CHEAP LABOR WANTED.

" Non-resident couples going to Michigan to be married are new required to first procure license. The Republican gives its readers no account of what is transpiring to-day in the “protected Industries” of the land. Our neighbor, jointly mourneth with the Indianapolis Journal over the defeat of the Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co., school , j book monpoly, o; Cincinnati, by an Indiana industry. Van Antwerp, Bragg A Co. are to be congratulated that they have the sympathy of these fellows. “Bles’t be the tie that binds.”

1 he Republican denounces slugger Sullivan for refusing to flglit the Australian slugger Jackson on the expressed grounds that Jack-* son is a “nigger.” Sullivan sho’d not slur the wards of the Republian narty. We suggest that Bro. Marshall institute proceedings against him under the republican civil rights bill.

001. A. K. McClure, the veteran editor of the Philadelphia Timas, truthfully says: “Newspapers are often criticised for what they print, but if it were known hov much credit they merit for what they don’t print, or tor the nonse se they whack out of what they do print, they would command a much moie generous judgment.” This country mow’ pays more than 600 million dollars every year for the products of foreign labor, which ought to be paid to the laApr of our own country.—Republican.

Our neighbor is nothing if not true to the behests of monopoly. We are having a sample of labor rewarded in our protected coal fields to-day. Carnegie, advertising for hands to take the places oi. his starving strikers tells them t hey will be protected. True enough, the protection given is by Pinkerton men armed with Winchesters. Marshall is almost as i ronical as Carnegie. Our neighbor fairly jumps at ths following, from the Springfield (Mass ) Republican, and gulps it down as though it were a big “grain of comfort: ■‘Strikes are no more the result ot Republican success than the strikes of 188 b were of Democratic success.”

Very true, so far as the strikes of 1886 are concern ad. They are all attributable to laws enacted by Repu wiionn ic gislatiou in the interest of monopolies. Had the ro commendations of Mr. Cleveland been favorably acted upon by the Lepunlicuu Senate, hs they were by the Democratic house, we doubt waether there would be any strikes on hand to-day. Democratic success in the election of Mr. Cleveland did not giye it control of the republican oecate, and it was therefore powerless to secure “tariff reform,’ the great antidot Q for strikes. The strikes of 1886 and ©f 188833 are the result of republican legislation—they are notjand never were, n natural product of Democratic success. One Homer S. Dibell, of indiaua Lniversity, has been awarded thefirrst prize, $250, offered by The Protective League Association of New York, for an essay on an economic subject named by the League Of course he must have struck responsive feelings/in the

(Philadelphia Times - Carnegie, Phipps & Cc. II: r- - 48 Fifth avenue, Pittsburgh, advertise for workmen at Urn Homestead Steel Worl-m. T .-j say: “Our former eranloyes lining refused to accept the revised (reduced) schedule ol wag* r, offered them, based on a sliding scale, their positions are now op*u to others.” They offer “permaneni positions, steady employment and ample protection” to ail who take the places of their old|employes. Only one /ear ago Mr. Carnegie was among the foremost of the employers of the land who notified their workingmen that only by the election of a high tax candidate for President could employment and wages be maintained for labor. Under this pressure not only Mi*. Carnegie’s men, but scores of thousands of other workingmen, voted to continue oppressive taxes upon nearly all the leading necessaries of life because it was called protection to American labor; but with the. triumph of their cause and candidate came only diminish* ed employment and reduced wages. Organized labor is now dismissed from Mr. Carnegie’s mills and nonunion labor will be protected by Pinkerton’s men; and oppressive trusts encouraged by excessive tariff taxes, are closing industrial establishments nearly every week to reduce the produet, withdraw labor from the operatives and increase the cost of necessary articles to consumers.

How long can a great party hope s o maintain power with such a palpable fr nd staring every workingman in the face? How tong will the industrial people of the country par excessive taxes to stimulate public profligacy and oppress consumers by needless cost for what they must use, eat and wear? Are the party leaders blind that they can not see the unrest that prevail and the cheat that{bred it? If they are, they will persist in subserviency to monopolies and combines until they are hopelessly overthrown; if they can see the coming storm, they will make haste to enforce a severe reduction of taxes upon necessaries, and the complete overthrow of the giant monopoly combines which now afflict the country. Whieh shall ir be? President Harrison will answer in his message to the next Congress.
