HOW PROTECTION BENEFITS THE WORK.
lNGMAN,

HOW PROTECTION BENEFITS THE WORK.
iNGMAN.
The advocate of free trade are prolific
in devices for securing the support Of
voters to their scheme of abolishing all
barriers to unrestricted commerce be.
tween this and other nations, howeve,
adversely circumstanced they may be.
A favorite device is the endeavor to
create dissatisfaction and foster antagon-
isms on part of the workingmen by the
in stance that Protection inures to the
-. exclusive benefit of the capitalist-that
the laborer would be better. off under
free trade. In furtherance of this, every
disagreement between employers and
employees as to the amount of: wages or
the hours of labor, whether the product
is on the dutiable list or not, is paraded
as an outgrowth of the protective policy.
Nothing could be more misleading;
nothing more unfortunate for the work
ingman than to give heed to such teach
ings.
AS between the capitalists and the
laborer, the latter is most in need of
protection against foreign competition.
Under. free trade the capitalist could
manage to live, and live well-by mer-
chandising, transportation. or, if not at
tracted towar; these, he could draw up
on his capital for expenses, and remain
idle. Business of any kind is with him
very largely matter of convenience or
preference-in nowise a necessity. If
not suited here, he has the means for
taking himself and family to some other
country, where workingmen are too
poor to strike, and stolidly accept such
wages as they can get. '-.-
On the other hand, the workingman
must have employment by which to earn
wages, or he and his family will suffer.
No option is left him between work and
want; hence, of all men, he should be
the most jealous of those ''insidious wiIes
of foreign influence" which seek to have
the necessities and comforts of the peo-
pie of the United States supplied
through foreign labor. The more work
performed in this country, the better the
workingman's chances for steady en-
ployment and fair wages. Whatever
the labor involved in producing any
article required in this country that is
performed abroad, by just SO much is
he deprived of the opportunity for earn
ing wages which to him are necessity.
Free trade preachers know full we'll
that on the plain issue Of preference for
the higher standard Of wages and better
facilities for work which Protection in
sures, and the alternative of getting
work by undertaking foreign COMPETE
ton offered by free trade, they have ne
chance for securing the vote Of any in
telligent working man. Hence their
persistence in befogging the question
with sounding platitudes and specieus
appeals to the prejudices of voters by
quoting irrelevant proverbs instead OF
the scales of wages under the British
and American policies.

Why?- Because the whites are so in

possible to prevent their black brothers
from enjoying "life, liberty and the pur-

the black mans progress always comes
from his white brothers. With the CEN

middle of the week the company assumed
charge of the workings. From now On all
work at the mine will be done under Super
intendent Curtis and General Manager E.

the dump and putting up bins for ore at the
hosting works. At the mouth of the tun-
mel matters will soon be put in shape for
developing the lower workings from the
tunnel. 1t is yet undecided by the MAJ
agement whether to let contract to a Mr..
Dull, an oil well expert, to make large
bore from the bottom of the shaft to the
tunnel level or to employ Mr.. Dull with his
big well borer to do the work. 1t will not
be long before the shaft and upper work
ing will be drained and connections made
with the tunnel ievel-so long desired. A
prominent man who is associated with the
management of the Anchor was asked yes
terday several leading questions relative to
the condition of the property, the cutting of
the various Lodges, their richness, magni-
tude, etc, but the answers given were
evasive, and not to the point Finally.

Friends in Need,

High above the din of traffic, the discord-
ant babel of querulous and angry voices, and
the means of anguish from the poor horses
that fell on the slippery granite pavement at
the thronged street corner and bruised their
knees rose the eager, almost despairing cry OF
human being laboring under some tremen-
dous excitement.

There was a momentary hush, but no re-
Spouse to the demand of the excited ques-

intersection the crowd was thickest rose on
the air again.

The Age of Trusts.

