Editorial Crosses.

There is probably no class of people who |
do more for charity than editors-and certain |
ly none who get so little thanks for it, No
sooner is a charitable object started than the |
movers of it rush 10 the newspaper offices TO
get the editor TO boom, which they generally |
do. Every boom" however, costs the
editor so much cold cash for we have never
discovered compositors as yet who would
work for nothing The editors local pages
are probably crowded and he is obliged to
put matters that properly belong to that page
in some other portion of the paper in order
TO make room for it. Yet after doing all this
the chances are that some of the parties
whom he has thus favored with number of
his hard dollars, TO say nothing of his time
will berate him as a skinfint because he
didn't head the subscription paper or call his
paper no good because name in one of the
items was not spelled correctly
An editor gets used to most everything in
the grumbling line, and not infrequently after
giving $40 worth of space by his advertising
rates-paying $40 more for composition-an
putting in SIS in time, a total contribution of
SO, he is forced to hear some dead beat,
with saint-like air, who has given 30 cents
and ten cent loaf of cake, lament that the
editor shouldn't have contributed something
to the occasion. If the editor should go into
a store and ask for barrel of flour or a new
suit of clothes as gift the m, reliant would
Immediately secure him and telephone the
asylum. Yet every free item the editor
gives the merchant is so much hard cash out
of his pocket.
Another man whom the editor has to CON
tend with is the one who gives some long ar
tcle of limited or purely selfish interest and
thinks he has done the paper great service.
The editor doesn't want the article. His col
umns are crowded with matters of much more
interest. The article is one that calls for
ten or twelve dollars worth of space and So
in composition, and the copy ten times out of
twelve resembles the hieroglyphics of Egypt
The whole matter is quite likely in the nature
of an advertisement and should be charged
/ q
accommodation the editor publishes the arti-
Gle. He thinks the writer will appreciate
the favor but he has been mistaken in human
nature. Ten chances to one the man comes
in the next day and calls the editor rascal
| because he has discovered an inverted t, or c
or lack of an ly on some adverb If the
editor truthfully remarks that the copy was
pretty rank, insomuch that no one about the
office was able to read it with any degree of
certainty the chances are that the good citizen
will fly into a passion and won't speak TO the
editor for year after. These are a few Of
the crosses that the scribe is called upon to
bear, and were it not for the occas lal sub.

An Honest but Mistaken Free Trader

The Hon. knute Nelson, the Republican
who represents the ri tn Minnesota District
in Congress, and who is an outspoken alvo-
cate of the Free Trade bill is native of
NorWay, whose people, after an unsatis-
factory experience of twenty or thirty years
with Free Trade are now rAridlv tending
toward tariff prot, elton. Mr. Nelson pre-
sumablv came To this country to better his
condition, and IT is hut fair TO him TO assume
that he has succeeded Nevertheless it is an
odd circumstance that the commercial aud
economic policy which has driven 50 many
excellent citizens from Norway to the United
States should at time when it is soon to be
abandoned in MIR Nelson's native land enlist
him among its radical supporters in the land
of his adoption IhHddeiphiG Press.
We endorse every line of the above
language of our Republican contemporary.
We have no doubt that the Minnesota
representative is perfectly sincere in his
opinions. His speech gives plain evidence
that hc was sometime in the past taken
captive by the glittering generalities of
the Free Trade teachers. and considers
their formularies and ma Xims equally bind
ing on all countries. however unlike their
circumstances and their resources. Tn
douhtedly he came to this country to-
better his condition, and we are pleased to
learn he has proSpered. The writer of
this has had good opportunities to learn
why he and others like him left their ma
tive land. Why cannot Norway make
her own cotton goods and other articles
which her people consume: Ii is true
Norway has less varied and comprehensive
reasons for opposing Free Trade than the
United States. But there are reasons
enough why she should have a national
policy which would allow her men of
business and her laborers to supply their
own markets She has cheap water
power. stimulating climate, a nervous,
energetic, capable laboring population,
whose annual wages are surprisingly
small. But she cannot compete
with the enormously rich and CON
ceutrated manufacturers of England,
with which She is compelled to live in
commercial dependence. Never have we
heard more emphatic statement of the
need of protection to their manufacturing
industries than we listened to as spoken
by prominent Norwegian business men
while reviewing with them some of the
resources and opportunities of their eoun-
try. Taking their language uttered in the
sight of their beautiful capital city we
received the same valuable instruction as
we obtain from the following lines of a
writer thoroughly informed as to Mr..
Nelson's adopted State:
The real truth is that Minnesota is now |
suffering the inevitable consequences of an
undiversfed industry. II raises too much |
wheat and not enough of other things, and
has too few manufacturers. The remedy is |
not TO tear down present manufacturing in
dustries. but by juaicious protection to make |
il possible for new ones to be established in |
Minnesota. Then the State would consume |
much larger proportion of its wheat crop
than now, the surplus to send abroad would
be smaller. and the price better"
