1t Don't Work.

The two blast furnaces of this
Valley, Bessie and Buchtel, which
were running until Il few days ago
have "blown out" their fires are
dead and an air of idleness per-
vades their precincts.
A difference Of opinion between
operators and workmen as to the
value of days labor is the alleg-
ed cause for the stop.
1t has been the loud and presis-
tent boast of the high tariff advo.
Gates that the one special effect of
the tariff robbery, is to increase the
wages of the workingman.
Every high tariff newspaper,
great or small, and every stump
orator from Mckinley to Gen. Gros-
venor has iterated and reiterated
the statement from every rostrum
in the land.
Under such circumstances it is
not to be wondered at, that the la
borers in and about Bessie and
Buchtel, made an effort to gather
some of the fruits of the legislation
specially designed for them, but
when the attempt is made they are
met with worse than failure.
They find the promises of the Re-
publican high protection howlers
to be like the tabled apples of the
plain of Sodom, fair on the outside,
but within, filled only with acrid
ashes.
1t does not meet the status of
the case to reply that the rate was
not changed on pig iron by the Nc
Kinley bill, for the rate was found
sufficiently high to suit the projec-
tors of that measure, and the claim
was arrOgantly made that the gen.
eral features of the measure were
such as to work great and benefi-
cial changes to the laborers in
every department of industry.
Most likely the claim of the iron
operators of this Valley are true,
and they, perhaps find it impossi-
BILE to give the men the advance
asked.
Competition in iron is fierce and
the Hooking Valley furnaces find
it hard to meet their southern com
petitors in the matter of prices, but
that does not aid the advocates of
high duties in the maintainance of
their claims as to the effect of their
doctrine on the business of the la
borer.
The conclusion of fact in the case
is that the tariff act does not act as
a lever to raise the price of labor
or to increase the demand for wOr-
krrs, but acts only to the direct
injury of every consumer in the
land, and its benefits, if any, goes
exclusively to the few who form
the trusts and combines which it
creates and fosters.
The only relief for the people is
to reduce the rates as low as is con-
sistent with ample revenue, and
thus reduce the cost of living.

LORD SALISBURY is preparing to
get down from his high horse assumed
in the Behring sea controversy. He
does not like to fall all at once, SO he
is preparing to drop down by easy
stages. The position he assumed in
the matter was a ridiculous one, and
it would seem that had he given the
matter due consideration before en-
tering upon such course, would
have saved himself the humiliation
of a backdown. But he undoubtedly
counted upon a strong opposition to
the Presidents course in this country
on account of the presidential cam
paign, and. hoped thereby to gain a
little political capital, to bolster up
his own falling fortunes. The posi-
tion he took in regard to the seal
fishery matter, was not calculated to
add to the glory of nation like Eng
land. 1t does not increase the conf
dence of the world in government,
to have it stand by and uphold poach-
ers. But John Bull likes to buster,
and half his pleasure in life would be
taken away if denied this right.

MOST COMMENDABLE.

The council acted wisely in the
matter of postponing action upon the
railway right of way matter at its
meeting Saturday evening, for as the
FREE PRESS said in its Saturday issue
it is a question of too much import
ance to be rushed through in hurry.
1t is matter in which other roads
are also interested, and now that the
Omaha has come to the front in the
matter and will probably be followed
by others, their interests should be
equally considered.
The fact that the Omaha is seri-
ously contemplating changing it's
tracks to the levee is matter of the
utmost Importance to the city, and is
one of the strongest arguments in
favor of the city retaining some con-
troll over the strip along the river, SO
as to be able to make arrangements
with the company so it's tracks can
be run through that part of town.
We do not believe there is a ques-
tion of greater Importance before the
city today than is that of securing
the removal of the Omaha track from
the streets it now occupies, and where
it is a nuisance to the residents there
on, to the levee, and now that the
company expresses willingness to
remove the same, if proper arrange
ments can be made, the city should
use every reasonable endeavor in that
direction. AS the city grows the need
of such removal will become more and
more noticeable, and the danger from
the track in its present location will
annually grow greater.
Then again, with the Omaha tracks
upon the levee, union depot is only
question of time, and thus the in
terests of the city will be the better
accommodated.

PEOPLE AND EVENTS.

