MANY of the congressmen who bail from rival cities are trying their best to throw cold water upon the world's fair, fearing that Chicago will achieve too much glory from the success of the ex position. These men are too small to understand that whatever honors the Windy City can reap from the fair will reflect untold credit to the nation, and the slightest indication of failure will make every American ashamed of him self. It is not a local affair that belongs solely to Chicago. It is national in its scope and deserves the aid of the nation, if any aid is necessary. THE Democratic forces of the country have a marshal this year who will lead them to victory without a doubt. Wil liam F. Harrity has taken charge of the campaign after a full and complete con sideration of the work expected and re quired, and that he will inaugurate an intelligent, educational and aggressive light may he relied upon. Unlike the Republican chairman, he has no factions to contend with. His whole time can be spent in directing his work, instead of healing dissensions and dissatisfied cliques. The Democrats every when are united upon every national issue, and with Harrity at the helm it is im possible to predict anything but a sweep ing victory. THE Philadelphia I're* views with apparent satisfaction a reported "break" in the Democracy of Green conntv, this state, where, it is said, a few wool growers are disgruntled because the party platform favors free wool. It if really too bad that the interests of a handful of protectionists were not given consideration in the national conven tion, but as the doors of the G. O. P. are wide open for all such people they should make haste and identify them selves with the party which taxes mil lions for the benefit of a few hundred The Democratic platform demands free wool and lots of other free things, and those who don't like it should send in their resignation without further delay. IF the treatment accorded Private lams, of the Tenth regiment, by his lieutenant colonel, and approved of by General Snowden, is to he continued il is safe to say that there will be more anarchists after the Homestead trouble is ended than ever before. lams, upon the impulse of the moment, proposed three cheers for Frick's assailant when he heard of the shooting. For doing I this he was reprimanded, hung up by the thumbs for half an hour, had oni side of his head shaven clean, deprived of his uniform, dishonorably discharged from the National Guard, disfranchised and drummed out of camp. That lams did wrong must be acknowledged by all, but the same must be said of his officious superior officers, and the dudish com mander. Men are not made better by subjecting them to humiliating treatment lams was given, and such "examples," as Snowden calls them, do more to de velope the spirit of mutiny and insubor dination than any number of cheers for Berkman. McKlnlpylmn and WugrH. It takes ten columns of space in the New York World to recapitulate all the strikes which have occurred in protect ed industries in this country since the McKinley law went into effect. The magnitude of the list is astounding, . ven to those who have long been convinced that "protection" protects capital in its aggressions on labor. Sixteen days aftef the act went into effect 1,200 iron miners at Dayton, Tenn., struck against a reduction of wages. That was the first, and it has been followed by no fewer than 473 strikes against a reduction of wages under the operation of the McKinley tariff iniquity. As the WorUl expresses it, there "has been no instance of time since the Mc- Kinley tariff act went into effect that there has not been in progress, some where within the United States, a strike against a proposed reduction of wages in some protected industry." THE FRUITS OF PROTECTION, Carnegie's Millions Multiply, but Ills Men Must Take Beggary or the Bullet. "By their fruits shall ye know them!" Behold the fruits of protection! Writ large in letters of human blood, in the flames of burning oil, in the smoke of exploding dynamite, is the declaration that tho Republican doctrine of "pro tection for the benefit of the American laborer" is a lie, a mocking falsehood by which labor is made to prey upon its own vitals. The Homestead works are controlled by Andrew Carnegie, the twenty mil lionaire, the apostle of high protection, the beneficiary of the McKinley bill, the munificieut contributor to the Repub lican campaign funds, the dear friend of President Harrison, who cabled con gratulations from his Scotch castle after the Minneapolis convention. "Protec