ONE OF THE HlRBD HgssIAEs.

We published short time ago an
expose of the republican scheme by
which it is hoped to stampede the
voters Of the Peoples party on the
eve of election by the publication Of
letters from prominent (?) Peoples
party men who are to announce their
return to the old party. The republi-
Can speaker who gave the scheme
away, thinking he was talking to q
good republican, it will he remem-
bered stated that the matter was ar
ranged some time ago by having
republicans join our party for this
very purpose, so that they could for-
sake it at the right time and furnish
just the kind of q letter needed. Here
is one Of the hired Hessians who is
caught in the act.
CoNooRDIA, KAs, October "a, 1892.
40 Gn0 EulDOf OF IRE ADVOCATE:
You probably noticed q letter said to be
written by so. called Major Brooks, Of Con-
cordis, in the Topeka Capital in behalf Of
the republican party and old soldiers advis-
ing them to leave the Peoples party be-
cause it is southern democratic scheme.
He claimed that he had been aPeople'SmRn
for two years. This 10 untrue. He worked
and voted for the republican ticket last fall,
and called the Peoples party voters hood
lums and calamity howlers.
He joined the citizens alliance last March
and withdrew few weeks ago when his
mortgage holder threatened him. This
man, however, is not responsible for his
acts. He is more than half insane. Last
week he was juror, and when evidence and
pleadings in the case in which he was ait
ting were completed, he took his hat to 60
home. The sheriff took him by the coat
and ssid "Here, mister, you must 90 into
the jury room and decide this case" Brooks
said, "0h, didn't know that" Such acts
convince the general public here that he is
either imbecile or insane.
But never mind, Mr.. Editor, Cloud county
will give at least 600 majority for the PeO- !
ple's party in November. Yours truly,
VIM. KRUSrM.
This is one of the kind ofmen who
are engaged to write these letters. The
letters are probably furnished these
fellows ready written by the republi-
can central committee. Their SINH
larity of style, and everything about
them, indicate this. And it is ex-
pected to fool intelligent voters with
such thin disguise sthis. What
an exalted opinion the republican
managers have of che intelligence Of

more, when they must leave the shop, and
new twelve or thirteen year-old victims are
taken from the nursery. Once out Of the
shop, the boy is totally unfit for any other
employment, and he becomes in most Oasee
an outcast, loafer, deadbeat or tramp.
The third objection is the one that causes
the greatest opposition from workingmen,
The 1000 boys in the workshops of Ohio
displace nearly that many men, and this un.
natural competition helps to demoralize and
degrade the trade. Several attempts have
been made in the past to raise the age when
children may enter the workshops to four.
teen years, but the manufacturers employ.
ing them have appeared in the lobby with
sufficient force to prevent such legislation
No one can visit the shops where children
are employed and see the poor, pale, sickly,
dwarfed and deformed victims Of the states
lethargy, and not be convinced that four
teen years is even too young for children in
the workshops.
Mr.. Scott quoted quite extensively
from this report in his article last
week upon the subject of woman
wage-workers, and the direct evils
growing out of their indiscriminate
employment. The motive of the man.
ufacturer in employing them is found
IN the fact that they work for less
wages than men, and for this reason
alone they have displaced rnale labor
in very many employments that are
entirely untitled for their strength
and powers of endurance. The tables
given show that there are 40,959
women employed in the workshops OF
Ohio at an average of Is cents per
day, and a very large per cent. OF
these have displaced men who would
be paid for the same work from $2 to
$3.50 per day. The evil would be
modified to some extent if women
were paid the same wages as men fo1
the same work, but we're the manufac-
turer required to do this, the men, in
stead Of the women, would be
employed.
Speaking of the number of women
employed in the workshops, and the
wages they receive, the commissioner
says:
While the figure is larger than was even
before ascertained, / am satisfied that the
number employed is larger than that given
am also equally as well satisfied that the
average wages received is less than the
amount here given, for the reason that
every agency seemed at work to conceal the
compensation Of those receiving smallest
wages, while there. was little trouble to
secure this information from the better
paid women in the workshops.
Taking into consideration the dis
placement OF male labor by the en-
ployment of women and children, and
the displacement of native labor Of
both sexes and all ages by the con-
slant influx of the most impoverished
elements from foreign countries, Is il
any wonder that there should be in
this country, as ex-senator ingalls,
says, 100000 American citizens,
able and willing to toll, homeless
trsmps, starving for bread?" Is it
any wonder that he should say q
social system that tolerates such con.
| dltions "reouires adjustment?
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-11-02
LABoR STATISTICS OF OHIO.

