WHAT All BEN THINKS.

Gen. HARRISON claimed in a recent
speech that. by reason of the protect
i've tariff, wages were higher in the
United States than in any other coun-
try. Here are his propositions:
That the condition of the wageworkers of
America is better than that of the wagework-
ers of any other country in the world. l do
not say il is as good as il ought to be. / do
not say that we have hit upon any govern
mental policy that makes the condition of
the workingman an ideal condition. But.
speaking comparatively, l do declare-and
might safely call out of this audience many
Germans who have worked i'll Germany and
in Fort WAYNE and many lrishmen who have
worked in Ireland and in England and in
Fort Wayne, and put them upon the witness
stand to support what have Said-that there
is a better chance, there is a better living.
there is better hope for the workingmen i'll
America than IN any other country in the
world. Now, if that be true, il is important
that each should find out why 1t is so, and
especially that each one OF you should de-
termine for himself what effect protective
tariff has had and is likely to have upon his
wages and his prosperity.
COnceding for the sake of argument
that the tariff affects beDeficially the
wages of those engaged in manufacture
ing industries, it certainly does not
build up the wages of those employed
in the ''unprotected' pursuits and call
ings. Manufacturing does not cOnsti-
tute all the industries of this country.
There are thousands upon thousands of
our people engaged in commerce, whose
services to the state-are just as valu-
able, and whose necessities are just as
worthy of consideration as if they were
engaged in making iron ships and WOODEN
blankets. The commercial, as distin-
guished from the manufacturing in

GOOD TARIFF AUTHORITY,

There is no man in this country who
ought 10 be more familiar with the
effect of tariff legislation than HUGH
MCCULLOCH. His long experience as
chief of the treasury department under
LINCOLN, JOHNSON and ARTHUR entI-
ties his opinions to respect. The fact
that he has been a Republican since the
first organization of the Republican
party gives all the more weight to the
tariff views he now expresses, because
he feels impelled to take issue with
his party on this question. In his
''AIen and Measures of a Half Century"
just published, Mr.. MCCULLOCH writes
of the effect of a reduction of the tariff
as follows:
''That the reduction of duties to the
revenue standard would affect injuri-
ously mechanical ann manufacturing
labor in the United States is not be-
lieved by many who have carefully and
disinterestedIy considered the subject.
High duties are prejudicial to the
laboring classes by increasing the
cost of goods with which they
must be supplied. Wages are now
higher in the United States than
in other countries, but so is the eX-
| pense of living. Steady employment is
becoming as uncertain in the United
| States as in Europe, and strikes are
more frequent and persistent here than
! in any other country.
"There has never been so much dis
! content among manufacturing laborerS
| in the United States as there is now,
when protection, in the opinion of its
friends, is doing its perfect work; when
the duties on many articles are equal to
| the cost of the labor in producing SINH
lar articles by our own manufacturers.
Wages depend upon demand and sup
ply, and they will steadily decline in
the United States in consequence of the
foreign immigration.
Humane considerations are not apt
to influence the action of business men.
There is free trade in labor, and our
manufacturers will employ, if they do
not import, cheap labOrers from the
| other side of the Atlantic, until wages
! approach pretty near to the European
standard. The outlook for labOrers in
the manufacturing districts of the
United States, if no check is put upon
immigration, and no new markets are
opened for our manufactured goods, is
the reverse of encouraging.
"With due respect for the opinions of
prOtectiOnistS,I CANNOT SEE now THE
COUNTRY CAN CONTINUE TO BE HIGHLY
PROSPEROUS, AND PEACE AND ORDER
CAN BE MAINTAINED IN THE MANU-
FEATURING DISTRICTS, WITHOUT THE
ADMISSION, FREE FROM DUTY, OF THE
RAW MATERIALS which are needed by
our manufacturers, NOR WITHOUT A
REDUCTION OF DUTIES UPON MANY
ARTICLES which are in general use.
The real danger which threatens the
country, and especially the manufact-
uring interests. is not reduction of
duties to the revenue standard, but the
necessity which may exist for so high
duties for revenue purposes as will pre-
| vent free international exchanges"

Merchants METHODS.