tion for the American lnl>orer" gave him kingly riches—it has given his laborers reduced wages and the bullets of mer cenary troops. In a time of manufacturing prosperity and with a prohibitive tariff to bar out foreign competition, Mr. Andrew Car negie made a sweeping cut in the wages of his thousands of workmen. They struck for living wages and refused to allow men to supplant them. He hired Pinkerton troops, armed with Winches ter rifles, to reduce them to subjection. The Pinkertons fired upon the workmen and their fire was desj>erately returned. A battle ensued and the hireling troops surrendered. That is the Btory to this writing. The moral is that protection does not protect the laborer. The manufacturer receives, by government decree, tribute from all consumers, his lal>orer includ ed. But the laborer is still dependent upon his employer for any share in the bounty ordained and enforced l>y the government upon the pretext tJifct it is for his benefit only. Carnegie's millions multiply, but his inen are made to choose between beggary and the bullet.—Co lumbia (S. C.) State. A Dreary ProNpect. The negro had at least the prospect of a quiet old age and a peaceful death be fore him. The white slave of today sees looming up before his eyes visions of a different character. He sees a poor house and the potter's field in the vista of the future, with the spital and the jail aa halfway houses between. His life is a constant trouble to keep his earnings above the starvation i>oint, and the prospect before him and those de pendent upon him is us bleak and hope less as the joyless past.—Chicago Globe. It Suit* Carnegie, Carnegie, for example, with his forty millions and his baronial hall in Scot land, has been benefited by high taxes, but his workmen have had to struggle to get wages enough to keep the wolf from the door; and his case is not an is olated one, though perhapß it is one of the most conspicuous. We would ex pect him to be a high tax man.—Seattle (Wash.) Telegram. This Is a Democratic Year. In presidential contests this state went Republican in 1804, Democratic in 1808, Republican in 1872, Democratic in 1870, Republican in 1880, Democratic in 1884, Republican in 1888, and this is the year for another Democratic inning. —Buffalo Courier. lie VYlua ut 11..Hi KIUIH. Having hail cheap foreign labor locked out to secure high prices, Carnegie is now locking out American working men to get cheap foreign labor. He thus makes protection cut both ways for his fat pocketbook.—St. Louis Post-Dis patch. Why Doesn't lie I'ity Ills Men? If Andrew Carnegie can contribute to election corruption funds and hire an army of Pinkertous, why is he not able to pay his workmen tho wages promised them by the high tariff people?— Loui sville Courier-Journal. l>ilt It Cp Still Higher. Our present tariff was adjusted to raise wages. It was followed by cuts in tho carpel and woolen mills and by a labor crisis in the iron region. Evident ly it was not made high enough.—Kan sas City Times. Protecting IIIn Friends. The seizure of sealing vessels in Behr ing sea has begun again. Tho ground floor rights of Mr. Steve Elkins' seal skinning friends must be protected at all hazards.—St. Louis Republic. Fighting Shy of Responsibility. Republican leaders are not inclined to accept tho office of manager of the cam paign, which involves responsibility for Mr. Harrison's defeat in November.— St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A Significant Contrast. The embattled workmen of Pittsburg carried the stars and stripes, while Andrew Carnegie reposed l>eneath the red cross of England.—Louisville Cour ier-Journal. Any Kind of WURCS. Even "free trade wages" would suit the locked out employees of the protect ed iron and steel mills.—Chicago Her ald. We'll ltout the G. O. I' [Tune— "Marching Through Georgia."] With ('lcveland and Stevenson, now listen what I say, We're Imund to sweep the country on next elec- tion day; We're sure to win, in spite of tin, Tom Piatt or Matt Quay, We'll rout the G. O. P. in next November. Hooray, hooray, we'll shout our buttle cry, Hooray, hooray for Grover and Adlui; We'll put thein in the White House, then wont Benny sigh. We'll rout tho G. O.

