\ Tribune reporter called on General

tom \ Northern yesterday and greeted
him with the soothing remark
We'll they've struck YOU at last.
''Who's struck Who?9 was the re-
joiner,
why. haven't the engineers and fire
men on your line gone out, and are you
trains?'
Not by a good deal" iThese are
not Mr.. X. s exact words. however J
lit is true" he continued, "that our
old engineers and tiremen went out at
ten O'Clock this morning; but 1t Is not
true that our trains have ceased run
nng.
''Where did you get your new men,"
asked the reporter
This was a leading question, and Mr..
Kenyon put on one Of his quizzical,
knowing looks as he replied:
1t is wonderful how many old engi-
neers and tiremen are out of employ
ment, and have deem working at odd
jods about the country for long time.
They are coming in by almost every
train. But we take none who cannot
stand the tests we apply these men
are not color-blnd OF cross-eyed or one
eyed, either, as some Of your reporters
make it out. They are able-bodied,
competent men. OF we would not hire
them"
But will not the strike affect youl,
business?''
'Possblv. to some extent, until the
public see that we are able to run our
passenger trains OH schedule time. and
| am confident we can do SO from the
start. Our line was only affected
seriously for two days by the G. strieke
Feb. IS and 229-and bv last Sunday

St. Paul daily globe., 1888-09-12
ALIEN LABOR.

In his letter of acceptance, the preSi-
dent accurately describes the causes of
the difficulty with which the working
men are cOntending. This difficulty
consists in the continued importation OF
alien labor to compete with American
wOrkingmen in the mines and mills. An
Illustration of this baleful competition
was commented on in the GLOBE few
days since, when American labOrerS
were discharged at the COShOctOn Ohio
rolling mills to make room for cheap
contract labor brought here from
Europe. The law against this impOrta-
tiOn is apparently of no effect. The
manufacturers and mine owners are de-
termined to have it, and there seems to
be no remedy for these conditions out
side of complete reform of the tariff
laws, as suggested by the president.
These foreign laborerS are attracted to
the United States by the apparently
high wages paid to Americans. The
consequence is, Americans are crowded
out of the mines and mills, and
HungarianS and Italians take their
places. 1t is true that the capitalist
has a perfect right 10 buy his labor as
cheaply as he can, but there is a law
against importing it and to do so is
fatal to the prosperity of our own citi-
zens. Moreover, the unnatural stimu-
los given by the tariff to protected in
| dustries of all kinds has been followed,
as usual, by a period of depression,
which will no doubt continue all
through the severe winter so rapidly ap-
preaching. WOrkmen are being put
upon reduced wages everywhere and in
every department of industry, or are
| being discharged. Labor is ground
! down and miserable because the wealthy
protectionist has been making more
goods or mining more coal than the
! country needs, and is now enjoying him.
self on the immense profits secured
while times were good. He is content TO
shut down his mill or mine, or work
only the cheapest convict labor. Mean
while, a majority of American work
men are idle, and those still employed
are living on reduced incomes. This is
unmistakable outrage. The worst feat
ure of it is. that it is now becoming an
annual occurrence, and the smooth and
natural movements of trade are inter-
fered with by the unnatural operations
of tariff that makes feveriSh activity
alternate with stagnation, poverty and

THE MAINE ELECTION.

If the Republicans can derive morsel
of comfort from the Maine election, they
are welcome to it. The result is bad
showing for protection, considering the
fact that Maine is Mr.. BLAINE's home
state and that the Democratic national
committee made no effort to reduce the
legitimate Republican majority in the
state. 1t was heralded by the Repub-
lican managers early in the canvass
that the protection plank in the Chicago
platform would virtually unity the vote
in the New England states in favor OF
the Republican candidates. What has
been the result? Vermont. the state of
Senator EDMUNDs, has voted, and the
increase i'll the Republican vote was
barely perceptible. Now Maine, the
state in which Mr.. BLAINE personally
led the campaign on the Republican
side, falls fraction short of the major
ity for BLAINE four years ago. If pro-
lection is making no more of an i'm
preston in New England than this,
what a failure it is bound to be as a
campaign issue in states where the pro-
tective system always was unpopular.

GEN. HARRISON'S LETTER.

Gen. HARRIsON's letter of accept
ance, like President CLEvELAND's, is
long enough, both of them being longer
than there was any real necessity for.
And it is a fairly strong argument from a
Republican standpoint in favor of the
protection idea, which is the underly-
ing principle of modern Republicanism.
Gen. HARRISON says in his letter, and
says discreetly, all that can be said in
support of the protection vagary. The
letter is honest, yet it is dishonest. 1t
is honest in its statement that the
Chicago platform means just what
it says in favor of a high
tariff and excessive taxation. Yet it is
dishonest in its attempted explanation
of the st. Louis platform. Gen. HAIR
RIsoN has no authority for saying that
either President CLEVELAND or the
Democratic party propose to go the ex-
tremes in accomplishing tariff revOlu-
ton such as he outlines in his letter.
mentative methods, he has shown HIM
self to be more of demagogue than he
was generally supposed to be. His
fiOundering effort to doctor up his Chi
nese record is scarcely less amusing
than his remarkable omission, to say anys
thing about the free whisky and free
tobacco clause in the Chicago plat
form. He discusses every other feature
of the platform, even down to the mo-
rality and temperance resolution, which
was an afterthought with the Chicago
convention, but is as mum as a clam on
the free whisky and free tobacco prOpO-
sition. And scarcely less amusing is
| his endeavOr to take issue with Mr..
BLAINE regarding the inviOlaDility of
trusts" This is done, however. in
such covering way as to demonstrate
that the party candidate is still afraid
of the narty boss.
