ABSOLUTELY PURE
untrv. outside of New York CITY, it

country, outside of New York City, it
is common practice.
Meat of all kinds costs more to the
retail buyer in England than is paid in
1.-The Middle and Middle West" of the
United States. Flour costs the English
man from 60 to 20 cents more barrel
than the American must pay. Clothing
is cheaper in England, but not so much
cheaper as to be deserving of attention in
view of the difference Of wages. The
destiny of every second workingman in
England is to drop into pauperism. "At
the present time, of the working classes,
one in two, if he reaches the age of so
is almost certain to come upon the poor
law for his subsistence" This is the
testimony of Hon. Joseph Chamberlain.
1t is the inevitable consequence of un-
derpaying labor. The last quarterly
report of the Registrar General shows
that the average number of paupers in
England on the last day of each week
of the quarter was Cos, ,299. This ex-
cludes vagrants and lunatics. 1t shows
that nearly % persons in 1000 are in
helpless dependence upon public bounty.
There are about one and half million
paupers in the United Kingdom at this
time.
1t is with the people living under such
conditions as these that the Democratic
free traders desire Americans to COM
pete. 1t is to bring about such COM
petition, with resultant decrease of
American wages to the European level,
that the tariff is now being assailed
The soup houses already being estab-
lished in manufacturing communities
in this country, for the benefit of work
men whom tariff agitation has forced
into idleness, are the sign and token of
the pauperism which free traders are
trying to introduce to the United States.
Soup houses and poor houses are the
natural accomplishments of system
which would rob industry of shelter
from unfair competition.

THE time to vote on election day is
just as early in the morning as one can
get to the polls. 1t is not safe to put off
voting until late in the day since some
thing may happen to detain one until it
is too late to vote. 1t is not only the
privilege but the duty of every citizen
to vote and he should esteem 1t SO much
of a privilege and duty as to under no
circumstances allow himself to be de-
prived of the privilege or neglect the
duty

AFTER the Democratic newspapers
and orators have heaped every appro-
brious epithet they can invent on the
old veterans and, more than that, have
taken the pensions away from many
without a hearing, they are now at
tempting to placate the defenders of the
Union by publishing lists Of soldiers
whose pensions have been restored.
Great reason for voting with Democracy.
Though we arbitrarily" say they, "and
without sanction Of law suspended the
pensions of worthy soldiers, behold we
have given some of these pensions back
and have thus proven our love for the
soldiers This is in fact only adding
insult to injury. The Democracy as a
party hates everything about a soldier,
and Hoke Smith has demonstrated the
truth of this assertion.

THE Democrats entered upon this
campaign with professions of desire
and intention to conduct it on lofty
plane. They desired that the battle should
be fought on National issues, and to this
the Republicans heartily agreed. They
wanted no mud singing, and this prop
osition being true Republican principle
was of course accepted. They pretended
to have given up their time methods
of conducting campaign and wished 1t
run in decent and honorable manner.
The Republicans gave them the credit
of being sincere in their overtures and
promises But promises with Democracy
are as evanescent as the dew. With
Neal and Taylor and the greater number
of Democratic organs the campaign on
the part of the Democracy has been
dragged into cess pool Of malicious
fabrication, such as has never before
been witnessed, Nothing in the way of
Misrepresentation seems too base for
them to resort to. Stories, which have
been repeatedly proven in every partic-
ular false, are chewed over again and
again by these men, when at the same
time they know they are lying, and the
people know that they are lying, and
they know that the people know they
are lying. The Democracy have wholly
abandoned principles and issues in their
desperate hunt for votes, and are now
depending wholly on the nastiness OF
their utterauces about Republicans to
hold their party in line.
But on the part of Republicans there
has been no departure from the first plan
of the campaign. The Republicans can
win and will win on principle without
STOPPING to dirtiness. What contrast
is presented when Neal is compared with
Governor Campbell in the campaign of
two year ago. All through that cam
paign Campbell acted the gentleman,
even though his speeches were sophist-
ries. But then this ia but a last and
desperate resort to save the ship OF
Democracy which is now on the shoals.

FooD adulterators throughout the
State are making strenuous efforts to
defeat Frederick B. McNeal, Republican
candidate for Dairy and Food Commis-

against the adulteration Of food. There
is strongly organized opposition to him
among the wholesale grocers and manu-
facturers, and since his work is in the
interest of pure food and against adult
erations it behooves all consumers, with
out regard to party, to vote for him.

AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN WAGES.
New York Press
Beyond successful dispute, the chief
beneficiary of the protective tariff is the
man who works for wages. Upon the
whole the protective duties represent
the difference between wages here and
wages in European countries. Just
what that that difference is in certain
cases is clearly shown by two authorities
to whom we shall now refer. Mr.. Henry
Latzko, of Bruenn, Moravia, is an
Austrian Commissioner to the Chicago
Fair. Mr. Latzko is a manufacturer Of
woolens, and the other day he presented
to the Ways and Means Committee at
Washington figures representing wages
paid in the wooden mills of Continental
Europe and of the United States. Com
parison shows that the earnings of the
American workmen are twice, and In
some cases more than twice, those paid
to Europeans. These figures were pre-
prepared by practical man, who ad-
mitted the large advantage thus given
to European manufacturers, while ask
ing that the duties upon woolens shall
be decreased.
Mr.. Heury Tuckley, an American, has
Just embodied, in little book, entitled
"Masses and Classes" the results of a
prolonged and careful inquiry into the
matter of wages paid in England. Some
of the facts presented by him possess
uncommon interest for American work
men. The difference in American and
English wages is much greater in those
trades, like. the building trade, in which
protection is afforded by nature and is
therefore absolute. Thus carpenter
works in London for 81 hours week
and earns $922a, while in New York a
carpenter working but. .48 hours aweek
earns $21, or two and one third times as
much. This industry is often referred
by advocates of free trade as an unpro-
tected industry, but there would seem
to be no doubt that the high wages
earned in it in this country are at
tributable in the fact that no forei gn
competition is possible.
In the iron and steel industry compar-
ison of wages paid in Sheffield with those
paid in the Carnegie mills at Homestead,
Pa, shows that the American earns u.s.
ually little less than twice as much
as the Englishmen, the proportion
changing, as the lower kinds of labor
are reached. Thus the most inferior
laborer in Sheffield gets 81 day for
work for which the American is paid
$245. The best paid labor in British
Islands does not often gain so much as
| $40 week. An overwhelming majority
of workmen In all trades earn much less
than this amount. 1t is the rare excep-
tion in England for workman to own
the ZONE in which he lives. In this
