DESPITE THE TARIFF.

Republican papers all over the coun-
try have been infaming the minds of
the masses against the Democratic
party by making it responsible for the
trade depressions and financial troubles
of last summer. The splendid speech
Of Chairman Wilson, of the Ways and
Means Committee. turned the tables
on them, and the proofs were made
clear that whatever of tariff causes
occasioned those disasters was the pro-
tective tariff, and especially the Nc
Kinley abomination.
This has stirred UP the high tariff
ties in lively style and already they
begin to hedge. AS a sample, here is
our morning contemporary saying;
1.-The hard times pictured by Mr.. Will
son did not come because of the tariff,
but despite the tariff Is not the
same argument good as to the non
sense talked about fear of free trader
The country by three several votes de-
|
drew near for action to be taken on
that question, the hard times that had
been increasing eliminated, as it had
been predicted they would. Did they
not come despite the relief promised
in tariff reform, rather than because
of it? It's poor rule that only works
one way.
The boast of President Harrison in
1892 that unparalleled prosperity was
prevailing under high tariff provisions,
in the face of the strikes, the failures,
the restitution, the low prices of farm
products, the drain of gold out of the
country and other signs of distress,
was copied by Republican papers as
pure gospel, and because it was in
the Presidents message was treated
as accepted authority.
But our morning contemporary,
which has frequently cited the Harri-
son statement as an undeniable truth,
to be contrasted with the condition
Iof affairs referred to in the message of
President Cleveland, now has to con-
fess that it was not true. Burrows,
of Michigan, quoted 1t in his TRADE
to overcome the force of the Wilson
expose, and the Trik Inc remarks: ''Mr.
Burrows says that the country was
universally prosperous a year ago.
which is nca true. The country was
doing an immense business, but it was
a case of swapping jackknives.'' That
is a frank admission and ought not to
be forgotten.
We have contended many times that

the tariff or fear OF changes IN the

APPREN rIcEs AND UNIONS.

The discontinuance of the apprentice
system to a great extent in England
is deplored by the London Builder
The absence of it to a large degree in
this country is equally to be regretted.
In the old world it was much abused
The apprentice too often was made
the slave of the master to whom he
was bound. The term of seven years
also was too much of a tie, and in
this country, where everything moves
with greater rapidity than in England
is altogether too long a time in which
to keep a young man in leading strings.
But where the terms of apprentice
ship were honestly adhered to, which
in past times was the rule it produced
excellent results. A youth had the
opportunity and encouragement to be-
come thoroughly conversant with the
practical details of his trade, and was
compelled to stick at it as learner
for an extent of time which gave him
full opportunity for learning Thus
the various trades were supplied with
skilled workmen, and thoroughness
was exhibited in all branches.
There is great complaint in these
latter times of the deterioration of
workmanship. 1t is accounted for
partly by the decline of the apprentice
system, and also by the fact that under
the influence of the new trade union
ism men are encouraged to regard it
as the main object not to do their
work as we'll as possible, but to get
paid as much as possible for it. 1t is
evident that the organization of the
unions is directed not to secure good
work but to secure good pay. This
latter is a perfectly justifiable end
itself, if there is an equal desire that
the work should be well done; but the
policy of combination to secure good
wages entirely irrespective of good
work, as the Builder remarks, is one
of the meanest and most contemplate
policies that any class of men could
espouse.
The highest duty of the workman is
to perform his labor in the best posi-
bic manner. It is true that there are
times when the most skilful ard ac-
complished mechanics may seek in
vain for employment. But they are
exceptional periods. There are SO
many unemployed workmen, usually,
because there is such host of ordinary
workmen who demand the highest
kind of pay.
We would be glad to see a judicious
system of apprenticeship established
in this country connected with all the
trades. And in the trade-unions there
should be a system of grading, so that
for the rates demanded in a given
branch of labor, the highest prices
should only be fixed upon first-class
ability, and lower rates for persons
of lesser skill and experience. The
labor organizations seem to be as
rule obstructive as to apprenticeship
and promotive of exorbitant demands
for wages. Reform is needed in both

'If it shall appear that "supposing

and intelligent. are they not? Why
not have little patience and wait for
facts? Is it for fear that much of the
Republican yelling, which is certainly
premature, will turn out to be nothing
on which to excuse further fury?

