UNION MEN
MAKE INQUIRIES
And Declare Mr.. Mckinley Hired
No Union Help
TO REPAIR HIS RESIDENCE
Contrast Made with the Manner In Which
Mr.. Bryan Conducted the I'm
provements On Ills
Home.

A Washington special to the Cincin-
natl Enquirer says d. L. Stoddard, Of
Brazil, Ind, who was born and reared
a Republican in the state of Vermont,
and who is the Oldest continuous dele
gate to the Central Labor union, and
who is also a meber OF the carpenters
union at Brazil, says he cannot under
stand how any union man can vote for
a continuance of the present admins
trat.on which favors large standing
army. Said he: I'VE all know in tie
end labor must support the army, and
the only recognition laboring men will
receive Is that they will be turned upon
and shot down. l cannot understand
how any union carpenter can vote for u
man who repairs his house with non
union labor, as President Mckinley dill.
NoN-UNIoN wOKMEN.
'In order to be sure that the presi-
dent did employ non-union labor wrote
letter to the secretary of the Canton,
(Ohio), union, and received the following
in reply:
United Brotherhood of Carpenters ami
Union No. 143, Sept. 81, 1900.
I'D. L. Stoddard-Dear Sir and Broth
er: 1 received your communication in
regard to the work done on President
McKinleys house. ] must say that
there was not union man that worked
on it, and that there were bricklayers,
carpenters, skaters. plumbers, painters
and paper hangers.
THE work was all done by non-union
men. The work was all done by tho day;
so if President Mckinley wanted union
men he could have got them. lie is no
friend Of the wokingman.
Hoping this information will prove
satisfactory, am very truly yours,
&C. A. RIMMEL, Financial Sec.
'525 North Mckinley ave-"
"On receipt of the above letter." says
Mr. Stoddard, II wrote President Nc
Kinley for an explanation or denial, but
so far ! have not received a reply.
This in itself shows the utter contempt
he has for organized labor. How diff
ferent Is Mr.. Bryan.
THE BRYAN PORCH.
II have noticed during the many
years that 1 have watched Mr.. Bryan
that his whole thought is for the great
mass of the people. He never forgets
them as the following, from the secre-
tary Of the Lincoln union, will show:
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 4, 1900.
ID. L. Stoddard-Dear Sir and Broth
err Your letter at hand and welcomely
received by Carpenters union No. 113;
also read in meeting with many Others
with same request.
First, ] will say in RECORD to Mr..
Bryan's porch, that all his work was
done by union men. The president, one
Of the trustees and two more Of the
carpenters of our union built the porch.
Union painters painted 1t, The plumb
ing was done by Mr. Wilson, plumber
and president Of the Central Labor
union
"Outside OF the union and labor or
ganizations Lincoln is Republican

full dinner pail and we think we win
get some help by electing Mr.. Bryan.
Yours truly,

the man said was satisfactory. This
contrast shows the two ways. Is 1t
any wonder man like Bryan draws the
crowds and carries couviction?s Take
him all in all, is he not q remarkable
man? The Irish American Union, here
tofore Republican, held big political
meeting in New York the other evening
and proclaimed for Bryan.

man Finerty, Of Chicago, was one Of tho
speakers, both hitherto Republicans,
President Mckinley, Governor Roosc

beriain came In for an odual share Of
denunCiation and h'sscs. Mr.. Finerty In
his address made this point:

exists IN the United States today. f
Lincoln or Garfield should visit this
earth again they would see the disem-
bodied spirit Of George III and Lord
North sitting at Washington with Nc
Kinney and John Hay The party
which was once national and America 1
has become colonial and British. The
Republicans speak of the "fun dinner

