LABOR MENACED BY TRUSTS.
Reduction of Wages Held as a Menace
Against a Reduction of
the Tariff.

The threat of the trusts to reduce
the wages of their workingmen if the
tariff is taken off their productions
is an old tale and should deceive no
one. Reducing or taking off entirely
the tariff on trust productions would
have no effect on the surplus they sell
abroad and if the cost of what they
sell at home is reduced it should in
crease consumption here, and if that
is the case the factories will be run
ming full blast and the demand for
tabor will be increased instead of d.
minished. Wages follow the law of
demand and supply quite as closely as
the prices of the articles made by
labor follow like causes.
It is quite likely that the steel trust,
for instance, might shut down it's
plant if the tariff is removed from
its monopo1ies and its workmen re-
fused to accept reduction of wages,
but it cannot long remain closed or
the interest on it's bonds would be
unpaid and a change of owners would
again take place, and it would have
to fill contracts already entered into,
which generally extend six months
ahead.

RELICS WITH A HISTORY.
Articles That Are Valued ON Ac-
count OF Their Extreme
Antiquity.

A relic of historic interest occa-
sionally finds it's way from Europe to
| the shores of this country, says
| Youths Companion.
A cottage in Gaelic settlement in
! North Carolina held for years a pair
| of embroidered linen sheets, sacred in
Jacobite eyes as having been used by
Prince Charles Edward when he
lodged at the castle of the Melon
| aids at the time of his escape from
his enemies.
Flora Mcdonald, who, under the
| name of Flora MacIvor, figured as the
| heroine Of Scott's novel, "Waver1ey,"
married and emigrated to this coun-
| try and brought these sheets with
her. They remained in her possession
until her death, and she was wrapped
in them for burial, as she had pre-
viously requested.
| A curious story is told Of another
historical relic which was brought to
| this country. It is interesting to
Americans as illustrative of customs
and beliefs so widely different from
| their own.
| The clan MacNab, a warlike and
powerful tribe who held an absolute
faith in their traditions, lived from
| the earliest times in the glen of Inch
| Buie. One of their traditions was
that a holy man, ST. Fillen, had come
to the glen in the seventh century,
converted their ancestors to Christi
| anity and taught them the arts of
civilized life. Among these was the
method of grinding corn, st. Fi1lan
having built mill with his own
hands. The pivots of the wheels were
kept, and were supposed, when placed
in water, to convert it into an in
fallible medicine.
The crozier used by st. Fillan was
! kept by one family of the clan. The
head of this family always acted as
sheriff, and when going through the
mountains in search of offenders took
the crozier with him as his warrant.
This official was called dewar, or wan
derer.
In the beginning of the nineteenth
century the clan left the glen and
scattered, some of the members to
the continent, some to this country.
! A few years ago Sir Daniel Wilson,
while hunting on the shores of Lake
Superior, took refuge in the cabin OF
a Scotch settler named Dewar. He
found that the mans family had once
lived in Inch-Buie, and, pressing his
| inquiries, he had the satisfaction OF
seeing the ancient crozier brought
out. Sir Daniel bought it, and it is
4 now among the national relics in Ed
inburgh.

THE RECIPROCAL IDEA.
Makeshift of Trust-PamperinE Re-
publicans to Mislead the
People.

The attempt Of President McKin-
ley to reform the tariff by reciproc-
ity treaties was stopped by the
United States senate refusing to
ratify them and yet there is strong
evidence that the president viii per
sist in that line of action. Reciproc-
ity is a backhanded way of revising
the Dingley tariff that can be bet
ter accomplished by straightforward
methods. We cannot make a reci-
procity treaty with one country that
does not virtually make it apply to-
nearly all the others. This is brought
about by the clause in nearly all the
treaties, known as the favored ma
ton clause, which allows the same
rights and rates as the most favored
nation is given. IF a treaty is made
with France that allows certain of
her productions to be imported into
the United States at a less duty than
the rate provided in the Dingley tar
if, Germany, who produces the same
articles, under the most favored ma
ton clause must be granted the same
rate.
There is also another obstacle to-
| these reciprocity treaties, constitu--
tional objection, that has not been
adjudicated, but is believed by most
of the constitutional lawyers to be a
bar to such legislation. Congress can
not delegate its power to raise rev.
enue, which is constitutional
province of congress alone, and such
revenue bills must originate in the
house of representatives thus keep
ing the taxing power in the hands of
the direct representatives of the
people.
To revise the tariff law by max
| ing reciprocity treaties is a make
shift that does not touch the protec-
| ton granted the trusts and monop-
olies and those who advocate it are
attempting to still protect these
giant corporations. AS the trusts
are selling their productions in Eu-
rope for less than they are obtain
ing from our own people, they no
longer need protection and their
products should be put upon tariff
for revenue basis or even placed on
the free list that competition may
benefit all alike.

