PROTECT AMERICAN CITIZENS.

Even to the point OF armed interference, IL
necessary, the United States should exert
all its power to prevent the execution of
any of its citizens convicted of treason to
the Spanish government by one of Butcher
Weyler's drumhead courts martial. The
trial ofthe five men captured on the schooner
Competitor was the yeriest farce and their
conviction a fitting climax to it. Their
execution would be nothing short of an
outrage, which the government of the United
States should protest against with all the
viGor of which the English language is
capable, and for W which, if fconsummated, the
amplest reparation should be eXacted.
BY what right were these men even ar
rested. II is not shown that they were
engaged ia any Illegal transaction. The
testimony at the alleged trial was TO the
effect that when taken they were unarmed
and that they made no resistance what
ever. They were engaged in conveying
cargo of merchandise to Cuba, a possession.
of Spain, where, according to the Geclara-
ton OF the Spanish government itself, a
state OF war does not exist. So far as any
citizen of the United States is concerned,
he has nothing to do with the internal
disorders in the island which Spain is try
ing TO suppress. He has the right to trade
with the subjects of a government with
which his governmen ut is at peace, and it
does not make Il particle OF difference
whether he sells them apples or arms, or
anything else. After he has delivered his
wares to his consignee the Spanish gov
ernment can take them from the latter,
If il chooses To do so, but it has no right
TO molest, much less to imprison, the mer-
chant or anyone acting in his behalf.
Waving all these considerations, how
ever, every American citizen arr ested
upon such charges were the men on the
Competitor, has the right to be tried by
a civil court instead OF a court martial.
These men We're not taken with arms in
hand; they were not engaged, at the time
of their capture, in any hostile act against
the government of Spain; they did not
resist the Spanish officers who arrested
them. No matter what may be alleged by
Weyler and his subseryient subordinates,
in the case. A vigorous remonstrance, it is
stated, has been made by Secretary Olney;
if this is of no avail, then vigorous
naval demonstration will be next III order
WeyIer must not be permitted to butcher
American citizens with impunity.

PATERNALIsM cARRIEDToo

PATERNALISMcA CARRIED TOO FAR.
constitutional amendment empower
ing Congress TO regulate the hours of fac
tory labor is the latest proposition. 1t
has been introduced in the House of Repre-
sentatives by Mr.. Barrett of Massa chusetts,
aud provides that Congress shall have the
power, by appropriate legislation, to limit
the time during which persons may be
daily employed in manufactures of tex
tile fabrics, aud other industrieS.'' 1t is
most improbable that this proposition can
obtain the requisite three-fourths vote OF
all the States, for they viii regard it
as an invasion Of the function Of each in
dividual State to regulate affairs within
its borders. Looking at it in all its bear
| iugs, it appears like a dangerously long
| stride toward State socialism, form of
| government not in special favor with the
| people of the United States.
| 1t will be asked, if Congress is to have
| the power to determine for how many
hours every day manufacturer may en-
| ploy his operatives, why should it not also
| be empowered to do the same for employees
in every other branch of business? To be
sure the words land other industries,
may be sufficiently elastic to include every
thing, but they are evidently intended only
to indicate other than 'manufactories OF
The morning times., 1896-05-10

textile fabrics" But, IL all factories, why
not business of every kind? Are clerks in
dry goods stores, in grocery stores, In
drug stores, in the many other kinds of
stores, where from ten to fourteen hours
of daily labor is eXactcd, to be excluded
from this paternal solicitude of the gov
ernmcnt? Would it be fair to impose a re-
striction upon one class OF employers and
not upon another? And what of the
wages? If Congress is to regulate hours
of labor, it should ''pari passu'' have the
power to sayelIow much an employer shall
pay his employees, for other wise the EN-
ployer might reduce the wages in proportion
right here very serious obstacle blocks
the way.
There is. however, yet another side to
this question. Should Congress have the
right TO sa y how many hours a man or a
woman shall be permitted to give of the.1
labor to an emplo yer? Suppose that man
chooses to work ten hours instead OF only
eight, shall the right to do so bc denied
him, If by SO doing he can increase his
income and the comforts of his family?
Here is dangerous interference with the
rights OF the individual, the most radical
kind OF paternalsm, which will hardly
commend itself TO the people OF the United
States. 1t is emincntly proper for the
State to limit the hours OF child labor,
for there both the physical and mental
welfare OF the child is involved. but as
regards the employment OF adults Con-
grcss would better leave that to the en-
ployer and the workingman, who will
ultimately work out their own salvation.
