Paving Lower Wages.

Lower wages are being forced upon
the wage-earners of Great Britain, and
we instance case of between two ana
three thousand employees in an iron and
coal company whose earnings have
been cut down 10 per cent. The reduc-
tons made in our tariff not being so
large as the British manufacturers had
expected. they evidently intend to take
the difference out of the pay Of their
workers, for we find that the Welsh tin
plate manufacturers "foresee proba-
BILE necessity for cutting wages, In or
der to meet the competition OF the
American works, and in this case If
there is, the tin plate workers ought to
be reasonable and consent to bear their
share of the burden"
Under the Mckinley tariff many of
the Welsh tin plate factories were COM
PEELED to close entirely, but the German
bill has enabled them to start up, and
"the Welsh workers are having little
boom after their long spell Of inaction."
They fear, however, that their little
boom" may not last, so they are prepar-
ing their poorly paid workers ito bear
their share of the burden" by accepting
still lower wages, which, If accepted,
must, Of course, mean lower wages for
the workers in our tin plate factories,
if we are to continue to supply our
home market with American tin plate.

Ask Cash for Farmers, Institutes.

The farmers of Michigan are going to
make n united effort to induce the Leg
islature To provide for the holding Of
farmers Institutes on more extensive
scale than has heretofore been the Gus
tom. They claim in this regard Michigan
is far behind other States of far less i'm
portance from an agricultural stand
point. and that the time has arrived for
taking an advance step in this direction.
The movement already has been inaugu-
rated. and Gov. Rich is receiving petit
tions from farmers asking him to in
corporate in his message a recommends
ton that an appropriation of $4,000 per
annum he made for the purpose of car
ryng on these Institutes.

The SMEAR Trust,s Control.

The Sugar Trust does not seem to
have had such n pull in the State of
Washington as i'm the city of Washing
ton. An act has been passed and ap-
proved In the State of Washington pro-
viding for bounty of one-half cent per
pound on all sugar containing at least
90 per cent. of crystalized sugar This
bounty will begin in 1896 and continue
for five years. The Louisiana Planter
says that beets raised there sample
from II to 90 per cent. of sugar, with
a purity OF from 75.4 to % per cent,
adding that these wonderful results
show what an enormous sugar. produc.

GIVE US BACK PROTECTION.

Come, all you young Americans,
And listen when / say,
Protection builds the poor mans home
And drives the wolf away.
The farmer on our mountains,
Raising our corn and wool,
If you'll give him protection,
He'll outstrip Johnny Bull.
Our axman in the forests,
That fells the giant oak,
If you'll give him protection,
He'll throw off Johnny's yoke.
Away down in our Southern land,
And in New England, too,
We only want protection
To show what we can do.
You see our factories idle
From florida to Maine.
Just give us back protection,
And Wen start them up again.
The miner of America
That's mining out our coal,
Give him but fair protection,
Well not want Johnny's gold.
You've seen through all this country
Armies of CoXey's men,
Just give us back protection,
They'll all find work again.
O, give us back protection,
AS in the days of old,
And well show to you quite plainly,
We don't need Johnny's gold.
Yes, give us back protection
All DER our broad domains,
And We'll throw away the soup-bones,
And live on pork and beans.

ing country the United States may be-
come If adequate encouragement be
given to the sugar industry.
Such encouragement, however, would
be very much against the interest of the
Trust If these local sugars were not
compelled to come to the Trusts re-
fineries and pay them tolls. And to save
profits to the Trust, free-traders, who
know, rs all do, that we cannot, In the
long run, consume more than we pro-
duce, will continue to refuse adequate
national encouragement to sugar grow
ing in the United States, although such
encouragement would by increasing
the supply decrease the cost of sugar to
all consumers.

Indian Defies the Inv.

