x i _ K The Decatur Democrat.

Intelligent Wageworkers. The Republican cry that “high tariff is equivalent to high wages,” can no longer be given to Intelligent wageworkers. All experiences show the contrary. High tariff means high prices lor raw materials, and high prices for raw materials create a corresponding low price for labor. The capital, not the laborer is protected. As tar as the labor market is concerned we have Free Trade pure and unadulterated > and the protected manufacturers see to It, that the labor market is well stocked at all times, so they may have plenty of ma terial to draw from in time of need. The coal and iron d.stricts of Pennsylvania and Illinois furnish pi oot for this assertion. In Illinois the collier receives cents per ton, at* the same time the tariff on a ton of soft coal is 75 cents, thus the collier receives 2% cents per ton less than the tariff or duty on a ton. According to statistics a miner in the coal or iron mines of Pennsylvania receives from 70 to 75 cents per day for his labor and the owner of the mines receives a bonus of 33 per cent (in the way of protection) to pay the “enormous” wages of 70 or 75 cents per day. In the high protected factories of woolen goods we find it still worse. Here wages have been lowered to an average of $5 per week. In cotton factories it is still worse. And still our friends say,' “High protection makes high wages.” Please show us where? It may be the case in one or two instances, but as a general rule, we venture to saj , wages have gone down in place of going up. Where you find one laborer whose wages have been raised on account of tl e McKin.ey Tariff, wou will find thousands where the contrary is the cose. What is the cause of most of the strikes and wage troubles? Is it nut the reduction of wages? The hands in the silk factories of New Jersey have declared years ago, the nfluence high tariff had on them, was not in raising their wages, but in advancing the price of their necessaries of life. There are a great many laborers seeing it in the tame light, and consequently they will vote for Cleveland and Reform. Laborer. Fron the Hunter’s Camp. Editor Democrat:—Will you please tell the boys that we arrived safely at Ridge, Mich., on the jl«t at 3 o’clock p. m. But lo! there was a saw mill and a lumber camp there bad no room for the hunters, so we went two miles east and camped along side Os the railroad. Everything is in our favor. We have been fixing up our teals and are ready to receive company as soon as our carpet arrives. Some of the boys have been exploring the woods and the prospects are good. Several deer seen, but ’as the law has something to say in regard to shooting deer, we have not fired a gun yet. Fishing good jack rabbits plenty. The 28th of September is near at hand and then you may expect a general advance into deerland with a deer or two to our credit. Will report odr luck in our next letter. Reporter. Notice of Annual Meeting. Notice is hereby given that the annual meeting of the German Fire Insurance Company, of French township, Adams , county, Indiana, will be held at the Elec tion school house in said township at 10 o’clock a. m., Saturday. Oct. Ist It is desirous that every member of the company should be present as considerable business of imp ortanc is to be transacted, among which will be considered the cyclone insurance. Bring your dinners. 1 Albert Yager 27 2 Appraiser. Theodore Gerke has accepted a position tendered him by Carebeer & Matheny, a prominent drug firm of Auburn, Ind. Quite a number of Decaturites “took . in” the Portland fair yesterday. With s little enterprise Decatur could have as good a fair as any town of its size in the state. Enterprise is all that need be im ported,—not of the Snavely kind of several years ago, that took away all the money—but the good, substantial, stay-there kind. Other requisites are with us, — - ~— The following reply to the Journ.ll in its reference to Mr. Bohnke, in his address to the F. M. B. A. people of Preble township: "I was present at the Fuhrman school house on Sest. 22nd and heard* Mr. Fied. ( Bohnke speak in German, and the article in the Journal of the 28th saying that Mr, Bohnke poured hot shot into the court ; house ring is false in every particular. , Mr. Bohnke did not say any harm of the county or state officers, nor of the present nominees of any party. L. N. Grandbtaff. ■■ l Many of the boys of Decatur since the Sullivan-Corbett contest seem to be pugilistically inclined, .Some of the younger ones after and before school hours devote a great deal of time In sparring and talking of their futuie muscular career; while others think they have reached that point of muscular development that would justify them to make a public exhibition of themselves already. This combative disposition of our young sports has manifested itself of late in more than one instance. But it came to a focus the other day when Nick Tonnellier the hardware man, and Jack Nufer entered into a con test without previous training. It Is said that Jack showed his color, yellow, before the gong sounded the close of the first pound and left the hardware store before < | time was called for the second round, thus giving the contest to Mr. Nick. .-j r
