pANICs AND TARIFF REFORM.
The Issue That Comes Foremost with
the Democrats Threatens Ma
tionaI Prosperity.

The democratic party has declared
for tariff reform. The issue is plain.
II means the continuance or the de-
struction of the existing state or
prosperity. 1t means good wages
against low wages, work against idle
ness, prosperity against starvation
The lean years of 1s93-1s97 still stalk
in the memory of the workman, says
the Albany Journal.
First the fact may be noted that
tariff reform and panics are linked
in history. They seem to go together.
You cannot find in the past so years a
panic that didn't start with tariff ag1-
tation or a new tariff law. In 1887
the government thought 1t had more
revenue than it needed and it changed
the tariff. In 1857 there was panic.
A demand came in 1872 for new
tariff law and there was q ten per
cent. reduction Of duties. A year
later the country came face to face
with a panic. In 1888 the conditions
were identical-tariff revision and
trade reaction. In 1892 Cleveland was
elected on the issue of tariff reform
and during his term of four years
workshops and factories were closed,
wages were cut down and free soup
houses were established. 1t would
be too much to say that tariff reform
Is the cause OF panics, for there are
many things that underlie conditions
from which panics arise. Yet no per-
son, no matter how clever or learned
he may be, can escape the conclusion
that tariff reform Is most serious
obstacle to the continuance OF pros
perity, that IT. promotes panics, that
A. Is. IL not the cause, at least q CHIEF
cause, of panics. Tariff reform in
variably results in deficit in the
governments finances or a surplus
too small to insure the safe admins
trat,on OF Its affairs; II permits the
products OF foreign workmen to come
into direct competition with the prod
ucts OF American labor; 1t compels q
reimbursement OF trade conditions; 1t
upsets the calculations Of business
men. IL causes spirit of uneasiness
To spread through the country; IL
gives rise to fears that bring on pan
los, II precipitates a host OF elements
that are full Of danger.

Washington. Nov. eo.-rhe general
superintendent Of the life-saving
service has rendered his report for
the year 1909. 1t continues to show
most gratifying results of the work
OF this humane organization
The number of disasters to vessels
within the scope of the operations
Of the service during the last year
was greater than ever before with
the exception of the years 1895 and
1901, yet the loss of life was very
small. The number of lives lost from
documsnted vesseis-those of five
tons burden or over-was only 10,
while six were lost from smaller
craft-sailboats, rowboats, etc
making a total of 25-a number far
below the average.
The number of disasters to docu-
mented vessels was 3s5. On board
these vessels were 3.42i persons, OF
whom 10 were lost. The estimated
value of the vessels was s9,253,630 and
that of their cargoes $685. $50, max

property involved in these instances
is estimated at s174,120, of which

The life-saving crews saved and as
sisted in saving 434 imperiled vessels,
valued with their cargoes at S3,567 ,220.
OF this number 1874, valued with their
cargoes at S977, 500, were saved without

the life-saving crews cooperated with

agencies, in saving property estimated

Conscience .. Futuxe % Trade Evi-
aeacea ~ Voluntary wage Ia
crease ~ Railway Cempanf

New York, Nov. ar. g. Dun q
Co.'S Weekly Review says: "volun-
tary increases in wages by some Of
the largest railway systems in the
country bear eloquent testimony to
the amount of business handled in the
past and emphasize the confidence of
officials in continued heavy traffic.
Moreover, by this addition Of large
sums TO the purchasing power of rail-
way employees, there is assurance Of
larger demand for all staple lines of
merchandise. Temporarily, sales of
seasonable lines of wearing apparel
are retarded by mild weather, but this
loss will be fully made up when low
temperature becomes general. Prep
arations for holiday trade are on an
unprecedented scale. especially at in
terror points. There is no relief as to
the congestion of railway traffic, nor
any immediate prospect of free move
ments at the points of most serious
blockade.
Failures for the week numbered
200 in the United States against 21s
last year, and "a in Canada compared
with 81 year ago."
Bradstreet's says: Favorable con-
ditions still govern the trade situation.
The mild, open fall weather is COM
planned of as restricting the movement
of winter goods at retail and delay
ing collections at a few points, but il
is not to be forgotten that present
temperatures favor the continued
growth of the cotton crop and lar
ger yield than heretofore expected,
while it is enabling the railroads to
make far better fight against the
prevailing freight congestion than
was earlier deemed possible. Export
trade returns look better than prelim-
mary reports foreshadowed. Agricul-
tural products, owing to high prices,
have gone abroad in smaller volume
than expected, butthere is evidently
larger movement Of manufactured
goods"

ILLS OF MINERS.


