FOOD. FOR, THOUGHT, j j The Republican party ,J holds j jt hat Government ought to do all it can to elevate,dignify jand protect labor. It began by enacting a homestead law. This offers a farm to every ! industrious citizen who is willing to cultivate it, and tho effect has been t6 fix a level below which the wages of pgricullural labor can neve be depressed, so long as available public lands remain. By this crreat measure, fully half of all the workers in the country wsrc directly and permanently benefited, forj the owners of farms themselves have se cured homesteads in great number for their children, or for themselves when tempted to reijnove to new States. But this act, in some respects the most important, andl beneficent that has been passed for a quarter of a centur, was carried by Republicans persistent Democratic opposition. The protective tariff was enacted, also, as soon asjthe Republican party trained power to make any law what was 28.3G per cent.,7 Here we have cpta which fairly illustrate the prac tical benefits conferred by the Repub can polity. ' It has enabled the work- of jthe ninety industries in this to secure waires 771 hierher j ers country than workers in similar industries get n Great Britain. And it has enabled he workers of these ninity industries n this .'country to secure wages 28 1-3 er cent higher than they enjoyed in 860, at the close of a long period of emooratie "taxation for public pur poses exclusivelyi"- Do the i workers see in these facts any reason for sup porting j the candidate of the British free-traders ?
