Protect All or None.

It is proposed by the advocates Of free
trade to reduce the revenue of the gov
eminent by SO, OOO,OO by lowering the
barriers between the cheap labor of Eu-
rope and the well paid labor Of the United
States. Labor has made America and
owns it. Any changes in our fiscal pol
icy should be made with view to pro-
tecting and stimulating the labor &C this
country.
The removal Of $50, 900, 900 of customs
duties would have an opposite effect. 1t
cannot be done without reducing the
wages Of labor to the low level OF foreign
wages, and without the destruction Of
dourishing industries, which now give
plenty and comfort to millions Of house
holds. It would make the millions of
men now employed in the manufactures
competing producers instead of buyers
of food and thus bring ruin upon our
farmers.
The American policy of protection
must either be sustained or abolished.
There can be no compromise. A part Of
the protective labor of the country can
not be selected for destruction and a part
left. The policy which has protected our
metal industries and given US cheap iron
and steel and thus established textile
mills and given us cheap clothing has
likewise developed our mines and in
creased our focks. It has also, in the
words Of Jefferson, "placed manufac-
ture by the side Of our farmers and given
them the incalculable benefits of home
markets."
Transfer the mining Of coal to Nova
Scotia and of iron away to Spain and
Cuba, and hundreds of thousands Of
American miners would be compelled to
crowd into other occupations or starve.
Under protection the output of all our
products has largely increased, and the
price Of our product has been greatly
cheapened.--Springfeld (Mass) Union.

LABOR AND CAPITAL.
The Duty of the Hour Is to Strengthen the
Bond Between Them.

The Duty of the Hour Is to Strengthen the
Bond Between Them.
Every effort is now being made, as it
has always been made in the past, to Gre
ate a conflict between labor and capital.
This is as foolish as it is unjust. Those
who agitate such ideas can generally be
found among men who do not care them
selves to work, but who prefer to go
around and create dissensions and trou-
BILE where none had previously existed.
Such men are mischief makers and male
factors.
Labor and capital are and must be
one. They are necessary to each other.
Without the use of labor capital would
be idle. Labor cannot find work unless
there are factories, mines or farms where
its work is needed. Capital would be
uselessly employed in building factories,
opening up mines or laying out farms
unless it could secure the labor with
which to do the needed work.
Any antagonism of labor toward cap
ital that is employed i'll honest enter
prise which affords an opportuni " for
" wrong. Any antagonism of capital
toward the labor it employs, and which
it needs, is also absolutely wrong. These
two units, labor and capita are so
wrapped together and so involved with
one another that they must work to-
gether and in harmony in order to &C
quire mutual success.
1t is well to consider for moment
who are the men that employ the capital
and own the mills, the mines or the
farms. They are men who have come
here and worked hard at their callings,
and who have by their energy and perse-
verance pushed ahead of others. They
have acquired position that thousands
of other hard workers are today hoping
10 secure for themselves in the future.
IF it be wrong that these men have sue
ceeded, then it will be equally wrong for
others to follow in their footsteps of sue
cess.
We believe that the employers of labor
in this country are not hard taskmas-
tiers. 4 good employer does much for
thewelfare and comfort Of his employee.
There are thousands of men who can
gear W1GuOSS " dCUS VI hlI1Ou6SS U16y
have received from 1.-THE boss''-acts that
have helped them to secure their own
homes perhaps or to improve their con-
dition with some extra comfort. In help
ing the men they know they are acquir-
ing their friendship, and good employer
Is always aware that he will secure a
greater interest in his work if he extends
the hand of kindness to men working to-
day where he worked a few years ago.
It is not the employers of capital who
desire to injure labor. It is these men
from village hamlets who have been in
trusted with the work Of tearing down
the protection that the Mckinley act
gave to labor-it is their leaders in con-
gress and at the head of the admins
tration. These are the men who are
enemies to both labor and capital, and
with a crafty cunning they attempt TO
make trouble between labor and capital
They are working for foreign interests,
but in order to succeed they must first
sever the bond that exists here between
labor and capital. The duty of the hour
is to strengthen that bond.-American
Economist.