Scranton, Pa, Nov. 21.-The eco-
nomic and sociological features of
the anthracite coal industry and the
effect employment in and about the
mines has upon the health Of the
mine workers were the principal sub
jects brought before the arbitration
commission Thursday by the attor-
neys of each side to the controversy.
While there was an entire absence OF
oIatory or brilliant cross-examina-
ton which marked the proceedings
during the last few days, the cross
examination nevertheless closely had
the attention of the commissioners.
and they gained much information
ON the several features touched upon
by witnesses.
The afternoon session was partic-
ularly interesting because it brought
out much expert testimony on the
question of the health of the mine
workers. Yhree physicians who have
practiced in Scranton or Wilkesbarre,
took the stand for the miners and in
substance testified that the occupa-
ton of mine worker was very I'M
healthfnl," and shortened his life.
One physician, DIR. Frank p. Lenahan,
of Wilkesbarre, who says he has had
long experience among mine work
ers, testified that fully 30 per cent.
of the men who work in the mines
are anaemic. Their health is impov-
erished, and their general condition
is below par, thus decreasing their
earning powers.
The principal ills suffered by the
miners, the physicians said, are the
miners asthma, rheumatism, lum-
bago and sciatica. The miners asth-
ma comes from coal dust, powder
smoke and vitiated air. DIR. John
O'Mally, of Scranton, said that at
post-mortems he had seen miners
lungs as black as anthracite itself,
and DR.. Lenahan testified he had per-
sonal knowledge of man coughing
up coal dust nine years after he left
the mines. He said he had informal
tion that man had coughed up coal
dust Is years after he had left the
mines. 1t was also stated that 90
per cent. of miners who reached the
age of so years are afflicted with
some form of rheumatism.

ONCE MORE IN LINE.
Western states Redes-ssa fre. H.
natural Alliance By the Progres-
sive Spirited People.

4 -
To those who regard republicanS
ism's future the most pleasing result
of the recent national election is that
attained in the Is states west of the
Mississippi river and north of Mis-
souri, and the territories. These
states are peculiarly the children Of
the progressive Americanism for
which the republican party stands.
Eleven of them directly owe their ex-
istence to republican administra-
tons, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Yet in these states rose and -four
ished most vigorously the revolution
airy ideas of populism. For time the
dominating influences of their poll
tics were as alien to the progressive
yet conservative spirit of republican
ism as are the reactionary tendencies
of the democratic solid south. Be
tween their populistic leaders and the
southern democratic leaders was
formed the strangest alliance known
to political history. Wide apart as
the poles in their real aims, these
leaders, nevertheless, combined to
overthrow the republican party and
seize the national government.
AS result of this unnatural alli-
ance the republicans in 1892 lost 81
of the so electoral votes of these
naturally republican states. Had Mr..
Harrison carried Connecticut New
Jersey, West Virginia, Indiana, Illi-
nois, Wisconsin, and all of Michigan
and Ohio, he still could have been de-
feated by giving Mr.. Cleveland the %
votes cast by these states for Gen.
Weaver. That Nr. Harrison would
have been so defeated, if necessary,
there is no doubt. The alliance be-
tween the south and the far west was
openly proclaimed and was ready to
overwhelm the east and middle re-
gion had there been need.
AS n further result in 1896 the re-
publicans lost 10 of the Is states by
a popular majority for the group ex-
ceeding $4,000. But the unnatural
character Of their alliance with the
reactionary south had begun to dawn
upon the progressive people of the
far west. In 1898 the tide began to
turn back to common sense and re-
publicansm. Eight of the Is went re-
publican and the republican majority
in the group was nearly $4,000. In
1900 the tide flowed still higher.
Eleven of the IS gave net repub-,
lican majority of 273,000 for the
group.
The last election sees practically all
this group of states back in line and
marching once more in the republican
ranks. Only Nevada is still nominal
ly democratic by 500 majority. And
it is we'll known that Mr.. Newlands,
while formally democrat, because
of local conditions in Nevada, is in full
accord with nearly all progressive re-
publican policies. And in an of
year the republican majority OF this
group is nearly 279,0OO, or 5000 great
er than in the last presidential year.
The unnatural alliance between the
reactionary south, unwilling to move
at all, and the far west, some OF whose
people wished to move too fast, has
been dissolved. 1t has been destroyed
by the common sense and progressive
spirit of the people of the far west,
who see that their future lies in get
ting back in line with the republican
party. And they are back in line.