tariff, were due to other, sometimes a
variety, of causes. 1t is cheap po-
litical humbug which fastens them all
upon high duties or low duties on for
eign imports. And it is still lower
Idemagoguery which attributes the
troubles of 1893 to a change of adj
ministration. when they were clearly
the bursting of a carbuncle which had
been growing on the body polite for a
number of years under a Republican
regime.
Such prosperity as the country en-
joyed under protection in the Ian
guage of our neighbor. did not come
because of the tariff but in despite of
the tariff" The rule should work both
ways. 1t is true that the farming
classes were getting lower and lower
prices for their products, and under the
high tariff were compelled to pay high
prices for what they had to buy. Thus
double burden was placed upon
their backs, and they naturally re-
volted, and wanted a change.
The disturbances in trade and bust
ness of 1893 have been cunningly at
tributed to the change which was de-
sired and has been claimed to have
been effected. AS a matter of fact
that change has not yet come. The
Democratic party has been elected to
do the work, to bring about the change,
but right in the beginning they meet
with obstruction from the party de-
posed. Until legislation can be had,
and under it the old system can be
remodeled and the new agencies be
set in operation, it is only deception
and political fraud which charges the
distresses occurring under the old pol
icy to anticipation of reform or to
change that has not yet been effected.
Meanwhile,it must be brought home
to the comprehension of the masses
that the difficulties with which the
country had to contend, during the
past year could not, in the very ma
ture of things, be justly chargeable to
the party now in power, but were the
fruits of the protection tree if they
were in any degree produced by tariff
causes. That is so plain and simple
truth as to be almost self-evident, but
when obscured by Republican sophis-
try and those appearances which are
often very deceitful, it is not appar-
ent at first sight to many unrehecting
people
1t will take a little time to demon
strate this, but the good effects which
will follow the change when it is set
to work will speak loudly in its be-
half, and open the eyes as well as the
ears of the public, and they will learn
also that Swapping jackknives," TAX
ing money out of one pocket and put
ting it into another, or taxing Peter
to give to Paul, does not increase the
volume of money or the prosperity of
a nation. Congestion in business or in
finance is injurious to the body poll
tic. When that congestion commences
to be dissipated disturbances in the
system are inevitable, but when they
have subsidized. the beneficial effects
will not only be felt but acknowledged.
A little time is all that is needed to
put this whole matter right before the
country.

NO COMPARISON.

In a purported chapter of Hawaiian
history, in which another attempt is
made to draw a parallel between the
uprising at Honolulu and the revolu-
ton in Brazil, our unfortunate morn
ing contemporary succeeds once more
in showing that the cases are entirely
different.
The turning point of the whole con-
troversy in relation to Hawaii is the
participation of the American minis
ter and the United States marines,
in the reinforcement of the legitimate
government by handful of men who
were not representative of the great
body Of the people. That is entirely
left out of the pretended history of
the Hawaiian uprising. which is thus
rendered unreliable and misleading.
And it ignores the whole gist of the
difficulties that have arisen.
The revolution in Brazil resulting
in the establishment of a republic, al
though accomplished by the active
participation of comparatively few in
dividuals, was accomplished with the
regular army, was representative of
the people, and was supported by the
people and confirmed by the people
under the operations of a proclama-
ton of universal suffrage. 1t was a
popular and bloodless revolution, sub
mitted to by the emperor without at
tempt at protest, and without any par
ticipation on one side or the other by
representatives of a. foreign power.
1t is mere babyisn to try to draw
any comparison between that and the
occurrences at Honolulu, and worse
than that to argue that because this
government decided that it ought, as
far as possible, to repair the wrong
done by it's representative and troops
in Hawaii, it is in duty bound to re-
store the empire in Brazil. 1t tempts
one to repeat our contemporary s
query: "Idiocy or Knavery," which?
1t is not true that "only about a
dozen papers altogether" in the United
States defend the Presidents position
as to Hawaii. We have published ex-
tracts from three times that number
already. But there is no argument in
that. If there was only one and the
position is right, we would prefer
being the exception rather than the rule
in the wrong. There are not wanting
instances in ancient and very modern
history in which the few were right
and the majority in error. Popular
outcries are very unreliable That
which is stamped on by the mob to-
day will often be borne on its should
ers in triumph to morrow. It is no
proof a proposition is right because
a great number of people think it is
Sc
There has been a great deal of mis-
representation on this Hawaiian mat
ter. 1t may be that a blunder has
been committed, but UP to date there
is no proof that it has been done by
the present administration. Until that
is made to appear we prefer to be
with those papers. that refuse to join
in a baselesss outcry, even if they form
a smaller minority than that asserted
by our vengeful neighbor. A number
of assertions and predictions of the
Cleveland-haters have fallen to the
ground, let US wait a little and see
what reliable news will bring from
Hawaii.

The Logan Journal makes these terse
remarks: Advocates of high protec-
ton invariably set up the claim that
the foreigner pays the tariff. If, as
they claim. the foreigner pays the
tariff tax. how does it happen that
every worlzingman in this country was
benefited by taking the tariff off sugar?
How does it happen that placing the
sugar on the free list is recognized as
substantial relief in every hoI hold?
If taking the tariff from sugar proved
such a relief to the workiugmen, and
such a benefit to every household, why
wouldn't it be a benefit and relief to
place hundreds of other fairfield ar
ticles on the free list?"
