RENSSELAER JASPER COUNTY. INDIANA FRIDAY NOVEMBER 21. 1890.

Not Chea Goods, but Money Paid the People Demand.

“I cannot find myseif in full sympathy with this demand for cheaper coats which seems to me necessarily to involve a cheaper man and woman under the coats."— Benjamin Harrison in an address at Chicago in 1888. “Cheap! I never liked the word.— “Cheap” and “nasty" go together. This whole system of cheap things is a badge of poverty, for cheap merchandise means cheap men, and cheap men mean a cheap country, and that is not the kind our fathers builded. Furthermore, it is not the kind their sons mean to maintain. ” William McKinley, jr., at Kalamazoo, October 14, 1890. “The cry for cheapness is un-American.” —Henry Cabot Lodge, at Lowell, Oct. 13, 1890. “Thecurse of cheapness! The vulture loves his carrion not more than the free trader longs for cheapness.”—Bulletin of the Protective-Tariff League, Oct. 17, 1890. “The attainment of commodities is not the best purpose of the protective system.”—The Manufacturer, organ of the Pennsylvania Manufacturers’ Club, Oct. 16, 1890. “Cheapness is the fetich of the Englishman. Let us then have done with this cheapness and with its advocacy.”—Henry Carey Baird, in Philadelphia, Oot. 16, 1890. The above named advocates of the robber tariff misapprehended the intelligence of the people, and the honest motives which prompted their opposition to the payment of tribute to the men who furnished the “fat” in the interest of the success and perpetuity in power of the republican party. It was not so much “cheep” goods, as value received for their expenditures that they demanded. They have distinctly announced that they are emphatically apposed to payingtwo prices for the necessaries of life They have promptly and properly rebuked the sneering and false implication of being governed by impecuniosity, as thrust at them by Harrison, McKinley & Co. In his remarks at the Thurman Banquet Grover Cleveland thus happily hits off the false insinuations of these politics] mountebanks: “I have spoken of frugality and economy as important factors in American lifeI find no fault with the accumulation of wealth, and am glad to see energy and enterprise receive their iair reward. But I believe that our government in its natural integrity, is exactly suited to a frugal and economical people, and I believe it is safest in the hands of those who have been made strong and self-reliant in their citizenship by self-denial and by the surroundings of an enforced economy.— Thrift and careful watchfulness of expenditure among the people tend to secure a thrifty government, and cheap and careful living on the part of individuals ought to enforce economy in the public expenditures. When, therefore, m«n in high places of trust, charged with the responsibility of making and executing our laws, not only condemn, but flippantly deride cheapness and economy within the homes of our people, and when the expenditures of the government are reckless and wasteful we may be sure that something is wrong with us, and that a condition exists which calls for a vigorous and resentful defense ot Americanism by every man worthy to be called an American citizen. Upon this question of cheapness and economy, whether it relates to individuals or to the operations of the government, the democratic party, true to its creed and traditions, will unalterably remain attached to our plain hnd frugal people. They are especially entitled to the watchful care and protection of their government; and when they are borne down with burdens greater than they can bear, and are made objects of scorn by hard task-masters we will not leave their side. As the great German reformer, insisting upon his religious convictions, in the presence of his accusers exclaimed, “I can do naught else. Here I stand. God help me.” so, however much others may mock and deride cheapness and the poor and frugal men and women of our land, we will stand forth in defense of their simple Americanism, defiantly proclaiming, “We can do naught else. Here we stand.”— Thus, when the question is raised whether our people shall have the necessaries of life at a cheaper rate, we are not ashamed to confess ourselves “in full sympathy with the demand for cheaper coats, and we are not disturbed hy the hint that this seems “necessarily to involve a cheaper man or woman under the coats. ” When the promoter of a party measure which invades every home in the land with higher prices, declares that “cheap and nasty go together and this whole system of cheap things is a badge of poverty; for cheap merchandise means cheap men and cheap men mean a cheap country,” we indignantly repudiate such an interpretation of American sentiment. And when another one, high in party councils, who has become notorious as the advocate of a contrivance to perpetuate partisan supremacy by outrageous interference with the suffrage, announces that “the cry for cheapness is un-American,” we scornfully reply that his speech does not indicate the slightei;t|conception of true Americauism. I will not refer toother utterances of like import from similar sources. I content myself with recalling the most prominent and significant. The wonder is that these things were address, ed by Americans to Americans. What was the occasion of these condemnations of cheapness and what had honest American men and women done, or what were they likely to do that they should be threatened with the epithets “cheap,” “nasty" and “un-American?” It is hard to speak patiently as we answer these questions. Step by step a vast number of our people had been led on, following blindly in the patfi of parry.— They had been filled with hate and sectional prejudice; they had been cajoled with misrepreseutat ons and f .lse promises; they had been corrupted with mow y and by appeals to their selfishness. Ail these things led up to their final betrayal to satisfy the demands of those who had supplied the fund for their corruption.— This betrayal was palpable and it was impossible to deny or conceal the fact that the pretended relief tendered to the peo-

pie in fulfillment of a promise to lighten the burdens of their life, made by the party intrusted with the government, was but a scheme to pay the debts incurred by the purchase of party success, while it further increased the impoverishment of the masses.”

