Democratic Sentinel, Volume 8, Number 32, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 September 1884 — There is no Eree Trade There. [ARTICLE]

There is no Eree Trade There.

A carpenter in Central Mexico earns from sixty to seventy-five cents a day; a mason the same; a common day laborer from twent' five to fifty cents a day; a farm laborer who wo.ks by the month, from two to five dollars a month and “found,” They work from day-light to sunset, with half an hour at 9 o’clock and hgain at 3 for breakfast and supper. These hours are very long; but they take it easy, stopping every little Vvhile to smoke Jheir cirgarros, and accomplishing less than an Ameri can laborer will in six or seven hours’ work. Their earnings are barely sufficient to keep thorn in food and e othes of the coars -st kind, with an occasional “real” over for the bull fight at Pnlke, but »hey are the happiest people on the face of ’he earth.

Hon. Wm. R- Myers, Secretary of State, and.candidate for re-election, addressed a large and enthusastic Democratic meeting in the Court House Monday last. As we announced he would do, he discussed the Issues fairly and squarly, and the demonstrations of applause were vigorous and numerous. CapL Myers is an able, impressive and convincing speaker, a genial gentleman, and made many friends among all part ies here. He says the prospects of Democratic success, judging from the sections of the State he has visited, and from reports, are bright ind glorious.

Pursuant to previous announcement, U. Z. Wiley, Esq., of Fowler addressed a small crowd of solemn » looking Republicans at the Court House, last Saturday night. He informed his hearers that the consumer didn’t pay the tariff duty charged upon tne articles they purchased, etc., and as this proposition is about in keeping with the rest of his argu ment it is not necessary to follow him through his dry, prosy effort. If he will continue to pursue the track he has mapped out above during the campaign, the Democracy and the people will be the gainers. Bev. T. C. Webster has been re appointed to <. is charge in Rensselaer, and Rev. James T. Abbett appointed to Morocco.

Hon. W m. R. Myers, at the Court House, Monday evening next.
