THE LITTLE TARIFF"

To the Editor: The average price per
day paid the workmen OF free trade Great
Britain Is 81 06. Ohio workmen averaoe
Sl'76 day: What do you think of the
"robber tariff ?"-Toledo Blade.
we think that never in the history Of
modern civilization have any people
been 80 robbed by the money power,
trusts and combines, as the American
people are today.
But the "robber tariff" beats them all |;
6O cents on the dollar. Just think oft
Mcbride, Commissioner of labor
statistics for Ohio, in 1889, says, "the
average wages of 440,953 women in
manufactures In Ohio, is S217,SS, or SO
cents per day. Men in shops, average
productS72O, of which he receives S3l6
or only46 per cent of the product, or
LILO day, just 4 cent more than the
Blades English wages, and wages were
higher then than now.
He says, ''in England labor gets 50
per cent of the product"
The bureau of statistics in Pennsyl-
vania says this of wages in tariff pro-
tected industries: "Laborers in mining
districts, Sl7S al per annum, or 81 cents
per day."
Miners, S23475 per year, or 70 cents
a day.
After the strike in Braidwocd coke
mines, Investigation proved miners got
only $1825 n month, and had to pay SO
a month for the poorest hovel of a
house to live In, and that left but 80
cents a day on which to keep family,
and the "robber tariff would now take
30 cents of that,if spent in tariff goods.
Just think of family living on 20
cents day, while the husband and
father is working in a Republican high
tariff protected industry.
Strike? Who in thunder wouldn't
strike, and shoot, too, rather than he
starved under such "robber tariff"
wages?
The Blade asks what we think of the
"robber taritf?'
We think it rightly named, and that
it Is a damnable imposition. J. II. r..

TWO vAUApLN OPINIONS.

Wicked Republican papers that have
no regard for the truth speak of Senator
Hill as the saloon-keepers' candidate.
Now the truth about Senator Hill is, he
never tasted intoxicating liquors, while
on tho otber hand President Harrison,
who Is Presbyterian elder, imports
whisky by the barrel for his own private
se.-Steubenville Gazette.
The Gazette is hard hitter, especially
in this matter, which so thoroughly
illustrates the Hypocrisy Of the Re-
publicans. The latter would make a
campaign of this kind against Senator
Hill, and certain ministers, who are
chasing the fesh-pots harder than they
do his satanic majesty in this world,
would raise great cry Of the same
tenor against Hill, but the fact that
President Harrison, professed church
member, keeps keg of Scotch whisky
In the basement Of the White House
and the Vice President runs licensed
bar in building he owns in Washing
ton, would not trouble their pious souls
a particle.-Mansfield Shield.

BILL MCKINLEY OF the Mckinley bill
has received n present of n pair of hlan-
kets from some admirers in Oregon. Now,
let Bill be blanketed and led TO the stables
as a dark horse he has had his day,-Plain
Dealer.
We don't look at the situation In that
way. The Republicans will have to
make the campaign on the Mckinley
tariff, whoever is nominated; why not
take the author of the tariff. Again q
new man would be stronger than IIar-
risOn. Our people seem to think four
years Is enough for man of Harrison's
size. Mckinley is more popular man
than Harrison, has a better looking
face and head on him, more agpres-
sive nose, and better shaped pair of
legs for running. The trouble with
Mckinley, seems to be his over caution.
If he should announce himself now as
candidate boldly and with confidence
he might be in it.

Novelty In Temperance Work.

FORT DODGE, Ia, March 2S.--Rev.
Father McMahon, the Catholic pastor at
Britt, has opened novel temperance
crusade. AT the close of the morning
services and before the congregation left
their seats, the priest called out the
names of about dozen young men, and
asked them to stand before the altar.
Those summoned were noted for their
indulgence in intoxicants. Standing in
the pulpit before them the priest preached
an eloquent sermon on the evils of in
temperance, and implored the young
men to reform. They were all visibly
affected, and when the appeal was ended
each took the pledge. The congrega-
ton gathered around the converts, and
a lovefeast ensued.

MORE OF THE TIN PLATE FRAUD.

The following item is from hat old
and reliable organ of Republicanism,
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
Last week the shipments increased to
an amount that is in excess of those ever
received at the Office. The price per
box under the new law is $11 40, against
S11 under the old law, while the govern
meut collects S2.40 more per box.
We are wondering now what has be-
come of all those home tin plate facto-
ries, that filed such an interesting spot
in the bowels of every one of the Gov
ernor's campaign speeches last fall.
In commenting on this deplorahle
condition the CleS Gland Press observes
as follows:
"This is rough on the Mckinley law
1t is rougher on the patriot who is try
ing to make American tin. His COM
petition has increased. Prices have
not. What now? The American tin
makers know McKinley's address. Let

In commenting on this swindle, the
Plain Dealer says:
"That is the Republican idea of "fair
apportionment" reduced to practice.
Gov. Mckinley talked solemnly about
the propriety of dealing justly in redis-
tricting and setting the Democrats
good example. Republican organs de-
nounced the wicked Democratic GER
rymander' and assured the people that
the Republican legislature would do
the fair thing. This is the result"

THE Republican State Committee
met at Columbus last evening, and de.
cided to hold the State Convention at
Cleveland on Wednesday and Thurs
day, April 9th and 28th. There was a
contest for craftsmanship of the Con
vention between the Sherman and For
aker factions. The Sherman faction,
in order to make sure thing Of it, put
up VIM. Mckinley, Jr., for chairman,
while the Forakerites presented Chas.
Z. Griffin of the Maumee valley. A
ballot was taken with the following re-
suit: Griffin II, Mckinley 10, Griffin
weighs 219 lbs. while Mckinley only
weighs 189 This accounts for it.
Times are perilous, and only heavy
weight men are in demand.

THE defeat of Governor Mckinley

ican State convention, and the election

Tarily over that body illustrate the dis
ruption and distraction now besetting
the Republican party of Ohio. No per.
son can doubt that the Republicans of
this State are to-day in the weakest con-
dition they have ever known In pres

twain, torn to pieces, by internal dissen-
tions, and in all things prepared to
meet crushing defeat at the hands of

THE rumor that Claus Spreckles has
gone into the sugar trust has been con-
tirmed. Heretofore Claus has been a
good deal of a trust in himself, and the
reduction in the price of sugar was the
result of the fierce competition. 1t now
remains to be seen if the Mckinley bill,
even in the matter of sugar, will prove
the benefit claimed. The price will un-
doubtedly be raised again, but the
bounty the people must pay to the
sugar trust will go on as usual. Great
is Mckinley If he is judged by his words
instead OF his works. - Plain Dealer.

A WAR is on already in Mahoning
county between the rival clans of King

have primary election, and whoever
has a majority take all the delegates

probably a divided delegation. Now if
