The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1877-07-12

A Sail Lake correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune shows the falsity of
the reports respecting the military
strength Of the MormOns. Instead of
the Mormons being able to show 10000
wellarmed fighters, it is doubtful if even
half the number of able bodied men
could be mustered in Utah to day for
any military purpose. The population
of Utah by the census of 1870. was ST.
900, of whom the full normal proper
ton were women and children. The
increase has certainly not been more
than fifty per cent. within the past seven
years, and at that rate the population
would now be 1870, 600. The little rim.
cipality Of Montenegro has 100000 in
habitants, and its fighting force-all
men between l. aud 81 years Of age
Is a, 600. The same proportion Of about
one to eight would give Utah about 16,
900 fighting men Of whom at least one
fourth would never light in the Mormon
ranks.

SINCE our last, the railroad strike
has spread throughout the country,
extending to all the main lines in the
middle and western states. In nearly
all the cities and important places
outside of the city Of New York, the
worst element has come to the front,
and in many Of them serious riots and
great destruction of property have
only been prevented by the prompt
action of the civil and military auth
critics. The strikers holding posses
sion Of all the trunk lines, have refu-
sed to permit freight to be moved
thereon, provisions and fuel have be-
come scarce at many points, manu-
factories have been stopped by vio-
lence or from lack of fuel, and thous-
ands of persons willing to work have
been forced into idleness, and their
families brought face to face with
want and suffering. Millions Of pro-
perty have been destroyed, other mill
ions have been lost through enforced
idleness, q great portion of the conn
try has been one wild scene of terror,
confusion and ~lswlesaness, scores of
lives have been sacrificed, and hun
dreds will yet have to be hung and
imprisoned in vindication Of the out
ragged law, and as a warning to evil
doors in the future. At the present
time the backbone of the strike ap-
pears to be broken, the strikers in
many places appear TO be appalled, at
the results of their misconduct, and
gradually the railroads, backed by
the civil and military Of the states
through which they pass. are again
obtaining possession of their property
But the end is not yet; q spirit of
lswlessness has been unclaimed that
may do much further damage before
it is finally subdued. In the mean
time, the National and State govern
ments are preparing for a final con-
flict, II necessary; all good citizens
are arraying themselves on the side
of law and order, and if needs must.
the lswless element will be crushed
without mercy. This has become a
struggle for law, for government, for
the rights of property. for the rights
of peaceful labor and for theirprotec-
ton every power within the nation
must be brought into requisition.
The peaceful pursuits Of industry,
law, order and decency must be
maintained at any and every cost.

L Will any reasonable man dare just
ify this? The right to tx the price of
their own labor is undisputed, but
what right have they to fix the price
of yoursg What right have they to
seize and hold property not 3eir
own, As much right wcnld the fail-
road companies have u seize1t heir
persons and enforce their labor at
half-price. Every proposition has its
converse. If strikers have the right
to not only regulate their cwn wages,
but the wages of others, by force,
then, by parity of reasoning, thsy,f 10
turn. may be enforced to labor for
halfprice. The result would be the
highwayman's rule, that might
makes right Look at the results
of the present experiment: Allies
that the strikers did notexpect have
come to their aid. Hosts of idle and
vicious men. bent on plumber, came
forth from the foulcst haunts of vice
as champions of labor ; flames lit up
the night, blood runs in the streets,
