compelling American labor to compete
on even terms with the pauper paid
labor of Europe, as they must do, if
foreign made goods are given free
access to our ports and markets. Mr..
Mesick is a Republican, and thorough
believer in Republican principles. He
has no sympathy whatever, with that
gigantic sham known as tariff reform,
but believes i'll levying an import duty
on all foreign made goods which come
into direct competition with goods of
American manufacture. and of making
that duty sufficiently high to offset the
difference paid the labor which enters
In other words, he is a staunch protec-
Honest. Otherwise the following notice

'Congressman-e elect, w. S. Mesick is
fast closing up his law business SO rs to
get away to go to Washington this
winter TO look i'll upon the closing ses-
sion of Congress and attend the inaugu-
ration of the new administration. Mr..
Mesick is alive to all the leading ques-
tons of the day and is giving his best
of those questions that will come up in
the next Congress. He is not radical
on any question, but inclined to be con-
sentative. While he is orthodox upon
the money question, he has been and is
earnestly in favor of bimetalism under
proper and satisfactory arrangements
without disturbing business. He is
strictly democratic upon the tariff-no
more tariff than will bring sufficient
revenue. He is opposed to making any
man or set men rich at the expense of
the masses, but believes in protecting
American labor He is in sympathy
with the Cubans in their struggle for
liberty, and yet would guard carefully
