FREE TRADE m MEN.

'stlands on BmmI srstson" u the Keynote
og nigh Protection.
Yes, men are on the free list They
cost us not even freight We promote
free trade in men. and IL Is the only
free trade ! am prepared to promote, +"
said Hon. William d. Kelley. Of Penn
sylvania. the leader Of the high pro-
tectionists in congress in 1874
Ever since the contract labor law Of
1894 was sandwichcd in between the
internal revenue laws Of 1862 and the
tariff OF 1854 free trade in men" has
been the keynote for the high protec-
ZIONIST policy. This contract law went
SO far Ia its promotion Of free trade
in men" as to provide that manufactur-
ers who i'm ported their workmen should
have q first lien upon the workmen's
wages 10 reimburse them for their ex-
penscs
So persistentlv have the protection
lists advocated free trade in men" that
to-day thousands Of workmen are en-
ployed IN the coal mines and iron mills
Of Pennsylvania whose names are not
put down upon the day books Of the
manufacturers. but who are designated
in the pay rolls BY numbers alone.
That the bene fciaries of high pro-
tectionism will see to it that this pol
icy Of promoting free trade in labor
shall not be changed Is shown by the
following statement made by Andrew
Carnegie just before embarking at Liz.
erpool for the United States Mr.. Car
ncgie, in reply 70 the question. 'What

checked fiooi Of undesirable immigra-

say. hands of imm igratiou."
When the Mckinley tariff was being
discussed its promoters demanded its
enactment on two grounds:
First-To provide work for the un-
employed in new industries; and
Second-To provide home market
for our surplus farm products
Nothing was more prominent than
the protcctionist assertion that the
labor market was congested, and that
chr far--ers we're differing from over
production But nov that the ta iff
bill which they advocated has become
q law they are using every effort tc
keep the labor market congested. and
at the same time 70 continue the over
production OF farm products This
means low wages for working men and
low prices for farm products At the
same time the real bene ficiaries Of the
tariff. BY the formation OF trusts to reg
ulate prod actin and raise prices, will
see 10 II that they get all tho bonus the
tariff allows. Free trade in labor, the
the only thing the workman has to sell,
and high duties upon everything the
workman has 70 buy. Is the keynote Of
high protect:onismL
How long will IL be before the farm
ers and working men will see through
this hypocrisy?

plotting combination . year ago last

ayers Of that corn binstion were in ses-
sion at Chicago when Mr.. Mckinley, at
their suggestion, caused to be inserted
In the bill the curious proviso designed
to prevent the importation Of window
glass Ia boxes containing more than
fifty square feet. That combination
was dissolved owing 10 the hostile atti-
tudc Of two or three man nfacturers up
on whose adhesion the makers Of the
organization had relied.
Some Of our high tariff contcm-
poraries asserted that IL was scared
out Of existence bv the antitrust law.
Concerning the new movement the
Iron Age says: ''The idea Is to oper-
ute all the plants In the combination

Woonsocket News: Recently we heard
4 talented speaker compare the striking
iron-mill hands at Carncgie's works to
Il farm hand who should cease work and
try to keep others from accepting the
reduced wages offered by his late en-
ployer. The case is not the same, and
for this reason. The farmers produce
is not protected by tariff. 1t cannot
be, because he has Il surplus which must
be sold in the markets Of the world at
the worlds price, and he must hire in the
cheapest market because lie must sell in
competition with the world Not so with
Carnegie. The consumers Of the United
States are taxed by the tariff for the eX-
press purpose of allowing his laborers
higher wages than can be paid in Eng
land, The public that are thus taxed
have a moral, il not legal, right TO in
sist that the lahorers shall have some of
the benefits of the money thus taken
from them, and that it shall not all go to
enrich the owner of the mills. But this
right Carnegie denies, and his manager
Frick refuses to show what the enormous
profits of this protected buainess amoun!
to. The following is a portion of the in
teryiew between him and the congress
siOnal committee last week.
Mr.. 0ate5-What is the cost OF produc-
ton per ton?
Mr.. Frick-I don't think that is a fair
question. don't think you shoGld ask
that.
Mr. Tay!or-Would you object TO tell
the cost of a ton OF steel. including every
thing?
Mr. Frick-ies, sir; would have the
same objection.
MIR. Boatner-You don't propose TO
give away any of the secrets OF the trade
| Mr. l'rick No. sir; not yet.
Mr.. 0ates-Will YOU state the labor
cost alone?
MI. Frick That would be equivalent
to stating the whole cost.
Evidently Mr.. Frick declined to ans
wcr these plain questions because todo
dose would saTe proved that steel can he
manufactured here at as low, or perhaps
at 4 lower cost, than in England. The
ghastly humh"s Of a tariff to "protcct
| American labor" which in fact does
nothing hut enrich the monopoiists OF
| the east at the expense OF the west and
south, is at last being wiped out with the
blood OF the murdered men shot down by
the hired assassins of the steel manu-
factHrcs's trust.

col.c ant, cno,era Morbus.

Collie, cholera morbus, cramn and
many other affections of the stomach
and bowels prevalent at this time Of year
aredne TO two causes. First, the depress-
ing effect of the hot weather upon the
nervous system, and second the use of
green fruit, cucumbers. melons, etc. No
one is safe from painful and even
dangerous attacks of these affections
unless unusual precautions are taken at
this time OF year. A tablespoonful of.Pe-
ru-na taken before each meal is Il COM
plete protection against these maladies.
Pe-ril-na is not only preventative of
collie, cholera morbus, cramps, stomach
ache, summer diarrlloea and cholera,
but Is also n prompt cure for these
diseases. Where the attack is very
severe and painful wine-glassful of
Pe-ru-na should be taken at once, fol-
lowed by two tablespoonful doses until
complete relief is obtained. This never
fails.n IN single case. In cases of less
severity a tablespoonful every hour Is
sufficient, No one should neglect the
precaution OF taking a dose of Pe-lu-na
before each meal, until the hot season is
over.

1T DOESN'T FOLLOW.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean says that if it
hadn't heen for the fostering hand of
the customs duties levied on iron and
steel all such works as those owned by
Carnegie and his business associates in
Pennsylvania and by the Illinois Steel
company at Chicago. Joliet and Miiwau-
kce could not have existed How our
contemporary knows this it doesn't say.
The assumption itmakes is a common
one with protectionists, but it is note
worthy that none OF them ever take the
trouble to prove it. As iron and coal lie
nearer to the surface here than in any
other country on the globe, and there is
more inventive genius in tie United
States than any European land can
boast of, we may we'll conclude that ii
trade had been left unfettered iron and
steel industries would have been devei-
Oped in response to- the demand. of in

Doubtless called into existence many
factories which otherwise would net

this by no means proves that il there had
been no protection the industries would
not have como in the natural course OF
events. They would come with the de.
mand for them. And coming in this
way would impose no taxation OH tht
