SILAS L. DRAKE, t 1 i flTIJ I TM W T A VI F? Job Printing 29, 1874. TO THE WORKINGMEN SYLVANIA. OF PENN- Letter from an Ironworker to the Chair-1 man of tha Union Republican State Central Committee. Kcssrll Eruett, Esq. Dear Sir : In the iron manufacture, which is the j most important business of our State, there is great depression, and we can not look for ;rood times till it revives, for all other business interests depend upon it. It em ploys the miners by consuming ores and creating a demand for fuel, it freights cur railroads, and makes a market for farm pro duets. The workmen in cur mines and mills and furnaces are the chief consumers of domestic goods, and it is because thev are unemployed and unable to buy that our woolen and cotton lactones have re duced time of work, cut down wages, and topped production. This again reacts dis astrously upon the coal trades, upon the railroads, the manufacturers of chemicals and dye stuffs, and upon all other indus tries. When wages in the iron trade arc high and work plentiful, every other business is prosperous, and this is true not only of our own State but also of the whole count rv. The financial panic of September, 187.", crippled or stopped the railroad and other enterprises which consume iron, and the result was a general paralysis ot business. We should have recovered from it before this if there was no foreign intei fence with our industries, if the home market was re served, as it should be, fur the labor of our own people. Our chief trouble is that in England there has been such a great reduction in the wages of miners and of workmen in iron and other industries, and such an im mense decline in the prices of Eng'idi goods, that, during the past year we have had a constantly 1'aliing market, which bus forced successive reductions of prices and wanes here, and has made buvers hold oil' and wait until the bottom would be reach ed. I think that this point has been reached, and that demand will spring up, and our labor will be employed again with a gradual increase of wages if we can re tain the duties upon foreign goods enacted by a Republican Congress for the protec tion of home industry. It is enough to take merely one or two items from our tariff laws, to show how important they are to us at this time, and what a calamity their repeal would be to the country. ("3 Articles. 3 35 o Pig Iron. Iron Rail Rar Iron. Steel Raih IS2C toS:W. $21 to $27. I ?-" I S37..10. SI 2.00 net. :$n0to$07. S-")2..r)0 ;S2()J to $301 o. S-iStoSGO. You can easily see that bad as our situ ation is it might be mad worse. Repeal the duties and it would be hopeless. They are a strong dyke, a wall, which the Re publican party has built up around the in dustries of tho country to keep out the overwhelming flood of cheap foreign goods. While it stands we can not be destroyed. The Democratic party has determined to break down this wall, and we are asked to help them by voting to put tluni in power. In their State conventions of this year, as in past years, they have denounced protec tion and demanded a tariff for revenue only, or declared in favor of Free Trade. In Pennsylvania only they are silent. The know that our mines have stopped, that our rolling mills have suspended, that fur naces are out of blast, that factories are idle, and that thousands of unemployed workingmeu look forward to the coming winter with the fear of suffering for them selves and their families, and they know, too, that their party from Maine to Mis souri have united to destroy the tariff which is our sole protection against utter ruin yet they make no protest, they have no word to say in our defense their platform is ominously silent on this most important subject. They intend to vote on national questions with the Maine Democrats who say in their resolutions, "A protective tariff is a most unjust, unequal, oppressive and wasteful mode of raising the public revenues. It is one of the most ju'egnant and fruitful sources of the corruptions of administration. We, therefore, the Democracy of Maine, in con vention assembled, th vbu c fur Fu e Trade, and in favor of an unfettered and unre stricted commerce." They indorse the platform of the Mis souri Democracy which declares that, "We denounce (he resent tariff as hav ing been concocted alone in the interests of Eastern mamsf.cturers, and in lieu of it we demand a tariff for revenue only that will be just to all sections of the country." They sustain and will labor with the Democracy of Illinois who declare in favor "Free commerce, and no tariff except for revenue purposes." They are in accord with the Ohio Demo crats who say in their platform, We are opposed to the unjust and op pressive features id' the existing tariff laws, and insist on their repeal or modification, so that a revenue tariff shall be substituted for them." A sentiment indorsed by the Pittsburgh Post, the leading Democratic newspaper of our State, which says, the Ohio platform thoroughly embraces the Democratic idea." The Democratic party of the nation NO. 23. 1 JWi-tJi.'