NO ARGUMENT AGAINST PKoTEC,

NO ARGUMENT AGAINST PROTECTION.
1t is incomprehensible, as was pointed
out in these colUmns yesterday, that any
one should set up the annual disputes at
scale-signing time in the iron industry as
an argument against protection. But if
our contemporary, the Leader, wishes to
persist in deluding itself in that regard,
there is no law to prevent We shall soon
hear the riff-for-revenue-only and free
trade organs and speakers taking up the
text; and when they do it will be enough
to ask them in what year have there not
beenSuch differences between employed
and employers when making up their
scales? Is it not usual rather than other
wise? Were such disputes an argument
among intelligent people against protec-
ton in the past? If tariff for revenue
only, or free trade, were established,
would the conditions OF trade become
so prosperous and cheerful i'm
mediately that manufacturers and
worklngmen would be of one
mind from the first as to the scales for all
classes of labor? If an economic system,
by excluding the competition of the
products of cheap labor from abroad
makes general beneficial condition for
the home market should that system be
condemned because employers and en-
ployed differ when bargaining annually as
to the precise scale for distributing the
benefits? Would the state of the iron
market he improved and wages be raised
If protection were abolished and the
products of European mills allowed to
crowd out American manufactures?
To put these few simple questions is to
completely answer the most remarkable
special plea that because the iron manu-
facturers and the iron workers differ about
their scales for while, and threaten
lockout or strike as may be, therefore pro-
lection is at fault As stated yesterday,
no matter how high the degree of pros
perity both for the capital and the
labor of the country that protec-
ton might secure it cannot adjust the
special rates of wages in the various in
dustries. That must be done among the
particular persons engaged in those indus
tries. That is what those persons are now,
on both sides, endeavoring to do by con-
ference, and comparison of views, in the
iron and steel business; and THE DIS
PATCH, with the whole community, hopes
they may reach an amicable conclusion,
avoiding either strike or lockout.
But the idea that because the work of
signing the scale has to be gone through
with annually, and because the parties
usually put out extreme propositions at
first, therefore protection is condemned by
either is silly. Both manufacturer and
workingman know that without protection
there would not be much of scale to fight
about in many departments of American
industry that now contribute to the needs
alike of capital and labor Each will sup
port the protection policy, no matter how
they fight over the scales.

THE MICHIGAN LAW.

The decision of the Michigan Supreme
Court in favor of the constitutionality OF
the Miner electoral law of that State was
the only possible one, as THE DISPATCH
has taken occasion to remark heretofore;
but the impregnabiity of its constitutional
character is emphasized by the fact that a
Democratic measure is thus sustained by a
Republican tribunal The language of the
Constitution providing for the appoint
ment of electors by each State Gin such
manner as the Legislature thereof may
direct" left no doubt that the Michigan
law for the election of the Presidential
electors by districts was entirely within
the scope of the Constitution.
Nevertheless, it remains to be said that
the measure is purely partisan one, and,
though permitted by the Constitution, is of
character to be condemned by the peo-
pie. 1t takes advantage of constitutional
PERMISSION to use the principle for gaining
few electoral votes in one State while it
refuses to adopt the same principle in
States, where the Democrats have hope
of electing solid electoral delegation. If
there were the least disposition on the
part of the Democrats to follow Randolph
fuckers plan and adopt the principle in
Democratic States, then it would be a
party stand in favor of constitutional
principle. As it is, it is so plainly parti-
san departure from the universal practice
to catch few votes that it will earn the
public condemnation.
Such readiness to shift principles gen.
orally costs more than it is worth. The
effect in Michigan will be to arouse public
opinion so that the Democrats will gain
less votes than they expect; while, if the
same effect should lose them State or
two somewhere else, they might conclude
that their partisan grab was more danger
Gus at the breech than at the muzzle.

OUR NAIL POUCH.
Tho Navy Keelhauled.

To the Editor of The Dispatch.
In your issue of yesterday you seem an1.
tous that the Governments obtain Il, 900 sea
men at once, and which they need very
badly. You say there are so many other eX-
citing modes of making living that tho
youths of the country are no longer enticed
toward the navy. If you would learn the
true cause of Americans avoiding naval
service enlist for one year. / think before
you are there one month the truth will
dawn upon you vividly. 1t is the most ty-
ranfcal institution on earth. The naval off,
Ger is the most contemplate, miserable be-
ing that lives. There is no promotion tor a
seaman higher than master at arms. The
pay is $24 per month. No matter what
deeds OF valor or daring he may do or per-
form he cannot be promoted unless he
passes through the Naval Academy at An
napolis and is selected to that school by
some politician.
The despotism in the navy is terrible.
Men are punished for very trifling ofTenses,
snch as not answering an unheard order.
Punishment for this offense is to be spread
out spread-eagle like, hands and feet tied so
they cannot be moved, in the burning SUM-
for an example and to intimidate the crew.
The most cruel and deathly punishment is
the sweatbox-a place Just big enough to
is placed in and the door shut. Steam is ap-
piled at the bottom. Two hours of sIch
punishment will wreck the strongest. If he
survives the punishment he will not live
long afterward. Handcuffed to another for
a.week is the slightest and smallest punish
ment.
An officer can abuse and maltreat q seaman
with impunity. He cannot prefer charges
against him successfully unless lie has
an officer for witness. l was an eyewitness
to an outrage bearing on the above. During
the war an officer took q boats crew ashore
in Georgia. While on shore the officer be-
came intoxicated and took offense at some
thing seaman did, and slashed him ON
the ara with his sword, ma king an ugly
wound. After arriving on board vessel he
made complaint to the captain. "Who are
your witnesses?" None but seamen."
"Well. seaman cannot be a witness against
an officer; you have no case" But the
wound was apparent enough.
All this bOasting about armor-piercing
guns, swift sailing vessels, etc., may as well
be dispensed with until we get men to man
the guns and vessels, which will not be done
a fit habitation for human beings. There
must be promotion, better treatment, ETC.,
and drunkenness among officials stopped.
Ninety per cent of all naval officers die of
drunkenness. Until the abbve abuses are
corrected no American willy belittle himself
by entering the United States Navy. Some
one has said that the seamen in the navy are
New England men. That is wrong. Not 5
per cent are Americans. The majority are
South Americans, Peruvians, etc.. and a bad
mixture all through-a poor lot to depend
upon in time of war. BEFORE THE MAST.

pie as of the corporations, and might pre-
sent the possibility of Senate which
would not cover up the juggling of State
officials with the public funds. Such in
ducemeuts with the Senatorial result
guaranteed would make it well worth
while for the people of Pennsylvania to
take the subject into consideration.
But we fear there is little chance of that
much-to-be-desired consummation. lnde-
pendent movements do not thrive in
Presidential years, and there is reason for
suspicion that the esteemed Inquirer has
discovered mares nest.

THE reports of wars between the Protestant

THE reports of wars between the Protestant
and Catholic missionaries in Uganda have
been made the subject of explanations in
Parliament, and it is now reported that Cap
tain Lugard, British representative, is on
his way home to give further explanations.
One statement is that he will have material
to make Il book when he gets back. This
might be enlarged upon by saying that it
should take several volumes to explain how
the emissaries OF the gospel of peace, at the
close OF the nineteenth century, came to
discredit their own teachings among the
heather by a religious conflict.
