TO ENSLAVE LABOR.

Ever the Aim and Object of the Republican Party, Origin and History of the Contract Labor Law. Enacted For the Purpose of Giving Employers Cheap Labor—Perpetuated to Keep the Laborers Who Had Returned From the War From Securing Employment at Good Wages—Remarkable Reports on the Bill Made by Republicans In Congress. In 1864 congress passed an act substantially entitled an act to encourage immigration. This was its ostensible purpose, but its real object was to clothe contractors, mineowners and manufacturers with power to contract with and import laborers from Europe to supplant American workmen, and to reduce the price of American wages. Mr. E. B. Washburn, in reporting the same to the house, said: The vast number of laboring men, estimated at nearly 1.250,000, who have left their peaceful pursuits and patriotically gone forth in defense of our government and its institutions, has created a vacuum which is becoming sesiously felt in every portion of the country. Never before in our history has there existed so unprecedented a demand for labor as at the present time. This demand exists everywhere. It exists in the agricultural districts of the northwest and in the central states; in New England, and among shipping interests of the lakes and seaboard, and is felt in every field of mechanical and manufacturing industry. The dearth of laborers is severely felt in the coal and iron mines of Pennsylvania; in the coal mines of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois; in the lead mines of Galena, and in the gold and silver mines of California, Nevada, Idaho and Colorado. It is believed that the demand for laborers on our railroads alone will give employment for the entire immigration of laborers in 1863. Held the Laborer's All. The second section provides that contracts may be made whereby immigrants shall pledge the wages of their labor to repay the expenses of their immigration, and further provides for the enforcement of the contract and that it shall operate as a lien upon any land acquired by the immigrant when recorded in the county where the land is situated. So drastic were the provisions of this measure that it gave to the importer of laborers not only a lien upon any land they might enter, but upon the wages they might earn. Senator Sherman in reporting this measure to the senate very adroitly tried to conceal its real purpose, but inadvertently disclosed the secret before concluding the statement. He said:

The special wants for labor in this country at the present time are very great. The war has depleted our workshops and materially lessened our supply of labor in every department of industry and mechanism. In their noble response to the call of their country our workmen in every branch of the useful arts have left vacancies, which must be filled or the material interests of the country must suffer. The immense amount of native labor occupied by the war calls for a large increase of foreign immigration to make up the deficiency at home. The demand for labor never was greater than at present, and the fields of usefulness were never so varied and promising. It was true as stated by Senator Sherman that there was “a noble response to the call of their country” by the workingmen, but while absent fighting its battles their vacant places should not have been filled with cheap laborers imported from Europe under contract. Paupers unable to get to this country under the terms and provisions of this law could virtually enslave themselves in foreign countries to American contractors and American manufacturers and the contract would be enforced here to the fullest extent. Amounted to Slavery.

The second section of this law reads as follows: Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That all contracts which shall be made by emigrants to the United States in foreign countries, in conformity, to regulations that may be established by said commissioner, whereby emigrants shall pledge the wages of their labor for a term not exceeding 12 months to repay the expenses of their emigration shall be held to be valid in law and may be enforced in the courts of the United States or of the several states and territories, and such advances, if so stipulated in the contract, and the contract is recorded in the recorder’s office in the county where the emigrant shall settle, shall operate as a lien upon any land thereafter acquired by the emigrant, whether under the homestead law when the title is consummated, or on property otherwise acquired until liquidated by the emigrant; but nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize any contract contravening the constitution of the United States, or creating in any way the relation of slavery or servitude.—United States statutes. At large, volume 15, 1863-65. The extent to which the authors ol this measure knew they were going is apparent from the last lines of the section —“but nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize any con, tract, in contravention of the constitution of the United States, or creating in any way the relation of slavery or servitude.” A further provision of this law exempted the immigrants imported under contract from military service. Ths American workman might be taken from his place in the shop at any time, but the imported laborer was in no danger.. Why Did They Continue It? We ask Republicans why they took advantage of the absence of the wageworkers who were in the army? They gay it was necessary. Labor was scarce and wages was high. Will they answer why, when the war was over, when the armies disbanded and the men returned Home to take their places, this law was pot repealed.? Will they inform us why, ■tfhen half a million of men were discharged from the mills or factories in 1875, this law was kept upon the statute books? Will they answer why during that long period of depression, when hundreds of thousands of men were out

of employment and seeking work, it waa necessary to import as was done under this law, large numbers of European laborers? The fact that this statute remained in force nearly 20 years, 18 after the war had closed, and that every effort to repeal it in the interest of American labor was thwarted is sufficient to satisfy the most skeptical person that it was fashioned and framed in the interest of the contractor and manufacturer. From the time of the enactment of this law till its repeal over 6,500,000 immigrants came to our shores. How many of those left their native land and came to us voluntarily upon their own resources because of their admiration for our institutions, and how many debased and vicious characters were brought here under this contract system cannot be told. Laborers were imported under the provisions of this law up to the time of its repeal, and the statutes now in force prohibiting the same are still being evaded in many ways by men who cry loudest “protection to American labor!” The Republican party, supreme in all departments of the government, was cognizant of the fact that while honest laborers were unable to secure employment importations under contract were constantly being made, but no step was taken to protect them from this competition. It remained for a Democratic house to repeal this law at the session of 1884-5, which was done by the bill of Representative Foran of Oliio.

