letter in the body of the will, and one let

plain Evidence Given by the Late
Herman Raster.in Favor
of Protection.

The death of Herman Raster of the
raaois Stats Zeitung, which occurred only
~ DAVIS ago at a small watering place
I, Germany, has occasione9 comment in
10 rawspapers all over the United States,
u Mr.. Raster was widely known as man
liability and independence. Mr.. Raster 5
narer. the Stats Leltung, has been indie
rsi5pnt. with strong democratic tenden-
rs and the Chic 90 Tribune is every
more as an ansi-tarlff organ. Under
tbssa circumstances it is difficult for the
utilization of the following article which
5nreared in the Tribune of July "a
.In a recent letter from Herman Raster
rrinted in the Stats Zeitung he has some.
Hing to say about the people n the neigh
b5rhood of the little bathing place where
he is staying. They are weavers by trade,
and under average circumstances each of
them earns about 40 cents a day on which
Il support himself, wife and what children
he NAV have. The democratic free trade
orator will sav at once that everything is
much cheaper abroad than here and that
tbe 40 cents are the equivalent to a great
many more in American money.
This is Mr. Rasters statement of
what the weaver buys with his wages
daily for himself wife and four children :
Rent of single room they occupy, which
contains loom, cooking utensils and bed,
and is l2xl5 feet "a cents per day; s.
pound loaf of bread, made of rye and bar
lev. 1872 cents; a quart and a half of
Skinned milk, IL cents: half a peck of
potatoes, SO cents; a quarter Of peck Of
A5ur, a. cents; salt 08 cent, kerosene, l
cent; butter, IL cents; toaaI, 27.6 cents
This does not leave much leeway for meat
and coal or clothes. The weaver buys
every two or three weeks half a pound Of
meat with bones and pays about Z cents
for it. In winter he buys hundredweight
of coal, for which he pays 26 cents and
which lasts him ten days.
"Ihe American workman is in the habit
of living somewhat better than this, and
would not care to drop down TO this
frugal fare. But he will have to if his
democratic friends force him to enter into
competition with men who live as these
