a help to him. Mr.. Burton has shown
the utter absurdity Of the so called
arguments Of the John Davis disciples
in that district and has presented such
cogent reasons for supporting the
republican ticket, that the enemy has
been driven into corner and is trying
to defend itself by throwing stink pots
at Mr., Burton. They naturally use
the strongest weapons in their posses
sion. The fact Of these assaults upon
Mr.. Burton show conclusiyely that the
followers OF Mr.. Davis in the Fifth
district are thoroughly frightened. Mr..
Burton gives them bard facts and
unanswerable logic and that is what
ails the followers Of Mr.. Davis. They
have fourished so long on pure and
unad ulterated wind that Mr.. Burton's
doses of facts and figures are as unpal-
atable as bath OF clear water would
be for a native Of the Sandwich Islands.

How proteetion Works.

Yesterday we asked our free trade
contemporaries to name few instances
where wages had been increased in
England. For fear their memory may
not serve them right, how will THE
dispatch do:
LONDON, July 2l.-A crisis Is threat
ened In the Lancashire cotton trade.
The Federation Of Master Cotton
Spinners recommends that u 10 per
cent reduction be made In the wages
of operatives and that the mills be run
on short time. 1t is said that the
Amalgamated Association Of Operative
Cotton Spinners will refuse to accept a
reduction of wages and that strike or
lock out will follow. 1t was only a
short time ago that general lock out
was settled in the Lancashire cotton
mills.
Demonstrated falsity," said Mr..
Cleveland few days ago, referring to
the Mckinley bill.
Let us see. When the Mckinley
act was passed there were reductions
Of wages in the woollen and cotton
trades In Lancashire In order that
there might be some chance OF forcing
the goods into the American market.
That reduction has not sufliced. The
manufacturers are now compelled to
order second reduction OF 10 per cent
in operatives wages. This action will
be resisted and strike and lock out
will follow. That is the English exI err
fence under revenue tariff. What
has happened simultaneously In New
England? There has been no decrease
of wages in the cotton factories since
the passage OF the Mckinley act
Wages have been steady for two years
in the face Of reductions abroad; and
now the time has come when an
increase can be ordered. Fall River Is
one Of the chief centres Of this indus
try. The manufacturers, as we noted
In last evenings REFLECTOR, have
voluntarily put up the price OF piece
work and the weavers' wages, and
have voted to pay as much for fifty
eight hours as for sixty houis' work
This increase has followed the McKin
ley act, under which additional protec
ton was offered for the higher gradei
Of cotton manufactures; yet Mr.. Cleve
land asserts that IL is demonstrated
falsity" that anything Of the kind car
happen.
One other point. The wage Garner
gain is not the consumers loss. TIT
prices Of the cotton goods produced II
these FAN River mills are from 10 to /.
per cent lower than when the McKinle.
act was passed. Increased protection
while 1t haa raised wages and intro

the cost of living in Fall River. Their,

Address Of tho ProtectIonIst Leader 81

BEA TRIcB, Neb., Aug. 3.--Fifteen
thousand people at the Chautauqua
grounds Yesterday afternoon listened
10 an address by Gov. William Nc
Kinley, OF Ohio. Special trains brought
In throngs Of people from Kansas, Iowa
and Missouri 10 hear the great protec-
ZIONIST
Business in the city was almost sus-
pended and everybody witnessed the
immense procession which preceded the
governors speech All along the limo
OF march the buildings were decorated
for the occasion, and the parade and
dem onstration were the most elaborate
ever held in the state. Promptly at
o'clock Gov. Mckinley began his adj
dress.
He said that the latest national dem
ocratic platform was holder reoogni-
ton OF free trade than any OF It's pre-
decessors. He proceeded 10 analyze the
platform, comparing IL with the draft
of the platform as originally presented
to the national convention. The first
draft OF the platform, said the gov
ernor, stated many Of the republican
protective principles as the foundation
OF successful government, but as
adopted by the convention II, in effect,
declared that democrats of the nation
would take no care Of any domestic in
dustry; that they proposed TO abandon
the policy Of raising revenue from Gus
toms and rely solely upon direct taxa
tion for the revenue needs OF the gov
i that th.., ~ ~. I'D
full Of labor employed and capital in
vested in the great industries OF the
country, and that all of Americas vast
industries must be sacrificed without
quarter TO the demands Of tariff reform,
Mr.. Mckinley then proceeded to at
tack that portion Of the platform which
declares that protection Is unconstitu-
tionaL The constitutionality OF pro-
tective tariffs, he said, had not been at
tackled for more than hundred years.
The second act passed by congress de-
clared tariffs to be for the support of
the government and for the encourage
ment and protection of manufactures IL
the protective policy was in violation of
any constitution II was not that OF the
United States. II was in violation Of
the constitution Of the confederate
states. But" said the speaker, hap
PLY for us, we do not recognize that in
strument and are not operating under
it"
Gov. Mckinley, continuing to defend
republican policy, affirmed that protec-
ton in the last three years had raised
the wages of laborers and cheapened
the prices Of the necessaries of life TO the
consumers, refuting statements made
by ex-President Cleveland in his New
York speech OF acceptance. Imports, he
declared, also had decreased, while cx-
ports had increased. leaving an enormous
balance OF trade TO our credit. In con-
clusion the speaker said: Tried by
any test, measured by any standard,
we lead all the rest OF the world Pro-
lection has indicated itself 1t cannot
be helped by eulogy or hurt by defama-
ton. II has worked out it's own de-
monstration and presents in sight Of
the whole world its matchless tro-
phies."