ROBBERY AND RECIPROCITY.
Hanna's Programme of Subsidies Fa--
vored by MonopoIistic Manu-
facturers.

The meeting of the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers at Detroit
appears to have been captivated by
the Hanna programme of ship SUBJ
sides and reciprocity. They passed
resolutions favoring the subsidy and
took steps to call general convention
for the consideration of reciprocity
treaties with foreign countries. They
also declared that tariff legislation
should furnish adequate protection
to such products only as require it
without providing for monopoly
abuses" That is something of con-
cession to come from a convention of
manufacturers. But it leaves plenty
of room for mental reservation. Who
is to judge a to the adequate protec-
ton and as to the degree of protection
which shelters monopoly abuses?
Each interest has always claimed the
right to judge for itself, and so long
as that right is conceded the abuses
are not likely to cease. Neither reel
procity nor reform is likely to come
from the beneficiaries of projections
themselves.
That the meeting was packed in the
interest of robbery of the people and
its interest used to work on public
opinion for that end can be judged by
what the Chicago Chronicle says:
The members of the American Man
ufacturers' association who at the
great banquet in Detroit screamed:
Louder" when clergyman was Of
fering prayer and then laughed up
roariously at the fun of the thing
| were properly rebuked by the pre-
siding officer. No ear trumpets would
have been needed if the preacher had
been advocating some new scheme of
taxing everybody for the benefit of
somebody, even in whisper. The Ian
guage of prayer is quite unfamiliar
to men who look upon the tariff as the
author and giver of life, light and
lucre.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

Free trade with the colonies
and down with monopolies, is the
democratic war cry.
Our manufacturers of agricul-
tural machinery think Secretary
Gage might have given them a chance
as well as the sugar trust. They
think they have as much right to
trade with Russia as the sugar trust
has to monopolize the home market.
What are the republicans going
to do with Nicely and Rathbone when
the Cubans set up their own govern
ment? Bring them here for trial they
cannot, and leave them to the tender
mercies of the Cubans would merely
result in dividing the swag with the
new officials.
The Washington Post says
''The people are tired of hearing and
reading about South Africa and the
Philippines" And well they might
be, for it has been carnival of
crime that both the United States
and England should be ashamed of
and will have to repent for in the fu-
ture.
Whichever way we turn the
sugar trust confronts us, and it seems
all powerful. Secretary of the Treas
ury Gage is its willing tool, and in
terprets the law in its favor by inn
posing countervailing duties on Rus
sian sugar. This has cut off our ex-
port trade to that country, which has
imposed in retaliation for the aid
given the sugar trust an extra duty
of so per cent. On products of the
United States.

WATERS ARE DIPLOMATS.
Restaurant Patron RECALLED by
Smooth GarcOn and Relieved
of a Tip.

One of the patrons OF downtown
restaurant laid down his paper the
other evening and, more to kill time
than because he believed the fact need
ed enforcement, relates the Chicago
Inter Ocean, said to the waiter:
"That man Choate is great diplo-
mat, isn't he, George?''
ssHe isl said George, brushing a
crumb about the size of three pinheads
from the cloth; che is, sir, but if you'll
let me say it, and my mates here are
better diplomats than he.'
s'For instance"
"There are hundred for instances.
Mr.. Choate, and Sir Julian, and Mr..
Hay, and all of them have great deal
of material to work with. Awafter is a
diplomat without any properties to
help his act along, as we used to say
when L took care of the front street
scene in vaudeville. I contend, sir,
that a Chicago waiter is the best diplo-
mat on earth, and I'll show you why.
do you know how much pay he
gets? No, you don't, and very few 9th
ers do. His salary (and it is the same
in all the first-class restaurants here)
is eight dollars week. The difference
between that and what 1t costs MIN TO
live, he must get from tips, and that
is where his diplomacy comes in.
"First, he must make friends with
the head waiter, so that he will get a
chance to serve people who look as if
they have money. Next, he must serve
them in such a way that they will want
to give him some of it. The good wait
er acts as if he is neither to be seen nor
heard, but is only at the table to antici-
pate every wish of the members of his
party. He watches every man keen1y.
His eyes never stray. No matter what
he hears, he pretends he hears moth
ing. He looks upon broken crockery
as of no Importance. He regards his
party as the only ones in the restau-
rant. He is soft-footed, and when he
has to speak he is soft-voiced. He acts
asif his party is possessed of unlimited
cash and unlimited credit. He is a
slave, old servant and manager in one.
and in the end he gets the liberal tip
by pretending to regard tip as super
fuous. That's what makes good

