the second month Of this much lauded
halleluiah administration, ana how
does IL look 10 ugY We are all paguen'
gers Ia the same boat on llfes seething
sea, aud let us take q look NJ the cold
blOoded man In the pilot house, and
see how no ls running things, We pay
him $4,000 q year salary, and furnish
him good, big White House with
government Beryants) 10 live IN, besides,
lIo has lust drawn his frat months
salary Of about $1,000 contributed TO
the treasury by the muscle and Drawn
OF laborlng men.
What do you aeoY You will romem.
her what was told us 80 eloquontly last
fall, by the plausible Protection orators,
who we're doomed by brass bands and
Mckinley clubs, Of deludod dupes, In
linen busters.
We ali know that they claimed TO be
the champions Of labor and advocates
Of better wages for laboring men.
How is IL nowp
Recently the Plttsburg Gazette, one
of those Republican organs that h0wlS
for protection the year round, made the
! following significant confesslon;
ut is very absurd TO contend that be-
cause the protective syatem le likely To
be continued, In u modified form, for
an indefinite period, wages must neceg'
garily advance, strikes becomes uunec
essary and trusts cease TO exist, To
talk thus 10 TO talk nonsense"
How does this kind Of nonsense
strike you now, my fellow laborers
journeying In the SCOT and smoke,
through this vale Of toarsY
Did you hear anything like this pro
ylouB 10 last November
Read some Of McKinley's speeches
and answer,
What do you think about o protec
tive tariff protecting the laboring mar
nowY
Look abroad, or ut home, either, fol
your answer.
The ten thousand needy and pinchec
weayers at Fall River, who are reCeiy
ing absolutely less wages gauged by
product than the English or German
woayerg, ask for a small measure OF
these great returns, secured by The
manufacturers, through the operation
of the tariff laws obtained on the falsl
plea OF protection TO American labor
Did they get ltY
No, the mills shut down and the!

The tariff 10 high enough to give th,
iron manufacturers of Pennsylvania
"large fortunes every year when th
times are good" according 10 Repub

reductions In pay In that industry, sine
Gen. Harrison was elected, 10 the tru
story OF 10 day.
The tarifl is high enough 10 give th
carpet manufactures and glllss makers
q great advantage In the home marke,
DO the cut In the Higgins factory 4
Now York, and the 10 per cent, reduC
tion In the Du Pauw glass works In In
diana fulfil the promises Of the Repul

your answer In the starsl
Labor cuts everywhere, since HarrI
sons election.
This iB the record
You cannot escape from II. An
you, laboring men In linen dusterl
you poor dupes, you have made thi
record and dug your own industriu
graves.
And now you old soldier; a. wor,
with you. You have helped 10 elect
majority In both houses OF Congress.
Where Is the extra session OF Cor
gresB that was promised, TO pass the dt
pendent pension blllY
Have you heard anything but silence

Congress adjournedP
Where are the great Republlca
newspapers, that whooped up the so

Are the types talking for you now
. No, they are talking against you.
Every prominent Republican new