Antonio Rivard, full-blooded Chip
pcwa Indian from Fort Wayne. has raised
an interesting legal point He was ar
rested for trying TO ship venison out of
the State. He claimed that the treaty
made by his tribe with the government
gives him the right to kill deer over the
entire northwest territory, and that under
the treaty he can ship the deer to his wig
wan despite any State or local laws to
the contrary. He will fight the case.
Rivard is sufficiently advanced in civiliza-
ton to own Il G00-acre farm.

An Industry Ruined.

With respect to the probable iron and
steel imports under the new tariff, the
amount OF cotton ties-or, In other
words, Of English hoop iron-for cotton
baling purposes will undoubtedly in
crease. Indeed. that industry is prac-
tically lost to America for time, and
unless that country can find means to
produce more cheaply than at present,
more British hoop iron and steel will
certainly enter America under the new
duties.-Colliery Guardian, London.

To Test the Convict Labor Law.

The Metal Polishers' Union of Detroit
is about to commence proceedings with
a view To ascertaining if the law relative
to the management of the prisons of Mich
igan permits contracts for the labor of
convicts to be made. 1t is claimed that
the present law. which was enacted two
years ago. repealed the contract feature
Of the old law. The State prison at
Jackson is about to make II contract with
the Derby Cycle Company of Chicago,
and the metal polshers will endeavor TO
prevent its contamination.

Democratic Wage Rates.

For years the high wages paid in this
country have increased the wages on
the other side. and reduction here is
quickly followed by reductions there.
Our farmers were urged to vote for n
wider market, and as they hope to have
it open to them it becomes SO poor that
if steamboats, were selling there at 3
cents apiece the workmen there could
not buy q gang plank.

That "HoprfuI View"

An Australian wool trade circular,
dated Sept. 1S, says that: "The final
settlement of the American tariff on
the basis Of free wool has impaired life
to the late moribund condition of the
trade. and hopeful view is being in
dulged In all round" Here we might
add, except in the United States.

Effect Of Free Trade Farming.


The great danger of Great Britain lies
in the fact that of every three loaves
eaten there, two at least are made from
foreign grown wheat. In case Of war
with any powers or power possessing
fast cruisers, the pinch of famine prices
would be Immediately felt, while star
walton for many of the poor would be
imminent before n year had passed.
This danger cannot be obviated. The
manufacturing interests, which were
strong enough in 1916 to raise so much
more than was necessary to pass their
anti-corn law bill that they had eighty
thousand pounds sterling to give to
Golden in one block, will never allow
the encouragement of agriculture in the
United Kingdom by duty on wheat.

In 1892 the Democratic press eXult-
ingly claimed, over and over again,
that McKinleyism was dead. Well, if
McKinleyism died in 1892 it is the live
Hest corpse that we have ever seen.
There ought to be n great boom for
spirtualism these days. The way that
corpse brought out the votes on cleo
ton day is a warning to the Sadducees
of the Democratic party.

Pingree's Potato scheme Success.


Pingree's Potato Scheme "a Success.
According TO the report of the commits
sion which had Mayor Pingree's potato
farm scheme in charge at Detroit il
was complete success. There were
5000 applications from the poor for land
to cultivate; 40 acres of land were cul-
tivated; and 90 families provided with
pieces of ground averaging from Il quar-
ter to half an acre each. The land was
planted two-thirds To potatoes and the
rest i'm garden truck. Nine-tenths Of the
land was we'll cultivated. The average
yield of potatoes was fifteen bushels to
the family. AT Il low estimate 14.17J
bushels Of potatoes were raised. valued at
from ST.. 900 To $1,000 net to the cult
vatOrS. Besides this Il large quantity of
white beans and other vegetables was
raised. The total cost of seed furnished
was $1,000. The committee has received
a large number of applications from the
poor for pieces of land for next year the
applicants asking only for the ground,
spadng and cultivating to be done by
themselves. The report says il is found
that about One-third of an acre of land
TO the family is enough 10 raise sufficient
potatoes To last an average sized family
through the winters and vegetables
enough To last il through the summer.
The report advocates the establishment
of a permanent city poor farm.
