A club for ~. sr-. Traders.

There seems To he prospect that the
non. n.importation-of. labor act. after hay
ing been used to bother musicians and
choke of clcrg, men. will have chance
to demonstrate whether 1t is Of any
value for the purpose for which 1t was
passed.
The expressions OF an advance agent
ported to take the places Of the Lchigh
Valley strikers. indicate that the effort
will bc made to bring these men in not
withstanding the law. That the man
ayers Of the Lehigh corporation can
find means to evade the law is quite
possible; that the Belgians would he a
comparatively desirable class Of immi-
grants IL they were not brought here for
the purpose Of keeping down wages Is
also likely enough.
But what u club is put by the action
of this corporation into the hands OF
those who wish To knock down the ar
gument that protection benefits labor !!
Heretofore the condition of labor in the
anthracite regions has been stock argu-
ment against tho tariff. But when to
that is added the present spectacle of n
wealthy corporation putting the price
of coal at a bur,lensome altitude. refus-
ing small proportion Of the advance to
their miners and bringing in foreign
labor TO break down the strike. the posi-
tion Of the prot ctionists in Congress is
perilously weakened.
These things are due to the combina-
tion policy rather than to the tariff but
at the same time, it is shown to be true.
that the greatest danger TO protection
comes from the combinations and pools.

Another Howl.

To the EIiinr ~ TuN itHaALpi
As YOU invite mn expression of opin-
ion In regard To the purchase of the two
toll bridges on Lower White by the
county. I desire 10 say few words.
From what ] can learn there appears
to be "a niger In the woo'l pile" some
where. ! may he mistaken. but ! draw
petition has been circulated IL has been
done In u quit and undcrband manner
only those broachcd whn were thought
to be In favor Of til. purchase while II
should have been circulated generally
Ia ge; the full expression OF the people
as II an attempt would be made to pull
the wool over the eyes Of the County
Commissioners and have them pay an
eSorbi,ant price for the bridges. A few
years ago this scheme worked admira-
bly,, and the lesson is not yet forgotten.
Now. I have no opposition to make
to such purchase as IL is well known
that these two bridges come in very
handy during high water, and the pay
ment Of toll discommo'les quite num-
Der who are obliged to cross frequently.
To avoid paying too much for them,
would 1t not be well to have board of
appraisers appointed TO set n valuation
upon them This board could Ike
chosen in this manner: Let the owner
of the bridges select one, the people in
terested another. and these two chose
the third. Then the Commissioners
can do their duty without fear or favor.
The appraisers should meet say twice
firstly. rs soon as they can get together
and secondly during the high water sea
son. and they could then make an intel
ligent appraisement. My reason for
favoring making haste slowly is. be-
cause there are not few on the White
who are of the opinion that the bridges
will not stand high water. Owing to no
snow in the hills, last year was no cri
terion.l This action would give the
taxpayers the benefit of any doubt.
The Meeker herald., 1888-01-07
reiterate, let them Ike bought by the
county only at reasonable figure, pro-
vided the bridges are sound. l.. e.
