The Logic of the Situation


From the New York Evening Post.
IL is of the essence of the theory of prote G.
ton that the free exchange of the products of
labor should be restricted in order that tn ose
who have procured the restrictions may dis
pase Of their products at enhanced prices.
To accomplish this eud they resort to the very
means which they condemn ghep resorted to
by laborers, viz, eompulsol. They endeaVor
to deprive those who would employ their cap
ital in certain directions of the opportunity
to use it as they choose, Just as the Home
stead leborers endeavor to regulate their EN-
ployersi use Of their own property. They
endeavor to prevent lahoFers from selling
their labor in a free market for the best price
that It viii bring just as the trade'unionists
endeavor to prevent non union laborsrs from
working at trades which the unionists wish to
monopolize. If it is UNSUITABLE for an Amer
lean manufacturer to compel the farmer who
CELLS his wheat in Liverpool to pay a tax upon
the elothiqg qr tools that he receives in ex-
change, or else to pay higher price for the
protected articles. it is justihahle for the
Homestead workmen to compel their employ
ers to pay them higher wages or else allow
their works to lie idle. If it is right for
American manufacturers to force their fellow
citizens TO buy their wares through the means
of protective tariff, it cannot be wrong for
American laborers to force the manufacturers
to buy theif SERVICES by excluding fellow
laborers from the composition,

Where the Fashions Come From.

Fashion is called "nckle fad" and YET every siyle
is designed with special object in view Omen
the manu- iaeturer has created some new material
which he intends to place before the merchant; to
make Che best impression possible he has samples OF
the new material PLACED with some of the best
goods, its color and texture. and its combinations
with other color and materials While experiment.
ing with the material they create some new style 10
attract attention; these designs reproduced In
colored plates sent to all prominent dealers to
give Them an idea of the value Of the new material
Ifthese styles are liked they become the fashion.
Sometimes dress made for some leading artist
who has to dress as well as act the character in the
play, is often so besutiful or unique as to cause
sensation aud it Immediately becomes all the rage.
Most large establishments IN Paris have special
artists who furnish them each month with eeriaiR
number of new styles suitable for the and the
new materials. From these the best are selected
aud the garment made up accordingly.
The reason Ia JEode dc Paris, Paris Album q Fash

those that reliable is because they are at the very
fountain head of Fashion and know Just what is
going to be popular. When you get fashion jour

An Empty Treasury.

According to the Washington corresDon-
dent of the Philadelphia Ledger there is
likely to be deficit in the United States
treasury this year of forty millions OF dol
lars. of the fifty-fve millions left in the
treasury on June 30, 1890, by the Cieve-
land Administration, but twelve millions
remain. the forced loan Of fity-four mil
lions of the bank note redemption fund Is
gone; the payments to the sinking fund
have been suspened, and overdue bonds OF
the government are unpaid. Some seventy
millions of the recent appropriations by
Congress were necessary because OF leglsla-
ton by the Billion Dollar Congress, and
the estimated receipts for the present year
are some fifty-three millions less than the
appropriations, with only about twelve mil
lions in the treasury to cover the dehclen-
ey. The payments to the sinking fund have
been suspended for the first time since the
war, and if the people don't vote out the
Harrison Administration increased taxation
is inevitable.

A Century of Strikes.

A list of the important strikes which have
been inaugurated in this country was recently
published in the ST. Louis Age Of Steel. 1t
appears that the initial strike of American
labor was in 1876, and was undertaken by the
iourneymen bootmakers of Philadelphia to
force up their wages. This demonstration
was only partially successful, and was repeat
ed in 1898 and 1899 The trouble was not
settled in 1905, and the ringleaders were i'm
prisoned for making conspiracy to increase
their wages.
In 1915 the shoemakers of Pittsburg stopped
work, and their claim for higher wages also
ended in the leaders being sent to Jail. The
first printers strike was in Albany in 1921,
and was protest against employing non
union men. In 1884 concerted movement
for higher wages was inaugurated on the
Providence Railroad, and the militia was
-:i.s~,.--l = BE-
came necessary to call out the troops TO pro-
tect property.
The ironmakers struggle in the Pittsburg
district began in 1912. 1t broke out with re-
newed vigor in 1915, and in 1850, when the
women heated bars in the furnances and
used them for weapons. Labor demonstra'
tons were frequent and costly down to 1877,
when the great railway tie up occurred, cost

Since then no year of our country's history
has passed without these labor disturbances.
In 1880 alone there were 1872 Of them, and,
from 1881 to 1886, over $500 strikes were
reported, involving not less than 100000
men and -, 800 establishments. Others since
then will be readily recalled, and they have
been growing more numerous, more expen-
sive and less effective down to the present
year.

Where Has the Money Gone P
Philadelphia Becord.