. threatens to strike the workingman a fatal blow, aud he will look in vain for any aid to the cowardly and treacherous Demo cratic party of Pennsylvania. His only1 hope for the future lies in the maintenance of that liberal policy of protection to home industry which was enacted, and is sus tained, bv the party which saved and now governs the country. The Republican party speaks with ntf doubtful voice to the workingmen of the Keystone State. It favors "just protect tion and reward to every branch of indus try, and of giving permanence to those measures which recognize agricultural, mining, manufacturing, and mechanical pursuits, i-ntit'ud to t.'tc anrpbst protec ti'in and fuHrst di a fujfait." ' It de--dares that '-The paralyisis of business which has fallen upon the manufacturing industry of the country within the past year, is a fresh evidence of the necessary of flint pro tection to our aunt nfnt iirliiy Infrrtsts for which the Republicans of Pennsylvania have always fought." I would sav to the workincrmcn of Penrf sylvania, the choice is placed before you of sustaining and voting for your friends or your foes. If you want to keep business unsettled and disturbed, and knock down prices and wages still lower, vote tho Democratic ticket. If you want to still further depress anol ruin home industry, vote the Democratic. ticket. If you want to close our own wovk.hip and enrich foreiirn manufacturers, vote the Democrat ie ticket. If you love Great Britian more than you do your own land and its people, vote the Democratic ticket. We have to pay the interest on the na- tional debt and the expenses of the national Government, amounting to an immense sum of money annually, whkh must be raised in good part, as at present, by duties, or wholly by direct taxation. If, like the Maine Democrats, you object to having this money collected at the New York custon housj from duties on German broadcloth, English iron and steel, and French silks, and would prefer to have a United States tax levied on your house and lot or other property vote the Democratic ticket. I have used the duties on iron .and steel to i, lust rate the worth of the tariff tons, and it is not less valuable as a defense to our other industries. Without the ad va lorou duty of sixty per cent, on silks, of thirty to forty-five per cent, on carpets, of thirty-five to forty-five per cent, on cloth ing, and the protective specific and ad va lorem duties on all cotton and Woolen goods, our American workingmen in these indus tries sit down in idleness, and the future would be without hope. This is what the Democratic party, in its love for Free Trade, is striving to accomplish. The s' niggle docs not concern Pennsylvania ah ne ; it is of moment to the whole coun try. In defending our own interests, we are discharging a patriotic duty, for the full and profitable employment of its own labor and the ample protection and develop ment of its own industries can alone make our nation prosperous and its citizens a united and happy people. Very Respectfully, Joshua Hunt. Catasauqua, Lehigh county, -A- J Pa., j October la, 1S7 1. STATE FINANCES. The Republican and Democratic Record Under the last Democratic Administra tion of the State, all the proceeds ot taxa tion were expended and Sb500,000 more were abstracted from the Sinking Funds. Under the present Republican Administra tion this Deficiency has been made good, and $l.",0UO,00U actually placed in the Sinking Funds. Under the last Democratic Administra tion, the average yearly expenditure for general purposes was $7,loD.C33.SG. Un der Republican Administration, it has been SrhOL-O,") -17.H0 a saving of over $1,000, 000 every year. Under the last Democratic Administra tion the cost of collecting the tolls and keeping the canals in repair increased from 81, -78,507,") '1 as it had been under Re publican rule, to $2,250,1 1."). 02 a year. Under the present Republican Administra tion it has been reduced again to $1,459,-164.2-1 a saving of $800,000 a year. Under the last Democratic Administra tion, the annual appropriations for sectarian charities reached about $1,000,000. Under the present Republican Administration these appropriations have been entirely stopped a saving of $1,000,000 a year. tinder the last Democratic Administra tion, the running expenses of the Legisla ture amounted to $ 122,450.01 a year. Un der the present Republican Legislature, they have been reduced to $200,5 IO.08 a saving of $155,Jol .03 a year. Under the last Democratic Administra tion, in its last year, the Comptroller was compelled to borrow more than $2, 000,000, besides all the proceeds of Illa tion, to meet the actual running expenses of the Government. Under the present Republican Administration, there is n. borrowing ; on the contrary, it lias paid all expenses and laid up $15,000,000, to pro vide for the debt of the State. In view of such facts, every one of which is taken from the official records, the people can understand how it was that the Democratic Admistration robbed the Sinking Funds of six and a half Millions, and how it is that, by its economy and honesty, the Republican Administration has been able to bring these funds up to on j aggregate of more than fifteen millions. moderate.
