THE ENEMIES OFLABOR.

There was big mass meeting of the
unemployed in Faneuil Hall last night,
and it looked at times as though a riot
would be precipitated at any moment.
Morrison /. Swift, the man who
threatened TO clean out the State House
on the day of the riotous disturbance
there last month, was present, and
as Governor Greenhalge was
not within hearing distance he
howled to his hearts content.
Swifrs harangue was to the liking of
the mob, for he urged combination and
clearing out the State House from
top to bottom There can be
no question that the gathering
was of the unemployed, but
THE News does not believe that
honest workingmen made up the audi
erce, for the words and the acs that
were applaude d were the rawlings of
Socialistic advocates and not such
as would commend themselves to
honest toilers. Prominent labor
leaders were Kissed off the
platform and no one could command
attention who had not some lawless adj
vice TO give. Frank X. Foster, we'll
known labor advocate, sized the audi
ence up about right when it interrupted
him with the cry, "We want a leader.
that's all we want" by retorting, "a
leader, there is no leader in these days
of the Australian ballot system. You
are the men who, when honest men
strike to obtain their rights, go to them
while they are on strike and say BE
our leader and give us chance to work
for % cents day"
he was right. Men who can applaud
the sentiments of a man like Swift are
the enemies and not the friends Of the
honest laboring classes.

TARIFF BILL CHANGES.

And now the tariff bill will be pulled
to pieces once more in the Senate. The
attempts of the committee to placate
Senator'S opposed to the provisions OF
the bill is plainly shown in
the added concession made TO Senator
Murphy in regard to the duty on collars
and cuffs which are given 55 per cent.
ad vslorem protection. The sugar trust
comes out several laps ahead OF the
whiskey trust in the race. for it gets
additional protection while whiskey,
iron. coal and lead ore remain as they
were reported to the full committee.
The reciprocity treaties are repealed
and abandoned and the bill would not
have been considered perfect
from Democratic point of view
if the tin plate industry had
not been given another kick.
The most important change in the ad-
ministrative features of the bill is the
replacing of the words, ''lowest duty"
by the words, highest duty" on all
goods unenumerated or coming in under
the similitude clause.
Now the Senate will try its hand at
patching this already well darned crazy
quilt.

THE JOURNALS MISTAKE.

The Providence Journal yesterday re-
marked editorially that " two hundred
tons of pig iron have just been shipped
from Birmingham, Ala, to England.
IL the assertions of our protected iron
producers are true" sapiently remarks
The Journal, "this shipment was, of
course, at heavy loss and for purely
philanthropic purposes" The above is
quoted as one of the many illustra-
tions the editorial columns of our neigh
Dor furnishes from day TO day of its
intense hostility to everything American
and its constant attempts to discredit
the American system of protection IN
der which the manufacturing industries
of Rhode Island in common with those
other states have thrived and grown to
their present immense proportions.
Located in the heart of manufacture
ing district, with its supporters and
patrons dependent upon the industries
which surround it, The Journal loses no
opportunity TO assail and sneer
at the system which has done
so much for the State and it's people.
II was, however, unfortunate in its Sc
lection of a subject in the present in
stance, and THE News, as the exponent
of the protective system, is glad to avail
itself of the opportunity afforded to
accept the same illustration and show
the falsity of The Journals deduction
and the superfcialty of its sneerins
comment. 1t is true, and THE News
has repeatedly made the claim that The
Journal now admits--that the United
States, under the workings OF the much
abused Mckinley bill, with iron and coal
both taxed" is able to ship pig iron, and
about every grade of manufactured iron,
TO the English markets where free coal
and iron reign supreme. For a number
of years American iron has been under
selling English iron in the home markets
Of Great Britain.
This is the logical and natural result
Of the protective system. 1t the claim
of every protectionist that protection
reduces the price of an article while
maintaining the wage rate at high
standard. No industry shows this more
conclusively than the industry which
The Journal picked out for its morning
tariff sneer. Under protection the cost
of iron has steadily decreased while
wages have been kept at a high level.
England with free raw materials and
cheaper labor can not compete with the
American made article. The reason is
very obvious. With our magnificent
home markets as an incentive, protected
in favor Of our American manufacturers
against the cheaper labor of Europe,
the business became profitable and iron
furnaces aud fouudriss sprang up ON all
sides.
The result was that competition stim-
ulatcd by the prosperity which attended
the conduct Of the business soon reduced

The News congratulates the Citizens
Employment Committee on the excel
lent relief work they have done and is
glad that they are enabled to carry that
work to a successful completion. While
The News would also like to say "a
pleasant word for its esteemed contem-
porary, The Journal, for the assistance
that newspaper has given the committee
it cannot be forgotten that the condi-
tions which made their work necessary
are chiefly due to The Journal brand OF
political policy.

