Ammidown and his Huns.

Edward III. Ammidown, president
of the American Protective Tariff
League, has been so unwise as to
write letter. 1t is addressed to the
Philadelphia Times, and is an angry
protest against criticisms on him be-
cause he has largely employed Hun
garians to take the place of American
workmen in his large wooden mil at
Passaic, n. j. Mr.. Ammidown de-
clares that he did not "import" these
men, and assumes that such being the
case there is nothing inconsistent be-
tween his action as a manufacturer
and his pretense as president of the
Protective Tariff League, that the
main object ofthe existing tariff is the
protection of American labor.
No one who has read the testimony
before the Congressional Committee
on immigration, now sitting in New
York, will care baubee whether Mr..
Ammidown imports Hungarians him
self or takes them off the hands of the
rascals who are systematically engag-
ed in importing all kinds of laborers
to this country. Such fellows can
take risks in violating the Contract
Labor law which man of Mr.. Am
midown's position would not think of
taking, but they would have no in.
ducement to take such risks if Mr..
Ammidown and other members of the
American Protective Tariff League
did not stand ready to take the i'm
ported laborers off their hands and
provide places for them by discharg-
ing better paid American laborers.
Having once denied that he was en-
gagged in the direct importation Of
Hungarian workmen, Mr.. Ammidown
freely admits that he does employ
plenty of Huns in his mill, and he
adds. 81 am glad to have this OPP
portunity to say in their behalf that
there is no more faithful, sober, thrift
ty, intelligent and self.respecting class
of operatives in this country than
these same Hungarians."
1t is unnecessary to add single
word to complete the case. No one
denies that Mr.. Ammidown has per-
feet legal right to gil his mill with
Hungarians, and, as they serve his
purpose, it is natural that he should
speak well Of them. What we object
to is that, while doing this-while
drawing thus constantly OIL the So
called pauper labor of Europe to fill
his own mills with cheap workmen-
he should, as president Of the Ameri-
can Protective League, pose as a man
whose supreme desire is to maintain
high wages for American labor.
Mr.. Ammidown, the manufacturer,
is man Of good repute, but M. AM
midtown, the president of the Protect
i've Tariff League, is a self-confessed
bumbug. He buys labor as cheaply
as he can in the free trade market of
the world, and only wants tariff to
keep up the prices of the goods he
sells. He does not want to keep up
the price of labor. On the contrary,
he wants to force that price down, and
he does tn. Y. Star.

The Two Records.

The delegates to the Federation of
Labor, which meets at indianapolis,
carry from all parts of Indiana in
structions to condemn General Har-
rison as a dyed in.the-wool enemy of
organization among workmen. 1t is
the present task of the Republican
managers at indianapolis to head off
this illumination of the trades, whose
effect might reach far beyond State
boundaries. How pleasantly does the
record of the old Roman contrast with
General Harrison's unfortunate atti-
tude. The coal miners Of the Hook
ing Valley beg Thurman to visit them
and enable them to testify to him the
lively sense of gratitude which still
rises in their hearts. These men, in
1885, were the victims of the meanest
oppression that bounty-taking scoun-
drels ever visited on the labor they
pretend to protect. A year after the
defeat and subsection of the miners,
Thurman, as an arbitrator, raised
their wages 20 per cent, and the next
year the employers voluntarily yield
ed another 10 per cent. 1t may be
hoped that Thurman will 60 down
there, and give American laborers the
true doctrine-~that they are the bone
and sinew of the State;Shrst to he call
ed in war and eagerest to defend lib
critics that even tariff masters could
not afford to Penounce,- Chicago Her

A Protective Tariff is an Injury to
Alpena People.

A question that many citizens of
this place are asking is "How long
will the supply of pine logs last ?"
The log question is of great import
ance to Alpena. The manufacture Of
pine is the main industry here, and
the stoppage of the mills would be of
immense damage to the business men,
farmers, mechanics and laborers, and
would immensely decrease the value
of property and make depressing times
in this city. Hundreds of people
would have to leave and seek employ
ment elsewhere.
Inquiries In regard to the supply Of
logs available for manufacture here,
brings the information that some mills
have but a two or three years supply

High Tariff and Low Wages.

