The position Of Memphis, Tenn.

The position Of Memphis, Tenn, IS
peculiar. The treacheroas Mississippi
has cut new channel four miles from
the town, and the San Francisco Chroni-
ole declares that unless prompt measures
be taken to force the stream into its old
bed the city will be left high and dry.
OF course, as the river is the life of the
city no expense will be spared to bring
Its waters back. Those who only know
slvers that preserve the same bed will be
apt to regard this story as a Western
exaggeration. but the people are in dead
earnest. To them it is matter of life
or death.

men in this instance. When Carr egie
Phipps Il Co accept the patent system of
this country and its protective tariff for
the goods the firm makes; when it come
in under these patents and these protec-
tive tariffs, and gets the benefits of them,
1T becomes to that extent ward of the
government. 1t no longer depends upon
It's own, unaided cXer.ions in field Of
free competition, but becomes, instead,
a ward or client of the government to
the full extent that it accepts the pr.
lection and the benefits OF the govern.
ment's patent and tariff laws. For that
reason the government has a right to in
terpose in the conduct and management
Of the business of this firm, and to pre-.
scribe in its relations to its workmen.
This is seen very clearly in the matter Of
the tariff. This firm came TO the United
States and asked as favor, that the peo
pie of the United States should give it a
bounty upon all the gools that it makes.
Il want this bounty, said the firm, 'to
enable ussto pay higher wages to the men

people of the United States, If that is
what you want it for, we will agree to
give you the bounty and the people of
the United States accordingly did burden
themselves with the payment of the
bounty asked for. They did it in the
shape of a protective tariff on the pro