Does Mr.. MERRIAM realize that he is
in tight place, or is he only following
in the line OF his political education,
that he confines his gubeTnat0rial can
vaSS strictly to commercial basis. He
has abandoned all the Old-time methods
of electioneering and has thrown to the
winds all the time-honored principles of
political campaigning. The tradition
which is old as American politics, and
so old as to have obtained the sanctity
of law, that candidate for high pub
lie office must show himself to the peo-
pie and give them an opportunity to
know something of the stuff that is In
him, is more hOnOred by Mr.. MERRIAM
in the breach than in the Observ-
ance. He studiously avoids pub
lie gaze, fails to put in an
appearance at meetings where he is adj
vertised; and when he does 90 out into
the state his movements partake more
of the characteristics of one employed
in a secret detective service than of one
who is candidate for the high and
honorable position of chief magistrate
of q great state.
1t is not for the purpose of criticising
Mr.. MERRIAM'S peculiar campaign
methods that the GLOBE alludes to
them in this connection, but simply to
call attention to the tactics which his
managers have adopted, in order that
the people of the state may know what
is being done in political circles, and
they are then to be left free to draw
their own conclusions as to the re-
suits. We have said that Mr.. MERRIAM
has confined his canvass to a strict COM
mercial basis, which includes every
thingin the way of a trade or bargain
that can be struck. His managers, who
are in supreme control of the state cam
paign, organized the Republican can
vasS in Minnesota upon the theory that
the MERRIAM express must have a clear
track and everything else sidetracked
until it ran through. We use railroad
terms in this connection because the
MERRIAM managers are most familiar
with them. The policy of sub0rdinat-
ing everything and everybody to the
MERRIAM canvass was strictly adhered
to until the track was clear. Then it
Decalne dppdr6H6 lIldG lilo MERhlAM
train could not be run through on
schedule time without more steam, and
more steam could not be had without
more fuel. 1t IS the work of collecting
fuel that his managers are now industri-
ously engaged in.
The first thing in the shape of fuel
that the MERRIAM managers lighted on
was the so-called Labor party. In the
twinkling of an eye IGNATIUs DoN-
NELLY and ERIC OLSON were splin-
tered into kindling wood and chucked
into the MERRIAM locomotive. There
wasn't enough bacon fat in this combi-
nation to fry the meat, so the steam
generating process was not helped
along. The rotund form of our jolly
Teuton friend, Capt. BURGER. was
more tempting, and they have COM
menced to slice him up. Another move
was to cultivate a reform organization
in the Democratic ranks, with view of
making it an evening edition of the Re-
publican party. Still the progress
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1888-10-16

toward getting up MERRIAM steam was
slow, aud the managers have actually
gone to work to sacrifice every Republi-
can candidate who will make fat
for Mr.. MERRIAM's fire. 1t is
an open secret that Capt. SNI-
DER goes about the streets bewailing the
sacriticial tinge the MERRIAM managers
have given to his candidacy. Down in
the Second district they tell JOHN
LIND that he has majority enough at
his back to lend them 5000 or 1900
votes for trading purposes. 1t is
whispered around up in the Fifth dis
trict that the MERRIAM managers are
dickering with the farmers, and have
actually expressed a willingness to
trade off COMSToCK in exchange for
granger votes for MERRIAM, And thus
the barter goes on from one end of the
state to the other, and all over the state;
and everywhere the same policy pre-
walls of binding everything captive to
the car wheels of the monopoliStic
gubernatorial candidate.
Mr.. MERRIAM's methods may win.
And then they may not win. We have
simply explained them to the voters, and
it is with them to determine whether
such methods shall succeed or not. -

BROTHERHOOD SCHEMES.
They Will Be Unfolded at the
Richmond Convention.

