IMPORTED CONTRACT LABOR.

The Result of an Iniquitous Republican Law Fathered by John Sherman-

Louis Jordan, writes to the InSentinel: “Ljead in a Journal editorial that the Swedes and Itai'-'is in young Logan’s r tone quarries ‘have been a constant soun eof trouble, and i is a pity the country, could not get rid of them.’ This reads strangely, coming from a paper that now, and for years past has maintained that John Sherman was a great and good statesman.” An act authorizing the importation of foreign contract labor was approved July 4, 1861 John Sherm .n had this law passed, and his friends—the monopolists—took advantage of it and imported ship loads of foreign laborers • One firm alone imported 14,000 Italians up to 1881. Americans and adopted citizens were driven out by them. The act of 1864 established a specif s of slav ry and will puzzle the future historian when lie records that it was approved on he 4th of July and passed by a party that claims the credit of freeing the negroes. The advocates of a protective tariff are >lways prating about American workingmen being bro’t into competition with the pauper labor of Europe. These same men have never hesitated a moment to import foreign contract labor when thr>y could make money by doing so. The hypocrisy of the protective tariff advocates is colossal and is orly surpassed by their impudence in trying to u ake the Wageworkers of the country believe that they only have their interests at heart when they advocate protection. The present law prohibiting the importation of fereign contract labor was only passed after the democracy obtained a majority in the lOwer house of congress. But the mischief had been done and tens of thousands of our wage-workers had been turned out of their places by republican imported contract laborers. Louis Jordan.

THE ARREARAGE BILL.

Misstatement of a Partisan Corrected by the Official Record. A Washington special to the Indianapolis Sentinel -ays: From an interview with Charles H. Young, deputy secretary of state, recently published in The Sentinel, we see that Mr. Young charges that President Cleveland vetoed the arrearage pension bill, and for that reason he can not secure th soldie. vote of Indiana. Mr. Young is not well informed on the subject. The act depriving old soldiers of the arrears of pensions was enacted Jan. 25, 1879, and amended March 3, 1879, limiting the t’meof filing claims carrying arrears te June 30, 1880.— These acts were both approved by acting-presi ent Hayes. No act repealing th! 3 law has been passed; neither h.-s President Cleveland v-t 'ed any such measure An examination of the congressional records develops the further f ct that Senatoi -J. J. Ingulls of Kansas, who, a few days ago, denounced Gen. ancock as an ally of the southern confederacy, was ehairman of the committee on invalid pensions which recommended in 187? the passage of the bill cutting of all back pensions, and that he (Ingalls) also voted for the bill. It is a matter of record that the U. S. Senate, at its present session, refused to pass the pension bi 11 prepared bv a committee of the Grand Army, ‘but so amended the bill as to embody all the obnoxious features of the dependent bill vetoed by the president last year. The house committee on pensions, however, has amended the senate bill to conform to the

, ideas of the committee of die Grand Army. Old soldiers here, and there are thousands of them in the d partments, are emphatic in the expression that the senate committee shot Id have reported the bill without amendment. It is the general belief among them that the senate majority is ’ ot acting in good faith with the old soldiers in pension ma ters, and cite the amendment of the grand army bill as evidence of the fact. “The senate,” said one, “seems to be more interested in manufacturing political capital for the republican party in the coming campaign than in discussing honest and judicious pension legislation.”

WHO FOUGHT?

Mr. Tarsney, of Michigan, in his speech in the House of Representatives strove to prevent the inception of a civil list of pensions. Anl in that speech he brought forward some figures that should be quoted every ti.ee an irreconcilable like Senator Ingalls urges an undying warfare between die North and South. Ingalls asks his crit.cs to believe that the party which voted for Abraham Lincoln in 1860 carried on the war. All other men were traitors, and therefore must to-day be traitors. No reasonable person believes this, y?t Mr. Tarsney’s figures, quoted from the official records, may be of value to the general reader.— The vpte for Lincoln in Illinois in 1860 was 173,161: the troops furnT shed in excess of this number were 86,986. The vote of Indiana for Lincoln was 139,033; the excess of troops was 58,114. The excess of lowa was 5,900. Kentucky offers a fine example; the vote there was 1,364, the excess of troops was 77,661. The excess of Massachusetts was 45,515 Notice Missouri Lincoln had 17,627 votes while 109,111 soldiers enlisted in the Union army. New York had an excess of 104,401; Ohio, 88,049; Pennsylvania, 98,077; Tennessee 31,092, few votes having gone for Lincoln; Wisconsin, 10,314.

There is another matter of fact which should be considered in this connection to-wit: The republican majorities in those states, al ensu ing elections, tends more clearly to prove that the republican party did not even furnish its proportionate quota to the army. The election returns were conclusive proof that the mass of that party reman ed a> h .me to do the voting. Try those white pickled onions, at Duvall’s. Why has wheat dropped in the last ten years from $1,50 per bushel to 75 cents or perhaps 77 cents? —Exchange. A farmer replies- For the simple reason that the republican tariff obstructs a fair deal for our surf lus at Liverpool. Prime Breakfast Bacon, and don’t you forget it, at

A Democrat!: tariff would admit of the exchange of our surplus wheat and other products to our advantage for a return fcarge. Our farmers and workingmen would be beiiefitted thereby. The republican tariff prohibits a mutual and satisfactory trade. Hence we are compelled to keep our surplus, and accept such prices as over production may dictate Take your butter and eggs'to J. W. Duvall, at the new Groceiy, and get cash or goods for them. Fred Douglas suggests Justice Harlan as the colored man’s candidate for President. Goto Duvall’s and gelt pure early rose seed potatoes.

Report on the Mils Tariff: Why, then, should we keep out by high duties the foreign wools so necessary to the clothing of txe people? The wool growers’ association asks us to put on i duty high enough to prevent the importation of all wool. The wool manufacturers’ association ask us to put on a duty high enough to keep out all manufactures of wool. If congress grants this joint request, what are the people to do for woolen clothing? Are the people to be compelled by congress to wear cotton goods in the winter or go without to give bounties to wool growers and wool manufacturers? During the last fiscal year there were 114,404,173 pounds of wool imported, and of that am0unt81,505,447 were cheap carpet wool, the greater part of which paid 2| cents per pound duty. The high duty of 10 cents ' per pound on the finer wools that go j into clothing was *>o great a barrier j against the importation of the better wools that cnly 33,099,696 pounds were imported. But our people required clothi. pud if congress put a duty so high on wool as to keep it out, still, high as was the duty on woolen goods, $44,235,243 worth were imported and consumed in this country, upon which duties were paid amounting to $29,729,717. If the charges constantly being made are true —that great quantities of these goods are coming in undervalued, under weighed and unmeasured — then the aggregate amount is much larger.