bureau of statistics of labor of the
state of Ohio that cannot be kept too
prominently before the public. In
a communication last week, S. Nj.
Scott quoted quite extensively from
this report, but the Importance of the
subject leads us to again call atten-
ton to some features of it, and to en-
phasize the indications of the
tendency of the times.
Under the head of Labor's Com
petitors," the commissioner groups
"long hours, women wage-workers,
and child labor, invention, foreign
imports and foreign labor" as the
agencies that are undermining the
workingman IN his wages and en-
ployment."
Aside from the influence of the for
eign element, against the Importation
Of which there is no protective tariff,
perhaps the most important of the
agencies named is invention. Every
manufacturing establishment, of
whatever character, is supplied with
machinery which has multiplied the
possibilities of production, and which
obviates the necessity in a great
measure of skilled labor. AS these
inventions are the creation of labor,
under proper system labor should
receive the benefit of them. Under
the eriSting system, the effect is di-
rectly the opposite. Instead ofshort-
ening the hours of labor and thereby
giving employment to all, propUr-
tionately less number are required by
adherence to the ten-hour day to
perform the requisite amount Of
work. By this means many are
doomed to idleness. Then, again,
machinery has been brought to such
perfection that a child is enabled to
perform the work of a man, and the
result is that the child displaces the
man, and receives a mere pittance
for the labor performed. The COM
missioner clearly points out the evils
of this system as follows:
Two or three children employed in rum
ming machines will accomplish as much as a
man, and perhaps more, yet receive there
for not to exceed one-fourth or one-third
the wages paid TO male adult. OF course
this keeps large number Of men from OBJ
tanning employment, and throws the family,
in great measure, upon the meagre earn
ings of the children for support. This forces
the father into the army Of idlers, to be-
come, in too many cases, the victim Of
habits that are 80 certain to result from
such life. Bad as this is, it is not the
greatest evil Of child labor. 1t keeps the
children from school, and anything that
checks the intellectual development Of the
child is serious and almost irrepsrable
blow at the cause of labor and the ultimate
equality of man, an event that will abolish
destitution and want, and cause this much
abused earth to blossom as the rose. . . =
Aside from the cruelty associated with
such employment there are three oonspicu-
GUS objsotions, any one Of which should be
sufficient to secure legislation against it.
The first has already been considered
educational feature. The second objection
Is that it deprives the boy of an ability TO
earn livelihood after he has outgrown the

permitted to employ women"
But taere is another point in this
report that is still more important to
the people of this country than any
yet presented. il is the fact that the
Legislature of Ohio legislated this
commissioner out Of his Office, and
Gov. Foraker approved the legisla-
tion. The facts being brought to
light by this official were Of charac-
ter that the plutocrsts did not desire
the people to know. Had he confined
his Investigations to the benefcent
effects Of a protective tariff in increas-
ing wages and improving the condi-
ton of workingmen, he might have
gone on unmolested; but instead of
this he made an honest investigation
of the actual conditions of the labor
ing classes, the actual wages they re-
ceived, and the evils of the competi-
tive system, and honestly reported
the facts. This would never do, and
it became necessary to decapitste him
in order to put stop to it. This was
done in so summary a manner as not
to give him time to complete his last
report. Here is what the commits
sioner himself says about it:
I had expected to remain in office until
February Is, 1891, the date when my COM
mission expires. On February "a, 1889, a
bill was introduced in the house Of repre-
sentatives by Mr.. Gsurner, of Richland
county, changing the name of this depart
ment from the bureau of the statistics OF
labor to the bureau of labor statistics. This
bill passed the house March 13, and the SEN
ate March q. The slight change in the law
had the effect of legislsting the office Of
commissioner Of the statistics Of labor out
of existence, as we'll as my official Oonnec.
tion with it. Upon the signing of said bill
my term of Office expires. Some Of the ia
bles deduced from the investigation of
women wage-workers could not be COM
pleted in the three days allowed me. Sew
eral strike and lookout tables are omitted
for the same reason, and number Of the
counties must be left out of the industrial
census tables. / offer this explanation Of
some of the shortcomings that appear in
this report.
1t is safe to say that Mr.. Foraker
did not make use of any of the in
formation furnished by his commls-
sioner Of the bureau of the statistics
of labor in the speeches he delivered
in Kansas. This information is not
of a character to show the great
benefits of the republican tariff sys-
tenn to American labor. It is not the
kind of information that our Ameri-
can aristocrscy, so well described by
the Duke of Marlborough in the Lon
don Neto Revieac, desires to, have dis
seminated among the common herd
of the American people. Commits
sioner Fassett's experince should
teach the labor commissioners of
other states not to extend their inves-
LEGATIONS to subjects concerning which
it is necessary that the masses of the
people should remain in ignorance.