From sermon recently delivered by a
Chicago divine, the following is taken:
''Of all the outrageous, inhuman actions
Of the terror the school book trust is the
worst The heartless robbers were not
content with profit that would satisfy a
Shylock. No. they bear down upon the
children Of the poor. squeezing from the
Puny bodies the last drop of blood left by
other remorseless trusts. They were not
satisfied with a profit of 200 per cent. over
and above the original cost, but said to the
poor children; Your money or no educa-
ton.
TRUSTS are trampling out the command
ment, Thou shalt net steal. Some time
ago the oat meal people formed a combine
and jumped the price of their products
from $3.50 to $50 per barrel, a clear steal
of 81. 10 on barrel Justice is supposed to
lurk in the business Office and the count
ing-room, but the organizers of trusts have
kicked justice out and installed the presid-
ing genius of robbery.
''The Irvine trust secured control of the
fax field and the mills so that it could get
its hands into the pockets of 10000, 900 PEG
pie and steal their money. That is all right
in the eyes of the law, but man who takes
jimmy and cracks safe is sent to prison.
Another act of the ghouls was in the
formation of trust controlling the market
in the undertal5ers' supplies. We go to the
grave with our beloved dead and return
home harrassed by the feeling that our
dead has been robbed. In this and in
school book trusts the rapacity of pirates
on the high seas does not compare with the
awful criminality of the trusts.
But the effect of the trust sometimes
strikes the other way, as in the case of the
official in France, who was deeply inter
ested in the copper trust. When the COM
bine was broken he went out and killed
himself. There is over 81, 000, 900. 900 locked
up in trusts in this country. What will be
the effect on coming generations when
they realize that the moneyed men of the
country are robbers. Is it any wonder
that we have socialists and anarchists!
The terror is a menace to the destinies of
60, 600. 900 people and their descendants. 1t
is Gods ordained law of trade that there
shall be competition. The Bible says that
IF thou sell to or buy ought from thy
neighbor thou shalt not Cypress him"

| points reporting, and this involves larger
demand for money.
The great industries are making pro-
gress. Several more furnaces of the iarg-
est size have gone into blast since October
| 1st.
| The government crop report was rather
a surprise to many, as it shifted wheat
estimates from "a fraction over 12'' to 12.S
bushels per acre, making the probable
| yield not much below 500, 100000 bushels
The acreage is still somewhat uncertain
| The corn report indicates the largest crop
ever raised, and the same may be said of
cotton, with the proper reservation that
early frosts may yet greatly reduce the
outcome. With heavy crops, business in
all departments will be stimulated, and at
the same time the demand for money will
be increased, for of late wheat exports
have been moderate, and though cotton
goes out more largely than a year ago, it is
at least in part against bills negotiated
some time since.
Another indication of the general pros
perity is seen in the large sales of boots and
shoes, though prices were never so low at
any previous time, and leather, just now
quoted firm, is as low as at any time in
thirty-fve years.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during the last seven days,
as reported to r. G. Dun 81 Co., number,
for the United States, 1872, and for Canada
81, or a total of PA, as compared with a
total of POS last week, and 1872 the week
previous to the last. For the correspond
ing week of last year the figures were 227,
made up of 1893 in the United States, and 81
in Canada.

The Outlook.

The Mexican lead-ore question has been
topic of discussion in mining and bust
ness circles during the week past. Several
days ago, THE HERALD published exclusive
information to the effect that Secretary
Window had decided that Mexican lead
ores could come in free Of duty. This
created no little CONSERVATION among our
miners and mine-owners, and there were
several found who refused to believe the
news. The dispatch published yesterday
morning, however, bears US out in the
statement. In other words, the secretary
refused to take any action at all, and where
Mexican ores contain more silver than
lead, they will be admitted free of all
duty. "Our Anticipated contemporary
came out this morning with flaring head
lines and announced that our ores are pro-
tected. What do you think of the matter?"
was query put to a mining man yester-
day Simply, that the fellow who wrote
the headlines did not know what he was
about. We are not protected. We are
just where we were year ago. 1t is a
very easy task to mix enough silver ore
with the lead and thus bring it in free OF
duty. OF course, if the Mexican shippers
are closely watched, much fraud can be
prevented, but in this case at least there is
no particular cause for joy on the part of
the producers.
The announcement of the above
was about the only event of Importance in
business circles during the week just
closed, which has been an extremely busy
one During our weekly tour among the
business houses yesterday, we became
more than ever convinced that the seasons
trade was of far greater magnitude than
had been previously supposed, and par
ticularly is this the case among the retail
ers, while the wholesale houses, as has be-
fore been stated, have no complaints to
make. Asked as to what he thought had
been the cause of the big increase over that
of 1888, one dealer said: "There are several
causes. Every man who wants work can
get it; the building going on now circu-
lates a great amount of ready money
amongsthe laboring classes, and these feel
that they can afford little luxuries that
they would deny themselves under ordin-
airy circumstances. Their again, the big
increase in our population-and it is far
greater than most people are aware
is big factor also. Fully so per cent. of
my customers are strangers to me now.

one whom did not know personally"
