A Troublesome Question
From the Chester Clarion.

The tariff bids fair to become a
troublesome question again long Gre
the end OF President, term. The
wOrkingmcn are every where looking
for the prosperity aud good times
promised them by the Republican
party and are meeting with but
Indifferent sncccss. The twine trust
has served to open the eyes OF the
American farmer and he is in q fair
way to receive an education in the
next few months which he has been
sadly needing for many years. IL q
number Of the great factories whose
workmcn carried protection banners
last year, the wages have been cut and
the force reduced. The railroads are
as general thing reducing the number
Of men IN their employ. and it il
whispered ;hat they are also preparing
10 make An assault upon the Locomotive
Brotherhood. In Short, the situation
is such that grave apprehensions are
entertained by men who have made
the matter Of labor study for years,
and the conclusion of majority is
that unless the eight hour system be
inauguratcd the surplus OF labor will
soon prove sufficient to scduce the
rate Of wages to a starvation basis.
The workmcn themselves are begin
ming to see that il is not the tariff but
the law of supply and demand
-(strcngthened frequently by trade
unioD) which fixes the price OF their
labor. This is ind,sputsbly proven by
the fact that the wOrkmen in the
protected industries who are not men,
bers Of union receive no more pay
than the workmcn at other places.
These Iesons are being learned IN the
school of experience BY many and they
will never be forgotten. The protect
ion humbng is beginning 10 be thorug-
ly understood aud few can be found,
in 1892, who will be willing to pin
thei- faith TO the promiaes Of the high
tariff party. The cities were largely
Democratic in the last campaign aud
in the next they will be joined by the
country people-the class which has
been steadily robbed for many years in
