There is paper house in Allan
ia. No wood, brick, iron or other
material is used about the building.
At 1O8 Decatur street a neat little
store, painted sky blue, has attract
ed considerable attention for the
past week. The gaudy color is not
the cause of the little bpilding being
the object of so much attention; but
the material of which it is con-
structed makes it a novelty. The
store is owned by Mr.. August Sin

named Smith (spelled of course in

not catch on fire as easily as q

Why is it that in nearly every
protected industry in the country
there has been heavy reduction
in wages since the Republicans
elected Mr.. Harrison2 Where are
those brisk times and high wages,
and prosperous working people,
about which Republican orators
and newspapers and campaign
workers did SO much boasting?
why are most of the iron, mills of
Pennsylvania shut DOWN. Why
are about all of the New Jersey
pottery establishments idle2. Why
the recent failures among the coal
operators in Pennsylvania, and the
suspension of mining in the Mon.
ongahela region? What oceasioned
the immense Fall River weayer's
strikes in which they have just
bee aefeatedf Why is the glass
trade in Wheeling and elsewhere
SO depressed2
We put those questions to the
working people, who were crammed
full of Republican lies about the
loveliness of protection. Let them
find the answer for themselves.
Here is an expression from a
workman who addressed meeting
of the textile workers of Philadel.
phia few evenings ago:
"About the time of certain
Presidential election you were told
that if a certain candidate should be
elected, you would be protected and
