Wages on the Klondyke.

Single tax men will not he sur
prised to learn that the KlOndyke
discoveries have forced the author
tiles at Seattle to increase the
wages of policemen and firemen in
order to keep up the force. The
opening up of free natural opp0r.
tunities to labor has an immediate
tendency to cause wages to rise,
and if the opportunities are excep.
tionally attractive, wages within
the whole range of their influence
will be perceptibly improved. The
reason for this is not that the work.
ers need more, nor that the employ.
ers are able to pay more; it is be.
cause, owing to the new natural
outlet for labor, employers are
obliged to pay more or 60 without
workmen. This is 80 simple a prop.
Osition that anyone can see it. But
its general Importance is overlooked
because gold mine discoveries are
not common. While that is true,
yet there is an abundance of land
which, though it secretes no gold,
yields all those things that gold is
wanted for. Such are the m0nopo.
lized but unused farming acres Of
every State, the monopolized but
unused coal and iron mines Of every
mineral region, the monop0lized
but unused building lots Of every
city. Let these natural opportuni.
ties be opened, and the dark and
bleak Klondyke valley would have
20 charms. Wages wonld rise faster

New Iberia enterprise. (New Iberia, La.) 1885-1902, 1897-08-21

The Canadian government, it ap.
pears, is about to levy a high duty
on mining supplies taken from this
country into the Klondyke gold re.
gi0n, and Americans who believe
10 taxing Canadian lumber for the
benefit Of home monopolists are
very much agitated over what they
call British greed. If Canada i'm.
poses a prohibitory tariff on mining
tools and food for the benefit of Ca.
madam manufacturers, thereby
working hardship to miners OF ali
nationalities in Klondyke, the vic.
Tins should thank protectionists
on both sides of the line. They
ought not to allow tariff robbers to
fOment international hatred and
thereby create an excuse for further
tariff licenses to steal from the peo
pie in both countries.

1t there are grave doubts Of any
surplus for tho next two years.
Hence the tax on raw sugar would
have been imposed had McEnery
aud every Louisiana Congressman
fought the bill. The proof of this
assertion, the facts Of the revenue
condition, are 30 patent that the
claim Of thanks and applause for
Senator McEnery on this score is
wholly without warrant

Sir-You will no doubt be sur.
prised at seeing this communication,
as l am perhaps the only citizen
you have met since your election
who has had the hardihood to as.
sert that he did not vote for you.
And it is partly for apologizing for
that omission, and partly for the
purpose Of unburdeniDg myself that
l presume upon your valuable time.
l would have preferred unbosoming
myself to some one in Office who
was Of the same political belief AZ
myself, but since I saw how man.
fully you stood up for the principle
Of protection (which, by the way,
you may call tariff for revenue if
yoo wish) during the last session Of
Congress, l have decided that al.
though you are . Democrat, you

any other officer l can possibly ap-
proach. As you are aware, there
is only one man 10 the State that
can be elected on q Republican
ticket, but inasmuch 40 be has a
weakness for Democratic deputies,
/ cannot help but feel that l would
rather unburden myself to . Demo
crat Of Republican proclivities than
to . Republican Of Democratic
leanings. And now / trust you
will not disclose to q single being
the few secrets that l will now pro.
ceed to divulge. In the 6rst place
