The phrase, a feather in his cap sig.
nifying honor and distinction, arose
from the custom prevalent among the
ancient Syrians and perpetuated to this
day among the various savage or semi
civilized tribes of Asia and America, of
adding new feather to their headgear
for every enemy slain.
In the days of chivalry the maiden
knight received his casque featherless
and won his plumes as he had won his
spurs. In manuscript written by
Richard Hansard in 1898, and pre-
served in the British museum it is said
of the Hungarians that it had been an
ancient custom among them that none
should wear a feather but he who had
killed a Turk, and to such only it
was lawful to show the number of
feathers in their caps In Scotland and
Wales it is still customary for the
sportsman who kills his first wood duck
TO pluck out a feather and stick it in
his cap.-Exchange.

THEY ARE SADLY IGNORANT.

1t is interesting at this time to know
how the workingmen affected by the
lockout at Homestead look upon such
difficulties politically. There is some
thing on record that gives thrir opinion
pretty clearly. When the Mills bill was
under consideration, the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers
sent a memorial to congress protesting
against tho passage of that measure.
In the memorial they used these words:
"Some will argue that our employers
will reduce our wages anyway, even
though the tariff remains as it is. We
ask you to leave that to us, and We will
endeavor TO take care of ourselves. As
is customary in all branches of business,
we have our little family quarrels, but
we dislike outsiders to interfere in the
settlement thereof. We ask respect
full hearing to the end that We may be
allowed, through the medium Of pro-
lection against foreign competition, to
maintain decent living wages"
Evidently the democratic view Of
such matters is not the one entertained
by the laborers, the men chiefly con
cerned. If there is any political signifi-
canoe attaching to these Homestead
troubles, it is i'll favor of, not against
protection, for the Mckinley law made
a general reduction in duties all along
the line of iron manufactures fact of
which democratic editors are probably
mostly ignorant.
The Globe-republican. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1889-1910, 1892-08-01
FACTS ARE UNANSWERABLE.

From the Detroit Tribune.
Among the many misstatements of
fact which abounded in Congressman
Bryan's Ann Arbor speech was one to
the effect that the administration has
been negotiating commercial treaties
only with the nations which furnish a
market for our manufactured products.
This is not true in any way, shape or
form. The administration has concluded
reciprocity treaties with Germany. Aus
tria, France, Denmark, and Spain, for
her West India colonies, in all of which
countries We market large quantities of
agricultural products. Returns of reci-
procity trade thus far made show that
there has been considerable increment
of our exports Of agricultural products
to reciprocity nations. Mr.. Bryan can
accomplish nothing by distorting facts
about reciprocity. That policy is too
thoroughly understood and too we'll re-
ceived by the people. Like every other
republican policy. reciprocity has pro-
duced results which everyone may see
for himself. The argument o; facts is
unanswerable. Reciprocity is before the
people on its merits as policy of prac-
tical value to the commerce and indus
try Of the country. The republican
party never asks the people to indorse
theories. 1t presents to them things &C
complished for their approval
The Globe-republican. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1889-1910, 1892-08-01
HOW 1T WORKS.

Our free trade friends are in the habit
of soothing at the notion that the duty
is paid by the foreigner, but here is a
bit of personal experience communicated
to the Pail Mall Gazette by an English
manufacturers agent who has found out
how it works:
'.You ask for an explanation OF how a
foreigner can be made to pay a portion
of the taxes levied on his goods. You
are unable to comprehend Mr.. McKin-
ley's remark, that the Americans intend
still to compel foreigners to pay por-
ton of their taxat.on.' We sell Grape
for the Norwich Grape Company. 20
maintain the returns of the business in
France, the directors of that company
instruct US to sell at, or nearly at, the
prices at which the goods were sold be-
fore the duty of about 6 per cent was
put on them. They wisely do this, as
they say if we once lose our position it
will cost us 10 per cent to displace our
opponent, as Lyons manufacturers of
Norwich grapes are within little of En-
glish makers. The Norwich makers
simply give 4 per cent or SO of their
profits to the French government, and
SO pay per cent on about 10000
pounds toward the taxes in France.
You may say, Why dol it? Try to keep
the machinery going without doing it!
English consumption is insufficient"

TITS NECESSARY TO PROSPERITY.

