Tariff Reform.

Prior to the usurpatiOn of power by
the democratic party, it is noteworthy
fact that all the mills and manufac-
tories Of the east We're running full
blast. The railroads from the Atlantic
to the Pacific were running to their
full capacity: wages were good and
work plenty: few men who desired
work were idle What is the situation
of the present? AS soon as the present
administration assumed power and be-
gan to tinker with the tariff, the sole
protection of American industriesl
everything has come to a standstill.
The prospect of reduction or removal
of the tariff on iron alone has already
thrown twenty thousand miners in the
two states of Michigan and Wisconsin
out of work and placed them on the
verge of starvation. to say nothing of
other states.
When iron was first discovered GA
the range. left the lakes and took the
trail from Ashland to Hurley At Hur-
ley and IronwOod everything was
booming: times lively and money plenty.
Contract workers were getting from
fifteen to twenty dollars per foot. with
eight hour shifts. and company account
men got from five to ten dollars per
foot. To-day there are not fifteen
shafts working on the whole range.
Many of the mines have such poor
grade of ore. that there is not much
sale for it, except when there is large
demand for ore; and under the present
prospective changes in the tariff. thou
sands Of these miners will be compelled
to leave their homes and families and
seek living elsewhere. Such is the eff
feet of free trade tariff reform.

NOTICE TO PUBLISHERS.

The exchanges which come to THE
Prison MIRROR. are distributed among
the inmates of this institution There
are many among our number who have
no means by which to purchase reading
matter, to whom this feature of THE

present week we mail THE MIRROR to
many papers and periodicals not here
tofOre upon our exchange list, hoping
and trusting to receive from them a
liberal response.

augurated, it was intended to give q
convict chance to redeem himself, and
it he was worthy, to grant him freedom
with only such restriction as should be
for his own protection. For example.
to be eligible for parole, it is necessary
for him to have served half the term for
which he was sentenced and to be in
the first grade, lie, an exemplary con-
Wet, for certain length of time. Then
on his release, after the parole has been
granted by the governor and the board
of prison managers, employment is
found for him by the state agent. and
he is required to report to the warden
at stated intervals. These few little
fences" are not intended so much for
a string Oh him, as to guide him in the
paths that will result in making
him an honOred and respectable citizen.
At the end of the time for which he
was sentenced he receives full freedom
papers.
Out of the large number of convicts
who have been thus conditionally par
dOned, there have been but two or three
infringements of these restrictions and
these few have occurred within the past
couple of weeks. In every case the un-
fortunate, or rather. misguided fellow
has been re- arrested and returned to the
prison to serve the balance of his term.

THE PRISON MIRROR is weekly pa

per published in the Minnesota State Prison. It
was founded in 1887 by the convictS and is edited
and managed by them. It's objects are: to be a
home newspaper; to encourage moral and intel
lectual improvement among the prisoners; to
acquaint the public with the true status of the
prisoner: to disseminate pathological informa-
ton. and to aid in dispeng that prejudice
which has ever been the bar sinister to a fallen
mans selfredemption. The paper is entirely
dependent on the public for its financial sup
port If at any time there should accrue a sur
plus of funds the money would be expended in
the interests of the prison library.
