DEAR SIR Please allow me TO
call the attention Of my fellow work.
lngmen to the campaign falsehoods
OF the Republican party concerning
the late strike in the Connellsyllle
coke region. This question is known
FAR and near and it was not a re-
ductlon in wages that caused the
strike as some claimed. 1t was the
men asking for raise in wages and
the operators offered the men what
they asked, but declined to recog-
nIze the organization hence the
strike. The organization caused
tins long and bitter struggle be.
tween capital aud the laboring men
of the coke regions.

The Louisiana sugar planters who
have deserted the Democratic party
and gone over to the Republican
party because Democratic Con-
gross abolished the sugar bounty.
say they were opposed to the sugar
bounty, but having been forced on
them they are opposed to any party
that would take it away from them.
In other words, they were Mortified
at the idea Of being debauched, bat
having been dcbauched they turn
their backs on any party which
won't debauch them and flee o the
only party which has ever dcbauch
ed them. The more people of this
kind the Democratic party loses the
worthler it is Of public confidence.
If the sugar bounty bad not been
abolished, 1t would this year have
amounted to $22, 100000. Next
year it would have been $40, 900. 900
and there would have been a con-
