Old Settlers Meeting.

The Kenosha County Old Settlers
annual meeting is notified to be
held on the grounds of the society
at Paddock Lake on the Both of
August inst The friends of the
old settlers generally, whether
members of the society or not, are
cordially invited to spend the day
with this annual gathering With
many it may be, as it has been with
others, their last meeting of the
kind. Not few of our early citi-
zens have retired to the great here
after ssince the last greeting Of
friends at Paddock Lake. Most
of the older counties in Wisconsin
have now organizations of early
settlers similar to the one in this
county. It is a rational means Of
making acquaintance, adding new
ones and reviving old and forgotten
ones Come, old farmers, who
have endured the summer heat and
braved the rigorous frosts of many
Wisconsin winters: come and bring
your wives and daughters. Make
this one of the pleasing holidays of
the year The women in their de-
partments of industry aided in con-
verting the wild prairies into fruit
full gardens: it was they who la
bored for the establishment of the
school and the church.

Washington Letter.

The disposition on the part of the
Democratic Senators to delay the
passage Of the tariff bill has reached
a stage when fOrbearance has
ceased to be a virtue. Seeing that
if something is not done to hurry
matters the bill will not be voted
on before Christmas, the Repub-
licans have decided to do some
thing. Just what, will probably be
definitely determined by the Sena-
torial caucus to be held o-night
Resolutions have been offered by
Senators Blair, Edmunds, Hoar and
Quay, to bring about the desired
end-a curtailment of debate on the
tariff bill; and all of these resolu-
tions are in the hands of the com
mittee on Rules, which is composed
of Senators Aldrich, Sherman, In
gals, Harris and Blackburn. The
resolution of Senator Quay, which
was the last one offered, has created
q veritable sensation, because, if
adopted, it will result in shelving
the Federal election bill for this
session. It provides that no bills,
except the tariff bill, general APP
preparation bills, and bills relating
to public buildings and lands shall
be taken up by Congress during the
remainder of this session, and that
the tariff bill be voted upon August
80. Senator Hoar offered an
amendment, to include the Federal
Election bill.
Owing to lack of quorum the
House has. done little outside of
routine business this week. There
are few more than a quorum in
the city, but it seems impossible to
keep them on the floor of the House
for any length of time, and the
Democrats are always ready to
make the point of mo quorum
when a vote is to be taken. Some
ugly stories about card parties
composed of members in committee
rooms and neighboring restaurants,
are being circulated here, and if
some of the members are not more
careful they will find themselves in
bad odor at home, and it will serve
them right too. They were not
elected to play cards.

The Strike on the N. Y. Central

We are glad to see that the strike
on the New York Central is at an
end. Strikes, no doubt, are insep-
arably connected with our present
economic system, for as long as
there exist between employers and
employed the same relations as be-
tween buyers and sellers, in which
goods offered by the one are refused
by the other, SO long must we look
for strikes; but of all the strikes of
which we have knowledge this was
the most senseless and unnecessary.
There was no cause of complaint
against the wages and the hours of
work, but the whole difficulty seems
to have arisen from the iealousies of
two rival labor organizations, one
party insisting that all the promo
tiOns should be made from their
ranks, and when their requests
were refused they adopted this
idiotic means to attain their end
Trades unions and combinations of
workingmen may effect some good
as friendly societies by relieving
want and suffering, but we question
whether any such body can regulate
wages, or settle the questions
which arise between employer and
employed. They often defeat their
own ends by exercising r social ter
rorism and thus diverting trade
from it's right channels. Strikes
can only be averted by removing
the causes of antagonism between
employer and employed, and as long
as labor is considered to be at the
mercy of capital SO long will the
cause of dissatisfaction remain
When the laborers realize that cap
ital after all is the result of saving,
that it is a fund reserved from con
sumption and designed for the
maintenance of future labor, and
that strikes involve a great deal of
unproductive consumption, then
they will begin to see the folly of
stopping labor, and will seek for CO
partnerships in industries, and this
is doubtless the easiest solution for
all these puzzles in our economic
system of labor and wages.

Protection for Farm Products.

Contention that the tariff imposed
on imported agricultural products
is of no avail by way of protection
to American fa1mers will no more
stand the test of facts and figures
than most other assertions of the
industrious attorneys for free for
eign trade.
Under the existing law tariff is
imposed on the principal farm prod
ucts, as follows: Wheat, 20 cents
per bushel; corn, oats, barley and
rye, each 10 cents; potatoes, Is
cents, live stock (other than breed
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1890-08-21

ing), twenty per cent. on value.
The effect of these charges, accord
ing to the great apostle of free
trade, who never let's slip the op-
portunity for reiterating his creed,
is that
Tariff taxation is not limited to
the consumer of imported articles,
but the duties imposed upon such
articles permit q corresponding in
crease in price to be laid upon the
domestic productions of the same
kind
Every sensible business man,
with the price lists of the different
trade centers before him, can see
that this is not true; while it is
fact that the tariff rates above
quoted serve as q check to an in
fux of foreign grown products
which would in the absence of such
barrier, seriously embarass market
prices in the United States. For
eign producers pay the tariff on
such of these products as they send
here, and hence cannot afford to sell
them as cheaply as they could and
would sell if permitted to bring
their products here free. What
they thus pay in the way of tariff
goes into the public treasury, and
by so much reduces the amount that
otherwise would be raised from our
own citizens.
But Notwithstanding the fact that
foreign farmers are taxed for the
privilege of selling their products in
our markets, they did send here
during the last fiscal year staple
farm products to the value Of near
ly $14, 100000, viz: Breadstuffs,
So, O34, 272; vegetables, 81, 455, 354;
live animals, 3,270, PIT. After
paying over two and three-quarter
million dollars as tariff, these were
sold in competition with the prod
ucts of American farms
It is with such facts as these that
free trade attorneys should be CON
fronted when pleading with the far
mer for his vote against the policy
of protection for American labor.
The American farmer can no more
successfully compete against the
cheap grown wheat Of India and
Russia than the American manufac-
turer can compete with his foreign
competitor in making cheap goods
The tariff of 20 cents per bushel re
moved, and the price Of American
grown wheat would come down, or
foreign grown wheat would be sold
in it's stead. Proof of this lies in a
comparison of market quotations
from the commercial centers of Eu-
rope and the United States. And
farmers will find more profit in such
comparison than i'll listening to the
confusing diatribos O. free trade
advocates.
