While some of the conservatives in

The Iron 4ge and other trade journals
are discussing the capacity Of our iron
manufacturers to invade the markets of

journal said on March %:
''We are sure that few Americans fa-
milia. with oar resources and our meth
ods are not convinced that the manifest
destiny of the United States is to become
the greatest manufacturing country in
tn e world. What We have accomplished
in some branches of agriculture and Of
industry is merely forerunner of the
great achievements which the next gem
Grafton will bring"
The editor thinks our prices will, after
one more turn, be ION parity with the
industrial market" and then, with bet
ter consular service and more attention
to foreign trade, we may expect to hold
our own in the markets of the world.
We are now, in fact, exporting mill
ions of dollars worth of iron and steel
products, agricultural implements, stoves,
sewing machines, saws, axes and near
ly all kinds of tools, locomotives and,
within a few weeks, pig iron from Ala
bama to England. 1t is, then no won
der that even DrOtectjOniSt journals are
waking up to the fact that with free raw
materials and our protection bands re-
moved we can challenge competition
from all quarters of the earth.

GOVERNOR PATTIsoN has been charged
In some quarters with lukewarmness in
the military movement to suppress the
outbreak at Chicago and other points.
The criticism has resulted from the re-
fusal of the governor to be interviewed
on the subject. 1t is stated on good au-
thority that the governor sent Adj. Genl
Greenland to Washington to promise the
President II, 900 armed men from Penn
sylvania in II hours, and $4,000 addi-
tional in 10 days if they were needed to
restore order. The adiutant general
called on the President and made
this offer, and Mr.. Cleveland thanked
him for it.

REPUBLICAN journals are fond of
pointing to the prosperous condition OF
this country in the last thirty years nm
der high protective tariffs. In response
we cite single indisputable fact, which
they can hardly explain and at the same
time maintain that protection protects
the masses. Here is the fact. lately
mentioned in the New York World:
"When 4, ,O47 men can absorb under
twenty years of protection over one-fifth
the total wealth of the United States.
protection must be beneficial thing
for them. But when there has been no
increase in the per capita wealth, and all
they have acquired must have been
mere transference from other pockets to
their own, obtained by milking the peo-
pie, it is time the latter kicked over the
pail, the milking stool, and the milker. 3"
Let every Democrat spread this fact
broadcast, for its meaning is unques>
tionable, and as an argument it is un-
answerable.

IT is unusual for forest fires to rage
violently when the trees are in full leaf
and the ground covered with thrifty
vegetation. This has been an unusual
year in this respect, and forest fires have
ragged in various sections from the Jer-
sey pine regions to far off Washington
during the month of July. The most
destructive of these conhagTatiOns have
been in the pineries of Minnesota, Wis
cODsin and Michigan. In Wisconsin
especially the damage has been unpre-
cedented, several important towns hav-
ing been wiped out of existence. OF
course this means destitution and suf-
fering to hundreds of human beings,
who have been left homeless and almost
naked without moments warn
ing. Prompt measures should be taken
for the relief of the victims of the for
est fires, and those who still have homes
and a mean of livelihood should be
ready to share with the victims of the
flames.

If the demagogues were capable of
speaking honestly, says the New York
Sun, they would confess that, until thev
undertake to win by violence or intimi-
dation, by the destruction of other men :
property or by the oppression of other
mems rights, no troops are ever seen.
Troops never go to oppose a strike or to
help corporation; they go to uphold
the law and keep the peace and for
nothing else. Owing to such infiam-
matory falsehoods in strike resolutions
prepared by professional agitators this
seems to be hard lesson for some men
to learn. But all must learn it, even if
every individual member of a trade nm
ION has to reyolve it in his own mind
apart from the malign influence of men
dacious leaders
