William Howard, of Bethlehem, Pa, in Irish
World
Which is dearer, a shirt at 81 with 81 Ia your
pocket TO pay for It, or shirt a. fifty cents
without cent i'll your pocket 10 buy one ?
Which is better pro ectfon that lives Won plentv
of chances to earn the dollar home manufac-
tured shirt may cost or FREE trade that prev nts
You earning the fifty cents AN imported shirt
may cost? Consider this question; for as YOU
consider it so viii you vote for Harrison or
Cleveland
In the early part of our civil war bread sold at
cents n loaf nevertheless mobs Of idle starry
ing work people paraded the streets of New York
City crying Bread biood7 few months
later bread was selling at ten cents n loaf never
thelesS, peace, plenty and contentment every
where prevailed, because everybody was profit
ably employed. Now what benefit would il be
to your wives and daughters if foreign cllicoes
We're two cents yard and yen had no. the two
cents to spend? and what disadvantage would
it be TO them though home manufactured cali
Goes We're six cents yard, If you had the six
cents wherewith TO buy the goo!s2 | once
overheard merry Irishmau in the Phiia,iel-
phia market say to one who hal Just paid fifty
cents for II chicken: Och, sir We can buy
plenty of that kind i'll the Guild country for six
pence Then why didn't you stay there ,"
WIS the natural query. An sure, sir,
it was the sixpence / couldn't get He
a
shielded by protection than sixpenco' in place
riddled with free trade. He discovered il was
nog the price of an article which concerned him,
but bis ability TO pay the price With no money
in your pocket Il hye-Collar coat lis dear, but
with money ito tue fore IL ten-dollar coat is
chop And this is Just the difference between
free trada ana protection. Free trade will offer
You foreign, pauper- made cap at nifty cents,
yot prevent you from earning n cent; while pro-
lection may offer you home manufactured cap
nj a dollar, yet give you every chance TO earn
dollars enough 20 buy several caps. Why are
foreigners crowling 10 our shores by tens of
thousands from places whero low-priced goods
made if low pric cd goods also make con, cnt-
ed people? Are any goods low priced the peo-
pc cannot buy-and any iods high pr. ced
the people can really buy no matter how small
the cost of the first comparatively great the
cost of the second?
Free-traders tell you that while they open the
gates to foreign WOODEN goods they nuke il up
by giving our manufacturers ree r,Iw wool from
abroad but how can this benefit you them
when our WOODEN z, obs must be ruin0usly
cheapened to meet the low priced foreign goods
that will then glut our markets.
But Will admitting foreign raw woods free
mako these woods any cheaper to manufIc-
turers? Not at all So long rs they must COM
pete with our three hundred million pounds of
home raised wool they will be somewhat cheap
ened, but only until they hive ariyen our wool
growers TO the wall; then the fore On wool
raisers, having our markets all to themselves,
will demand their own prices for their neeces
Thus at single stroke the free-tra1e Mills bill
will destroy our wOol-raisin3 industry and ut
country. Are you read and willing to meo5
and suffer such calamity? IOu can aNet il
only by voting for Harrison.
Free-traders tell You that free raw materials
viii protect our industries as Wei as Il thrift.
