volopcsn have reached this city, and
the employees in several of our factories
have been compelled TO accept their
wages in them. These envelopes are
u libel and fraud, and the uoe OF
them by manufacturers is very dirty
business. II is, il not technical
breach OF the law, at least a violation
OF the intent OF the statute against po-
litical intimidation. The envelopes
have been manufactured by tho en-
velope syndicate, and have been paid
for presumably by the Republican
National Committee and by them dis
tributed TO Republican employers. II
Democratic manufacturers resorted TO
such methods what howl would be
sent up from Republican organs! 1t is
a mean, despicable imposition, de-
signed TO intimidate the workmen into
voting for the Republican ticket. But
the trick won't work. The wage
earners know where their interests
lie. They can not be scared and
coerced by such scaly devices and
tissue lies as those perpetrated by these
''pay envelopes. They will rebuke
at the polls theparty and the men who
stoop to such dirty and underhanded
methods of campaign lying. The "po-
litical pay envelopes" will work out
their own retribution. - Waterbury

An Election That Shows How worlxin

An Election That Shows How Working
| Men Arc Going TO Vote.
The city OF Newark, N. j., is city
of working men. 1t is one of the
largest manufacturing centers in tho
United States. 1t is the place where
the free-trade" scare was played for
all it is worth, and where the high
takers hoped to repeat 1880 over
again. Besides this, it has always
been Republican city. Not in thirty
years has it gone Democratic in a
Presidential year. Four years ago it
went Republican by 1900 majority,
On the 9th the Democrats carried it by
700 majority.
During the campaign the only ques-
| tion debated was that of the tariff, and
the Republican managers left no
means untried to frighten the working
men into voting the Republican ticket.
They resorted even to the dastardly
trick OF printing on the pay envelopes
OF the workmen that lower tariff meant
lower wages, and that they must vote
the Republican ticket If they wished
to keep wages up. Every thing that
meanness, as we'll as shrewdness,
could devise was resorted to, and it all
failed. The working-men do not in
tend to be bulldozed this year. They
are beginning to understand that their
wages do not depend on the tariff. but
on supply and demand; that employers
reduce wages whenever they can, and
will always hire the cheapest labor
they can find. They know that 1t is
better for every body that the neces-
saries of life should be cheap, and they
see that the tariff is tax that makes
the necessaries Of life dear. They are
understanding these things this year
better than they ever understood them
before, and they are voting according
y.
The election in Newark shows how
the working-men are going to vote.
