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.

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.

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

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

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. Here
they are: Gladiolus, grimace, grimv,

their genoral health and prolilicnoss.
