Voters Who Haven't Sent Congratulations

It is reported that Major McKinley is in receipt of many congratulations from outside of his own state upon his election. But there are quite a large number of people in the different States who are not assaultingthe telegraph offlce or overloading the mails in their eagerness to send their congratulations to the great apostle of protection. Among those who would be glad to congratúlate him and testify to the beiefits of protection, but who really don't feel that they would be justitied. may be mentioned the following: The 10,000 Pennsylvania miners who recently went out on a strike because their wages were cut down 10 per cent. The pottery-workers of Trenton whose wages have been cut 22 per cent. The ribbon weavers of Paterson whose wages have been cut 15 per cent. The spinners of Lowell whose wages have been cut 3 cents per hundred sincc the McKinley bill went into force. The coal miners of Illinois whose wages have been reduced from 40 to 60 cents per ton. The employés of the Buckeye Keaper works wlio have suffered a reduction oí 30 per cent. The employés of the Otis Iron and Steel companies of Cleveland, whose wages have been cut 30 per cent. The Hopedale weavers whose income has been redueed 2 cents a yard. The Cocheco weavers whose wages have been cut 4 per cent. The 2,500 employés of the Crown Iron company, of Allenton, whost wages have been cut 10 per cent. The 600 Providence weavers who struck against a proposed reduction and lost three inonths' time before going backto work. The Willimantic spinners whose wages have been cut $1,50 per week. The furaace workers of Cleveland whose wages have been cut 10 percent. The coal minéis of Evansville, Ind.i vvho have been on a long strike. The employés of the Jacksonville, (111.) Underwear company, who struck against a reduction. The Lewiston cotton workers, who do not like even a reduction of 3 per cent. The hatmakers of Methuen, Mass., whose wages have been cut 25 per cent. The Chattanooga steel workers, whose wages have been cut 10 per cent. The Scranton iron workers who are in the same box. . The Steelton, Bethlehem and Pottstown iron workers. who have been cut respectively 7, 10 and 12 per cent. The silk-workers of Warehouse Point, Conn., whose wages have been cut 27 per cent. The 1,200 brick workers of London, who struck against a 20 per cent reduetion. The engravers and chasers employed by the Middletown Plate Glass company, whose wages have been cut 15 per cent. The cigarmakers of the New Haven Rolling Mili who relused to accept a 10 per cent reduction and went out on a strike. All of these 50,000 or more " protected" workingmen appreciate the great boon conferred upon them by the McKinley bill. Butthe reduction in their wages deemed necessary by tbeir employers to maintain the "principie" of protection, makes them somewhat baekward about sending their cogratnulations to the Major. But there was no such reluctance on the part of their employers, who not only hastened j ward congratulations to McKinley, but I have been shouting for him ever since I last Tuesday at the top of their lunes.
