ILL TIMED.

An Eastern free-trsde gold-standard
paper admits that competition in the great
mining fields may have brought wages
below what is termed the living-wage
point, but contends that such cutting
down was necessary to show any profits
in the business. The strike it is admitted
may be justifsble. but it is argued that it
is i'll timed. 1t should be borne in mind
that wage-earners are not responsible for
prices. They are not consulted In making
them. They have no voice in the manage
ment Of business. They are offered a
scale of wages and may accept the offer or
not. Their necessities compel them to
accept, but it is no part Of their agreement
that there shall be profit TO their employ
ers. Their sole lookout is that they get
living wages. They do not know whether
business is conducted ON basis that does
not afford living wages to the wage
earners and profits to the mine-owners. 1t
is quite natural therefore that when they
find wages cut down below the living
point they strike, whether the strike is
Ill timed or not. There is no need in this
country that wages fall below the living
point. We can protect ourselves from
foreign competition and home industries
may be conducted on basis that will
afford worklngmen a living. The trusts
which seek to force labor below the living
point will in time learn that the starved
workman is an expensive one.

to the protective principle which has done
so much for the State they represent ano
advocacy of free coinage. The World
perceives in the speeches of Quay and
Cameron. and to less extent in that of
S senator Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts.
willingness 10 adopt the free-colnage cry
IL thereby they may serve protection.
There is no Inconsistency, it says, in this
combination. 1t is quite possible that the
combination of free trade and
the gold standard may suggest to Repu0-
lcans that bimetallsm may be useful
plank In their next PARTY platform. There
are six Eastern Senators now counted as
friends Of silver in States that did not FUR
nish one three years ago. Quay. Cameron,
Lodge and Chandler are Republicans, and
Hill and Murphy of New York are Demo-
Gratis. AT present the division is not on
party lines, but It may become so. The
alliance between free trade and the gold
standard is natural. Both are based on
the gospel Of cheapness. Free trade Will
bring goods from the nations that can pro-
duce them at the least cost, and the more
scarce the money in which payment is
made the lower the price. An admiDistra-
ton that goes 10 the country on the plat
form of free trade and the single gold
standard will be familiarity known as the
Sweatshop administration.

A SAMPLE CASE.

The Massachusetts Legislature Is con-
sidering bills to prevent stock aud debt
watering. and to provide for the super
vision of the Issue Of securities by rail-
roads, gas companies and other quasi
public corporations. Ex-Attorney-Ge General
Plllsbury has submitted to the boards Of
trade for State aud cities an argument in
support of the bills. which the boards have
printed for general circulation. Mr.. Pills
bury prefaces his argument with the
assurance that the petitions upon which
the proposed action is based are signed by
solid citizens. They are not, he says,
socialists or radicals; they are not opposed
to capital or CAPITALISTS; they are not
hostile 10 corporations. on the contrary
they are largely stockholders in corpora
tions. Having thus given responsibility
to the demand, the argument proceeds to
show that the demands are reasonable. He
then instances the case created by the lease
of the Worcester. Nashua and Rochester
Railroad by the Boston and Maine Rail-
argument as follows:
Here was a case In which the stock of the
leased road was bought up beforehand BY some
of the railroad managers concerned in making
he lease at prices ranging from 40 to go per
cent of its par value. This obtained. lease
was made by which the leased road was guar
anteed dividend OF per cent upon the par
value OF its stock for ninety. nine years. On the
faith Of this guaranteed dividend the stock is
selling at S12O share, or more than double
the price il commanded before the arrange
mont for the lease was entered into, and the
public Is made TO pay dividends on the stock
TO the men who engineered the transaction, of
whom one or two are said to have made sums
by it approaching millions OF dollars.
Mr.. Pillsbury points out other cases in
which the management had effected deals
which netted them millions of dollars.
The Herald admits that proceedings of
this kind call for regulation. and that
journal proceeds to say that If regula-
tion of the conservative character pro-
posed is defeated by the railroad corpora
lions, the said corporations will invite that
form Of restricted control included under
the term granger legislation" 1t seems,
therefore, that even in sober. conservative
Massachusetts the specter of an Industrial
army may be invoked to impress upon
corporations the policy of placing some
restraint upon their rapacity. The people
will stand much, but not everything. The
next granger movement so much dreaded
will most likely go at the root of the rail-
road iniquity and find remedy in some
form of Government control or ownership.

SOCIALISM IN ENGLAND.

There is now under consideration in
England proposition to pay pension of
81 70 week to every man or woman who
has reached the age of e. who deserves the
money. Three conditions are attached /:
one that the applicant shall not have been
convicted of crime; one that he or she
shall not have accepted poor relief. and
one that he or she shall have subscribed to
friendly society some part Of his or her
life. The last condition seems frivolous.
as no period Of time Is mentioned during
which such subscription shall have been
kept up. The estimated expenditure on
account of the pension is about 100000.
600. 1t is calculated that perhaps one
third of this sum would be saved from the
poor rates, the rest to come out Of the
treasury. Pensions OF all kinds. except
to persons disabled in public service. are a
device for che reduction of wages. 1t is
urged that If person is certain of support
after working days are passed he need not
be paid more wages than will keep him In
good working condition. The wage
Garner is invited to literally take no thought
Of the morrow. The sum the Government
promises to pay is not large. but in that
country it sufiices for actual wants. Such
a proposition is not based remotely upon
the principle that disabled soldiers and
sailors should be given an assurance of
pensions in the event of being disabled, as
a pension is no com pensation for the dis
ability incurred. 1t is at best but par
tial recognition by Government of the ex-
ceptionally hazardous character of the
service rendered. There is an old age
pension law in Germany which requires
the workiDgman to contribute during bis
prime to fund to be drawn upon for sup.
port in old age. The employer is also a
contributor. but it is reasonable to suppose
that the amount of his contribution il
taken from what would be current wages
Perhaps it is in this way that actual wage:
in Germany are maintained at lower rates
than in England.

DOING A FOOLISH THING.

A free-trader writes to the New York
World that that journal is doing foolish
thing by favoring the reduction of tariff
duties and the placing of an income tax on
superfuous wealth for the reason that the
farmer who sold his products under free
trade conditions and bought goods under
protective conditions was the principal up
holder of the tariff that was robbing him.
Then the fres-trader said to himself: LET
him be robbed; man of that kind has no
rights which any one is bound to respect"
But the farmer took longer look into the
future than the free-trader. The farmer
saw that the diversion Of labor into tac-
tories would change competitors into con-
sumers. If from enc hundred farmers fifty
should 20 to work in factories there would
be fewer to produce and more to purchase
