THE TARIFF AND STRIKES
Congressman Springer Tries to Mislead
Some of the Voters of Michigan.
Speech at Detroit in Which important Facts
Were 0mitted-Frenchmen Praying for
the Election of Grover Cleveland.
WHAT SPRINGER NEGLECTED To SAY.

some Facts About the Tariff and Strikes the
Democratic Demagogue Might Have Told.
Special TO the indianapolis Journal
DETROIT, Aug. 25.-This was political
day. at the exposition grounds, and the
Democrats trotted out an arch-demaRogue
to address the ten thousand people present
Congressman William NJ. Springer. of Ill!-
nois, was the man. His speech was re-
markable, not so much for what was ut
tered, but for what was omitted. In dis
cussing the relation of the tariff TO strikes,
he said:
From 1876 to 1860, period of fifteen
years of low tarlff-a Democratic tariff, If
Won please, for revenue only-there were
only seventy -four strikes and lock-
made. There were quite number OF strikes
during this period reported. but they were
of little or no Importance. Altogether
there werc not two hundred strikes and look
outs during this whole period OF hfteen
years During the past fifteen years there
have beenover six thousand strikes and lock-
outs in the United states. From 1876 to
1880 there are no statistics as TO the number
of persons invOlved; but from 1881 to 1890.
inclusive, there were over million persons
involved in such strikes and lockOuts."
Mr.. Springer Intentionally omitted TO
state that In the fifteen years, from 1916 to
1860. when "a Democratic tariff. il you
please, for revenue only" reigned there
were few manufactures and q population
that ranged from twenty to thirty mill
IONS. consequently affording little oppor-
tunity for strikes He also omitted to
tell his hearers that in the last fifteen
years, under the Republican protective
system. the value of manufactures have in
creased to nearly ten billion dollars year
and the population to over sixty-two mill
IONS 1t is dull-headed schOol-boy who
cannot see that with the remarkable in
crease in manufactures and workmen,
strikes would naturally be more numerous
than in the good Democratic" days when
Americans were content to buy Europe's
pauper-msde goods, when workshops were
closed and skilled artisans were forced to
seek hvelihoois by driving the plow or
cutting and piling up c0rd-wood.
Mr.. Springer also had something to say
about the calling ont of the militia to pro-
tect the property of the Carnegies and 20
assist in preventing disorders. This was
also attributable to the tariff, according
to bis views. He did not explain, however,
why. If that was the case, the three Gov
ernors Who have called out troops recent
ly were free-trade Democrats Pattison, of
Pennsy lvania; Flower of New York and
Buchanan. of Tennessee

Another strike of Carnegie Men

PITTsBURG. Aug. 25.-Over two hundred
men from the Twenty min .h-street Carnegie
mills. Lawrenceville. quit work yesterday
Ever since the strike began the
forge and bumper departments at the
lower mill have been in Operations. Part of
the time double turn was run In these de-
partments. The skilled men who went out
this morning do not belong to any union,
but are fully in sympathy with the strik-
ers. They have not been required to work
any of the steel or iron made bv the non
union men and had no reasonable oppor-
tunity TO show their attitude in the late
trouble until yesterday. After the men
came out che bosses immedia lated posted
notices throughout the mill to the effect th {
they were obliged 10 shut down on account
of no work for the men. several watch
men and employees of the Carnegie COM
pany. prin cipally clerks, who have been
observed talking to reporters and strikers
have been discharged.
