port Cleveland is false, and tliat he
thinks his nomination was a farce,
and that his election would be a
calamity. In an interview Mr. Allen
said:
"Mr. Cleveland came to me when
18 years old, and I told him lie could
make his home here audi gave him
his board. He was an intelligent,
bright young man and I got him a
place in a law firm. He was then
and always has been a strong demo-
crat. As to the stories of his re-
maining home from the war to sup-
port his mother and Bisters (and
here Mr. Allen smiled) there is
nothing in them. lie was always
dutiful and probably helped his
mother. But the brothers who went
to the war did more than (¡rover
did towards supporting the family.
I don't think lie remained home
from the war 011 that account. I

EFFECT OF REDUCTION.
One of the stock arguments of
the tariff reformers is that the tar-
iff needs reduction to such an ex-
tent that it will produce only
enough to carry on the govern-
ment. This is a taking argument,
but it is a specious one. The re-
sult would be this: If the tariff
were reduced to this point, it would
cease to be protective on a large
number of articles. This, in turn,
would lead to a larger importation
of these articles, and this would in-
crease the revenue. So the amount
of money raised would be at least
as great as at present.
„ But this is another point that
these tricksters carefully conceal in
their discussions. Onr imports ami
exports are very nearly equal. So
long as the imports are Ie 9 than
our exports, the difference is paid
for in cash; the result Ls that goli
comes into the eountrv, and rce are
growing richer. If the imports are
greater than the exports, we must
pay cash for ¿he excess; consequent-
ly there is a drain of gold in .Europe
and we are growing poorer as a
Nation. To red nee the tariif means
largely to increase this drain of

Mr. Flint, the head of the firm for
whom the mother of the child wor-
tricts. I11 Ohio in 1SS2 the average
was $24.45, while in nonmanufac-
turing Kentucky it was but $18.20,
and in Ohio itself the average wag-
es of farm hands in the manufac-
turing, northern portion of the
state was $25.9G per month against
$•22.05 in the more exclusively agri-
cultural counties of the eastern por-
tion. The figures are more eloquent
than words in showing what the
republican party has done for labor
011 the farm.
In its twenty-lour years of power
the republican party has openod up
the resources of the whole country
to the laboring man. It has given
him the right to seek a home in any
part of the public domain. It has
vastly enlarged his field of employ-
ment by building up great indus-
tries. through its protection of Ame-
rican manufactures, and by the sa-
me potent agency has at lite same
time prevented the reduction of his
wages to the pati]>cr rates of Euro-
pe. Its present interest in labor is
fairly presented in the minority re-
port of the republican members of
the ways and means committee of
congress upon the Morrison tariff
]jei bill where the report says:
