1t is worthy of note that English Free
traders, however much they strive by
voice and pen to help OH the cause of
their friends in America, are often found
adducing facts in proof of their theory,
Which are stoutly denied by their
nstrong siding champions" on this side
Of the Atlantic.
The corner stone of the tariff cOntro-
Versy en- this country is as to whether
our higher labor cost makes tariff on

has always been that we should manu-
facture for ourselves whatever nature
has fitted the country to manufacture as
we'll as other countries are fitted. But
We may be unable To nuke the things
nature has equipped us t0 make because
OF the low wages prevailing in other
countries. The products of this cheap
labor may come into the country at 80
low price as to prevent the production
OF similar goods by American high

manufacturer is forced to pay one dollar

paid ont of this for rent exactly $1.06 a
week or rOundly $55 year. For lights
he used candles and his coal cost him be-
tween So and $3.50 ton, the total ex-
penditure for the tVo being about $3.50.
He thought that the clothing of himself
and his family came to $50 year, noting
that what buy must be the cheapest"
1t does not call for the higher mathemat-
les to show that with these expenditures
the operative was left with about three
dollars and half week to feed, edu-
cate and amuse his family. The first
item, of course, was the all important
one. For breakfast he usually had
bread, butter and tea, with sometimes a
little bacon. For dinner there was meat
two or three times a week with bread
and potatoes, and for supper, bread. but
ter and tea with whatever may have been
left over from dinner. This bill of fare.
however, was better than the average.
A former president of the National
Union of Boot and Shoe Operatives told
Mr.. Terhune that the English shoemak-
ers as body did not have roast beef
more than once week, and then they
bought the shin and flank, which cost
from fourteen to sixteen cents a pound.
Now, these same operatives in this
country earn from S15 to $40 week.
Rents are probably cheaper in England.
but the accommodations are far differ
ent. Over there it is three to five rooms
in block built of brick or cement.
Those familiar with the neat wooden
houses, the open yards and free breath
ing spaces which are within the reach
of American workers, such as can be seen,
for instance, at Lynn, Br0ckt0n, Haver-
hill, Abingdon and other towns, do not
need to have this fact emphasized. Then,
too, there is not that wide variation in
the cost of the necessities of life that is
so loudly asserted by those who get their
political economy from Manchester Mr..
TerIune made a comparison of the Lon
don and Boston market lists for Oct. 1,
with this result:

advantage in certain articles Of clothing.
But it is to be noted that this item calls
tor only about sixth of his earnings,
while these latter are less than half
that of his American fellow craftsman.
Statistics may be juggled with. The
plsin statement of what man earns aud
what he has tO pay for the necessities
and comforts of life is capable of but one
honest interpre tatiOn.

Equality and Justice.

l am of opinion that the present system
of conducting criminal cases is not consist
ent with justice. Ibelieve l have sufficient
grounds on which to base the assertion that
justice is often blindfolded with cloak
manufactured from such materials as public
sentiment, w.t. elOquence, political power.
etc. 1t is almost as hard to convict rich
man as it is for ''camel to pass through
the eye of a needle" because he has money
at his command. Having money, he has
friends. and having friends, he has infiu-
ence. He is defended by eminent cOun-
sellers who. by their soft. glowing words,
lead the ordinary juryman away from the
true merits of the case. and the defendant
is either acquitted or let off with light
sentence. which. by the way. he seldom
serves. On the other hand. if a man is on
trial and without money. 1.-The law is al
lowed to take its course"
Now. let us look a little more closely into
this subject. If one corporation robs an
other, and the cause is ever brought into
the court. it is Corporation VS.. Corporation
but should John Smith steal five dollars
from you. the case in court would be en-
titled the State Tor People, VS.. John Smith.
The whole state has taken up arms against
John Smith. and when the ''culprit" is
safely landed behind prison bars, the people
breathe sigh of relief.
1t is the sacred duty of every man to aid
in the punishment of crime, but why is so
much interest taken in the latter, and so lit
tie in the former? The answer is obvious.
AS look around me, can see plainly the
work of an unjust court. on my right is
boy serving ten years sentence for steal
ing a few dollars from his friend while
they were both drunk. On my left is
man serving sentence of one year for going
to his neighbours door and shooting him
dead in cold blood.
Men all over the country are raising the
cry of reformation, but none of them have
struck the correct idea. They should begin
by reforming the courts. This could be &C
complished in the following manner: o.
exclude politics from the courts; elect
judges by popular vote for the term Of their
life. or as long as they act justly in all
cases brought before them-men who are
capable of judging, and who have the cour
age to stand by their convictions; (2) re,
strict lawyers from making any plea what
ever, either for or against one accused of
any Offense, cOnfine them to the presenta-
ton of evidence alone; 81 select men of in
telligence to act as jurors. In this way
Justice will not be dove tailed to dollars as
is so often the case nowadays.

