"a License to Steal"

That must have been embarrassing
information to the United States senate
which Statistician Carroll D. Wright fur
nished that body last week concerning
the labor cost of lumber in this country
and in Canada. His figures showed that,
while tie average wages in Canadian
sawmills is $1.41 and $1.71 per day
here, the average labor cost of 1000
feet of lumber is $1.2S in Canada and
only 81 cents here. The decreased cost
Of production in this country is attrib
uted to the superior machinery used.
OF course the figures prove the free
trade contention that the rate of wages
paid does not indicate the cost of pro-
duction-that low wages are very often
more expensive to employers, and vice
versa. But these hard facts furnished
by an officer of the government will not
dissuade the lumber barons from their

AuGuSTANA COLLEGE OPENS
For the Fall Term on Tuesday, Sept.
2l, and a Large Attend.
ance Is Anticipated.

The fall term at Augustana College be-
gins Tuesday, Sept. 81 at 0 a. m. The
faculty of the institution will be the
same as last year; viz, Pres. A. G.. Tuve,
DR.. E. A. E. Petzel. Prof. c. 6. Law.
renee. and Rev. ]. S. Nordgaard.. Pres
Tuve's ability as an instructor and dis
ciplinarian is too we'll known to need
comment. He is teacher Of wide ex
! perience having taught for six years in
the country and city schools before he
was called to Augustana College in 1889
This experience together with severa
terms of institute work among the teach
ers of Iowa and South Dakota peculiarly
fits him tor the training of teachers fol
the pu bile schools.
DR.. PetZel, after graduating from the
classical course at the Northwestern Uni.
versity Wis, has taken post graduate
courses at the University of Ill.,, Harvard
University and Berlin University.
Prof.. G. G.. Lawrence is graduate OF
the University of Wisconsin and has dur
ing the summer months pursued post
graduate course at the same institution.
He will soon have earned his degree of NJ
A., as he is diligently pursuing his post
graduate work whenever his duties at the
college will permit
Rev. Norgaard, after graduating at the
Luther college, Decorah, Iowa, studied
one year at Valparaiso. Ind, one year
at Chrlstiania University, served
three terms as county clerk of Polk coun.
ty, Wis, taught for six years at St. Olaf
College, Mortified, Mlnn., then complet
ed his theological studies at the U. G,
Seminary, Minneapolis, and was ordained
to the ministry in the fall OF 1895. He
was called to Augustana college in the
fall of 1896.
With this select faculty OF able instruc
tors, Algustana college is earning for
itself an enviable position among the
educational institutions Of the state. The
graduates of the Preparatory course, who
have entered other colleges to pursue a
guished themselves for diligence and
thorough preparatory training.
The Normal Course at Augustana Col
lege has now been recognized by the state
as being equal to the normal course at
the state institutions so that graduates
from this course can obtain five year
state certificates without examination.
This should stimulate the ambition of
state certificate, when 1t can be obtained
by attending school, so to say, right at
home. We hope that right many of our
teachers will avail themselves of this op-
portunity, and thereby raise the educa.
tlonal standard of our public schools.
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1897-09-17

Senator Pettigrew has introduced an
amendment to the Dingley bill which
provides for the admission free Of duty
Of articles controlled by trusts. Should
it become law and be carried out hon.
estly, how much revenue would the bill
yield? There are trusts in sugar, coal,
window and plate glass, lumber, pot
tery, wall paper, rubber, cutlery and in
nearly all kinds Of hardware. There is
no trust in tea, but that is probably be-
cause there has been no duty to encour-
age it. There are also trusts in the
woolen and cotton industries Revenue
will be scarce if such law should be
enforced. But will those elected by
trust funds destroy the system which
fosters trusts? They may pass some such
law, as they did the Sherman antitrust
law in 1890, but it will be only anoth-
or dummy.

Total. 80 35@sl.l4
In the vast majority of cases, however, the
| actual result is between IS and 60 cents per 10(
pounds net protection to he trust, and it is
| impracticable so to combine circumstances as
| to bring this below 40 cents or above GO cents
| for any considerable amount.
! AS an item of tariff taxation the sug-
ar schedule is ideal from the protection
ist standpoint Sugar is the one article
used by poor and rich to an equivalent
extent, and tax Oh which therefore
| falls most heavily on the poor in pro-
! portion to their ability to pay it. Its
production and distribution are control
led by concern which is at once the
greatest of our mean trusts and the
meanest Of our great ones.
It is consistent therefore that on this
one article there should be levied more
than one third of our total tariff taxa
tion, and that our people should be bur-
dened by q tax Of more than 800, OOO,-
900 that realizes less than $40, O,O0O,-
900 for the treasury and more than
$40, 900, 900 for the sugar refining COM
bine, while the same combine is enabled
to net an additional SO, 900, 900 by the
opportunity given it to import at present
duty rates raw sugars from which it
can make refined to be sold by it under
the enhanced price assured it by the
proposed Aldrich schedule. The net
"protection" Of from 46 to 60 cents per
100 pounds given the trust on its refin-
ing process alone should be considered
as sufficient when we remember that
the labor cost Of this process is slightly
less than 81 cents per 100 pounds-that
is to say, Senator Aldrich, in behalf Of
American labor, proposes unduly to tax
wage earners in order to give the trust
from five to seven times as much PRO
lection" as it pays for all the labor in
volved.
Next to the wage Garner the farmer
is dear to the protectionist heart, and
he is therefore equally favored by the
sugar schedule. Of late years through
out the eastern and middle and many Of
the central states the competition CT the
far west has driven our farmers from
grain raising into fruit culture. This
has now SO developed that except for
exports of canned goods-jams, pre-
serves, etc.-in which we ought to sup
ply the world, the business of fruit rails
ing has. in its turn, become almost profit
less. And poverty is now assured to
those who are dependent upon fruit cul-
ture by the proposed tax Of two cents
a pound on sugar. This increases
by from SO to rs per cent the article
which would make up from 40 to IS
per cent of the total weight Of the jams,
etc., the export of which might insure
living prices.for the surplus fruits, but
which is now practically prohibited.
And this is "a government of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
nle - Who are "the people?"
