FOR LABOR 2.
TESTIMONY WHICH THROWS
LIGHT UPON HIS AT
TTTUDE.
While a Member Of the Ways and
Means Committee, He Turned Deaf
Ear to the Glass-Blowers and Call
ed Them Public Beggars-Manu-
facturers Were Robbers.

Harrisburg, Pa. Oct. 24.-"You are a
robber. You are public beggars."
This harsh language was applied by
William Jennings Bryan while a men,
Der of congress to a body Of window
glass workers who appeared before the
house committee on ways and means
in behalf of a tariff to protect their la
Dor. in September. 1893. Mr.. Bryan
was a member of the ways and means
committee and did all he could to des-
troy every vestige of protection to
labor in the compilation of the tariff
bill that is now law. This statement
is worn to by James Campbell Of
Pennsylvania, one of the best-known
windowglass workers in the United
states-a gentleman who has been fore
most in the efforts OF workingmen be-
fore congress to ecure protection to
American labor-and by Charles Bry-
ant Of Anderson, Ind, another window
glass worker we'll known to members
Of the glassblowers' associations
throughout the country. Their afl-
davits are as follows:
A committee, representing the Win
dow-Glass Workers organization Of
America, composed of John P. Eber-
hart, president, A. NJ. Hammet, treas
urer and James Campbell, all Of Pitts
burg, Pa; G. L. Cake and John Kealey
of Jeanette, Pa; Charles Bryant Of
Alexandria, Ind, and Joseph higgins
Of Brfdgeton, No. j., were sent to Wash
lngton in September, 1893, to protest
against any reduction Of the tariff on
window-glass. We produced conclu-
sive evidence to any fair-minded man
that a reduction of the tariff would re-
suit in a reduction of the wages Of the
workers. Notwithstanding that evil
dence. the tariff was reduced and a re-
duction OF the workers wages follow
ed. w. J.. Bryan, now candidate for
president on the democratic ticket, was
a member of the ways and Means com-
mittee at that time, and after the COM
mittee had adjourned. a manufacturer
who was present. got into a CONVERSE
ton with Mr.. Bryan and was explaining
to him the beneficial result. that the
people Of this country had received I'M
der the protective tariff system, and II
the tariff on window-glass was reduced
as they proposed, he would be forced
to reduce the wages Of the workers.
which he had no desire to do.
Mr.. Bryan looked him straight in the
eye and said: You are a robber." One
OF our committee spoke up and said:
"Mr. Bryan, If the employer is a robber,
what are the working men," He
promptly replied: you are public
beggagrs." One of the committee said:
I'VE do not consider it begging to ask
for protection against the cheap labor
of foreign countries" He said: Never
theless. you are public beggars." and
with that he left the committee room.
The above Is substantially what &C.
Cured after the ways and means COM
mittee had adjourned.
