WHAT OF THE WAGE GARNER?
A Question Which Free-Traders Per.
sistentIy Overlook.

The plea of the free-traders is that
the necessity for protecting our indus
tries has passed away. They claim
that our industries have passed their
infancy" and are now lusty enough
to stand alone. They point out that
the enormous trusts or consultations
are able to meet the world in any mar
ket on even terms, and that it is
wicked to tax the people in order to
give them larger profits. And no JUS
tice loving citizen could deny such a
charge If the conditions were as the
free-traders state them.
In the first place, the free-traders
are mistaken in their claim that the
industries of America have been alb
sorbed by the trusts. There is no in
dustry engaged in by any tariff-pro-
tected trust, which is monopolized by
that trust. To-day, for example, more
steel is being manufactured by the
many small and independent compan-
les than by the big trust. 1t is as neces-
sary to protect these small concerns
as it ever was-necessary not only as
a means of keeping them alive, but
also as a means of continuing the bet
ter pay which American workmen re-
ceive in every protected industry. This
Is phase of the question which the
free-traders seldom take into con-
sideration. They are free enough with
talk and opinions as to the effect of
free-trade on the trusts and on prices,
but they dodge the question Of what is
to become Of the American working
man when he is put into direct COM
petition with his underpaid European
fellow. 1t is certain that one of two
conditions will exist: we must pre-
serve the markets of America for
American-made goods at prices which
enable the manufacturers to pay good
wages, or we must force these manu-
facturers, through opening the door
to foreign competition, to put the
wages down to the European standard
We can think of nothing more unpleas-
ant to contemplate than such fall in
the pay of American labor. And we
can think of nothing more disinter-
ested, and, at the same time, more
suicidal than a laboring man voting
to overthrow the policy of protection.

A Favorable Forecast.

Turning to political conditions
which it must be remembered in the
light of experience are closely related
to business prosperity, the forecast in
that direction also is favorable. The
election of an opposition house next
fall would be obstructive to national
legislation after March next, but the
strong probability is that the present
control of all branches of the govern
ment will be unchanged for a long
time. There has been no tariff tink-
ering to derange industry, arrest new
enterprises and upset business calcu-
lations. The Dingley tariff is per-
forming it's appointed work well and
there should be no indulgence of the
spirit that is feverishly eager to med
die with all tariffs on academic-an-
other word for impractical-grounds.
A vigorous investigation of the trusts
by the United States government is
at hand, fact that pleases the people
and will bring about positive and salu-
tary results. In word, all the signs
point to additional years of high pros
perity.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

cattle raising. His beef steers cannot
be raised in a summer and sold in the
fall. He must be sure of the condi-
lions to prevail in the country for at
least three or four years before he will
come to the rescue. Fortunately there
is little danger of disturbance of the
protection afforded the farmer now
and he may increase his herds with
the reasonable assurance that he will
have a market for what he raises
Under our tariff the meat supply of
the country must be raised in the
United States, and the American
farmer must be encouraged to keep
up with the demand for beef cattle
We never want to see again decline
in herds like that which came after
1S93.-Carson City (Mich.) Gazette.

Moon of this place, had a narrow es-
cape from death.

got no better. He said she had Kid
ney Trouble in the worst form.
Two other doctors were called in
and they agreed that there was very
little, If any, hope. She was bloated
all over, her eyes being completely
closed and her abdomen bloated I'M

They bought six boxes Of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and she commenced to
improve at once. She had used nine
boxes before the Dropsy was all gone.
The treatment was continued and
now she is as well as ever.
Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly saved
the little ones life.

wild cattle on the ranges. 1t was
