Self-Protection for Labor.
Everybody knows, said the impressive
Mr. McKinley, discoursing to.a delegation
of wage workers, that a Republican Con-
gress and a Republican administration will
enact such a tariff law as shall protect ade-
quately American labor.
There was a time that the American work-
ing man was visibly impressed by promises
of this sort. But thirty years of protection,
unaccompanied by any rise in wages trace-
able to the tariff, has been for him a liber-
al education. He has seen, too, that the
lowest wages paid are those paid in the
protected industries ; that the men most
active in importing alien labor to depress
the wages and lower the standard of living
of the American workingman are the very
ones who go to Washington to plead for
more and higher protection, that the digni-
ty of American labor may be maintained.
The wage worker in the United States
has learned, if he be observant and
thoughtful, that the protection he needs is
self-protection. In proportion as his fel-
low-workers in any trade are organized,
their wages have been increased or main-
tained at reasonable figures. No amount
of tariff protection has succeeded in keep-
ing wages up when the employers were
able to break the power of the organization.
Mr. Andrew Carnegie, one of the most
loquacious prophets of the theory of pro-
tecting labor by taxing consumers, has giv-
en also the most conspicuous example of an
employer’s denial to labor of the right to
protect itself.
Behind McKinley stand all the men of
the Carnegie type. Henry C. Payne, his
Western manager, was one of the receivers
of the Northern Pacific Railway, and help-
ed to force the strike which Debs won and
from which grew the American Railway
Union. As president of a Milwaukee street
railway to-day he .is opposing a strike
which is approved by a vast majority of the
citizens. It is his policy to depy to the
employees the right to combine in unions,
to deny to then, in short, the right of self-
protection.
The record of Mark Hanna as a foe to or-
ganized labor is widely notorious. As a
member of the execrable Spring Valley
Coal Company, he took part in that syste-
matic effort for the crushing and spoilation
of his employes which was widely con-
demned throughout the middle West as a
‘strike of millionaires against miners.”
Never did the extortions of the company or
‘‘pluck me’’ store have such glaring illus-
tration as at Spring Valley. Never was
the fraud of selling lots to miners on par-
tial payments, and then closing the mines
so that the unfortunate purchasers lost both
their homes and the money paid for them,
so remorselessly practiced. To no other
spot in these United States has degraded
and pauperized labor from Southern Eu-
rope been imported so largely to oust
Americans from their places. © To-day
Spring Valley, for its memories, is a stench
in the nostrils of the people of Illinois, and
because of its hordes of Huns and Slavs a
constant menace to the peace of the State.
When men of the type most dangerous to
the prosperity and the dignity of American
labor stand as McKinley’s sponsors and
political managers it is idle to regard his
protestations of affection for the working-
man as other than mere political bun-
combe. The ancient saying, ‘‘A man is
known by the company he keeps,”” is of
positive application in this campaign.—N.

Favor Bryan and Sewall.
Planetary Influence, Says an Astrologer, Indicate
Their Election.
The planets are for Bryan and Sewall’s
election by a tremendous majority. The
celestial constellation of Libra (the scales)
which represents the Goddess of Justice,
was rising at the time the nomination was
made. Libra is an rial, sanguine, hot,
moist, equinox, cardinal, movable, diurnal
masculine, humane and western sign—the
day house of Venus, the Goddess of Love.
Venus, the ruling planet, was in conjunc-
tion with thesun and moon, exalted by po-
sition, aspect and house ; was posited in
the mansion of dignity and honor and pre-
ferment in the constellation of Cancer, a
cardinal and movable sign ; the houses of
the moon and the sun were in reception
and conjunction, which is a good aspect,
while Jupiter, the planet of wealth, was
received by the sun in house and triplicity.
The position of the planets denotes that
they could not possibly be better for the
success of the party, and altogether favora-
ble to the brightest outlook, while the
Republican nominees denote nothing but
disaster and defeat to the party, and there
will be nothing but wreckage left after the
storm of battle is over. According to the
planets, the success does not only mean a
party success, for the whole country, which
means prosperity not only toa few, but
prosperity to all the land, a freedom which
cannot be expressed in feeling by any one
at this present time of human slavery, and
volumes could be written for the future
welfare of this country through the coming
new Democratic victory.

Called a Republican Bluff.
A Boston Bryan Club Accepts an Offer to Pay Ex-
penses of Debs, Coxey, Altgeld, and Tillman in
Massachusetts.
BosToN, Aug. 15.—The Bryan-Sewall-
Williams Club issued the following self-
explanatory open letter to Congressman
William E. Barret this afternoon :
Dear Sir—You suggest in an editorial in
your edition of the Record Friday, August
14, that Messers Debs, Coxey, Altgeld and
Tillman be brought into the State to ad-
dress political meetings, and you say,
without qualification or condition, that the
Republican State Committee will pay their
expenses. The Bryan-Sewall-Williams
Club of Massachusetts, assuming that you,
the editor of a leading Republican news-
paper, speak with authority, and that the
officers of the State Republican State Com-
mittee will support you in the assertion
you make, accepts your offer.
Two of the men you name are Populists
and two are Democrats, and while perhaps
we assume authority in speaking for the
Populist representatives, we would be glad
to have all of those named appear before
the people of Massachusetts.
We are aware that a hostile and unjust
press has created false impressions of all
these men in the minds of many honest
Massachusetts citizens, and we deem it fair
and desirable that our people may have an
opportunity to meet them and judge them
face to face. While # is our purpose, in
accepting this offer, to secure a fair hearing
for maligned men, two of whom are Gov-
ernors of great States of our Union, they
‘are but a part of the personnel of our great
cause, just as Mr. Hanna, of Cleveland ;
Mr. Armour, of Chicago; Mr. Payne, of
Milwaukee, and the Whitneys, of Boston
and New York, are not the sole representa-
tives of the Republican party.
English Money to Buy Ameri¢an Votes.
A good subject for a guessing match would be,
“How much British gold will find its way ‘into
Hanna's campsign fund 2"—Wheeling Register,
The answer to this is found in the fol-
lowing from the Washington Post :
“When in London recently,” said Hon.
Thomas F. Lane of New Jersey at the Nor-
mandie, “I learned from a gentleman of un-
‘questioned reliability that English bankers
and capitalists were subsgribing money free-
ly to the Republican campaign fund in this
country in order to help elect McKinley.
My informant was an Englishman, and the
statement was not made on heresay. He
said that the class of people who were thus
aiding the Republican candidate were men of
means. They were more interested in our
approaching election than if it were coming
off in Great Britain, and the pros and cons of
the silver question were debated with as
much heat in the British metropolis as in
New York.

Last Sunday evening, in the Lutheran
church, Rev. Reitzel, of Chicago, delivered a
scholarly lecture entiled ‘Who are the Ar-
menians.”” The house was full notwith-
standing the campmeeting and those who
were fortunate enough to be present were
greatly pleased. He is a graduate of Yale
and has traveled extensively in Jerusalem,
Palestine, Egypt, Assyria and Europe. He
is a congregational minister, a Republican,
and is a personal friend of Rev. Mumma.
He possesses considerable eloquence, a good
command of language and an extensive
knowledge of history. Several of his no-
ticeable statements were ‘‘the Methodists are
nothing if not patriotic. They are asnumer-
ous as the sands of the sea.”” ‘‘The Presby-
terians are noted for their strength, purity
and loftiness.”’” ‘‘Armenia is the water mel-
on patch of nation and the Armenians the
star actors of the European drama of his-
tory.”
