It's principle is to have the manu-

will throw out of wOrk-S66, 500

pay was $3.50 per day. This vast

REDUCING THE SURPLUS.

The leaders of the free trade fac
ton have for long time pretend
ed to feel alarmed at the possible
danger to the country from the
surplus left in the Treasury by the
last Republican Administration.
Up to a very few days ago Demo
cratic campaign orators pointed to
the existence Of the surplus IS an
argument in favor of their free
trade theories and insisted that it
could only be reduced by abolish
ing or greatly reducing the tariff
imposed on the imported products
of foreign pauper labor for the pro-
lection OF American industry. But
now they will have to change their
tune. Their leaders have taken
care that SO long as they remain in
power the surplus shall be reduced
to very small proportions. The ap-
preparations passed or pending,
but practically agreed to By Con-
gress during the present session,
amount to $42s, 26S, J2O-an in
crease of S65,OS4,73O over the ap-
preparations of last yeaI-while the
prospective revenue is estimated
at $440, 563, 734, thus leaving a pos
sible surplus of only $12,294, 212.
The passage of the Mills bill would
have converted this into a defcien-
cy Of over s6O,OOO,OOO.
From the facts just given, the
American people will be enabled to
form a correct opinion of the Wis
dom and patriotism of the Demo
cratic party managers. BY ex-
travagant, and in many cases ut
terly unnecessary and useless ap-
preparations, they increase expend-
lures enormously, and even seek
by the Mills bill to add 100000
900 TO our debt, in order to recip-
rocate IN the most acceptable man
ner, at the expense OF American
wOrkingmen, the kindly interest so
effnsively exhibited in Mr.. Cleve-
lands fortunes by the English
press and public.
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1888-08-31

Master Workman Powderly, Of
the Knights of Labor, said in =
speech
am a high tariff man and a
protectionist for the reason that l
am an American and a friend OF
American labor. No wOrkingman
has ever called for any reduction,
and no reduction should be made
until it has been demanded by the
people. We need no tariff tinker
ing. We want protection from
one end of the country to the other.
Touch not the tariff. Raise the
duties 80 high that not a single
article of foreign manufacture can
come into the country.
