WHY ?
1. Why, under the benign influence of
our war tariff, are one-third of our wage
earner out of work one-third of the time f
2. Why did wages in Great Britain go up
between 1872 and 1SS3 9 per cent, while
they went down in Masiachusetts during
thfl cnmenerlod ? Dcr cent ?
3. Why are wages in free trade England
from 50 to 100 per cent higher than they
are in any protected country on tne conn
nnt nf Eurooe ?
a. Whv does China, which has nurtured
her people under a prohibitory tariff for
several hundred years, pay ner common
laborers 20 cents a day and her skilicu me
rhnnics 3o cents a day ?
5. How are we able to sell annually
7oo.oc5 00o of the products ot our nign
priced labor in foreign markets against the
whole world, if, as protectionists assert.trce
competition in goods means equality in
wapes ?
fi. Whv did the wealth of this country
increase in the low tariff period, 1S50-1S60,
126 per cent, and in the high tarm period
iS7o.8So. only 80 per cent, even after re
ducing the census values of 1S70 to a gold
basis ? r
1. Whv did the value of farms in this
country increase from 1850 to 1S60 103 per
cent, and from 1S70 to 1SS0 only 37 per
8. Why did American vessels control
three-fourths of our foreign carrying trade
in i8s6,and less than one-sixth ot it In ioSO:
9. Why did wages in Massachusetts ad
v.ince from the hiah tariff decade ending
with 1830 to the low tariff decade ending
with 1S60 52 per cent,while they advanced
from 1S60 to 1SS1 only 28 per cent t
10. Why should not the Protectionist
Tariff Commission of 1SS2, John L. Hayes
Chairman, who recommended a tariff re
duction of 20 psr cent, and declared that
such reduction was demanded "not by a
mere indiscriminate popular clamor.but ny
the best conservative opinion of the coun
try," be denounced under the new dispen
sntion as arrant free traders r
11. Why, in spite of the fact that land
and food are cheaper here, does it cost a
family spending $500 a year $68 a year
more to live In this country than In tng-
land on precisely the same scale f
13. Why Is not $68 a moderate estimate
of the tax paid by every family in this
country in order that Andrew Carnegie
and others of his kind may crow immense
ly rich and lock out their einp.oyes at pleas
ure ?
13. With Poles, Bohemians and Italians
swarming into this country free of duty,
how much arc our wage earners benefitted
bv the protective tax on lumber.coal.cloth
ing, salt, and almost everything they have
to buv ? How much hieher ought the tax
to be in order to make us all supremely
happy I
14. In view of the public assertions of
protectionists that the prime object of the
tariff is to help the poor workingmen.what
docs James P. Foster, President of the Re
publican League, mean by saying, in his
confidential circular of May 25, that the
manufacturers get "practically the sole
benefit" from our tariff laws, and that it
would be a good thing to "fry the fat" out
of the Pennsylvania manufacturers, "who
are more hlehlv protected than anybody
else and who make large fortunes every
year when times are prosperous r lias mr,
Foster arlven the whole thine away I
1 5. How do Pennsylvania manufacturers
accumulate their "fat" except by preying
upon the general public forced by the tariff
to buy their wares at thetr own price t
A dispatch from Augusta, Maine, says
"There Is quite a breeze In political circles
here over the stand taken by several pionv
Inent Augusta republicans for tariff reform.
Charles N. Hamlen.a large dry goods deal
er on Water street, and a son-in-law of the
late Lot M. Morrill, has never voted any
thing but the republican ticket, but when
seen to-day said decisively :"I don't see how
I can conscientiously vote for any other
candidate than Cleveland. I believe in
tariff reform. We need free wool. Wool
len manufacturing in many of the mills
here is an unprofitable business. Two mills
In this county are idle. They had been
manufacturing a low grade of casslmercs
from our American wools. The market
being overstocked with these goods and
the manufacturers being unable to Import
the high grade of wool needed to make fine
cloths, because of the tariff, were obliged to
stop their machinery." Lendall Titcomb,
one of the most extensive property holders
In the city and a rcpubllcan,advocates tariff
reform dally. Dr. W. B. I.apham, former
ly editor of the Afaiue Farmer and who has
long been a republican, will vote for Cleve
land and tariff reform." 1
A Parkersburg, W. Va dispatch says
that, besides ex-Gov. V. T. Farnsworth,
who on Tuesday, in a speech before the
Democratic convention of I'pshur county,
declared his intention of voting for Cleve
land and Tiiurman and of stumping est
Virginia in favor of tariff reduction, two
other Republicans William E. Anderson
and Alfred Burton of Jefferson county
have come out for Cleveland. Both of them
have voted the Republican ticket since the
organization of the party, and have occu
pied prominent position In local politics.
Their reasons for deserting the Republicans
nrr hecause of hiuh taxes, unnecessary sur
plus and the prospect of better prices for
tiw nveraire citizens under a revision of the
tariff which the Democrats propose. An
derson has a large sheep farm and wuen
nsked if he wasn't afraid of wool replied
that there was nothing in the cry except to
frighten the uneducated farmer. Bom An
derson and Burton are leading Odd Fellows
and have a large local influence. Numer
ous other changes of less prominence are
announced.
Leo P. Dwyer, who has been a leader of
the United Labor party in Chicago, and
who was elected to the Illinois legislature
from the fifth senatoral district, on Tues
day threw in his lot with the Democrats
and promised to stump the state for the
Democratic ticket.
A Cleveland and Thurman club has been
organized at Ashtabula, O. , says a dispatch
to the Cleveland Pluindealer. The list con
tains upward of 600 names. A goodly num
ber ai e Republicans, ho avow their inten
tion this fall to vote for Cleveland and low
er taxes.
A curious postal-card received by a firm
in the bottoms severs"! days ago. It was
from a customer in the mountains of Ten
nessee, and read a follows: "please send me
side of bacon a bbl of Sour 10 lbs of cof'ee
and a wheelbarrow my wife had a baby last
week and a monkey w rench crops Is mid
dlin." Ex.
Geo. T. Chambers,who last year was on
the Cumberland county, Penn., republican
ticket for County Treasury ,has announced
that he would support Cleveland and Thur
man in the coming canvass. The tariff
plank in the republican platform does not
suit him, and he says that Cleveland has
made an excellent President and should be
re-elected. o
."The tariff regulates wages." Duty on
knit goods, 40 cents on the dollar. Wages
of knit goods mill operatives, 21 cents on
the dollar. Who takes the 19 cents on the
dollar that belongs to the operatives ?
Chairman Brice says 33 republicans out
of too In one precenct in Ohio will vote
for Cleveland and Thurman.