II the reports published in the news
papers are correct, Hon. Augustus s.
Miller, in a few briof moments yester.

First. That the KcKinley bill has
closed the workshops.
Second. That the Democrats repealed
the Sherman bill.
Third. That the Democratic State
ticket was elected at the last spring
election.
Fourth. That the Republican party

prices TO the lowest level compatible
with high wages and prosperity. There
was every incentive in the world TO Sc
cure the best plants, the most economi-
cal way of smelling and the most mod
ern appliances in manufacturing. The
business was reduced to a system, which
is probably as close an approach to per
fection as Is likely TO be attained in the
business world. The gigantic scale on
which operations have been conducted
made it possible to reduce the cost to the
lowest possible figure and the result is
that from being the tenth iron producing
nation in the world, we have, under
protection, marched forward until we
are the first in the amount OF iron pro-
duced aud consumed. while our prices
have fallen TO such an extent that we
can compete against the world. With
our ability to undersell England even
in her own market, why should we de-
sire TO give her free admittance into
the markets that have enabled
us TO bring the industry to such
a high state Of perfection? Is it not the
act of fool to thus afford a rival nation
an opportunity to come in and strengthen
itself at our expense? What would we
gain by such a performance, when
already our prices are less than those of
our English competitors?
The Journal made a mistake when it
chose the iron industry to point moral
70 a free trade tale.

JThe issues, therefore, are largely Ma

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING.


NY. Press.
Senator Kyle Of North Dakota will have
the nation with him in his determination TO
oppose the abrogation Of the reciprocity
treaty with Hawaii. There can be no doubt
that, as Mr.. Kyle suggests. the abrogation
cIaGse of the Wilson bill is thrust at the
Hawaiian provisional government on the
part of the Cleveland Administration. The
cuckoo artifcers OF the Wilson bill probably
assume that by inserting q clause that will
strike a disastrous blow at Hawaii they
will crafty the, conspirators whose Infamous
scheme to destroy the Provisional Government t
was ANONYMOUSLY bafied.
The scheme, however, will not succeed.
Patriotic Populists and Democrats. as well as
Republicans, are opposed to It, and will not
permit our American kindred in Hawaii. who
have SO nooly vindicated their right to
liberty and proven their hatred Of despotism,
to be punished because of their devotion to
American principles. But why should
not Mr.. Kyle aud other patriotic
Senators of the same political standing vote
against the whole Wilson bill as we'll as the
Hawaiian clause of il !? The measure is in
famous throughout. IL tits the duty of Senator
Kyle to protect our Hawaiian kindred from
disaster IL is also surely his duty to protect
the American people from the immeasurablc
calamities that the Wilson bill would entail.

This sort Of poppycock is exceedingly
popular among Mr.. Miller's associates
just now, but in a rational mental con-
dition Mr.. Miller himself will probably
recognize the fact that he talked rot on
the platform yesterday. THE NEWS
charitably supposes that the bewildering
spectacle of ex-Mayor Carroll and an
harmonious convention is responsible
for Mr.. Miller's otherwise unaccountable
drooling.

The Coming Election.
Westerly Sun


The importance Of the election to be held
in this State two weeks hence can hardly be
overstated. A State Government is to
be chosen, from Governor to General
Assembly; and upon the General Assembly
will fall the responsibility of elect
ing a United States Senator. This contest
will be the beginning of the great battle which
is to be fought from Maine to California for
the control in national affairs. and not
withstanding the interests attached
10 local matters national issues will
necessarily be before the people. Congress
has made two things plain-frst, that the
Democracy as a party has no fixed policy
upon the vital question Of the tariff; and Sec
ond that the leaders and directors of tnat party
have no sympathy with. and little knowledge
of, the portion of the country whose life de-
pends upon diversified industries. The re-
suit of the Rhode Island election. whatever
il may be. will be regarded as the decision
of this commonwealth upon the action
of the National Democracy. Democratic
victory will be interpreted as approval Of the
Wilson tariff bill; Republican victory will
mean Hands off,"
When such Is the case voters should exer-
else greater care than usual in determining
which party 10 support. The contest is be-
tween protection and free trade. as
advocated by the Republican and
the Democratic parties respectively.
All attempts TO belittle this issue or TO substi-
tute others will prove failures. The people
realize why they have experienced months of
idleness, and they have had vacations suf-
ficient Two weeks from tomorrow their
voice, officially expressed, will be heard. and
IL will declare in unquestionable tones for the
Republican party, the party which believes
in America and in Americans moro than IL
believes in any other nation or people.