“DEMOCRATIC TIMES."

Republicans Appalled by the Business Revival. rheir Organ Refuses Longer to Print the News. Bnt Neverthele** the Boom In Mang. factoring Industrie* Goes Merrily Along Thousands of Workingmen Once More Employed Unanswerable Arguments For the Calamity Shrlekers to Meet—Republican Testimony Prove* the Return of Prosperity. “Democratic times” has become a phrase which Republicans no longer delight to use. In fact they don’t like to hear anything about “Democratic times” these days. “Democratic times” are right at hand and they are just what everybody wants prosperous times. When the Indiana Republicans opened their campaign they couldn’t talk long enough or loud enough about the disasters that would follow on the enactment of the tariff law. But a Democratic tariff law was enacted and immediately business began to revive in all quarters. The revival was not a spasmodic movement, either, but has continued until trade in every line may now be said to be booming. For weeks, in fact ever since the passage of the new tariff bill, the Indianapolis Journal has on every Monday morning been refuting calamity statements of its editorial columns by publishing a department of industrial news treating of the business situation in Indianapolis and vicinity. This department has been carefully prepared but evidently has not passed beneath the supervision of the political editor. Week in and week out this department has told of reviving trade, of factories starting up, of extensions being made in every line of business. This department has been to the party managers what the traditional red rag is to the sanguinary bull. They have labored with the management of The Journal to suppress the department or “cook” the news so that it would give a semblance of truth to the calamity howling of the orators and organs. The managers have protested and complained and threatened. But still the news in the industrial department of The Journal has continued to herald the return of prosperity. At last, however, the state central committee has triumphed; the news instincts of The Journal management has given way to the political desires of the proprietors and the industrial department of The Journal, which has been one of its leading and best features for many years, fails to appear this week. It is also to be observed that Republican papers all over the state, presumably by the direction of the state central committee, are giving no prominence whatever to announcements of resumptions of factories and other evidences of the restoration of business activity. The action of the Indianapolis Journal in suppressing this valuable department of the paper is the best evidence possible that Indiana has at last fallen on “Democratic times;” and “Democratic times” means prosperous times—-means Democratic victory in November.

REPUBLICAN TESTIMONY. Manufacturing Institutions Running to Their Full Capacity. But the fact that Republican papers in Indiana refuse to print news of the’ revival of business doesn’t prevent the revival from going right ahead, just the same, and a few Republican papers are honest enough to tell their readers so. The Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette in its Sunday issue has the following items of interest in connection with the resumption of business: In General. The Chattanooga plow works will enlarge its plant and double its force of 250 men. The Globe woolen mills, Utica, N. Y., resumed with 30 more hands than formerly. Mill operatives are looking forward to an advance in wages at the North Adams Manufacturing company, whose mill is at Braytonville, Mass., and which manufactures high grade woolens. A reduction of 10 per cent was. made last March. ' ' ‘ 1 " The manufactures of Chicago pre gradually employing mor© men and aye slowly getting back into the condition in which they were prior to the hard times. It is certain co-operative sleepingcar works will be built at Hiawatha, Kan. The Pennsylvania steel works, Steelton, resumed with a full force in all d> partments.-

•‘A FIRM AD KNCi TO CORBBOT PBIMCI LBS.”