An old democrat addressed the fol-

Mr.. Burton's Reputation at Hom'

Mr.. Burton's Reputation at Home.
When with shafts Of malice or in
pure demagogic meanness or in pratt
tied ignorance, 1t is repeated in your
presence that j. Il. Burton is an i'm.
moral man, cite them these facts: He
went to Abilene without money, with
out influence, fourteen years ago. Ten
years ago in 1882 he was elected to
the legislature by majority Of II. In
1884, two years later, he was renomi-
mated and reelected by 370 majority
over good man. In 1885, two years
later, Dickinson county instructed Il
delegation to support HIM for congress
rs against John A. Anderson when the
latter was in his greatest sweep Of pop
ularity; when in fact he was the idol Of
the masses, not excepting those Of
Dickinson county. Ia 1883, two years
later, he was renominated to the legis-
lature, though at the time Of the con
vcn,ion aud previous thereto he was
and been in Maine canyassing the state
for republicanism, he WAS elected by
30i votes over his highest opponent
and by good majority over all. In
1902, without asking the support of a
single individual in Dickinson county,
he was given the delegation for CON
gress.
What estimate the people of Abilene
put upon him as man and a citizen
could be guessed by the decorations,
the enthusiasm, the heartlness in his
cause which took complete possession
of that city the day of the convention.
II waa "Our Burton" from banker to

Dickinson county has given him every

opponent has increased with .""h t"'
years. His county is for him his city fol

ity. The nearer to his actual home
you get, the larger proportunate vote
does he always have.
That is the record. Dickinson county
and Abilene are surely average places
80 far as morals go. No bad man could
command their oft recurring and
increasing support. They have the
greatest confidence in him who know
him best, which is the highest possibl,
encomium to pass upon "a public man

EICHT-HOUR LAW.
The New Act of Congress Likely
TO Defeat Itself.
ITS FAR REACHING EFFECTS.
Public building May he stopped Under
the Requirements to He Enacted
Of Contractors In Their Pur-
chases OF Material.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The Tarsney
eight-hour law In Its application TO all
government contracts went into effect
yesterday and II has already raised
serious question for the law officers of
the United States According to the
construction placed upon II in the treas
ury department II will practically pre-
vent the construction Of federal build
ing in the United States until every
mine owner, quarryman, owner Of q
lumber camp, saw mill, rolling mill and
brick yard in the country adopt eight
hours as days work for its employees.
The law requires that in every contract
awarded the contractors shall be re-
quired to adopt the eight hour system
in the employment Of men and, further
than this, must use no material which
has been prepared under any other plan
OF labor. II he has the contract for cut
ting and setting the stone work his ma
terial must be secured from a quarry
employing men eight hours only each
day and be paid full days wages
for such employment His stone cut
ters are placed on the same basis.
Bricks used must be made in brick
yards where the laborers are paid for a
full days work for eight hours labor.
In structure, iron and interior finishing
the same rules apply and according TO
treasury officials IL will be necessary
for the contractor to secure bond from
each person from whom he purchases
material that IL has been prepared UNI
der the eight hour system.
1t is a question not yet fully an
swered whether or not IL will DO neces-
sary to go back as far as mines and the
lumber woods TO secure absolutely
compliance with the law, but the inn
preston prevails that IL will be.
