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.

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.

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.
