Old Democrats Coming Back.


A few days since, says the Portland
(Me.) Argus, we were talking with an
old farmer, whom we have known for
years an q staunch Republican, and we
were quite surprised when incidentally
he happened to remark that he would
vote for Cleveland at the coming cleo
tion. In answer TO the inquiry he re
piled substantially as follows: "Before
the anti slavery issue was a demo-
crst. went off on that issue and
have voted the republican ticket ever
since. But that issue has wholly dis.
appeared, and Clevelaud's adm nistra-
ion has demonstrated that it will ne, =
er return. Instead of it we now have
the tariff Issue. On that ! was educa.
ted in the democratic faith. | am
still of that faith, because believe it
is right. have seen. aud now see,
no cause to doubt that it is the true
and best way to promote the welfare
of all the people aud the prosperity of
the country. Democratic times were
the best we ever had--no strikes, no
robbing trusts, and no suddenly en-
riched inillionaires. And, believing as
l do, l cannot be false to my convic-
tions and as an honest man seeking
the good of my country feel obliged
to vote for Cleveland, and l shall do it
as cheerfully as ever cast vote in
my life. He has made a model presi.
dent and l think many old democrats
who went off on the slavery issue will
take the same course. l know that
three in my town will do so because

He Wants His Hens Protected.

WASHINGTON, July 30.-Probably
the most unique petition ever filed in
the House in favor of additional pro-
lection to American industries was to-
day received from Representative An
derson, of Iowa. 1t reads as follows:
"Being profoundly impressed with
the gravity OF the occasion and the
magnitude of the matter at issue, in
that all my worldly possessions are in
vested in two dozen hens, and realiz-
ing that there should be no discrimina-
tion in regard to the protection of
American industries, and being advis-
ed that there were some 10000, 900
dozens of eggs imported into the Unit.
ed States in the year 1887, therefore !
would respectfully pray your honora-
BILE body to pass law to protect my
interest against the internal activity Of
the pauper hens of Europe. Your
most obedient servant,
"T. II. B. Miller, Cambria, Ia"

The investigation now being made
by Congressional Committee Is some
thing that ought to be very carefully
read by every American workman.
For years thousands of Italians, Hun
gsrians and Poles have been brought
to this country under contract, and the
result has beeu TO practically displace
the American from the mines and
many other industries.
This cheap Europesn labor is kept
in a condition of practical slavery.
After being hired out at prices at
which it is almost impossible for an
American to support himself, not to
speak of keeping family, the con-
tract laborcr being unacquaiuted with
the laws OF the country becomes the
prey of greedy contractors and pad.
rOnes. An investigation by the Phi.
ladelphia "lsecord" shows that thous.
ands Of Italians can be procured from
the New York padrones at from 81
to $l.15 a day. But with each con-
tract the padrone stipulates that he is
to have the sole right of furnishing
provisions to the camp. This puts the
ignorant foreigner entirely at the
merry of his shrewd and unscrupulous
compatriot, and percentage Of the
profits is paid to the contractor in
order to keep the latter interested in
shutting out competition.
1t is this class of cheap European
labor that has for years been forcing
down the prices of unskilled labor all
over the country. The mining and
coke regions of Pennsylvania are
flooded with Italians, Poles and Hun
garians The American and natural.
ized miner who is told that the tariff
protects him is not only forced from
the mines but driven from his home,
and, with his wife and little ones, is
compelled to seek work in the bitum-
inous mines of Indiana and Illinois.
What a picture of 'protectinnl"
Americans who have positions in the
counting houses, factory, foundry or
mill may think that this influx of
cheap contract labor has no effect
upon their positions or wages. But it
it certainly does. Most of the money
paid to this class of labor goes into the
pockets of those engaged in bringing
over ship-loads of undesirable immi-
grafton. A large portion of the wages
earned by the imported laborers goes
TO European and not American indus
.ries. When sickness overtskes these
poor, ignorant foreigners neither the
oadrones nor the contractors have any |
lse for them, and they have to be
by the people. Low wages
or unskilled labor has its effect upon
hose engaged in the trade. When
'ver labor is plentiful wages are GER
ain to be low and the highest tariff in |
existence could not change this condi-
ion of affairs.
The Republicans want to protect |
he American against cheap clothing,
heap fuel, cheap medicines and give |
lin cheap liquor instead. What the |
vage-worker really needs is protection |
'galnst cheap labor and this he can
lot expect SO long as the party that is
hrieking so loud "protection to the |
American workman" systematically |
importing cheap European labor to |
axe his place, whilst taxing every, nee
ssary of life used by the wage-earner. |

An Absurd Deduction.

General Harrison will not help him.
self iu the estimation of intelligent vot-
ers by the puerilities to which he de-
scends in most of bis short speeches to
delegations. Puerile indeed is his ar.
gument that because "American labor
ers are not seeking a better country
than their own," while emigrants from
other lands are hocking to our shores,
therefore the war tariff is a blessing.
There is not bright school boy in
Indiana who does not know that imi-
grafton has turned to America for the
past forty yeurs because here there
are freedom, cheap land, a great de-
mand for labor and chance to "get
along in this world" because, as
Chief-Justioe FULLER eloquently sum
med it up, "The Republic Is Opportu-
nifty"
The tariff has about as much to do
with migration as stump speeches
have to do with the changes of the
moon.
In 1857, under a 20 per cent. tariff,
and before any organized efforts were
made to stimulate emigration, the
number of immigrants arriving in the
United States was 246,945. In 1847
under AZ per cent tariff, the mum.
Der OF migrants was only i4l,857.
And from 1876 to 1880, under the
same high tariff, the average was only
1901 year.
There are a good many citizens
who would think it a sufficient reas on
for a reduction of duties if the high
tariff is really responsible for the pre-.
sent excessive migration But the
truth is that AZ neither the Pilgrim
Fathers nor the Cavaliers came to this
country for the blessed privileges of
being taxed to make other people
prosperous, so the migration has con.
tinued, and wages have always been
higher here than in the overcrowded
Old World, alike under high tariffs
and low tariffs. And this would be
the case if there were no tariff.
Gen. HARRISON ought TO show more
respect for the intelligence of the
people who'e votes he seeks World.

When the working classes turn to

That the Democrats would lower

that have been rotting with disuse, ex-
tend the American market, make the
demand for labor greater and increase
the purchasing power of the work
