Nothing Tangible Gained for Ihe

DeciafOn.

The result Of the railroad merger
case is encouraging to the public,
though the final test in the supreme
court may reverse the decision of the
lower court. What benefit, those who
travel on the railroads or use them
for the transportation of their goods
will gain, is also question for the flu
ture. The intention Of the govern

abolish q merger of competing lines
of railroad and thus prevent rates be-
ing raised beyond reasonable rate.
Under the terms Of the decision the
stock OF the Great Northern, Northern
Pacific and Burlington railroads will

ROOSEVELT Is WRONG.
Labor Leaders Say q Tax ON Goods
Is Not . Profession to the
LAborer.

President Roosevelt said, in his
speech at Sioux Falls on April 8, that
1.-THE national government has but q
small field in which it can work in la
Dor matters" The truth of this state
ment is challenged by several labor
leaders, who assert, in the language Of
Mr.. John w. Hayes, president of the
knights of Labor, that, ''the field is
infinite. The national congress could
be kept much buster dealing with la
Dor matters and enacting labor laws
of a national scope than with all its
dealings with capital"
The most interesting part Of Mr..
Hayes interview on this subject is the
following: II might mention the inn
migration laws. There should be q
protective tariff law against the inn
portation Of cheap labor. We tax the
articles that these men make while
living in their foreign homes; but they
can come to this country and work just
as cheaply, placing their goods on the
market free of duty and drive our pro-
ducers into continued poverty. Why
not have tariff on the men as well
as on the stuff they maker"
This most important point appears
not to have occurred to most labor
men. If they understood it they would
certainly not vote for the one-sided
protection advocated by the republic
an party. Such protection, instead Of
benefiting labor, increases the prices
of manufactured goods and tho cost Of
living and, therefore, actually lowers
real wages. But it Injuries labor in an-
other way. Because most protected
industries charge higher prices than
they could charge, If unprotected.
there is diminished consumption Of
these products. This means diminished
production, fewer hands employed and,
therefore, reduced wages-for wages
are fixed by the law of supply and de-
mand in the protected az in the unpro-
tected industries.
How the republicans have duped la
Dor on this question is beyond compre-
hension. In most protected European
countries, where wages.are low, it
never occurs to the protectionists to
try to make it acceptable to the work
ing people by telling them that tariff
on goods will increase wages. The
thing would appear too absurd. They
find other excuses and pretexts, or
perhaps the car just claps tariff taxes
onto the people, without saying by
your leave and without taking the
trouble to invent lying excuses and
sophistical arguments. He does not
need to stulify his reasoning powers.
He knows that the people will pay the
taxes and that certain men, none OF
them working men, will share the pro.
ceeds with the government. He needs
his share and DEGREES protection