In certain car wheel the cost of
labor is so cents, and the amount of
protection is $3.50. Naturally this
statement is astonishing to protection
lists who have taken the word of the
men who are chiefly benefited by the
tariff tax, and who do not realize that
protected manufacturers cover upand
misrepresent tho real workings Of the
tariff law, just as dishonest mer-
chant deceives his hoped-for customer
as to the quality of his goods. In the
case of the car wheel, we are asked to
count the cost of labor in the ore, the
pig, the ingots or blooms, and the
wheel itself. But this is essentially a
dishonest proposition. 1t ignores the
fact that q tariff tax has protected"

Not long after this a Mexican was found in DOS
session of cows hide which bore a neighbours
brand, and was arrested for stealing the COW. For
the benefit of my readers who have never lived in
the far west let me say that to 'skin man alive
is not half the sin in the eyes of the law as the
SHINING of a dead COW, if the COW be not your
own. Here was case for Joe. The day for the
trial came, and the court room was crowded with
Joes admiring friends. The attorney for the
prosecution was bright young lawyer from dis
lance, who came well prepared. His argument
for the prosecution was not long but strong, and
in short speech he quoted more law than poor
Joe or the justice had ever heard. Joe looked sad
and bewldered as the young lawyer proceeded,
but he kept his stand close by his Client and as
he began to realize that public sentiment was turn
ing against them great tear coursed down his
ruddy cheek, yet he bore himself as one not wholly
conquered.
When his opponent had finished Joe stepped
forward with d firm tread, hugging close In his
arms his precious claw library" the New Mexico
statutes, and with tear-stained face and trembling
voice began: "1our Honor, know public feel

CHRONICLE.
Five or six years ago there was not lawyer in
all the county, SO it is not to be wondered at that
ambition began to stir in the bosom OF one OF the
natives who had in his youth been so fortunate as
to learn to read and write "a Bit On one occa-
sion this individual, whose name was Joe, called
at the store and asked for box top, and was
given nice piece of white pine board torn from
the top of cracker box. Joe took the piece of
plank, drew forth his pocket knife, picked up a
broken whiskey bottle, and stepping outside the
store seated himself upon an old nail key in the
sun and began to work. All day he was busy,
now whiting, now scraping stopping ever and
again to raise the plank to his eye, and with
knowing wink at his neighbor or the gaping crowd,
remark, "Straight? corner square? likes things
far an squar', | do.' This with an oft repeated
shake of the head keeping time the while with a
vigorous chewing of the great tobacco quid that
was ever his companion. new conner saunterlng
up yentured the question, "Ilello, Joe; what are
you going to do with that board? Joe raised his
head and hating a moment in his work replied
with great emphasis upon each word, sJest you
come here tomorrow bout this time and you'll
see." Men have no curiosity, of course, but Joe
was shrewd enough to know that something in hui
man nature would bring every man in his little
group back on the morrow to learn what he would
do with the board.
The morrow brought the expected crowd of in
terested spectators, among them many of the wo-
men of the place, who curiously enough had chosen
this particular day to do their shopping. Joe's
pretty little board was nailed to the htching post
just outside the store door, while Joe stood little

OF middle aged frontier man, and occasionally
deigning to correct the small boy who was spelling

"CoULD woman lay this pavement we are

buildings under whose shadow we are restng?'
asked prominent ant-suffrage man of little
woman who has a kindly leaning toward equal
rights. Yes, a woman can lay u pavement and
make as good "job'' of it as man could do in
darning baby's stocking. But why should she
lay pavements? she is the mother of men, who
are stronger and better fitted to do heavy work.
She also could build brick houses we're she first to
learn the bricklayer's trade but why should she
do so? why build the outer walls when the inner
sanctum has been made her special charge? Shall
she do both because she has only reared her head
in not unwomanly dignity and asked to be made
equal to her "lordY' Because women are be-
ginning to learn they have brains and are moved to
use them in the fulfment of their great love and
desires for the human race, some men immediately

A NAUGHTY man, Lacon perhaps, says; eff
you cannot inspire woman with love of you, fill
her above the brim with love of hersef-all that
runs over will be yours. =" The cup of woman's
self-love is small and early begins to overflow for
some man; in some instances so much runs over
and so completely does it cover the man and hide
him from the eyes of the woman, that she lives and
dies without ever learning the worthessness of the
creature she has clothed in her devotion.
