CHARLEsTowN, w. VA, Oct. Hon.
Daniel B. Lucas addressed an appreciative
audience of Democrats in the Court House
in this place last evening. he said that
the protective system was founded for tie
purpose of enabling our manufacturers to
produce articles at q fair profit, without
the competition from a foreign product,
and with the idea that competition among
the manufacturers of this country would
prevent abuses aud exorbitant profits.
The idea was to cheapen labor and thereby
enable ths manufacturer to produce the
article at less cost. But in practice the
system had been 80 abused as to be curse
to the masses aud benefit to the few. II
is now said that protection enhances the
price OF labor-a strange paradox to the
intention of the founders Of the system.
It is q known fact that labor is unpro-
tected and in free market, and in most
instances at the hand and mercy of the
greedy manufacturer, who has become
enormously wealthy by the b;nefits OF
protection. The Government gives him
protection, but it should give equal pro-
lection to every individual and do exact
and impartial Justice t, every member Ct
society.
Mr.. Lucas said further: 'No reform
can take place without some sacriite.
Somebody or se,t, or faction must give up
some in'e:est or gain. The manufacturer
must give up something to the laborer or
there Is no reform. The tariff cannot he

principles arc embodied in the Demo

After discussing strikes, the importation
of foreign laborers. and the articles Of the
Mills bill, Mr.. Lucas closed with grand
perorat:on on the honesty, integrity, man
illness and patti ,tism of President CcVe-

PORTER IS SCARED.

The Press Editor Has Little Hopes OF
Republican Success.
PHILADELPHIA, October Ga scial
dispatch from New York city to the Times
to-day has the following: lone Of the bett-
informed Republicans here is Robert P.
Porter, who aims to make his newspaper
the acknowledged organ Of his party in
New York. i was surprised to find him
not oversanguine Of Republican victory in
this State. 1t is his opinion that If the
Democratic majority in the city can be
kept down to the figures Of four years ago,
43' 600, Harrison will win. Almost any
one would agree with him in that. But
the indie atoms are that New York county
will give largely incr ressed majority, and
if the Republicans in the State can do no
better than overcome the msjority OF 1884
in the city their chances of success would
not seem to be the brightest. At least this
is the way it looks at this stage of the
campaign"

New YORK, October IA Wisconsin
friend of Carl Schurz rscently sent lettsr
to the famous German asking him If he
would not cone home and take tie stump
for Harrison. Mr.. Schurz, writing from
Forsteck, Kiel, September 18th, sent him
q reply which takes up four columns Of
to-dsy's Ereniag Post. The concluding
portion of toe letter reads as follows:
Having said this, am willing to re-
peat that as land probably most Inds-
penden's-thiUk President Cleveland
would by setting the example Of stricte't

public greater service than he has done

itI shortcomings, has, in many important

A Republican Agent Attempts to Buy Him
for Harrison.
PTTTsBURG, October Some time ago
in this city nine questions Of political
nature were sent to General Master Work
man Powderly, 10 which he was requested
to respond or stand before the public as @
man of double dealings. 1t was first
thought the questions originated in Pitts
burg, but Mr.. Powderly himself thinks
differently, and says they came direct
from ex.Secre.ary Litchman, who is now
in the political field for Harrison and Nor
ton. At this late season the General Mas
ter Workman writes District Master
Workman Doyle, of Pittsburg, letter of
response 20 the intsrrogstions.
To the first four questions Mr.. Powderly
does not reply.
Question SIS it not Q fact that you
were Offered the appointment ofthe COM
missiousrship of the department Of labor.
answer yes. The Republican party,
through some of its leaders, and, am
told, at ihs instigstion of Mr.. Blaine
himself, offered me that position in 1884,
provided would say word for Blsine,
and two weeks after the nomination Of
Harrison l was offered ths position
which Col. Wright rou holds in Wash
ington by o man who came direct
from Republican headquarters, provided
I would pull the K. OF L. of Hsrrison's 3
back in Iudisna This, Of course, was to
be my reward 10 case Hsrriso on was elected.
I am not entering into political deals, and
while thanked the man for his kindress
in remembering me, I declined to eyea
consider his proposition. That is all
know about the labor bureau.
The remaining questions are answered
collectively in the body Of the letter. Mr..
Powderly refutes the charge that he
manipulated the Minneapolis convention
in his own interest and announces that be
will not be candidate for re election to
the offics of G.. NJ. w.