on Tuesday of next week, November

will express themselves on the presi'
dency. The choice will be either VIII
liam j. Bryan or William Mckinley,
Four years ago the same gentlemen
were the prominent candidates, but un-
der very different auspices from the
present. Both are now better under
stood, Mr. Bryan having grown in
power and appreciation and Mr.. Me
Kinley having failed signally in severni
respects. To say nothing Of the Dingley
tariff and trust denominations thereby,
the Philippine infamy should sink the
administration in the gloom of defeat
and disaster. For less than this the
Federal party persisted, and its descen
dant, The present Republican party
ought to go to its doom, and if we reaG
the signs of promise Alright the Ameri-
can people will send It there by eectne
William j. Bryan overwhelmingly.
1t must take cheek for the Mckinley
organs to harp on 'the fIll dinner pail
these days of plants all over our land
closed by the trusts, and the coal miners
strike in Pennsylvania. The dinner pan
has otherwise suffered, for prices have
advanced without wages going up ac-
cordingly. But Republican orators and
organs do not allow such little matters
to interfere any more than they regard

these things only count against the

Goebel in Kentucky seems TO be n
crime in the eyes of the Roosevelts and
the usual Republican organ. Three
have been convicted. but Taylor whc
claimed the governorship, finds it pru.
dent to keep out of the state for he is in
dicted also for the murder OF Goebe
This man Taylor was treated as a hero
at the Republican national con lentioH

when the party requires it? They how
horribly at Tammany but have nothing
to say about Philadelphia, the most cor.

another fraud as may be seen by the
trusts formed under it, and by the in

Dun's Review. The business failures
in the United States for the week end

of the same week last year.

and the war taxes on the people con-
tinue, although the national bank tax
of one per cent has been reduced one
half and they have been given an in

OF their bonds. E~
1t will be seen that the people are NOT

items as follows:

These are a few leading items and
show a condition of things worthy OF
serious thought. 1t is claimed that farm
and real estate mortgages have been
reduced the past two years, but exam
ination shows otherwise. "Over ten bill
lion dollars of our indebtedness of forty
billion is due to English money lenders,
who introduced among us the gold
standard. Englishmen now own a ma
jority of the stock of our railroads. and
own fifty million acres Of land along
the Northern Pacific railroad, taken in
under mortgage. Lord Scully, of Eng
land owns $4,000 acres in Illinois, and
has recently imported Russians to till
his farms. We have to pay England
four hundred million dollars a year in
interest on the ten billions owing there"
Andrew Jackson, when president,
paid off the national debt. Let us elect

form in that same direction. "The

Thoee signs are common the country
over and most assuredly give confidence
that Bryan and Stevenson will be tho
victors on November 9th. The thinking
patriotic, fair-minded people of this
and, in Their heart of hearts, condemn
this Philippine iEfamy, to say nothing
Of trusts and other wrongs. There IS no
doubt that a large proportion of those
Republicans who viii vote the McKin-
ey ticket by no means endorse the do.
ngs. American citizens ought TO vote
their sentiments. Our government re-
1uircs prudent, honest government that
wars ana violence may be avoided.
War Secretary Root while visiting the
president here held forth in the taber-
nacle the other evening in long wind
ed defense Of the imperial policy of the
administration, n Part of which he Is.
He said our "demagogues" charged i'm
perialism. Criminal aggression" Mr.
Mckinley said war of conquest would
be. And when the Republicans resolved
that the constitution did not apply to
Porto Rico, here was imperialism
straight out, as it was presidential rule
by the military.
Secretary Root in his annual report
Of 1899, opposed imperialism in Porto
Rico in these words:
THE highest consideration of justice
and good faith demand that we shall
not disappoint the confident expectation
of sharing in our prosperity with which
the people of Porto Rico so gladly trans
ferred their allegiance to the Unite!
States We should treat the interests of
(, I H,.igh
strongly to urge that the customs duties
between Porto Rico and the United
States be removed"
President Mckinley approved this and
declared 1t our plain duty to abolish
all customs tariff between the United
Srates and Porto Rico" But the sugar
trust and other combines declared there
must be Il tarisf.