a new Bicycle factory of large proportions is soon to be erected at Weatherly, Pa, and when complete; employment will be given to several hundred men. The Cleveland Twist Drill company, Cleveland, 0., is now running full capacity and 10 hours a day, with an increased force of men. Pullman is to have another formidable competitor in the Goodwin Car Manufacturing company, which has just been incorporated at Des Moines, la., with an authorized capital stock of $2,000,000. Employment will be given to 3,000 men. The silk industrial awakening is being strongly felt in Allentown, Pa., where the Adelaide mills, employing more than 1,000 hands, has restored the old rate of wages, which were reduced last winter. Another silk mill is in course of erection. The Barbour threadmill has recently resumed operations with several hundred hands and increased wages. The Montour Steel and Iron company of Danville, Pa., is still running all departments of its works to the fullest capacity. The foundry, machine and blacksmith shops are busily engaged working full time. The Lima (O.) Steel Casting company ftpened its new works on Oct. 1 and gave employment to about 60 men. The Lakeside nailmill, Hammond, Ind., started up last Monday on full time. The 25 potteries in East Liverpool, 0., are all being operated with greater activity than at any time probably in their history. The Standard iron and steel works, at Bridgeport, contemplates erecting an additional galvanizing works. The Wheeling (W. Va.) Pottery company is turning out more ware than any time in its history, and the Warwick pottery, at the same city, is away behind with its orders. ' September was the best month of the year with the West Virginia glassworks at Martin’s Ferry In Indian*. Greentown, near Kokomo, has two new factories in operation—a pressedbrick works and a tableglass factory, the latter amploying 200 hands. All Kokomo factories are busy, and there are no idle men in town. The Mcßeth lampchimney works at Elwood has put on its night force, now running day and night There is no thought of a cut in wages. At the McLoy factory, Elwood, lampchimneys are being turned out at a rate never before equaled in the history of the factory. The. Elwood steam forge works has started up with 300 hands. The Elwood windowglass works has started with a full force. The. iron works and radiator plants at Elwood report increased activity. The Diamond Plateglass plant at Elwood is working fullhanded. The new glass factory, to employ 150 hands, at Windfall, is completed. At Alexandria the Depauw glassworks started Monday with 800 hands. The glass strikers in the Lippincott works. Alexandria, gained their point. Every windowglass plant in Anderson is in operation today for the first time in the past nine months. The wiremaking record at the American wire nail works of Anderson was broken last week. During the six days' run of 24 hours each 925 tons of finished wire were turned out. The plant is in full operation, and has 700 men on the payroll. Ground is being cleared this week and excavations made for the new Wright shovel works in North Anderson and the Riverview Agricultural works in Irondale. Three hundred pressers at Ball Bros.’ fruit jar factories at Muncie resumed work Thursday, but not at a reduction of wages. They have been idle several months, and the firm several times announced that they could not resume at last year’s wages, but they did. On last Monday morning the Indiana Iron company started all departments of the big mill, and now this company has over 700 names on the payroll. This is the concern that moved from Lancaster, 0., to Muncie.

JUST TO THE SOLDIERS.

The Grand Army Gazette Praiaea the Administration. This administration, and Judge Lochren’s bureau especially, has done everything for the veterans that honor and justice demanded or could ask. If it set aside some unworthy pensioners, it gave the best of reasons for so doing. These reasons were not hearsay but official government records showing that the grossest favoritisih in rating and rerating had been practiced by the Tanners, Raums, Squires and others, and the action taken in those oases should have been approved by the Grand Army encampments, not condemned as showing “hostility to Union veterans.” We confidently predict that the administration of the pension bureau under Comrade Lochren will stand forth in history as one of the wisest and fairest and most just; that it will never be smirched as were those two that preceded it, and that so long as such official action is continued at Washington it will be deemed an honor to be on the pension roll of the Union.—Grand Army Gazette.

He Was Benedict Arnold of pnravory Memory. When General Benedict Arnold, lured by British offers, sought to betray into the hands of the enemy the important strategic point which he commanded, and fled to their lines, he addressed a proclamation to the officers and soldiers of the continental army in which he holds up to reprobation the conduct of the body governing the republic, saying: And should the parent nation (England) cease her exertions to deliver you what security remains to you, even for the enjoyment of the consolations of that religion for which your fathers braved the ocean, the heathen and the wilderness?

DO YOU EVER THINK

Of the New Tax Law’s benefits to You Personally ? And of How the Bailroads are Made to Help You Pay Taxes? Compxriion of the Aaaeumenta on Railrood Property Under the Qld and New Law»—Railroad AaeeMmenta Increased More Than 100 Per Cent, With a Corresponding Saving to Other Taxpayers. Did it ever occur to you to note what the new tax law had done in your county to increase the assessment of railroads and to compel them to pay their just share of the taxes in your county? Did it ever occur to you that the average increase in railroad assessment was 135 per oent under the new law? Did it ever occur to you that under the new law the railroads are paying double the taxes that they did m 1890 and that the extra amount they pay is just so much taken off the burdens of taxation resting on the farmers and other taxpayers residing in your county? If you have never done this it is well that you should do so for the fate of the new tax law is at stake in the approaching elections. The Republican party is pledged to repeal thia law if it gets the power. In other words the question is put to the people of Indiana whether they will take <91,000,000 of railroad property off the tax duplicate, - and lose thereby the taxes on that amount, every bit of these taxes being placed upon the people of the state. It is a question whether the railroads or the farmers shall pay taxes on this <91,000,000 of property. It is a very easy matter by the aid of the figures appended to determine just how much taxpayers of each county would be called upon to pay us a result of a fulfillment of the Republican pledge to make this donation to the railroad corporations. Just note the increase in the assessment under the new law, then take the rate of county taxation and compute the size of your county’s gift to the railroads and the amount of your share in that gift. The figures will prove startling. The assessment of railroad property in the various counties in the state under the old and the new laws was as follows: Railroad assessment by counties of the state of Indiana for 1890 (old tax law) and for 1891 (new tax law).

