REPUBLICAN SUCCESS on TUESDAY
MEANS
More trusts: more monopolies; more
subsidized millionaires-C arneg es,
Dwighis, Algers and Dolans; the fich
richer, the poor poorer;
Increased taxation on all tne neces-
saries Of life;
Continued white slavery in iron and
textile industries; highly protected"
wages, eighiy-five cents to ninety-hve
cents day;
Total destruction Of American ship
ping interests;
The return to power OF Dorseys,
Brsdys, Dudleys and Credit Mobilier
awindlers who formerly disgraced the
Nation.
And the closing OF all American
goollen mills.-New York Herald.
Now. LOOK YoU.-Most articles can
be produced at a cheaper rate in this
country than in any other country on
the globe.
What, in spite of the pauper wages
paid abroad? Yes, certainly; provided,
of course, we are not compelled to pay
more than our competitors for the raw
materials. II we do not start fair, II you
handicap the American and give the
Englishmen all the advantage, then as
suredly II can't be done.
The reason is that our working classes
have brains In their fingers. They can
do more in given time aud do 1t better
than the average foreign wage-earner.
II the latter can make six articles in
day the former will make eight, because
he Is not a clumsy automaten but man
Of intelligence, and the increase in pro-
duction very much more than counter
balances any difference in wages.-Ex-
change.
RATHER ODD.-Mr. Chapleau OF the
Canadian Ministry has also expressed his
views on the American situation. he
says openly that he hopes to see Mr..
Harrison elected.
II Is wonderful, what an interest these
outlying districts, these outskirts Of the
United states, such as Canada and Eng
land, are taking In our politics.
Rather odd, though, that, they should
prefer the Republican TO the Democratic
policy. Perhaps they think protection
is the best thing in the .world--for them
themselves.
THE WORKING MANS VIEw.-Under
our present system, as have already
ho inn mo "a
for higher wages all the employer has to
do is TO close the factory and sell oil the
stock on hand, oftentimes masking the
strike an excuse for charging The con-
sumner more for his goods. This excuse
was very pointedly exercised during the
Lehigh Valley difficulties last summer,
when the combine" forced up the price
of cosl to an exorbitant figure in many
cities, although the stock of coal on hand
was not materially affected as 10 guam
tty II by the time the stock is all sold
the men are not starved into submission,
the ring can import foreigners TO take
their places. If strike occurred and
the home manufacturers could not sup
ply the public, then the consumers would
import the goods just as the employers
now do when they import labor. The
dread OF losing their market through the
importation of foreign goods would al
ways maketh manufacturers think twice
before refusing the reasonable demands
of the men, as they now do.-Belford's
Magazine.
LEVI p. MORTON "TRUsr."-Does the
new English Salt Trust, that has already
multiplied by three the price Of common
salt in England, intend to unite with the
ssltmakers of this country in the creation
of an international salt trust, aud to
raise, as Mr.. Blaine says, "the price of
salt 300 per cent to consumers in both
Countries Is this the aim aud purpose
of the English tIustl Are the people of
this country 10 be compelled by such q
combination to pay three times as much
Tor Their salt as they pay nowy Such Is
the prediction Of Mr.. Blaine. = Exchange.

The Alexandria Gdzette's Washington

told personal friend who arrived here
this morning that it was impossible for
the Republicans TO carry New York I'M

thousands on the day Of election; also
that the National Committee is certain
of the gen uineness of the Dudley letter

Tribune to discredit and shake of Colonel
Dudley is both mean and Intellectual.

sents neither General Harrison nor any
one except himself. either upon the Com
