There is big row between the Pres-
dent and Commissioner-ofP Pensions
Black. The President has demanded tn,
resignation of the commissioner, and
General Black refuses to resign. The
reason for Mr.. Cleveland's desire to part
with the late Illinois candidate for the
vice pres dency Is his obstinate deter
mination to remain in the field at st
Louis, to the embarrassment of the ad-
ministration and the confusion of some
of its plans

HAVING Seen BOTH Sides.
Five Adopted Citizens Will
Vote for Protection.
TRUTHS FOR woRKINGMEN.
What Protection has Dono for Wage.
Workers in America, Told by
scotchman Who has Worked
Under the Other Thing.

Theoretically and from hearsay any
body knows that the vast difference
between the amount Of wages paid
workingmen in America and in Great
Britain for the same labor is due to
Protection here and Free Trade abroad.
1t is easily seen by an intelligent child
that il the product Of labor in Europe
paid so cents a day is allowed to compete
with American labor without Protection
wages here cannot long be maintained
above fifty cents day, or the mills must
stop. The men who know from practical
experience the difference in British and
American pay for labor, however, are
not plenty in this vicinity. There are
five such men Mt Benwood. They are
brothers, natives OF Scotland, and four
Of them have not yet been naturalized,
but have been in this country the legal
time, and will take out their second pa
pers in time to vote for Harrison, Morton
and Protection in November. The other
brother, Mr.. William Armour, has been
voter for number OF years, casting
his first vote for Peter Cooper, the
GreenbaCk candidate for President in
| 1876, and he has never voted the Repub-
lican ticket. In November he will vote
for Harrison and the other Republican
nominees.
Mr.. Armour was in the city yesterday.
He is pit foreman at the Benwood steel
plant, and filled the same position in
Scotch works before coming to this
country. His brothers are also steel
workers.
Mr.. Armour says he will vote the Re.
publican ticket because he is satisfied
that by that means only can he contrib.
ute to the cause Of Protection. He said
that in the old country he received for
the same work he now does at Ben.
wood, 81 80 a week. This is skilled la.
Dor, and 81 so is above the average
wages over there. At Benwood he is
paid So % per 100 tons turned out, and
the plant averages 200 tons turn, SC
that his wages avearge 81 so day. The
largest output in one day the plant even
made was 2i7 tons, for which his wages
were - SO.
This difference in wages is due solely
to the effects al protective tariff. The
only reason Mr.. Armour did not become
Republican long .ago was that he die
not heretofore realize the truth-that
the Republican party is the only Protec
ton party.
