DORA Ms SOCKS

Mr.. Michael Doran's socks are destined
10 become quite as famous before the
campaign closes as are those which
Jerry Simpson now wears. The follow
ing from Mr.. Doran explains:
Hon. William Neutrality-suspicious. Sir: |
read your speeches in the house of repre-
sentatives during the iifty-tirst congress
when the tariff bill was under discussion,
in which you asserted and made me be-
lieve that the foreigners paid our taxes.
| also read your speeches as presiding
officers of the republican national
convention at Minneapolis. in which
you asserted again that the foreigner
paid our taxes. My mother sent me
I dozen pairs of socks from Ireland afew
DAYS ago each pair being worth about
- cents. My cousin, who brought them
10 ne, had to pay - cents a pair tariff
duties on the socks at the New York
customs house. Will you please be kind
enough to tell me to what foreign gov
crnment | shall apply to have that 50 re-
funded to me: If the foreigner pays the
tax, as you say he does, | am satisfied to
get my money back, but | do not know
Just exactly to what foreign government
20 apply. and | hope you will be kind
enough to inform me by return mail.
Yours truly. MICHAEL DORIAN.
AS Mr.. Mckinley is doubtless engaged
in solving the problem of protection as
presented by the Homestead tragedy,
will some republican journal in Montana
please come to his aid and give Mr.
Doran the sought, for information? Do
not all sneak at once.

WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
JULY 23. 1892.
THE TRUTH HURTS.

Nothing hurts so badly as the truth
Ever since the Homestead slaughter
republican journals have been kept busy
in an attempt to explain how the princi
pie of protection is not involved in the
differences existing between the employ.
er and the employees at that place. One
declares that riots and strikes have oc-
cured in, what they are pleased to call,
'free trade England" But admitting
they have, that fact doesn't seem to help
their case. This is seen by another that
in turn loudly proclaims that Carnegie
is an "old hog" who is full y able to pay
his workmen their usual wages but that
he is too greedy to do it. And still an
other asserts that the low price of steel
billets and manufactured iron n%ecessi-
tated the cut in wages, while a fourth
points to the apparent difference between
the pay in this country and England in
similar works to prove that American
workmen have no cause to grumble at
reductions of wages.
But twist and s1uirm as they may and
villity Mr.. Carnegie as they choose, the
clear-cut, cold facts remain that the
republican party has, in its platforms,
declared that protection gives high
wages to laboring men; that a high
tariff protects them from the pauper
labor of England; that protection peoples
our manufacturing centers with happy
homes; that without protection they
would be compelled to accept starvation
wages and that the Mckinley law is
little short of a Divine inspiration drawn
in the interest of American sons of toll.
The party's speakers and the party's
organs have iterated and reiterated these
gilded lies until large masses of the
people have been led to believe
them.
The Homestead tragedy has opened
their eyes, the scales are dropping from
them. They see their brother workmen
shot down by hired assassins like dogs.
They see the tariff of this year is the
tariff of last year. They see no reason
Why the wages of last year should not be
the wages of this year. They voted for
a high protective tariff and they cannot
understand why the promises made to
them at the time should now be met
with bullets and death. They are ask
ing what it all means.
It is amusing to watch the antics Of
protection journals under the yolley of
questions fired at them by the people.
They cant give a satisfactory answer
and hence after wriggling under the
lashings of truth they give expression to
their highly wrought feelings by cursing
Did Carnegie. In the meantime the OBJ
lect of their simulated wrath is enjoying
himself upon his baronial estate in Scot
land, purchased by old wrung from
American laborers and making merry
over the "uneXampled Ools' of this
who have adopted 4 tariff policy
which creates ~millionaires to order. 1t

lection has worn and the people can now

The blessings Of protection is shown
in the testimony of n of Carnegie's EN-.
ployes who swore that under the new
scale Of wages which the company pro.
posed to enforce cut his wages down
from $40 per month to SOL per month
or IS per cent. That is protection and
high wages with a vengeance.

Trees as IrrigatOrs.

Foster, the meteorologist, makes
the following remarks about the
utility of trees. 1t has been demon
strated in this State that cultivation
of the soil has brought more moisture
Possibly the planting of trees has
had its effect although no vast forests
have been attempted. A good for
estry law In this State might be of
great benefit, but it takes our Solons
q long time to think before they act.
The only law which ever really en-
couraged the planting of forest trees
was repealed seven years ago. 1t
had not threatened to bankrupt the
Treasury out some wiseacre probably
thought it might. The moral of Mr..
Fosters remarks is plain to every
citizen of Nevada who desires her
prosperity:
Give hundred years ag,, Spa in
was . desert. Streams, springs and
wells were dried up, and the crops
generally failed. The mstsorogists
of that day Investigated the matter.
and declared that the obstruction of
the forests was the cause. Forestry
laws were enacted, millions of trees
planted, and it was made a crime to
cut or destroy trees, although they
were private property, without a
Government permit. Thus the for
ests were largely increased, and the
fertility of SPANS farming lands re-
stored
when Moses made war against
the inhabints of Asia Minor, the
forests were dense, the rainfall great,
aad the land flowed with milk and
honey. The Israelites destroyed the
timber, the country became desert,
and the Jewish nation was broken up
and driven out. In modern times,
the growth of trees had been e.lcour-
aged, the forests protected, the fer
tility of the soil is returning, and the
population increasing"
