OVER-PRODUCTION AND TRADE
DEPRESSION.

OVER PRODUCTION AND TRADE
DEPRESSION.
The depression in the flint glass trade
has become a source Of anxiety to manufac-
turers outside Of the Ohio Valley. Ii can
not be denied that concerns in the western
gas belts, enjoying the advantages Of free
fuel, free land, low taxes, and in some
cases subsidies in money, have proven
formidable competitors 20 older and better
established industries. Yet they are IN
der disadvantages which nearly if not
quite counterbslance their gains. The
hes. skill and the Iipest experience are
here, and it viii be many years before
new establishments will be able to take
the trade.
The inducements offered by "boom"
communities sre features Of an evil sys-
TEN that is at the root of over-supply and
consequent trade depression. These towns
have simply been offering a bounty,
or, in other words, applying the pro-
lection idea locally. But it is not
such local protective tariff that is
responsible for the present eondi-
ton. When any business becomes highly
remuneratiye, under an unjust and bar
barous system of taxation. capital
is attracted to it, and new
enterprise flows towards it. Increased
production, often beyond the demands
OF trade, follows. Business depres-
sion. reductions in wages and the
closing up Of shops are the attendant evils.
Ia the glass trade this has gone 50 far that
even the establishments that claim the
greatest advantages IN location, fuel aud
other conditions, axe beginning to be crush
ed by the load.
The evil is not confined to any psrticu-
lar trade. 1t is general among nearly all
highly protected interests. Any man can
travel for himself through the iron dis
tric.s Of Pennsylvania and see rolling mile,
sheet iron mills, steel rail plants, and tube
works shut down on every hand, because
the market is oyer-stOcked. Machinery
falls to ruin and workmen are impover-
ished, while the trade recuperstes. Ten
thousand spinners and assistants in the
Fall River cotton mills, who are row fight
ing for living wages, are sad proofs Of the
fact that that great protected industry is
not aourishiug
The remedy must strike at the very foun-
dsdon of the eyil-the system which ere
ated and fostered it. A protective tariff
can be so devised that labor will secure
adequate protection, while capital receives
fair returns. It is not the part Of wisdom
or Justice to 90 beyond that.
Free raw materials, and tariff adj usted
TO cover the difference in wages, would
place American manufacturers on an equal
footing with their competitors in the
worlds markets American pluck aud in
genuity, combined with great natural ad-
vantages, would enable them to obtain
their full share Of trade A widened mar
ket would remove the danger or possibil-
ity Of glut; and labor would receive steady
aud reuunerative employment.

Gen. watl.. plain Duty


Having in his possession the testimony
Of the Republican frauds in Yves, Virgins
aud knowing tbat the object Of the Blaine
administration in demanding his resign
ton was to stop the prosecution Of these
rauds, District Attorney Watts would
have been uutrustw0rthy if he hsd not re
fused TO comply with The demand. Unles;
he can show satisfactory cause for leaving
his post, the District Attorney is as much
bound 70 serve his term SIS the President IL
to serve his. The fact that an attempt is
being made to shield the law breakers IL
certainly not good cause for the resigna-
ton Of sn honest man, especially when II
is a part of his duty to enforce the penal
ties against Law breaking.

will be great and widespread benefits
from the construction of such waterway
sufficiently wide and sufficiently extensive
to make it 10 very high sense a national
work. In order that those benefits may
be secured I believe that we must have a
larger canal, must have one capable of
transporting vessels of larger tonnage
perhaps than those contemplated b. this
amendment to the river and harbor bill
So that when the canal has passed both
houses OF congress next winter, it will
not be retarded by any official act on the

violation of the federal internal revenue

started for Rock Island for the purpose
of arresting three wholesale liquor dealers
of this city, who were indicted at the last
session of the United States court fol-
violating the internal revenue laws In

law makes the place where the money Is
