The scandinavian club of st. Paul,
numbering 500 men, have issued the fol-
lowing address, setting forth tho reasons
Why they support MIR. Cleveland. They
say:
The republican party has in it's plat
form declared in favor of the very high
eat protective tariff. They pay no stten-
ton whatever to the wishes of the north
west. We ask for cheap clothes and
cheap food, and they answer us with:
Eve will give you cheap tobacco and
cheap whiskey."
Can we, voters OF Minnesota, support a
party that SO plainly shows that it neith-
or will nor can promote or defend our
interests; that they even want to work
against them!
No, certainly not! That would be to
promote our own ruin.
The republican party has declared
itself TO be the party of and for million
aires. Let Gould, Vanderbilt, Washburn,
Pnlsbury and the other big bugs vote for
them, but let us poor people help them
that help us.

WHAT has up TO this tIme been the
most heaitbful, instructive and the clean
est cam psign IN halt century is likely
to change now, So far as republicans can
change It. The republican national
committee has uuear he'd R~v. Ball, Of
Buffalo, and employed him TO begin
suit against New York paper in when
1t is hoped 20 get the president summon
ed TO give testimony and thus revive the
old II al pin slander bnsiness OF 1884. All
the republican organs are ordered to
publish it all, and the Associated Press
will do it's part in distributing 1t.
The democrats can afford TO do as they
did in 1884, and ignore all this slander
business. The people do not want 1t.
They are reading and thinking about the
great questions of the CANVASS as they
never read and thought before, and the
democratic party can we'll trust it's cause
with the / sople. This is no year for the
torch and brass baud, neither is it for
slsndering candidates.

THE TARIFF ASD WAGES.

Harper's Weekly: The chief popular
argument at the present time for main
taining the high war tariff is the pauper-
labor argument. Formerly 1t was the
establishment of domestic manufactures,
or the young industry argument, ana
again it was the home market. The
present allegation is that to diminish
the average rate of duties from AZ to 40
or AZ per cent, which is the practical
proposition now pending, is to bring the
American Iaborer TO the level of the
pauper or poorly paid laborer of Europe
Taat is to say, tariff tax increases tine
rate of wages. Is this true? According
to the census of 1880 the number OF
persons who were engaged IN gainful oc-
equations was 17,392,0 ,099. OF this
number tho farmers are about 40 per
cent, and those engaged in professions in
trade and in trans por;ation are about 35
per cent. Here are 75 per cent. Of the
laboring people who, from the nature OF
their occa pations, cannot be prot otscted ty
tariff tax. PrGtectio. certainly does
not raise their wages. On the contrary.
by raising the price of every necessary OF
life which is imported, and which ve do
not produce, the purchasing power OF
their wages ia diminished and thus pro
lection reduces their wages by just so
much as the tariff increases the prices OF
the articles they buy.
il it the tariff which determines the
rate of wages in the protected ind2> ries!
II 80, the rate of vageh in such an in
dustry will be substantially the same
wherever the industry is pursued. Bat
the labor statistics show that 80 to CD,
and in some Instances 100 per cent,
higher wages are paid for labor in the
same protected occupations in different
parts OF the c0untry. In 1880 wool
weavers we're paid 66 per cenr. more IN
Delaware than in Michigan, and 1O6 per
cent. more in Utah than in Illinois.
Similar differences are shown in the
official statistics. But they would be i'm
wages. Again, the greatest difference in
the rate OF wages paid in this country
and in Europe is in the occupations
which are not protected and cannot be
protected by tariff. Moreover, tho rate
of wages paid in the unprotected indus
tries here is larger than that paid in the
protected, and it advances more rapidly.
From 1860 to 1880 tho increase of week
ly wages in Massachu setts in ninety
different industries Was about l5l2 per
cent, and the greatest advance was in
the unprotected occupations. Yet the
tariff rates in the same psriod advanced
about - per cont. This 81 u.tiOn, again,
would have been impossible if the rate
of wages was determined by the tariff.
Tho same fact is illustrated elsewhere.
During the last forty years, in which En-
gland haB been what is called free trade
country, the rate Of wages have increased
from 20 to 100 per cent, while the hours
OF labor have beon reduced 20 per cent,
and what the laborer consumes has been
diminished in price. To day the rate of
wages IN froe-trade England are AZ per
cent. higher than ia protected Germany,
and G5 per cent. higher than in protected
France.
