A KANSAS SOLON.

Secretary Of State Osborn of Kansas
has come to the rescue of suffering
country al d submits panacea that will
instantly remove its financial ills and
peace aud prosperity will hover over the
land, especially the great state of Kan
sas. The astute secretary has noted
the intense suffering of the poor who are
unable to obtain employment and has
been doing little quiet figuring. He
Is convinced that the nation is suffering
from production, and, disregard
ing the palpable fact that
men who have employment are
never hungry, he proposes to
restrict the amount of labor that each
man shall perform to two hours per day.
Men who (under Republican rule) have
been able to live comfortably off the pro-
ceeds of eight or ten hours labor
per day are presumed by Sec
rotary Osborn to be able TO revel
in luxury if their working hours and
correspondingly their pay, are reduced
400 or 800 per cent. The secretary is
not, however, so radical rs his chief,
Lleweling, who believes in the tramp
system Of total inertia with salvation at
the public crib.
So far as Secretary Osborn is person
ally concerned it would be judicious
and commendable act on the part of the
natives of Kansas TO allow the two hour
law TO operate in his case Immediately
with the added stipulation that he shall
have competent guardian to lead his
footsteps during the two hours he is ON
duty and prevent him from couiuring
up any more rash and maniacal schemes
OF supposed statecraft.

WALKERS PREDICTION.

Congressman Walker Of Massachusetts,
gets at the meat in the cocoanut when
in speaking of the action of the proposed
Wilson tariff and the reductions in
wages that have already been made in
anticipation of it and of others
sure to follow he outlines the
Democratic policy. He says that
the Democratic leaders say amongst
themselves, "All that we have got to
do is to say on the stump that manu-
facturers have cut down wages from
one third to one-half to increase their
profits and to spite Democratic laborers
that business has begun to improve
under the Democratic revenue tariff
that we have passed. Don't you see
thisT they will say. And if you keep
on voting the Democratic ticket and
fight these manufacturers and strike
you can get your wages back to the old
protective wages They will also claim
1t is all in your own hands. These
manufacturers are abusing you and
lying 10 you and expressing YOU"
The Congressman says: "There is
no pretence upon the part of anybody
that we need protective tariff here
whatever, for any other reason than
that the economic conditions in this
country and in England being the same,
wages would be precisely the same, ex-
cept for the protective tariff. Every
declaration made by Congress

this country on American wages TO the

THREAD INDUSTRY AFFECTED.

In spite Of the duty imposed by the
Mckinley tariff upon spools of cotton,
the English manufacturers were able
during the year ending June 80,
last, to send to this country over 1000
dozen spools more than during the year
preceding. Their trade increased IA
per cent. during that year although they
paid duty Of 2 cents per dozen
spools.
The Wilson bill proposes reduction
in this duty from seven cents per dozen
spools to four and one-half cents per
dozen or more than 35 per cent.-a re-
duction so serious as to wonder why any
duty was left on at all. Notwithstand-
ing the Mckinley duty of seven cents
per dozen spools the English manufac-
turers were last year enabled to increase
their trade here over IA per cent.
Now what will the outcome be il the
Wilson bill rate of duty succeeds the
Mckinley duty If with the heavier
duty the foreign manufacturer could so
increase their sales in this country,
when that rate is reduced over 35 per
cent. they can virtually control the
market, and this explains the recent
meeting of the employees of
the Coates Thread company
of Pawtucket.- to protest against
the proposed reduction. The employees
met as employees whose occupa-
tion was threatened and not as parti-
sans. Here lifelong Democrats
and life long Republicans stood
shoulder to shoulder protesting against
a tariff change which meant reduction
of wages TO them and change from
comfort and even luxury to deprivation
and probably to want for their families.
Their wages must come down, and they
realize it If the reduction is made.
The duty today is not a protective
duty in the prohibitive sense. 1t does
not check importation for under
it that importation increased
last year IA per cent. but it
was sufficient to give the Ameri-
can workman higher wages and better
homes than his English rival. The
other costs of production are not
altered by the tariff ..change and to
meet the reduction the wages must be
cut, and 35 per cent. cut in wages
means poverty and distress.
And so it goes. Every Rhode Island
industry is threatened by this iniquitous
bill. It Affects all classes and all con-
ditions, but, of course, the burden will
fall upon the workingman.
The Democrats are finding out that
protection protects the workingman
fully as much, if not more than it pro-
tects the "robber" barons that they have
prated so much about. The American
working man today is speaking, and
his protests will be followed by his
votes next fall.

General Manager.
The above "wire' from the news col
umns of THE News of yesterday an
nounced briefly the successful culmina-
ton OF an important deal which has been
in hand since the new management
{. took hold of this property.
The valuable news service thus ac-
quired needs no introduction to new
spaper readers. 1.-The Associated Press"
is as familiar as it is an inspiring title.
Even by the layman it is justly regarded
as indispensable to the making of
complete newspaper. since to the news
paper possessing its franchise-and to
il alone--is afforded all the news of all
the world, fresh, bright, accurate and
absolutely reliable. The management
Of The News, from the day they took
possession of the paper, recognized the
acquisition of this worldwide news
service to be of the highest import ance
IL they were to make substantial sue
cess of their venture, and they have left
mo stone unturned to get it as quickly
.ss possible.
6everal weeks ago The News was
enabled to place at the head of its tele-
graphic news columns the name of
The Associated Press and acquired
limited service, for which 1t paid ac-
corling to amount. Yesterday morn
ing this paper became member of The
Associated Press with the magnificent
news service of this splendid organiza-
tion wholly at its command in common
with its fellow members = four-ffths
Of the leading newspapers of the
country.
THE News is now the only newspaper
In Providence in possession of The Asso-
ciated Press franchise-the only news
paper in the city belonging to that great
organization. In view of the every day
Testimony of onr telegraphic news col
umns nothing that can be written here
will be necessary to demonstrate that
with the magnificent resources thus
opened up to it THE News will be able
TO furnish this city and state with
better home and foreign news service
than is possible to any of its competitors.
In the light of popular knowledge moth
ing that can be said here can add to
general understanding of the important
fact that THE News, and The News
alone, will furnish the people with the
news OF the world "by The Associated
Press"
THE News has loop from The
Associated Press wire in its Office wit h
its own operator in charge, and thus
has sole and exclusive control of the
news matter garnered from the four
corners of the world. For Providence,
also, THE News is the correspondent
and representative of The Associated
Press.
THE News need hardly add that
nothing will be permitted TO impair its
local news work, now ranking in
quality with that furnished by any
paper TO any city.
THE News will be bigger ard bigger
newspaper every day. The price will
remain OSE CENT.
