A WHINE WITHOUT WARRANT.

Our old iog-trotting Democratic con-
Temperatures, in their usual plg-headed
fashion but old-time unity, are sustain
ing a dolorous chorus over the amount
of valuable time consumed by congress
in passing new tariff law. The Re
publican party were not more unanl-
mously favorable 10 a protective tarin
law than was the congress elected
with Cleveland for bastard free trade
policy. Yet it was eighteen months al
ter the Cleveland administration came
into mower before the Wilson German
bill became a law. 1t was nearly nine
months after congress assembled IN me
following December before the measure
was ready for the signature OF the pres
ident. Have the Democratic editors
forgotten this fact, or are they SIMPLY
bowling 10 bear themselves? 1t Is now
about twenty weeks since the Mckln-
lev administration took hold, and Dut
eighteen weeks since the special ses-
sion was convened. Before another
week passes the new tariff bill will be
a law if the Democratic minority does
not completely prevent it. And 1t VIII
not be the mongrel measure compiled
by Wilson, but one which will be for
the encoura cement of home rather than
of foreign industries. Democratic
gibes and filings are out of place at TINS
time. confronted as they are by the rec
ord. and the comparison Instituted
above. The time 10 howl, if ever, VIII
be after the results Of the measure
have been tested by experience, which
cannot be until such time as the eXces-
sive exports made under the Democrat
lie act have been disposed Of, which VIII
take several months. Still, il is not de
MED that conditions are materially and
very perceptibly improving in anticipa-
ton or under the assurance that the Re
publican policy of protection will soon
be the law of the land Nobody knows
better than these Democratic editors
that for rapid tariff legislation, inyolv-
ing a general revision of all the sched-
ules, which embrace in turn thousands
of things, the present congress has
easily beaten the record. Their whine,
therefore, makes intelligent people
tired

THE RIGHT TO STRIKE

One of the big organs of the Demo
cratic party is questioning the legal
right of the miners to strike. 1t holds
that, under a late court decision, a
strike is a combination in restraint of
trade, therefore unlawful. A Demo
cratic organ, especially if it be a met
ropolitan sheet, can always be counted
upon to eSpouse the cause of the rich
and powerful as against the poor. In
questionably a strike is a combine to
regulate prices, TO raise them. But
such combines grow out of the COM
bineS of capital, denOminated trusts.
The Coal Trust is one of them. The
protective measure. AS for its legality,
government had better keep its hands
off the bone and sinew Of the land in
its efforts 10 gain a livelihood, at least
attempt no coercive measures until it
has disposed of the combines which
force strikes. The welfare and WELL
being OF the laborerS wife ana cniiu
are as dear and important TO him as
are the wife and children of the mill
ionaire TO him. That which is sauce
for the goose must be sauce for the
gander. The government nor its laws
or courts. can make fish of one and
fowl of the other. In the end it will be
found that the people are the govern
ment. and there are more laboring peo
pie than all others combined. Majority
rule must go in this country, at least
until the form Of government Is radi-
cally changed. Money is power, but
not the majority when knowledge gets
its inning.

just The public will do its utmost TO
help the men 10 win.
1t is undoubtedly true that the miners
went out with the eblief that the strike
would be called off by settlement with
in a week or ten days. Predictions TO
the effect that the operators would
speedily give in We're made with great
assurance by the labor leaders. But
the operators have not given in yet and
they evince a determination TO stand
out until an agreement can be made
which will impose some obligations up
on the men. The question of wages can
be settled within a days time, but the
men want the ''store" abolished and
other things reformed. and the Operat-
Ors who stand out simply ask in return
that they be given some protection for
the future.
While the strike stands in this atti-
tude it would be the gravest folly i'm
aginable for the men to resort 10 the
club and torch TO enforce their de-
mands. Concession and compromise
will eventually bring about a settle
ment, and if the men stand back and
preserve order until victory is theirs,
it will be TO their everlasting credit and
the material glory of organized labor.
