1t is said that Frank Cox, Bar
Jones, and Grant turned blue an
dwindled down to only one half thei
size when Col. Wood at the demo
cratic meeting spoke of the little on
horse republican speakers runnini
over the country and telling the pee
pie that the foreigner pay the duty
A certain republican of this neigh
borhood said the other day that
we adopted the revenue system 0
tax we would have no money to rul
the government. Where ignoranc
is bliss tits folly to be wise"

An intelligent republican said t
me day or so ago:-"If l was
soldier and was getting pension
would vote the democratic ticket
and that every wise soldier would d.
So" This was great surprise to m
and | asked him to explain.
why said he if the democrat
get into power they will lower til
tariff and that means cheaper goods
4 Say they reduce the tariff % pc
cent, then 81 cts. will buy as mucl
as one dollar will now. A soldie
who is getting pension of $l2. pc
month, will then be enabled to bu,
as much for $12. as he can now blu,
for $3.50, therefore you see he cal
get one dollar and fifty cents wortl
more goods than he can now ant
this would be equivalent to an in
crease in his pension to that amount.

his head was level.

propose to give the difference il
the principles of the republican anC
democratic parties and will shov
whom each party benefits SHOULD
their principles be adopted. Tn
principles of the democratic part,
benefit the farmers and laborin.
men, consequently when demo
cratic speaker addresses an au
dience he can state facts, while tn
republican speaker has to resort t.
falsehood and deception, when ad
dressing an audience of farmers o
workingmen, because the principles o
their party are antagonistic to work
ingmen. Let us begin with thu
tariff. The republicans say we ar
in favor of a protective tariff so as t.
protect the farmers and laborers.
dare Major Mckinley, Tom Reed 0
any other republican to point to
single instance in which pro
tective tariff has benefited labor
ing man. They will tell you that b,
a protective tariff it enables thu
manufacturers to sell their commod
tiles higher and thus enables then
to pay better wages to their work
men ] admit that, but will they
pay better wages? Is it not bust
ness principle to use economy anC
keep down expenses as low as posi-
BILE, and hence they engage labor Al
cheap as possible? If any manufac
turer would raise the wages of his
employees voluntarily it would b.
considered miracle.

1t is labor unions that keep up tn,
price of American labor, and when
ever labor unions go down ther
American labor will go down to thai
of Europe And the republican
party is to-day trying to destroy
union labor organizations. We have
only to go to Homestead to obtair
this evidence, and to the history o
Reid the republican candidate fol
vice President They tell us AGAR
that the effect of a protective tariff
is to build new manufactures anC
thus give employment to more mer
and give a home market TO thu
farmer. Let us see how this works
A protective tariff fosters trusts
There is a sugar trust now ia exis
tence. What is the result? Two Of
it's largest plants are shut down. All
the hands of the same are thrown GU
of employment and sugar has gone
up | cents per pound.
The Safe manufacturers have form
ed trust; they propose to shut dowr
6 manufactures and discharge thu
hands from the same. Here we have
the result. A protective tariff forms
trusts, shut down part of their plants
turn off the employees of the same
and then raise the price of the arti
cles they manufacture The conse
quence is surplus of labor which
means lower wages to the laborer an(
higher prices for what he consum es
*~*
You never hear of them giving
anything to the democratic fund,
therefore make the following asser
ton, and | dare Ben Harrison or any
of his speakers or writers to success
fully refute it. namely: If the man
ufacturers would refuse to give any
thing to the republican campaign
fund and would also refuse to us,
their influence in getting their hands
to vote the republican ticket, there
would not be single republican
speaker in America that would ad
rocote protective tariff, Now LEI
us see how the farmers are protected
The surplus of wheat the farmer
produces is shipped to Europe ant
there sold. England sets the price
for that produce and the home
market is governed by the price il
England. The only parties that arr
benefited by a protective tariff art
the owners of the mills and factories
and leaders of the republican party
The republican party makes pro
tectiye tariff to benefit the owners o
factories and they in return give {
portion of their profits thus gained
to keep the republican party in power
Any man with ordinary intelligence
can see that this is true and l dar,
any republican to attempt to refat'
it. Why do the owners of mills snt
factories give hundreds of thousands
of dollars to the republican campaign
fund every four years? Hence i
there is a foreign demand, prices rul
up, if there is no foreign demand
prices run down. Then If we bu,
extensively in Europe it gives then
the means to buy our surplus of grail
cattle &c, and the result is if w
lower the tariff it gives us a foreigl
market for the farmers surplus ant
besides it lowers the price upon sucl
articles as the farmer buys.