From the Emporia Republican.
The principles of protective tariff
are primitive and fundamental 1t is
necessary to the building up of Ameri-
can industries; it is necessary to enable
the workmen of those industries TO re-
ceive fair compensation: it is necessary
to the producer and farmer of this coun-
try that the workmen receive fair COM
pensation in order that they may be
able to purchase the products of the
farm and live in comfort; it is necessary
that the farmer may have a market at
hone for his produce, and it is necessa-
~ that it should be thriving one.
This could not be without the benefits
derived from a PROTECTING tariff. This
thought should be rooted and grounded
In the minds OF every American farmer
and every American citizen, and we be-
lieve it is, and no theory Of free trade
promulgated by importers and foreign
manufacturers can take root and -four
ish and succeed on American soil. Pro-
lection and reciprocity and continue
ton of the present honest. conservative
and successful administration is ne
ceesity to this country from business
standpoint, and We believe men who
have business interests at heart, even
though they may differ somewhat upon
the tariff schedule, will be in favor of
maintaining the present prosperous con-
ditions

THAT HELPED BRING IT ABOUT.

The Pittsburg World, sure-enough
democratic paper, which does not at
tempt to hide its democratic views under
the cloak OF "lndependent journalism"
ADM is the truth 1t says:
1.-THE Mckinley bill makes no advance
in the duties on anything the Homestead
works manufacture. and, in fact, in most
cases there is a reduction, as in beams,
girders. plates, billets, steel ingots, rails.
wire, etc. Now if the high protective
tariff is responsible for labor troubles,
the troubles ought to be less when the
tariff is reduced. But here We have the
greatest outbreak that has ever occurred
in the iron and steel industry, just at
time when the tariff on these products
is lower than for years before. Can it
be possible that this conflict has been
brought about by the reduction OF the
duty on steel products, as provided in
the Mckinley lawr'
The Globe-republican. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1889-1910, 1892-08-01

quired to wear white linen ard make a
p-esentable appearance on less wages
than the small minority OF laborers at
s1.40 day at Homestead receive.
One of the last great strikes in this
country was an unprotected industry at
Spring Valley, III. Seven hundred
miners employed there by William L..
Scott, democratic leader in congress,
struck against a reduction of their pay
from 80 to 10 cents ton.
Non-union miners were employed,
and the old men lost their work as well
as the homes which many OF them had
bought on installments from Mr.. SCOTS
land company. The legislative commits
sion of Illinois which Investigated this
wrong reported that the skilled miners,
when fully employed, had earned an Az
erage of $3.50 a month prior to the
strike, and would earn about s24 a
month under the new scale which Mr..
Scott had put in force. The unprotected
Spring Valley miners, skilled and un-
skilled, therefore earned $500 week.
The protected Homestead workers,
skilled and unskilled, averaged about
S21.55 week. Is it surprising that
-ffths of the iron workers of Pitts
burg are sturdy republicans, or that
Congressman Boatner exclaimed, at
Homestead during the congressional in
vestigation under democratic auspices,
''These are the highest wages 7 ever
heard Of"

ENORMOUS BUSINESS.
The Passengers Handled by the NV Yorh
Central on Decora iol Day.

The passenger business of the New York
Central's Western Division was enormous on
Decoration Day, and possibly was the larg-
est IN history.
During the entire month o. May one year
ago the number of passengers carried was
10000. Last Monday at Rochester alone
n, 134 passengers were handled, besides
1000 or 5000 on the West Shore. Between
Buffalo and Niagara Falls over 500 were
transported, exclusive of the business of the
main line trains, making total of 1900,
and counting the people on the main line
trains would probably bring it up to $4,000.
When it is noted that only one man was
hurt, and he had his foot only tightly
squeezed between the bumpers as the re sui.
of his drunken condition, the record be-
comes one of which the officials have every
reason to feel proud.-ButdLo Courier.

THE TARIFF AND WAGES.

From the New York Press.
During the congressional investiga-

workers was submitted, showing that

the month of June. prior to the strike.
from S1.40 to $16.75 a day each, and
that nearly 1000 of the employees re

The cheapest unskilled day laborer at
Homestead received S1.40 a day, or
more than the guards On the New York

1T Is SILLY.

From the Cleye'and Leader.
In 1870. when congress put duty of
SIS ton on steel rails We manufactured
but 10000 tons in this country. The
price was then S106.75 a, toI. Now it
is $50 ton. In 1888 we made 1885,
OF tons of steel rails. and during the
twelve years from 1877 to 1890 We man
ufactured 16,763,116 tons OF rails and
about 100000 tons of steel ingots
used for other purposes. The average
cost of that steel was $50 ton. or ST.

steel-making industry would not have
grown in this country. and the bulk Of
the 81, $40. O0O, 900 would have gone in
to the pockets of British manufacturers
and English workingmeu. Bet the re-
publican policy Of protection gave more
than half of that sum to American work
ingmen engaged in a single industry.
Now that the steel workers in one of the
mills built up under that protection pol
icy happen to have disagreed with their
employers. the democratic press puts all
the blame upon protection. Doesn't
that look silly?
