Mercennrles for Defense.

Every man is entitled to the peaceful
possession OF hisproperty. He has the
rightto demand protection for it against
lawlessness in whatever form. It is
the business of the state to afford this
protection, first through the civil, then
through the military power The civil
power is exerted through the sheriff
and his posse, the military by all the
armed force the state can command.
In these later days has arisen a force
of hireling troops called Pinkerton de-;
tectiyes. Detectives they are not in any
sense Of the word 1t is not their BUSH
ness to detect men about 70 commit, or
who have committed, ottenses against
the law. They act as the garrison Of
beleagured industrial establishments or
as an assaulting column to be thrown
against wage.earners out Of work and
out of temper by reason OF disagreement
with their former employers.
In the Homestead case they appeared
before the sheriff Of Allegheny county
had made any serious effort to preserve
the peace, before the sheriff had noti-
fed the governor of Pennsylvania that
his authority was deied and his power
exhausted. This being the situation,
the Pinkerton forces we're on the ground
for duty before the military power Of
United States could have. been there
lawfully and before any President would
have ordered troops there.
The Pinkerton mefcenaries we're
picked up, so their leader says, in New
York and Chicago. They had no inter-
est in preserving the peace in Pennsyi-
yania They enlisted for their per
diem. Is the great state Of PenusYl-
yania so weak that it must let torco Of
non.residents come in to usurp its
authority No state is SO small or so
weak that 1t can afford to present this
spectacle to the world.
To admit that it is necessary to drag
the slums-for that matter to 40 into
the parlors-oi the great cities Of the
country to get together a force to pre-
serve the peace in any state, is to admit
condition OF hopeless imbocility that
should bring the blush Of shame to
every American face.
1t may be said that the men at Home
stead drove away tho little posse sent up
from Pittsburgh by the sheriff, and that
any other body OF men, though repro.
senting the state, would have met with
the same reception is that accorded to
the PinkertOn thugs. This may or may

The Homestead Lesson,

There is lesson in the Homestead
affair. The free traders who are en-
deavoring to make capital out Of the
trouble will not call attention to this
phase of it Steel plate is about
the only product of the Homestead
works on which there was any increase
OF duty under the Mckinley act.
The duty on the other products, as
the INrE1IraEScER thinks without ex-
caption, was reduced. This ia notably
true in the case of billets. 1t has been
charged by the workmen that this re-
ductlon was worked through by the
manufacturers because in 1889 steel
billets were made the basis OF the wage
scale.
Billets were then quoted at about $50
and $25 was taken as a minimum below
which the price was not likely to go.
Since the passage Of the Mckinley act
steel billets have been as low as $50 80.
This, the workmcn say, is what the
manufacturers wanted, for they wished
to move the basis of wages down several
pegs lower.
1.-THE protective duties on tho whole
round of products were entirely remov-
ed the employers would have still better
ground for reducing wages, and the en-
ployes would have the labor and the
capital of Europe to fight instead OF the
capital Of their own country. Instead
of being two parties to the contest there
would be four. American wages would
have to come down to the foreign level.
There could be no escape from it.
Then some manufacturers would have
the very condition of things they want;
for some have been frank enough to say
shat it is the protective tariff that
makes organized American labor pos
sible. Without the protective tariff
foreign labor, manifesting its power in
imported manufactures, would hold
American labor down to the foreign
level.
Unorganized, American labor would
be powerless to maintain any wage scale.
This would be regarded by some manu-
facturers as decidedly in their interests /;
and the wage-earners might make the
best. oft.

If the wage question between the Car

there would have been none OF the

1t is the absolute right Of each side to
stand of from the other and support its
position by all peaceful and lawful
means and by none other. Better than
to insist on this right is to submit diff
ferences to the impartial judgment OF

there could DO no such thing as the

Governor Pattison and the Home
stead Horror.
The governor OF Pennsylvania sent
word, in response to the sheriff's call
for aid, that he would not take hand
until the sheriff had exhausted his
power. This was after the sherif's
proclamation had been torn down and
the sherifTs deputies escorted out Of
Homestead and sent on their way back
to Pittsburgh.
Governor Pathson must be hard
man to convince. How much more
slaughter would have been required tn
impress on him that the sheriff of AL
legheny county was unable to deal with
the situation2 In such case the
humane thing is for the ttate to show
itself at once with sufficient power to
preserve the peace and prevent the
shedding of blood.
Perhaps Governor Pattison was en-
barrassed by the intention Of his party,
we'll known to him because it is mat
ter of common notoriety. to tryto work
the Homestead calamity for all there is
in it and great deal that is not in it.
