The Republican managers and
Republican newspapers are hard
to please.
They put up the trick on Sack
vile West, hoping to show that
Grover Cleveland was in sort of
partnership with the British Gov
ernment.
Mr.. Blaine so charged when he
read the West letter to q meeting
of Trish-Americans in New York.
They kept printing extracts from
London papers to show that Eng
lish sentiment favored Cleveland.
They abused Cleveland for not
Immediately removing the British
Minister.
Even Senator Edmunds, in his
late letter supporting Harrison,
says that, if elected, "he will not
for even one day tolerate the Off
cial presence of a foreign Minister
from whatever country he comes,
who undertakes to interfere in our
elections"
All this was before Cleveland
acted; and now that he has, with
all speed consistent with diploma
tic procedure and comfy of Ma
tions, got rid of Lord Sackville
West, they turn a double somer-
sault of the most amusing char
acter.
They charge that it was unnec-
essary to discharge the English
man.
That the action was hasty, brutal
and undignified.
And they even print whole col
umns from London newspapers to
prove that President Cleveland is
a very bad man.

Desperate Measures.

The friends of Cleveland and

their guard against Republican
falsehood and Misrepresentation.
Last week the Repu blicans pnb-
lished a letter from Mr.. West, the
English Minister to this country, in
answer to Il letter prepared by the
Republican National Committee.
1t is believed that Mr.. West was
in the scheme to help the Republi-
can party. 1t is known that his
most intimate friends and associ-
ations in Washington are Republi-
can U. S. Senators. A prominent
diplomatic in Washington, after
reading the letter, said:
~ know that Mr.. West and
every member of the British Lega-
tion are desirous OF seeing General
Harrison elected to the Presidency.
/ have heard them express this
preference in the club. They have
frequently sneered ut Mr.. Cleve-
land and said that he was alto
gether too Democratic for them,
and that they preferred General
Harrison to Mr.. Cleveland be-
cause, as they said, Harrison is a
born gentleman"
Secretary Bayard informed the
British Government ofthe bastard

Harrison, and if he is not recalled,

A CUTLERY MANUFACTURES

Whitney, Secretary of the Nation.
al Association of Democratic Clubs
was recently informed that Mr.
Henry II. Hickey, a prominent
cutlery manufacturer of North.
hampton, Mass, and an old Rep
ublican, had written a sharp letter
to Albert Daggett, refusing to re-
spond to the famous "fat' circular.
On writing to Mr.. Hickey for a
copy of his letter to Daggett, Mr.
Whitney received the following re-
ply:

TON, Mass, Sept. 13.-Dear Mr..
Whitney: l did write a letter to
Mr.. Daggett in answer to his cir
cular, but / did not keep a copy.

A Point Forcibly Made.

Hon. Roger @. Mills. in his
speech at Boston on the Sd ult.
said:
l saw the other day the illustra-
tion of the truth of the fact. a
workingman in a mill said to the
manufacturer:
81 don't believe you pay me
enough. l have got u wife and
children, and can hardly support
them on the wages you are paying
me-only 1926 Il day-I think you
ought topay me $3.50 II dayp
The manufacturer replied:
81 can get my laborers from
Germany, from France and from
England, and / can get plenty OF
laborers at $l.25 a day, and if you
don't like that pay you may stop
work"
"Well," said the workingman, of
that is tn case | suppose l have
got to take the $1.25 a day"
After his weeks work was at an
end and he had received his weeks
wages, he said to the manufacture
er:
at is getting cold. What will
you charge me for pair of those
blankets I have been working on ?'
give dollars" said the manufuc-
turer.
"Why, 1 can buy those blankets
in England, or in France or Ger
many for $3 pair, and | Won't
take you blankets. l will send
over there and get pair"
"Oh, no, you can't do that" said
the manufacturer, "there is a tariff
of ~ pair, which added to the $a
makes the price to you So. That
is for my protection"
So the workman paid his IS and
took the blankets. And then start
ed off for home, thinking, poor fel-
low, how strange the tariff is.

shop keeper of Philadelphia, is one

State of Pennsylvania on the Har-
rison ticket, and is one of the most
Jealous workers for the Republican
party in the county. lie is espec-
tally concerned for the interest of
the American worl<ingman, whom
he burns to protect from the com
petition of the "pauper labor" of
Europe. The amusing discovery
has just been made that Mr.. Wan
amaker employs the pauper labor
of Europe himself, having factory
for the manufacture of ladies' and
children's apparel, jersey Jackets,
etc, at No. 10 Kurstrasse, Berlin.
There is nothing strange about
this discovery, however. Mr..
Wanamaker has repeatedly urged
the people Of Philadelphia to buy
goods made abroad in a free trade
country by "pauper labor" in pre-
fearnce to goods made by protect
ed labor in this country, on the
openly avowed ground that the
former were the cheaper. The
Philadelphia Press of June 10th.
1886, contained a prominent adver-
tisement by Mr.. Wanamaker, of
which the following extract is a
fair sample:
We are often asked why we go
5000 miles for things we can make
at home.
the shortest answer is, we don't.
There's a heap of meaning in
that little word, ching"

American collars and cuffs are
made in Troy. The skill of, the
country is gathered there. That
skill controls the country.
There is a keener skill abroad,
or better organization, or better
facilities. Better collars and cuffs
for the money.
We bring these better collars
and cuffs and put them by the side
of the best American. Which will
you buy?
The question is answered.. You
are thinking of money. The
money is yours. Is it wholesome
to bolster Troy at cost of third
