"PENNY WISH AND POUND
FOOLISH."1
"When the democratic party succeeded
in in repealing the tariff, England
seized upon that opportunity totlood this
country with her good:. To-control the
American market in railroad iron wus a
reat object for her iron manufacturers.
At that time railroad iron could not bo
manufactured in the -United States for
less than -"i0 per ton, and the English
manufacturer at once placed his railroad
iron in the hands of our builders at 40
per ton, and the difference of $10 per ton
gave the Englishman the control of our
markets. The result was our iron mills
were ruined and the thousands of work
men engaged in the business were thrown
out of employment and driven to other
pursuits. This accomplished, the English
prices at once ran up to $75 per ton.
From 1850 to 18.14 the Englishman con
trolled our markets completely, and at
advancing prices sold us some 800,000
tons and upwards of railroad iron at $73
per ton. This little item footed up the
neat sum of $G0,000.000 paid to the
British railroad iron monopoly, and was
taken right out of the pockets of Anieri
en manufacturers and American work
ingnien. Now attempt to compute the
loss to all uCih-t brandies of -imcrican
industry occassiontj by this one blunder
of the free traders, and ine reader can
form some estimate of the loss Lj the
American working man. Home $G0,000,
000 was directly taken from the country !
Great industries were destroyed and with
them the home market they afforded.
Thousands of well-paid workingmcn
were thrown out of employment and
compelled to enter other branches of in
dustry, competing with fellow laborers,
polling down wages, dcetroyiug the ca
pacity of all to purchase, cither at home
or abroad, and all this loss was entailed
upon the country in this single industry at
the demand of a slave-driving, free-trade
oligarchy, under the guidance and uame
of the democratic party; which is again
demanding that the voter of this country
place it in the power of that party to des
troy our home markets.
Wk have been giving figures showing
wages paid in this country as compared
vith wage paid in England in the man
ufacture of cotton goods and here give a
table showing the difference in wages be
tween a woolen mill m Aberdeen, Scot
land, and one in New York State, as
frhown by the books of the mills. The
Aberdeen mill represents English prices:

These figures are taken from the con
surlar reports which were submitted to
our government upon requst "ujon the
state of labor in Europe" and represent
weekly wages. The same tables show
labor in all classes in Great Britain to be
from one third to one half less than that
paid in the United States, viz: Farm
labor in that country only averaged in
1878, and it is about the same today,
$3.40 to $4.2i per week. Printers aver
aged $7.52 and in Chicago at same time
$12.18. Blacksmiths $7.04 to $3.12, in
this counrty 10.14. Painters $3.10 and
in This country $10.10. Does any one dis
pute that cheap labor is a national curse?
Yet those who would venture on the
democratic plan must be in favor of
cheaper labor in America.

and rushes home at tl.o same pace. Once
there, ho enjoys himself by takius a rido be
hind the fastest horse ho can afford to own.
After dinner ho plays a game of whist, or, as
that is generally too slow for him. of poker,
until after what ought to bo his bedtime. If
he lives in the eity bis eveniug3 are spent at
thoelub or tho theatre, or ia tho hotel corri
dors talking business. Rest ho has none,
unless perhaps on Sunday, when ho spends
most of tho morniyg looking through the
papers, and most of the afternoon dozing, or
perhaps taking another ride behind his trot
ters. Americans do everything fast, espe
cially in New York. They take their drinks
standing, and at a gulp. Tbey eat one meal
a day in about tho same fashion. Th7 walk
fast, talk fast, make and lose money fast,
ride fast, sail fast, eat fast, drink fast, and if
a way could be discovered of sleeping fast
they would do that.
After one gets into it there is a swing and
a movement in all this that is fascinating.
It is contagious, and we all catch it. There
is the same sort of pleasure in doing busineav
fast that there is in driving a fast horse or
sailing a fast boat. That is one reason why
Sew York is tho most fascinating of Ameri
Ican cities. After its "go," oilers seem a
little tame. One become used to excitement,
and wants to keep strung up to' concert pitch
all tho time. Beyoad doubt, too, tliaid'js
something good and admirable in this rapid
ity. It enables us to accomplish marvels.
Wo Lav.a come nearer than any other people
to annihilating iiaio and space.
But, after all, when ccp thinks it over
cjilmly if perchance he can ever Ss4 time
to thii.fc: calmly la this hurry worth our
while! Or, to pat it from the American
point of view, does it pay? The answer to
that question depends upon tho goal we h.ye
in view. Most moii are making all jthis Lasi?

Possibly a few of them may, but tho vast
majority do not When they get an income
of SiOflOQ they want $20,000; when they have

of us ever gets rich enough, fh? few who
do leave off business generally find that Mu,-y

hurry and push of tlyj business world. The
capacity for enjoyment has io cultivated,

Car Seats Turned for LIIrs.
"Can't you turn over this seat for m"
asked a man who was traveling with his
little boy on a train going out pf New York
on one of the trunk line roads the other day.
The question was addressed to a brakeman.
who seemed endowed with good nature abovw
the average of his class. Thas he was in a
cheerful f ramo of mind was shown by the
pleasant smilo t hat illumined his countenance
as he answered:
"Sorry, sir, but I can't 4-3 it ?lt.hout ths
conductor's permission."
On the conductor's next trip through the
car the same question was put to him.
"No," he replied; "it's against the rules to
turn over a scat for a gentleman. If you
had a lady with you it would be all right"
"Can't you do it for a little boy?" queried
the passenger, pointing to his traveling com
panion. "No, that wouldn't do."
"How long has that been the rulef was
tho next question.
"About six weeks."
"What mad the company make such a
ruler
"Because the men would pat their feet oa
:ho seats. There were ten coaches spoile4
that hadn't been out of the shops more than
two months. There were big black spots of
reaso and shoe blacking on the cushions,
and, of course, they had to bo fixed over
again. The company couldn't stand that
sort of thing, and they decided to shut down
on tho wholo business. I've no doubt you
would treat the seat all right, but we have
to enforce the rule against all alike. Ladies
can still have the seats turned over, for they
are not apt to stretch out their feet and
sprawl all over the seats. I don't know
whether other companies have made the
same rule or not, but I should think they
would have to do so if their experience has
been the same as ours." New Tork Tribune.
An Explanation.
What is this "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be afflicted? If
you will remember a few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively un
known, today it is as common as any
word in the English language, yet this
word covers only the meaning of another
word used by our forefathers in times
past. So it is used with nervous diseases,
as they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Biliousness,
and all are caused by troubles that arise
from a diseased condition of the Liver
which in performing its functions finding
it cannot dispose of the bile through the
ordinary channel is compelled to pass it
off through the system causing nervous
troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc.
You who are suffering can well appreci
ate a cure. We recommend Green's Au-
giifct Flqwer. Its cures are marvelous.
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

