Show THE WISE WORKMAN Will Look to the Future and Vote the Protection Ticket This Year The policy of Protection is designated desig-nated to givo our manufacturers first consideration In our home market. If tho foreigners wish to enter our market they must pay rates ot duty measured by tho dlfferenco between tho very low wages paid by them to labor and tho wages wo pay to our workmen. That they aro willing to do this to a ronsonnblo extent is proved by tho fact that Hopubllcnn Tariff laws, with out Injuring American industries and putting laboring men out of employment, employ-ment, have been uniformly adequnto rovenuo producers. They hnvo given our workmen Jobs nnd havo not Subtracted Sub-tracted from tho pay checks by levying levy-ing direct taxes. Tho Democratic argument of goods for goods, Is unsound, under tho prevailing pre-vailing difference In labor costs. Let tho foreigners tako our goods and hnlnnco tho account with cash. Tho man who seels groceries may pay out part of his net profits for clothes, rent, etc., but ho would hi a poor business man who could not mako Ills business credit him with a bank account. ac-count. , If Amorlcan manufacturers can bo nssured of tho homo market thoy can proceed confidently to tho conquest of forolgn markets. This means that they can kcop tho mills going at full blast. Keep labor continuously employed em-ployed nnd the resulting higher efficiency effi-ciency will mean hotter wnges and bigger dividends nnd thousands ot small stockholders should apprcciato this. If the ruunlng at full cnraclty results re-sults lu tho piling up of a surplus, let our manufacturers soil it abroad, at reduced prices lf necessary to capture cap-ture foreign trndo. It will hurt" nobody no-body but our competitors nnd trado has not yet reached tho philanthropic stago. When commercial wnr and actual war havo ceased, wo will disarm and havo Freo Trade, but tho tlmo Is not yet. Hiding tho arrival of that Utopian Uto-pian period, it will bo good horso senso to havo a party In power which will Protect American Industries nnd uphold American honor, nnd that party Is most emphatically not tho Democratic party. Tho wlso work- men will look to tho future and voto tho Itopubllcnn ticket this fall. Trenton, N. J., Stato Gazetto.' |
