dent Levy. of Evansville
The session was secret, and every avenue

portant action taken by the body was the

The resolutions were introduced as having
originated in WIlietts assembly, X. OF L.,
and charged Harrison with being unfriend-
ly to organized labor, opposed TO restriction
of Chinese immigration anda corporation at

being opposed to the interests of labor. Tie
same thing in effect was also said of Nor
ton

| clared in frvor of their adoption. When the

THE average labor cost 10 our manu-
featured profits. rs shown by the census,
is about Is per cent of their value. The
average protection afforded by the mo-
nOpoly tariff is A. per cent. Thus capital
is protected to the entire amount paid out
for labor, and 80 per cent besides. No
wonder the great manufacturing mOuop~
olies are able to pay dividends of from
40 per cent to 100 per cent year. while
they keep the wages of their labor down
to the subsistence point No wonder Car
negie made q profit of s., 900 u day out
of his iron works at Pittsburg, while his
employees were compelled to work At hard
times wages in competition with the
"pauper labor of Europe" imported to
take the bread ont of their mouths No
wonder that all the trusts and combina~
tons are in favor of keeping up the mo
nOpOly tariff which enables them to sell
their products at high prices and buy
their labor at low prices -ludsnspolis

In 1880, when Cullom was running for
governor, he said the state was ont OF
debt. and that the income from the Hi
nois Central railroad would pay the rum

yet, in 1880, the state tax roll was only
&c cents, and now we find, for 1887, it is
So cents. 1t looks as though the state
officials have failed TO look after the in

Smith the general said the Republican party
was not organized in the beginning for spoils.
Its early battlecry was "Free speech, free
press, free schools and free territories" it
had now widened the last phrase into 81
free nation" Its appeals had always
been made to the heart and
conscience, and it was 80 now. In this po-
litical campaign he wanted every one to
think for himself and then the truth would
assert its sway over the minds Of all. AT the
conclusion of the speech the customary per
sonal greetings were given.