"iaELPING THE FARMER.n


In fixing the date for the Republican
state convention there was the same old
twaddle about making date when the
farmers were not busy so that they could
attend. How these fellows do love the
farmer! They are continually Oh the
strain to do something for him. They
sit up nights to devise something for his
good. They put tariffs on eggs for his
benefit, and send Kiefers to congress to
protect his potatoes. They give him
state elevator with side wink to
each other and the tip that the courts
will knock it out. They CONSIDERABLY
kill bill to tax the farmers adjoining
lands which railways own and hold to
reap the value the settlement of farm
ers gives them, while avoiding the bur-
dens of schools and roads and local gov.
ernment. In a thousand ways they give
the farmer practical evidence of their
fondneSs for him. and now again they
fix the date of their convention about
the time that the end of having runs
into the early harvest, so that he can
leave his work and come down and
ratify the slate that the boys have fixed
up. And there are farmers left yet
missed by the fool killer in his last
round-up-who are simple enough to
take stock IN the sincerity of this old.

EARLY SESSIONS
Wanted by Senator Harris to Rus
the Tariff BILL

Wanted by Senator Harris to Rush
the Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, May 10. = Senator
Harris made an effort today to obtain
consideration for his resolution provid-
ing for 10 o'clock sessions. but was re-
pulsed by Senator Aoar with an OBJ
lection to its presentation while the
tariff bill was before the senate. 1t is
now the purpose OF Senator Harris 10
introduce the motion tomorrow.
Under the rules a resolution can
not be considered the same day
that 1t is Introduced, so the discussion
which the resolution is sure to provoke
will not take place until Saturday. Sem
ator Harris said i'll an interview after
the failure of his effort to Introduce the
resolution that the resolution was de-
batable, but he had some doubts
about the Republicans resisting
it in that way. ''lf they do
he said, ''they will simply convict
themselves before the country of an in
tentiDn to delav the consideration OF
the bill. He said further that the
meaning of the resolution was that the
tariff bill should be pressed forward
with all possible dispatch. but. wnen
asked tonight whether the present res
Olutl0n would De followed by another
for night sessions, he declined tc COM
init himself further than 10 say that his
course in that event would depend OH
the progress OF the bill.
1t is understood to be the purpose of
the Democrats to ask for night sessions
later if they are not satisfied that the
Republicans are using proper expedition
in their discussion of the bill. Senator
Jones said, in referring to the resoiu-
ton, that he thought it better to begin
at 10 than to have any specific provision
for sitting at night. The Republican
side of the chamber will certainly resist
the Harris resolution. SenaforAIdrich,i in
speaking of it, said that the present
hours were long enough, and that he
for one should decline to yield to the
request 10 lengtben them. He also said
that the resolution would itself afford
material for debate, and intimated that
the resolution might not go through
upon the instant. 1t appears probable,
therefore. that unless MIR. Harris should
reconsider the determination to press
the resolution the proceedings Saturday
will be enlivened by spirited debate
over the question OF time.

Roger @. Mills is a man whom all
earnest men admire, whether they are

of moral courage which commands re.
gard wherever shown. 1t takes courage
to stand up in The senate. surrounded by
the influences that pervade that body,
and denounce the men of his party
with whom he is brought in daily con.

to put himself in opposition to a meas

can get measure OF the quantity and
quality of this pluck by recalling how
Republicans swallowed McKinleyism
because it was the measure which the
majority of the party had agreed on in
caucus.
Senator Mills was right in his excoria-

fenced 10 five years imprisonment in

have expired until July of next year,
but in view Of the petitions for his re-
lease which were signed by thousands
all over the state, not single protest
having been made, the governor con-

broken in health and very much aged
by his confinement. He was at once
taken to the city hospital, where he is
now being treated. When he RECEIVERS
sufficiently he will be taken to his home
in Bel Air. He is now sixty-seven
years of age. Mr.. Archer stood but
little below Senator German in Mary
land politics. He four times repre-.
sented the state in congress, was chair
man of the Democratic state central
committee of Maryland, judge OF several
courts, and was serving his third term
as state treasurer when arrested.