PITTSBURG, Oct. IA large number
of delegates were in the city to-day en-
route to the twenty-fifth annual conyen-
ton of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, which meets at Richmond,
Va, Wednesday. One Of the dele
gates, in speaking of the election of
officers, said: "Chief Arthur's term of
Office holds over for another year, and
the only election this year will be for
first grand assistant engineer. 1t is
quite likely that Mir. Hayes will be re-
elected" The delegates stated that
among the important business to be
considered was that of the proposed
confederation of the engineers with the
firemen, switchmen and brakeman.
None of them would make any pre-
diction as TO what action would he taken
by the convention, though they agreed
that it was matter would receive
special attention. This years cOnven-
ton will be particularly watched by
railroad men OF all classes throughout
the country, as it will be the first to be
held since the federation scheme has
been discussed as the outcome of the
Burlington strike. If it is decided that
such combination probable, it would
bring all employees on the railroads to-
gether to work in harmony on all q1eS-
tons that arose, and which have hereto
fore been left for each class of employees
to settle without cooperation with the
Other classes of employees.

DUNNELL'S RECORD.
What He Is Afraid to Discuss
With Wilson.

Special to the Globe.
WINoNA, Oct. 15-"Dunnell is afraid
to face his own recori" is an expression
to be heard on every side in the discus
sions that take place as to his refusal to
permit Congressman Wilson to refer to
his public record in the proposed joint
debates. Were he to permit this, there
is but little question as TO the desertiOn
from him of every vote (barring the eX-
officeholderS) that he now holds through
false pretenses. TWAS OH Jan. 30, 1879,

gress had presented to it for adoption

for its own protection. The laborers of
the West had particular reasons for de-
string it.

TALES DO NOR TALLY.
Contradictory Testimony Ad-
duced at the Inquiry Into the
Mine Run Horror


Mine Run Horror.
MAUCH CHUNK, Pa, Oct. 15.-The
corOner's jury investigating the Mud
run accident resumed its session this
afternoon. James Harrigan, the brake
man on Section 4, testified that he went
back with red and white lights and tor
pedOes, but said he never knew Of the
rule which required brakemen to go
back half mile, and did not think it
was necessary to walk that far. When
he got beyond the platform of the sta
ton he heard one long whistle. and
thought 1t was an answer to his flag,
but when he saw the train coming at
what he judged to be twenty miles an
hour. he tagged them again. Henry
Cook, the engineer of the first engine,
testified that he was running at the
rate of twelve or fourteen miles an
hour, but saw no signals at the station.
" men rounding the curve he heard two
blasts from the engine behind him,
which signlfied ''all right" and he went
on, coming to the station at ten miles an
hour. When still nearer to the station
ne saw white signal being swung yiO-
ienIly across the track, and applied the
brake 10 his engine, but it was then too
late to avoid the crash. He declared
positively that if Engineer Major, of the
rear engine, had applied the air
brakes the train could have been
stopped, but instead Major pulled open
the throttle when within a quarter of a
mile of the station. Other witnesses
testified that the train which ran into
the forward section was running from
fifteen to twenty-eight miles an hour,
and one witness who was on the fourth
section says he saw the red light being
waved 200 or 800 yards back of his train.
Most of the evidence Of passengers on
the two sections cOrroborated each
other in declaring that the train was
running at high rate of speed and that
the proper danger signals were dis
played. Officers of the road gave i'm
material testimony and the coroner adj
Journed the hearing until Wednesday.
The coroner's jury taking testimony
In the Mud Run wreck went to Bethle-
hem Saturday and took the testimony of
Joseph Pohl, fireman on the engine that
ran INTO the fourth section, and who is
at present receiving treatment at St.
Luke's hospital for injuries sustained
In the accident. He stated that he was
sitting in the engine looking out of the
cab, and that he saw the white target
and afterwards called to the engineer
that everything was all right. He then
rested his head on his hands, and the
next thing he heard was the whistle for
down brakes, saw the engineer put his
hands on the lever, but could not state
positively whether he turned it or not,
after which he jumped from the train,
falling down the embankment and re-
ceivlng broken leg. He also stated
that he had been on duty from o'clock

DEATH OF COL. j. NJ. BARRETT.

