Quay announced that the G. O. P.
had made up an “honesty fund” of $25,
000 which was to be paid to those who
caused the arrest and conviction of iile-
gal voters in New York. Two thousand
dollars were to be given for the first con-
viction, $1,000 for the second, $500 for
the third and $250 for each succeeding
conviction nntil the $25,000 was used op.
It is now in order for Colonel Qaay to

AMERICAN WORKMEN AHEAD.
REASONS WHY.
Some tables we print in this issue pre-
pared by Consul Schoenhof may be stud-
jes are in the mill or the library. They
show the reasons why wages are high in
America and low in Europe; that it is
not a question of tariffs, but of the pros
ductive power of the workman, Wages
are higher because the daily product of
the American workman exceeds that of
his brother workman across the water 50,
75 and 100 per cent. This has been con
ceded in official statements made by
Blaine and Evarts when as secretary of
state they were called on for a report to
congress on the wage question,

the cotton goods trade of the world
If the duty were taken off raw wool,
rather than increased from the present
high rates, as proposed by the senate
bill, our manufactarers could send their
carpets all over the world; and instead
of importing, ae we did last year for our
own consumption, $50,000000 of manu-
factured woolens, American enterprise,
capital and labor would soon meet the
demand by manufacturing these woolen
fabrics at home, benefiting the wool
grower, the manufaciurer, labor and the
consumer. The facts as to cotton goods,
as to boots and shoes, as to silk, as to
steel rails, are given in Mr. Schoenhof's
tables. They all tell the same story.
They all show that the workingmen have
nothing to lose and much to gain from a
reform and reduction of the tariff.
i PIA ANS
DEARER CLOTHING,
The republican senate tariff bill pro-
poses an increase in the daties on the
cheaper kind of woolen fabrics and
clothing. On some of the lower grades
of cloth, such as are commonly wora by
workingmen, it proposes a tariff tax of
132 per cent,
This high daty is in the interest of the
manufacturer of shoddy which the re
publican senators seem to regard as quite
good enough for the workingman, The
duties on knit woolen goods proposed
in the republican senate tariff bill bave
also been increased enormously. While
the Mills bill makes raw wool free it fix-
es the duty on manufactored woolens
at 40 per cent., thus aiming to help the
domestic manufacturer while relieving
the great mass of the people from the
necessity of wearing shoddy and paying
twice as much for it as it is worth.
It is for the working people to make
their choice between these two tariff
policies. A vote for Harrison is a vote
for dearer and poorer clothing. A vole
for Cleveland is a vote for cheaper and
better clothing.
li
In Pennsylvania there is at this time
about half a sheep per head to the popu
lation of the State; and to protect this
bit of mutton the workingman will be
taxed on his clothing and that of his
family, st a rate ranging from 60 to 148
per cent. under the senate bill. But theo,
he is to get cheaper whiskey and tobsc-
co. Thesli-the-morality party guaran:

THE DOUBTFUL STATES.
A consideration of the canvass shows
that Conve ticut and New Jersey have
almost ceased to be considered doub tfal
Ktates; that Michigan and California are
exceedingly doubtful Republican States;
that Virginia and West Virginia are
claimed by the Republicans and that an
unprecedented bitter contest is going on
in Indiana aud New York, where the
signs favor the success of Cleve'and and
Thurman, but where every effort is bes
ing put forth by the Republican party to
oarry them.
The situation as shown by the dispats
ches is decidedly favorable to Clevelana
and Tnurman. None of the States car
ried by Cleveland and Hendricks four
years ago are seriously threatened, ex-
cept Indiana and New York. Inthese
two States Democracy has the prestige
of almost unvarying success in State and
national elections for a puamber of years
past. The chances that Harrison will

POWDERLY AND THE TARIFF.
Mr. Powderly is a logical protectionist.
He has “never bought a single article
made across the ocean,” and
believe in foreign trade. But
no stock in the absurd idea that high
tariffs make high wages, “If
for labor organizations,” he says “there
would be no protection for the man who
works” All intelligent
know this to be true.
- —— -
WHOGQGET SIT?
The tariff on a ton of steel rails is §17.
The labor cost of that ton is about §3.50
Now how much does labor get of that §17
tariff 7
Then the ton of rails sells from $45 to
$65. Now who gets that additional pro-
fit? Say, who gets it ?

The laugh comes in nicely on Quay.
He tried to show off honest by offering
25,000 reward in different sums for con.
viction of frandulent regisiration of vot
ers. The first case tried and convicted
was that of a rank Republican and Quay
had to plank down $2000 reward. Hie
ory of “stop thief” wasn't a success
New York Democrats are quiet toosharp
for little fellows like Quay.
The Daily News asserts that the labor
cost of a ton of steel rails is $30, If the
News can prove that, the Quay crowd
will esteem it as the most fortunate hit
of the campaign and hit Ball Mills quite
bard. The News is snitzing, however.

Free trade means no tari at all, The