Carnegie is said to have said that he
thinks himself worth S30,00O,O00 to
$50, 100000; that he will spend all be-
fore he dies, and that not cent shall
go to church.
Mr.. n. r. O'Conor, the new British
Minister to Pekin, was Secretary of
Legation at Washington between the
years 1885 and 1887. Since that time
he has been Consul General in Bull
garia. His promotion means an in
crease of salary from $4,000 to s27,-
500.
The killing of more than a score of
COWS that were part of Joseph E..
Glllingham'S noted herd of Jerseys,
at Clairmont Farm near Philadelphia,
has caused many influential residents
of that city to ask that the city
authorities shall provide for the sani-
tary inspection of dairy herds by
competent persons.
The first, and perhaps the only,
monument to Columbus in the United
States was erected in Baltimore in
1892, and ON Oct. II, the three humid
redth anniversary of the explorers
landing. 1t is slender shaft, with
out any etfigy, and stands in the
grounds of the Samuel Ready Orphan
Asylum. 1t was put up by General
Amanor, Frenchman.
One of the most striking pictures of
this years summer exhibition at the
British Royal Academy will be a Wis
ion of the ''Last Judgment" by Sir
Frederic Leighton. 1t is founded on
the words of ST. John the Divine
And the sea gave up the dead which
were in it," The picture is said to be
an original and powerful study, paint
ed in a style differing to very con-
siderable extent from that which has
been associated with President Leigh
tons name within recent years.
In Upper New York is an estate of
fourteen lots containing thirteen trees

1t Needs A Reminder.

Chicago Inter Ocean: A block of
ground in New York offered for sale
was once owned by Alexander Hamil-
ton and there are still standing the
thirteen trees the statesman planted
to represent the thirteen colonies.
Instead of allowing these trees to be
cut down to make way for business,
the city of New York should preserve
them and the ground about them as a
park. New York needs something of
this kind to remind the people that
there once lived patriot in that city
of Tammanv and cOrruptiOn.

KNOCKED OUT FOR THE PRESENT

The latest reports are to the effect
that the Bland bill has received its
quietus and will be allowed to gather
the dust of the ages in the pigeon
hole where it now lies. Speaker Crisp
declines to report cloture resolution
unless majority of the Democratic
representatives, will sign petition re-
questing him to so do. And it is
stated that Mr.. Bland admits that it
will be impossible to get such ma
joritY.
There is change coming over the
face Of Democracy. The Cleveland
star, which has for some time been
Obscured behind the Hill, is again in
the ascendant. The present state of
affairs atWashington has been brought
about by men whose fortunes are
linked with his. With the continu-
ance of the silver discussion and the
furthering of the free coinage scheme,
they see nothing ahead of them but
overwhelming defeat. Not a single
state north or east can they carry up
on such a platform.
But while they seem to be- success
full in managing affairs at Washing
ton, will they be as successful in the
convention at Chicago? Left to
themselves in the House, the silver
ties would have but little trouble in
carrying their point. But the Repub-
licans standing firm for honest mon
ey, makes it comparatively easy for
the anti-silver Democrats to block
the free silver scheme. Again, re-
move the presidential campaign from
the scene, and the silverites would
have but little trouble in carrying out
their desires.
Many of the Democrats who are
counseling postponement of further
consideration of the silver question,
are not prompted in this so much by
their desire to protect the honest
money system of the country, as in
warding off impending defeat.
What spectacle has been present.
ed 10y portion of the Democratic
press in its frantic appeal to the free
silver leaders to postpone further eff
forts in their line until after the APP
preaching election. The question
with them has not been argued as one
of principle, but simply matter of
victory or defeat In substance their
line of argument has been that it was
not right to endanger the chance
their party had for success by put
ting forth questionable measure:
that the said measure should be kept
in the background and not brought
forth until victory is assured. And
this they are apparently succeeding
in doing, for the present, at least.
But will they be able to maintain
this position when the hungry hordes
of Democracy are let loose at Chicago?
Then they will be met with the dec
laration Of the Republicans for an
honest currency, sound financial
policy. Will they meet it with one
equally as strong? Or will the free
silver wing predominant? Or, again,
will they attempt the usual straddle
OF Democracy, and put forth an ut
terance that will mean all things I'M
to all men? More likely the latter
idea will prevail.

weakness.

More Profitable for the Farmer.

ST. Paul Nears: Some three hundred
farmers met yesterday in the Cham
Der of Commerce at Denver to discuss
the question of beet culture and the
manufacture Of beet sugar. There
is vastly more prospect of profit for
them in that industry than there is
in the free coinage of silver.
