1t also says that protection has
tended to lower the standard of the
wageworker. We will agree with
the Enquirer as follows:
Protection will be maintained for
certain lines of raw material and
manufactured goods as long as the
native production of these wares has
not developed sufficiently to permit
competition with foreign countries.
1t has nothing to do with the wage
question, as even under the most
stringent "protective" tariff labor
force is not at all protected, as may
be proved by the gradual reduction
of wages. The moment the products
of protected" industry are thrown
upon the worlds market, their man
ufacturers have no longer an interest
in maintaining a high Tariff; on the

the free trade capltaIst to extol the
benefits of free trade, namely, that
the workingman can purchase
cheaper.
AS in regard to high tariff, the
capitalist, in order to catch the
workingman's vote, tells him of the
benefits of protection, so the free
trader endeavors to capture the poor
slaves vote by telling him how very
cheap he can buy under free trade.
Clear as mud for the simpleton.
If only wages were a fixed quantity,
unaffected by the changing processes
of the economic conditions.
AS long as forty years ago Karl
Marx punctured the free trade
bubble by showing conclusively that
"under free trade competition will
reduce the price Of every commod-
lty to minimum of it's cost of pro-
duction." He says further:
Hence the minimum of wages is the
natural price of labor. And what is the
minimum of wages? Precisely that
which is needed to produce indispen-
sable commodities for the maintenance
of the workers life, to enable him to
worry through and to propagate his
kind. AS means are always found to
keep labor with cheap and miserable
stuff whisky instead Of beer, cotton for
wool and linen, potatoes for bread, the
minimum of wages is continually sink
ing. This law of the minimum of wages
will realize in the same ratio as the hy-
pothesis of the political economist, free
trade, becomes fact"
As we have intimated before, high
tariff does not operate Opposltely, as
it does not comprehend the labor
force, which is always unprotected.
Actual, real, international free
trade might place the workers Of
the world upon an equal competitive
footing, but it would not raise their
standard.
The labor question, therefore, is
not to be side-tracked by the intro
duction of this question. Marx has
not thought and labored in vain;
and Socialists the world over will in
cline to take the benefit of his reas-
oning in the light of fact,
The WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE rather

Republican papers declare that the
democratic crowd are free traders;
democratic" papers strenuously deny
it; most labor" papers don't seem to
know what the racket means; but ye
workingman will vote both ways, and
stand up for his right to vote as he
pleases. A few will exercise the right
not to vote for the demagogue candi-
dates, and keep cool

A man may be in favor of free trade
and Socialists are-but he would be a
fool to expect free trade and the other
compeHSdting conditions from the " dem
ocratic party. Workingmen want pro-
lection, but not the protection of the
republican party.

HER PAPA'S POLITICS.
BY II. c. DODGE.

What are your papa s politics,
Miss Mary" asked the beau:
The maiden eyed the clock and waved i,
why do you wish to know"
Because, the little fellow erinned,
He III like me, don t you see?
If 1 find out his party views
And with 'em all agree"
We'll, pa s for home protection"
Mary laughed, like all you men
For he declared he d bolt the door
Tonight at half-past ten"
why, then, he is a bolter, May,
a mugwump, ha, ha, ha!
He s kicked the party tt aces off
m solid with your pa"
20, that must be the party, who"
May answered, with cough,
Called every night-the same as you;
Pa had to kick him off. -
And papa left some traces, too,
She told the frightened sticker;
Yes! pa must be mugwump true,
For he s an awful kicker" -"
And then the lover bowed goodnight, >
With rather humble pride,
And thought the side of politics
For him was safe outside.

Our stay at Tamatave and Fener-

we were very anxious to leave. 1t
had rained continually du ing our
stay there. We saw several very
large ter-spouts about three miles
at sea; they generally last about tif-
teen or twenty minutes, creating a
roaring rushing noise. On the after
noon of January 28th, 1884, we got
underway and sto3d down the coast
of Madagascar, rounded Cape St.
Mary and stood across the Mazam
bique Channel for the East coast of
Africa, our distinction being Port
Natal but encountering heavy wealth
er we were blown out of our course
and were compelled to make Port
Elizabeth where we arriv, on the
morning Of February 9TH. AS soon
as we came to anchor boats were sent
ashore for provisions, of which we
succeeded in obtaining bountifu.
supply, although everything was
very high. We found Port Eliza
beth to be place Of considerable
size. The town is built on the side
of a hill aud looks very pretty from
the harbor, there are great many
English people living here. After
obtaining what provisions we requir-
ed we proceeded on our way to Cape
Town. We encountered pleasant
weather while rounding the Cape of
Good Hope, which is a very rare
thing as it is generally stormy at this
point. We kept the land in view
while rounding the Cape, several
hours after sighting Table Mountain
we lay at anchor in Table Bay, Cape
Town South Africa. The day after
our arrival we hauled in the Alfred
Docks, as 1t is not safe to lay in
Table Bay on account Of the heavy
winds which prevail off this coast at
all times Of the year. The convicis
are at work building long sea wall
to protect the harbor from the heavy
winds which blow here. The Alfred
docks form a safe asylum for vessels |
during all kinds of weather. These
docks form one of the principal !
features of Cape Town, there being
two dry docks among them machine
shops and carpenter shops where
vessels can obtain repairs Of all kinds.

CHICAGO, Nov. THE Tribune says: "Gen-
