American labor should not strike these days,
but IL should organize against the man and
party who want TO have Cinnamon enter into
competition with them. The man is Harrison.

BENJAMIN Harrison was nominated by the
monopolists. II he is elected the monopo-
lists will control his adm .nistration. Here are
two reasons among many why he won't be
elected and oughtn't to be.-IndiGndpoIis Sen

The Republican party proposes In this cam
paign to blow its nose on the stars and stripes,
and then pocket the insult TO the flag. The
war Is indeed over when 5000. 900 OF citizens
can safely put this anront on the flag OF our
Naturalization Globe.
The issue of the campaign may be easily pre-
dicted The American people are too intel
as they have enjoyed for over three years, to
the representatives of anti-freo labor and the

II we can not beat this ticket we can beat
none at all. But we can beat it, There is in it
nothing either captivating imposing, and 1t
sets out on its precarious journey with death
staring it in the face. BY all means let the
battle begin--Louis0ills Courier-JowrnGI.
1t does not look as If labor will indorse the
plank in the Republican platform which says:
"HYe are uncom oromisingly in favor of the
American system OF protection" Out of $50
labor papers 135 favor tarln reform, which may
be considered q fair index OF the sentiment
the tarn issue.-Mits0aukee ReUist0.
The laboring men OF Indiana are not to be af-
fected in any way by the bloody shirt fetch, to
the employment OF which in campaigns General
Harrison has been much given. They will ask
him many hard questions which he can not
answer satisfactorily. and before corn gather
ing time the Harrison balloon Will be punctured
to the point OF utter cola pse.-AeDsphis Appeal
It's q wonder that the Republican party didn't
get out an injunction preventing the Democrat
io administration from flying the stars and

Iwould mention those articles which enter
into manufactures OF all sorts. All duty paid
upon such articles goes directly to the cost OF
the articles when manufactured here and
must be paid for by the consumer. These
duties not only come from the consumers at

Don't hatter yourself that the free trade
howlers will start any stampede In the working
mems ranks. A tax reform bill and o tax re-
form platform that calls only for u seven per
cent. reduction, and leaves the average duty
seventeen per cent. higher than in the days OF
labor's greatest prosperity, will be hailed by all

The sense and correct speaking IL this cam
paign are on the side of the Democrats. The
idiocy, nonsense and fddle-faddle OF right be-
long to the Republicans. The Republican
platform Is free-whisky platform. The Dem
ocratic platform is not free trade platform.
Let the Republican boosters take that into
their craws and see if they have sand and
gravel enough Co grind it.-HeokUk Constitutions
Democrat
The strongest reason yet produced by the
Republican papers for believing in Harrison's
election, is given in the fact that people who
go to the candidates house are cutting up the
fences around 1t and carrying them on for
souvenirs-or f1re-wood. Some of these visit
ors, IL they got a-chance, would probably pre-
fer to take away the Hsrrlsonian silver for
keepsalIes; but evidence is lacking to prove
that there are enough of these enthusiasts to
elect President-Chicd1o Globe.
