* . ? VOL. VII. EUROPE'S PAUPER LABOR' How the Tariff Forces it to Swarm to America or StarveThe esteemed Chicago Tribune is satirical in treating a jesting charge that rroteotion is responsible lor the dimmer of cholera. It thus outlines the reasoning by which the conclusion wa8 probably reached: The Hepublican party is responsible for the protective policy. Foreigners in every land luivo heard of the benefits which have been conferred on American labor by that policy, and are flocking here to get the high wages of protection. Among those foreigners are Russian .lews, who are steering straight for New York with cholera germs in their clothes. Were there no Republican party there would he no protection; no protection no iintnigrn'ion; no immigration no cholera germ-. Never mind about the- 'ho'orn. We will drop that. The point is that the high tax -system mu .'uraily stimulates immigration of .1 e'as that is not desirable in excess. It is not tree that sncn foreigners are Hocking here "to got the high wages of Protect ion," for on getting here the. work for starvation wages. J O They are Hocking here because tlm high tariff interruption of trade deprives them of employment in Ku? rope and makes vagrants of tliein. If the/ could remain in Europe to produce a surplus there in exchange for our suiplu of food products, they wou'd not come here to force down wages in our cities and towns; hut when they are pauperized and reduced to vagrancy by McKinlcy restrictions on trade, they swarm across the ocean because, uncertain as are their prospects here, they have in Europe the certainy of starvation, since under the McKinlcy system, Europe is cut off from fair exchange with the food-producing States of the Mississippi Valley. sYo have room in this country yet for millions of immigrants, but forcing them here bv pauperizing and starving them is a great evil. Wc get, them faster than we can assimilate them, and they come here in a condition of such distress that they are ahsolu'cly obliged to work cheap er than any Chinamen who has been a year in America. If the How were natural, they would come with money 8ttl1icient to maintain them until their settlement, but the McKinley system forces them in continually increasing numbers on the American labor market in a condition of such hopeless poverty that they are obliged to work for anything that is offei y n ed them. This the real "pauper labor of Europe" does not remain in Europe. High tariff legislation forces it to America, whore it is brought at once / into competition with the labor win ... ployed by protected corporations. Whatever else the McKinley bill excludes, it leaves the pauper labor of Europe on the free list, and not only leaves it there but forces t to Amerca. -o a oCnmo flfluirn tn Yruner Mr UUIIIU nuviMU iu iuviii'q KiUi."

"Hp True to You SWAY, S. C.,^ WORDS OF CHEERThe Country Congratulated on Results of Recent State Elections. Nkw York, Sept. 14. ?The Democrat National Coniniitte has issued the following address: iika1) ql* a ktk1(8 Dhmockath' National Committkk, 130 5th Avenue, New York Sep. 14 To the people of the Unitea States. The Democratic National Com mitteo congratulates tlio country on the result of the recent State elections in Maine, Vermont and Ar I kansas. In Arkansas the combined opposition, after so many extravagant claims, fell short by over 30,000 of t he votes of the Democracy alone. This has brought dismay to the combination in the South and its manipulators in the North, In Maine and Vermont the contest was conducted distinctly on national issues. The Republican man. agers appealed for votes in those States on the ground that the "size of the plurality would exert a great moral iniluence on the campaign in other States," and that the poll would be "practically our vote for President." Similar appeals summoned to their aid all the potent resources of their national organization with its exhaustlcss treasury and its splendid equipment of orators of national fame. With every favoring force at their command except public opinion. with no organizations opposed save those made up within the States by a minority party which has been ont of power for a .generation and which was unaided from without, iho cami paign of our adversaries for a triumphant test vote, in these States, so carefully planned and so thoroughly and forcibly executed, has ended in conspicuous disaster, Our friends everywhere areen'itied to take fresh courage from these results. They mean that the strong tendency of public sentiment is with the Democracy, ami that the people of the country are preparad to enforce, rather than reverse, the verdict which they rendered in 1890. (Signed) Wm.i.iam F. Hauhitv, Chairman Democratic National . Comuiitte Dox M. Dickinson, Ch'm Campaign Committee. A Frugal People and an Economical GovernmentMr. Cleveland, in his speech at the Thurman banquet, very litly held up to honest scorn tho insult ing derision of "cheap goods" and "cheap people" by McKinley and other champions of an extravagant I government and a tariff for high prices- But perhaps the soundest, and certainly the most