WAGES LOWER IN OHIO.

A REPUBLICAN REPORT ON THE EFFECT OF THE
TAR1FF-TURNING THE TABLES ON McKIN.
LEY-THE LABOR COMMISSIONER OF OHIO, A
REPUBLICAN, FINDS THAT THE PROFITS UPON
CAPITAL IN THE PROTECTED INDUSTRIES OF
OHIO HAVE INCREASED AND THE WAGES OF
LABOR DECREAsED-THE REPORT SEES LIGHT
AFTER BEING SUPPRESSED.
Nep York, Oct. 3O.-The Democratic Ma
tional Committee gives out for publication the
following circular:
"Gov. Mckinley, of Ohio, and other repub-
lican leaders have been devoting much time
to the presentation of alleged facts set forth
sioner of New York, because said report,
which is made up from statements from en-
ployers benefited by protective tariff. shows
that wages have been advanced since the
Mckinley bill went into effect
cit would appear that Gov Mckinley has
purposely closed his eyes to conditions in his
own State, and although aware of the fact
that the report Of the labor commissioner of
Ohio for the year 1891 shows that labor has
lost and capital won by the operation of the
tariff bill which bears his name, he has
avoided any reference to the report and was
largely instrumental in having the printing
of the report, which was filed in his Office on
January 16, delayed until after the election.
'"The State printer has had the report cleo
trotyped for over two months, but has no
power to printit, and the republican printing
commission, consisting of the secretary of the
State, auditor Of State and the State attorney
general, all republicans, have sought to sur
press the report by failing to furnish the print
er with paper The reason for their desire to
suppress the report is evidenced by its con-
tents.
1.-THE report Of Labor Commissioner Nc
Bride for 1890 shows that after deducting the
cost of material from the value of manufac-
tured product, the balance, which is the joint
earnings of capital and labor, is divided as
follows: Capital 81 "a per cent, and labor
81. 80 per cent.
"Whereas the report which has been sup
pressed for 1891. shows that out of the joint
earnings of capital and labor, capital receiv-
ed 50. II per cent and labor COPS per cent
This clearly indicates that the operation OF
the Mckinley bill in Ohio has served to in
crease the profits upon capital and to decrease
the earnings of labor; in other words, it veri
fies the truth of democratic claims that the re-
publican protective tariff system robs the
many and enriches the few
'In 1890 the 50, 305 employees engaged in in
dustrial esta blishmentS had an average annu-
al earning Of S492.91. IR1S91 the 99.257 EN-
ployees had an average annual earning OF
S470.O5 loss, which compared with 1890, OF
S22.S6 per employee.
'sThe coal miners of 1890 earned 1868 AZ
while in 1891 their earnings averaged S524.S
per employee, loss of $3.50.
''In noting the industries in which wages
have increased or decreased it is remarkable
fact that the increase in nearly every instance
was in the non protected industries, whereas,
the protected Industries, such as mining, agri-
cultural works, engine and boiler works,
stoves and iron castings, &C., are credited with
reduction in wages"

A triple wedding took place last week in

THE NEWS OF THE DAY.

The great New York lawyer, David Dudley
Field, has presented Washington & Lee Uni
versity with his entire library numbering
over 1000 volumes. The gift was made
through his old friend, Hon. John Randolph
Tucker. 1t will be remembered that Mr..
Field, though Republican,, assisted MI.
Tucker in the argument before the electoral
board in regard to the vote of Florida in the
Tilden-Hayes contest of '76 and II. An in
innate acquaintance was begun at that time,
and the correspondence between these two
great Jurists on subjects Of International and
constitutional law alone would be valua BILE
addition to any law library.
A battle occurred at the winter quarters of
the Wallace circus at Perue. Ind, early Tues
day morning, between four of the elephants.
for some time enmity had existed between two
of them, which eliminated during the alb
sence of keeper Sweeney. Diamond, whose
weight is four tons. was the aggressor, but
Prince was his match, and succeeded in break
ing his tusk and fairly crowding him through
the heavy brick wall of the building, which
fell upon them. All the elephants broke
loose from their chains and engaged in the
melee. For half an hour pandemonium
/
reigned. Quiet was finally restored, but not
before the elephants were badly hurt. The
place presented the appearance Of slaugh
ter house. The noise could be heard for a
mile.
The Monte Carlo gambling company at its

The farming community of the town of

The seven States put down as doubtful, and
representing 63 votes are wisconsin, -;
New Hampshire 4; North Carolina, IL;
West Virginia, 6: California. 8; Connecticut,
g. and Massachusetts,, Is: AS 223 votes are
necessary to choice, Cleveland, according
to the table. lacks 12votes. Can he get them
from the doubtful So? think he can. West
Virginia and Connecticut would give him just
70; North Carolina and West Virginia would
give II, and so would North Carolina and
Connecticut. Massachusetts alone would
give 15 Or North Carolina and any one of
the other doubtful States would furnish more
than enough. The old North State generally
does her duty, and although have just put
her down as doubtful, I don't believe she
will fail this time.
It would seem that Cleveland's chances of
election by the people are excellent, but if he
is not, the election will be thrown in the
House. Harrison cannot possibly carry a
ma iority of the electoral vote.
ESTIMATES OF THE NEW YORK VOTE.
Two of the best political experts have been
going over the State county by county, for
several weeks past, one for the New York
Herald, which has all along been decidedly
anti Cleveland, and the other for the Times,
which has just as strongly advocated his cleo
ton. Their conclusions, however, substan-
TALLY agree as to the probable result. TAXI

Hon. Basil B. Gordon, Chairman of the
State Democratic Committee in a recent
interview said that the outlook for demo-
cracy in the State was becoming more and
more favorable that the party was well
organized and that he had every reason to
hope for victory next Tuesday But added
he, much as has been done, much yet re-
mains to be done. If the effort now being
put forth is kept up till the polls close on
election day the victory is ours, but if neg
]ected we invite defeat. Our modification
would be unbounded should our own State

defeating the Democratic nominees. In
dividual Aid uHremittlmg effort should
be the part OF every Democrat

from this time forth, that tie best possible
results may obtain. Chairman Gordon is
thoroughly posted DIS to the political status,
not only of our own party, but of both the
others, and he assures Is we have the
voters for decisive vic DRY if we only get
them out.

INDIANA IS Law AGAINST BRIBERY.
The new election law of Indiana will
make it very difficult and dangerous for the

mense sums of money sent into that State

from the person attempting to bride him.
is exempt from punishment himself for re.
ceiving the bride, and is further allowed to
keep the amount paid. The man who
would sell his vote could scarcely be ex-
pected to deal honorably with the one who
degrades him with bride, especially if be
can make for himself $4,000 by the deal
and yet be exempt from punishment.
1t is needless to say this law is violently
opposed by the republicans and has by them
been taken to the courts where it was hoped
a partizan court would act upon the mat
ter before the election; but in this they
were disappointed. The Australian ballot
system Row operative in that State will
further tend to discourage the republican
workers, for among the s'foaters in blocks
OF five" there are many it is believed who
will accept the corrupters bride, but in the
privacy OF the secret compartment of the
election booth, take delight in Furnishing
the moral obliquy of the party that brides
them by voting against it.
