Democratic leader RACES at the EN-
ployer aud seeks 10 communicate his
rage to the employee. | greatly regret
TINT all employers Of labor are not Just
aud confederate, aud that capital
sometimes takes too large n share OF
thc profits. But 7 do net see that theec
evils would bc amelioratod by n tariff
policy, tho first necessary effect Of
which II n severe wage cut, and eocond,
n large dimlnution Of tho aggregate
amount Of work to bn done In this
country.
OUR woRKMEN.
II tho Injustice Of his employer
tcmpts workman TO turn back, he
should be very sure his blow does not
fall upon his own head or upon HE
wife and children. Workmen In our
great industries are, ns body, remark.
ably Intelligent, and are lovers OF
homo and country. They may bo
reused by injustice or what seems 10
them to DO such, or bo led for mo-
ment by others, Into acts OF passion,
but they will settle the tariff contest In
"A calm light next November, and with
sole reference TO theproeperity Of the
country NJ which they are citizens, ami
N the homcs they have founded for
their wives and children.
No intelligent advocate Of the pro.
tuctive thrift claims IL IL able VI itself
10 maintain Runlform rate OF wages
without regard to fluctuations In supply
Of nnd demand for products OF LABOR.
But 1t IA confidently claimed that pro.
teciivo duties strongly tend to hold up
wages, and are tho Ouiy barber against
n reduction to tho European scale.
The South American states have
had liberal participation In the beuuiiis
Of the tariff law, and though their TO.
presentatives have generally opposed
the protection policy, | rejoice that
their sugar, rice, coal, ores, iron, cotton
cloths and other products have not
been left TO the fate which the votes
OF their representatives would have
brought upon them. In tho construc.
ton OF the Nicaragua canal; la the
new trndc with South and Central
America; In the establishment Of
American steamship lines - these
States also have special interests, and
all these interests Will not always con-
sent TO be without representation at
Washington.
Our advnrsaries speak only Of in.
creased duties imposed upon tin, penrl
buttons and other articles by the Me-
kinley bill, ami omit altogether any
reference TO the great anu beneficial
enlargement OF the free list. During
the last fiscal year sl5S, O00,772 worth
Ol merchandise, or 55.36 per cent. OF our
total importation came In free llRrgeBi
percentage In our history J, while In 1885
this per cent. OF free importations wat
only 3i.i3 per cent. The placing oil
sugar upon the fee list has saved u
the consumers IN duties In flitcot
months after paying bountiea provided
for, ISL, 600, 900. This relief has beer
substantially felt in every household
upon every Saturdays purchase Of tn
wurkiDgman.
,, ONE OF THE FAvURITE ARGUMENTS

would destroy the comfort and indie
pendence OF our people.
TIM SILVER QUESTION.
| The resolution OF the convention In
favor OF bl-metRlllsm has my
, cordial adherence and support.
. am thoroughly convinced that the fire.,
coinage OF silver at such tate as Will
maintain equality In the commercial
. uses OF the two colnedsfd dollars would
> conduce to tho prosperity OF all grea
nations OF the world. One essential
3 condition 10 that these dollars shall
I have an equal value In al
commercial transactions, not only
as medium OF exchang,
but as measure OF values
and when unequal measures are called
, In law by the same name, commercs
i IN unsettled and confused, and the un.
wary and ignorant are cheated. Dol
Z lars OF unequal commercial value will

ing people, who cannot closely OBJ
serve the money market, Is that every

4 times and In all Its uses be- an exaci

, but In purchasing power Of any othei
4 dollar am quite sure II we
should now act upon this subject
/ independently OF other nations W,

l. much 10 develop sentiment In favoi

4 much pleased and encouraged by the
9 oordiaiity, promptness and unanimity
with which the invitation by thil
, government for an international con

q hope for, but expect highly beneficial
results from this conference, which
