LABORIN THELUMBER INDUSTRY
St. Paul Dispatch: While lum'
bering is one of the great interests
of Minnesota, many persons in the
state, and in this section OF the
Union, are apt not to give any great
consideration to the manner in
which the German. Wilson bill has
affected, and will affect, the vast
labor interests involved in the
lum DER trade.
A meeting was held this week OF
the board of directors of the Mis-
sissippi Valley Lumbermen's asso'
citation, at which reports concern
ing the importations Of Canadian
lumber, since the passage Of the
German. Wilson bill, were con-
sidered, among other things.
Official reports show that, for the
year ended July 1, the importa'
tons of Canadian logs and lumber
amounted to 1000, 000,0 900 of feet.
This amount was an increase of
500, O00, 900, or 100 per cent over
the amount of the preceding year,
before the present tariff duty went
into effect.
It is impossible to accurately
estimate the amount Of American
labor displaced as the result Of the
reduction of the duty upon Can
adian lumber. The amount of the
increase in importations very
nearly approximatas the supplies
in American yards, the reports
show, and that the necessity is i'm.
posed upon the members of the
association of closing their mills.
This will be terrible blow at
American labor, deprived, in that
way, of its means of subsistence,
yet there are wou]d.be politicians
in the state who claim that the
tariff question is of practically no
Importance to Western laborers in
comparison with the financial
question. There IS nothing fur.
ther from the fact.

A CERTIFICATE OF WEIGHT.

Commodities do not depend on
the declaration of a law to make
them valuable.
The value of commodity is the
amount of some, other commodity
or some service it will purchase.
. A yard Of cloth will purchase a
certain number of eggs, and a Ger.
tain number of eggs will purchase
yard of cloth.
One man has a surplus of one,
and swants the other; when he
finds man whose condition is
directly opposite-they trade.
When a man has eggs to sell, and
finds man who wants to buy, the
buyer must give some commodity
in return for the eggs. If the
buyer has no cloth, he must give
something else. If the seller does
not want cloth, he will insist on
having something else.
The seller may wish to sell his
eggs at once, and plans to buy
cloth in the future. His eggs are
perishable, and 1t IS for his inter.
ests to trade them for something
that he can keep for while, and
that Will in the future buy him as
much cloth as his eggs would now.
Metals that are practically indie.
structable are appropriate for such
use, and if he trades his eggs for
metal, he can keep the metal until
he wishes to buy the cloth, and as
the metal has preserved all its
qualities it can better be traded
for cloth. Now in trading for
metal the man with the eggs would
want metal that could be most
conveniently handled. He would
not want as much iron as a few
eggs would buy, as it would be in
convenient. He would like either
gold or silver, because consider
able value is contained in a small
bulk. If he had only a few eggs
to sell, he would want silver, as
the gold that would pay for few
eggs would be such a small piece
it would not be convenient to
handle. If he had great many
eggs gold payment to him would
be more convenient.
Iron, copper, silver and gold
have been of value to people every
since civilization began, and are
used by savages as implements,
weapons, ornaments, etc. These
metals have been used largely in
trading, being acceptable to people
in trading their perishable or sur.
plus commodities or services, and

There is nothing in the financial
history of any country in the
world to Indicate that the United
States can have free coinage OF
silver at 16 to /, and still retain
gold in circulation at parity with
the silver dollar. The free silver
ties who parade under the name OF
"bimetallists" can point to no
lesson IN history that gives any
promise that this nation can by
law double the price Of silver as
compared with gold. The
adoption of free silver at Is to l
would place the currency on a
silver basis, and We would have
monometallism. Now we use both
gold and silver as money. The
limited amount of silver that is
coined at the Is to / ratio makes
it possible to maintain the parity
of gold and silver coins, when the
comm erciaI ratio of the metal in
those coins is 81 to 1. If the COIN
age of silver bullion was free this
parity could not be maintained.

it possible to maintain the parity
of gold and silver coins, when the
comm erciaI ratio of the metal in
those coins is 81 to 1. If the COIN
age of silver bullion was free this
parity could not be maintained.
If the employers who hire work.
ingmen proposed to work for law
that would enable them to pay
their wages in 51-cent dollars, then
the workingmen could be relied
upon to vote against such a law.
But the interests of both employees
and employers are so Identical in
having prosperous times IN the
country that neither of them want
a law that will cut the value of
the dollar in two. Because mill
owner opposes law that would
cripple his business and compel
him to shut down his mills, is no
good reason why the men working
for wages in that mill should favor
that law. The owner and the
hired man both have personal
interest in having that mill run.
Only demagogue would urge the
employees to differ with their EN-.
ployer in that respect. The work
ingman and the man who hires
him have equal rights to their
opinions on all political questions.
If the man who owns a mill or
factory believes that free trade and
free silver will make his business
improbable, and compel him to
employ less men, and manufacture
less product, and therefore make
less money, he would logically
oppose free silver.
" If a workingman employed in
that mill or factory believes that
free trade and free silver would
deprive him Of work, and out of
much of the value Of his wages,
with no corresponding benefit, he
would logically oppose free trade
and free silver.
i The mill can't be shut down
without injuring both owner and
laborer.
Then is 1t strange, wrong or in
any way to be fairly criticised, if
both owner and laborer unite in
opposing a policy which each
believes will injure his interests!
It is question for every labor
ingman to calmly consider. If
mills are closed, the owner fails to
receive profits from it's operation,
and doesn't find the usual profit in
hiring men. But the men who
have lost employment by the clos
Z ing of the mills have a somewhat
more serious question than the
dissatisfied study of a profit and
loss account of one Of their enter.
prises. Their opportunity to
obtain income has left them. In
that situation what comfort or
advantage is there in the assurance
OF the demogogue that the labor.
iingmen's votes were cast directly
against the interests of the
horrible man or corporation that
had employed them?'
In past instances that has prov.
ed to be poor consolation, and an
unsatisfactory substitute for
steady work and good pay.
