terms of his bill. He says wool ha:
already gone up, and an increased
demand for labor IS perceptible. The
new tin industries viii employ
1900 men directly in manufacture,
while thousands more will be en-
ployed in nlining, smelling and
transporting It,
He --ys that If merchants are
making up goods they are doing 50
on those on which they have paid
no increased tariff. He hopes they
viii work down gooss on the free
list. He says positively that "the
reductions in duty far exceed the
advances In duty" He says further
that his bill gives rs freer trade than
any tariffs in the whole his
tory of our land. Until 1924
every article imported was dutiable.
In 1924 only q per cent OF our I'M
ported goods We're free, in 1888 only
10 per cent, in 1872 only % per cent,
in 1876 only u per cent, in 1857 only
is per cent. From 1878 TO lsss only
- per cent OF imported goods were
free, in ISIS only 80 per cent, and
this bill Of 1899 makes % per cent
free, while the Mills bill only made
a per cent OF a.! imported goods
free.
II appears from the Vienna Neue
Freie Presse Of September 10 that
the Mckinley bill has not received
much favor in Austria. IL says tlIat
10000 persons are already disem-
| plOyed because of the bill, which
prohibits by its high tariff on pearl
buttons their importation into this
country. There are 5000 machines
employed in the pearl button manu-
facture in AustrO-Hungary, and al
ready the greater part have ceased
running. Hall Of the buttons pro-
dIcei in Vienna were sold in this
country heretofore. There Is no
other market for them, consequently
| 1900 Austrians in Vienna alone
will be thrown idle.
The Chicago Tribune says the
Austrian5 need not be alarmed.
1 uG AuA4uu AsitAAlNA uE G1-
tablished here for some time yet;
that the Nieunese eau work on, the
American consumer will nay the
increased price. Ii saws when We
are ready we will bring over the
! button makers and then they will
bless Mckinley.
The 7Ti5Uls SAYS Austria Is no.
remarkable for commercial friendli-
ness 10 the United States. For every
seven iOilars'wOrth OF goods sent Us,
it has taken ouiy one dollars worth
OF our products, the other six being
paid in pare, shining GOLD. "lf
Austria viii not take American
goods in exchange for all it sends
here il may stop sending anything
and tine sooner the better.v
The Ensuing Journal OF this city
has an editorial depicting in r0seate
colors the beneficient effects Of the
Mckinley bin. Since it became
law business has revived, there is
activity in commerce and manufac-
ture, IA easy money market and
advanced prices for farm produce.
In mercantile centres brisk sales
and prompt collections are the rule.
In manufacturing districts thrift
and prosperity ere apparent, while
there are no strikes and no men
unemployed. Trade failures are
Few and Insignificant.
New Industries employing mil
liOzs Of clDital and giving work TO
thousands are being established. Ii
there are higher prices for necsss3r-
les il is owing 10 other causes than
the tariff.
Further agitation on the tariff
will only cause mischief. Let bust
ness and industry adjust themselves
to the new system. Stability and
prosperity must attend trade and in
dustry in every direction.
The calamity shriskef, the
''scare" stump orator, and the dds
content" waller are all silenced.
Their crOakiRgs are vain in the face
Of prosperity, good times and abund-
ance Of employment.
The education question has at
last blossomei into n fdll-blowu po-
lit;cal issue in Illinois. The Ger
man Lutherans are in the gap.
They are forcing the fighting. The
Roman Catholics are not saying
much, but / am Of the opinion that
they are saving wood. As this eiu-
cation and religious business was
matter Of much legislation aud Of
State documents in Utah, il will
hardly be out Of place in UtODians
to watch the contest here. The
Lutherans submit n pledge to can
didates for the legislature. Here it
is:
I, the undersigned, II elected 10 the
Thirty seventh legislature OF the State Of
Illinois, do hereby pledge myself to make
all lawful efforts toward repeating or 30 re
yIsinZ the compulsory school law approved
May -, lss4. and now n effect a. that SAID
Law viii net interfere directly or indirectly
with parental authority over the child in
determining thc mems and extent OF its
education. wall not prescribe 4 certain
school or class OF schools where IL shall be
educated. viii not restrict religious liberty
in any form. nor leave par0ehisi or private
schools subject TO state supervision or
CONTROL
1.-THE candidate signs this he has
the SUPPORT OF the Lutherans and
Catholics. Up to date IL democrats
and 3 republicans have signed It. A
number Of others have pledged
themselves 10 modify the law. There
seems to be nothing very unreasOn-
ablein theabove pledge. There is moth
ing said against the public school
There is no demand made for school
funds, nor is there any protest
against paying school taxes. There
is nothing exorbitant in n parent
claiming control Of the education
and religion OF his child. 1.-THE
State prescribes the school, it can
also name the religion one is TO
adopt, and why not name the secret
society, the trade, the profession or
political party the child is 70 follow.
This IL Socialism Of the most ortho-
dox kind.
p The law which causes all this ex-
is a very simple one and I
reads honestly. However Lutherans
see that in the hands Of Hnscrupu-
lOus politicians It could be made a
positive tyranny. They have studied |
closely the Mormon question, and |
noted the capital made out OF a |
mythical pOlygamy during the last |
two years. Even now when polyc-
amy is a thing 81 the past in this |
country, the Lutherans see the very
papers which abuse them, still !
Mormons, aud still contend
ing that pOiyg imy is not abandoned.
AS matters stand now both Luther
aus and school advoc3tes are wrong.
