A Tariff Storm Arising.

And where, pray, are the increased
wages for American workingmen
promised as certainty to follow the
passage of the Mckinley bill? Has
not the trend of wages been down.
ward =? The strikes and lockouts from
one end of the Union to the other,
almost exclusively in the protected
industries, answer the questions. The
Mckinley bill was framed to care
for the fat fried contributors to the
campaign funds, and the fat fried are
taking precious good care of them
selves with the aid of imported cheap
labor, ruthless evictions, deputy sher-
ifs. soldiers-all warning against or
ganized labor. The better the Nc.
Kinley bill is understood in its pur-
pose and working the more intense
the anger against it. The cyclone of
1890 will be as a summer gale to the
storm that is rising.-Pittsburg Post.

The Deficit has Come.

The available cash in the Treasu-
ry, including the national bank re-
demption fund.-" is stated this month
at $h3, 100000 by the Secretary of the
Federal Treasury. AS the national
bank note redemption fund was $54,-
100000, the available cash less this
fund is therefore 100000 less than
nothing. This shows how the treasu-
ry books are being kept. The nation
al bank fund is chargeable against the
available cash, as It is trust fund,
turned into the available cash, but to
cover the deficit the total available
cash is given Including the national
bank fund" OF course, it is possible
to get at the deficit by comparing the
cash on hand with its debt to the ma
tional bank fund, but the statement
does not give the amount of that fund,
and the treasury book-keepers are rea-
sonably certain that not one man in
every ten thousand will either recollect
the amount or have memorandum of
it.
After the misappropriation of this
fund we have treasury juggle, in
which available cash" of only $685.
zoo, 900 is made TO include" a dissi-
pated fund of over s54, 100000. To
make even this showing the fractional
silver in the treasury (s2O,OOO,OOO) is
included, and the $25,0O0,000 or up.
wards loaned out without interest to
the "pet banks" is counted as if it were
actually in the treasury, though Mr..
Harrison is afraid to call it in.
But no matter how much facile
bookkeeping is done, the May state
ment of the condition of the treasury
cannot be prevented from bristling
with the fact that with an increase
for this single month of 1921 900 in
the debt the national bank fund has
been wholly spent and there is an ex.
isting deficit Of half a million.--St
Louis Republic.

A firm at Buffalo which is exter

A firm at Buffalo which is extern
sively engaged in the manufacture Of
tin pals for workiDgmen has been
compelled by the tariff on tin plate,
which goes into effect on July l, to
establish works in Canada. The
head of the firm says: ave can
manufacture these pals in Canada,
import them into this country with
the duty of 80 per cent. on the man
ufactured product and still save 10
per cent. over the cost of manufac-
turing them here" The tin pail
brigade is the very class which Nc
Kinley and the rest promised would
be benefited most by the tin plate
tariff, yet the duty on tin is not yet
in force when here is an American
firm obliged to deprive it of employ
ment by manufacturing pals with
foreign labor in a foreign land

Why Exclude Goods and Not Men,

why EXCLUDE d0ods ana MOI men'
We have reared around our custom
houses, by our inhibition of foreign
goods, adamantine walls high enough
to stop the free movement of the winds
of heaven, and deep enough to shut
out natural gas or drinking water
from Canada and Mexico; but around
our immigrant depots, against the
great swelling tide of immigration we
have strung few statutory cobwebsl
y If we wish to furnish
paradisaical home market to Ameri-
can labor, should we not follow pro-
hibitory tariff against foreign goods
by a general exclusion law against
foreign men p y If we wish
to repress the tremendous immigration
of most undesirable elements, we must
declare war not only against commerce,
but against international comfy, and
arrest men as well as packs of sleeps
wool, tin dinner pals, and coat but
tons.-Hon. VIM. McAdoo in the June

Debts and Blackmail. u

The Supreme Court Of Missouri has
Just rendered decision which should
result in closing out. at once and for
ever, the black mailing collection
agencies which have for some years
past been disgrace TO st. Louis and
to the State.
A merchant at Mexico, Mo-, claim
ed that young woman in st. Louis
was indebted to him in the sum of
$3.50 for goods purchased by her
while residing in his town. She dis
puted his claim, but was unable to
prove payment. The merchant plac-
ed his alleged account in the hands of
a Chicago collection agency, whose
mercenaries proceeded to send her all
manner of dead beat notices, calcu-
lated to injure her reputation for
honesty and trustworthiness. Acting
upon the advice of friends she sued
the merchant for libel and Jury
awarded her $500 damages. The
merchant appealed the case to the
Supreme Court, where the judgment
has been affirmed, the court declar-
ing with emphasis that the verdict
was fully warranted by the facts.
Under the law, therefore, a mer-
chant who resorts to these blackmail-
ing collection agencies is now liable,
not only for civil damages, but also
to criminal prosecution. The statutes
of the State provide ample means for
the collection of debts by judgments
of the courts, and there will be no
excuse for the further existence of
the peculiar class Of agencies which
have proved disgraceful to the coun-
try and subversive of personal rights.
1t is probably true that three
fourths of the bad debts on the books
of merchants remain there by reason
Of absolute inability to pay. And it
is perhaps the experience of a major
ity of merchants, not only that their
debtors would be glad to pay if they
could, but that by the exercise of
mutual patience the most of them
will pay. In the meantime the debt
or has rights which should be respect
ed. BY destroying his reputation,
you destroy both his ability and dis
position to pay. By driving him to
the wall and robbing him of all that
constitutes his capital, he is Invested
of the power to meet his obligations.
Debt is not a crime 10 this country,
nor. is imprisonment for debt pen
atty. The man who owes, and either
cannot or will not pay, is subject to
civil prosecution, and the statues of
this State are extreme in their pro-
visions for the satisfaction of a judg-
ment creditor. Hence the Supreme
Court rightfully declares, in effect,
that there is no room in Missouri for
the Pinkertons who sail under the
color of the "bad debt collection
agencies. st. Louis Republic.

The state teachers institute for Alpena,
Montmorcncy and Oscoda counties will
be held at Hillman, commencing at 10
o'clock a. m, Monday, June 30, and clos
ing at 4 p. M, Friday, July 3. James
Francis, Iillman, local committee.
The value OF the instruction received at
these Institutes Is being very generally
recognized by teachers and school officers.
AS rule, 1t has been the experience OF
the county examiners and other examin-
ing officers, that the most successful
teachers arc those that have awaited
themselves of the normal instruction Of
fered by these local Institutes.
The daily sessions Of the Institutes for
this year will, as heretofore, be devoted
exclusively to topics Of special interest to
teachers, presented by persons of extend
cd practical experience as teachers, and
who have made special study of institute
work. The evening lectures will be Of a
popular character.
The institute law allows teachers,
whose schools are In session ut the time
appointed for the County Institute, held
under the direction OF the State Superin-
tendent, to close their schools during the
continuance Of such institute, without
FORGETTING their wages for as many hall
days as they are In attendance at the in
stitute. This provision Of law, and the
fact that there will be no enrolment OF
tuition fee exacted, should insure the at.
tendance Of every teacher In the county
who possesses the true professional
spirit.
Full particulars In regard to board, ETC.,
may be obtained upon application to the
local committee.
