FREE TRADE AND PROTEC-
TON.

Socialists are absolutely Indifferent
both to free trade and protection;
that is to say, protection as practiced
now and likely to be practiced under
capitalist regime. We hold that
free trade will never be beneficial to
our country, until the principal civ
ilized nations have adopted the ma
tional cooperative system which We
contemplate, bat then it will come
of itself as a matter of course. On
tho other hand, protection is really a
delusion ond q SIRE to the working
man. for our protective tariffs do
mighty little to protect the working
men who are the ones that need pro-
lection, but they protect their en-
ployers. the manufacturers, insure
big profits to them, and thus protect
the private interests of the pluto

SAGE ADVICE.

Henry George declares that he will
support Cleveland as the representa-
tive of the free trade side of the tar
if fight, but cares very little for his
election. He fancies that a discus
sion of the tariff question will do
more than anything else for the econ
omic education of the American peo-
pie, and he cares not so much how
men vote as how they think. We
warn Mr.. George in seasol. The
discussion he courts may make men
think more fayorably of p election,
and that he would regard as calam-
ity. And we advise him not to bring

PENNSYLVANlA'S MINERS

A circular has been issued by the
Executive Council of the Amer can
Federation of Labor in behalf of the
unfortunate and yictimized miners of
Pennsylvania. The situation Of
affairs is thus described:
"The Board of Arbitration was re
pulsed by the Company when it made an
attempt to settle the trouble. The Com
mittee of the workmen then found them
selves face to face with the General
superintendent of the Company who told
them they were fools, liars, damned liars.
that they were beaten and outgeneraled
and, with his Clenched fists III their faces,
told them they We're towards and afraid

the discharge of certain of their officers
and men, providing the Superintendent
would agree that no further discharges
would be made. The promise was made.
and the strike was declared off. The re-
suit can be easily guessed. Wholesale
discharges became the order of the day,
and the strike, that was declared off. was
again renewed.

the Sta es, for it will be easy for his
opponents to show the Illustration
that such free trade is decidedly adj
yantageous to manufacturing States
while it impoyerishes agricultural
ones, and that is an awkward show
ing for free trade in this country.
Finally, we advise Mr.. George to
keeo his mouth closed for Il season.
1t will rest him and give him time
to think over his follies and repent.

BRAVO, BALFOUR r.

When Ireland has gained her Leg
islatlve independence, it will be a
question whether her ablest friends
or he: bittelest foes have done most
to bring about this consummation.
Certain it is that the mean, cOntemp-
tible brutality Of Balfour has done
more to rouse the sympathy Of Eng
fish workmen OH behalf of Ireland
than anything that has been said or
done by Liberal advocates of Home
Rule. 1t is even questionable if his
arbitrary imprisonment and attemp-
ted degradation of Irish leaders has
not done as much for the Home Rule
Cause as the earnest disinterested
work Of such n noble democrat as
Michael Davitt. English workmen
recognize in the men whom Balfour
has thrust into goal in Ireland the
victims Of the same tyranny they are
enduring here and sympathize with
them accordingly. For this Balfour
deserves the thanks of all Home
Rulers. -LOmdon Justice.

NEW HAVEN, MARCH 3, 1888,
DEMAGOGY IN SCHOOL.

Recently we nave noticed III the
New York papers reports OF flag pre-
sensations in the Public Schools of
that city. The presence of the
American flag in in the principal
asscmbl rooms Of the public schools
is not strange thing, for flags have
been used as Il decoration upon special
occasions for years. Butwe read
of an episode in old Grammar School
No. 20, with which, by the way,
some of our earliest recollectons are
entwined, which shows that these
recent flag presentations are mere
excuses to prejudice the budding
minds of the children against the
teachings of their parents, in many
instances, on the subject Of political
economy.
A number Of the members of the
Board of Education visited Grammar
School, No. 20, last week on the oc-
caslon of the distribution Of certiii-
Gates Of scholarship, bringing with
them a large American flag. These
men We're politicians, bankers and
brokers, and their names indicated
foreign birth or parentage. One OF
them, banker named Baltes, in
making the presentation speech, ~
reported in New York daily
warned the children against Social
ism, saying that we had no room ii
America for that or any other ism
except Americanism. 1t seems
however, that demagogism not onl,
has a place in America, but can b,
folsted upon innocent school chill
dren by gang Of hypocritical Off
cials whose everyday business is t.
squeeze profits out of the parents o
the children whose minds they en-
deavor to poison.
And such social parasites are tn,
sort of men who presume to de
nounce the teachings of Socialism in
side the walls of as socialistic al
institution as could we'll exist undel
the present system. Many of the
parents of the children attending
this school are Socialists, and as such
far in advance of the demagogucs
who prated about American insttu.
tons which are suffering from the
incubus of such parasites.
Aside from the brazen impudenct
of these fellows, the denunciation of q
political party in the public schools
is something that should not be toll.
Grated, and is entirely contrary tc
"Americanism" as taught by the
original Americans and the Ameri.
can Constitution.

chief Of the State Bureau OF Labor
Statistics. The circular says that
his recognized ability and unceasing
efforts for the betterment Of the peo-
pies conditions entitle him to the
position, but that that it was only
after the most pressing solicitation
that he allowed his name to be used
for the position. The committee
hopes we favor Mr.. McDonncll's APP
pointment, and requests editorial
notice.
In the first place, then, it seems
that Mr.. Mcdonnell himself opposed
his own nomination; if he is quail
fled to accept such position he is
also qualified to refuse Il nomination,
and if he finally accepted the nomi-
nation on "most pressing solicitation"
it would indicate that some people
who are not as well acquainted with
him as he is himself. are deluded as
to his qualifications or the proprlety
of his incumboncy.
The circular says he is entitled to
the position. We don't know the
rule Of procedure in New Jersey, but
we III Connecticut don't consider
that efforts in behalf of the working
people enfitle anyone to ANYTHING
least of all an appointiye office at the
hands of democratic" or "repub-
lean" politician in the Governors
chair, nor do we believe that Mr..
Mcdonnell would 80 much dcbase
himself as to accept such an appoint
ment. Trade and Labor organiza
tons should be the last to tempt him
to accept a position that his own judg-
ment would prompt him to refuse.
Finally, we must decline to favor
Mr.. McDonnell's appointment-our
favor would do no good; and we
would not follow the alleged example
of the New Jersey labor organiza-
tlons, and tempt il man to act con-
trary to his convictions Of right.
Then, it is not good policy to have
labor agitators accept appointlve
Offices from the creatures of the cor.
rupt political parties. Again, We
are not satisfied, from the reading Of
the circular that there is such unan
Unity among the labor organization!
