that, by the mere commercial working of
the process, apart from the patent, each of
the five partners retired after fourteen
years, from the Sheffield works, with
| eighty zone times the amount of his sub
scribed capital. or an average of nearly
cent per cent every two months-a result
probably unprecedented in the annals of
commerce.
Iron worker" probably we'll knows the
difference in the amount Of wages paid in
England and America to the workmen en-
ployed in the relative works, and how the
lower wages in England so materially aid
ed Sir Henry aessemer in realizing near
iy cent per crn5, every two months, a re-
suit probably Unprecedented in the annals
of commerce Nor must Iron Worker
fail to remember that the immense profits
referred to We're realized apart from the
patent.
A young republican, writes, ''some of
the workingmen here are being told by
democratic orators that Cleveland was al
ways the friend of American labor. Our
republican friends deny it and claim that
ne was one of the worst enemies to Ameri-
can laboring men that ever held high
place in this country. What is the fact?'
The following, prepared with great care in
1884, is strictly truthful. It shows up Mr..
Clvveland's conduct relative to American
labor, etc
WHO AND WHAT is CLEvELANDP
He is man who has never shown one
atom of sympathy with American labor or
desire for the advancement or encourage
ment of American manufactures or other
industries
An implacab!e enemy of the working
man. The labor associations of New
York urged the abolition of convict labor,
a majority of 100 900 votes sustaining
their wishes. Cleveland's influence as
governor was thrown against the passage
of a statute to carry into effect the express
ed will of the people.
The legislature of New York passed a
bill reducing the fare to FIVE cents on the
elevated railways in New York, so largely
patronized by laboring men going to and
from their work. Cleveland vetoed it. 1t
is claimed that this was done in the inter
est of Tilden, heavy stakeholder in the
roads.
A bill was passed to prevent orphan and
other children of tender years in the
to be worked in gangs like state prison
convicts. Cleveland vetoed it.
The bill passed to cut down pilots's fees
he approved, as it was favorable to foreign
shipowners whose vessels so largely enter
into and depart from the port of New
York
A bill to tax each engineer 50 he APP
proved, because it was a tax on labor.
The civil service bill met his approval
because its provisions were calculated to
prevent workingmen from obtaining an
office and was favorable to the chances of
college and university graduates and dudes
generally.
He vetoed bill that would have limit
ed the labor of car drivers and conductors
to twelve hours day.
He vetoed the lien law that would have
secured the wages of laborers and me-
chanics.
A man so utterly void of sympathy with
and so uniformly hostile to the interests
and welfare of the working classes is not
fit for president Of the United States. The
laborine men of the country ought never to
put him in power.

Woodward will make no statement in re-

no, than from any purpose on his part to