Thank you, sir; that's very liberal

PROTECTION FOR TRUSTS.
of . Tariff for M0nop0-
lists.

That the republican party does not
intend to legislate against the
trusts, however much individual
members may proclaim that it is
necessary, is shown by the evidence
Of Hon. Robert Taylor, member of
congress from the Eighteenth Ohio
district, given before the Industrial
commission. In his opening remarks
he declared that any attempt to take
the tariff off even trust-made goods
would be bad in its effects. The tar
if principle, he said, should not be
abandoned.
As a general proposition, Mr.. Tay-
lor announced himself as opposed to
| trusts. 81 am one of those" he said,
| 'who have not been able to bring
themselves in harmony with the idea
that the trusts are good things"
| The trusts, he declared, put 90
much power in the hands of a few
| men.
Speaking of dealing with trusts, he
said he knew of no remedy for that
evil if it is an evil. Publicity might
be a good thing, but it would be a
mere scratch on the surface. He
knew that trust has power to re-
duce the price of an article, but he
did not think the public would get
much benefit from that. In order to
pay dividends on securities of the
United States Steel company that
| company would have to extract a
| great deal from the public.
| The witness said that apart from
any other question he thought that
it would be exceedingly unfortunate
to introduce any elements of unrest
in the country by discussing the tar
if in congress or opening up the
tariff for any revising.
| Now Taylor is chairman of election
| committee No. I, and was selected as
| such because he could be relied on to
do the bidding of those who rule
congress, and, being q friend and fol
lower of the administration, his evil
dence makes it certain that there is
mo remedy for the evil" as far as
| the republicans intend to discover
one, and that even to discuss the re-
| vising of the tariff sis to introduce
elements of unrest in the country"
| If Mr.. Taylor represents the repub-
lican policy on the trusts and the
| tariff, nothing will be done to abate
the evils.
He admits there is robbery being
| committed, when he says the steel
trust will shave to extract a great
deal from the public" but he and
the large majority of protection re-
publicans intend to sit still and see
| the steel trust and the other com
| bines ssextract a great deal from the
public" A very cool proceeding on
the part of those who have been Sc
lected as the servants of the people
| to protect their interests.
The democratic position is entirely
the reverse of this. They believe
| that there is a remedy to prevent the
trusts from carrying out their plan Oh
robbing the people and that is to re.
wise the tariff by placing trust Pro
auctions on the free list except what
duties may be necessary for raising
revenue for the support of the gov
ernment-a tariff for revenue.
This will not kill the trusts, but il
will allow the world to compete with
them by withdrawing the protection
| that now gives them a monopoly.

Ship sub.idie. Not Needed.

Hanna and the ship-subsidy pirates
claim that the subsidy bill must pass
to build up our merchant marine.
There has been steady progress in
shipbuilding in the United States for
several years, says the Birmingham
News. A tonnage of $50, 54S was added
to our merchant marine in 1898, 300,-
OPS in 1899 and 393, 100 in 1900. In this
matter, too, statistics agree with gen.
eral observation. Shipyards in all
parts of the country are working to
their full capacity, with orders far
ahead, and new capital is being put
into the business. These facts go to
prove that the building and owning of
ships in this country is a proftab1
business, subsidy advocates to the con-
trary notwithstanding

The shipping subsidy

The shipping subsidy is the
most repugnant form of protection.
No more ships will be built under it
than will be under present condi-
tons, for at the present time all the
ship. yards have orders ahead and
American labor in that line is fully
employed, and to pay bonus to the
ship trust to run steamers purchased
from foreign builders would be the
