PROTECTION WHICH PROTECTS.

Compiled for The Tribune by Walter ].
Ballard.
AS bearing upon the question whether
protection affects wages one way or an
other the following letter from one of the
leading pottery employers of the United
States is extremely pertinent:
'"There is probably no class of labor so
wretchedly paid as the pottery employees
of England and the Continent. A pottery
workman from England, having certifi-
Gates of good Workmanship from several
reputable pottery firms, applied to us not
long since for a job. Said his average
wages for week were $3.50 when he
worked full time. but he did not get work
more than half the time; respectable
man with wife and four children. We
employed him at $l5 per week, and now at
piece work he earns easily $40 or more,
and one of his daughters in our decorat-
ing department earns IS or $40 per week.
Yet, in spite of the good wages paid by
the United States potters, their wares are
sold at astonishingly low prices"
1t Is an indisputable fact that because
of the protective tariff duties laid upon
tmportations Of foreign china ware the
prevailing rate of wages paid to potters
in the United States Is fully double the
rate paid in Great Britain and fully three
times the average rate paid in Continent
al potteries. Yet the current prices of
American pottery are surprisingly cheap.
The better paid American does better
work and more of IL than the poorly paid
European potter. 1t Is because of the
high wages made possible by the tariff
that he does better work and more of 1t.
Take away the tariff on china ware and
the wages of pottery employees would
suffer enormously. Either that. or the
potters of this country would be driven
out OF business. They could not compete

IT was the knowing how that added
value to his services, not the mere doing.
1t was the years of discipline, of dry de-
tails and drudgery. the years Of learning
the trade with little compensation, that
gave the value.
Hundreds of boys in this country today
are bemoanng their small salaries and
lack of opportunities, when they are right
in the whirlpool of business or trade, the
finest school possible for them. If they
would keep their eyes open, and their
minds alert and learn to see things and
absorb knowledge, they would no longer
complain of mo chance" or say that
luck is against them. They would real
ize that they have been set on the road
to fortune, and that, by sturdy trudging,
they can arrive in triumph at the goal.

PLATFORM.

We, the.Democrats of Idaho,
hereby acknowledge and declare
our continued allegiance to the
Democratic party of the nation,
and on national issues re-affirm
and endorse the principles laid
down in its National platform
adopted at Kansas City and fully
and ably represented in the pres
idential campaign of 1900 by Will
liam Jennings Bryan, regarding
those principles as opposed to
imperialism and colonialism, as
opposed to government by in
junction, as opposed to trusts
and trust-fostering tariffs, as OPP
posed to financial monopoly, and
as opposed to all other legalized
monopolies and privileges, we
condemn every effort to repudiate
or Ignore them.
We are unalterably opposed to
anarchy, and deplore with great
sorrow the cowardly act of the
assassin who struck down our
late hmented president, William
Mckinley, whose personal virtu-
es we acknowledge and respect.
The alarming recent growth
Of trusts. whereby legitimate
competition is destroyed and the
prices of staple articles of con-
sumption unreasonably inflated,
is due to high protective tariff,
failure to enforce the federal
antitrust law, and harmful
manipulation of transportation
facilities. We do therefore de-
mand revision of the tariff laws
which will place on the free list
every article and product con-
trolled by a trust; the criminal
prosecution of trust promoters
and operators in compliance with
the federal anti trust law: and
the denial of the use of the Unit
ed States mails to said trusts.
We are opposed to the Fowler
currency and banking bill pend
ing in Congress, for the reason
that it destroys independent
banks and substitutes therefor

rights with men.
We favor amending our state
constitution so as to permit state
School Land Board to invest idle
school money in county and 9TH
er municipal bonds, thus pro-
tecting such funds and making
them productive.
We favor municipal ownership
of public utilities, and pledge our
candidates for legislative and ex-
ecutive offices, to work to the
end that this principle shall be
advanced as far as may be in
their power.
We realize the power of our
newspapers and commend the
Democratic press of Idaho for it's
loyal and constant support of
the principles of Democracy, and
pledge them all moral and just
support possible from the party.
We favor the Improvement and
opening to navigation of the
Columbia and Snake rivers, and
pledge our members of Congress
to labor to accomplish such re-
suit.
We favor such legislation as
will prevent the maintenance of
any system amounting, directly
or indirectly, to coercion or the
blacklist in the employment of
labor, or the restriction of the
right to seek employment.
We recommend that each and
all of the Democratic members of
the Seventh Session of the Legis-
lature of Idaho do, Immediately
after the converting of said SEES
sion, meet in caucus, and this
convention pledges said Demo
cratic members to support as a
unit the candidate for United
States senator receiving the
majority vote of said caucus.
We pledge the support of the
Democratic party to the propos-
ed amendment to Section 3 of
Article ID of the constitution of
Idaho providing for the protec-
ton of the health and safety of
employees in factories, shelters,
mines and ore reduction works.
We call attention to the fact
that the tax levy for state pur-
poses has been reduced under
Democratic administration. Such
levy amounted IS cents on the
$500 for the year 1895, the sixth
and last year of Republican ad-
ministration in this state, while
for the present year it amounts
to only As cents on the 500. Be
lieving that the people of this
state favor an honest, efficient
and economical administration of
said state government, we APP
peal, with confidence, to the
people for their suffrage and
promise to continue that line of
conduct which has reduced ex-
penses and taxation in the past.

government by injunction, and
favor such legislation as will
prevent the abridgment. by the
abuse of the writ of injunction,

We commend the wise and

present state government, and
we point with pride to the fact
that under the Democratic man
agement of the past six years
the business of the state has been
brought to the condition where
it is now being conducted upon a
cash basis, and we invite the
voters of the state to compare
the same with the incompetent

We invite a careful examina-

We denounce the withdraw of
large tracts of land which are
more suitable and valuable for

satisfaction the fact that the
wrong thus perpetrated by the

THE WIRELESS PIONEER
A Scotch Inventor Who Worked
Fifty Years Ago.

London, Dec. 27-When Mr.. Marconi
lectured at Dundee he gave full credit. to
the Scotch inventor. James Bowman Lind
say, for being the first man who thor
oughly believed in the possibility and
utility Of long distance wireless telegra-
ply, fifty years ago. He commended that
Lindsay's system was not considered
practical on account Of the enormous cleo
trical energy required, even for short dis
tances and the necessity of placing i'm
mersed plates at a considerable distance
apart but he admitted that the inventor
would have done much more if he had
lived In the present time and been armed
with the resources of electrical science.
Lindsay's biographer has delivered lee
lures on these early experiments in wire
less telegraphy and has exhibited the orig
lnal apparatus and diagrams. The biog-
raphy which will be published shortly.
will contain many of Lindsay's letters on
the subject which prove the originality
and feasibility of his experimental work. 1t
us not generally known that Lindsay took
,out a patent for his method of wireless
telegraphy. The Scotch inventor began ex-
pei'iments in. the ponds around Dundee in
1874. and resumed them in 1853 at Ports
mouth and across the Tay. Owing to the
exertions Of Sir JohnLong, a monument
stands at Dundee to commemorate the
scientific work of this pioneer in wireless
telegraphy.
