A HALF MILLION WoRKINeMEN.

They Speak for Protection Through
Their Representatives..
The following is a letter addressed on
April 26, 1858, to the Hon. William
Mckinley by the officers of eight of
the leading trades organizations protest
ing against the passage of the Demo
cratic Mills bill:
WASHINGTON, April %. 1888.
Hon. William Mckinley:
DEAR SR-Having seen by the papers that
Mr.. Mills and others, in their speeches in the
house Of Representatives upon the tariff bill,
have asserted the wages paid to labor were no
higher in the United States than in Europe,
we, the undersigned. desire to state, through
you, to the members Of congress that such
statements are misleading and false. Wages
are higher in this country than in any other in
the world. Notwithstanding the fact that tho
statements have been made by members on the
floor Of the house Of representatives that the
tariff only benefits the manufacturer, and
that they receive all the advantages from the
protection given by the government. we know
that We receive our share Of the benefits of
protection in tAe industries we represent.
We therefore emphatically protest against
any reduction Of the duties that will bring us
on a level with the low price paid for labor in
Europe. We insist upon the maintenance of a
strong protective tariff in order to maintain an
American standard of wages for American
werkingmen. Respectfully yours,
William Weihe, President Of Amalgamated
Association Of Iron and Steel Workers.
William Martin, Secretary of Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers.

England is the greatest free trade
country in the world. The women in
the picture are English, and the iliustra-
ton indicates the condition of women In
free trade country. The United States
is the example Of a protected country.
Women do not wheel coal in the United
States. The Democratic party. if Grover
Cleveland should be elected, viii seek TO
bring about free trade; they admit ii.
The issue in this campaign is the Ameri-
can home-the happiness Of American
women and children.
Then why not vote for home protec-
ton.

"Whosoever provideth not for his own
household is worse than an infidel."
These women belong to households
which are not provided for" They
live in free trade England The men
In their families are not lawless nor in
different to their comfort. They cannot
with all their efforts earn enough money
to provide for the mere sustenance of
those whom they love and would cherish.
But they are not to be blamed, for the
free trade laws by which they are gov
erned bring these results.
The American man of family has a
grsver responsibility. He makes his
swn laws.
The election of Grover Cleveland
would imperil the home of the American
workingman and those whom he has
vowed to care for in sickness or in death.
Every man who regards the happinl SIS
of women should realize that Grover
Cleveland stands for unprotected homes,
and that Benjamin Harrison represents
the party which has pledged itself to
keep away free trade evils.

them all glad enough to see me wherever
we went, but they could not be shaken
from their determination to vote for
Harrison. They said, I'VE are glad to
see you, general, but yeu mustn't ask Us
to vote for Cleveland" Reasoning with
them as Democrats would not change
them. They said that the tariff argu-
ments offered them didn't amount to
anything: that the Democrats told them
that under the Mills bill they would
save twenty-five dollars year in cheap
clothing, ETC., while the Republicans
told them that they would get higher
wages under a protective tariff and save
twenty-five dollars.
They were sure Of that twenty-five
dollars, no matter what the result, but
what the old soldier wanted was his
pension besides, and that amounted to
about $144 year. They argued that q
comrade like General Harrison, who
was in sympathy with them, would dc
what he could to give them their pen
sions, while President Cleveland, they
said, had record of vetoing more pen
sions than all his predecessors combined.
They expected nothing from him. The
Democratic old soldiers could not DO

as well come home.-Interview in New
