I'D times and (ictorv for
followed the anactment
.ofyvc DMriff law, and Hard times
aud the er{lsncall of the paYy enacting
them have followed eyefy movement
toward lower tariff faiing toward free
trade. We receivedNie greatest injury
q possible against tie Mckinley bill in the
last election. If the Democrats had
won by Legitimate and gradual growth
of strength, winning by a bare few thou
sand here and there, showing perma-
nent advancement, the result would
nave been very dscouraging. The re-
suit was SO very hysterical that the pen
'dulum may and will return when the peo-
pie see the actual facts Already
the new manufactures OF tin plate are
starting, like Congressman Niedring
haus' of st Louis, and within ninety
days they will be manufacturing tinware
OF all kinds and selling il at lower rates
than before the enactment OF the Me-
kinley bill. This means not only hun
'dredS of millions kept ~ home instead OF
being sent abroad, but n means employ
ment at large wages IN many tens OF
thousands of American Vaborers. The
efforts of the RepublicanParty must be
r--dhact i'm showing the fatiiiy that its
prosperity is to be Increased by the
L
laborer must be shOwA that be can't

free trade wages. Il emocrats be-
ginning with 1888, len addressing
themselves very shQ 10 those larger
elements In Ameu who have fixed
incomes-those W I've salaries and
those who receitS~ yes They tell
these people that q have. fixed in
come, and, therefore, NJ ieir interests are
to have everything at khe lowest price.
"The Democrats co Zeal the fact that
in bringing free tra@l prices they will
also bring free traG wages and free
trade salaries. The Rargin on tariff to
preserve in America Is always the mar
gin of difference between the wages of
European and American workingmen.
The revision Of the tariff was made along
this line. As the new factories start up,
as sugar becomes Tree, as il ought 10
have become before the election, this
class of people will Sc, the benefits, We
had the whole hurt lin the last fight
without any of the benefits. The in
creased prices took effect and the in
!, creased wages did NOT before election.

Republicans. IL shows the work OF (

cfats have made their press wonder @
fully aggressive. Whenever they see {
man growing strong in the Republican 7
party they fall upon him and try to beat
him into the earth. The Republican G
papers are deficient, first, in that they a
do not defend their leaders, and, second, I
that they do not attack the Democratic /
leaders. Our press needs 20 hit Demo-
cratic head whenever il sees 1t in more 1