THOUGHTS TRAVELS.

The gong sounds, we turn in; the lights
go out; we are in darkness and solitude, the
victims of thought We are only thought
in the dark. Thought is impalpable and
goes where it lists asking naught of walls,
bars and locks. 1t queries, ''What is the
great world dOing?" Then thought plumes
itself for flight and is off, fitting from point
to point and scene to scene like swift
winged bird in the forest. No chains can
bind it. no walls Obstruct it, no marksman
bring it to earth. Away to the parent nest,
fitting hither and thither among familiar
scenes; then away to the teeming city, its
hustle, hustle, turmoil and trouble; away
over plains, over rivers, from mountain
peak to mountain peak, over the ocean from
continent to cOntinent-it runs, it bounds.

Here is the Ethics of Gambling" as laid
down by Rev. S. w. Sample at the Lyceum
in st. Paul last Sunday evening:
Whoever seeks to get the better of his fellow.
and receive more than he gives in business
transaction, is as much of gambler if he
played cards at Monte Carlo or Baden Baden. If 1
were preaching from worldly standpoint Iwould
say to the young man. "Do not begin gambling on
a small SCALE If you steal So that is theft. If
you are wealthy and steal $1,000 worth of silks
from some store, that is kleptomania. If you sue
coed IN defraudng your business associates of a
million or two million. that is fnancering If by
any possibility your gains amount to $4,000 600,
that is genius. Kill one man and it Is murder.
Kill million men, become Napoleon; pesti-
lence, menace to mankind. and you will be
called. as Napoleon is, great-great in infamy. If
you must gamble, don't buy lottery ticket; don t
go to gambling hell. Speculate.

TO THE PUBLIC.

THE PRISON MIRROR is a weekly paper pub.
lished in the Minnesota state prison All matter
published in its columns is contributed by the
inmates, except that properly credited. Its sup
port must come from the outside as every inmate
is given a paper without cost. 1t is published in
the interest of the prison library and after paying
for the printing outfit. contributed $3.50 to the
library fund the first year. Its objects are to en-.
courage individual intellectual effort, provide a
healthy journal for the inmates of this and other
prisons, and, above all. to acquaint the outside
world with the needs of the prison by rejecting
its inner life and thus aid the cause Of moral ad.
vancement and prison reform.

The practical printer who has been am
bilious enough to study and train himself
for journalism will take the lead of the col
legian of equal fortune. He is in position
to wait his opportunity. and to bargain for
his services. and generally receive compen-
sation in some degree approXimating his
value to the journal in whose service he is
employed. The cOllegians are generally. if
their means are limited, so DESTROYS of get
ting situation. that whatever is offered
them is accepted, and when employed it is
the accomplishments which they have &C.
quired. With the man of independent
means. who thinks he has taste for jour
nalism. the opportunities. as in other pro.
LESSONS. are more favorable. but to none
but the printer journalist is the intuition of
what journalism should be more largely
given.--The Inland Printer.

] A Victory for Liberal Catholicism.

