The great strike which was inaugu-
rated Sunday by order OF the Official
board OF the United Mine Workers OF
America comes at very bad time for
the miners, Their condition has been
very bad for some time and the prices
they have been receiving for mining
have been entirely too low. They have
suffered much In consequence, but the
mining Industry has been suffering as
well. The operators have had to contend
with the demoralIzod condition Of freight
rates, unsatisfactory markets and close
competition For these reasons they
have been hard pressed to keep their
works golm and have been unable to
pay a higher ratio 70 the mine workers..

strike will last until the coal business
improves sufficiently TO warrant the OPP
orators to grant the demand. This
means an ldleness perhaps Of some weeks
and great suffering among the families
of the quarter of a million miners In
yolyed. Bad as matters have been a
strike at this particular time viii make
them worse, for the loss to the miners
by the weeks OF dleness that must en-
sue, II the struggle Is prolonged, VIII be

he required To make up the loss, The
operators, In the meantime, will lose
business while the mines are idle. I'm
der the present conditions, the granting
Of the demands would prevent them
from filing contracts without severe
losses.
The miners have the sympathy OF the
whole country, for, considering the dan
gerous character of their calling and the
hard work they perform. they are about
the poorest paid OF all our working
classes. 1t Is, therefore, deplorable that
the rulnous composition that prevails In
the coal industry, the rate situation and
other causes are such at present that the
demand cannot, except perhaps in rare
Instances, be granted.
The hope is general that some sort OF
an agreement may be reached by which
the sufferlngs that must attend long
strike may be averted until Improved
conditions In the coal trade win enable
the miners to secure what they deserve,
fair living wages.

Our Democratic friends who are ap-
provi7gly echoIn6 the complaints made
by some Of the delegates to the Pan
America Congress against our tariff
do Got appear to have studied our trade
relation with South America, and the
deleg- - themss.ves do not appear to
te famlllsi with the workings OF our
tariff.
The Review of Reviews In an inter-
eStlng comment points out that the
complaint will not bear investigation.
The tariff has not been detrimental to
International trade. The fact is, the
United States purchases three times the
value OF goods from South America as
South America buys in return. The Re-
view Of Reviews says;
With exceptions hardly worth mention
Ing the whole volume Of our imports from
South America has been admitted free of
all duty, while our products cannot get
out surmounting high tariff walls. The
Dingley bill proposes to put something OF
n tux on South American hides, II Is true;
but this will involve small hardship to
our South American friends. and II will
still remain true, when the new measure
Is completed, that our tariff arrangements
are most extraordinarily favorable to the
Latln-American countries, and compnra-
lively adverse TO our best customers, the
Europeans, OF course, the simple fact II
that We import enormous quantities of
crude materials from South America
which have not entered into destructive
competition with materials produced In
our own country II the tarif wall that
we present toward Europe In steep and
high, the reason Is also obvious. The
things Europe wishes TO sell us enter into
direct competition with the manufactures
which, most people think, II II good policy
to produce abundantly In our own mills
and factories.
This Is the whole truth about the pro-
tectlve policy in a nutshell The free
traders In the United States who are
so solcltoua about the welfare OF for
elgn manufacturers and are fearful that
we will legislate against their interests.
should remember that The nrsi duty of
Americans Is to lcglslnte for their own
Interests. They should also bear In
mind that the protests and threats of re-
talIatiun coming from over the acas are
the customary splutterlngs hoard whom
ever tnrlm bill s being considered In
Congress, They Ia not mean L. Their
trade relations wish tho United States
are too valuable at all times, and unlor
