Tho Logic of the Situation.

Il is of the essence of the theory Of pro-
lection that the free exchange of the prod
ucts of labor should be restricted in order
that those who have procured the r~estric-
tlons may dispose Of their products at en-
HANGED prices. To accomplish this end
they resort to the very means which they
condemn when resorted to by laborers,
viz, o%ompulsion. They endeavor to de-
Erive those who would employ their capi-
tai in certain directions Of the opportunity
to use it as they choose, just as the Home
stead laborers endeavor to regulate their
employees use Of their own property.
They endeavor to prevent lsborers from
selling their labor in q free market for the
best price that it will bring, just Al the
t. ades- unionists endeavor to prevent nou-
union laborers from working ut trades
which the unionists wish to ~monopolize.
II it is justifiable for an American manu-
factuter to compel tho farmer who sells hia
wheat in Liverpool to pay a tar upon the
clothing or tools that he receives in ex-
change, or else to pay q higher price for tho
protected articles, it is justifiable for the
Homestead workmen to compel their en-
ploysrs to pay them higher wages or else
allow their works to lie idle. If it IL right
for American manufacturers to force their
the means OF a protective tariff. 1t cannot
be wrong for American laborers to force the
manufacturers to buy their services by ex-
Guiding fellow labors from the competition.

WHERE WEALTH LIES,

In the absence of mineral discoveries
SO rich as to create a general excitement
it is evident that population dependent
on that branch of productive industry
must increase with comparative slow
ness.
The depreciation of the value of silver
tends also to dampen the ardor of pros
pectors and add to the indisposition of
capitalists to expend their mean in ex
ploration. 1t is evident therefore that
efforts to multiply the population Of this
state must be directed into other chan
nels. Thoughtful minds in this dilemma
turn naturally to Its agricultural posi-
bilities, and the best methods Of en-
hanclng their attractions.
The thirty millions of people in the
eastern states engaged in husbandry
constitute IN immense reservoir, which
once successfully tapped, will enable us
quickly to populate all unoccupied
arabic lands.
The stream nee turned this way will
increase in volume and rapidly broaden
into a marching army Of immigrants.
How best to reach and direct them is
the question.
One of the main obstacles to over
come is the Indifference, if not hostility
of the resident population who deride
agriculture as an occupation of in
ferior caste. They see in occasional we'll
titled fields such visions of excellence
and abundance as to make the story,
when told, a strain on credullty, and
yet their Indifference is not touched.
They know that in the valleys of Mon
tana natures laboratory has done it's
choicest work of fertility, that the
mountains hold in friendly embrace the
fluid whose magic contact makes gar
dens out of waste, that the Suns chem
istry of light takes long days for most
effective work, that eager hands hold
out generous recompense for all harvest
results, that health and strength stimu-
late the arms and gladden. the hearts of
all who work, and yet they chill the en-
thusiasm of agricultural promoters by
expressions Of doubt and Of disbelief in
| success.
A consideration of the advantages
leads n to inquire what possible OF
conceivable combination for reliable
growth and maximum of yield could bet
ter be formed? In what country and
cline do similar opportunities exist?
The children of fortune who have
wallowed in the easily acquired min.
eral riches of Montana must be brought
to a realizing sense of the importance oil
the soil as an element OF wealth.
They must be converted to the under
standing that the agricultural destiny
of the state is one which, for human en-.
richment, will exceed the widest dreams
of the gold and silver hunter.

Tho Decline Of Base Ball.

