Almost daily something turns up to
vindicate the now famous report OF
Labor Commissioners Peck on the effect
OF the taaifF on wages in New York.
The latest corroboration is the United
States census bulletin containing the
preliminary report of Special Agent F.
R. Williams in charge Of the statistics
of manufactures. The bulletin, briefly
summarized, shows that the number of
hands employed in New York city's in
dustries has increased from 227,352 to
s5l, 1857, or 1880 per cent, and the
amount Of wages from S97,0SO,021 to
S22s,5S7, 295, or 1879 per cent. A cal
culation from these figures shows that
the annual average wages paid have in
creased from 1927 in 1880 to 1858 in
1890, or 52.9S per cent.
Our Democratic friends will scarcely
doubt the authenticity OF these figures,
or charge that they were prepared for
political effect. The New York Adrer-
tissr, which paper quotes the figures and
commentsat length on them, makes the
point that the significance of the in
crcase shown is not impaired, but
rather gains whom it is explained that
more mon were employed in 1880 and
less children; that the percentage Of in
crease in the number Of women EN-
ployed has been less in many industries
than in the number Of adult males, and
also that in ten years very many
branches of industry have improved
the grades of their products, and for
this reason require more skilled and
higher paid employees. For every one
Of these things is proof Of a higher
standard Of intelligence and civilian

airy and an outrage on the people OF the

lien say that it is unpatriotic and un-
Americana The force bill" issue is a
side issue raised to create sectional
prejudice and to hold the solid south in

ration it is based on:
We demand that every citizen Of the United

restricted ballot In all public elections, and that
such ballot shall be counted and returned as
cast; that such laws shall be enacted and en-
forced as will secure TO every citizen, be he rich
or poor, native or foreign born, white or black,
this sovereign right guaranteed blythe eonstitu-
ton.
The free and honest popular ballot, the Just
and equal representation OF all the people, as
we'll as thelr Just and equal protection under the
laws. are the foundation OF our republican in
institutions, aud the party will never relcnt Its
efforts until the integrity Of the ballot and the
purity OF elections shall be fully guaranteed and
protected In every state.

It Means Frco Trade.

From Grover Cleveland down Demo
cratic leaders are trying to make the
voters Of the country believe that the
tariff plank in the Democratic platform
is not a declaration for free trade, but,
try as they may, they cannot make it
mean anything else. They cannot con-
strue the plain English of its terms to
mean anything but that the Demo
cratic party is pledged unequivocally to
FREQ trade.
When the committee on resolutions
in the Chicago convention reported a
plank declaring that all changes in the
tariff laws should be regardtul of Amer
lean labor and capital, and that there
was no desire to injure American indus
tries, it was overwhelmingly voted down
and in its stead was adopted a plank de-
claring that a tariff for protection, or
for any other purpose than revenue, is
unconstitutional.
Tho attempt to head Off the effect OF
this free trade declaration by saying
free trade is impossible, that it does
not mean what it says, will not do. A
tariff for revenue only is free trade pure
and simple, despite Mr.. Cleveland's eff
fort to make his followers believe it
isn't.
Professor W. G. Sumner is free trade
authority. He is a member OF the
faculty of Yale College and from him
Democrats borrow many of their theo-
|ries. Here is his definition of FREQ trade:
The term free trade" although much dis:
cussed. Is seldom rightly defined. 1t does not
mean tho abolition Of custom houses. nor does
It mean the substitution of direct for indirect
taxation. as a few American disciples OF the
school have supposed II means such nu adjust
ment OF taxes on imports as will cause no diver
sion OF capital from any channel into which y
would otherwise flow Into any other channel
| opened or favored by the legislation which en-
acts the customs. A country may collect us Gu
tire revenue by duties on imports and yet be an
entirely free trade country 80 long as II does not
lay It's duties In such a way us to lead any one 10

ment he would avoid in the absence Of such

land, with very few exceptions, are not incon.
sIstent with her professions Of being q country
which believes in free trade.
The New York Press, commenting on
this definition, calls on American work
ingmen to note this: When the Demo-
cratic demagogue m around with
his fallacious plea that free trade is i'm
possible SO long as large revenues must
be raised by means Of a tariff on i'm
ports, just call his att ention to this ex-
tract from the most orthodox, capable
and Incorporating free trader in the
country. No matter how high a purely
revenue tariff may be or how much
revenue may be raised from it, it is still
a free trade tariff and nothing else.
Don't let anybody get away from that
fundamental fact.
