reductions in the proposed schedules
there in comparison with the enormous
cut in wages which will have to be
made il the steel works are to be con-
Quoted hereafter on the basis OF reve-
nue. tariff. Let it be granted for argu-
ment's sake that the managers are not
justified in their claim that the work
men can earn more money under the
new schedule than they coald few
years ago before the plant was I'M
proved and their own productive capac-
ity largely increased. Let it be as
sumed that there would oe slight re-
ductiOn of wages for certain classes of
workmen in the mills under the new
schedules. How would it be possible
TO operate those works at all under
revenue tariff without scaling down the
wages of all classes of worlmen to the
level of English, Belgian and German
operatives? What the democratic party
will bring about, il it controls the next
congress in both branches and has Mr..
Cleveland in Office TO sign a revenue
tariff bill, is a general reduction OF
wages throughout the country. This
will be the logical and necessary effect
of its tariff policy. There is not a
democratic orator who will dare 10 as
sert on the stump this year that wages
will be higher when foreign labor Is
brought into direct competition with
American labor. Mr.. Cleveland is the
candidate of the low-wage party, which
proclaimed at Chicago its Indifference
10 the interests of labor. Therefore, it
i'll becomes the leaders ard press of that
party to condemn the Homestead man
ayers for attempting a slight readjust-
ment of wages or 10 sheer at the Nc
kinley act as low-wage tariff.
Then. too, there is the vital question
of EMPLOYMENT At Homestead there
are now five thousand men out of work.
If compromise be effected through
arbitration or otherwise, they will be
again employed; or at the worst there
are iron mills at other industrial CEN
tiers where they can eventually find
work But under a revenue tariff mills
and factories will be closed, and there
will be no work to be had, even at
heavily reduced wages While many
employers might be willing 70 continue
manufacturing operations under free
trade conditions with a heavy cut in
wages, many more would not make the
effort but would abandon the field to
foreign competitors Not only would
there be lower wages, but there would
be vastly less work under a revenue
tariff. This will be another Of the log
icaI results OF democratic tariff policy;
and the Chicago convention, by repudi-
ating the majority resolutions, has de-
clared in advance that it is Indifferent
to the abandonment of American indus
tries and to the withdrawal of sources
of employment for working people

vania and in several Philadelphia car
pet factories to that measure. During
the corresponding six months of Cleve-

The senate was republican, but by the
narrow margin of six votes, and con-
siderable number of the republican
senators were inclined towards tariff
reduction. 1t was during the incuba-
ton of the Morrison tariff bill, which
came to grief in 1856, that Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration made its phe-

8Every New York democrat who
that state will try to make good his pre-
diction or admit that he lied when he
became a prophet--Cleveland Leader
aThe democratic tariff plank is
wonderfully like the deliverances on
the same subject by the old labor
owing free traders in the days when
they held black workingmen in bond
age. The doctrine is precisely the
same.-Chicago Inter Ocean
NThe democratic politicians would
like TO have the bloody scenes at Home
stead repeated in every state of the
union for the purpose of making hit
tie capital for their party; but the re-
publican party does not want votes that
must be gained by such means-St-
Louis Globe-Democrat-
TThe republicans of the country are
not finding so much fault with the pres
ent democratic house for appropria-
tiops in excess of those of the first ses-
sion of the Fifty-frst congress, but that
the appropriations have been unequal

neglected to provide for some much
needed expenditures and improvements

INDIFFERENCE TO LABOR.
Record of the Chicago Convention In Re-
gard to Wageworkers.


Democratic attempts to make capital
out of the Homestead troubles, whether
in congress or in the press, are miscal-
culated and futile. The Chicago con-
vention made a record on the question
of the interests of workingmen as af-
fected by tariff legislation, and it cam
not be repudiated. The resolutions re-
ported to the convention recognized the
expediency of protecting American in
dustries to the extent of maintaining
the difference of level in wages paid
here and in Europe. Those resolutions
were voted down by an overwhelming
majority, and radical proposition con-
demning protection as robbery and IN
constitutional, and advocating a tariff
for revenue only, was adopted. BY
that uncompromising action the demo-
cratic party placed itself on record as
in favor of tariff revision without ref
erence TO its effect on wages. II stands
committed to the policy of striking out
all the protective features of the tariff
without regard for the interests of
wage-earners. II demands a tariff for
revenue only. If wages 60 down TO
the European level under such 4 tariff,
the workingmen are to adjust them
selves to the new condition as best
they may. Democracy, when judged
BY its own utterances and action. Is in
different to their losses.
