AGAINST THE REVIVAL OF M'EIN.
I.ESISN.

The Springfield Register advanced
the opinion several days since that
wages in the rolling mills 1T that place
are 10 per cent. higher now than the
average rate under the Mckinley act.
and In reply thereto the Journal of the
same city, and Il staunch piotcctionist
newspaper, makes some curious COM
mente. but does not deny the truth of
the statement OF the Register. For in
stance II says that the wages of men
at the rolling mills are now 100 per cent
less than they We're ten years ago un-
der protection and union rules" This
is curious indeed. Doesn't the journal
know that 100 per cent. less means
nothing? The Chicago Chronicle. how
ever. takes up the question and very
properly reasons out the true idea in
this wise.
Therc is also obscurtty In the refer
ence 10 union rules ten years ago. Ii
required not only ironclad protection
for tho mill owners. but union rules by
the mill men to keep wages UP proba-
bly, protection had very little Ia do with
il, ana the compulsion OF union rules 10y
winch the mill owners were held caused
the high rate Of wages.
l'u; til" Republican organ lodges the
question 1t speaks about wages ten
years ago. That was five years before
the Mckinley tariff law was enacted
The statement OF the Democratic paper
at Springfield is that wages are highc,
now than under the Mckinley tariff
five years ago. That fact is not denied.
But II is said that wages nrc only half
as high as ten years ago. 1t must have
been, then, that wages were reduced
orc-half under tho Mckinley tariff.
This is apparently trivial. but ii is
really Important. 1t amounts TO CON
fession from a protectionist organ that
Mckinley wages We're less than The
wages that prevailed under the previous
tariff. II shows that present wages are
higher than the Mckinley scale 1t is n
complete argument against a revival of
Mckinley principles in revenue lcgis-
lation

SHORT CAMPAIGNS AND THE IN
fI.UESCE or THE PRESS.

In the opinion OF the State Demo
cratic state Central Committees.
there is no need of II prolonged" or Il
speaking campaign In the coming
Legislative contest and In this the
committee is correct. The idea of short
campaigns is gaining strength through
out the country. Just at this time
long campaign for educational pur-
poses is not necessary. and principally
for the reason. that the political in
struction Of voters does not wholly de-
volve either upon State or national
committees or orators. but TO Il great
extent upon the press of the country.
which after all is the greatest educator.
1t is true that National and state
Committees are necessary and that
the canvasscrs and orators are
needed to organize the voters
and to enthusc and stimulate
the masses. but the real work of
educating the people is in these days
left To- a very great extent to the news
papers.
They need no incentive To do this: ii
Is Il patriotic duty and one To which
they have responded to with alaCrity.
Short. vigorous campaigns entails less
expense and being soon over, the pco-
pie are permitted to return To their
wontcd avocations. and the country at
large is benefited thereby. Under GER
tain circumstances and conditions ii

ENGLAND. RUSSIA AND FRANCE
IN THE ORIENT.

There is some little speculation goins
on, not only in England, but in Cont
mental Europe. concerning the real in
ing with the sublime porte in references
10 the Armenian outrages. 1t will be
remembered that the Premier informed
thc Turkish Minister that further op-
preston OF the Sultan's Christian sub
jects would be made the occasion OF a
line of action threatening the diSmcm-
bcrmcnt of the Turkish Empire but il
is not believed that England is ready to
consent to the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF the
Turkish Empire. much less being The
first power To move in that direction
Russia and France. however. are not
blind 10 the opportunities offered in
such an event, and following fast upon
the declaration of Lord Salisbury. the
two latter powers have threatened TO
take similar action.
Should England move in the matter
it is quite plain that Russia and France
would follow, and Salisbury would find
himself in company not much to his
liking. 1t is for this reason that many
who know his distrust of Russia oucs-
ton his earnestness in making the
threat with which he is credited. Moth
ing would please Russia more than to
have Salisbury put his threat into exc
cution Not that the Muscovite cares
iig about the Armenian outiagcs. but
because II would give him an opportu-
nifty To fall upon the sick man OF Eu-
This accomplished Russia would qnick-
ly find an outlet To- the sea. a desire so
strong with the Muscovitc as to become
almost part Of his being. What such
an achievement means to Russia. Eng
