An Object Lesson for Laborers.’
While Mr. CarNEcit rests in the
shade of Cowarth Park, at his High-
land summer retreat in Scotland, and
‘his partner Mr. Puirrs revels im the
luxuries of Knebworth Castle and en-
joys the society of English noblemen,
the managers of their works at Home-
- |'stead, this State, are building fortifica-
‘|'tions around and
laying hot-water
pipes through their mills, preparatory
to a seige ‘with their workingmen
whose wages are to suffer another re-
duction on the first of July.
With Carnecie and Pareps itis a
question of greater profits, that they
may make more liberal contributions
to the Republican campaign fund and
lavish more = money. on European
homes and European luxuries. With
‘their men it is a question of bread and
butter for their families and the gim-
man beings can exist upon. :
And Carnrcie & Pripps will win,
They belong to the favored class.
Around. everything they produce or
‘manufacture the government throws
its protecting arms. By taxing com-
petition it enables them to charge
American purchasers just such prices
ag they see proper‘to ask, and at the
same time leaves them free to employ
their, labor where they can get if
cheapest, .or to force their workingmen
‘at the point of a hot-water nozzle,
either to accept such rate of wages as
they may dictate or starve. 1059
For this policy of government—
Republicans call it protection— a
| policy that enriches the employer and
enslayes the employee; the men, whom
CArNEGIE & PHIPPS are preparing to
force into the acceptance of a still fur-
ther reduction of the beggarly wages

among the tilled snobs of Europe, also,
protects them. They can see their
error now if they will look at ‘the port
holes, that guards. their own works
and threatens their own lives, if they
refuse to submit to the reduced scale
of wages that has been arranged for
them.
They have carried banners, em-
blazoned with mottoes setting forth the
beauties and benefits of “protection,”
and they will now have an opportunity
of experiencing both, at the mouth of
a hot water nozzle or submissive
ly accept less wages for their blise
ering work, and less food and fewer
comforts for themselves and families.

Calls Quay Down.
Immediately after the result of the
Chicago Convention was made known,
Senator Quay, in’ order to regain’ his
political standing with his party, and
to appear as favoring the election of
Harrison, published broad cast that

BELLEFONTE, PA., JULY 1, 1892.
Exactly the Kind of a Hatr-pin He Is.
A Collosal Mistake,
The Republican press is finding it’
an up hill job to have their readers be-
lieve that the position of the Demo-
cratic party on the tariff question is for
absolute ‘free trade,” and at the same
time convince them, that this position
is not right, or not what they want.
The masses have tasted a little of
the benefits of tariff reform inthe
cheapened sugars that sweeten their
tea, and the farmers as a class, have
experienced the’ result of reduced tariff
taxation, in the ‘cheapening of the
binder twine, they use for harvesting,
and as they have been assiduously and
persistently ‘taught ‘that, these’ were
the results jof a “free trade’ policy, it
is not to be wondered af, that the hor-
ror they once bad for these words has
vanished and’ they have no care now
whether you call it “free trade” or any
other name, they are for the policy that
cheapens the necessities they are com-
pelled to buy.. : :
And just here is where the Republi-
can campaign liars: have made their
mistake. They have made no dis-
crimination between tariff reform and
absolute free trade.
When Morrison presented his hort-
zontal tariff bill in Congress, years ago,
it was denounced as a British ‘free
trade’ measure.’ When ' president
CLEVELAND issued his famous tariff
‘message a few years later he was as-
‘sailed on all sides as'a rank “free trad-
er.” And when Mirts offered to the
country a bill that would have lifted
‘the burden of tariff taxation from the
shoulders of the ‘masses, and at the
same time left every industry and in-
terest with ample protection, it was de-
cried as “free trade” in ‘the most of
fensive form, :
In fact, every effort to reduce ex-
tortionate,and unnecessary protective
duties in the interest of the consumer,
' has been so bitterly ‘denounced by the
Republican advocates of protection, as
attempts at “free trade,” that the
masses have become doubttul if there
is any middle ground on this question,
and haye lost all fear, that even a radi-
cal policy that would wipe out all pro-
tection, would either’ injure them or
the country.
For this situation and feeling the
Republican press is alone responsible.
If it wakens up some day and finds
the American public clamoriag for
free trade, and arrayed against protec-
tion, either incidental or otherwise, it
can claim for itself the credit of educa:
ting that public to believe that reduc:
ing unnecessary taxation, was enforc-
ing free trade, and that lessening the
prices of the necessaries of lite, was a
policy bought with “British gold.”

—Is Quax’s memory failing ? Sure
ly he has not forgotten that the Phila-
delphia city Treasury is not now avail-
able, that BARDSLEY 1s in the peniten-
tiary, and that the Keystone bank is

Timely Warning.
It will be a long time, we imagine,
before Chicago gets another Democrat-.
ic National Convention. It should be
a long time before it gets another Con
vention of any kind, unless the fools of
the country conclude 10 hold a conclave
of some kind or other, vhen there will
be no question that the proper place
for them to meet will be in Chicago.

tant hotel bills for most inferior hotel.