1t may we'll be that future historians of
the Catholic church in the United States
will regard the pope's approval of Arch
public and parochial schools as an epochal
event.
Of course. Archbishop Ireland's method
satisfies extremists in neither church. The
rabid Protestant, who is never truly happy
except when describing the horrors of an
impending Catholic war. joins Archbishop
COrrigan in denouncing the Faribault plan
as dangerous makeshift. This is really
an excellent recommendation of it. i.
1t is the first step which costs in such mat
tiers. The Roman Curia knows this as we'll
as anybody, and must be perfectly aware
that in giving official federation to the be-
ginnings of the scheme of union, it is prac
tically inviting wide extension of it. It
is as what may prove to be the origin of a
widespread and mOmentOus change in Cath
olic policy regarding our public schools that
we think the triumph of Archbishop Ire
land should be welcomed. If it finally
leads PrOtestants as well as Catholics to
abandon their too numerous practices in
violation of the American principle of alb
sOlute separation between church and state.
it will be means of great public good.
1t is easy to eXaggerate the Importance
of such new departure, but it is also easy
to underestimate it, Many of the turning
points in history pass unperceived by con-
| tempOrarieS. One thing at least is clear:
that the Holy See is making precedents in
favor of liberal and popular institutions.
which it will be very hard to reverse in the
future. The decision in the matter of the
schools at Faribault may be set alongside
the recent papal letter to the French bishops
enioining upon them hearty acquiescence in
the republic. On some points-such as the
temporal power and pontifical privileges
the bishop of Rome still fumes and frets
like medieval pope; but in many mpor-
tant respects Leo shows himself man of
the nineteenth century. aware that the
church. like government. must rest upon
the consent OF the governed. New York

There is Job for the fool killer in St..
Paul. In the course of a dreadful tongue
flashing of the Roman Catholics by one of
the Sanity City divineS, last Sunday. be-
fore his congregation. asserted that in
Detroit. Mich. some $4,000 armed men
were being regularly drilled. and that every
one of them is Roman Catholic. The
inference to be drawn is that this armed
force is to be used by the church in a war
to gain temporal power in the United States.

A PENlTENTIARY NIOBBED.

About two O'CLOCK Saturday nlgnC MOP
broke into the penitentary at Little Rock.
Ark, and dragged therefrOm a Negro
and hanged him. He had been guilty of
dreadful crime and perhaps deserved his
fate. But what excuse had the honorable
citizens of Little Rock for thus violating
the law and dragging the dignity of their
state in the mire? There is but one excuse
they are not vet civilized. They have not
yet reached the standard of civilization of
the American Indian of to day for he no
longer burns his captive at the stake. while
Arkansans do. 1t was not long ago and not
far from Little Rock lat Texarkana) that the
people burned Negro at the stake, and
danced and whooped around as the poor
wretch writhed and cracked in the flames.
Citizens of the United States may boast of
their higher civilization, but in what other
country of the world. classed as civilized,
are such barbarous acts perpetrated as in
this country? This is great and glorious
country and it has millions of as good,
noble inhabitants as can be found on earth,
but it also has some of the most lawless,
british people that ever disgraced the name
of freemen. They cause the finger of deriS-
ion to be pointed at their country and its
liberal form of government, but they care
not so long as they may indulge their own
passions of greed and revenge. UndOubt-
eddy this vicious element as it exists to- day
in communities will disappear with the
coming generation. Mob law is no longer a
necessity in any corner of the United
States, unless it be mob law to punish
mObs. So long as ten or twenty men may
murder with impunityit is not very dgni
fed of our courts to hang one man when he
kills some one he thinks deserving of death.
Was greater judicial farce ever played in
court of law than that which took place
in Wisconsin a few months ago when a
mob" was tried for murder, acquitted and
sent to an insane asylum from which every
one was released few weeks later? The
excuse offered for mObs is that men are
driven to take the law in their own hands
because of the failure of regularly estab-
llShed courts to inlet adequate and prompt
punishment. In neither of these Arkansas
cases could this excuse be put forward.
The courts of that state were never known
to delay Furnishing Negro. and for such
crimes as they committed he is usually
punished sufficiently to satisfy any PERSONS
desire for revenge. 1t is nearly always the
wretch whom discriminatve God would
excuse for crime that the mob vents its fury
upon--beings that are never allowed to
profit through the laws delays. the cunning
of eminent counsel or the power Of money.
To say that mObs are born of the lax adj
ministratiOn of justice is a subterfuge,
otherwise mobs would punish those big
criminals that debauch justice and defy the
power of courts.
