hope of better future. Whatever ills
the American workman has to contend
with, his rate of wages is twice or
three times as high as that of his En-
| glish brother. The distribution Of the
products OF labor are faulty in that
the producer does not get his proper
share, but the road to better diStri-
button does not lie in reducing the
share he now gets. The only possible
way that good wages for American
workmen can be maintained is the eX-
clusion, to a greater or less extent, of
foreign, cheap labor from our shores,
and the protection of home industries
by tax upon competing products of
the labor of women at 500 per year, and
| of men at perhaps not over double that
sum. Last year, in spite of our present
tariff, 500, 900, 600 worth of foreign
pauper labor manufactured goods were
brought into this country and in direct
competition with our mechanics, arti-
sans and labOrers. With that $780,
coo, 900 worth of foreign goods kept
out in America for good American la
Dor and material. The great fact re-
mains that the nations OF the world are
our competitors and we must adopt
their scale of prices, or go out of bust
ness in our own country, if we per-
nit their wares to come free among
us. They may claim we are exclusive
in this, but philanthropy begins at
home. America is large enough for
US and We are legislating for America
and Americans and not for Europe and
Europeans.
Mr.. Allis then takes up the claim
made that more money is paid into
the National Treasury than the coun-
try needs, and that we have more of
an income than we can proftably use.
He brings the matter right home to
the workmen by an apt illustration.
(Which of you," he asks. ''having a
debt of $1,000 on your home, and
saving of 800 over and above your
living expenses, would consider that
amount laid away to pay on that debt
bad condition of things? And yet
this is precisely parallel case. Our
Government has a debt of a thousand
millions. drawing interest and secured
by mortgage on the homes and prop
erty of us all, and has an accumulation
of an hundred million dollars towards
paying it, which has been given the
alarming title of a dangerous surplus.
To the people at large the surplus
and the means of continuing it is a
blessing unparalleled. But, in fact,
while we have dollar of unpaid debt
no such thing as surplus is pos
sible"
Mr.. Allis closes this convincing let
ter by saying: when we have sue
ceeeded in rendering permanent our
present position of vantage, then we
can look forward and strive for other
benefits and advantages. but if we lose
what we now have, our condition will
be helpless indeed. "-StoUes and Hard

A Milwaukee Manufacturer Gives II
Views on Protection.


Views ON Protection.
Edw. 2. Allis, of Edw p. Allis &
Co.. Milwaukee, being importuned by
many of his 1,500 employees to give
his opinion upon the present political
situation, replied in an open letter,
which is most comprehensive state
ment of the benefits to be derived by
the working classes from protection.
He states in his introduction that
American labor is the foundation stone
of our National life and future great
ness, and that the first duty of our
Government should be to aid and en-
courage the working and producing
classes. To do this the raw material
of our country should be utilized by
and for our own people, without
damaging competition from the people
of different governments and devise
social and economic conditions. At
tention is called to the fact that while
the American workman have many
difficulties to contend with under
protection tariff, they are con-
stantly lettering their condition,
while their brethren across the
sea are SO stepped in poverty
and weakness as to almost abandon

p" Nasal Voices, Catarrh and False
Teeth"

A prominent English woman says the
American women all have high, shrill, nasal
voices and false teeth
Americans don't like the constant twit-
ting they get about this nasal twang, and
yet it is a fact caused by our dry stimula-
ting atmosphere, and the universal pres
ence of catarrhal difficulties
But why should so many of our women
have false teethi
That is more of poser to the English. It
is quite impossible to account for it except
on the theory Of deranged stomach action
caused by imprudence In eating and by
want of regular exercise.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere prevail
and end in cough and consumption, which
are promoted by mal-nutrition induced by
deranged stomach action. The condition
is modern one, one unknown to our an
cestors who prevented the catarrh, cold,
cough and consumption by abundant and
regular use of what is now known as
Warmers Log Cabin cough and consump-
ton remedy and Log Cabin sarsaparilla,
two old-fashioned standard remedies
handed down from our ancestors, and now
exclusively put forth under the strongest
guarantees of purity and efficacy by the
world famed makers of Warmers safe
cure. These two remedies plentifully used
as the fall and winter seasons advance, to-
gether with an occasional use of " arner's
Log Cabin rose cream, TO strengthen and
protect the nasal membranes, give q posi-
tive assurance of freedom, both from ca
tarrh and those dreadful and if neglected,
inevitable consequences, pneumonia, lung
troubles and consumption, which so gener-
ally and fatally prevail among our people.
Comrade Eli Fisher, of Salem, Henry Co.,
Iowa, served four years in the late war and
contracted q disease called consumption by
the doctors. He had frequent hemorrhages.
After using Warmers Log Cabin cough and
consumption remedy, he says, under date of
Jan. 10Th, 1888: 81 do not bleed at the
lungs any more, my cough does not bother
me, and do not have any more smothering
spells" Warmers Log Cabin rose cream
cured his wife of catarrh and she is "sound
and WE'LL
OF course we do not like to have our
women called nose takers and false teeth
owners, but these conditions can be readily
overcome in the manner indicated.