As a finger board pointiug to the

action of the hotel-keepers of that city
during therecent Convention, may serve

an
While we do not feel that it is either
politic or ‘politically’ profitable to count
t00 much on the professions of Repub-
licans: who are declaring themselves
for CreveELAND and the Democratic
ticket, it is at least a hopeful and en-
couraging sign to know that all over
the country, good and influential men
are severing their connection with the
Republican organization and are tak-
ing: the stump for tariff reform and
the freedom of elections.
So decided "is public sentiment in
Kansas, against a.continuation of Har:
'RIsoN rule; that ex-Senator INGALLS,
declares it impossible for him to carry
that State, and warns his Republican
friends, that if they would succeed,
they must do it without its electoral
vote. !
. TrurstoN, of Nebraska, who led
the Republican, delegation at Minne:
apolis and who has been the ' recogniz:
ced head of the party in his State for
years, sorrowfully admits that the high
tariff and force bill policy of the pres-
eat administration has so demoralized
Republicanism in Nebraska, that the
chaaces are more than even that the
party will loose that State at the com-
ing election, :
Wovroorr, who is the present United
‘States Senator and Republican mouth
peice, for his party, from Colorado,
declares that there is no chance or
bope of HARRISON carrying that state,
and that while it will not give jts elec-
nees, it is justas certain to withhold
them from ‘the Republican candidates.
From other parts of the country,
news of Republican workers, announe-
ing themselves for the Democratic can-
.didates, comes with unexpected rapidi-
ty and in ‘unlooked for numbers.
In a single town in Connecticut—
| Wausegan—five of the heretofore most
adtive Republican workers, J. THoMAS
Sarre, JouN MoStay, Isaac WHiITE-
HEAD, Rost BLy and Samuer CoLLins,
have come out openly and are working
for CLEVELAND. In this same town
40 Republicans have joined the Demo-
cratic club that organized on Saturday
night last. In Putnam N. W, Kgn-
| NEDY, & former active Republican is
making speeches for CLEVELAND and
in Plainfield, in the same State, F. F.

In Logansport, on Saturday night, Dr.
J. H. BaxTA, a well known and lead-
ing Republican, attended the Demo-
cratic ratification meeting and made a
rattling speech declaring his purpose
to not only vote but to work earnestly
for the success of the Democratic
ticket. At Worthington, Dr. H. H.
McCaBE, a life long Republican, who
made ‘a vigorous canvass for Harrison
four years ago, announced his deser-
tion . from the Republican party. He
denounced the Force bill and said that
the war ended with Ler's surrender.
At Covington, one of the features of
the evening was a forcible and eloquent
speech by J. A. STONE, a colored man
from Missouri, who is a student in a
college there, in which he set forth
the reasons why he had deserted the
Republican party; and one by C., M.

From the Port Allegheny Reporter, . ;.

has faithfully executed all its policies’.
‘Yes, that’s what is the matter with Mr.
Harrison. That is why he has richly

ed the Republican policy of squandering
the surplus, voting subsidies, increasing
taxes at home and ‘removing them
abroad. - He has faithfully executed its
policy of looting the public service for

tives, friends and supporters. He' has
faithfully executed its policy of 'protect-
ing its rascals and rewarding its corrup-

of the ‘plan to pass a force bill. ‘Mr.

yy HR AS FEST TG,
Only Sins by Proxy.
.From the 8t. Louis Post-Dispatch,
The President is a good man an elder.
He will not -do wrong unless itis abso-
lutely necessary to save a righteous
cause, Because of this necessity he em-
ployed his friend Dudley to divide the
floaters in blocks of five and instruct
them touching their duties as citizens.
But Dudley is no longer his friend,
while the necessity is greater than ever.
Indiana is more doubtful than ‘in 1888,
because notwithstanding his good ‘in-
tentions the ‘President has created a
large number of individual disappoint-
ments, If righteousness needed thejsup-
port of crime ‘then it needs'it in still
| greater degree in 1892. «The situation
is very perplexing.
An Insolvent Policy.
From the Louisville Courier-J. curt
The news from Washington shows
that with the retirement ‘of Mr. Blaine
from the Cabinet the President has
abandoned reciprocity and substituted
relation. In so far as reciprocity isa
success it is a surrender of protection ;
in the day of its collapse the American
people are asked to substitute tor it re-
taliation, and to declare commercial
warfare against the best customers of the
American farmers. Fora man of busi-
ness to adopt such a policy would mean
bankruptey. «If Mr, Harrison is per-
mitted to pursue this policy unchecked
it will assuredly drive our people to na-
tional bankruptey. :
Taxation Enslaves.
From the Des Moines Leader.
Taxation, now as ever, enslaves the
people. It is freedom, not - protection,
they want, The enemies within our
gates are those who need the most
watching: ‘Protection’ has ever been
the shibboleth of the oppressor. But his
protection is of the same kind the stock-
raiser gives his hogs. “Get off our backs
and leave us alone,” is the cry of the
people to-day: And the people will be
eard.
