And a leader of the working classes. who gathered around him recently in the city of New York such a number of supporters from the toiling mases. has gone further in the direction of unfettered trade than either the Democratic platform or the chosen representative of the party. the bold and thoughtful President of the United States. That labor leader. Henry George. said: The cry of "protection for American labor" comes most vociferously from newspapers tlt lie under the ban of the printers unions. froin coal and iron lords. who. importing "pauper labor" by wholesale. have bitterly fought every effort of their men to claim anything like decent wages. and from factory owners who claim the right to dictate the votes of men. The whole spirit of protection is against the rights of labor. We thus see from theory that protection can not raise wages.
