When the Knights of Labor and kin dred organizations shall have obtained in. foreign lands the same commanding posi tion and influence enjoyed, in the United States, .the inequality of wages will dis appear, not by leveling our wages down but by leveling their wages up.

' Every dollar's worth oj labor imported is by so mnch a reduction of home Iabor er's'wages. This axiom is not offset by the declaration that there are more goods in the imported dollar's worth. The po sition of the protectionist is rather strengthened by such a specious presenta tion of the matter, heeause the question Is then instantly forced upon every Intel- ligent.man. How can Amerlsan labor earn . dollars none industry in wmen ne is ex perienced is transferred to foreign lands? The theory of protection advocated by .the RepubUcan party lathe same as the -underlying principle upon which all labor organizations are founded. A friend-to organized labor that believes in organiza tion as a means to enhance and mJaftain wages cannot consistent v- oppose a party that applies to all labor the same principle o'f protection from unfair competition that 'the individual trade organisation gives to the single trade. Trade organ izations to aid in advancing wages in their respective trades and the protec tive system demanded? by the republi can party trill secure for all the toilers'in .the land a similar fostering care. That this is clearly understood bvmott of the thinking leaders of organized labor is proved, by the declaration rejcentlymade. in favor of the American system, and. a homemarket by the presiding officers of the onraaizaUon renresentinstne iron and. kthe glass industries of the United-States. lnere .iff no- better organization oi any -one trade than tfie Amalgamated Associa . tion of Iron and Steel Workers. There is no trade more thoroughly. organized or better disripjined than that of the Win dow Glass. Workers, nor one in which higher wages are paid. The warnings of the officers representing those trades against free1 trade are very significant and ahould be heeded. .A careful consideratiom of all these facta convinces me that the. present is a grave crisis hi the political affairs of our coun trv. and that I have no right to remain silent.

A good deal has been said about tho amount of savings' in Jthe two countries, the UaiUdStataa aad Kaaad. and the effort Ja marts by the free traders to prove that the worklngtnen of this .country do not save very mueh more than the work- ingmen of England. It is probable, that very f ow people believe this, but so long as tho assertion is made the proof might as -well be printed, so that. the working men of the country may see Just how much their savings exceed those of Great Britain. . In 1860 there were $58,178,000 of .de posits in the savings banks of this state; hi 1886 there were $469,628,000. an in crease of 800 percent.' In the same pe riod the average amount to the credit of each depositor increased from $209 to $380. The savings bank deposits of Great Britain in I860 amounted to $190.-890.000; .in 1886, to '$496,000,000, an increase of about 118 per cent. In, the same period the average amount credited to each British depositor was $29, an increase of $12 since 1860. It will be seen that in 1860 the deposits in this state were not one-third of the deposits in Great Britain, but in 1886 the deposits here had not only increased by 800 per cent., but they were more than $63,600,000 in excess of the deposits in-the British savings banks.' In Now York and Kings counties the deposits increased from $49,000,000 to $294,000,. .000. about 600 per cent., while the indi vidual deposit1 increased from $216 to $384. In Massachusetts the depositors in sav ings banks' average two' to each family, and in Great Britain nine to each family. K,ow, will -some good freo trader tell us how the worUngmen of protected America can save more money than the British workingmen, if the prices in England are so much lower 'than here that the lower wages there have more purchasing power? New York Mail and Express. TTaa CoUea Clab .eat Clevelaad . The annual report of the British Cobden club contains the following significant eulogy of President Cleveland and his policy: "In the United States President Cleve land's message carries with it the promiso of such measures of tariff reform of may. In the course of a few years, make some thing like a revolution in international trade. Not only would the direct results of opening the markots-of such a country bo enormous, but, if the United States, hitherto' the great supporters of protec tion, should become satisfied that protec tion is a delusion, and that their own best advantage is to be found in free trade, such a change in jtheir opinion and practice could not fail to influence the opinion and . practice of the rest of the world."

