M'KINLeY IN NEBRASKA.

The Homestead strike, Of course,
takes precedence; but there are num-
Der of others. In Philadelphia locked
out men were organizing a boycott
upon the product of their former EN-
ployers. In West Superior, Wis.,, a
similar state of affairs existed. In
Pittsburg the sheet-iron and steel
manufacturers were asking their men
to accept a reduction of 20 per cent. In
Joliet, ILL.,, the Illinois Steel company
was resuming work after the mon had
"stood a cut of 23 per cent" Iu the Bay
View mills, in the same state, the men
had gone back after making some
concessions on the guide and ten-inch
mill rates." These are only few Of the
experiences of labor in the heavily
protected" iron industry. In every
case of trouble the reduction of wages
was the cause. Yet Governor McKin,
ley receives $3.50 a speech for telling
people what a beautiful system of
taxation it is that bears his name

BURGESS MCLUoKIE, of Homestead
in spite of all the Republican crawlish-
ing and whining, is Republican, but
he has had his eyes opened since the
protection" rebellion and he now sees
which party is the real friend of the
laboring man. In his speech at
Youngstown last Saturday he said:
81 have been a Republican, but in
view of recent events and the attack
upon organized labor / may be induced
to change my views. Carnegie aud
Mckinley, the tin plate peddler of Ohio
have entered into conspiracy that
bodies no good to the workmen of this
country. Protection may protect the
manufacturer, but the workingman has
to hustle. All the millions that Andrew
Carnegie has made have come out OF
the workingmen whom his manager
(Frick) ordered shot down by the Pink
erton gang. 1t is time the wOrkingmen
were aroused to protect themselves
against such as Carnegie, Mckinley
and Frick."

THE Cleveland Leader, after claiming
for tSo years that the Mckinley bill
did not reduce wages of laboring men
makes an open confession that it has
done so. AID it now defends the re-
duction of wages of Carnegie's men,
without giving an adequate reason or
excuse. Here is the exact language of
the Leader, in an editorial, in Its issue
of August 8, 1892.
"Iron mines in the Lake Superior region
are shutting down aud throwing thous
ands of men out OF work because the con-
dition of the iron industry leaves no OPP
portunity for selling ors al a living price.
1t is such facts which place in queer light
the action of $500 men in the steel mills
at Homestead in depriying themselves OF
employment IN lhe effort to prevent a
reduction in the wages of less than one
tenth of their number.h
This is entirely different talk from
the fulsome blabber of tue last two
years in the Leader about the great and
aOounding prosperity of the great
protected industries under the robber
tariff of Mckinley. In this editorial
(Which is printed entire) the Leader
gives away the whole case. The iron
mines have shut down in the Lake
Superior region, three thousand labor
ing men have been thrown upon chari-
ty, more than ten thousand women and
children are brought to the terrible face
of starvation; and the Leader justifies
the reduction Of the wages of Carnegie's
men, because there is no market for
iron. In fact the home market theory
is fraud.
Shoot the robber tariff.
Vote for Grover Cleveland.

WANT AN EARLIER CONVENTION.

The Democratic Congressional Con-
vention is called at too late a day to
properly organize the district. When
the date was fixed it was not thought
the Democrats could carry the district
The situation has changed since then,
and it is now believed by the best in
formed politicians in the district that
Labor Crusher Morgan can be defeated
by popular Democrat, who is in sym
pathy with organized labor. The Dem
ocratic convention should be held not
later than Aug. 25th, and the Demo-
cratic committee should change the
date without delay. 1t may be TOO late
to organize successful campaign after
Sept 9th. The leading Democrats of
Canton, Alliance and Massillon all
agree that Sept. 9th is too late day
and that the County committees of
Stark, ,Mahoning and Columbiana should
confer before the end of this week and
give US an earlier convention.

COL. CooKERILL writes from New
York that James G.. Blaine is broken in
spirit, and although his health Is good
he will soc no one, and takes no interest
In the campaign. Doubtless he feels
about as Gen. Alger of Michigan does.
The General will not do any cash busi-
ness for Harrison this year. He ha
locked up his private check book and is
now doing the Pacific slope in his
private palace car. Alger would not
weep should Cleveland he elected, and
James q. Blaine would enjoy much
better health and more salubrity Of
conscience should Grover Cleveland in
corporate tariff reform with real re-
ciprocity. The more Blaine sees Of the
workings of the Mckinley tariff, the
more he is convinced that there 1t not a

