"The End of Cheapness-Nothing."


Says Master Workman Powderly in q
recent interview:
every step in reducing the standard
of living and wages of the laborer re-
duces the wages of the skilled worlmeD
as well. When IS cents day in 1890
takes the place of 81 in 1880 each recipi-
ent of such wages must curtail his pur-
chases in order to conform to the 25 per
cent. reduction in wages. Less Of food,
less of clothing, not so many shoes and
cheaper lodgings must be had, and those
who make shoes, clothing and articles Of
household use find that their business
falls off also; the falling off in business
is followed by reduction in wages, and
the evil stream runs the entire length
until all are infected.
"The cheapening of labor cheapens
production; cheap production cheapens
human flesh, and when the race of
cheapness is run we find ourselves q ma
ton of cutthroats, for each mans hand
is at his neighbor's throat, seeking to
wrest from him part, or the whole, of
the trade he has acquired, and his argu-
ment always is, Il can do it cheaper
The logical end of cheapness is-noth-
ing, and to that end the immigrant of
today in his ignorance is driving the
American laborer, mechanic and bust
ness man, many Of whom labored by his
side across the water years ago."

EDITOR TIMEs:-The State Teachers lnsti.
tute opened Monday with good attendance
and has been increasing each day. There
are three instructors, and the institute is
divided into sections and regular lessons
given and recited. The main object is not
so much the teaching of the text as to
show teachers how to teach; the instructors
employing the best known methods i'm their
work.
The annual encampment Of the state
militia is the great event now. The encamp-
ment is in the fields north of Goguac lake,
about one and one-half miles from the city.
About one thousand tents are in position
and are being rapidly occupied by the
companies from different parts of the state.
Last evening four companies of the 10th
u. S. Infantry, stationed at Fort Wayne,
Detroit, came to the city, and Immediately
commenced putting their camp in position.
1t was a novel sight to see their work.
They were as busy as bees in a hive and
evidently knew what they were about.
Parades, target practice, sham battles, etc.
will be the order of the day until the camp
term expires next Tuesday morning.
AS the institute sessions begin at s o'clock
and close at 1 o'clOck-Only one session per
day-it gives the members ample time to
see the sights. Your correspondent has
rooms and board at Goguac lake, so we can
combine, the institute work, summer resort
and sight seeing business all under one

WHERE The FLAG is NOT.
Our shipping Has Declined Not Because
of Protection but the Lack OF 1t.

Our Shipping Has Declined Not Because
of Protection but the Lack OF 1t.
The Free-traders have their theory TO
offer in explanation Of the decline of
the American commercial marine, says
The Tribune. They have been asserting
for twenty years that Protection has
ruined the carrying trade underthe flag.
In the long range of economic controversy
there is no inference so preposterous as
this. If Protection is to be judged, let it
be by wonderful progress of industries
which have been protected, and not by
the collapse and destruction of almost
the only one in the country which has
not been protected. The capital invested
and labor employed in factories, farms
and mines have been protected by tariff
law, and production has been enormously
increased, industries have been multi
piled, employment has been diversified,
prices have been cheapened and labor
has been made remunerative.
Capital and labor in the foreign carry
ing trade have not been protected.
American shipping on the seas has been
ruined by cheap foreign labor and by
merciless competition supported by
European bounties and subsidies. The
decline of the American commercial
marine has not been caused by Protec-
tion, but by the lack of it. This is CON-
clusively shown by the development of
the coasting trade and the commercial
marine on the great lakes. Those inter.
ests have prospered because, like other
American industries, they have been
protected by law The foreign carrying
trade has been ruined because it was
neglected and left to perish from sheer
inanition.
"We must have free Ships" the de-.
moralized but persistent Free-trader will
rejoin in his shrillest treble.
What would these unpatriotic Free
traders do? They would enable Amer
lean merchants to purchase instead of
chartering Norwegian steamers and to
raise the flag over them while continu-
ing to employ Norwegian crews. They
would ruin the American shipyards and
take away employment from the men
hired in them and also from a great
number Of contributing industries. They
would furnish employment for foreign
shipyards and a foreign maritime popu-
lation. They would run up the Amer
lean flag over foreign built and foreign
manned ships, and then affect to be
proud of an inferior commercial marine
built upon the ruins of the American
shipbuilding industry.
Such merchant feet would be dis
grace to the nation. If the American
flag be restored to the seas let it be over
American built ships, and let it represent
the American principle of economic in
dependence. Trade will follow that flag,
An American merchant feet worthy
Of the traditions Of the country is high
object of national aspiration. It can be
restored by the passage of the pending
shipping measures.

Ten Hours Labor Here and Abroad.

When the Free-traders are cornered
by authoritative comparisons Of the
rates of wages in this country and
abroad they have way of answering
that it is not the nominal amount, but
the purchasing capacity of workman's
pay, that is the determining factor.
What matters it," they say, ''that an
English wage ear1ier receives only three
shillings and an American wage Garner
a dollar and half, if the former sum
will purchase as much of the necessaries
of life in England as the latter sum will
do in the United States?" Some recent
Investigations of the Wisconsin bureau
of labor and industrial statistics throw
an interesting light on the essential hum
bug of this favorite Free-trade inquiry.
The bureau has prepared the following
table of the relative percentages of bread,
meat, pork and butter that can be pur-
chased for the wages received for ten,
hours labor in Wisconsin and in several