the name of one of our livinic herot s whose

ADMISSION OK TERRITORIES,

residents and citizens of the territory w herein
they are to serve. South Dakota should 'f
right Lcniori'teiy admitted as a state in
the union Tmdr the Coiutii.iUon framed and
adopted by her people, and we n'eartily en
dorse the action of the republican senate in
twice passing bills for her admission. 3 he re
fusal of the democratic house of representa
tives, tor partisan purposes, to favorably con
sider these bills is a willful violation of the
sacred American principle of lonal self-government,
and nierits the cninlmnatioii of .11 just
men. The pending bills in the senate for acts
to enable t!e people of Wishington, .North
Dakota and Mouimiiia territories to form con
stitutions and establish slate governments
should be passed without unnecessary clelsv.
The republican party pledges inself to do all in
its power to facilitate the admission of the ter
ritories of New Mexico. Wyoming, Idaho and
Arizona to the enjoyment of self-government
aa&t'iiM. Such of them as are now qualified
as soon as possible. and others as soon as they
may becdme gc,'
THE MOBXOK QUESTION.
The political power of the Mormon ciiurch in
the territories as exercised in the past is a
menance to free institutions too dangerous to
be lone suffered. Therefore we pledge the re
publican party to appropriate legislation,
asserting the sovereignty of the nation in all
tlie territories where the same is questioned,
and in furtherance of thai end to place
upon the statute book legislation stringent
enough to divorce political from ecclesiastical
power, aud thus stamp out the attendant
wickedness of polygamy.
The republican party is iu favor of the use
of both gold and silver as money, and con
demns the policy of the democratic adminis
tration m its efforts to demonetize silver.
We demand the reduction of letter postage
to 1 cut per ounce.
In a republic like ours, where the citizens Is
the sovereign and the official the servant,
where no power is exercised except by the will
of tua people. It is important that the sover
eign people should possess intelligence. The
free school is the promoter of that intelligence
which is to preserve us a free nation. There
fore, the state or nation, or both conbined.
should support free institutions of learning
sufficient to afford to every child growing up
in the land the opportunity of a good common
school education.
OUR MEKfllAXT MAlilNE,
We earnestly recommend that prompt action
be taken in crc?css in the ei actment of such
legislation as will best secure the rehabilita
tion of our Americxu merchant marine, and
we protest against the passage by congress cf
a free ship bill as calculated to work injustice
to labor by lessening the wages of those en
gaged in preparing materials as well as those
directly employed in our shipyards. We de
mand appropriation" for the early rebuilding
of our navy, for the construction of coaal
fortifications and modern ordinance and otner
Approved modern means of defense for the
protection cf our defenseless harbors and
cities, for the payment of just- pennions to"; our
soldiers, for necessary w-rke of. national im
portance in the improvement of the harbors
and channels of interual, coastwiser and
lore.'gn commerce, for the encouragement of
the shipping interests of the Atlantic. Golf
and Taciflc states a ell as for the payment
of the maturing public debt. This policy will
give employment to our labor, activity to our
various industries, iacreased security to our
country, promote trade, open new and direct
markets for our products and cheap n the cost
of transportation. We affirm this lobe far
better for our country than tn democratic
policy of loaning the government' money
without interest to "pet banks."
FOUF.K1N RELATIONS.
The conduct of foreign affairs by the present
administration lias been distinguished by inef
ficiency and cowardice. Having withdrawn
from the senate all pending tieatles effected
by republican administratioi s for the removal
of foreign burdens and restrictions upon our
comineice and for Its extension into a better
market, it bus neither affected nor proposed
any others In their stead. Professing adher
ence to the Monroe doetrlre, it has seen with
idle complacency the extension of foreign in
llucnce in Central America and of foreign trade
everywhere among our neighbors. It has re
fused to charter, sanction or encourage any
American organizytlon for constructing the
Nicaragua canal, a work of vtal importance to
the n. aintenauee of the Monroe doctriue and
of our national inline lice Central and South
America, and necessary for the development
of trade with our Pacific territory, with South
America, and with the further coasts of the
I'acitlc Ocean.
FISHERIES QUESTION.
We arraign the present democratic adminis
tration for its weak and unpatriotic treatment
of the fisheries question, and its pusillanimous
surrendcrof all privileges to which our fishery
vessels are entitled in Canadian ports under
the treaty of lss, the reciprocate marin
tiiie legislation of IS.'iO and comity of nations,
and which Canadian fishing vessels receive in
the ports of the t'nited States. e condemn
iheiolicvof the present administration and
the democratic majority in congress towards
our IWhrries ;w unfriendly and consplcioiisly
unpatriotic and as tending to destroy a valuable
nat ional industry aud an indispensihle resource
of defense against f- reign enemy.
The name of American applies alike to i-11
cilizens of the repahli?. and imposes upon men
alike the same obligation of obedience to the
'awe. At the same limeci'izenship is and must
be the panoply and safeguard of him who weais
it, should shied and protect him whether high
or low, rich or poor, in all his civil rights. It
should and imist'afford hloi protection at home
and follow and protect him abroad in whatever
laud he may be on a lawful errand.
CIVIL SKKVII K REFORM.
The men who abandoned the republican par
ty In and continue to adhere to the demo
cratic party have deserted not only the cause
of honest government, tint of sound finance, of
freedom :and purity of the ballot, but espec
ially have deserted the cause of reform in the
civil service. We will i.ot fall to keen our
pledges becanse tl ey have broken theirs, or
because ineir canuiuaie nas oroKen ins. e
therefore repeat our declaration of Ism, tow't :
The reform of civil service auspiciously begqi
under republican administration should be
completed by a further extension of tli" reform
svstem already established by law to all grades
of the xervice to u hich it is applied. The spir
it and purpose of reform should be observed in
all executive appointments, and alt laws at
varience w ilh the object of existing reform h-g-islation
should he repealed, and that the dan
gers to free institutions which lurk in the pow
er of official patronage may be wisely and ef
fectively avoided.
The gratitude of the nation to the defenders
of the union cannot be assured except by laws.
The legislation of congress should conform to
the pledges made ny a loyal people, and be so
enlarged and exteuded as to proy'de agahi.-.t
the possibility that' any man who honorably
wore the federal uniform shall become an in
mate of an almshouse or dependent on private
charity. In the presence of an overflowing
treasury it would b a public scandal to do less
for those whose valorous service preserved the
government. We denounce the hostile spirit
shown by 1'resident Cleveland in his numerous
vet.ies of measures for pension relief, and the
action of th dejiiGpr.iJip hbitpj.! of e,)ifsL-iLi'-tives
in refusing even consideration of general
pension legislation.
In support of the principles herewith enun
ciated, we invite the co-operation of patriotic
men .f all parties, especially of all working
men whose prosperity is seriously threatened
by the free trade policy of the present admin
istration. tepu0licaf) jStjita pprjyention.
