RENOUNCING HARRISON.

INDEPENDEET IRIEHMEN WHO SUPPORTED BLANK IN 1884 COME OU» FOR CLEVE LAND AED THURMAN. Tbo news which excited great in terest at Democra’io headquarters was the action of about one thousand Irish-Amerioans who were ardent supporters of Mr. Blaine in 1884, but who have now come out for Clever, land and Thurman. The fohowin resolutions adopted by them and sent to Democratic headquarters by the president Edward J. Rowe, explain the causes of their change of views. RINGING RESOLUTIONS. Resolved, That as protectionists, believing that the full measure of real proteetion to the workingmen the greatest good to all the ped ole can be best secured under a lower and more equal system of custom house taxation, do most heartily in dorse the plan of tariff reform contained in the Mills bill. 2. That trusts and monopolists fos> tered and encouraged by unjust State and na'ional laws, imposing inequal tariff taxes and laying tribute to the consumers of the products controlled by them, have our most emphatic condemnation; and we demand that such laws shall be so revised as to make such iniquitous combinations m ossibie.

3. That the retaliation message of President Cleveland to Congress proved him a statesman of the highest order; an American capable of sustaining his country’s hon n r in any emergency, and deserving the respect and support of every patriotie ci the re üblic This much of justice we all the more cheerfully accord the President be* cause of our steadfast opposition to ijs ejection in 1884, in thO belief tha* iis opponent in the campaign would more earnestly sustain the national ion >r that has now been so splendidly vindicated and maintained by the President himself. 4. That Allen 3. Thurman, the Democratic candidate for vice’presldent, who, after a lifetime devoted to the unselfish service of his Stare and country, stands to day without blame or reproach, he peer of the purest and greatest is well worthy of any honor that a patriotic people can confer upon him. 5. That believing these things, indorsing the platform adopted by the Democratic convention at St. Louis, and with full faith in the ability, integrity and patriotism of the Democrat* io candidate candidate for President, wo, as independent citizens, free from partisan prejudice, pledge to those candidates our most ardent support in this campaign. 6. That the Republican party and its presidential candidate' cannot in the short period of our political cam* paign, an for partisan < fleet alone, atone for the repeate i utterances of Benjamin Harrison, hostile to and belittling American workingmen of Irish birth, which utterances are the result of heredity and legitimate manifestation of his descent from an ancestry of Cromwellian fellowship nd association of which he and his followers boast. We denounce that candidate and those utterances from the narrowest bigotry and prejudice, and call on those who cherish a liberal American spirit to assist in his overwhelm’DK ae'eat.

THE REAL ISSUE.

(Manchester Union.) There is no issue in this country between fr e trade and protection The issu« is between excessive and reasonable taxation. Between the present war tariff and a reasonable reduction. Between free raw material and protection o i manufacturers end taxed raw material and protected goods. Any man or newspaper that says this is not true, lies, and does it for the purpose of deceiving and cheating the people of this country, and for no other purpose; but it wili fail assure as time continues.

A KETTLE OF FISH.

(Harrisburg Patriot,) This is the way the Senate’s position on the fishery question was state ed in early Puritan poetry: “H' 1 digged a pit. He dig*ged it deep, He digged it for his brother And for this sin they all fell in The pit they digged for ’tutter.” “We promote free trade in men , and it is the only free trade I am prepared to promote.”—Pig-iron Kelley Republican Congressman from Phil” adelphia. There it is in a nut thell! They fa - vor competition with the er but oppose; competition with the mo» popolistic wage payer.

BLAINE ON COTTON WAGES.

“Undoubtedly Inequalities in English and American Wages More than Equalized.” In June, 1881, James G. Blaine published under his official responsibility as Secretary of State, a report on the “Cotton Goods Trade of the World,” in which lie undertook to show and did show that, as compared with England in this, the leading branch of maim factures for each country, “wo stand on an undoubted equality thus far in the race of competition.” He drew the balance of advantages and disadvantages sub stantially as follows: “American wages aie slightly higher, but the hours of work for each are somewhat longer. Thus, the wages of spinners and weavers in Lancashire a d in Massachu setts were as follows per week: “English spinners, $7.20 to SB. ■ 40; (masters sl2). “American $7.07 to $10.39. “English weavers, $3.84 to $8.64, less 10 per cent. “American $4.82 to $8.73. “English average mon, about SB, less 10 per cent. “ American average men, $8.30. “English average women, $3.40 to 4.30, less 10 per cent. “American average women, $5.6? “English hours of laboi', 56. “American hours of labor, 60 in Massachusetts; in ether States, with lower wages, 60 to 69 hours.” On this showing, which is very interesting, Mr. Blaiao made the following comment; “Undoubtedly tlm inequalities in the wages of English and American operatives are more than equalized by the greater efficiency of the latter, and their longer hours of labor. If this should prove to be a fact in practice, as it seems to be proven from official statistics, it would be a verv important element in the establishment of our ability to compete with England for our share of the cotton goods trade of the world.” This very simple, comprehensive and practical review of one of our most important industries sustains completely the principle of the reform of the tariff embodi'd in the Mills bill and in the message of President Cleveland, which Mr. Blaine is now denouncing as threatening' the ruin of the manufactures of the country and the reduction of the wages of the men employed in them.

Sample Republican Arguments.

[lndianapolis Sentinel.] To the Editor—Sir: Charles F. Griffin, who spoke at Greensfork, Sept. 6, made the following reference to the tariff on wool • “Take, for example, the suit I have on. It weighs five pounds, with a tariff of 10 cents per pound, making a total of 50 cents on the suit. Any man who would not be willing to pay 50 cents protection on a suit of clothes is not patriotic.” Does not Mr. Griffin know that it takes four pounds of greasy wool to make one pound of wool cloth? and if his suit weighs five pounds it would take 20 pounds of greasy wool to make the suit?— With a tariff tax of 10 cents per pound on wool it makes 82 tax.— Then there is an additional protection of 35 per cent, of the act uni cost of the cloth. Say the cloth cost SB, the “protection” would be 82.80, which, added to the tariff on wool, makes 84.80 tax on the suit. Mr. Griffin also used a great deal of argument trying to show the farmers how they wore protected 20 cents per bushel on their wheat, which caused many a smile from our well-posted farmers, who know that nothing of the kitad is possible, lake it altogether his speech was a very thin affair.
