Counterfeiting Gangs.

Our readers should perhaps be eau
toned against responding in any way
to enticing propositions to help them
to make easy fortunes. There is a
gang of counterfeiters in New York
City who are constantly sending out
circulars. We have one, received by
one of our staff. They usually send to
some one living in the country, and are
very shrewd in holding out induce
ments to take some of their paper
goods. If you wish to "handle these
goods you are directed to return the
letter (Which is not signed), and re-
turn the little slip on which a certain
name and address in New York City is
written. 1t is stated that the address
will not be the same after two weeks.
OF course any one of mature years
must know that the entire business is
made up of fraud and crime The only
safe thing to do, 1--WE will say for the
benefit of inexperienced youth, who
might from curiosity send to see what
would come of it, is promptly to burn
up every trace of the thing. BY re-
spending in any manner you will be
likely to get into trouble. Field
and Stocbmara.

AMERICAN WORKHEN AND THE

A writer signing himself az. G. r., who
evidently understands thoroughly what

man lives on more and better food, has
more comfortable home, dresses in bet

than any other workman under the sun,

a practical one. in the decision Of which
they cannot hazard mistake.
/ Under the policy OF protection the pro-
auctions Of our country-of agriculture,
manufactures, mines, forcsts-have so
marvelously increased that there is to-
day mor work for more men than at
any time since the first factory wheel re-
voIved in America, or the first furrow
was turned. There has not been n day
since the Mayilowcr landed when an
average days work would go SO lar as il
will to-day in supplying the comforts and
necessarics OF family life. 1t is this con-
dition that the workingman Is asked TO
ieopardize by reversing the fiscal policy
under which il was brought about. Aside
from the suspicious circumstance that
the inspiration for snch a change, as well
as the arguments put forth in its behalf,
have a foreign origin. and are largely
championcd 10y men Interested IN foreign
trade, there are certain practical aspects
Of the situation which no prudent voter
should ignore when casting his ballot
Let It be remembered that every COM
peting foreign article sold in thiscountry
takes the place OF domestic made
article which might have been sold. Just
SO much more foreign goods as are sold
to our people, iustso much less domestic
goods can be sold. II domestic goods
cannot be sold, they will not be made
III not made, employment in their manu-
iacture must stop, idlencss ensue, and
with il privation and distress. 1t il not
enough for the theorist TO say that men
thus thrown out OF employmentcan take
hold OF something else. Other lines OF
business are now as full as manufactures.
Crowding agriculture with men elsewhere
thrown out viii inevitably depress that
industry. Thousands who are now buy
ers Of products will be unable TO pay,
and will either raise what they need or
go without. Wages will go down under
the diminished demand for the products
of farm and factory, hard times will
reign supreme. and the free traders
millennium will draw high. Then. and not
till then, can goods be produced ms
cheaply here az in Europe, for labor un-
der such conditions can be procured on
equal terms here and abroad.
Every voter who earns his living by
harder work than clipping coupons will
do well to contemplate the tendency and
result Of the present free trade appeals
before casting his ballot for it's further
ance in the United States, whose citizens
are worthy a betteriatc than such "A policy
has in store for them.