pertinent, text in that generally excellent speech is the passage touching the supreme importance of frugality and economy in American life, as virtues commencing in the home of the individual citi/.on and extending to and through the udministrution of the people's public affairs. UI have no fault," said Mr. Cleveland, -'with the accumulation of wealth, and am glad to see energy and enterprise receive their fair reward. But I believe that our government, in its natural integrity, is exactly suited to a frugal and economical, people; aud 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 so cure a thrifty government; and cheap and careful living on the part of individuals ought to enforce economy in the public expenditures." Americans, under the influence of a mot ley and pestilent brood of sophistries and fallacies, have been prone to forget that the source of all wealth for individuals or for the oonimunity is in the spirit of industry and self ; denial, seeking accumulation and avoiding waste, and that there can he no safety for wealth in aggregate or in scvereity where general extrava gance is the rule. Such extravagance has long been a cardinal sin and a consuming affliction of this country. False teachers and false leaders? many of thcin in the highest placeshave for years gone up and down in the land assuring the people that by this or that kind of legislation and bv this or that kind of public ex* penditure they could all bo provided with a sovereign road to competence and plenty without the pains of selfdenial and personal economy* Thousands upon thousands have beon cap r Word, Your Work and Yo I1U lvK DAY S E tivated by such persuasion. And, this largely prevalent frame of mind-' will bo the most formidable obstacle to the work of reform leaders of the | type of Mr. Cleveland, who propose to redeem the country from public extravagar.ee by dispensing with superfluous engagements or enterprises i of government and reducing it to its primary and necessary functions ex- s ercisod on a rigidly economical basis. , Of course, propositions of reform on these lines must he disgusting to peo pie who have come to look upon government .as a cornucopia of bounties and an infallible providence for , everybody's wants uiul for anybody's t shortcomings. Unless these people are cured of their delusion they will make the situation hard for the leaders of any party that mav got into < power hereafter For years they have been fed by demagogues with extra- j vagant expectations and t heir bent is to exact impossibilities of any administration that is elected on the 1 promise of making the government the instrument of positive bencfac. tion . The safest plan on the whole . will bo to make no promise oxcept to abate as far as possible extravagance and wasto in government and every- ' where. I e -?-O ? ' How Do You Pronounce? Correct pronunciation of the , words of the Knglish language is | | not as general as it ought to in those . days of careful education and ol nn- . morons editions of dictionaries. F.ven j public speakers mispronounce a K groat many words, and school teach- ( ers are not free from error in tliis | regard. j | It is well occasionally to go to the dictationary, not only to see that you , know how to spell, but also to see if | the way you have boon pronouncing certain words has the auction of , j tho authorities. One gooi' w, to , learn is to keep your curs pen, mil , j when you hear woril ; renounced differently from your way, jot the, word down until you can consult a ( dictionary. The resu't will surprise' many who thought they were familiar with the correct way. Not long ago a leading newspaper of Chicago declared that Americans are lamentably deficient in pronunciation, and suggested t he use of pronunciation matches as a help to cor rectness. A great deal of amusement can ho had out of such a eontest, and it is really of more impor- ' tance in an educational way than a spelling match, for one talks a great deal more than he writes. Conversation discloses one's deficiency1 in pronunciation, but bad spelling is exposed only by writing. The author of this article was present last summer at a pronouncing match in the great amphitheater at Chautauqua. Thousands of persons were present, and the occasion was enjoyed as much as a concert would have been. Notebooks were in hand all through the audience, and nearly every one followed the competitors very closely to see whether they pronounced as the listener did. Fortytwo contestants took part?most of them bright school teachers from .i. 1 i Ullicil/lll jlcll l.t U1 I lie I'-Ull II l/l V, Hill'. it required one hour and a half to "pronounce down" forty one of them and discover the heat pronouncer of the lot. When only four were left on the platform, two went down on the noun "exile," they having pronounced it "ega-ile" instead of ueksile." One of the remaining two then missed "irrefragable" and "garrulity," which the other pro- j nounced correctly, and so won the pri/e. You will be interested in knowing the words on which the contestants fell, and in comparing your pronunciation with the dictionary.
