AN IMPORTANT ORDER

The Injunction order which the United
States judge in Milwaukee has just made
restraining the employees of the Northern
Pacific railroad from combining and con-
spring TO quit the service of the road
with or without notice served on the
road with the object of Gripping or en-
barrassing its operation, and generally
from interfering with the officers or the
agents OF the receivers, or their en-
ployes in any manner by actual violence.
very similar TO the order made by the
United States judge in ohio, last summer.
which kicked up such a rumpus in the
country. 1t approaches perilously near
20 the line which divides the national
liberty Of the citizen from invasion by
despotic power and it deserves the most
careful consideration before it can be
accepted as embodying any sound princl-
pies tolerated by our institutions.
1t is essentially the province Of a court
OF equity TO prevent, by the aid Of in
junction, injuries to property which can
not be adequately compensate ted in dam
ages awarded by the verdicts Of juries.
But our institutions radically demand that
all controversies between citizens or be
tween the government and citizens, shall
be adjusted by the verdict Of juries, IL
that be possible. That is deemed TO be
the very essence OF our rights and our
liberties. The eorollary Of this is that
under our theory of government the citi-
Zen may refuse to perform any service
whether he has contracted TO perform it
or whether he has not, laying himself
liable If he breaks his contract 10 pay
the other party whatever damages he
has caused to that other party by his
wrongful act. as those damages may be
ascertained by the verdict of jury Of
twelve men.
The order that the United States judge
has just made in Milwaukee, while en-
tirely justified, so far as it undertakes
TO protect the railroads property from
violence, is in direct contravention Of
the most cherished principles OF our
laws, so far as il seeks TO restrain the
men from quitting work at their pleasure.
The principle in our laws which secures
to every man the right TO break his con-
tract when he will, taking the conse-
quences of paying for it in damages, is
the principle which has distinguished the
Anglo-Saxon i'm all ages, and has made
those parts Of the world that he inhabits
the home of freedom and the nursery Of
the arts and sciences. We will part
with every other principle in our insti-
tutions before we will give up that.
1T is a principle which corporated cap
itai and monopoly look on as their worst
foe and they justly so regard 1t. But it
is the principle which will preserve our
race. as long as we cherish it, as a man
ful head-erect, one that can look men
In the face.
When we consent TO part with it We
shall be ready for that industrial slavery
which incorporated capital would willing
| ly fix upon u.s.

THAT STRANGE WILSON BILL.

The Wilson bill is one Of those strange
miscarriages which the world is con-
stantly meeting with. It is brought for
ward I'm a Congress overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic, by men who have been long
known as eminent Democrats, and 1T is
earnestly approved of and forwarded by
the President, who is himself the most
eminent Democrat in the country Yet the
measure is not a Democratic measure,
whether tested by the true and fundamen-
tai principles of Democracy or by refer
ence to the history of measures that the
Democratic party has heretofore iden-
titled itself with. The fundamental idea of
Democracy is that one citizen is In all
respects the equal before the law of all
other citizens This is no more than
another form OF words for expressing the
idea that the law of the land shall con-
fer no special privileges upon any per-
sons. Democracys idea is that the laws
shall bear with absolute uniformity and
equality upon all, with determinations Tor
or against more. And whilst this is Demo
cracy II is also justice, and to secure alb
solute justice TO all men is the true aim
and function of government.
But how could men who profess TO be
Democrats. and who are therefore ready
at all times to declare their assent TO the
elementary principles just laid down.
have framed the Wilson bill? 1t flagrantly
denes every principle stated. 1t imposes
taxes upon several Of the imports TO this
country with the avowed purpose OF max
ing Americans pay more for those articles
than they would be required TO pay under
n schedule OF equal and uniform taxation,
and for the further avowed purpose OF
thereby enabling certain citizens OF
the United States TO manufacture those
articles here when they would be unable
TO manufacture them II they were COM
PEELED by tho competition of foreign
goods TO sell them as low as tho foreigners
would sell them.
Here Is a real purpose TO make some
Americans pay more for certain things
they use than they ought. under nor
NAL condition of things. TO pay, with the
further purpose 10 benefit some Americans
at the expense OF other Americans. Nor
Is this intention left TO be gathered from
the effects necessarily produced by this
measure. II is openly declared by the sup
porters OF this bill. They make no bones
OF procaIraing that they intend 10 secure
10 New England manufacturers an oppor-
tunity to charge other Americans more
for many OF the staples OF life than
those others would have to pay II import
taxes were imposed ratably ana uni
