When we speak of certain men a.

This is q Republic. We are all equal.
Such thing US king in this country

Yet the name is all that is wanting.
There are men in this country who
have every attribute of king except
the name. Like kings, they derive
their revenues from taxes on the people.
Like kings, they control legislation.
Like kings, they are masters of the

For the Benefit Of the WOrkingman.

For the Benefit Of the Workingman.
John Roach Is great protectionist.
He has used his influence for many
years at Washington to perfect the sys-
TEN of taxation under which he holds .
virtual monopoly Of his business Of
building ships. It is never for his own
interest that he advocates high taxa
ton. Not at all. 1t is for the sake Of
the dear workingmen. In this strain
we find him defending the duty on iron
ore before the Tariff Commission:
When we have the iron shall we now leave
1t in the mines undevclopcd and depend on
foreigners to supply u material Of SO vast inn
portancc 10 us, aud with no other reason to
give only that we refuse to degrade and
crush labor
But, alas for human consistency! We
find the same John Roach testifying be-
fore the Ways and Means Committee
last week that he had imported &C, 200
tons of Spanish ore. This is the reason
he gave for the course which, in tho
above remarks, he had SO fervently de-
denounced:
Mr.. Hewitt-What is tina. ore worth in
Spain!
Mr.. Eoach-It Il not worth in Spain more
than 81 50 Il ton.
Mr.. Hcwitt--Ihcn its cost Stated at $3.50
il mos " freight Is II.
Mr.. Eoach-I do not care what 1t IL. It
does not 20 into the pockets OF the working
men in this country.
Mr.. Iicwitt--As none Of 1t goes into the
rocacts OF tho worxin men OF this country
viii YEN teii us why son nv foreign ore?
Mr.. keach--My answer TO that quest on Is,
lug /, bccaus. il is the cheapest.
The New York Herald was quick to
detect this hypocritical discrepancy and
to twit Mr.. Roach with it. He replied
that the quantity of ore he had bought
was not sufficiently large to affect the
market and was too ridiculously small"
to help the protection of American
labor. But lie is not to get off so
cheaply as this. Our census returns
show that each man employed in the
mines produces a5l tons a year. The
GO, 1000 tons of Spanish ore imported by
Mr.. Roach would have kept 80 men
busy for year. Counting four people
40 dependent on each miner for sup
port, the importation of Mr.. Roach
took the living out 100 American
mouths for year. This incident is a
capital illustration of the thorough in
sincerity Of the pretenses by which the
bosses fool the workingmen into believ-
ing that protection is maintained for
their benefit.-Chicag0 Tribune.

ment, which touches them in their most
vital parts---thcir pockets. it was so
severe blow to them that they were
stunned for day or two. Tho first
shrek of pain is uttered through the
columns OF tl,s New York Herald, in or
article which VIC reproduce in another
place. 1t is filled with tie most fan
taa.c fo-ebodings, whicl, are conjurcd
up in spi it Of spite. It is contended
that tho decision "opens tho way to all
kinds OF visionary and dishonest
schemes, and strife, u blow ut
the reputation of TIE country md
tho rectitude Of tho people" It is in
timated that tie credit of the Go:ern-
ment will be impaired abroad. 1t is
charged tha. the Supreme Court "an-
thorizes rs {, do all manner OF dishon
est acts. All this il rank nonsense.
The Supreme Court has said, what it
had already said before, that the legal
tender issue WAS constitutional and
valid. Ii il had held to the contrary,
il would have created confusion and a
disnay wllic,i might have led to panic,
and it would have brought its own au-
thority into contempt by reversing its
previous decision. Further than this,
the Supreme Court has said that the
American Congress has the same right
| in the future which it has exercised in
the past, viz. to determine tho exigency
which shnll authorize an issue Of treas
ury notes and impress upon them a
quality of legal tender. II the Supreme
Court had denied this, it would have
placed itself in the position Of confirm
ing rs lawful certain Congressional
act which is past and denying the legal
it, of similar act in the future. This
would be an entirely new and very dis
graceful method of constituting the Con-
stitution. As it is, the Supreme Court
merely aflirms that the United States
Government possesses the same power
exercised by other constitutional gov
ernments. That power has not made
them dishonest: it certainly does not
follow that it will make the American
Government or the American people
dishonest. All there is to it is, that
tho goldites have been thwarted in their
dishonest cndeavor to swindle the people
through tho assistance of the Supreme
Court.-ChicdJ0 Tribune
