its flowery wreaths In tones of creams

PROTECTION IN PENNSYLVANIA.

If protection has been established
for the benefit of the laborer. for the
purpose of keeping UP wages, how is
it that Pennsylvania. the most pro
tected" state in the Union, is the very
hot bed of labor troubles, strikes. riots,
tumult and bloodshed, and all over the
wages question?
The disturbances occurring there now
may be classed with other labor troub-
les as the consequence of the fear of
free trade" but that will not meet
the difficulty nor answer the purpose
of the protectionists. Similar and even
worse riots occurred while the Repub-
lican party were in full power, and
when there was no prospect of a
change in the tariff policy of the gov
eminent, unless it might be little
more of the protection which it was
claimed was the cause of high wages
in the United States.
OF course it is fact that Republi-
can protection is still in full force and
that there has been as yet no change
in the tariff laws. But the cry of the
fear of free trade has been kept up so
long and so loud that it has had its
effect on the minds of the people who
do not think very deeply and has
caused some confusion of understand
ing. But no such excuse can be made
for the labor troubles of the past in
Pittsburg and other parts of the
highly protected state of Pennsylvania.
One of the horrors held up by pro
tectionists to brighten American work.
men is the spectre of competition with
the "pauper labor" of Europe. as it is
called. But the same advocates of the
high tariff who use that bugaboo, have
brought pauper labor into Pennsylva-
MIA for the very purpose of reducing
wages, and that element is the chief
source of the labor troubles in that
state.
Protection in Pennsylvania has
gorged the pockets of the capitalists
but not made them divide their profits
with the workmen. 1t has been a one
sided and partial thing there as else
where. The Molly Maguires spread
terror and destruction because of that
fraud, and the same causes operate
now and bring about similar discon-
tent, and repetition of the outbreaks
that have been common in that re-
gion. Protectionists must not hold up
Pennsylvania as an object lesson when
they want to show how the high tariff
has kept up wages and protected the
workingman.

POLITICAL IMPORTATION.

a country exchange has this para
graph in a well considered article on
politics:
The campaign which resulted in the
election of Grover Cleveland was the
first stand-up fight in this country on
the tariff issue to the exclusion of
everything else. 1t was called a cam
paign of education" but it was con-
Quoted on a plan which put the Utah
scholars through fractions before thew
had mastered the multiplication table.
The foundation was not dug deem
enough. The law of supply and de-
mand was not clearly explained. The
principle that it is wrong to tax one in
dustry at the expense of another was
ignored in debate. Men were started
out on campaigning tours whose only
qualification as stump speakers rested
on their ability to keep on their feet
before an audience; whose only stock in
trade were newspaper clippings and
tracts which they rehearsed and com
mitted to memory on the way after the
style of the wire-nail example.
Our contemporary may speak from
the card ds TO the debates and stump
speeches in his part of the territory
though we are inclined to the belief
that he did not hear all the Democratic
orators who spoke in his county during
that campaign-but the two principles
which he says were ignored formed
very prominent features in many
speeches which were delivered and
articles that were written at that time.
1t was shown that the law of supply
and demand much more than the tariff
regulated the prices of commodities
And McKinleyism was denounced for
the very reason that it fostered one
industry at the expense of another
while the evil Of the bounty Rystem
was exposed on the same ground
It may be true that some of tbs
stump speakers during that campaign
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-04-09

in this territory were amateurs, and il
is certain that many of the so-called
Republican arguments" were nothing
but bold assertions, distorted statistics
and illogical differences. But at the
same time it was a campaign of educa-
ton and accomplished much good, be-
cause it set people to thinking, and
reading, and investigating for them
selves as to matters which previously
had been almost entirely ignored.
There was much bitterness of feeling
among people who ought to be the best
of friends, but even that had its COM
pensation. in the endeavors made by
the intense partisans to post them
selves on the issues of the times and
the differences between the two great
political parties of this country
1t will be good thing if the hasty
scholars who have rambled through
very vulgar fractions would not only
come back to the multiplication table
but get down to the first principles of
political economy, and become ground
ed in these simple truths: That class
legislation is wrong; that what is in
correct in theory cannot be right in
practice; that public money must not
be expended for private interests; that
one industry must not be taxed to sup
port another; that equal rights to all
and special privileges to none is a
principle essential TO our system of
government; that supply and demand
regulate markets and are interdepen-
dent; and that governments are in
stituted for the protection of the peo-
pie, not to provide for any class, not
TO engage in private business, not to
provide employment for the masses
nor market for any particular pro-
duct
If our country contemporaries will
| impart lessons on these and other sim
pie principles of political economy, it
will do more good than finding fault
with the uniformed, and will help to
spread sufficient intelligence to make
it impossible for a mouthy man who
says nothing to gain an audience even
in the remotest village of Utah.