THE FALL OF WAGES.

One of the largest of increases of duty made by the McKinley tariff was for the benefit of the plush m anufacturers. A few days after the bill was passed wages were reduced in a plush factory in Catasaqua, Pa., and 500 operatives struck. The general average of duties on silks wae slightly raised, and in the middle of October one of the silk mills inPatereon, N. J., reduced wages 25 per cent The duties on woollens and worsteds were increased and near the end of October the Valley Falls Manufacturing Company of Rhode Island reduced the wages of the girls in its employ from $4.50 to $4.25 per week. On October 20, the cappers in a canning establishment in Indianapolis had their wages reduced on the ground of the increase in the price of tin cans since the enactment of the McKinley bill. A dispatch from Cleveland, Ohio, November 3, says: “The carpenters of the city were to-day reduced from 27|c to 250 per hour. The contractors say they have to pay higher prices for lumber owing to the tariff bill and must retrench. * The new tariff law does not justify the increase that has occurred in the price of lumber, but workingmen will do well to ponder on this illustration of the general law, that as the price of material advances the price of labor falls off, and the new tariff law does increase many varieties of material. A dispatch from Lowell, Mass., Nov. 3, says that “the spoolers in the Merrimac mills have had their pay reduced 15 cents per day, and the wages of the drawing in girls have been cut. It is thought among the operatives that a general cut down will follow.” A dispatch from Lynn, Mass., Nov. 3, says: “The armature winders of the Thompson-Houston Electric Company have struck to resist a reduction of wages.” A dispatch from Ashland, Penn., Nov. 3, in the Philadelphia Inquirer reports a strike of seventy girls in an under garment factory against regulations that would involve them in expense end amount by indirection to a reduction of waqes. On November 4 the cotton weavers in Lonsdale, R. 1., received notice of a outdown. They were getting 53 cents oil a 50 yard long cut. but they are to run a finer grade of goods with five yaras additional on the length, and will receive but 38 cents a cut. The Valley Falls and Ashton weavers’ wages have been reduced about as much. A dispatch from Jeffersonville, Ind., November 6, says: On account of the McKinley bill increasing the price of materials the Ohio Falls Gar Company has lowered the pay of body men on coaches sl4per coach.” ’ Two years ago many reductions of wages were made soon after the election. Now that the votes are all cast we shall probably hear of many cuts in the pay roll.

THE MCKINLEYITE’S REVENGE.

Wages of Democratic Workingmen Reduced 33 per Cent. [Special to the N. Y. World.] Canton, 0., Nov. 7.—This morning forty-seven democrats, employed by Russell A Co., of Massilon, quit work because the ir wages haa been reduced 33 per cent. The wages of the republicans were not changed, and the only reason given for reducing the democrats* wages was that they voted for John G. Warwick, the people’s candidate, and against Maj. McKinley. the friend of the monopolists. The city of Massilon is ablaze with indignation on the part of the workingmen of both parties against the tyrannical action, and an indignation meeting will be held by the citizens to take action in the matter. The shops of Russell & Co. are immense concerns, in which six or seven hundred hands find employment in the busy season, over four hundred being employed the year round. The firm manufactures agricultural machinery, steam engines and similar articles. During the campaign the Russells, who are stanch republicans, interested themselves deeply in the election of Mr. McKinley. Yesterday a large number of democrats received their cards with the prices revised, a cut of 33 per cent, being made on every article. Upon hearing it Lieut-Gov. Warwick could scarcely bring himself to believe it. Investigating the story, he found it to be onlyjtoo true, whereupon he said: “What an outrage! What a shame! It is -terrible, terrible. lam shocked and surprised, indeed, by this infamous act. Drivefi from work because they voted tor me!” At once Mr. Warwick began to make preparations to relieve the men who had been so outrageously treated. A telegram was sent to Michael D. Harter of the Fifteenth district, who has large shops at Mansfield, asking him if he could not make room for those who had been practically evicted. Shortly after 1 o’clock Mr. C. H. Russell was accosted at the postoffice by Otto Young, democratic candidate for probate judge and a leadingjlawyer of Massillon. Mr. Young asked the manufacturer if it was true that the reduction had been made and was frigidly received, Mr. Russell evading the question. Insisting upon a reply, Mr. Young received the harsh response: “Hereafter, in our shops, free-traders will receive free-trade wages. J. Walter McClymonds, president of the company, is now in New York.

