WoRKINGMEN AND THE TARIFF.

II il our purpose To point out thief facts,
and the arguments derived from them.
which prove that the workingman--th
man who works for wages-is more than
all others benefited by protection, and,
therefore, most interested in maintain
ing and perfecting it. BY worklngman is
meant not only the man, but his family
and dependents. Indeed, the families OF
workingmen are the chief beneficiaries OF
the existing protective system. II the
difierentclasseso OF the people of the United
States and Of Europe are compared, as
regards their mental and physical con-
lition, their habits, modes Of life, social
surroundings, their elevation i'm the scale
OF civilization, IL IL manifest that the
widest distinction will be found to exist
between the workingmen OF the two
countries IL will also be found that
this distinction IL the greatest, the most
striking, between the families OF the
workingmen of the two countries. As
the social position OF any class liz higher,
in proportion to its advancement the
distinction between the condition Of that
class here and abroad becomes less mark
ed. The rich in both countries have the
same ad vantages-enioy the same privi-
leges. Their families have the same COM
forts-indulge In the same luxuries.
Descending the scale, distinctions gradu-
ally appear. The middle class In this
country is better off, has more comforts
and advantages, than the same class In
Europe. The women and children ofthis
class in the United States enjoy almost
NIL the privileges which are accessible TO
any 81 the most favored In the commun-
ity. n we go lower In the social scale. in
Europe, the women and children, mo- less
thnn the men, giveevidences Of inieriority
In all the traits OF womanhood and al
manhood. In this country the women
enjoy the advantages conferred by COM
pnrative relief from working for wages,
and ARE permitted TO devote themselves
20 the care Of their homes and their chill
dren. The men possess the dignity and
manlincss ofindependentc citizens. Their
children mingle with the children Of their
more fortunate neighbors In the school

LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATE.

Alonzo X. Northup, Of Escanaba, was
nominated as the Republican candidate
for the legislature from Iron and Delta
counties. In Mr.. Northup the Rcpubli-
cans have candidate that they point
to with pride. He is man Of great
ability, possesses an excellent education
and il man among men. When he first
went to Fscanaba IL was as principal OF
the high school, which, under his admin
istration, became the pride OF that city,
and second To none in Michigan. While
having charge Of the school he spent his
leisure hours in studying law and was
admitted to the bar in 1884, after IA very
thorough and rigid examination. Hav-
ing previously resigned charge OF the
school, he Immediately entered upon the
practice Of law after his admission and
has been IA successful practitioner ever
since. As candidate for the legislature
he will be very popular with the laboring
classes by whom liked and respected.

FREE TRADE PALACES AND De
TEpTION

A iavorite plea for tariff reform rs to
have placed on the free list all raw ma
terials used in manufactures. Working
men are told that the result OF thus
cheapening raw materials will be TO enable
manufacturers TO increase wages. While
one set 81 orators are preaching this to
wooden mill operatives, another set are
telling the sheep ruisers that putting wool
on the free list will So widen the markets
for wooden goods that manufacturers
will be enabled to pay higher prices for
wool, and still make money.
Aside from their inconsistency, aglance
Mt the experience OF England shows the
fallacy 81 such claims. With free raw
materials for all lines 81 their manufac-
lures, English employers pay seventy
seven per cent less wages than are paid
in the United States. This ON the
authority Of the chief al the labor bureau,
himself n free trader. To the intelligent
workingman IL thus becomes evident the

United States, cotton and silk, have all

without duty, our manufacturers last
year sold abroad but $i4. 929 ,342 OF
cotton goods, and only S52.5i3 Of silk
goods. The reasons for this are plain.

and Mt play. while the more active and
ambitious have an opportunity to nd
vance, limited by nothing but their own
powers and their own determination.
Go still lower, and the distinction becomes
still broader. Both men and women, and
their children, in Europe, are literally
slaves OF toll and hunger, working hope
lcssly and a:mlessly, looking forward to
the grave as their first and only resting
place. The family bonds and relations
barely exist, and that motive, which in
this land inspires the hours Of toil--the
hope of advancement, II not Tor the
parents. at least for the children-has
little IL any force. Here, then, do we find
the pre-eminent advantage Of our Ameri-
can protective policy. II protects the
workingman and his family. 1t saves
them from degradation and distress. 1t
makes the family relation. in all it's at
tractive qualities, possible. IL elevates
the wives and children Of the working
man. Ii relieves them, or most Of them,
from the need Of working for their daily
bread. II makes home-liie possible. IL
affords to children leisure forearly educa-
ton. and thus opens up to them endless
opportunities. The rich and the middle
CLASSES get some Of the benefits of protec-
tion. As compared with the poor and
the working people, they get but little,
and they would be nearly as well offunder
free trade, while hecondition Of the poor
would become indescribably wretched.
Our American workingmen who have
never contrasted their condition with
that OF heircompetitors under low wages
and insufficient work abroad, cannot,
and do not, realize the perils offree trade.
Let them read about their iellow-work-
men on the other side of the water, or
talk with one who has been forced to
leave his nativelind by starvation wages
and the hopeless restitution of his iamily,
and they will comprehend the danger
which now threatens them.

1.-Focign markets are already supplied
from Europe with goods manufactured
by labor which is paid less wages than
are paid in the United States. 1.-The
manufacturers Of the United States have
not been able 10 supply the wants of our
own people. as we last year imported OF
cotton goods $50, 150,O59, and Of silk
goods $31 ,264 .276. Herein amarket OF
over sec, 000, 900 within reach Of our own
manufacturers. butfrom which they have
been crowded by foreign competition, and
that amount Of money sent abroad TO
pay laborers and capitalists who con-
tribute nothing 10 the support Of our
government, and whose interest in our
welfare ceases with the receipt Of our
money.
But the fallacy 81 the alleged necessity
of free raw materials TO enable manufac-
tureis 10 export their products is all the
more apparent when we consider that
under existing tariff laws ninety per cent.
Of the duty'collected ON any material oil
manufacture will be- refunded when the
finished product isexported. This leaves
but ten per cent. difference between the
present law and absolute free trade in
raw materials, 80 faras the export trade
i'm manufactures il concerned. Why, then,
il our export trade SO limited? Because
manufactured products find better
market at home, where, under the i'm
fluence OF "a wise fiscal policy, higher
wages ARE paid for labor than anywhere
else in the world, and where "A larger per-
centaee of the people are purchasers OF
manufactured products.
England has for centuries been ON the
hunt forforeign markets, and has already
occupied all those over which her diplo-
macy OF force could prevail. Her sub
sidized steamers are blowing every sea
in quest Of trade. her emissarics are in
triguing mt every port FOR commercial
advantage. The concessions in the Mills
bill, advocate by the president and his
party, are quite as much as the American
people could be expected to grant with
out suspecting the real object of the
conspira tors, and for this reason NO more
is now demanded But with this gained,
the desire for our markets will still be
unsatisiied, the envy Of our prosperity
unallayed, the demand forfurther tribute
TO British greed will be as loud as ever.
No concession short 81 absolute surrcn-
der will satisfy the assailants OF our
protective policy. Our only safety lies
in their overwhelming defeat
