WAGES a.asu AND WEST.

The Chicago Tribune is getting daft
on the question of wages and their rela-
ton to the tariff. In spite Of logic and
of common sense and facts. it wildly
clamorS for a restoration of the tariff III
order that wages may be made higher. III
order to support its claim that it is the
protective tariff alone thai makes the
general rate OF wages higher in this
country than it is in foreign countries,
it is obliged to assert that under the
absolute free trade that exists between
the fOrty.four states of this nation, dur
ing all the time ''Since the constitution
Obiiterated the Interstate lines. and
prevented them from being a bar to the
free movement of persons or property
or trade. the states nave had bat one
system of prices and one Wage scale"
That it means by this that the same
rate of wages is paid all over the coun-
try. is evideRt from its subsequent state
ment that iii the wage scale of the
West were double what it is in the East,
there would be great deal of agitation
and discussion in the West Oh the sub
ject of local protection" The Tribune
is not to be excused for not knowing
that there is marked difference in the
wage scale in this country, and that it
is higher in the West than it is in the
Eastern states.
One instance will illustrate this fully
The Massachusetts bureau of labor sta
tisticS gave in 1889 classified summary
OF the average weekly wages paid in the
cotton mills of the state, since which
time wages have been reduced Oh an
average of 10 per cent. Secretary Hart,
OF the New Bedford labor union, says
| that 1--WE have seen our weekly wages
dwindle from S12 to $40. then from $40
! to 80. and finally to $3.50. The report of
the bureau shows that over g, 900 out of
$4,000 males employed in that industry
receive less than Sc week, and that
| $4,000 out of $4,000 females employed
| receive less than that sum week. On
the other hand, there was in the Trib-
une of Aug. 20 an interview with the
manager of a cotton factory in Aurora.
ILL.,. in which he stated that the wages
paid in his factory were from Sc 25 to
$3.50 per week, no less" From these
two statementS-what every one knows
without tlIem-it is apparent that there
is not similar wage scale prevailing in
the cotton mills in Illinois and those of
| Massachusetts.

ONE TRAITOR BRANDED,

We are told that Democratic senti-
ment in the East is not as radical as it is
in the West, and that, while we here are
disposed to free trade, they In the East
are inclined toward supporting some
measure of protection. 1t was this, they
tell us, that compelled the too liberal
concessions to protection in the Wilson
bill.
We have not believed that representa-
tives and senators from Eastern states
in congress fairly represented the DEM
ocratic sentiment of their constituencies.
They were influenced, not by the opin-
ions Of the rank and file of the Demo-
Gratis, but by the imperious demands of
the manufacturers. insistent upon main
tanning their rights to extort unearned
profit from the consumers.
Among the eighteen representatives
from the Eastern states who voted
against the bill Oh its final passage was
Representative Cadmus, from New Jer-
sey, a state whose senators were ex-
tremely active in injecting into the bill
as much Of protection as was possible.

Means Nothing.
Ada Herald.


The Republicans put plank in their
state platform favoring taxation of rail-
road lands, and we notice that the party
press, including our own ilimitable
Index, is making capital out of this
clause in the platform in favor of the
party. This is simply aEother attempt
to fool the people. Ii The railroad
lands can be legally assessed, why did
not the Republican party see To it that
it was done twenty or thirty years ago?
The party has been in power and have
had unlimited control ever since. Why
wait with this important reform until
the struggling pioneers have covered
the country with sehoolhcuses,
intersected the wilderness with
passable roads and borne the
many burdens Incidental TO organ
lied government? On the other hand
if the lands are exempt by law
from taxation what good can come from
declaration of this kind? 1t is either
a confession that the party has favored
railroad corporations by allowing their
lands TO remain untaXed in the past or
it is cheap claptrap 10 catch the innu-
cent voters. Will the Index say which
horn OF the dilemma it chaSes 10 take?
We may then Investigate what position
the different parties took on the propos
sition to tax railroad lands in the last
legislature.

Senator Eaton Suggests.

The present convention system of NOM
mating candidates is becoming more and
more unsatisfactory. In some states it has
been discarded for many years and the
primary election" plan has been
adopted. Wherever this SYSTEM OF
making nominations has once been
adopted it has never been relinquiShed.
Under this system every Individual
voter has an opportunity to express his
preference as to who shall be the nomi-
nees of his party, and there is 10 oppor-
tunity for politicians to get together
and trade aud traffic the whole bust
ness in their own Individual interests.
AS nominations are now made. the peo-
ule have precious little voice or choice
IN the matter. Under the primary
elec; io,p' system candidates would be
known and discussed before nomina-
tious were made. They would be
forced To announce themselves before

out the numerous fake stories from that
town which have given it an unenvable
name. sent a special 10 the Chicago
Times charging MIR. Heatwole with nav
ing misappr0priated campaign funds
and with other financial delinquencies
The Times printed it in its issue of
Sept. 90, and Mr.. Heatwoie, very natur.
ally indignant, forthwith begins libel
suit. The fake was treated by the
Democratic papers OF the state and OF
the district in which Mr.. Heatwole is
candidate, without notice. Its author
was too we'll known to have any ere
dence attached to anything he might say.
The story fell fiat and had no effect ON
the campaign whatever.
But Mr. Heatwole and his organ, the
Pioneer Press, think that some political
capital may be made out of it for him if
he will follow the example of another
somewhat more famous gentleman and
insinuate that the canard was put out
by his opponent Or with his connivance
to injure the former, and ask the public
to stand by him while he vindicates his
good name through the medium OF the
| courts. This is Stiffness that borders
! on asininity. Had it been designed as
| political move does Mr.. Heatwole sup

| have treated IL in silence? Would it
nave been sent to Chicago for publica-
ton? Does he suppose that MIR. Hall is
man who would descend to the use of
any such methods, even if there were
! any foundation for the charge? Does
he think he can convince any voter in
his district thai Mr.. Hall is capable OF
using such methods?
We think that Mr.. Heatwoie's libel
suit is very ill-advised. If it is fol-
vindication OF his integrity lie needs
none, Tor the libel was too gross to bt
believed by any one. If he expects Il

constitutional as an infringement OF the
power of congress TO regulate the COM

passed in 1887, ana provided that the

other states, before making any sales in
this state, should enter into bond of
$4,000, conditioned to indemnify an v
person against loss resulting from their
Misrepresentation, and apply 10 and

inspection law was intended to fos-
ter and build up the industry of
packing meat in this state, so the
purpose of this act was TO aid in the de-
velopmeht of some OF the infant nur-
series Of the state. The law never
amounted to anything, except as it was
used by the agents of the home nurseries
to occasionally frighten off some timid
vender Of foreign nursery stock, and
of late years it has become completely a
dead Letter. 1t Was revived recently In
Freeborn county by some representative
of a local nursery whose territory was
being invaded by peddler of Illinois
nursery stock, and a complaint was
made against liim for violation Of the
act of 1887. He was arrested. convicted,
fined and imprisoned. He did not pro-
pose to submit to this interference in
his rights and brought habeas corpus
proceedings before Judge Sanborn, with
the result that the law is set aside as
unconStltututiOnal.
