ITO THEM that hath shall be given
seems to be the principle on which the
Republicans generally act. Not only do
they desire to make the Carnegies and
Jay Goulds richer, and the poor, conse-
quently, poorer;but the Senators at Wash
ington are determined to reduce the sur
plus in the government vaults by giving
it away te those whose circumstances are
such that they clearly cannot be in need
Of congressional charity. An illustra-
ton of this fact was in the donation,
yesterday, by the Senate, of over eight
thousand dollars to the widow of Chief
Justice Waite. For many years-in fact,
since 1874--he had drawn a salary Of ten
thousand dollars a year. With any sort
Of prudence his family would have been
left in good circumstances and the Chief
Justice was never accused of extrava-
gance in his personal pecuniary affairs.
But this is Republican economy and

THE PROTECTION BARoNs.

Our Republican friends propose to give
each and every member of their party
a piece of the "scab" platform adopted at
Chicago, as a souvenir for their faithful
ness to the lost cause. They might also
ornament them with tin tags from the
paupers who have been employed by the
protection barons of Pennsylvania.
A great many miners are employed in
the silver and copper mines of Montana
who have been driven out of the coal
mines on account Of this importation of
pauper labor by these same employers.
Will they vote to reinstate a party which
fostered and protected these monopolistsp
We doubt it.
These same coal barons are nov de-
handing protection. And for whom?
Not their pauper laborers, whom they
hope to still further grind down. Nor
for the working masses. They want
protection for themselves. They know
full well that a Democratic Congress
and a United States Senate, after March
4, 1889, with the aid of Grover Cleveland,
will stop the importation of pauper
labor

DRIVEN TO DESPERATION,

The Inter Mountain" is driven t.
despair and desperation when it says thu
Democrats are opposed to the working
men. 1t we'll knows that it was a Demo.
cratic President who recommended the
establishment of a labor bureau for the
better protection of labor from the
monopolists. 1t was the. Republicans
who gave away millions of acres of land
in the Southwest for the purpose of
building railroads and which were never
built, thus giving away the heritage of
the people which should go to our chill
dren. Thus under a Republican Secre-
tary Of the Interior millions of acres of
land were signed away, while Demo-
cratic Senators, with the aid of a few
honest men like Henderson, Van Wyck,
Jones of Nevada and Hill of Colorado
called a halt. !
What was the result? The Republic
ans in the States where these Senators
lived, beat them for W-election, as the
honesty and the fearless stand made were
not what was wanted by the leaders of
the G.. o. p.
Will the infant industry post itself on
the issues of the day and tell its few
readers how much was stolen under the
last four years of the Republican admin
lstration, and the per centage that has
been stolen under President Cleveland's
administration? Neighbor. you should
practice what you preach; discuss prin-
and not scold or call hard names.

tain" in case Of its not having "got a
copy Of the Spectator still in the Office"
and not objeeting altogether, and on
principle, to quotations which are genu-
inc. Speaking of the Maine elections"
to use the Spectators" phrase, that
journal says: "They show a majority of
10000 for his (Mr. Cleveland's) opponents,
which was precisely their majority in
1884. The deduction, therefore, is that
in the headquarters of Republicanism
and protection the proposal of tariff re-
form has alienated no electors" 1t is
interesting to contrast this accurate
Judgment Of a foreign observer with Mr..
Blaine's grotesque announcement of
almost a political revolution" Mean
while, of course, the actual returns have
reduced the Republican majority consid-
erably below that of 1884, and have
shown that the proposal Of tariff reform
is a sOurce Of strength instead of weak
ness to the Democratic party.

"THE protection that merely protects
goods" says the Philadelphia Record
Qnd.) without protecting the labor that
makes the goods, helps the capitalist
who makes goods to sell. and Injuries the
man who has labor to sell. Competing
foreign goods are kept out of the market,
and competing labor is invited into the
market. The laborer is thereby doubly
defrauded-irst, by a wage rate forced
down by imported competition, and,
secondly, by the increased cost of goods
advanced in price by taxation. The
game of protection is a game in which
Labor pioughs the field and plants the
corn, while Monopoly gathers the har-

Mr.. LOUIS SCHMIDT makes a good turn,
in yesterdays MINER, on the statement
by Chairman McCutcheon in regard to
selling corn for IS cents a bushel and
eggs for 5 cents a dozen in 1857, in con-
sequence Of the low tariff. Mr.. Schmidt
declared that in 1871 he sold corn for 80
cents a bushel and eggs for 8 cents in
Iowa. Mr.. Schmidt, however, did not
charge this to the tariff, but to the law
OF supply and demand. Putting these
two illustrations in the deadly par
allel," it is seen that the low tariff of
1857 was better for the producer than
the very high tariff of 1877. How can
MIR. McCutcheon explain this matter
otherwise?

THE AMERICAN FORESTS.

Arecent article in Garden and Forest
on Forestry in California" contains
some striking statements relating to the
general subject of forestry.
Those persons who are concerned Over
the wantOn destruction of the woods, and
the efforts made to preserve them, may
be surprised to learn that the economic
value of our forest products is noarly
double that Of wheat, nearly treble that
of cotton, more than ten times that of
gold and silver. and forty times that of
iron ore. Yet, "the census, the agricul-
tural reports, the recorded observations
Of intelligent men, as well a the indi-
vidual experience Of every one who has
by travel become acquainted with the
country, show that the consumption and
destruction of our forests now SO far out
run their reproductive capacity that at
the present rate in a few years we shall
have no forests at all, and their vast
crop, valued at $SOO,OOO,OO0 a year, must
disappear from our census books. We
are eating into our capital and providing
for no renewal of it."
In contrast with our "unmitigated
folly" in thus throwing right and left
a property that brings US in $S0O,OOO,OOO.
a year" is the conduct Of European gov
ernments, which maintain their forest
capital unimpaired, and derive from it
a considerable net annual income. 1t is
becoming more and more astonishing
that the American people, who pride
themselves upon cleverness and sharp
ness in business, should treat with con-
temptuous neglect a matter 80 important
this of their forests.