At the Nev York Chamber of Commerce dinner, Tuesday night, Chauncey Depew, a prospective republican candidate for President, |n speaking of the recent financial panic, handsomely came down as follows: Within the paat few weeks we have stood the strain or the repurchase of all our bonds and stocks which Europe desired to Mil. It waa a fearful teat, but it haa superbly demonstrated the stranglh of our financial situation, the soundness of our credit, and the permanency of our proa* The breaking of the dam of this European reservoir which we have been filling pour upon us a stream of securities which will reduce values from 25 to 50 per oent. Such a oontrahtion would at certain times suspend the business of our country and bring about bankruptcy and ruin. These tremendous possibilities will be averted as we grow ricn enough to absorb our own securities and loan our own money for our own development. But to increase our own available resources we MUST ENLARGE THE AREA OF CUB mABKETS FOB OUB SUBPLUS PBODUOTB. The solution of our dangerous problems and the solvent of our future prosperity lie largely in the direction of commercial reciprocity among ite nations of all America, i ' Just as Mhr^Kleine hns said: The United fiftateKhiiO reached the poin* where one of its highest duties ie to enlarge THE AREA OF ITS FOREIGN TBADE. And at the same dinner, Mr. Cleveland, in a few remarks, enlarged the scope of the proposition. He tald: We have heard a great deal to-night about literature in commerce and reciprocity; of reciprocity with Spanishspeaking people. Now, I think if reciprocity is good for the Spanish-speaking people, why is it not a good thing to have reciprocity with our own people? We have heard about France helping out England and the United States financially. Now why can’t they do so commercially? The McKinley midgets cannot grasp these great truths.

These great remedies have won their great popularity purely cn their merits. 1. F. B. Meyer, Druggist. A royal meal at the Opera House Tuesday evening—ls cents.

THEORY AND PRACTICE OF PROTECTION.

In a little pamphlet by Mr. Geo. Brickett, of Lynn, Mass., is presented the theory and practice of pioteotion. It contains the whole statement and deductions. Out it out; paste it in your hat; carry it in your pocketbook: If you think it wise to protect an industry that* you are not directly interested in, I make this proposition toy ouj: Tax yourselves only 1 cent a year, and I will open a new American industry, agreeing to employ 1,200 native American laborers at wages of SSOO a year, or I will give them $450 a year and allow them 365 holidays. You are following me as an arithmatician. In round numbers there are 60,000,000 people to be taxed: One cent from each amoants to $600,000 1,200 laborers at $450 each wo’d take of this amount, 540,000 Leaving for me $60,000 In the new industry 1,200 laborers are ployed at good wages and very light work. Sixty thousand dollars is a fair ramus erat ion for my severe mental strain. Twelve hundred and one of our population—pure native Americans—are engaged in a business profitable to them, and tho other 50,998„790 are losers of only one cent each. This business I will continue; and I will further agree not to reduce the wages of my help, to employ only natives, and not to import laborers from Hungary, Poland or Italy to compete with them.— There will be no “shut-down,” no strikes, and in ten years I agree to have a free library, gymnasium and hospital for my help. I further agree to find politicians who will point to this new industry as one that has grown up entirely under the beneficent workings of protection. I will refer to this industry myself as depending absolutely upon the glorious American idea of protection. Don’t forget to attend the Gypsy entertainment at the Opera House, next Tuesday evening. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat (Bep.) remarks: A Republican policy which keeps Republicans away from the polls, or which makes many of them vote the Democratic ticket, is a first-rate policy to drop. Between this time and the meeting of the national conventions in 1892, the party must either reform its present leaders or get new ones. Mr. Blaine remarks: The United States has reached the point where one of its highest duties is to enlarge the of its foreign trade. Therd is not a section nor a line in the entire [McKinley] bill that will open a market for another bushel of wheat or another barrel of pork. Supper served from 5 to 8 o’clock p. m., Tuesday evening, at the Opera House Admission to the entertainment 10 eents. Price for cupper 15 cents.

A CHANGE OF FRONT. j 1 [Boston Transcript.] "The practice of chicken-stealing, which ou opponents profess to consider so re. preheniible, is not only quite innocuous in itself, but it is the hope and salvation of the country, and should be encouraged and upheld by all true patriots." After election: “The country has passed its verdict upon chicken-stealing, and has declared that it must cease. It is a dan* gerous, a most vicious practice, and no words of ous can condemn it in terms too positive or too scathing."

A well-known minister happened along and with the impulse of a good Samaritan wanted to help the boy and said, "want to ring the bell, sonny?" “Yes, sir, but can’t reach it" The divine stepped to the veranda and gave the bell a vigorous pull, as no patted the interesting juvenile on the head. "Now run like the devil," shouted the kid, as he shot down the street at the top of his speed. All the man could do was to laugh at this deplorable bit of worldliness and make an explanation when the bell was answered. • All goods in my lino can bo had, FOB cash, from this date until the let of January, 1891, regardless of cost.

Kendallville News: A good joke is told of an enthusiastic Republican who declared before the election that if Indiana was carried by the Democrats he would move out of the state. When the election news was received, and while seated at the breakfast table, his wife said: “Well, John, are you getting ready to move?" John thought a moment and re* plied: “Where in h—l will we move to? It's all Democratic."