AT Council Bluffs, Ohio's Governor,
who ought to be home looking after his
penitentiary appointees, seriously said,
and it is presumed wanted his auditors
to believe "that protection benefits the
farmer by giving him a nearby mar
ket." So far, so good; but what would
the farmer have done last year had it not
been for the foreign market to dispose
of his surplus? If 100000 people
make good market why would not
800 100000 make ten times betterp If
protection really seeks to exclusively
control the home market, why permit
free trade (reciprocity) with South
American countries which produce
wheat, corn, hides and wool, just what
American farmers have to selp This
shows the sham of protection; 1t does
not do what 1t alleges and 1t alleges
what it cannot do. It's fraud, q sham
a swindle, a cheat, snide, a trick, an
artihee, hocus'pocus.-7 Mansfield

THE Youngstown Vindicator of Aug.
8 prints a strong letter from a Mahon-
ing county Democrat in favor of Hon.
Anthony Howells of Massillon, for
Congress. Editorially the Vindicator
observes as follows:
"rhen there is another man outside of
this county who, always strong, is now
peculiarly strong on account of certain
peculiar conditions. We refer to Hon.
Anthony Howells, of MassilloD, but
formerly of this city. He is an extern
sive employer of labor, but never had
any trouble with labor. He is careful,
wise man of long experience in public
affairs and exceedingly popular with
the people. If it should come to pass
that Mahoning relinquishes its rights,
which is not in prospects now, what is
the matter with Anthony?'

The scandal in the Ohio penitentiary
In which 1t was discovered that the
Chaplain was committing adultery with
the wife of a convict, is one of the
worst cases of total depravity ever un-
tarthed in Ohio politics. This mans
character was known before he was ap.
pointed. On this point the GAINESVILLE
Signal makes the following editorial
comments:
"He was found out long before hie
appointment to the responsible position
of chaplain to look after the spiritual
welfare of nearly two thousand human
beings. The board of managers weie
earnestly warned against him before
his election. But they were powerless.
Governor Mckinley demanded his ap-
pointment because of political services
rendered him. When positions of this
character are bartered for political SER
vices what can you expect?."

The Governor of Ohio evidently
thinks Ohio has no use for Governor
and hence he is usually not attending to
official business. From Nebraska the
Governor of Ohio will skip very rapidly
down east. He will visit Boston within
the coming fortnight on his way to
Vermont, where he will stay while at
the farm of his cousin, Police Commis
sioner Osborn, Of Boston. Mr.. Os-
born's farm is situated about seven
miles from Brattleboro, and opportuni-
ties abound for rural pleasure. On
SsptemberS Governor Mckinley will go
to Boston and pass few days.

THE LEGITIMATE CHILD OF PRorEc.
TON

II may interest some one to know that
William and Robert Pinkerton are both
ardent Republicans. They can certainly
Justify their political allegiance on the
score that, under Republican rule, their
peculiar industry has prospered marvel
ously. We wonder that II has never oc-
Cured to the New York Press 10 publish
one of it's peculiar pictures to show that,
whereas in the days Of low tariff there
was no such thing as Pinkertons at all,
now IL is a great organization with
branches everywhere that the law allows.
Seattle Wash Telegraph.
And yet in all his speeches the great
author of the Mckinley bill has never
once mentioned the great Pinkerton
industries created by his bill. 1t not
only employs a large number of
skilled workmen at high wages, but
they are also consumers on the home
market They use a large number Of
improved fire arms and fixed ammuni-
ton that also requires the highest order
of skilled artisans to produce. Why
has not the eloquent advocate of pro-
lection and the home market mention
ed this great industry, that
| was entirely unknown and
undreamed of In this country
before the days of high tariffs, monop-
oily and plutocracy. Not only is the
pinkerton industry child of the high
tariff, but it is far reaching in its results
in promoting other industries. For
instance, at Homestead, by action OF
the Plukerton industry (Which is Pro.
tected by the men who put up the
Doodle to elect Harrison) there were
ten funerals of Protected laboring men
who were put out of their misery by
the Winchester rifles of the Pinker.
tons These Een all had to have
coflins and shrouds, (all highly Pro-
tected) and grave diggers, thus giving
additional employment for undertakers
and hearses and mourning goods, and
adding new consumers to the home
market. In fact the tin plate factories
created by the Mckinley bill (all of
which are now either prostrated or
busted) never gave employment to one
tenth the member of skilled workmen
that are now employed by the great
Pinkerton industry. And yet all the
Republican orators treat this great in
dustry with cold and brutal neglect.

LABOR crusher Morgan, claims that

from his works last week, were turned
out because they we're agitating the
labor question in the shops, and might

act just like good mule, do his work,
take the gad without a kick and
wag his ears and be silent. Morgan is
