Ti ere are those who fail to
appreciate any per-onal respon
sibility 10 theni of, howthy cast
their vot, . That is they do not
stop to tli nk and apparently do
not believe 'Cat (be manner iu
which tliVy c a-1 -their vote, will
affect 1 he well ' hei'g of J either
themselves their families, their
neihb r or th g-nertl pros
perity of Iheir cuutry.: The
only caution such persons ex
ercise iu casting their vote is . to
deposit their ballot . as to , not
impare their 'staudii'g in the
pRrty to which they belong with
a total disregard of the effects
he adoption , of their . parties
policies will have on the general
business of the county.
Take the issue now , dividing
the two great p-trties on the
tariff. The Republican ; party
proposes o continue its policy
of protection of the wage earners
in (he United Stales from- com
petition with European and'
Asiatic labor rah-e of enmpensa
tinn. The Detnwra'ic paity by
its platform denounces "protec
tion as robbery" and should il
succeed at the November elec
tion it will wipe out the protec
tive feature of our pte.-eot tariff
law
Before a voter votes for a
change so radical as theoje pro
posed by the Democrats in jus
tice to himself, family and neigh
bors he should consider what
will be the effect of a Democra
tic victory.
Theie are now Ave and a half
million African T.ije earners
engaged in the manufactures in
the United S.ates at higher
wages than the wage earners in
Europe or Asia receive for simi
lar labor. To sink 1 out (he pro-
tectiou feature in our tariff law
will remove the bariinr und re
duce wages in the inunufacturi
111 the United duties to the rate
paid in Europe or Asia by open
ing the American rri rkot In
foreign made goods without any
protective clause. Such a policy
will act a it always has acted
only now ou a larger stale be
cause there ire m re wage earn
ers in the Uni'-ed S.ates than
there were wh"ii the Jackson
tariff passed or the Wilson bill
became a law and the confusion
its triumph at the polls will
be much more distressing than
the hard terms ol 1837 or those
of the boo 1 id term of President
