THE DECEPTIVE BALLOT.

Nhlle the aSCenuanCy OF eltner
the "republican or democratic
party as q result Of the next election
is not likely to have any great effect
upon the commercial policy Of the
government IN the matter Of custom
duties, the manufacturing capitalists
who are directly protected by high
tariff seem to be in, lined to use their
influence on the voters in their en-
ploy. Among the first to begin
active campaign work in this line
are the iron mongers of the West,
who have combined, or "pooled
their issues and decided to refuse
to pay the usual scale of wages.
Abou. 100, 900 iron-workers will be
affected, and as they are members of
the ANA gamated Association of
Iron and Steel Workers, they will
probably strike, and the shops will
be shut down for an indefinite time.
Meanwhile the idle iron workers
will do as they usually do in such
cases. Some will live upon the pit
lance doled out by the association,
and if they have any savings they
will be called into requisltlon.
Others will migrate and seek work
in some other calling elsewhere, aud
thus add their force to the cOmpetl-
ton that is continually bearing
down the workers. The bosses may
say that they cannot pay the scale of
wages, and they may or may not in
innate that a high tariff would per-
perhaps make wages better, but they
would lie Competition among the
workers and competitor among the
dealers in iron, with pooled manu-
featuring interest, is an excellent
condition Of things for the manu-
facturrrs who have an ambition to
increase their gains without increas,
ing their output.
But what Of the effect of such q
condition upon the workers? They
find their means of subsistence cut
off. They are told that their employers
cannot pay the wages they ask.
They are also told of the effect OF
foreign competition, and the spectr,
of free trade bringing that competi.
ton into closer proximity is held
before them. The workmen ar,
gradually getting poorer and poorer
as the long strike continues. BY
the time the presidential campaign
draws to close they will be ready
to listen to terms, and what terms
are easier than Il pledge to use thell
influence in favor of high tariff and
the party supposed to favor high
tariff and projections Nor is it t.
be always assumed that the workmer
act otherwise than willingly in cast
Ing their vote for this or that party
Their necessities and the supposed
remedy are potent factors in shaping
their "politlcal opinion" and, witt
the assistance Of paid agltators withir
the ranks Of their organization, it il
no wonder the poor fellows come t
believe the ridiculous proposition
that high tariff in the interest O
their employers also protects then
against the competition of the pau
per labor of Europe, and gives then

fnanciers than they. 1t is particu-
larly amusing to Socialists to see
the petit dorgeo1sie wriggle and pray
to the State for protection, Watch
the trusts, gentlemen.
Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1888-07-07

Local political action, or activity,
is what our good comrade "XN" re-
commends in an article on the first
page, and it is what the WoRKMEN's
ADVOCATE has been driving at for
years. Now let the comrades bring
the matter up in their Sections.
Local political signs Of life will tell
in time. But begin.
If it is true that the young En-
peror of Germany is the proposed
victim of assassination, We are pretty
certain that Bismarck has hand in
it. The assassination of the young
fellow would probably bring into
the royal arena the Bismarck dyn-
asty, of which Count Herbert would
make worthy beginning.
That is good idea of the Ameri-
can Section in Chicago, to take hold
of current public questions, and dis
cuss them from the Socialist stand
point, Ind the report which we re-
print in another column about
"Tom's Town Meeting" shows that
the object of the Section in adopting
this mode Of agitation is accom-
plshed.

1t is said that Herbert Spencer, when
asked what fact struck him most forcibly
when in America with regard to that
country. replied: The indifference of
the American people to their liberty"

The Pigeon Flyer,.

Birds are susceptible TO training, a.
we all know, but 1t really taxes our
credulity TO believe the stories told by
Charles Frederick Holder about the
pigeons Of Modena in his new book,
IA Frozen Dragon and Other Tales. "
But they are strictly true for all that
Read what he says: a traveller IN
Modena observed Il youth in pictur-
esque costume leaning out Of the WIN
dow Of a stone tower his face show
ing every evidence Of excitement and
pleasure. In his hand he bore "A long
staff. upon the end of which was a
colored flag, with which he seemed to
be signaling TO some one in the dis
tance. The traveller soon distinguished
several other figures on the roofs OF
various houses in the vicinity, all OF
whom seemed to be answering the sig
nails. Finally all the flags were with
drawn but that held by one man. He
stationed himself upon an emlnonce
on the roof, raised his stall high above
his head. and from about hls feet
sprang into the air q vast Hook OF
birds. Up they rose, higher and
higher into the heavens, waving and
turning. the morning sun gllstenng
upon their varied colors as they cX-
posed themselves in different positions
to its rays.
When almost ont Of sight they
turned, and a meteor Of wings came
rushing down with roaring sound,
and nearing the housotops again
alighted about the tall figure on the
lofty roof. Hardly had this been done
when another figure rose and another
aocl, darted upward. These were pare
white. and resemblcd hecks of sllvcry
cloud as they swept about These
maneuyers were repeated two or three
times, the birds always returning IN
obedience TO the waving Of the flags.
in Modena there are fully 100 ilociIs
of these pigeons, composed of several
hundred birds each, and they have
been bred and trained from the earliest
times. They understand and obey the
signals iust rs soldiers DO on the field
OF battle. Sometimes the whistle Is
used as q signal instead Of the Tag,
and they obey that too Philadelphia