We'll rout the G. O. P. in next Novemtier. — flow York World. Thinking Men versus Floaters. This campaign will be peculiar. The Republicans will work among the float ers, to whom they will dispense the boodle. A political fight is, according to high Republican authority, "largely a matter of finance." The Democrats propose to appeal to thinking men of all parties and rest their case on principle ratlief than on pelf. If there are more thinking men who are in doubt than there are floaters who are need, the Democrats will probably win. The ar guments of McKinley and other protec tionist orators are not calculated to in spire respect. They will have littlo or no effect upon the mass of thoughtful voters. The issue is narrowed—it is chiefly a question of the relative influ ence of brain and boodle.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The "lteductlo ad Absurdiim. A cheap coat, according to Mr. Har rison, makes a cheap man. Protection, according to the Republican theory, makes cheap coats. Ergo, protection makes cheap men. Here is a syllogism, the major premise and the minor prem ise of which being admitted, the conclu sion is inevitable. But the Republican party believes in making cheap men in order that the protected monopoly barons in whose interest they would run the government may lie afforded opportu nities to grow richer.—Houston Post. Words of Wisdom, Every interference with trade is a check on the wheels of progress. He who tunnels a mountain, bridges a river, or in any way removes any impediment to the freest intercourse between people is a public benefactor. And be who in any way puts up a barrier to commerce is n public enemy. The people are be ginning to see this, and when they do see it in its fullness they will bury the opponents of a tariff for revenue only so deep that there will never be a resur rection.— Des Moines Leader. A Shameful Proceeding. It looks as if the first step was taken toward a coup d'etat such as the presi dent of the French republic in 1848 re sorted to when he proclaimed the em pire, and mounted to the throne of dominion for an indefinite period, when President Harrison, through his sub alterns and the African legions in the southern states, shamefully constituted the convention called to ratify his acts, the force bill included, and insured his renomination.—Lynchburg American. Let Theiu Have the l'aettt. The presses of the government print ing office in Washington could not be put to better use than in spreading in formation as to the true inwardness of the revolutionary force hill which the Afinneapolis convention promises that the Republican party will enact if it is given the chance. The people of this country are profoundly interested in politics just now. Let them have all the facts, fully and accurately.—St. Louis Republic. It Must He Kusy Indeed, The Republicans are already raising the cry that General Harrison is "a sol dier who has never known defeat." A presidential campaign in which the Re publican party did not depend largely on a sentimental appeal to the war spirit would be a novelty indeed. How easy it is to arouse military enthusiasm in this country is shown by tho fact that Ben Harrison expects to run partly on his military record.—Chicago Herald. He Doesn't Regard Etlilca. The revelation that the newly appoint ed secretary of state has until lately been acting as confidential attorney for various foreign powers in matters in volving claims against the government may not affect the legality of his ap pointment, but it would seem to raise a question of official ethics not altogether undeserving the president's attention.— Philadelphia Record. War oil ltlalne. Secretary Foster has removed Mrs. Cynthia Smith, a relative of Mr. Blaine, from a little clerkship in the sixth audit or's office. It seems that the adminis tration's hatred of Blaine continues even now, after he is a private citizen. But it is rather mean politics to make n poorly paid woman a victim of its hatred. —Boston Herald. 'Alwuyn Trust the People. Ex-Secretary Whitney declares that "you can always trust the people." This is' the bottom fact on which Democracy rests. There is reason to believe that this year the Democratic party more nearly than at any time since its early days will represent true Democracy.— St. Louis Post-Disputch. Piatt's Echo Speaks. The Hon. Jacob Sloat Fassett an nounces his willingness and reudiness to take off his coat for President Harrison. The Hon. Jacob took off his coat once before and he now addresses Roswell P. Flower as "governor."—Chicago Mail. I.lmited to the Proprietors. It is probably called the "Carnegie Steel Company, Limited," because the bounties enjoyed under the McKinley act are limited to the proprietors.—New York World. The Usual Way. The Republican senate has done noth ing at this session except smother anti trust bills and insist on larger appro priations.