Levi P. Morton in importing psuper Ia
borers under contract is constantly in
creasing. The interviews with prominent
labor leaders on this subject during the
last few days, have attrsetsd general at
tention. Scores of workipgmen can be
found in this city who were formerly con-
necsed with the Republican party, but
who have decided, after reading the
Stars expose and the comments on it, to
sever their connection with the party
whose candidate is discriminating against
American labOrers whenever he gets q
chance. Many of these former Republi-
cans are speaking of President Cleveland
in an enthusiastic manner. They are con-
vinced that they can expect more from
the Democratic party than from the Re-
publieans, who have betrayed them, and
who have always broken their pledges.
Sigmund Kohn, treasurer of Typograph-
ical Union No. 7, said: ~ sm not men,
Der of either of the two old parties, but the
action of Morton is of great interest to
every workingman. Asa

condemn il, and i am sure that every
level-headed laborer who had heretofore
the intention of voting the Republican
ticket will change his mind. The compe-
tition Of paupsrs is one of the great causes
that we have reduced wages, and if these
paupers come here in herds il will not
take a very long time before we receive
European starvation wages The talk Of
tree trade, low tariff or high tariff is, in
NV opinion, not of great importance to the
laboring man, because the bosses will
never pay to the workmen the full equivs-
lent Of their exertions. But the question
of unrestricted Immigration and pauper la
Dor deeply concerns the wage earners of
America. Aud Levi p. Morton, the pro-
tectOr of Italisn paupers, will surely be
boycotted by New York union men,"

graphical Union No. 7, and an old Union
soldier, said: II WAS always Republican,

would have done it also this election.
Harrison's nomination has, on account Of
his Chinese record, not satisfied me, but
the expose Of Morton and his psuper la
borers has induced me to leave my old
party, 20 which have belonged for more
than thirty years. To remain any longer
with and to vote for Morton is equal to
cutting into my own flesh. have 10 look
out for my own welfare, and large family
is depending on me. How can l, then,
vote for man who tries to take the bread
out OF my mouth to feed Italian or Chinese
psupers? If | would do il would be re-
spnnsibe for the misery which is sure to
follow"
