The Republican party sowed an I'M
mense seed Of promises ia the Harrison
year, and the people were tod IL at
there would be rich harvest OF high
wages and prosperity
The harvest is all tares, and the
masses of the people begin to realize
the fact that they have been egregrious-
~ fooled and made to play the goose
act" for the benefit of the great Doodle
monopoly party. Wewould like to bear
where the workingmen have been ben
ented, aud why wages are lower ana
trusts more powerful than under the
abused rule Of the Democracy.
We hear Of low wages and strikes
aud higher prices caused by the comb
nation of capital, Tut the pretended
championship of labor by the Republi-
can party is proved to be 4 delusionand
snare. az may be seen 10y Mr.. Carna-
gie's performance in freezing out his
employees.
The people of the United States are SO
very good natured, that 1T j. natural
and logical In certain sense, when
thoy allow themselves H. be sold out
with a bogus pretencc Of protection OF
labor. But by the Proyideniial decree
OF truth and justice the rogues are pro
ceeding to give themselves away, and
it is becoming a recognized fact that
the Republican party in its champion
ship of labor is the verisst fraud ever
known in the affairs Of a country.
The nottingham Is told to vote for
the Protection party, and as soon as
the Protection party gets the election
he il Tut down to starvation wages,
and, though this has been done for
twenty years, still he goes on playing
the fool and making himself the slave
OF an ironclad aristOcracy, that has no
IN )re soul for him than the devil for "A
purchased sinner.
The American workman accepts the
monstrOus doctrine that he must labor
only for home market. when ali the
time his skill is entitled TO have raw
materials free of duty in order that he
may compete with the whole world and
increase the market, aud thereby IN
crease competition for labor.
A furniture factory in the town Of
Grand Rapids, Mich, makes chairs and
stools for the chiefs in interior Africa.
and the same firm has made furniture
for the White House in Washington.
Why do We not make other articles
ibI Alil'h anu anu hu0biU''' $780,
every other country of the worldY
Simply because the monopolists ow II
Congress and maintain system of
tariff aud duties that keep Us FROM
getting the raw materials at the prices
that workmen in other countries get
them.
The Republican party makes the gov
eminent tax tin 80 that tin roof. or u
tin plate, or a tin coffee pot, or TN
case to ship fruit or fish or toba eco IN
must cost twice as much AZ 1t pes IN
Canada.
And all the time We have one hun
dred millions more revenue than we
can spend, even with the aid OF Tan
ner's bogus pensions, that cannot last
even with the Tanner fraud more than
ten years longer.
The worker IN a WOODEN factory -
turned out Of employment, while he il

The protection is only for very few
American wool growers, when in jus

thereby make wooden goods for the
whole world, instead Of for our own
home market, controlled by the monop'
olists. 49,. -