THE PRESIDENT'S RECORD. .a "levlew of the reenllar Caaadlaa Palicy I el the rreaeat Adj-U-datraUoa. Tho president's desperate attempt to retrieve the diplomatic reputation of his administration renders a review of its Canadian policy timely. When he en-, tend upon office a transition stage in the relation of the United States and the Do minion was approaching. The fisheries clauses of tho treaty of Washington had proved an unsatisfactory and inequitable arrangement so far as American interests were concerned. An exorbitant price for inshore fishing right shad been exacted by the (Halifax arbitrators. The award of $5,560,000 was paid under protest, and when the period which it embraced had passed there was no disposition on the part of the United States to reopen nego tiations for a renewal of the contract. Ex perience had demonstrated that the Cana dian Inshore fisheries were not worth as much to American fishermen as the privi lege of free entry to the New England market was to the Dominion fishing fleet. Accordingly, notice wss given to the British government of the abrogation of the fisheries articles. By act of congress and President Arthur's proclamation these articles wero to lapse on July 1, 1885. The American fishing fleet had known for two years what would happen, and were not ouly fully prepared for the change, but very eager to have their home -market protected against their Canadian rivals. This was the situation when the presi dent was inaugurated. Congress had ab rogated the fisheries articles; President Arthur had proclaimed the change of pol icy, and American fishermen were de lighted with the prospect of securing re lief from tho burdens of on inequitable treaty. What was the first diplomatic act of the new administration in these cir cumstances? Secretary Bayard having been' approached by the astute British minister affected alarm on account of the reversion to the treaty of 1818 in the mid dle of a fishing season. He gratefully ac--cepted an offer from Canada for a tern poraty extension of the inshore fishing privileges, provided the president in his first ,message would 'recommend a settle ment of tho fisheries dispute by arbitra tion,' The British minister was thus al lowed in the first instance to dictate a passage of the message relating to the fisheries. The abrogated clauses were continued in force for six months without authority of congress. A policy in the interest of American fishermen, which had received tho approval of senate and house, and had been officially proclaimed by; President Arthur, was reversed before the new administration had been in power for three months. Tho president earned out Secretary Bayard's compact with the British.minis tef, but the senate rejected by a decisive vote his recommendation for arbitration. The season of 1886 opened with the treaty of 1818 in operation, and the first series of outrages on American commerce oc carredon the Dominion seaboard. Con gress passed a retaliation measure with out division on party lines. The president inado no attempt to enforce this legisla tion during that season, nor in the fol lowing year, although as many as 400. American vessels were boarded, seized, harassed and subjected to expense or an noyance on the Dominion seaboard. Ho met congress with a complaint that the retaliatory powers were inadequate, and the declaration that diplomacy was the I only remedy. The senate promptly en larged thoso powers in Itxu, JJemocrats sjnd Republicans voting as one man. Then was witnessed a strange spectacle. The administration exerted all its influ ence for months to prevent the passage of any retaliation measure. The Belmont and Manning projects were brought for ward apparently for the express purpose ef blocking' legislation altogether on this Subject. This maneuver was defeated by the' passage of the senate bill in the houso largely by Republican votes. The administration having been twice armed with authority from congress evaded its responsibility, neglected to en jforco the retaliation acts and pursued its diplomatic adventures. After hundreds and denied their commercial rights it uucuuu ncsacia uau wcu m-u-kxx.. made a humiliating treaty of surrender without securing reparation for wrongs suffered by American citizens or for in sults offered to the American flag. At If the same time it had loaded Canadian cor- porations with gratuities worth millions tff Jfl11M 4l lt"n T1 ttiAl . nfum American commerce and railways. This is the administration that suddenly bounces upon the scene like a circus clown in the stripes and spangles of the American flag, shrieking that it will retaliato-and fight hard if congress will only furnish it with a larger pair of box ing gloves. New York Tribune. WHAT FREE TRADE MEANS. It ladaatrial Rata aad Starvation . of Honest Labor. Mr. Cleveland in his message advocate- a reduction of tariff, which tehds'towar i free trade Mr. Mills -in his tariff reforu: bill advocates tho samea needless auI wicked assault upon the industries of America. The question for-your consideration is. which party will you support ihe coming election the protection party or the free trade party. What to free trade? It means that the ports of all countries are open to each other, so that one coun try can trade with another without ex pense, duty or tax. .Which means: 1. That the American workman must eonipefcagainat the cheap labor of Europe. Reduction of wages in every branch of trade. S. Reduction I of the earning power of every dollar of eapnat now invested in 'America, either la aannfaetnring, fm--ag or any other pursuit. V Ree .trade is all very well so far as ateropean countries an concerned, where It costs the same price for labor. For in stance, a laboring nan in England, Ire land, Germany, Scotland, Spain, Italy or China, earns on an average of 40 cents per day; inAaieriea the average Is $1-20 par day. Now, if the laborer of this eonatry Is willing to work for the same WW M.thwprkmeuof EjUOaaVt TRYIN(i r BJBF W MMt U t X.