THESE DEMOCRATIC TIMES.

MORE REPUBLICAN TESTIMONY IS PRODUCED. Showing That the New Democratic Tariff Is Rapidly Bringing About a Return of Prosperity All Industrial Enterprises In Indiana Enjoying a Veritable Boom The Outlook Was Never Better. The Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette continues to bear testimony to the business revival which has followed on the taking effect of the new tariff law. In its Sunday edition appear these headlines, among others: THE INDUSTRIAL SOUTH. CONTINUED EVIDENCES OF PROSPERITY. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS OF OIL INDUSTRIES. NEW ENTERPRISES CHEATING A DEMAND FOII LABOK IN WHEELING. IN BUCKEYE - FACTORIES. A GENERAL IMPROVEMENT NOTICED AMONG DAYTON INDUSTRIES, The Indiana division of the Commer-cial-Gazette’s industrial page is especialS' interesting.

MANY OF THEM AT ELWOOD WHERE ALL 16 ACTIVITY AGAIN. Muncie, Ind., Oct. s.—The payroll of tile several manufacturing concerns in Muncie last wook by far exceeds any week in the history of the city. The Muncie Iron and Steel company is preparing to add six fnrnaoes to its plant, giving employment to a large number of hands. At Albany the papermill, two glass factories, furniture factory and all others are running full time. Eaton, north of Muncie, reports great prosperity among the several manufacturing concerns. The Early, Jones & Baur Windowglass company is running full force. The Ames buggy works, with 25 hands, the Bartlett ooilhoop works and the Standard washboard works, each with about 25 hands, are running full capacity. The Excelsior factory and the Eaton pulley works are other important industries that are working many hands. The shoe factory at Daleville will soon be ready for a large force of hands. LIKE YE OLDEN TIME. 4

GENERAL RESUMPTION OF ALL INDUSTRIAL KNTEBPUIBES AT ELWOOD. Elwood, Oot. 6.—During the week just past abundant indications of returning prosperity have been manifest and the outlook is decided improved. There are not enough houses in the city to accommodate the workmen. The Elwood steam forge works will be running at full capacity by Oot. 15. Thursday morning the last of Elwood factories resumed operations. The Nivison & Wieskopff bottle factory is steadily increasing its force. At the Holland radiator works a steady increase in payroll is reported. The Elwood hoop factory is unable to supply the demand for its product and will increase its plant. At the Mcßeth lampohimney plant things are being rushed at a rate wholly unknown before in the history of this factory. At the W. R. MoCloy lampohimney factory several new hands have been added. AT OTHER POINTS. The glass business is looking up materially in Frankton and it will not be long until every industry in the place will be running. Indications are also very favorable for the location of an immense iron foundry and machine works at Frankton to employ a large number of men. Next Monday the Lippincott Glass company at Alexandria will put on an extra force of 20 shops, thereby giving employment to 80 or 100 additional men. Nearly 600 men are now at work at the plant. The situation at the other Alexandria factories may bo summed up as follows: The Alexandria Windowglass company is now employing 25 additional men and business is encouraging. At the plateglass plant of the DePauws the 800 men are making things hum day and night. The Kelly ax factory at Alexandria, has added between 75 and 100 men since last week tq its force, and is behind with its orders. The new waterworks system la being completed rapidly, and ems ployment is given here to a large force of men at remunerative wages. . The Anderson Coil Horn) company was organized in this city Wednesday. In all departments about 60 men will be employed. The contract was let Wednesday afternoon for the construction of the buildings for the new Buckeye Manufacturing company,s steel casting works at Anderson. The entire plant will employ 400 men. W. P. Collum, Jfohn A. Magee and Porter Haskell, all of Clarion, Pa., have closed a lease on a big tract of land at Alexandria for the purpose of building a tinplate plant. The plant they propose to erect will employ 250 men, and will be put into opewd<>n abont the first of February, Tho tinplate manufacturing company that located in Anderson two weeks ago, and which has been known as the OMattler company,” was incorporated Tuesday. The corporation will be known as the National Tinplate company. The company will erect the largest tinplate plant in the United States, with terneplate and steel rollingmill combined.
