CLEVELAND & W OD BOOMED [From the New Y rk Times.]

To the Editor of the Vew York Times: Cleveland is the man to nominate for President above all others He is popular with all classes of tbe people, and the more the man is talked of the more popular he becomes. He will take the independent Republicai vote of New-Vork and of the whole country. He will get every Denocratic yote in the party.— Cleveland is stronger than his party ana is the man, without doubt, to nominate for President. In Hana must have the second place. Why? Because she is more reliably Democratic than any other W es'ern '■U te, and the chances of carrying hor are better. Who will get the sec one! p'ace? If the old ticket is no'gnominated Hendricks is out. It is not probable that McDonald will accept or want second place. My observation offers tbe question whether McDonald is as strong for second nlaoe as, without doubt, he would be running for first. Mr. Wood’s record shows him to he a strong friend oi McDonald, and would make an earnest worker for securing him the position of President. ‘Tudeoendent,” in his letter makes a splendid team in Cleveland and Wood. Wood is an active and strong young man, and would be our, the young man’s, candidate. The votes of the young men outnum er all others.— Wc will appreciate Wood’s nomination. He is strong in the Republican stronghold of Indiana. He was elected to the Indiana State Senate in 1878, and for tour years represen ed a strong Republican district After honorable service as a State Senator he was elected to Congress in 1882, carrying tbe strongest Republican district in Indiana - This shown ehe character of Wood at his home and in his own State. The same energy and success ghe can carry into the campaign. Give us Cleveland and Wood and we will give the ticket lite, will, and victory'. Young Democracy. Washington, D. C. June 12, 1884.

The work of reducing the wages of la borers employed by protected manufacturers goes bravely on. If the tariff is high enough to protect manufacturers, why should any cut be made in the wages of labor irs*’ If high protection does not protect labor, then there should be no tariff at all. There is but one reason why we should favor a tariff, viz: to increase the wages of laborers, and it it does not do this, all tariff duties should be abolished. There are strong reasons so r as serting that a high protective tariff does not benefit wage workers. First, laborers employed by unprotected industries receive belter pay than the employes of protected industries. Jiecond, the discor. tent that exists among laborers is tbui d among those employed hy protected manufacturers, and strikes are frequent among such iaborers. Third, the price ot labor is governed by the demand for and supply of laborers, and rich, protec * ed corporations being sc.nlless, secure labor at the lowest price in order to increase their profits and secure the full benefit of a system that t*»,xes every mtST woman and child lor their benefit. There was never more discontent among the laborers employed by protected manufacturers than there is right now, although there has been no reduction in the tariff which is purported to be levied to in crease their wages. Instead of any increase there has been a constant reduction in wages.—Logansport Pharos.
