THE RIGHT TO LIVE AND WORK.


A few days ago Recorder Smyth, of
New York, sentenced to imprisonment
for life one Charles Reilly for killing
one James Kelly about a year ago.
Reilly was a striking 'lonRshoreman.
and he killed Kelly because. being
non-uniOn man, he applied for work in
an establishment where a strike was go
ing on. The court and jury refused to
recognize the right of striker to kill
non-uhion man. and Reilly was found
guilty of murder.
On the same day that Reilly was
sentenced a non-union truck-driver in
New York, who had been out of work
for six weeks, and whose wife and baby
were sick, applied for work in an es-
tablishment where strike was in prog
ress. A little later he was hit on the
head with brick, thrown by striker,
and killed. His wife and child are un-
provided for
1t is to be hoped that when just set
Element of the labor question is finally
effected. some provision will be made
guaranteeing to non union men the right
to live.

America should adopt free trade,r he
goes on to say, ''they would probably be
reduced e-half and become equal to the
wages paid in England" This is not
the statement of a "robber baron of a
manufacturer, nor that of Republican
campaign orator or newspaper, but
of an Englishman who occupies
prominent position in the tin
plate industry in Wales. He is
not fooled by any such nonsense as that
the American mechanic or laborer docs
enough more work in day to make up
for the difference in wages, because he
knows better. Except for the advantage
of superior machinery. he knows that
the American workman produces no more
goods than does the English. To him
the ocean across which freight can be
carried at mere nominal cost Is only a
channel separating the factories of the
two countries, and he knows that when
the American double wages are not pro-
tected Ivy having all the American mar
ket they must fall. and when trade be-
tween the two countries is absolutely
free wages must be nearly equal.

SENATOR VEST stated in a speech de-
]iversd few days ago that the price of
land had steadily decreased during the
last few years in Missouri and other
agricultural States. Two or three SEN
ators from other agricultural States
promptly responded that it was not so
in their States. The Iowa State Regis
ter says:
During the last FIVE years lands in this
State have advanced on an average nearly
SO vs. per cent. Lands that two years ago
cold tor $50 an acre to-day sell for $50. 1t
Is impossible TO buy good farming lands
within a radius of seventy-fivo or hundred
miles of Des MONIES for less than $50
an acre. Choice tracts are selling for S75
In many sections. and very favOrably To-
GATED tracts have brought high 500
an acre for agricultural purposes. In north
ern and 0rthwestern Iowa lands that a
few years ago could be bought for IS an
acre to-day cannot be had for S15. In fact,
Sl5-an-Acre land is scarce in Iowa; that 10
good Land. Farm lands are not decreasing,
they are continually rising in value.
1t ia evident that Senator Vests as
sertion was not true of any other State
than Missouri, and. If true there, it is
because that State has been regarded as
hopelessly Democratic. If the Repub-
licans should carry the State this fall, as
there 10 some prospect of their doing,
there would be speedy advance in the
price of lands.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1892-08-01

THE Supreme Court of the United
States has decided that it is not inter-
state commerce where freight is trans
ported from one point in State across
a portion of another State and delivered
at point in the same State. That de-
cision seems unnecessary. since inter-
state commerce is traffic between a
but n railroad company which shipped
goods from one point in Pennsylvania
across a portion of New Jersey to a
point in the former thought otherwise
and resisted State tax on the ground
that State cannot tax interstate COM
merce. The Supreme Court has taught
the company better.
