Reasons Tor the Coming Strikes,
Since Congress adjourned 1 have crossed our
country, have Travelled N6rth and South. Every
where found improvement Labor was never
more fully employed than it is to-day. The very
strikes impending are the efforts of labor to use
its power to secure its rights when labor is in
greatest demand. New manufactures spring up
iN every town; new industries are born; new
mines reveal unsuspected wealth. This tin 1
hold in my hand was given to me at TemescaL in
California. II is the first smelling from great
tin mine opened by the Mckinley tariff.
Those spirited encounters with Germany and
England about Samoa. with Britain over the
Bering Sea fisheries, with Italy concerning the
mob and the Malta, convince the country and the
world that our Secretary Of State, with his varied
and versatile powers is the fit successor in office
of Webster. of Clay. of Jefferson. Never before
has our country won such respect and honor
abroad as it enjoys to-day. In the shining path
legislation and strong administra-
ton lie the best hopes for 1892.
We can never consent to the suppression of the
suffrage 4 permanent resource of Il free re-
public. We can never abandon the cardinal Re
publican doctrines of 4 free ballot and a fair
count. We strive by our new law. to put down
trust monopoles and we are curbing the railroads
and reaching out at Jay Gould's telegraphs. We
have restricted immigration AND heayed the just
complaint of natives that American citizenship is
too easy and too cheap. We are using contract
labor and exclusive acts 10 check the landing on
shores of moral dynamite, whether from
China, Poland. Hungary or Italy. We whose
controlling majority are farmers, are in sympathy
with their demands and are using the annual
product of our silver mines as money. Our party
was founded to make labor free. 1t gave and still
gives homestead to labor on the public lands
1t defends the American wage rate. 1t has
gathered into our cities 80 percent of our popu-
lation. The same party Is the safest instrument
to work out the newest demands of labor, and
bring the reign of common people. tPro-
lOnged and hearty cheers.1
