The protectlonist papers which are
figuring ont TO their own satisfaction
that the coal strike is due TO the reduc
tion of tariff on imported coal by the
Wilson law, are promoters of strikes
themselves, inasmuch rs they wish to
political factor by dece,vIng these poor
miners. 1t ia not only crnel but it Is
damnable AS 1t p ractIcally advises distur-
Dance unless TIE p LEY OF high tariff re-
ceive acceptance. Debs and Mahon are
strike promoters only at intervals and IN
isolated cases The N Y. Tribune and
its copyists insIduons!y advise strikes as
means of political coercion and aim to
make them the settled policy of the
country, They practically urge the peO-
pie to strike AS soon as a disposition Is
manifested TO reduce the tariff The Ia
borers of the country are to be made a
huge political machine whose workings
are to perpetuate a system of robberY by
protected interests.
There Is no reason or sense IN the ar
euments presented. The strike occurs
just as the Wilson law is going out Of
existence and the old conditions under
which coal miners we're so happy are
about to be restored. The Dlngley bill
Will do peaceabIy and promptly what
the strike is intended to enforce. If
the strike is to nndo what was done by
the Wilson law why was it delayed until
the thing is undone by other means ?
There Is nothing more reprehenslble than
this readiness to distOrt everything and
to use even public calamity to secure a
partisan advantage. Silver men were Sc
verely criticised for usIng the disturbed
and unfortunate condition of the country
10 carrying ont their schemes. Was it 10
any sense worse than to ulana ..Is gigan-
tic strike an agency in popularIzing pro-
faction? And yet we express surprise that
popular government should be honey
eombed with so many defects, when those
whose duty 1t Is to teach the people de
celVe JDef0.
The papers which show such readiness
to permit other papers TO do their think
ing for them, if the though be sufficient
ly partisan, should form the habit of in
vestigating. A little industry in this
line would make them heartily ashamed
OF acceptance of the conclusions reached
by The n. Y. Tribune whose mission Is to
mlsrepresent. Note the facts: The aver
age yearly lmportatIons of coal under
the Wilson law were only in round mum
beers 100000 tons greater than under the
Mckinley law, just abont the quantity of
coal received at Manltowoc each year.
Does any sensible man believe that this
little bagalelle could be frongbt with such
momentous consequences? Think OF the
folly Of 1t, and be ashamed of entertain
lug any such idea.