The death of Col. JOHN NJ. BARRETT,
of San Francisco. at the Clifton hotel
last evening, was the sudden termina-
ton of useful life, and produced a
great shock to the friends who had
made his acquaintance during his brief
Soiourn in our city. Col. BARRETT was
one of the best known newspaper men
of the Pacific coast, and gentleman Of
superior intelligence and rare ability.
For many years he was connected
with the New Orleans Picayune, and
was at one time the Washington cor
respondent of that paper. About
ten years ago lie went to San
Francisco and assumed the editorial
management of the Examiner. and has
ever since retained a connection with
that paper. He left San Francisco in
the early part of the summer to travel
with his invalid wife. About two
months ago he came to st. Paul, and,
finding the climate beneficial to Mrs.
BARRETT'S health, he decided to re-
main during the autumn. Being man
of industrious habits and fond of his
profession, he accepted a position on
the editorial staff of the GLOBE during
his temporary sOjourn in the city, and
had been associated with this paper for
the last month. When he went home
from his Office last Tuesday night he
was complaining of cold and a pain
in his chest. Pneumonia set in the fol-
lowing day, and he died last night at
$50 o'clock.
While he was a gentleman of most
brilliant requirements, Col. BARRETT
was noted for his modest demeanOr and
exceeding amiability of character. He
was a gentleman from instinct and
culture in all the graces which adOrn
true nobility of character. He was an
industrious newspaper worker, and
faithful in all the relations of life. The
GLOBE regrets his loss, and extends to
his stricken widow and PARKWAY friends
the tenderest sympathy in their sore
bereavement

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, Oct. 10
Fong Tang, converted Chinaman,
age twenty-seven, without queue, and
dressed in English clothing, accom-
panied by his English wife, age twenty
two, from Toronto. arrived here from
that city this afternoon, EN- route for
New York. The customs authOri-
ties Oh the American side stopped
them, and would not allow FOng
Tang to enter the United States, al
though it was permissible for his wife
to do so. But she would not 90 on with
out her husband. FOng Tang, being q
British subject by naturalization and a
Christian, had thought he would I'M
doubleday have the same privileges as
other British subjects. He speaks En-
glish well. He came from Canton,
China, to San Francisco twelve
years ago. He lived in the
United States until five years
ago, when he took up his
residence in Toronto, and engaged in
the laundry business. AT Bible class
there he met Miss Sadie McEmber,
whom he subsequently married. Mrs.
Tang told her story, when able, between
sobs. They were told at Toronto that
they could get through all right Her
husband found business in his line dull
in Toronto, and her father, Myers
McEmber, of New York, who owns a
cigar and tobacco store in that city, and
who is an old man, wished them to
come and live with him, when he would
give the store to Fong to make a living.
The old man wished them to come at
once, as Mrs. Tang's mother was dyinL
of consumption and wished to see h =
daughter. Her father and mother we NJ

was child. They lived there unit
about four years ago. when they move A
to New York. They were visited ~

in this campaign. He started into the
canvass bearing standard emblazoned
with the legend, TRUSTS are private
affairs, with which neither the presi-
dent nor any private citizen has a right

he shifted the scene, and now
processes to believe that trusts
have a place in national cam

cry trusts were pictured as the off
spring of Republican tariff and too
sacred for Democratic hands to soil. On
his Western-painted scenery they are
portrayed as a mOnstroHs creation of

by Eastern capitalists why he shifted
the scenery so rapidly he will give