Suppose a man can make two pairs ef shoes a Say. It costs' $1.20 to make them in this country and only 40 cents to make them -In Europe. Take off the protection tariff and every manufacturer and mer chant in America will have his shoes made on the other side, bring them over here and sell .them until our people are too poor to buy. Freo trade means destruction to ail our industries. It means that the clerk, the Bechanie and laboring man and their families will be ground down to starva tion wages, as is the case with the poor people of Europe. It. means that the children of tbe.laboring man will be de prived of the benefits of our public schools and our free institutions, for in stead of going to school they wilr be com pelled to work at the loom.-in the shop or (a the field, to ears, food and' scanty clothing.' " Many of you within the sound of my voice remember tho condition of the poor people who worked in the paper-mills at Factory village and at Rock City Falls near. by,beforo ihe war. There was no tariff for Protection then, there was a slight tariff for- revenue, but not enough to afford protection for the poor laborers. I remember when I was a boy I would sometimes visit thoso paper mills and no ticed frequently families consisting jof father, mother, sons and daughters work ing from morning until night, and then with their combined earnings could afford meat only once a week and poor food the balance. Their, little homes wero poorly fur nished, no carpet on the floor, tables with out covers, no china; instead tin plates, lead spoons, and pewter mugs were used. On Sunday they did not attend church, for they wero too poorly dressed, and all this misery was caused under the system which Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Mills are advocating today. After the war, when the tariff was raised so that paper could not be import ed from -England and Wales any cheaper than It could be manufactured here, the condition of these poor people im proved rapidly, and in a few-years the children attended school with good shoes and nest clothes, and their little homes were transformed from abodes of misery to thoso of comfort and luxury. And this improvement among the poor people of the whole section continues, and this under the protective tariff system. .Do you -want to change this system? Do you want to bring destruction and ruin on our industries? Do you want to see a reign of terror in our country? If you do. then vote for Cleveland and free trade. rCries of "No!" and applause. J A speech delivered by C C. Shane, of New York, in Galwsy, N. Y.. his natite place. AXew York Capitalist TaltoWhy He Is a Five Trader. A New York capitalist gives some interesting reasons for being a free trader. They are. highly important to workingmen, as well as interesting, and we give them below: "1 believe in free trade; it is the only thing that will kill trades unions and Knights of Labor associations. It will stop all strikes In this country, and end short boors and poor work, because in a competition with England the price of labor In this country windfall so low that the workingman must work all the time to get enough money to support his fam ily, and he must also work ten hours a day. There will not be any strikes, for if there are, goods will be shipped here im mediately from England and the market supplied, so that our country will not bo dependent upon our own workingmen and they can-make nothing by striking." That man is a free trader and gives an honest reason for being one His view of the case is entirely logical The tariff is rarely a question or wages. Cleveland er. Deasocratte Ways and Tho most recent offender against tho civil service law is the chairman of the Democratic state central committee of North Carolina, who has sent to.each per son from that state holding position under the government at Washington a. circular soliciting contributions to the campaign fund. This is in direct violation of the law, but it is not likely to receive any at tention from the civil service commission, at least not at present, that body being exclusively engaged at this time in its customary task of doing nothing and keeping quiet about it Furthermore, as the present commission owes its official life to the man who is to be benefited by the money which the North Carolina as sessor is gathering, tho harshest punish ment he will receive will probably boa few warning remarks against the folly of being found out Philadelphia Press. Why Do They Eaalgrafc-f No better evidence of the prosperity of two nations can be afforded than in their tables of emigration and immigration. When you are told that England Is pros perous, point to the fact that she is an nually parting with over a quarter of a million of her best workers, most of whom come to the United States. There is a national commission in England which has for years been studying tho problem of how to get rid ofpeople, because free trade is rapidly driving out of employ ment a once prosperous class of her work ingmen. On the other hand, the United States is annually receiving nearly a half million immigrants, and has received since tho opening of the decade over four millions. Put these facts together, and ask yourself which country Is doing best. San Francisco Chronicle. The Iriahira Failed to Do It, However. Here is "what Cleveland's flapdoodle message means. It is pointedly set forth in the following circular sent out to hun dreds of prominent Democrats by the chairman of the Democratic state com mittee of Ohio: Coltjxbus; O., Aug. 24, 1888. Have prominent Irishmen send congra tulatory telegrams to President Cleveland on bis message on the fishery treaty and get up demonstration if possible. J.B. To-txsejd.

On tho 14th of May. 1882, Bismarck in a speech before the German reichstag eaid: "The success of the United States in material development Is tbe most il lustrious of modern time. The American nation has not only successfully borne and suppressed the most gigantic and ex pensive war of all history, but immedi ately afterward disbanded its army, found employment for all its soldiers and ma rines, paid off most of its debt, gave labor and homes to all tbe unemployed of Europe as fast as they could arrive within its territory, and still by a system of tax ation so indirect as not to be perceived, much less 'felt. Because it is my deliber ato judgment that the prosperity of America is mainly due to its' system of protective laws. I urge that Germany has now reached that point where it la necessary to imitate the tariff system Of the United States. - Anything for Jto-electlea. The presidential proclamation as to the fisheries was prepared some time ago, and the administration organs were all ready to start their steam whistles. The fisheries treaty was one -of tho Incapable Bayard's fumbling performances, ana was rejected ss a cowardly surrender of American rights. Its -rejection opened the way for the monkey message from Cleveland, who would regard any' war possible an advantage if it resulted in his re-election. The, Democratic party is ea pablo of anything before or after the elec tion that in their judgment would help in tho continuation or extension of their power. But they cro already bellowing that they did not mean anything hardly bv the noise Cleveland made. Cincitiueti Commercial Gazette. senator Xergai's Tight Ceraer. President Cleveland has placed bis sup porters in many close anil inconvenient corners by bis sudden change of base on the fishery question, but no one has -a closer corner to escape from than Senator Morgan, who last year signed an opfadon that Artkle-29 of the treaty of Washing ton was still in force, and. row. since he has heard from the president, is forced to recant his settled aad declared opinion, not on an issue of -peaky and politics, but onaIegBlintenretMeaof a statute and treaty. rauaaeipnie Of Csiss It Weavt.