A large white stone should be erected by
the voluntary contributions of persons Of
intelligence in commemoration of the now
m%oribund summer Of 1892. It is an epoch
in the advance of common sense, for il
marks the beginning Of the decline and fall
Of the base ball iaiocy.
Many phenomena unite to Justify the
glad hope that the American mind is free
ing itself from it's paretio infatuation for
ball-tosslng hippodromes conducted by
hired men whose intelligence 10 as slender
as their biceps are monstrous, It has been
possible this summer for a gentleman to
walk home from his office of an evening
without being salutsd by the shrill cries of
whats the scorer" The sidewalks,
have not been blocked by sporty
throngs gazing upon bulletin
boards affording the important information
that u lot Of brakemen, farm laborers,
teamsters and roustabouts hired by a Gin
oinnati corporation had been able to run
more times around \ rhomboid CO 1rse
than a like aggregation OF yokels in
the pay of a Chicago concern. The
penny afternoon papers have not is-
sued those journalistic enormities,

other to get first sn the street, and in the
effort effectively conoealinc by bad typog-
raphy and blotchy processes of printing
without type the very news they protested
to publish. Errand boys have ceased to
dabble in cheap pools, and the salaried man
has been able to bog an afternoons freedom
because of illness without feeling that his
employer regards him as q consummate liar
headed for the bleaching boards and a still
hotter place ultimately. The evidence of
casual observation Ia tenfold strengthened
by the celebrity with which professional
clubs belonging to the lesser leagues have
gone into bankruptcy and the unanimity
with which those eminent gentlemen COM
monty called base hall magnates" have
reached the conclusion that it Ia unnecessary
to pay a low-browsd human animal more
money for hurting a ball than a college
president can ever hope to earn. It has
been a summer Of returning sanity and no
mistake. r..
Now that Americans are beginning to see
that there can be no real rivalry between
hired athletes it may be hoped that they
will in time como to see the folly OF hiring
others to pursue athletic sports for them.
The man who plays base ball 10 doing him
self a service, hardening his muscles, ex-
banding his chest. frightening his days.
The man who sits in a cramped space in the
grand stand and adde's his brain with pei
centages and records is fortunately disap-
pearing rapidly from American life.-Chi-

TARIFF EVILS.

In MI. S%pringer's admirable speech at
Detroit Thursday, he emphasized one
fact which high tariff advocates care
fully aboid. III protection has accom-
plished SO much for the country it must
also be held responsible for the evils
which have grown up under protection,
and are fostered by it." Those who are
given to ascribing the unexampled crops
Of the last two or three years solely to
the influence Of more taxes have entire
ly neglected to state the disadvantages
and evils which have grown up in the
country since the institution Of tariff
for protection. While crediting the
system with big crops in Kansas, Ne
braska and the Dakotas the past two
seasons, it must also be credited with
the decade OF short crops or no crops
preceding. II the prosperous years
enjoyed by the stock raisers OF Montana
are due to high protection, the washouts
on Montana railroads, which democrat
lied several systems and cost upwards
OF a million dollars in repairs, must also
be attributed to the same cause, for
both are incidents of the weather, and it
is just as ridiculous to allege that the
tariff is responsible for one as it is for
the other. If protection is to be credited
with the establishment OF some half a
dozen pearl button and tin plate manu-
featuring plants in this country, it must
be charged with driving into bankruptcy
in the last few years 100000 individuals,
firms and corporations engaged in vari-
ons lines or business. If the tariff, as is
undoubtedly the case, is responsible for
the rapidly multiplying millions Of Car
negie, it is also responsible for the
million men in the country out of work
and out of money. For every million
aire product of the tariff there are ten
thousand tramps. For every million
are product OF the tariff there are a
thousand mortgagod farms. For every
millionaire product of the tariff thtre
have been hundred of strikes and lock-
outs involving tens OF thousands of
workingmen. For every millionaire
product of the tariff scores of business
men have been wrecked, with assets
running up into the millions. For every
millionaire product OF the tariff troops
have been ordered out to shoot down
hungry men. Every millionaire pro-
duct of the tariff, and they are multiply
ing rapidly, wakes rich on the toll of
poor men. 4

That was a pertinent INJURY by Jerry
Simpson, who asked where manufacture
ers get the money to pay increased
wages under protection, if, as protec-
tionists claim, a high, tariff cheapens
their products. The answer is easy
enough. Protection does not cheaper
any manufactured product, nor does it
permanently increase wages in any pro-
footed industry. The beneficiary of the
system alone reaps the benefit and the
cousume foots the bill.
