THE TARIFF BENEFIT

The advocates of high tariff are fond
Of the argument that protection bene-
fits the workingmen, but they fail to
show how or where the workingmen
get any part of the tariff benefit. There
are no protective duties on foreign
labor. The protective duties are all on
the raw material, or on the product of
the factories, and in many cases on
both; yet they do not belong to the
workingmen. They are the property of
the employer, and the tariff benefit goes
entirely into his pocket. The Iaborer
gets 10 more than he would if there we're
no tariff. For illustration, take the ar
ticles of bituminous and anthracite coal.
There is a tax of IS cents ton on the
former, willie the latter is on the free
list. Yet the miner of anthracite coal
gets precisely the same wages that

Not a New Vie w.

Col. Ingersoll does not go on any=new
line in his recent delivery about the
treatment of criminals. Others have
gone even further. Judge Edmunds,
who will be remembered as jurist of
note before his death. has often spoken
in st. Paul through spirit medium and
indicated that his post terrestrial view
allowed no penal infiiction. Those who
perpetrated crimes were darkened In
understanding and morally diseased.

ton he took into the other world was
that he had on the bench condemned
men to death for crime. Modern spirit

similar views, and look with confidence
upon the deliveries of Judge Edmunds.

TALK AWAY.

The suggestion thatthere had already
been too much talk on the subject of
manufacturing, and that it was time for
those who had been agitating it to shut
their mouths aud get down to business,
was evidently made by some one who
has given but little attention to the mat
ter, and who has not the slightest knowl-
edge of the amount of preliminary work
that is yet to be accomplished. The old
Missouri proyerb, Talk is cheap, but it
takes money to buy whisky" has not
the slightest application to this matter.
The kind of talk our people are indulg-
ing in is not of the cheap Missouri type.
1t is the earnest, practical discussion OF
men of affairs who are DESTROYS OF ex-
tending the industries of great city
and who require frequent consultations
in order to properly devise the ways
and means for the accomplishment
of their object. Ours is not a case
where manufacturers with their big
plants and their great stock of capital
are knocking at our gates clamoring for
admission and for the opportunity to
sit down andge to work. In that event
there would be but little occasion for
conferences and consultations and pub
lie discussions. All we would have to
do would be to rise up and open the
gates to let them in. But that is not
our fortunate condition. The manu-
facturerS and the capitalists and the
plants are to be hunted up and brought
here, and then to be convinced that Ii is
to their interest to stay here. There is
great deal of preliminary talking to
be done and discussion to be had before
we can decide upon what plan of action
we are TO pursue. And when we have
determined what to do and how
to do it there will be some
more talking required before we
succeed in establishing all the man.
ufacturng plants that We want. Then,
again, this is one of the occasions when
the time for action never arises, because
1t is always here. We do not have to
wait for it. Discussion or agitation of
this subject is action. 1t is giving the
impetus to movement that could never
stand without it. Those who have been
talking Oh this subject have not been
wasting words. Their talk is not the
idle vaporing which counts for nothing.
1t has done good, it is doing good every
day, and will continue to do good until
the last plant is established and st, PauI

ter Of the Northwest. Instead of trying
to discourage further agitation and dis
cussion of this subject, il behooves all
good citizens to pitch In and do some
talking themselves. If any man has an
opinion as to the best method of estab-
fishing new manufacturing industries,
the public are entitled to the benefit of
that opinion. Mr.. VILLARD's scheme
may prove success, or it may not. Mr..
McANuLTY's idea of tunnel may be
practicable. or it may not. In either
event, neither they nor any other
scheme will be hurt by being discussed.
Let the talk proceed until the best and
wisest conclusions are reached.
