to American industries; under this policy ii
has become an established fact that American
labor receives the highest wages in the world;
therefore, it is fair to conclude that this state
of things, these high wages, are due wholly
or largely to the policy of protection under
which they have grown up. This would be,
we think, the natural conclusion of any rea-
sonable man who approached the subject in a
candid and disinterested spirit. But singular
ly enough Mr.. Manning turns it into an argu-
ment for free trade. After saying 1--WE pay
to labor the highest wages in the world" he
adds:
"Highly paid labor signifies the most eff
cient labor-signifes that high wages are the
most profitable wages, signifies that the high
rate is earned. The highest wages to the la
borer thus involve and imply the lowest per-
centage of labor cost in the product, But,
other things being equal, the lowest percent
age of labor cost in any product is the guaran-
ty that competition is outstripped."
Hence the conclusion is reached that Amer
lean industry does not need protection. This
attempt to distort into an argument for free
trade fact which is plainly and clearly an
argument in favor of protection involves some
curious fallacies. and the conclusion that
American labor on the one hand receives the
highest wages in tho world and on the other
constitutes the lowest percentage of cost in
the product, is on par with the reasoning.
Some minds have no sympathy for such hair
splitting as that. The conspicuous fact is
that American labor does receive the highest
wages IN the world, and it is fact that every
American ought to hope and pray for the con-

New York Mail and Express
But few persons possess the remotest idea OF
the importance or the newspaper stand within
the precincts Of our principal hotels. Those who
do must admit it is as great an auxiliary as the
chief chef The majority of the habitues of hotels
are inveterate readers They would rather lose all
the tobacco and liquors of the country than sub
NIT to the deprivation of their favorite newspa-
pers. AS rule, the newspapers are always on
file in the reading and smoking rooms of the
hotel, but it Is seldom that the guests avail
themselves OF the privilege of reading there.
Outsiders do that: They prefer to pur-
chase the papers at the stand and
HE themselves to their rooms for an uninter-
rupted perusal. The keeper of one of the stands
yesterday informed reporter that she disposed
of 1000 daily papers in this way. The income
each day, she said, amounted to nearly $73 All
this is not realized by the sale of newspapers,

PRECEDENTs AND CRIME.

The self-constitued apologist for the tally
sheet frauds renews its attack On United States
Commissioner Van Buren, for declining to per-
NIT the defendants to "waive' the case out of
the Sentinel does not quote any law or decis-
ion to sustain its position. It cannot do so.
1t confines itself to general assault on the
court, thus following the advice of an old
attorney to young one who asked what was
the best course to pursue when one had no case;
"deny everything and abuse the opposite side, "
was the reply. The Sentinel evidently has
adopted this rule. Under the startling head
ing, Lynch Law it has nearly column of
defense of the culprits and abuse of the Com
missioner, the gravamen Of the attack on the
latter being his refusal to accept the defend
ants waiver of examination as a conclusion of
the case in his court The Sentinel says this
ruling of the Commissioner is unprecedented,
and in support of the charge quotes from the
Journal as follows:
'"The ruling of Commissioner Van Buren,
was sound and right in law equity and public
morals, though it may be unprecedented for
the reason that the question involved had
never been raised before"
This is better authority than the Sentinel
gives for most Of its statements. Thus en-
couraged, it adds: owe say it is unprece-
denied, the Journal says 1t is unprecedented,
everybody says it is unprecedented" That is
true. We believe the ruling of the Commits.
sioner was unprecedented-that is, without a
precedent. But so was the crime unprece-
denied. Every crime has a beginning and
every precedent an origin. OF course no
precedent can be found to govern the action
of court in dealing with crime that has no
precedent. The alteration of the tally sheets
was crime unknown to the common law, or
to the trainers Of our Constitution or code,
and they did not provide for it. 1t is new
crime, and requires new treatment-a crime
without precedent. and, therefore, outside
of presidents. Unprecedented crimes require
unprecedented rulings If the crime of alter
ing tally-sheets ever becomes common like
larceny, or violations of the liquor law, the
rulings will be as common, and there will be
no lack Of precedents. For the present we
admit the ruling is like the crime, UMPIRE
cedented. Though as all crimes have their
origin in violation of law and infringing the
rights of society, we insist that all judicial
rulings shouldlook to the vindication of justice
and the public welfare.

THE inherent depravity of inanimate things
led the following bit of foreign, information to
arrange itself under the head 81 Estate News,
in yesterdays Journal:
''The prisons in Warsaw are crowded with An
archists and Nihilists, and continuous arrests
are being made. OF those recently arrested
some have been hanged"
To correct any possible misapprehension aris-
ing from this paragraph. we hasten to say that
according to later accounts, "order reigns in
Warsaw" Indiana. 1t may be added, in this
connection, that when Anarchists and Nihiists
do congregate in the Hoosier town it is highly
probable that they will be hanged promptly.
