The Inran. Inaa..ry and .he worklngman


The benefits of protection are some
thing like the sea serpent-they are al
ways somewhere else. The average pro-
tectionist believes that the tariff raises
wages. If you ask him how it raises his
wages he will reply that it does SO in an
indirect way by improving the condition
of some other person. Now there is a
widely accepted principle to the effect
that the tail cannot wag the dog. If
the persons whose wages are directly
affected by the tariff very greatly out
number those who have nothing to do
with tariff taxes, except to pay them,
they may set the standard for the whole
community; but if the direct protected
classes form an insignificant minority of
the total population it is clearly impos-
sible for them to fix the rate of wages
for the majority. 1t is of the first inn
portance, therefore, to know how many
people are engaged in producing the
things that are supposed to be protected
by the tariff as compared to the number
of people whom the tariff does not and
cannot affect except to their injury

.Ana g. r. win continue. !,

In their efforts to return that distin-
guished corporation attorney and "polit-
ical" greaser, John g. Spooner, to the
United States senate, the Republicans of
Wisconsin are apparently determined to
Mexicanize that hitherto peaceful and
orderly commonwealth. Ever since
Spooner's involuntary retirement to pri-
yate life, little more than year ago,
the earth has been, in the opinion of the
average Wisconsin Republican. out of
its orbit. The wind has blown steadily
from the wrong direction and the sun

4 CONVINCING ARGUMENT.
The Tarifr Lesson At Homestead Must
Open the Eyes Of workingmen.

The Tarifr Lesson at Homestead Must
Open the Eyes of Workingmen.
The Homestead affair is the most pow
erful and convincing argument that can
be made to disprove the assertion that
there is no relation whatever between
tariffs and wages. The Homestead ar
gument is so plain that he who runs can
read and readily discover that the tariff
tax enables the manufacturer TO receive
a higher price for his product, ostensi-
bly, for the purpose of paying high
wages to employees. Having had the
price of his articles increased by legis-
lation, does the manufactures sit down
to figure out his excess Of profits by
reason Of this special legislation, and
then divide it with his workmen? No,
of course not. The manufacturer goes
into the market and employs his labor
at the lowest possible price. That price
is fixed by the law of supply and de-
mand and labor unions, without any re-
gard to the tariff, and every employer
of labor in this country does the same
thing because it is good business man.
agement. When men offer to work for
two dollars per day, what manufacturer
paws them three dollars because he Is
receiving special benefits? The spectacle
of a mass meeting of workingmen, such
as was held at the east front of the cap
itol, passing unanimously set of reso-
lutions calling attention to the fact that
in the face of an increasing tariff tax
the wages of employees have been re-
duced so per cent, shows plainly that
many workingmen are opening their
eyes and ready TO condemn what they
heretofore accepted as blessing. Co

As the mantling shades Of night fell softly
Ger the classic precincts of Bernal Fights
last Friday, the clash Of tongues aud arms
in deadly conflict awOke the startled echoes.
Ever and anon the defiant blaL Of a belligerant
Bill goat welled up and hoated out into the
cleaning, already freighted with the means,
shrieks and curses OF the cOmbatants, also
threats to do great bodily harm. For the
space Of five minutes the gathering twilight
was distorted BY a mass Of boy, horse,
woman and Poundkeeper rapidly revolving
around a SETTLING vortex OF goat
Clouds CT dust partly obscured the con-
1ict, the noise of which aroused the neigh

and his rider. broke away and went
gallopng down the rocky street with
the woman and her goat towing at the end
Of long lariat. Luckily. at this moment
the police arrived and rescued the eaptiyes

A WOMAN'S PLIGHT.

Eyicted From Her Home and Without
Means to Procure Shelter.
Edward Murphy, veteran Of the war Of
the rebellion, and his wife, Mary, who for
many years past had made their home in
the cellar Of 32S Jessie street. were eVicted
on Saturday last on account of the old SOL
dier's iniemperance, and since then the
poor, decrepit old woman has been guard
ing her few antiquated belongings which
are piled in a heap in the lot back Of the ST.
Iguaius building on Market street.
The husband some time ago made appli-
cation for a pension, and succeeded in gain
ing $500 back pay and an allowance Of S12 per
month. The possession OF SO much money
gave him full opportunity to develop his
taste for ardent spirits, and he Cul-
tivated it so assiduously that inside
OF few weeks he had been three
times locked up for drunkenness. He
was released on Saturday last in time to at
tend the eviction ceremonies, ana at once
proceeded TO spend the remnant Of his little
fortune in drink. Having done so he, in
some manner, became possessed OF pistol,
Which he proceeded 10 use upOu two lads
who bad been teasing him, and was again
arrested and this time booked for diseharg-
ing firearms IN the CITY limits That is how
Mrs. Murphy happens to be keeping her
dreary vigil alone

CRY, and last night they dubbed together
and hired Waterman to mind her few
things while she took a mucE-needed sleep
IN a room they provided for her. Previous
to that she slept for three nights as best she
could in the open air by fixing her few be-
lodgings in such a way as to afford some lit
tie protection. Now that her husband will
doubtless be given a more lengthy sentence
than heretofore, there seems no other re-
course for the woman but the Amsh0use.

Although our new steel cruisers are adj