—St. Louis Republic. Time Indeed. When mines close, miners are refused work and coal goes up it is time for the goddess of liberty to put on her thinking cap.—New York Herald. The Fruits of Protection. The tidings from Pennsylvania go to show that there's no place like Home stead. —Boston Herald. Workshop Campaign Headquarters. The only workshop campaign head quarters is Carnegie's.— UticaObserver. WHAT OF THE WORKINGMEN? There Is No Poftgible Way of Protecting Labor from Competition. But what of the workingmen? How are they protected? Mr. Carnegie knows how to protect himself. He does it by having the duty on his products made so high that none can come into the country to compete with him and break down his prices of anything that he has to sell. The laborer has nothing to sell but his labor; how is that protected? Is labor shut out by any law? Here are the fig ures of four 3*ears, showing the number of immigrants: 188 6W.889 188 444,427 189 455.3112 189 580,319 Total 2,000,937 This is an average of half a million annually, and in this great army of im migrants in search of work the great mills and factories find men to take the places of strikers. There is no possible way of protecting labor from competition. It finds it on all sides. Every new machine competes with labor; every immigrant bears the labor market. The great law of supply and demand fixes the price of labor, fixes the labor schedule. Why should the laborer, unprotected and helpless, vote to protect the capital of his em ployer? Why should he vote to keep up the price of what he has to buy when ho sees and knows that it is impossible for the same law to protect him in the only thing he has to sell?— Louisville Courier-Journal. The Tariff Enlightening the World. The infamous tariff declares war on American labor.—Chicago Herald. Tliey Don't Want a Fair Vote. A respectable campaign by the Re publicans means a losing campaign. There are more Democratic voters than Republican voters, and if the fat is not fried out, if the blocks of five campaign ing is not practiced, there will be no chance for them to win. That is the reason why the Republicans have al ways and everywhere opposed the Aus tralian ballot system, or any system to promote purity of the ballot, and to pro pose instead the force bill.—Wilmington (Del.) Evening Journal. The G. O. P. In a Iliul Way. The Republican party seems to be on the road to smash. It cannot get a campaign manager. It has lost Blaine its strongest man, and a lot of its best fighters, like Quay, Clarkson et al. It has suffered largo defections to the in dependents and the people's party. It has lost Kansas and it is likely to lose Pennsylvania, to say nothing about Massachusetts.—Holyoke (Mass.) Demo crat. Tho Ileal llattle Ground. Senator Sherman ia deluding himself in believing that New York is to be the battle ground next November. Every thing now points to a Democratic vic tory in that state without a fight. The real battle ground is in the northwest, where the Democracy and tho People's party will join forces against the com mon enemy.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Cleveland'* Common Sense. Mr. Cleveland's firm letter of declina tion to the female enthusiast who origi nated the scheme of the "Fiances Cleve land Influence clubs" is couched in very happy and gentlemanlike language, and will command the respect of members of his own as well as those of the op posite political party.—Hartford Post (Rep.). Muro Than Enough llouaou. If there were no other reasons for a change of administration tho fact that Wananiakor, Elkins, Miller and the two Fosters are in the cabinet would he sufficient. And it is even more potent witli sturdy Republicans than with Democrats.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A Plalform for Democrats. The Democratic platform was not written to please the Republican organs or the party of force bills and a tariff for protection to plutocrats. It is a plat form for Democrats, and on it they will win a decisive victory in November.— St. Louis Republic. Although Treed He Will Stutup. Green B. Raum is treed by the pension investigating committee, but that will not prevent him taking the stump for Harrison next week.—St. Louis Post- Dispatcli. l-'orty Per Cent. More. If McKiuley had fixed up a 100 per cent, tariff instead of his (10 per cent, deal, how many Pinkertons would Penn sylvania have needed?— Kansas City Times. Tlio Handwriting on the Wall. It looks as though Harrison and Me Kinleyism would fall outside Carnegie's breastworks. —Wheeling Register. Dying In the Shallow of "Protection."
