BINDING IWlNE.


Hard Nut for Free Trader to Crack.
The free trade editor of the New York
Times takes Kansas paper to task for
asking the following questions:
''Will some free trader kindly tell us
why the best binding Irvine costs only 10
cents pound now, when one year ago it
SOLO for from Is to II cents pound? Does
an increase in the tariff always result in
reducing the price of commodity to the
consumer"
The tariff editor Of the Times quotes the
figures of the American Economist, which
show that the price of binding twine fell
from 1411a cents in October, 1890, when the
Mckinley bill became law, to IL cents in
September of this year, and accounts for
decrease IN price by calling attention to
the fact that the raw materials for this
Irvine we're made free by the new tariff
and the duties reduced on the finished
product. "hence the reduction of prices"
The Economist answers the Times as
follows:
GAS usual, theory has lured the refor-
mer' from the realm of facts. 1t does
reason out beautifully we admit, Duty
removed from raw materials, coresp ondlng-
ly reduced on the finished product, and low
prices result. A complete demon stration
OF the soundness of the whole tariff re-
form theory! But the reasoning pro-
cess is to much like that employed by the
Frenchman who went to England to write
book descriptive of thai country. He
arrived from France at British port
after dark, went direct to an inn, was
shown to bed by red-headed maid, and
before retiring wrote in his note book, as
the first installment of data for his con.
templated work, All the Eng fish women
have red hair
1.-The times correctly quoted the Ameri-
can Economists figures. showing that
binding Irvine fell from 141a to IL cents

which it took the figures, it will find the

Samuel Gompers has made a triumph
ant trip from ocean to ocean, his recep-
ton at the several cities where he made
addresses showing that the labor hosts
are alive. At San Francisco Mr.. Com
pers was rendered a grand reception, at
which 5000 were present. On this occa-
sion he was presented with a badge, the
following description of which is taken
from the San Francisco Chronicle;
The badge was designed by O.. A.
Lewis, Of Carpenters union No. 90, and
is n handsome piece of workmanship.
From a bar of gold which bore the one
word President" there was a disc
somewhat larger han the standard dol
las, suspended by two chains. Around
the edge of the disc was a chain, each
link of which bore the name of one of
the labor unions on this coast composing
the federation. Across the center of the
disc was a wide bar of California quartz.
on which were two hands clasped, and
on the cuffs attached to the hands were
the words East" and West" In a
semi-circle, above the quartz bar, the
name of Samuel Gompers" was en-
graved, and below the bar in a semi
circle the inscription President of the
American Federation of Labor" On the
reverse side of the disc the inscription
read Presented by the Federated Trades
of the Pacific Coast. San Francisco,

Icontend chat the proposed change ito
eight hoursl will very much help to i'm
prove general business, and that the EN-
ployer class will share in this increase OF
prosperity.
There is no class of men who spend
their earnings so freely as the ordinary
wage Garner. The grocer, butcher, shoe
dealer, dry goods and other merchants
get their share of it. More than that, it
all stays in our midst, while the capital
list and well to do employer carries con-
siderable of his meal TO other countries
in his various pleasure trips. The more
men employed in our midst the more
freely money will circulate. This pro-
duces prosperity, a tangible share of
which most employers receive. The gem
eral increase of wages equally produces
this result, and it is recognized as a rule
by political economists that good pay and
prosperity go hand in hand.-H. H. Her
