FhOIECTION LOWERS WAGES.

The tariff is not a tax-oh. no, and
10 is imposed primarily as a means of
OF protection to American labor-ob,
yes! and under its beneticent work
lngs the wages OF Amer ican uorkmen
are on the rise-certainly!
Some how or other the facts don't
bear out u befuddled protectiouist
brethren in their C aims. For i'll
stance, there is the great strike nov
on IN The Connellsville coke region in
Pennsylvania-the home of the loud
est champions of %''protection," who
were hled SO profusely for funds to
to help elect Harrison-against Il re
dnction Of 124 PER cent. in wages. 1t
is a notorious fact that the men and
women now working in the coal and
coke regions OF Cameron and Quay
S amping ground are the poorest PAID
Of any such in America. 1t is not
necessary at this time to recount the
innnn,erable instances of reduction
of wages following the enactments of
the present tariff law, but the great
strike in the Connellsville region
against a reduction of wages, involv
ing $4,000 men, is a good illustration
OF the falsities of the protectionist 20
sition. That men working in a pro
tected industry should be compelled
tn go to such an extreme at thi.
season of the year to avoid a drsas,
trous reduction is one o} the things
that hobody but a delndeu protection
list can understand. 1t would be in
teresting to see what kind of a tariff
picture the Leader and other seryile
imitators Of the New York Press
would make out OF the facts pre-
scented in the dispatches from the
scene of the strike.

of government. There is no opposi.
ton to this movement from the par
ent county and that the measure will
be successful hardly admits of doubt.
While the new county will not have a
large population or a plethoric assess
ment roll, it is but a matter of Justice
that it should be created. Both will

creation Of the county of Teton, t,
ihc'ade the western portion of Cho.

was believed there would DO O oppo.
s'tion to this scheme, but the bill it,
'rodnced by Representative Board
man. OF Choteau, asking that the
matter be submitted to a vote of tb,
people, indicates that an effort WI

criving every attention possible from

inued until he Was we'll enough to be

expected, and besides this one was

line.

The Marine Record is authority for
the statement that President j j.
Hill is now in Europe. where it is
whispered among u few knowing
men, he will procure figures on some
5000 ton steamers for the Pacific
trade. The Great Northern railroad
will have d Puget sound terminus
early mex year and j. j. Hill is not
the mar to open out a road and then
sit Micawber like waiting for develop
ments. 1t is safe to say that by the
time the Great Northern is ready to
handle east bound freight from the
Pacific slope, arrangements will have
been entered into whereby a liberal
volume of the transportation will be
directed to the road, aud no more
direct means could be used than b,
putting OF a line of steamers te
China"
-Referring to the foregoing the
Superior City Leader says: The
few knowing marine mel are wise in
their own conceit alone, or not wise ut
all. 1t is true enough that the Great
Northern will have a terminus on
Puget S ,und early next S and
equally SO that he is not the man tc
be u~nprepared for the Pacific trade
Just AS soon as his lines reach tn,
coea"'s bu the keewing ones are sal
at sea" when they credit | i'm with an,
intention of establishing a steamship
line made up of steamers carrying
any other flag than that of his own
country. He will have the line to
China not only, but one to Australia.
New Iceland aud the Sandwich islands
as well, but his steamers will not be
built in England. The American
Steel Barge company is not going to
locate at the Puget Sound terminus
of the Great Northern for nothing: il
will build j. j. Hlll's steamships and
will have some of them ready for
him by the time he gets his terminus
planted on the sound.

CLEVELAND " UILL,

The Baltimore Suu has thrown
some light IN the action of Gov. Hill
IN accepting the ~senatorship az well
as upon the more cordial relations
that have lately obtained between the
governor and x-President Cleveland
This happy state of affairs seems to
have been brought about by a letter
written by Henry Natterson of the
Courier Journal to Governor Hill last
November and tn s letter is pub
lished in full Ly the Sun.
In 1t Mr.. Watterson says outside of
the state of New York there is a we'll
nigh unanimous demand among dem
ocra,s for the nomiuatiou of C.eve
land, too strong for party leaders and
managers to resist. Ii Hill should
come to the national convention with
the New York delegation solid against
Cleveland, he would be overwhelmed
"lon are powerless to prevent the
nomination. adds Waterson, "bnt
you can defeat the election of til
ticket There are democrats in every
part of the union who believe you did
tins in 1883 l know it to be false,
but it will cling to yon as long as you
live, and will meet you in every ma
tlonal convention if it be not dis
slpaled by some act on your part
great enough to blot it out.
IN defanlt of this, if you have any
hopes for the presidency it will de
feat that. If you could reconsile il
with yonr Judgment to make peace
with Cleveland and take a delegation
to the national con vention in 1892 to
put him in nomination, You will save
the party and place yourself upon al
elevation you car never attain il you
fail to do it. You would be received
by the country with enthusiasm, and
| don't see how you could be kept out
of succession On the other hand,
