RAILROADS AND WAGES.
Corporations Can Not Fix Wages in
Proportion to Rates.

Corporations Can Not Fix Wages in
Proportion to Rates.
Among other methods employed by
railroads to prevent legislative reduc-
ton Of rates was the threat that il
rates were reduced labor would have to
bear the burden in reduced wages; and
the roads found effective allies in en-
ployes who petitioned the legislature
to spare them by refusing to reduce
rates. The threat was absurd, and the
action of employees almost idiotic. Rail-
roads never wait for adverse legisla-
tion before reducing wages, and en-
plOyes know it. In states where rates
are fixed by legislation wages of rail-
road employees are no lower than in
Minnesota, and employees know it. De-
mand for labor makes it's price, in rail-
roading as well as other things, and
|. therefore If farmers could retain to
themselves larger percentage of the
value Of their crops, instead of hav-
lllS IL SO lIlO ldlllOdu CUuClS tuey
would have more with which to buy
supplies, would be better patrons of
railroads, augmenting their business,
increasing their demand for labor, and
consequently increasing wages. Rail-
roads pay labor no more than they are
compelled to, no matter how rich their
owners may become. If they were
little less rich and farmers a little more
SO railroad laborers would be advan-
tagged in spite of railroad owners. This
is the lesson that employees of all
sorts, In a. country like this, must learn:
Ultimately all wages will be relative
to the earning capacity Of farmers. II
they are profit makers labor will be
better paid, and as their profits de-
crease or disappear wages must go low
er and opportunities to work must be
fewer.-Sidney M. Owen.

A POLITICAL RUSE.
Our ENJOYS Extraordinary to the Courts
of Europe.

Our ENJOYS Extraordinary to the Courts
of Europe.
A Washington correspondent writes:
James Hamilton Lewis, the brilliant
young American who represents dis
trict in the state of Washington in
the present House of Representative
has very little faith in the so-called
bimetallic commission. Yesterday he
introduced bill in the House provid-
ing for the repeal of the act under
which the "envoys" were appointed
He takes the position that the whole
effort to secure conference is unde-
slrable. His views are best stated in
his own words: "The purpose of my
bill is to repeal the law permitting this
unnecessary and useless commission
and save to the people the 100000 to
be spent under the measure. Of what
avail can the conference be? Sena-
tor Wolcott upon his return from Eng
lard said that we could have inter-
national agreement to coin silver if
only England would agree. This was
an oft told tale. We silver men had
been constantly urging the recognition
or this obstacle as the reason why we
should act independently and no long
er parley with devices rendered to be-
guile the hopeful.
70
ference four times, averaging an ex-
pense to us in all of $114,000 a trip,
counting the printing and circulation
of reports 100000? And all with but
one result, decision to have more con-
ferences. Here we are in debt, our ex-
penditures being S40,000,O00 annually
in excess of receipts. Appropriations
are made to an amount of 81 240,000,-
600, all payable on gold premium ba-
sis and we are now to expend 100000
to provide a set of gentlemen for
eign excursion which has for its OBJ
ject the postponement of any action by
this administration on silver until af-
ter the next congressional elections.
"The ruse is too apparent. If we
are friends of silver let us be friends
to her, irrespective of her enemies. Let
us legislate for our money medium, as
we are assuming to do in the matter
of the tariff, Notwithstanding the pro-
test of England or Germany or other
nations. 1t is to this end that I would
move at once by abolishing the COM
mission. l am opposed to this sense
less junket and unnecessary expense"

Republics May Deteriorate.

To what low and base conditions
even republican government may fall
is illustrated in this description Of an
cient Athens, when her people thought
themselves enjoying the blessings Of
political liberty: "The great men were
only too prone to regard their fellow
citizens as a rabble, mere things to be
played off against one another, and to
consider that the objects of life were
dominion over the property and rights
of their fellows; that love, self-sacri-
flee and devotion are fictions; that
oaths are good only for deception.

Leo TOistOl.

The government, as we'll as the rul-
ing classes, know, in their secret hearts
that the land question contains all So
cial questions; that, with Its solution,
all special privileges would disappear,
and that this question is the leading