Bnllduelpnld DecOru.
In his recent campaign in Nebraska Gov
ernor Mckinley treated with high protection
list scorn the economic doctrine that coun-
try which will not buy cannot sell. To prove
the absurdity of this doctrine he showed that
during the last fiscal year the people of the
-S,sfA s49la N Eaa.ai Saa.ss z1nn-aan 900
more than they bought from them. 'This
sum- he exclaimed, ''has been paid us by
the foreigners, and we have it right here in
the United States in circulation among the
people" High duties on imports, the tariff
Napoleon assured his auditors, had not only
not obstructed trade, but had also brought to
this country in the last twelve months an
enormous balance in hard cash.
II this be true, the question naturally
arises: What has become of the money ?
The Treasury Department publishes every
month an official statement of the amount of
currency circulating in the United States.
On December |, 1891, this amount was ST.
ST.. 0OO, 600, aud on August l., 1892, it was
81, 800, 900, 900. The increase of $23, 900, 900
in circulation is easily accounted for in the
issue of treasury certificates for the purchase
of silver bullion under the act of 1890. But
where has gone the 500, 900, 900 and upward
which Governor Mckinley says has been paid
TO the farmers of the United States by foreign
purchasers of their wheat, corn and flour !?
I'VE have McKinley's solemn assurance that
his tariff act has produced an enormous ''bal-
ance of trade in favor of this country, and
that the foreigners have paid this balance in
hard cash. But the official reports of the
government give no hint of the whereabouts
of this money. On the contrary, the official
reports show that during the last fiscal year
the exports of gold and silver coin and bullion
exceeded the imports to the amount Of Sl3,-
35l 900, notwithstanding the large favorable
.'balanoe of trade

Strike Failures.

other railroad employees refusing to join
them. Thus ends what promised to be a

The Homestead strike was failure also.
Indeed every strike Of any magnitude this
year has resulted in defeat for the work
men. Il said, however, great storm is
gathering fos next year, when general

road, wall be inaugurated in May. Strikes
will not be successful until all labor is organ

ISSUES OF THE CAMPAIGN.
They Are Strongly Presented by Hon.
Henry &. Turner. of Georgia.


Hon. Henry G. Turner, of Georgia, one of
the ablest members of the National House
of REPRESENTATIVES, has replied to the COM
mittee appointed to notify him of his noml-
nation by the Democracy of the eleventh
district as their candidate for Congress. In
his letter of acceptance is the following pre-
sentation of the issues Of the campaign
at is now apparent that the great contest
in which the American people are about to
engage for the presidency and the control OF
Congress will be fought by the leading parties
on the historic issues of 1890. The Republi-
can party tenders us battle on the old line of
high taxation and the federal control of the
elections. If that party succeeds we will
again have Reed as Speaker and Mr.. Harri-
son as President ofthe United States. These
leaders of the party, it is well known, exert
ed with unsparing hand the vast influence OF
their high stations during the last Congress
to pass the Mckinley bill and the force bill.
The former became a law at the first session
of that Congress, and the latter, having pass
ed the House at the same session, failed in
the Senate at the second session by vote OF
50 to A. After an overwhelming defeat at
the polls on this issue, and with five Republi-
can Senators voting with us, only one vote
stood between us and destruction. Ii the
Republican party had carried the election Of
1890, would not the Senate have passed the
bill? And if that party should carry the
country this fall with these candidates and
upon this issue, does any reasonable man
doubt that this atrocious measure will be put
on our people?
''By the singular hardship of our situation,
at no time within generation haze the white
people of the south been able to divide with
OUT ruin The divisions of 1860 and 1868,
with their dreadful train of disasters aud OPP
pressions, were bad enough; but our enemies
still left us, in measure at least, the right
to hold our own elections. BY a manly and
united assertion of this right we recovered
our liberties in 1870
''When those who Inundated and Cypress
ed us then openly propose to strip us of this
last resource of lreemen, shall we disband the
old guard of freedom in the face of the foe?'

What It's For,


Mr.. Carroll d. Wright, the United States
commissioner of labor, in 1890, published a
statement of the cost of the labor in a ton of
steel rails. Taking the labor in the ore, coal.
coke, pig and finished rail he found the en-
tire labor cost of ton of steel rails to be SILL.
81. This being so, the protectionist argument
that the tariff duty on English steal rails
ought to be equal to the difference between
the cost of labor in England and here can be
intelllgently applied. Mr.. Wright states that
the entire labor in ton of steel rails made in
England is $751; The difference between
$11.59 and 1871 is 1918, so that on protec.
ZIONIST principles the duty should be 1918
per ton. But as matter of fact, the McKin-
ley duty is Sl3.44 1t is nearly four times too
much on the protectionist's own basis. So
the tariff is not for labor, but bonns to CAPT
tal

The Taxed Blankets.

The st. Louis Republic says: From Oc
tober /, 1890, to June 80, 1891, 81 pounds
ofbIankets were imported under the Mckinley
bill. Their original cost was S23,4 49, cost
with the Mckinley tax added was $43,30l.
It. will be seen that this tax was virtually
prohibitory. Mr.. Mckinley now claims that
the foreigner pays the tax Here is a case
one of hundreds-where the tax is made so
high that Americans are not allowed to buy
goods from foreigners who ''pay the tax"
Only the best grades of blankets could be i'm
ported under the tax, for, as will be seen
from this official table, the lowest tax is i'm
posed on the finest grade, the higher taxes on
the coarsar.
