The emigration statistics for the

now at hand and they show that the

mentioned has been very great, no

The increase is mainly from Russia,
Portland and Austria, there being

his voting against the resolution to

Mr. Pqwderly has written a letter
to the Journal of the Knights of
Labor which shows how little sym
pathy the workingmen, if he fairly
. ii i -ii
represents tneir views, nave vicn
the efforts that are being made by
the democratic press to create a
sentiment against the republican
party on account of the troubles at
Homestead. "Partisan papers," he
says, "are endeavoring to make poll
tical capital out of the terrible
scenes which took place at Home
stead the other day. The deraocra
tic papers are vehement in their
denunciation of the republican party
for enacting a tariff law under which
protection was afforded to manufac
turers. There is no love for workr
ingmen in the hearts of these editors;
a desire to serve party interests alone
actuates them." He then proceeds
to show that the democrats have not
at anv time when the tariff was
under discussion in congress taken
the ground that the workingman
should share in the profits of the
employer. He never was considered
at all by tbe opponents of protection
and not a word did they pver say in
his behalf. "The Pinkertons," says
Mr. Powerly, "existed before the
Mills bill was introduced in con

to flourish now that the McKinley
bill is in force. Whether fhe tariff

An Independent Political Meeting.
As previously announced, R. C.
Hardiu, one of the numerous editors
of the Era, harangued the follow
ers of the meek and lowly indepen
dent party at a small and rickety
old school house near Willard.
We have always desired to see
the speaker and bear a speech that
would meet with the applause and
approbation of the calamity howlers;
men who bad mortgaged their farms;
but not for - purchase money; men
who' are glad of the chance to jump
into the arms of any new party for
the sake of an office; men who7 al
ways have more business away front
home tending to other men's affairs;
men who keep a half dozen corn
crib horses and cuss the republican
party because these horses had ac
complished nothing while their
owner was viewing the country;
men who had served only as hench
men to every new party that came
along; men who had been gobbled
up by tho book agent and machine
men. We say we always desired to
hear a platform discussed that would
act a3 a sort of bi-chloride to such
men.
No doubt the substance of Mr.
Hardin's speech will be howled up
and down the country irom now
until election day aud to put our
voters more on their guard we wish
to lay before them through The
Tribune the fallacies of the speak
ers of this mush-room independent
party.
The independent party claims to
be the friend of the loor man, and
yet they say that the tariff has no
place in this campaign. Can any
man truthfully say after reading
the report of the committee sent
out by congress to investigate the
Homestead riot that that riot was
directly attributed to. the tariff?
Has not a just tariff been kept and
advocated bv the republicans in
order that the wages of the work
ingman might be kept at
prices?
Now low tariff and. free trade
means low wages and consequent
low prices.for the farmers' products',

.Ihe government does not loan

In 18G4 candidate Adlai Stevenson was
a presidential elector upon a Copperhead
ticket that declared "the war a failure,"
and did everything in his power to make
it "a failure." He was beaten in Illinois
by C1.266 votes. If we make it an even

Here is the interpretation which
the Hon. Frank Hurd, of Ohio, the
veteran free trader, puts upon the
Chicago platform; "I understand
the platform to declare that there
shall be no taxation upon articles
imported into this country which
come into competition with similar
articles produced in this country;
that is, that the law shall not be
used for the protection of the man
ufacturer of an article, into compe
tion with which some foreign arti
comes. I do not see where there is
any distinction between protection
and incidental protection. If the
latter is declared a fraud, that in
cludes the latter." How is this ye