THE STILES OF LIES,
One of the Most Contemplate of Demo-
cratic Campaign Tricks.

cratic Campaign Tricks.
Certain papers recently printed a
story to the effect that the recent
Paris interview with Judge Gresham
which the New York Herald printed
was edited on this side of the water,
and therefore appeared minus para
graph which is now printed by itself.
This is what he is credited with say
ing:
III were Democrat talking to a newspaper
man-which 1 am not-I should say: But, sec
here, you Republicans, this whole campaign
OF yours is piece of Inconsistency. In your
convention you could not agree upon Mr.,
Blaine, and nominated Mr.. Harrison. Now it
appears that Mr.. Harrison is a sort of figure
head while Mr.. Blaine practically controls the
policy of the contest. Furthermore, 1t is gen.
orally understood that, as Secretary of State,
Mr.. Blaine will direct the policy of the next
administration, should the Republicans win.
In other words. Mr.. Blaine is to all intents and
purposes The candidate. But If Mr.. Blaine is un-
tit to run in person for the Presidency ne is
surely unfit to be the manager of the man who
was nominated in his place.
No one who knows Judge Gresham
in Chicago will believe for an in
slant that he holds or gave utterance
to any such sentiments. There is no
more conservative gentleman on or eff
the bench than he, and no one who
has ever approached him for his We've
GA any political subject, whether :.

with his allegiance COR not, will hest
tate moment before stamping this
story as an absurd and malicious
falsehood. The silly liar who con-
cocted this story chose the very worst
man possible to saddle it upon. There
is not more loyal or conservative
Republican alive to-day than Judge
Gresham, and there is not in him one
grain OF that sour mugwumpery so
coarsely set forth in the words attribrt-
ed to him. Chicago Mail.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?
A Word to Young Men Who Are Abou

A Word to Young Men Who Are About
to Cast Their First Vote.
Tens of thousands of the young men
of America will cast their first vote
this fall, and enter upon the political
career which is part of the valuable
inheritance of every American citizen.
The power of habit and association
are probably the strongest elements in
the construction of character and the
casting of first ballot may be likened
to playing the cornerstone of the build
ing of life. The young man who is
called upon to exercise the elective
franchise for the first time in 1888,
has the possibility of living fifty or
sixty years thereafter, and, very large
ly, the whole of his after life may be
affected by this virgin political act.
Young men are watched more closely
than they imagine by their older fell
low-citizens, and their future career
may be made or married by even the
simple act of casting ballot
1t is not our purpose to assert that
all there is of political virtue is en-
bodied in the Republican party. and
that every vice is typifed by the Dem

EUROPE AND AMERICA.
How Much Worklng-Men Make in Thi,
Country and Across the Sea.

How Much Working-Men Make in This
Country and Across the Sea.
The free traders tell the working
men that while they are better paid in
this country than their fellows are in
Europe, their wages do not go so far,
because the necessarieS of life are
dearer here than they are abroad. We
will examine this statement with the
fairness with which we have tried to
observe in looking at every phase OF
this question. In 1884 bricklayers
were paid $3.50 week in Leghorn
and $24 in Chicago, difference of 1873
per cent. in favor of the American
working-man. English carpenters
were paid 1915 and carpenters in Chi
cago $3.50, difference of more than
81 per cent. Blacksmiths received
5000 and $15 respectively, a differ
ence of 43 per cent. in favor of the
American. English laborers were
paid 81 and American laborers $1,000,
a difference of so per cent.
The American wages are very much
higher than those paid in England,
good deal higher than free traders are
willing to admit. How is it with the
expenses of living? In the first place,
food is cheaper in this country than it
is in England. Beef costs SO Is per cent
more in Liverpool than in Chicago.
Veal costs 334 per cent. more. Bread
costs little less, q per cent, and but
ter little more. Clothes have been
supposed to cost less in Europe than
here, but since Mr.. McKinley's exposi-
tion of the fact that all-wool clothes
can be sold in this country for so
suit, that supposition has received
very damaging blow. Rents are some
what higher than there, but % per
cent. would cover the difference, and
the American wOrking-man lives in
decent house, while the Englishman
lives in squalor and in the midst of
poverty and degradation.
The working-man in this country
gets from 40 to 1873 per cent. more
wages than his English competitor,
gets cheaper food, of better quality
and larger variety; wears as cheap
clothes, and lives in a house that costs
him little more rent. He can afford
that in view of his other advantages.
He can pay the additional rent and lay
by almost as much money as the En-
glishman can earn in a quarter. And
protection has done all this, for the
difference between the two countries is
in their tax laws.-M Y Mail and
Express.

The Dollar-a-Day Lie.

The editor of the Mauch Chunk
(Pa) Gazette wrote to General Harri-
son asking whether he ever used any
language that conveyed the idea that he
believed "a dollar day is enough for
any working-man. The General re-
piled as follows:
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Sept Sly Dear Sir:
can not but express surprise that you should
ask me such a question as that contained in
your letter Of September 6, namely, whether
have ever said in effect that one dollar a day
was enough wages for working-man- There

a denial, but this is certainly not Of that sort

Maine for Protection.

The shades of night were falling fast,
When from the Pine-Tree State there passed
The news that Maine had gone all rigst,
And rallied round that word OF Light,
Protection.
On Democratic ears IL fell
With mournful cadence, like kneu
Ofhopes that soon should blasted be
When ballot-boxes would decree
Protection.
The Free-Trade heart was filed with grief,
The patriot soul felt great relief;
For Maine had marked the high food tide,
Eebound.ng from Vernont's green side
OF Protection.
From every county rings the cry
or the Free Traders on the hy,
And Kennebec calls TO Berwick:
"We'Il make these Clevelanders feel sick
With Protection.
"When in November, cold and drear,
The Free-Trade cohorts disappear.
Well greeting send to all mankind
That Maine is never left behind
In Protection"

Of them can read the word of God be-
cause the Republican party male it
lawful for them to do so. They pay
taxes on twelve million dollars in one
State whose whole possessions would
not have amounted to as many cents
but for the justice of the Republican
party. For the first time in history a
National debt is more than half ex-
tinguished, and during the period of
Republican control the wealth of the
Nation was twice doubled. Let our

as much as he chooses, but let him not

neighbors to depreciate the grandest
