Reid an Enemy Of Labor.

The nomination of Mr. Whitelaw Reid
for the vice presidency will, as an ex-
change aptly puts it, give responsibility
but not strength to the republican ticket.
A fortur ale marriage made him multi-
mil,iona re, while his tastes made him an
aristocfst. or lordly mien and imperioIs
manners, he looks over the heads of the
plain people and culti7stes only the &C
ouaintauce of a rich and favored few
During the whole of his journalistic
career he has been an enemy OF labor,
and could he have his way, the laboring
man wou.d be mere newer OF wood and
drawer o. water. He has done his utmost to
destroy the printers union and all other
trades unions. he believes that wealth
makes right and that the men who toll
for living should re dependents of the
rich. Expecting the nomination for the
vi:e presidency, and in order to conciliate
the men whom he fought these many
years, he recently admitted unton men
into his employ. But this step will avail
him nsught, as his insincerity is too ap-
parent.
MIR. Reid was not nominated TO catch
votes, but to raise money with which to
debauch voters. His nomination will
suit Wall street and the Anelicians of the
east, but il will not prove popular among
the toiling masses. TIE enemy of labor
cannot expect the votes of those who la

perquisities for governor. There is no
truer democrat in Illinois. nor one more
fitted by nature an nurture to be a lead

he can carry Cook county and conse>
quently be elected. Mr.. Altgeld be-
!ieres in the great issue of tariff reform,
is sound on all other national questions

did in advocating what he thought was

ViI1ainous Taxation,

In a series of papers have shown up
the hardships that the present villainous
tariff imposes on you-a tariff system
conceived and enacted during four years
of civil war, and which during twenty
two years of peace was always altered
and amended in the interest of monopoly
and restriction. For more than twenty
years the great tariff swindle has been
like an incubus upon this fair land. To
the economist it passes all comprehension
how the American farmers, whose in
dustry, sobriety, intelligence, and may
say religious habits, are the pride. and
malnstay of this great country, now
counting more than 10000, 900, could
have for so many years acquiesced and
borne the hardship of such villainous,
excessive taxation as our present tariff
imposes on them.
Well may the economist stand aghast
when he considers how anxious the farm
er Is to get two or three cents bushel
more for, say, 100 bushels of wheat he
has for sale, which at the utmost only
amounts to three dollars difference; and
yet when he has to expend only one
quarter of the sum he receives for 100
bushels of wheat in Iowa or Kansas
say, for instance, eighteen dollars all
told-in winter dresses for his wife and
daughters, he actually pays over eight
dollars in taxes on account of the tariff,
besides the profit that the several mer-
chants make on the goods. OF course
| this is only single item in the tax list,
as have already shown more in detail
how this tax system presses all the farm
ing population in every article they have
| to buy and consume, while the surplus
| agricultural products they raise they
have to sell at home at the lowest price
| prevalent IN London and LIVERPOOL.
