THE woaKINGMANs ISSUE.

The issue of the present campaign is
of greater Importance to the working
neonle than any ever known to them IN
this country; the result of the election
involves most serious consequences:
NAV, and if it goes against their inter
ests. will effect them dissstrously. Tins
is a critical time in the history of our
country. The future welfare of the la
boring classes land they constitute the
maiority by large odds depends IN no
small degree upon how they cast their
votes on the sixth of November-thelr
wages, whether they shall remain at
what they are at present or be increased
or be cut down one-third, one-half and
most likely cut off altogether IN many
lines of industry by the closing Of shops
and factories thus depriving operatives
of work. This is no campaign bluif,
but plain statement Of conditions
that will inevitably follow the sue
cess of the Democratic party. Elect
the candidates Of the party on the pres
idential ticket, thus giving Mr.. thurman
vote in that body, and bill worse than
the Mills bill would become law IN the
shortest possible time and hundreds OF
our industrial enterprises WILDE SO GRIP
pied as to practically destroy them. Hun
dreds of factories would be shut down
and hundreds more would be compelled
TO reduce the wages of operatives to the
English standard. This Is the great Is
sue. and nobody is affected By 1t directly
as are those whose daily wages, daily
living, depends upon its solution. 1t IS
plain enough for anybody Of sound mind
to understand. 1t is not necessary that
a man should be familiar with the alb
struse propositions Of political science to
comprehend that to reduce the price of
an article compels reduction OF
the price of its production, and labor
being the Chief item of cost IN almost
everything, that is the hrst thing
to feel the effect of the squeeze.
Stripped Of theories and imaginary
maxims with which the enemies OF our
protective system have attempted to
cover up and befog the issue, 1t stands
out plainly as one Of bread and butter
of a home, good clothes, good food,
against poverty and perhaps pauperism.
Do not be deceived by the double-deal-
ing free traders who say one thing III
New England and another in Washing
ton and still another in the west. Don't
allow yourself to be hoodwinked by the
plea that the protective tariff if it bene-
fits anybody it is only the comparatively
few in the east. in New England, who
are Immediately employed in the mills
and factories. 1t affects the market
price of everything that is propuced for
the Market whether in the mill of the
far east, the farm and garden of the
central states or upon the ranch Of the
west. This is clearly understood by
every Intelligent voter whatever his
occupation or wherever employed.
In brief, vote for the party OF pro-
lection is vote of self defense by the
wage Garner wheresoever, while a vote
for free trade, represented by the Cleve-
and ticket, is a vote for lower wages
with the chances for no wages at all for
many

WHEN THE RETURNS ARE ALL IN.

From the sedgwick City Pantagraph
Probably one of the largest audiences
of the season greeted Hon. W. E. Stan
ley at the opera honse Monday evening,
and in return for the high compliment
thus paid him, he favored them with one
of the best and most forcible arguments
he ever made in his life, and he has
made many. The singing by the glee
club, which, by the way, was excellent,
seemed to have filled Mr. Stanley with
enthusiasm as never before, and, being
an able lawyer and orator, he COM
pletely captured his audience with the
very first half dozen words
spoken, and for an hour and forty five
minutes they gave him their undl-
vided attention. He put forth his argu
ments in clear and concise manner,
illustrating fully why American people
should be for protection and the Re-
publican party. He paid his compli
ments to the Democratic party, showed
up the fallacies of the saloon aid society
and the Union Labor fellows; also clearly
demonstrated to those parties that they
were on the wrong track to ever accom-
plish single point. A few more drub-
bings and there will not be enough
laborites and prohibitionists left in this
vicinity to furnish Kies and Botkins
with enough bandannas to wipe away
the tears-and they will not be crocodile
tears either-after the returns are all in.

THE SOUTH AND PROTECTION.

The Manufacturer Record of last
week had an interview with Judge VIM.
D. Kelly, by Frank G. Carpenter. The
subject of the interview was upon our
natural resources, and especially upon
the bright prospects of the south. We
quote part of the interview which will
be interesting to our readers:
What do'you think would be the re-
suit of free trade, l asked; to which the
judge replied:
Free trade with foreign nations, or a
lowering of our tariff to permit success
full competition with our industries,
would be as disastrous to the north to-
day as the war was to the south, and it
would stop southern development and
ruin her new industries, 1t would not
last long, but a year of it would undo the
work of twenty years. For this reason
it will not come about. We have all the
free trade we need. The free trade that
exists today between all parts of our
union, is the greatest measure of free
trade ever enjoyed or dreamed of by any
nation on earth, and it is only because
we have protected our people and
our industries against competition
with less fortunate nations that
our home trade between our
our people has grown at such wonderful
pace. Free trade at home, protection
against the rest of the world, is the poll
cy that has during the past quarter of a
century made our growth In wealth and
prosperity the wonder of the world.
l have travelled much in the south
since the war, said Judge Kelley, and
have always been keenly interested in
every step of progress she has made, and
eager to learn all could of southern re-
sources and advantages.
Southern manufactures today are
largely based upon local conditions ia
vorIng cheap production, but without
local demand. and this forces their pro-
ducts into northern markets, whereas
more general Development, based upon
the building OF such railroads as would
connect the wealth OF the mountain viii
derness of the south with Its valleys and
It's existing railway system. and thus
with all portions of the country, would
lay q foundation for such diversity and
magnitude OF mining and nlanufactur
ing industry in the south as would ar
once diversity southern agriculture
