BUXTON. n. D., April S.-My Dear
Readers: We do not claimrO know alb
about tariff reform, tariff for revenue
and tariff for protection, but we have an
idea or two on our foreign and domestic
relations. While William Mckinley is
| talking about the mistake of the people
in kicking the Republicans out of
| power, let us examine few facts and
conditions and see if it is true. William
knows it all. and the people did not
| know what they We're doing, and should
change back We know he feels sore.
| He has right to. He and his party
got a terrible blow. He may argue till
| the end of time. When he gets through,
facts and natural conditions remain I'm.
| changed.
| If the cause Of the present dull times
| is not because the Democrats contem-
| plate change in Mr.. McKipley's tariff
for protection. then his preaching is in
vain and the faith of the Republican
party is also in vain. In others words,
| if tariff to protect the manufacturer
does not also protect the labor employed
to carry on the protected factory, then
M'KINLEY'S DOCTRINE is FALSE
and his preaching and the hope of the
Republican party must fall.
| The only reason given as right to
maintain tariff for protection is that ii
| protects the American laboring
man from having his wages
reduced to the scale of the pauper
laborer of Europe. That by giving the
home manufacturer monopoly of the
home market it makes philanthropist
of him, and by reason of this favor
shown him by The government. he turns
around and pays labor good price
rewards it high above foreign labor.
| This is the Mckinley doctrine. And
| great stress is laid about not letting
American labor get down on level
with foreign labor. He speaks of this
| as though it would disgrace his party.
|
Mckinley appears to be. l shonld be
afraid they would rise up and order me
out of the country.
| When he presented his views to a large
audience in Minneapolis on tariff to
protect the manufacturers, for the ben
eft of the laboring man some of whom
had to pay $40 to hear him-eXplain the
cause of hard times, ne was welcomed
to the state of Minnesota
BY A SCANDINAVIAN
Republican governor. Gov. Nelson is a
good man, and an able one. But wheth.
er he was elected on account OF his SUI
periOr ability as man and Repub-
lican, or, as a recognition of his nation
| alIty, to hold them in the Republican
line as some good Republicans claim
l cannot say, for am not member of
the party, and don't know. But there
is one thing certain, there are great
many ScandinaviaIs in Minnesota, and
they have worked hard and voted well,
and tits onlygood politics to let one have
an office occasionally. A man from Maine
could not hold large Scandinavian
element in line half as we'll rs one OF
! their own nationality. In the first place,
he cannot talk to them and explain
! Repubiicanism in Scandinavian. They
hava helped settle and create the wealth
of this Northwestern country, and are
entitled to representation. We don't
claim, as some do, that giving foreign.
, er an office is an indirect bribe to gain
his support and win over his followers
that the only difference is you put up
honor and win him with office in one
case; the other
YOU PAY COLD CASH.
1t is true there are a great many full
blooded, native born American pollti.
clans. who have labored industriously
in Republican caucuses and conventions
for years, and would appreciate getting
little start and foothold in HON
Office, but have never been able to dc
so, because there is no protection
against foreign competition in this in
dustry.
Mr.. Mckinney dwells very deliberately
upon the benefits to labor Of protection
| given to the manufacturer. Let us eX-
anime this strange doctrine. Why pass
protection to the manufacturer solely
and alone, and then trust to his gener-
oslty solely and alone, to pass it over 10
the laboring man? Why not pass it di.
rectly to the laborer as well as the man.
ufacturer, and treat them alike? Or, why
not pass it to the laborer alone, and
trust him to pass it to the manufacturer
in order to keep his wages up? just
turn this protective theory for the ben.
eft Of labor over and see how 1t looks.
1t will be necessary for Mr.. Mckinney
to speak once more, and
| FOR THE LABORING MAN
to pay more than $40 to fully explain
the benefits Of protection to labor,
where it is given to the manufactured
alone for the benefit of the labOrer.
Is it not true that all labor comes into
this country absolutely free, and always
has. 1t is not true that the pauper
labor of Europe has been invited to
come here and seek employment in our
free, unprotected, labsr market, and has
found ready employment with protect
ed Industries, and the home labOrer has
been turned out to tramp, and is now
looking to such men as Coxey for a
Moses to lead him out of the wilderness,
because foreign pauper has his Job!
| Is it not also true that when this home
laborer became tramp because for.
eign pauper got his unprotected Job the
protected manufacturer never said a
word about giving him anything extra
when he left because the government
was protecting him? Will some gentle.
man who breaches tariff for protection
explain this?
Is it not true that the gate to this
country stands wide open. and that for
eigners have always been invited to
swarm here, and are now swarming al
the rate of half-milli6n year2
Is 1t not true, till restricted by law,
that steamship companies have secured
