prospect OF securing unanimity In some plan for

The demand that the limitations OF suffrage

levied upon The issue Of State banks and the IN

upon these lines, my cordial adherence and sup

coinage of silver at such ratio to gold
as Will maintain equality in the commercial uses
OF the two coined dollars would conduce to the
prosperity OF all the great producing and con-
meTcial nations OF The world One essential
condition Is that these dollars shall
have and do retain equal acceptabity and

LABOR AND THE TARIFF.
How American Workingmen Have Been
BENEFITED by Protection.

How American Workingmen Have Been
BeDefited by Protection.
But without unduly extending this letter l can
not follow in detail the influences OF the tariff
law OF 1890. Ii transplanled several Important
industries and established them here and IL re-
yiYed OF enlarged all others. The act gives 10
our miners protection against foreign silver
bearing lead ores, The free introduction OF which
threatened the great mining industries OF the
Rocky Mountain States. and 10 the wool growers
protection for their feeces aud hOeks. which
saved them from further and disastrous decline.
The House of Representatives, at It's last Sos.
sion. passed a bill placing these ores and WOOL
upon Tie free list. The people oil the West viii
know now destructive TO their prosperity these
measures would be.
THIS tariff law gives employment TO many
thousands OF American men and women, and
VIII each year give employment 10 increasing
thousands. lis repeal would throw thousands
out OF employment and give work 10 others only
1T reduced wages. The appeals OF frec-tradsrs
10 the woI hingmau are largely addressed to his
preJudlces or 10 MS passion, ana are not lniFc-
Qgrntly ptOnOunerdly eoMmunlStlc. Inc new
democratic leadership RACES at the employer
ana seeks o communicate his rage TO the EN-
ploye. i greatly regret that all employers OF
labor are not just aud cOnsdeTate and that cap
ltsi sometimes takes too large a share OF the
profits. But do not see that these evils would
be ameliorated by latih policy, the hfst neces-
sary effect OF which Is = severe cur IN wages and

the injustice of his employer tempis the work
man 10 strike back, he should DO very sure his
blow does mol fan upon his own head or upon
the head Of his wife or his children.
Tie w0lkmen In our great industries are, as a
body, renlarA ably intelligent, and are lovers OF
home aud couBiry. They may be reused by in-
justice OF what seems 10 them 10 be such, or be
led for a moment By others into acts OF passion; I;
bar they will settle the tariff contest In the calm
light OF their November fiTesides, and with sole
reference 10 tile prosperity OF The country OF
which they are eitIZens and OF the homes they
have founoed fer their wives and children.
No intelligent advocate Of protective tariff
claims tnat il is able OF Itself 10 maintain n uni
form rate OF wages Without regard 10 the fiuctu-
aliens IN The supply Of, and the demand foT, the
products OF labor; but IL is confidently claimed
that protective duties strongly tend TO hold up
wages, and are the only barrier against the re-

Calling the Attention OF Farmers to the
Wisdom of Republican RuIe.
The conslderate attention OF the farmers OF the
whole country Is invited TO the Work done
through the Sale and Agricultural departments
In the interest OF agriculture. Our pork products
was for ten years not only excluded by the great
continental nations OF Europe, but its value was
disoredlted by the reasons given for this exclu-
sion. All previous efforts 10 secure the re-
m0yal Of these restrictions failed. but the wise
legislation of the FIfty-fTst Congress, providing
Tor the inspection and official certihcation OF
meats, and giving TO tie President power 10
forbid the introduction into this county OF
selected products OF such countries as should
contlnn' 10 refuse our inspected meats, enabled
US 10 open all the markets OF Europe TO our
products. : lie result has been not only 10
sustain prices by providing new markets for our
surplus. but to add 90 cents per hundred pounds
10 ihe market vane OF inspected meats.
Under reciprocity agre- meuts special favors
were secured for our agricultural produc 5. and
our exports OF such products have been greatly
Increased with sure prospect OF tnrther and
rapid Increase. The Agricultural Department
has maintained In Europe an agent whose special
duty II Is 10 Introduce these various preparations
OF corn as articles OF foou, and the work has been
YeIy successful. The department has also sent
skilled veterinarians 10 Liverpool to examine,
In connection with the British veterinarians,
the i've cattle from the United States landed at

that we hear no mora about our cattle peing ln-
feeted with pleurO-pneumOnia. A judieious sys-
TEN OF quarantine lines has prevented the In
fectlon OF northern cattle with Texas fever.
he tariff bill OF 1890 gives better pro-
lection To farm products subject TO foreign
competition Than they ever had before, aud tile
home maTkets for such products have been en-
larged by tile establishment OF new industries
aud the DEVELOPMENT of others.
We may confidently submit TO the Intelligent
and candid judgment of Tie American farmer
whether, IN any corresponding period, as much
has been done TO promote his interests and
whether
these methods there ~ not better prospect
offered TO him than In the invitation OF the Demo-
cratic party 10 give our home market TO foreign
manufacturers aud TO abandon the reciprocity
policy, and better also than Is the radical and un-
tried methods OF relief proposed by other parties
which are soliciting bis support.
